Let's catch Up...

This may very well be a long post. I finally got around to taking a FEW pics of the scenery here. We were driving through the middle of town where I caught some of the most beautiful views..The trees here are INCREDIBLE-for lack of a better word! The trees you see below-imagine them in just about every color-seriously..They are all flowering trees...I just want to pick them all...Jeez..

A few weekends ago, we drove through Delaware to get to the Atlantic coast.Once again-the drive was BEAUTIFUL..

We then took the ferry from Delaware to New Jersey-thru Atlantic City..just to gamble a few bucks..i freakin WON...i got skills..

Oh and PS-this is where i fell in love with Dramamine...and indulged in some crown...great combo-right??
And here i am with my cool ass hat and rad necklace...compliments of tiff...
And this is when i discovered my fear of heights...TERRIFIED i tell you...I'm amaWhich pretty much sucks b\c these are the moments i LOVE the most...Jeremy SWEARS he'll break me of that...WE'LL SEE..hope he's right.
We camped here last weekend..Met some nice people, and enjoyed the (finally) perfect weather.
She make's my heart sing...She took her top off....I love it..
The very next day, we drove down to another place a few hours away in the Pocomo Mountains..I swear it reminded me of Arkansas...Alli could say...was "oh my god, look how beautiful.." I swear my voacabulary is shrinking as the years pass by...
I really have found the man of my dreams....

And we really are in paradise..
And all i can say to the above picture is "What's really goin' on..??!!" What's really goin on in this world to have to chain a bench to a pole!!!! Seriously people!
And these are theeeeee mountains i mentioned above...

And this is the beautiful park we found, full of waterfalls...It's like nothing I've ever seen..What really gets me is that these views are EVERYWHERE..I cannot fathom soooo much beauty in one place....

In all of the exploration... you know i found time for CLOTHES...and cooking...2 of my favorite things...This some pan seared chicken and asparagus i made with a white wine sauce ..MMmmmm
And this necklace was only 2 bucks...i LOVE IT

This shirt is more of a peacock blue-my camera SUCKS..
The red shirt is burnt red and the other one is more of a cream color-maybe a taupe??

Found this shirt, and had to have it...
Made this layout on a whim....with scrappies..it's not complete-go figure..
This is going to be for my mom-for Mother's day...
And really that's all I've got....Til next time...

SIMPLY BECAUSE

FYI:
2 important things in my life..
1. i got accepted into the nursing program (for LPN) in Rochester, Ny! Freakin sweet! ...and so the panic begins..
2. I've been so caught up in exploring and embracing the change i forgot all about my success in quitting smoking..It's been 63 days! I really never thought it'd be possible.. And yesterday-i might've killed for one! but it slowly gets better..and i feel great. Just thought I'd tell the world..

Indie is.......

8. What does indie mean to you?
"To me, it means independent, your vision, your efforts, your sweat. It's originality, commitment to handmade and well made, and it's especially an awesome 'movement' that I'm so thrilled to be a part of. Indie can be a group of people; I just mean its independent from corporation." -LA


i got this from a fabulous friend's blog: www.freckled nest.blogspot.com
She said it right on..and it's been a word that has always inspired me..So i wanted to write it down, and remember it..and appreciate it...and absorb it..

BRAIN PAINS..

For the record, that is....i've got one...and it's causing me to squint...Im-a keep on keepin' on..in hopes this damn thing will go away...

I finally got around to taking a few pics of some of the things in my life, that you haven't been a part of(Tiff)...So here i am sharing...and missing you...So let's just pretend you were there the whole time...
here's a pic of Chloe...One of the VERY FEW she'll actually sit still for...

Here are the gerbera Daisies on my kitchen table-and the really super cool vase i got for 5 bucks...

Here is the forsinthia(is that the right name???) i picked that grows like weeds out here..LOVE THAT.

This is my proof that i **might actually have a green thumb!



These are the clothes i've bought and loved...I really love the ORANGE...which i never would've worn before..



And lastly, my recipe book..I got it from ETSY...LOVE her work...Her name is BETHBEE and she's fabulous..She's got some really cool address books I'm interested in as well...


And you may have noticed that there aren't pics of the pink shirt that i ranted about-that's because...go figure..i decided it wasn't as great once i got home and tried it on again...Quite disappointing actually-especially since...i actually considered wearing pink for the first time EVER...we'll save it for another day....

Lastly...here is some art i did...A card and an ATC.



HAVE A NICE DAY!
