New Sofas, Shiny Mixers and Decorating Bliss

Well, finally...We went to the furniture store and picked out a new sofa. Soft leather, rivets and beautiful rich wood, that is what my new sofa is all about. Just the idea of my husband sitting on a rich leather sofa watching football is enough to bring me joy and bring a little tear to my eye.

The house is starting to come together.

The breakfast corner is done, complete with baskets filled with breakfast goodies, toaster in the corner, and juice glasses in the cabinet above.

I finished cleaning up my mixer. Now I am a wonderful (according to my husband) baker. I love to bake. Pies, cakes, cookies, I definitely have my grandmother's touch when it comes to baking. I never can keep the cookie jar filled very long with my husband running around. Plus, at the end of the month, I've got company coming, that means that I'm going to have to triple my recipies to make enough for everyone and have it last more than a day. But after all of my work, my mixer tends to get a little bit messy, so I took it all apart and cleaned the thing from top to bottom. It sparkled at me. I couldn't be happier.

We also picked up a new vacuum. OMG...what a difference! My floors, they are so pretty!!! YAY! Now if only Las Vegas had proper recycling for old household appliances, I'd be thrilled beyond belief! Our old vacuum had seen better days, I was just hoping that we could find a vacuum old age home that would be great for it. But alas, these folks are not very environmentally concious.

Going through boxes, I found a treasure trove of decorating materials...wall sconces, picture frames, knicknacks, goodies, oh man, I'm just having to put them in one spot for right now until after everything else gets done. It will be a matter of picking and choosing what I want to go up onto the walls and the rest will go to Goodwill because after I'm done, I won't have room for all of the other stuff.

One last shopping trip will wrap everything up though...I need new pillows to go on the sofa and votive and pillar candles for the candleholders.

My husband is happy, my house is starting to look great.

REAL life couldn't be better.

Ahnonay and the Big Picture

Image
In Uru, we have an Age called Ahnonay. When you begin the journey into this Age, you are met with a "Cathedral". You walk through the grand stone door and down a hallway of pictograms... As you link through, you go to a "watery" Ahnonay... After "watery" Ahnonay, you link through to a version of Ahnonay that is supposedly time shifted. There is thunder and lighting, mist swirls around in every crack and crevasse. Then, as you link through again, you find yourself in "Space" Ahnonay... Even again, as you link, you find another "Unfinished" Ahnonay... I remember when I first attempted the puzzle in Ahnonay. LOL...I can remember it so wonderfully, the scenery was breathtaking, the music divine...but it was like a sadistic gym coach came up with it, because the biggest thing I remember from it was, "Link, take a lap, Link, take a lap, link, take a lap". Every time you would link through the book in Ahnonay, it would take you ...

The Wait is over.

Yep, the wait is over. It seems I do not have what it takes to go the distance. I got the news. I came in 3rd. Now 3rd place out of 12 people isn't bad. The disappointing part of it all is my prize is a useless to me PSP. So, Ryan, bud, you got yourself a new toy courtesy of the There Fashion Challenge. The one thing that this contest really did for me was crystalize what was important to me. After seeing I got third place, and understanding that I will never be accepted as an artist by my virtual peers just made me realize that it's time I traded my virtual life in for a real one. Real life...OMG, I haven't done that in close to 3 years, wonder what it's like? LOL. Before I moved to Montreal, my real life wasn't bad. Actually, it wasn't bad at all. I never waited in line at nightclubs, I could get a table at Spago without a reservation, all my friends were rich, beautiful and a lot of fun. They were very superficial, but hey, that's Vegas for you...

Ya know, I shouldn't be so hard on people.

I was just reading back over my posts for the last several months. I am just NOT kind to some folks. However, I will not apologize for a single word I've put in my blog because this is my vent space and a way to make sure I don't lose details about certain moments in my life. But sitting back and reading over my old entries, it made me sit back and wonder why I am so hard on people. Now, I know that some people have got the worms, there is always something eating them. I try my best not to be like that. But, there are some things that do irk me to no end, stupidity, injustice, lack of common sense, seeing bad people having good things happen to them while the good people are getting screwed. I guess it's the state of things in the world right now. I mean, George W. Bonehead, just now partially accepted that global warming is real. He kills children to line his own pockets. He forces people to fight wars that shouldn't exist and have no basis in fact. He blatantly...
