FRIDAY= good times.

hi kids, hope you're all well!

as always, i love the weekends...
so much to do and it's almost
already the end of the month which
means Halloween and soon after that,
Dia De Los Muertos... which translates
into lots of fun and activities. we plan
on going to a parade in the valley and
i'm going to take lots of pics with my
loverly holga camera! it's been too long...

this weekend i am going to make sugar skulls
and i'm pretty damn excited! mine won't be
edible though because i got all sorts of beads
and rhinestones and shit to decorate them.
AND they're way to sweet to eat anyway. i'll
post pics later next week.

another AWESOME thing we're doing is
attending a rally for barack obama and i am
thrilled. odds are it'll be super packed and
barack will be the size of an ant... i don't
care, i wouldn't miss it for anything!

well, i should get back to work and
to playing scramble (a word game/time
killer) on facebook.

yellow, red & orange

Just Back Butterin' pt.2

So, I mentioned before we were re-doing the re-do of
the bathroom and guess what? We're finally done
and it looks great! A crippled (ow!) arm and a year later ...
we. is. done. Check it:


You see that fancy tile work? um hum, done by yours truly.
Not too shabby for a first timer.

It's Me Again.

Who would've thought I like talking about myself so much?
Oh, yeah, this blog is about ME! ME! ME! and mi vida.

The Sweetness in my life has been working so hard
in the yard, what with like 50 gardens and what not.
I love watching him work, he is so excited and devoted
to growing us delicious goodies like this:



I help a little when I can, but there's no denying,
he does all the grunt work. Love you baby!



On Saturday, we made some more cinnamon rolls and
I've been stuffing my face with them...
I. can't. help. myself.



Oh, yeah... have you seen 30 Days of Night?
It's pretty entertaining if you're into blood sucking,
crazy screeching vampiros. But, be prepared... Our hero
dies (burns, whatever...) in the end and it's sad!



Wednesday I'm meeting with some gals from Duke City Fix to
talk crafts and a possible craft show... looking forward to
that! I have all sorts of ideas and it'll be great discussing
things like glitter and coasters and knitting and art... things
that Craig is sweet enough to pretend to care about. Any ABQer's
free @ 6p, head over to N'tl Atomic Museum and join us!

It's my turn to cook dinner tonight, what should I make?

Beautiful Film Week

Abby Try Again is having Beautiful Film Week over
at her blog and I'm a little late getting started, but the film
I choose is Away From Her. I wrote about this film a while
back, but I find it beautiful in so many ways, I decided to write
about it again.




Love is hard. Living with someone is also hard. I could not
imagine forgetting parts of my life that I share with my
lover years from now. That's what happens when Fiona starts
to slowly lose memories from her life with and without her
husband... because of Alzheimer's Disease. After much consideration,
Fiona thinks it best for her and her husband if she is institutionalized.
From there, you see a beautiful relationship put through the ringer and
the affect on both parties.

You'll probably cry buckets of tears if you watch this movie,
but you will also appreciate those in your life once you dry
your tears.

I came across this fun project and now I'm addicted...
It's stirring up so many memories from, well, life.

check it out and start your own!

Beautiful Book Week

is a project that I came across @ Hula Seventy's blog,
but the idea is from abby try again, another deliciously
creative blog. Anyhoo, the idea is to post images
and passages from books you consider beautiful...

I'm all over it.

here's a beautiful favorite of mine:


"I wasn't born and raised to be a Kyoto geisha.
I wasn't even born in Kyoto. I'm a fisherman's
daughter from a little town called Yoroido on
the Sea of Japan. All my life I've never told more
than a handful of people anything at all about
Yoroido, or about the house in which I grew up,
or about my mother and father, or my older sister-
and certainly not about how I became a geisha,
or what it was like to be one."
