sunsets from Mayan Riviera, Mexico 2009

1-10-11 and 1-11-11 SNOW!

Day 2 of snow!! Zane spent the days looking out the window.



We went out for a bit...




If you're a bird, I'm a bird

Recently, I went downtown Franklin and saw lots of bird paintings....for $300 or more on 12x18 canvas. I can easily paint the same images for about 10 bucks. So, I did just to prove it to myself. I wish I had an original picture but I don't. So, I painted this for fun. No idea where to hang it...


It's 24x18 and still wet/shiny in the picture. For now, it sits in the front guest room.

The family that paints together stays together!

Over Christmas break we painted the bonus room! It took awhile because 1. it's a large room and 2. it has lots of angles/corners/molding/ and skylights. At first Zane chilled on the junky couch.As soon as Uncle Justin came he was allllllllllllll for helping. He followed Justin and the ladder around the room.
The whole house is a soft white/yellow which is kinda an odd choice so we had to paint the ceilings too.

We're turning into a theater room and got another big flat screen and are working on surround sound. But, I'm having the HARDEST time ever finding a large, modern grey or charcoal colored L shaped sectional. I need help. We've been allllllllllllll over. Either they don't come in the color scheme family or they are too tiny.

Stay tuned for more pictures. I hung all my photographs up from Europe and our travels and the black frame/white mat images look great!

Reality TV

Take it in stride, it's only TV!

I'm already tired of people being so up in arms that Brad got a second chance on The Bachelor. I've seen the blogs and topics on being astounded, shocked or disappointed in him. He's had nothing but bad publicity about not selecting a girl on his first season and it looks like it may haunt him this time around. Well, I say GO BRAD, you didn't commit or pretend to love someone for reality TV only to break up on the front of People Magazine the next week. SOMEONE, who shall remain nameless, but still loved, already announced who he selects via her facebook. :o) If you want to know too, Google Reality Steve Bachelor and it will tell you. You know I hate surprises so I read it too just like every other year.
Anyways, since I am on a roll, I'm excited to watch this season of Jersey Shore and fist pump solo from the comfort of my home. woo-hoo!
