Seeing stars...

6:20 PM Monday, September 29, 2008

I love stars! My living room is decorated in stars (not to be confused with America, which it is NOT).

Here are a few quilts I've made that adorn my living room:

Buggy Barn Star quilt:

Oh My Stars quilt (currently on the wall):

Big Star (almost finished and will be on the wall):


Scrapbooking Fool

10:35 AM Sunday, September 28, 2008

A few weeks ago I asked Ryan if he wanted to have another kid. His response, "If you get caught up with your scrapbooking, we can have another one."

Lately, I've been a scrapbooking fool. The funny thing is, I really don't think I want another one. Maybe subconsciously I do. Maybe I'm just in denial...

Either way, I refuse to go through fertility treatments again. Can you say nightmare? Seriously. I even wanted to divorce me... but, what if it happened on its own? Without fertility assistance? Would I be willing? I guess it's something I really should consider. And maybe, just maybe, one is enough for me. I kind of like her. A lot.



Live United Commercial

7:42 PM Thursday, September 18, 2008

The thing is, I'm in a commercial for United Way. It starts airing next week on local and cable channels in the Utah Market.

Here is the 30 second and 15 second versions. Enjoy!
Also, I've been told that I will be on a bus billboard in the Salt Lake area... so keep your eyes peeled.

Marital Bliss

Ryan and I celebrated five years of marital bliss, yesterday.

I can't believe how much I adore him, even more and more every day...

*sigh*

Happy Coincidence

12:41 PM Saturday, September 6, 2008

I tend to frequent the library every few weeks and adorn myself with a half a dozen books that catch my attention. Lately, my obsession has been vampire novels. The last time I checked some books out, I found one called 'Dead Until Dark' by Charlaine Harris and I ended up reading it last out of this group.

After reading the first chapter, I set it down and looked to the television just as the preview for 'True Blood' came on HBO. Instantly, I felt deja vu. I was watching the preview of the first chapter I had just read. Weird. I hadn't seen the entire preview for the new series, but had heard about it and had even set the DVR to record the first episode, which airs tomorrow.

I finished the book this afternoon and now I'm super anxious to see the first episode. I looked up the author and realized there are seven more books in the series, which Ryan has reserved for me.

I am always fascinated by coincidences... and this was a happy one.
