Sometimes I try to cheer myself up by wearing my most favorite shoes. Sometimes it works.

So, I've come to the conclusion that I am a bit Hoard-y. I'm sure this comes as no surprise to many people I know. I've been trying to clean stuff out of the basement for months and I'm having a really hard time with getting rid of stuff. I get sentimental or I feel bad because someone gave me something or I think that I'm going to need it some day. Also I keep thinking that I could sell some of it. I have lots of collectible stuff and I just know that if I had the time I could make some money back from it- but will I do it? If I didn't have to look through it all it I almost think it would be easier- just box it up and forget I ever had it all! Anyway I'm working on it and working on my reasons for needing it all.
The three little bird houses in the picture are a good example - did I need to buy them? Sure, they were 90% off after Christmas and they are really cute, but did I need them? Did I need three????

More pictures of Spring blossoms! I don't think it's possible for me to be more excited about flowers and green grass. Also look at that sky! Blue skies like this are not found everywhere!

We thought the new coffee table needed a rug under it so I found this one on Overstock.com. I love all the colors in it and it really has a cool texture. The "shags" are really about the size of your finger! I LOVE my new rug!

So delicious.

Sometimes I get sad when I see the things that people bring in to sell us. This is a beautiful child's dinner set in sterling silver. I love the graphics on it. They just don't make things like this anymore! It has lots of dents on it, probably from a baby banging it on the table. I don't know if I will be able to sell it because of this, but I will try.

Tonight was the Walking Dead season finale so to celebrate we made Zombies to drink! Pretty tasty but I have to admit I had to add more fruit juice to mine as it was just too strong. Here's how to make:
Zombie
- 1/2 ounce white rum
- 1 1/2 ounces golden rum
- 1 ounce dark rum
- 1/2 ounce 151-proof rum
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 teaspoon pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon papaya juice
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
Glass Type: Collins glass
Instructions
Stir together all these ingredients (the juice in the recipe is what mixologist David Embury calls the "mystery ingredient"; it can be pineapple juice, passion fruit nectar, coconut milk, apricot, or cherry brandy -- just about anything this side of Romilar) except the 151 and pour into a 14-ounce glass three-fourths full of cracked ice. Float the 151 as a lid (by pouring it into a spoon and gently dipping it under the surface of the drink). Then, if the spirit moves you, take a match to this mixture; it will burn. Garnish with mint (either straight or dipped in lime juice and then superfine sugar) and/or fruit. (A particularly fetching touch: On a toothpick, impale a lemon slice or pineapple cube between two maraschino cherries and lay this fruit kabob atop of the drink). Supply a straw and, after two, a hammock. After three: a stretcher.

I'm really not one for cooking - in fact I hate it! But, I love good food so tonight I made Potato Gnocchi with Roasted Vegetables. Pretty tasty, if I do say so myself!

I just got my new record in the mail today! Lucero - Women & Work! I have not bought a brand new record in probably over 20 years. I will be hooking up my record player tomorrow!

My newest addition to my light collection! I got these festive shamrock lights at the Arc for 1.99 a box. I found two sets but I'm only using one. Carl was not pleased but after I put them up he now thinks they are quite festive.

Fun political spinner I found at work today in my huge box of exonumia that I had to sort. I'm sure you can figure out what happens to the elephant and donkey when you spin it! Kinda hilarious.

It was a gorgeous day today. This is the view from the corner right by my work- sometimes it amazes me that Pikes Peak is right there- so pretty!

I know that it's probably bad but Maxx has only had 3 baths in his life! He's generally seems to be sweet smelling and self cleaning. We thought he needed a bath though, so today I coaxed him into a bath with treats and we suds him up. He was not happy! But after he got out of the bath and we dried him off a bit he zoomed around the house in excitement. Now he's clean and fresh.

I worked a long day today, 9:30 to 7:00 so not much else happened on this fine Saturday. I was too tired to go out so we ordered in Chinese food and I got the most cliched dish ever - Sweet and Sour Chicken. Not my usual, but sometimes you just want nuggets of breaded chicken with neon red sauce!

I went for a haircut and Awapuhi Keratin Triplex treatment at the Paul Mitchell school. My hair is so soft! I don't think it has ever been this straight before either. A little too straight- my face looks too big to me! Anyway, she did a good job.51, 23.
