Look through the window...
Who doesn't love old windows...as long as they aren't ON your house!! :)
I found some GREAT ideas for Windows over at Funky Junk Interiors!
These are two great mantle/decor ideas...
Even though I am not feeling the fabric choice, the window above the bed idea...could be a cool one if done right!

Vissy-tour.
I wandered over to my Google Analytics page this morning. What I found was so sad. Although I knew it deep down, I could see the counter on my blog slowly stop counting up.
Since May 24th...my visitor numbers have crashed!
I know it's cause I have been a super slacker blogger...but I am working on it. Can you see, I have already blogged twice today...this makes #3! :)
Check it...my numbers from April 1st, thru June 10th. Recently, it has been way under 100 visitors a day...back on April 12th and May 3rd I was up over 200+ visitors daily!
Boo.
Here are February 1st thru April 1st's numbers...about the same. I started tracking using Google Analytics on February 15th.
So. What can I do?
I did a poll, so I know what you want to see...more DIY & Home Improvement projects (but the budget has been on lock down as we are entering vacation season!), more pictures (which I am working on, especially seeing as how I am starting my own business, aePhotography) and more Police Stories (and just hearing the stories straight from the
Anything else you wanna see?
MTV Movie Awards
Yeah, I totally watched them. I'm a sucker. I know.
Let's see what we have...
Let's see what we have...
Shawn White - What in the World? That pretty girl on your arm didn't save you.
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgins - Ok...they are cute. I'm sorry.
Russell Brand - Freak. But he looks kinda snazzy minus the skinny pants...not a fan.
Scarlet Johanssen - She should have posed with her HOT HOT HOT husband, Ryan Reynolds that would have helped a smidge...to help our eyes adjust to the green nastiness.
Mark Wahlberg - He didn't even TRY to dress up...but that's ok. He's HOT.
Lindsay Lohan - Looks like she found some sequence-number to cover up her SCRAM bracelet...ehhh.
Katy Perry - I don't get it. But I do like the shoes.
Kristen Stewart - Just...say...No.
Jessica Beil - I think she looks lovely.
Eva Mendes - Nope. Not feelin' it.
Elizabeth Reaser - oh I like it...I do.
Christina Aquilera - It suits her...I like it.
The Rock - I have no other word than...HOT!!
Anna Kendrick - She looks 13 years old. Nope. Don't like it.
Who were your favs?

CMT Awards 2010
So...the CMT Awards...who looked great, and who bombed...
in my opinion of course!
Dave Haywood, Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley of 'Lady Antebellum' - They look great and sound great!! One of my new fav bands!
Who was your favorite??!
in my opinion of course!
Martina McBride - ehhhh...the dress really does nothing for me. It's pretty, but I feel like she could pull of classy and this is bordering on boring for me.
LeAnn Rimes - It looks like she just rolled out of bed and walked to the CMT's through her "back-to-the-80's" closet! No. No. No.
Cheryl Crow - Not bad...but is boring in this year?
Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy - SO STINKIN' ADORABLE! They are rumored to be dating, which I am totally game for! They would make beautiful babies!
Taylor Swift - SUCH a cutie. And I am lovin' that burgundy color against her skin...not to mention the new do! Straight looks GREAT on her!
The "Situation" and "Snooki" - Why are they even THERE?
Paula Dean and her Husband - Poor guy didn't even get his name mentioned in the caption...not even Mr. Dean. :) She certainly looked classy though!
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill - She looks just ehhh for me...like was her hair dresser off that day? But Tim...oh yummy...Tim is fine.
Julianne Hough - She looks so pretty! I think the color is stunning on her...but what's up with the leg?
Carrie Underwood - She is just beautiful. I love her in most anything...even this pink little get-up!!
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert - They are SO cute...although the disco dress she's sportin'...not so cute.
Dave Haywood, Hillary Scott and Charles Kelley of 'Lady Antebellum' - They look great and sound great!! One of my new fav bands!
Who was your favorite??!
"You have that glow about you..."
So yeah, I work with some really sweet people.
...and as that could be taken sarcastically, it's not. I actually do mean it in a good way...this time.
One of my co-workers walked in this morning, the convo went something like this...
Co-worker - "So, I have to ask you something, because I have noticed a difference in you lately."
Me - "Ohhhh-k, go for it."
Co-worker - "I have noticed a certain glow about you..."
Me - "Oh??"
Co-worker - "Yeah, like a glow people speak of when someone is, well you know...sooo...are you?"
Me - "Well, nope. I am not. *smile* We are and have been desperately trying, but no luck yet. We may be amping up the possibilities more soon, so maybe it's just a pre-glow...a glow of anticipation!"
Co-worker - "Oh, that must be it! Well then I hope it happens soon, so good luck...I figured I would ask."
It was actually a pretty cute conversation, especially seeing as how it was coming from a male co-worker...and I think that would be scary territory for most men. I certainly took no offense to it. At least he didn't point to my stomach and ask when I was due...that may have left the conversation a little less appealing in my memory!! :P
As far as the pregnancy subject goes...we may be getting close to trying some other options. We have done some soul searching and have decided to keep it as private a matter as possible, as opposed to times before where I felt like everyone knew what was going on and we kind of lost any chance of an element of surprise. So, just keep us in your prayers. We desperately want to be parents, in God's right timing and we continue to remain optimistic and have faith that in time, God will give us the desires of our heart.

Nonsense.
Just a little nonsense with the video camera and the dogs.
I'm silly.
It's ok, they still love me.
It looked to me like Pickle was at the drive-thru window...so I went with it. :)
