Oh wow, I'm a sucky blogger.

I haven't updated this thing since July 2011. That's really, really bad.

I do have a good excuse though. I started a job in Seattle and that took up a lot of my time. I had to commute for TWO hours a day (roundtrip) every day. By the time I get home from work, I'm exhausted, it's already 5:30pm and all I want to do is relax, watch TV or read a book. The only thing I have time to update in the past 6 months is my Facebook.

Anyway, about a week ago, I switched jobs. I still work for the same company but in a different location and the location is about a 15 minute drive from our house. And I think I finally have enough time to go back to my old hobbies, photography and blogging.

Well, this is it for now. I'm going to start taking and posting pictures again. I'm also thinking about posting some stuff about fashion but we'll see about that. I'm trying to stop buying so much crap and just mix and match the stuff I already have and maybe I'll post pictures of the combinations I come up with. We'll see though.

Thank you so much for reading. Let's all have a GREAT year this year!

Fun in Brinnon, WA

We spent the entire day at Brinnon, WA yesterday and we had a blast!

It's a very lovely and sleepy town. It's about a two-hour drive away from where we live but it was worth the drive. My husband's uncle and aunt owns a house along the banks of Hood Canal.

And of course, I took some pictures. They look really cool in black and white too but I'm posting the colored ones for now.

Out and About in Tacoma (B&W)

Taken outside the Tacoma Union Station/Washington State History Museum.


Yup, there was a camel right outside the museum in honor of a featured exhibit titled "Wrapped!: The Search for the Essential Mummy.".


Taken outside a cupcake shop called "Hello Cupcake.". We bought red velvet, pink champagne and strawberry cupcakes and ate them while taking pictures. They were soooo good that we didn't even get the chance to take pictures of them. Maybe next time.


Taken inside The Swiss Pub while my husband was having a glass of beer.


Well folks, that's all for now. Thank you so much for reading and looking!

Operation Redecoration: Living Room (Part Three)

Oh man, when is it going to end? Yup, I'm not done with the living room yet and now that I started working, who the hell knows if I'll ever finish this room.

I bet by the time I finished the entire redecorating process, it will be time to move. Ha ha.

Thing to figure out:

1) What type of wall art or whatever to put up on the gray wall behind the couch.
2) Where to put my husband's paintings of the cats (Yeah, he painted Sophie and Cali, our old cat).
3) Wait, there is a #3 but I forgot. Way too much stuff on my mind right now. Dammit.

Anyway, the fireplace is DONE and here are the before and after pictures!

BEFORE:
It looks pretty boring and lame and I have no idea WTF were we thinking when we put up the mirrors.

AFTER:
Painted the wall but not all the way and spruced up the boring black mirrors.

I'm currently working on the area where the TV is. Right now, the TV is in between two black shelves (shown in the second picture). I'll post pictures as soon as it's done (if ever, ha ha).

Anyway, thanks for reading and have a great day!

Holy crap, this blog needs some updating!

I can't believe it's July already and the sun is already shining before the 4th of July! Usually, summer does not officially start until AFTER the 4th of July here in Washington state!

Anyway, I haven't been blogging lately because of work. I started on the 22nd of June and my schedule has been hectic since. Seriously, I felt like all I did was wake up, go to work, get off work, prepare my husband and I's lunch for the next day, play with the cats, and go to bed.

And yup, the same shizz again the next day. The first week was total hell but I think I'm getting used to it already.

I just hate that I don't have time to take pictures anymore. =(

Anyway, here's some new pictures of Hermione. She's growing and she's crazier than ever lately.


Well, that's all for now.

I'll post more pictures later. Thank you so much for reading and looking!

Operation Redecoration: Living Room (Part Two)

I painted the wall behind the red couches! It's dark gray now!

I used Valspar Drizzling Mist in satin sheen. I think it made the living room appear super-cozy and it doesn't look SUPER-BORING anymore. I am so sick and tired of staring at the white walls.

Here are the before and after pictures.

BEFORE: Boring white walls. *YAWN*

AFTER: New wall paint and the new pillows from Target!
One wall down, whoknowshowmanymore to go!

Hmmmmm, I swear it looks a lot darker in person.

I said "Part Two" in the title because we haven't decided on what kind of wall art we're going to put up on the wall behind the couch. Technically, it's not quite finished yet. I'm pretty sure there's going to be at least two more parts to this because I still need to work on the fireplace area and the other side of the living room where the TV is located. We're planning on putting two tall black bookshelves on each side of the TV.

I can't figure out what to do with the fireplace area yet. It's another boring and yawn-inducing area. We'll see how everything goes, I guess.

Anyway, I really want to kick myself for starting late on the condo redecorating projects I have in mind but at the same time, I thought we were moving out so I didn't do anything. Now, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do much anymore because I start on my new job next Monday! I'm kinda freaked out!

Anyway, this is it for now. I have some pictures to upload and I'll get on that as soon as I can. Thanks for reading!

Hottie of the Week: Torrance Coombs

Okay, more like the "Hottie of the Month".

I haven't done one of these "celebrity crush" posts for awhile. I just finished watching all the seasons of "The Tudors" and spent a lot of time swooning and sighing over Henry Cavill (my god, he's one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen in my whole life!) while watching the episodes of the first, second and third season.

Then, I started watching the fourth season and OMG, I saw this guy, forgot about Henry Cavill for a second and nearly died (Okay, not really but you know what I mean.).

(Blah, I wish I took these pictures. He makes a beautiful subject!
Pictures courtesy of Google. )

He's really cute huh?

His name is Torrance Coombs. He played Thomas Culpepper (King Henry VIII's favorite groom who effed Katherine Howard).

Oh and he has a Twitter account where he talks about kittens all the time and pretty much tweeted a play-by-play of his cat giving birth to kittens.

Yeah, just check it out. Ha ha.
