Drip drip drip...

With a huge amount of determination, we're going to attempt to
actually keep some plants alive in the middle of the summer while
we're on vacation.

I piggy backed off of the mister line run, but put seperate valves on
them so we could keep the pups cool all day without drowning the plants.

Wish us luck!

Key West Hamock Chair

A present from my parents. Man does our patio feel luxurious now.

I think we'll finally beat the heat.

Set this up this morning. Experimented with it last year on top of a
fan. This year it's something more permanent.

Long time no update. Been busy!

It's almost done I swear. Just have to reseal the ends, permanently
wire the power, and install the decorative boots.

Summertime means new hair

Got a hair cut today, going back to a short style. I took in some
pics of Mandy Moore's hair from the movie How to Deal. I also got a
dab of color today with some kind of honey-blonde highlights here and
there underneath the brown. It's the first time I've ever colored my
hair. :-)

Concert on the Lakes

I played bachelor last night and went out to the Concert on the Lakes series out at the harbor. It was a gorgeous night filled with Beetles music.

3 Up, 23 to Go

Fence replacement now under way!

Adirondack Chair

My friend Aaron Hamilton just finished our Adirondack chair and sitting on the arm is a wine bottle stopper he also made that will one day turn into a Christmas present (assuming I don't just fall in love with it first).

Fish Tank!

11 creatures and I think we're finally full up.

Here's to you - Slash, Fido, The Donald, Sunshine, Bob, Jaspreet (the frog), Ashley (the snail), Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, Moonlight, and Larry!

New Camera

So I decided to get a new camera at the same time as our friend Jaspreet. Been shooting non-stop with it when I have time. It's a blast.

Check out some of the photos on flickr!

Alabama Humidity

Sadie got a little hot yesterday. Our little mountain goat.

Stained Glass is Up!

Just in time for Lauren's Supper Club I got the stained glass up on the wall. The bedroom is almost complete now. Just need a table for the TV and our vinyl decal.

Bedroom redo almost complete!

The paint job is done! New bedding and lamps. Now we just need to
add our wall art: the stained glass window, some vinyl wall art we got
on Etsy, and other yet to be determined pieces. I will also need to
get some kind of small table for my TV since we rearranged the
furniture.

Beach guest room paint almost complete

I've been painting in the "beach room" and so far, so good. It's a
barely yellow color called "golden fleece". You can already see the
difference in how bright and open it feels compared to that tan color.

Getting started with the painting!

David, Jon, Ryan and I are painting a few rooms today! Just started
on our bedroom.

St. Patty's Day Par-tay

On our way to the party at Chris Horne's house. David wanted to put
the lederhosen that were his grandfather's to good use... So he's
David the Leprechaun. "All y'all seen the leprechaun, say YEAH!!!"

Supa-sta!

Well, it's been a while since David or I have posted, so I thought I'd make an update.

I helped host the pledge drive on KERA (our local PBS station) last week during "Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey." (Pic at right, in front of the call bank) This is my third time hosting, my second during a live show, and I really enjoy it. Basically, you just read off a teleprompter, trying to coerce people into calling in and becoming members of KERA. It's a lot of fun, though, and you get to meet a lot of interesting people.

In other news, I had my audition for "Kiss Me, Kate" at Rockwall Community Playhouse on Saturday, then was called back to read for the part I wanted on Sunday. Unfortunately, though, I was not cast...I was offered a part in the chorus and decided to decline, mostly because David misses me too much during all the rehearsals required by RCP shows, and a chorus part wasn't worth it for the time away from him.

I do have plans to audition for a few other things in the near future, and will keep you posted.

Ice!

It's been quite icy in DFW the past couple of days. Luckily, it's
supposed to warm up again this weekend...crazy Texas weather.
