my office

i wanted to do the link up with kelly's korner to show my office. except my office at home is an embarrassing hoarders room full of furniture that i need to fix up, stacks of books, and tons of film. so this is my office at work!

wild wednesday : the pup monster

this is my pit bull/hound mix aphrodite. sharing her beautiful mug with you guys today for janae's wild wednesday link up party. don't let her looks decieve you here... she is really insane and always bouncing off of the wall [even right this second]. these photos were just taken one morning when she had just woken up and managed to still be in a lazy mood.

my kitchen

so my good friend janae from somewhatcouture has shown me the light and told me that i need to start partying with her again... except link parties this time instead of drinking and dancing to boogieburg. so here goes, linking up on here to kelly's korner kitchen link party.

i love my baby boy, he's 5 months old today

felix mendelssohn and his bust

a few months ago janae of somewhatcouture and i went to the ymca thrift store to search for hidden treasures. you know that feeling when you see something that is completely unnecessary yet you know for a fact that your life would not be complete until you acquire it? that's exactly how i felt about this bust of composer felix mendelssohn. at a steep $5.98 it was the only purchase that i made that day.

my original plan was to clean him up and paint him hot pink. my boyfriend talked me out of it, but i still feel like it would be a fun way to make him stand out a bit more. here's his before shot [the after shot is of course the one above]:

what do you think should he be rendered a different color? neon pink... metallic blue... just fine the way he is?

by the way felix mendelssohn wrote the wedding march which i did not know until i went home and did a little google search for him. i originally thought he might have been some kind of civil war creeper with those chops!
