Kentucky Fried Hot Rod


Here's a pic of someone's sweet ride. These are all over here, and I don't quite know why. Brandon loves them for some reason, and fantasizes about lifting his 1996 Buick Park Avenue and sticking some huge tires under it.

New name?

I realized that I have had a Bloggy Renaissance lately, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I miss writing. Maybe I have stuff to write about these days with this house, rather than just bitching about the daily grind. I like to have a place to put all my pictures and stories too, like a proud mama. Maybe it's because the "transition" is finally coming to a close, and I have a real life back after traveling, living in four different states, school, marriage, house, career, etc. This morning before it warmed up enough to paint, I spent a couple hours going back to 2006 and reading my bloggy. Woah. This blog was very different then, and I kind of liked it. In '06, I was struggling, and searching for something. Mostly money. I did a lot of philosophizing, and ranting. Man, those next couple years were stressful. It's funny though... all the things I wished for have come true, and I have emerged a different person. My blog has changed too. I think is has become kind o...

Sad little wall.

I thought I was done with interior design for a while. I like how everything looks and feels in the house. Eclectic, collected, sentimental, and MINE. But, recently two people poo-pooed my lion wall. This makes me think they don't know a thing. Or, is my lion wall not as great as I think? The wall in question. This wall is in the living room; a tiny, open, 15x20 room squished next to the kitchen that functions as family room, den, living room, and office. The left (in photo) side is flanked by the bar, with two stools. It has the world's frumpiest couch (but very, very comfy), and two chairs. On the right is a picture window. The couch faces the TV. I have struggled with this wall several times. Should it be an accent wall? House a large piece of art? If so, what? I've tried to make several montages of family photos, found things, and it always comes out mish-mashed. Until I found the lion. She came from an antique store in Reno, and was living on the tallest part of...

Nursing School

So, screw Portland. I got accepted into a nursing program in Kentucky last week. It's a 12-month Bachelor's program. No muss, no fuss. Just come in May 2008, and start. A year later, I'll have a bachelor's degree in nursing, and be ready to take the test to get my Registered nursing license. What a relief! Kentucky is far away, yes. And I don't know anything about it. And my boyfriend doesn't like the idea of Kentucky either. But, after seeing what goes on with the 800 people who apply to nursing schools here, I am more than happy to move myself for 12 short months. Everyone else can stay here and try for 3 years in a row to get into school. They can have their nerve-wracking admission interviews, they can be placed on extensive alternate lists-- just in case someone drops out-- and live their lives with their fingers crossed that they just might be the lucky #24 out of 800. Then they can have their 2 year programs, and their 4 year programs and their dumb old g...
