Daily Obsessions

Drama

I was blogging pretty regularly until about a few weeks ago.  Let me tell you what happened.... I was taking pictures for my blog of my pretty new chairs that I had just painted .........................

I was moving around my table and a big kitchen bench... ...............

when if fell on my foot.  It was painful, and a lot of swelling happened, but nothing broken!  So I hopped around for a couple of days, and things got back to normal.  I found some great finds garage sale-ing

Like this great bookshelf for $7, a bed side table and lots of lead infested toys for the kids (JK that is another entry)

I also recieved an amazing present from my sister in law Staci,  she sent me this beautiful window that I totally adore.  Thank you so much Staci.

Stay tuned we have alot more going on!   

I dont like fake food...

I dont like fake food, I think it is a crule joke that mean people play on children and hungry adults such as myself.  When I was younger and attended a sunday school for children, they would pull out a fake cake and let the birthday kid hold it while everybody sang to them....who would think that is a good idea?  Nobody involved that is who(except the person, who made cardboard look like a cake, and put rock hard icing all over it!)  I just saw some food make of felt on etsy and it stired up some bad memories....

Christmas 2007

I am getting really excited for Christmas, don't roll your eyes and click the back button, let me explain.  I get really excited when I find a style that I love , like recently found Boden for clothes.  So I have found my Chirstmas style... are you ready. Scandinavian Christmas!  Check out this site with some good examples.  I can also make a visit to the local friendly Ikea for good ideas too.  I would love to get some Christmas decorations done now so I can enjoy them in a couple of months.  I will keep you posted..... Ok, now roll your eyes and hit the back button.

To my beloved Geneva Glen.....

Dear Geneva Glen,

To my beloved, the place where I found me.  Geneva you have my soul, the way Harry Potter has a piece of Voldemort(but in a good way).  I will die before I forget what you have done for me, and probably not even after that.  I was 17, a sad, pasty white, searching for an adventure and you took me in, on a chance.  You hired me as a young Counselor in Training.  Your surrounding were new and different.  I wasn't sure about the people I was working with but you had faith in me. I learned to love everyone I can in contact with.   I blossomed.  I grew because you had faith in.  I accomplished thing that I never thought possible.  I screwed up but you forgave me and forgot.  I found things that I loved doing.  I climbed trees, rode horses, and played in the mud, I played with kids. I learned patience, sacrifice, and love.  I had my first kiss in Black Canyon with Jesse B.  I made the one of my best friends in the next few years...I was a leader and accomplished much, I gave my all,I gave you 5 years of my life,  but you gave me much more.  Geneva Glen I was bettered by you.
