Great Public Service Announcement

I guess even zombies like fresh meat!

Interesting recipe for making guacamole

But I certainly wouldn't eat it!

Hello Mash-Up

Who knew that I could ever come to like this song again?

Too Cute...

I must be bored...

...because I found this incredibly funny....

...is that sick or what?

My head is still spinning....

This will certainly be an odd post, given the type of girl that I am, but I have come to learn that you really can have too much of a good thing.

Two summers ago I bought a gas can....you know the type, red, plastic....boring. I was stocking up on a few "for the car" things and figured it was always good to have a nice gas can on hand.

A few weeks later I ran myself out of gas and had to use the can....see, good purchase, I told myself.

Shortly afterwards my roommate bought a lawn mower and, as she had no gas can, I offered mine as a temporary fix....that wound up being not so temporary. No biggie really since gas cans are cheap...but I always forgot to grab a new one whenever I was at the store.

A few weeks ago I was heading off to work, when I noticed my poor gas can mostly buried in the snow. I pulled it out, wiped if off and decided to just put it in the trunk of my car...there was a little bit of gas in the bottom, but that didn't worry me any. Its not like we have any sort of outdoor storage units to have stuffed it into.

Over the next few days I started noticing a slight whiff of gas....wow, I thought...guess those things aren't as fume-proof as I thought....and kept on driving. (I should probably point out that I really do love the smell of gasoline....)

Well this morning I opened the door and you'd swear fumes were literally streaming out of the car. What the heck? I thought (okay, it may have been a little more strongly phrased than that) I opened the trunk of my car and found the gas can lying on its side...and that no one had screwed the reversible funnel back under the cap....instead it has been left sitting loose, and I had failed to notice when I stuck it in my car.

Luckily I have a bag of cat litter in the trunk of my car, so I opened it and sprinkled it liberally on the affected area. I also have my sunroof open and my windows cracked to help let out some of the smell.....it was a cold ride into work this morning.....lets just say, good things are often better in smaller packages!

Biggest bummer? We haven't seen snow in a few weeks and I just looked out the window to see a serious amount of snow starting to swirl down from the sky.....

Guess I should go roll up the windows....and hope the litter works!

I Want To Live Here

Okay, maybe not literally since there are a few things I would definately change...but to rent it out for a vacation would be a blast. Someday I would love to let go and have fun like this in a few rooms. Of course some of the rooms are so funky that guests may not get the most restful of sleep! Trust me, if fun and funky is your style then its worth it to scroll through all of the images....but I'll toss a few favorites in here to whet your appetites.

Loverly plum walls and a funky "moss" shag throw rug....I would definately get a different style of bed though, that whole Marie Antoinette/Regency style just isn't for me.

More of that plum color.

A tad minimalist but I love the color combinations. This is a bathroom made for soaking and relaxing after a hard day's work.

Plum again....I am really responding to this color for some reason! I have always wanted a chaise lounge....one day I will finally have room for one. I like the slight outdoorsy feel you get with this....its almost like Narnian where you're in the woods yet they brought the Royal Furniture outdoors.

Long view....such a wonderful use of color and space. Very soothing.

I couldn't resist adding this one. I love the funky geometric paint job around the front door and the fake pampas grass "growing" on the ledge.

Observation

Man enters home to spray insulation....insulation to make the girl's home warm.

The man uses a large hose that blocks the door open for nearly an hour DURING THE WINTER...girl freezes long before she can benefit from insulating warmth.

Its funny how something intended to help can hurt you.....I really don't want to see the roomie's utility bill next month!
