Tan is the new black!



Personally I believe that there is nothing more beautiful and elegant than nude and brown clothing.

Sooo in love!

I think I have found my dream ring.
I am telling my husband tonight that I found my wedding ring.
I am currently wearing a siple gold band...but now....I want this!
It is a Rose cut grey diamond and it is a mere $400. I found
it on Etsy.com. It has such a simple and earthy quality it is just exquisit to me. I know most women reading this must think I am completely out of my mind for not wanting a big shiny diamond, but I am a simple girl who doesn't wear any flashy jewelry so it is simply perfect.

Vintage Photography

I found this picture when I was digging through boxes. It is of my Mom, Grandma, and my older brother. I love this picture it is just so perfect it screams L.L. Bean Family!

Fall Boards

Some beautiful clothes from ModCloth.com

Owl Spot

I want! I want! I want! I want!!
This may sound like the rant of a child but i looove these earrings. Something so quirky about them! ModCloth.com never fails me. Only $12 and they can be mine...maybe if I have some leftover grocery money I will add them to my jewelry collection.

A new baby boom!

I swear every day someone I know either announces a pregnancy or has a baby! What is in the water now and where can I get some of it?! Mr. Wonderful and I have been trying to have a baby for over 2 years now. We miscarried back in 2007 and have been praying for the best every since then. My fertility struggles are my own and I won't bore people with them, but, in a small part of my heart I hurt and am jealous of my friends and family who have been blessed with their own little miracles. I am happy for all of them, whole heartedly but I just wish I could join in the party.

Fresh Starts in Marriage



So my husband and I talked things out for a few hours last night and there was an easy decision to make... either we file the divorce papers and go our separate ways in life or we take the fact that we love each other enough to stay together and start over. I am happy to say that we decided to stay together and make things work. Marriage isn't as simple as I once imagined it would be ,but, maybe that is part of it. We are learning from every stupid fight and we are growing from it. I love him and I don't want to imagine my life without him .

My dream apartment!



So I was on Craigslist and I came across this apartment that is up for a rent for a VERY reasonable price. It has such an artsy and urban feel to it. I am in LOOOVE I would do anything to pack up everything I own, load the dogs in the car and make my way up to Columbus, Ohio.

Blogging with the Blues...

Not a great day today. Lots of fighting and possibly the end
to my marriage. To keep myself distracted I have decided to look at things
that I want in the future. From a home to a job to a family, the boards
I will be posting tonight are my hopes and dreams and I hope that
people are inspired to take the initiative to create boards like
this to lift them up when things hit rock bottom.

Motivation Factor


So, aside from my personal blog here I also have a weight loss blog on SparkPeople.com. It is a wonderful free weight loss site. The site members are a wonderful group of encouraging and motivating people One of the steps for losing weight is creating boards that are motivating and encouraging to you visually. I wanted to post my fashion board...it consists mainly of clothing from ModCloth.com. I cannot wait to fit into these clothes!!!

Computer of my dreams

Simply Stunning.
I found this on a Steampunk website ,called Steampunk Workshop, earlier today and I just had to share it.
For those of you who do not know what steampunk is here is a quick definition for you compliments of Urbandictionary.com

Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic
Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by
the slogan "What the past would look like if the futute had happened sooner." It
includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes.

I want, like yesterday.


2010 Red Carpet

All I can say to this picture is WOW!
I now have a new motivation picture to take with me to the gym.
Claire Danes looks absolutly fabulous.

Potterybarn Perfect

I swear the people at the Pottery Barn have crawled up into my brain and extracted my dream home. The problem is that they charge so much that it is more like being taunted all the time because their stuff is far to expensive for my beer budget. But, I guess there is always the challenge of "lets see if i can do the same thing...only cheaper."

Art investments....


Finally some color pop in this house. I have owned this house for 5 years now and I finally made the investment in some art. I saw a set of colorful frameless paintings and just couldn't get them out of my mind. So finally after 3 weeks of thinking about them I went back to the store and they were still there and they were on clearance! So, I figured it was meant to be. They go perfectly with my living room furniture and they bring the perfect color pop to the room.

My dream car...


Neiman Marcus has done it again! They have taken something out of a delicious dream and made it into a ridiculous reality, it is so ridiculous in fact that I would buy one! I can just imagine pulling up next to my neighbors new BMW in this baby.
If you are wondering what I am talking about it is the amazing Customized Cupcake Car....it
comes with a minor price tag of $25,000.

Who doesn't love the word Quiche?

Quiche [keesh] -noun

a pielike dish consisting of an unsweetened pastry shell filled with a custard and usually containing cheese and other ingredients, such as vegetables, seafood, or ham.

Lunch Today: Spinach, Mushroom, Ham and Cheese Quiche. Not bad for a pie crust full of random things from my fridge. It was so pretty when it came out of the oven I just had to take a picture.

To Breathe or not to Breathe

So today I went to the pulmonologist (lung Doctor) to find out the status of my pneumonia. The good news is that my pneumonia is starting to break up in my lungs, the bad new is that I have done a pretty good amount of damage to my lungs by smoking as much as I have over the past 10 years. Well, after 3 weeks of being unable to breathe I have made the quick and now seemingly easy decision not to smoke. So far I have been 3 weeks without smoking because of being sick so I am hitting the ground with a one up. So right now the game is on and I am up 3 zip.
