Househunting has officially begun
We went to look at a house the other day. It was cheap. You could spit and hit my husband's office building. There was also a freight train almost running directly through the backyard.
There was also a home invasion in the neighborhood just yesterday.
Maybe NOT a good idea. Not to mention it needs a total gut-job.

"Holocene" Bon Iver
I'm a huge fan of Bon Iver, most especially Holocene. My love for this song has heightened due to the fact that my daughter loves it too, and video is just breathtaking.
The first time I played the video, my daughter was busy playing with princesses, and she immediately stopped what she was doing and came over to the computer. Demanded that I move my butt, and sat herself down, in awe at what was on the screen.
Here is the video so you can be in awe of this pure beauty yourself.

gratitude.....
I am grateful to all my friends and family - I am lucky to have them in my life, even if it means being busy every weekend for the next 2 months.
I am grateful for extra-large iced coffee's and sugar cookies shaped like ladybugs.
I am grateful to myself, for getting my groove back in blogland.
I am grateful to Minute Rice, for finally letting me eat brown rice without it turning into mush.

Indigo/Chapters Lifestyle Collection
Image my delight when this little number popped into my inbox today
Imagine my displeasure when I saw the price! ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? REALLY?
It's gorgeous, but not THAT gorgeous.
WHY is the the Indigo/Chapters Lifestyle collection soooo expensive? Is it worth it? Have you purchased anything from their collection in the past?
I guess I should start saving up my gift cards, eh? Skip the magazines for awhile. Cause I gotta have this.

Do you have a 40 before 40 list? or a 30 before 30 list? Or another similar type of list? Here is a list of other bloggers that are doing similar things...i love browsing them every so often to see what they've been up to, and to see what crazy stuff they want to do! My own is pretty normal I think.
If you have a bucket list to share, feel free to link to it below. It's always interesting to see what others dreams and intentions are, arent' they?
