Lazy.Cold.Rainy.Days.Off

Personal • Oct 31, 2012

I have to admit that there is nothing I love more than a rainy day off. Is that weird? Everybody seems to think that i’m crazy, haha. I just feel like I get SO much more done because i’m forced to stay inside and actually get things done!

I’ve got a GREAT new WordPress layout in the works thanks to the ever-talented works of CRAZY CORDY DESIGNS. No planned completion date and beyond that i’m not sure when exactly I will implement the new design into the site. I still really like the current design but i’m feeling as if its a bit to basic for what i’m wanting right now.

I decided re-add the BLOGROLL link on the left side of the screen. I removed it awhile ago and decided that it was time to put it back. I do visit a lot of blogs on a regular basis and I think that it’s a great way to get the names out of other great sites. It’s all about networking!

On a completely different note i’ve just begun watching Desperate Housewives. Where the heck have I been??!! I have never seen a single episode since its debut. I’m slowly moving through Season 1. I think it will be a great new show to catch up on (well, watch) through the snowy winter months. Last year my obsession was GOSSIP GIRL. This current, and final, season i’m finally able to watch and actually be completely caught up on what is going on!

OH! Forgot to mention the candle in the photo. Its a newer candle from Bath & Body Works. It’s called Sandalwood Vanilla. I’m a big fan of vanilla candles and thought that this would be something a little different as well as a bit fall. The scent is good but I don’t know that its something i’d ever purchase again. Its one of those candles that has a great smell the next day, long after its done burning.

REVIEW: SINISTER

Reviews • Oct 23, 2012

Stars: Ethan Hawke, Juliet Rylance
Genre: Horror, Mystery
Rating: R
Overall Rating: ♣ ♣ ♣ 

Found footage helps a true-crime author realize how and why a family was murdered in his new home, though his discoveries put his entire family in the path of a supernatural entity.

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this movie as much as I actually did. I’m not a big horror movie fan but this time of year I just can’t help but indulge myself in a good horror flick (or two). I had seen previous for this and though that it looked like it might be something a little different then the horribly cheesy movies that come out around this time of year.

The plot to the movie is interesting, VERY interesting. I’m realizing that as i’m typing this there really isn’t much that I can say without giving away the movie. So please, be prepared, there may be an accidental spoiler leak so please proceed with caution.

The story is about a one-hit-wonder true crime author that moves to a small town. The key thing is that the town is home to a brutal crime and a missing child. Not only does the man move his family to this small town be he moves them right into the house where the crime happened. The story unfolds as unusual things begin to happen to the family within the home. The story continues to evolve as the family deals with the house changing as well. I know.. sounds weird. Thats the point!

The author ends up unravelling more and more gut wrenching details about the crimes he came to write about as the story goes on and slowly he becomes lost in his own nightmare. The ending to this movie is great. It really ties everything together better than most. You are in no way left hanging. I rate this a 3 and a definite must see! CAUTION: nightmares are to be expected!

Welcome Fall!

Random , Uncategorized • Oct 20, 2012

Germany was absolutely beautiful! I’m so bad with blogging and just realized that I haven’t gotten on to share some of the trip (and welcome fall!).

Brandenburg Gate
Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, Germany

That was one of our first big sites in Germany that we saw. Berlin was the history hotspot of the country for sure. We spent the first 3 days of our 2 week trip in Berlin and the history sites were amazing. The access to everything via taxi’s, subway, railroads, etc made the whole country completely accessible as well. The architecture all over the country was absolutely amazing as well. So different then what it is around the states.


German Architecture

I have to admit that the majority of the trip seems like a bit of a blur! And no.. i’m not saying that it was a blur because of all the Octoberfest Beer (lol). We were continuously on the move so it felt like we were just going, going, and going! There were a few cities that I don’t feel as if we really got to know enough because we were to busy trying to get photos to be able to say that we were there! I’m okay with that though. Sometimes you just have to do that, lol. You can always go back in the future

So i’m realizing with the transition from Bath and Body Works fall candles to winter candles that Fall is officialy upon us! I can always tell the season that i’m in based on what B&BW is selling in the stores. Seems a bit crazy.. but hey.. it is what it is. I enjoy my candles!
