Sundays are for Relaxing.

Sundays have usually been our relaxing day. Per usual, my hubby let's me sleep in as long as I feel. When I got up this morning the aroma of stew had masked the air. Beef Stew:) We decided yesterday that we would take the day off and stay in, so we stocked up on grocery for the next day (for today).

We spent hours getting teased by the delicious smell of meat, onions, potatoes, and other good ingredients from the stew cooking in our good ol' CrockPot. I wish we had more uses for it because I know there's plenty we could make but we usually just go with the usual. And only have it probably...oh once every two months or longer.

I started on my new book, the last book in a Trilogy I've been reading. Well I pretty much finished the first two books LAST YEAR and waited for the third to go paperback. That's the way I roll with my books. Paperback for easy transporting:) I did a bit of filming for a new video too. I just have to figure out how to transfer from our new HD camera. Actually I think I know how to, but I need to buy the USB cable. Le sigh.

And that's pretty much how my Sunday went for this week. I've started blogging more here and at tumblr and yeah...

Until next time:)

The Day the Sun melted the Snow.

I woke up today with a mission to dye my hair. I’ve been itching to color it for awhile now but I wasn’t sure if I wanted a subtle or drastic change. So I had two boxes and a choice to make—-I went with the subtle change route. Thus started my day…

Today was an awesome, awesome day. The past two days our town had seen Snow, and it doesn’t bother me at all. I enjoy the snow, as long as I don’t have to commute in it. And it was, of course, WONDERFUL to see the Sun (it’s Washington State, sun is definitely NOT an everyday occurrence) out for a change. Sun is essential for a healthy mind, it's inspiration. And I had a million things running through my brain. So many ideas, so many ideas indeed!

For starters, My husband and I had lunch at our favorite Gyro place. This place is a gem! A hole in the wall with a 15 minute wait. But its worth it. Indefinitely. Oh man, how I could eat Gyros everyday of my life if I had to. With no real plans we stopped in at our local B&N store. We maybe spent 5 minutes in there and then immediately decided to hit up one of the Borders Bookstores that was closing up near by us. (if you haven’t heard, Borders is filing for bankruptcy, google it!). We took a trip across the only tolled bridge (in State) to Gig Harbor. And OMG, best idea ever!!! I found so many goodies, it was insane. I had to narrow it down with my hubby’s help:P

Afterwards, we decided to hit up the nearby Target just to take a gander and buy dry cat food, literally. I spent some time within the day testing out my time-lapse skills with an app I found for my iPhone, at just about every place we went lol…Fun times! We headed home as the sun started to set and that cold chill moved in. It was a great day out…And a much needed one too! A day like any other day should never be wasted!!!

And the other best part of my day was receiving my third package of four LOL. Okay, so I may have went a little online shopping crazy but I never really shop anyways, so it's all good;) Awesome sauce.

#19: Projects.

I definitely enjoy any type of art projects. Being creative is my ultimate outlet. Whether it's through ideas, painting, photography, or writing you name it. I'm up for it! I love the feeling of accomplishments and how people appreciate your work of art. It's most rewarding:) I finish all projects are start on, though some may be completed faster than others. Most times I'll spend a lot of time extending a project just because I don't want it to end!!

#18: Life Changes.

Whether it's embracing it change or planning on change --realistically Change is always a good thing. Most change in Life should be for the better, if it affects a life or two, or a whole group. It's necessary to let life unfold in it's ways. And overcome obstacles. But most importantly to leave behind the past to make room for improvements;)
