hello there, early riser....

The past couple of days have been good. Real good.

I slept at night for the first time in two weeks. I woke up at 5am but beggars can't be choosers right?

I got the Sims Medieval a couple of days ago and I'm totally hooked. What can I say, I'm a nerd. But its fun so I don't care.

And this afternoon, we are going to sign a contract. Not just any contract, THE contract. I am so excited!!!!

Here's a peek of a few of the model pics!

hello there, bicycle part deux...

Hi.

Guess what? Its 1:39 am. And I'm wide awake. Surprised? Probably not. I wish I was sleeping right now though. I really really do. My house has been messy for a week and I keep saying I'm going to clean it and then I keep being a bum. Husband is so sweet though, he just says "don't worry hun, its not dirty and you deserve to do whatever makes you happy." I love him. But really, the missionaries are coming over tomorrow evening and its my last day off before the work cycle starts up again, so I really really need to get it done.

We had a fun weekend. Friday, we had dinner and watched some TV. Husband was burnt out from the work week but I was jonesin to get out of the house so I decided to get a new new bike. This wasn't spur of the moment. After purchasing our first pair of bikes I started doing some research on them and found out that they were no bueno for what we needed. We had bought mountain bikes but should have bought hybrids. So after A LOT of research I found us some Schwinn's. Yay! We were going to go do the returning/purchasing on Saturday but I couldn't wait. So off I went!

After sleeping in till 5pm on Saturday (yes you read that right) we went out and got husbands new bike and all the fixins! And even thought it was a rare, cold and rainy night, we just HAD to take them out for a ride. Bliss! I seriously think we have found a new hobby.

In fact, Sunday we were still so excited about the bikes we got up and rode them to get breakfast. 15 miles! Holy cow! Our buns were hurtin but we were so happy we did it. And I loved spending the day with him. Its not too often that we both have the whole day to spend together so I treasure the times we do.

BTW I have vowed to take more pictures of our lives. I'm missing out on way to many magical moments! In the meantime you'll have to settle for these stock photos of our bikes.
Bye!

So fun huh! I kinda want to make mine a little more vintagey by getting a brown leather seat, brown handle bars and white tires. Also, sadly, my derailer isn't red but thats ok. I still love it to death!

hello there, bicycle....


I'm up at 3:30 am for two reasons.
1) I started my new job at the hospital where I work the night shift. I was supposed to work tonight but they called me off and in an attempt to not throw my sleep schedule off completely, as I have to work the next couple of days, I'm trying to stay up.
2) I'm on exercise induced endorphin high! This morning we got up and hiked SanTan Mountain with our friends Drew and Laura. It was the perfect not-too-easy-not-too-hard hike. And then this evening, in a moment of pure spontaneity, we bought his and her's mountain bikes.

We have both mentioned on several occasions how much we'd like to have bikes cause there are so many trails to ride around here so we are VERY excited to have them. We had to pat ourselves on the back cause we mapped our first ride and found out we went 7.5 miles! Quite good for two people who are out of shape!

hello, there minimal cinema

I don't remember how but, during some very fortuitous web surfing, I stumbled across this little treasure of a site and am totally smitten. Its called minimal movie posters and is basically a collection of lots of different graphic designers re-designed movie posters.

And its awesome.

My husband and I poured over the images forever and had fun picking out our favorite ones. We both tended to be partial to the ones that used some intelligent humor for their artwork selection and that had a vintage flare.
These are submitted by a large variety of people so not all of them are readily for sale but with a little digging you can probably get your grubby paws on the one you want. We were even able to order a couple we really loved! Here are some of our favorites:












It was hard to even narrow it down to these few!

enjoy!

hello there, Gimp..

First, you should know this is my first attempt at blogging from my phone. Which means the combination of my phone and the speech to text recognition this should be finished in no time flat.

The speech to text comes in very handy given my current situation. Long story short I broke my middle left finger in such a way that it was pointing way far off to the left. I had to get surgery to straighten it out and my entire left hand is now wrapped up like a giant boxing glove. So there won't be a whole lot of blogging going on until I have two hands to type again.

On a happier note I bought johns valentines day present which has sort of a funny story that I'll tell you about next time.

Bye!
