Music-Junkie meets Blog-Junkie

Hello,
I thought I would share a neat picture/idea that I found on one of the blogs that I read daily. I thought this was a clever and cute idea for a hat rack. (Sister- let's make some!)
Also, I might add...
My sister has made me into "Blog Junkie!!" I know, I know...you're thinking, "What?! How?! You never blog...so on, so forth." Well, that's because I am constantly reading everyone else's blog. I adoringly & lovingly blame LQ. She introduced me to Rockstar Diaries and I went down hill from there (or I should say up hill because I love them so much). I now have several that I read every day. Like I said before, I love them but my work might be suffering some. Yesterday, I literally told myself, "You cannot read any Farm Fresh Forensics until you finish the expense reports!!" Yipes!
Anyhoo, junkies don't like to "use" alone...so here's a list of my faves. Haha!
(Pixiwoo is a youtube blog...SOOOOO COOOOL. I have learned so much from Sam and Nic)
and lastly, my most recent favorite:
Farmer has made me cry about 10 times. I especially love the one called 'Blood Will Tell' March 26 '10.
Oh, one more thing. Don't forget about the baby storks. http://www.pfalzstorch.de/bilder/live1.html
I think they are ready to fly. It will definitely be a bitter sweet moment for Gin and LQ. We got VERY attached.
Ciao,
Gin

Warp speed, PLEASE...


Hello everyone!
I just ordered the newly released Johnny Flynn CD, called 'Been Listening.'
I hope it gets here lightening-fast! I am too excited to have to wait long.
For those who do not know me, this is my absolute favorite band.
For those who DO know me, they would say I'm obsessed!! Both correct.
Check them out for yourself!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Hugs,
~Flinny Gin~

Don't lay a finger on my Butterfinger...

WARNING!!! Not for the healthy conscious...
If you have a Quick Trip (a Texas convenience-store) close by, pop in and get a Butterfinger flavored coffee. It is heaven in a cup!
Obviously, if you are concerned about calories (puh!), sugar grams (blah!), fat (lame!); then you might want to keep on driving. But, if not; man oh' man, yumo!

Confession: Normally, I am very concerned about the list above...but I decided that I deserve a little treat now and again.

Wink,
Gin

Hoot hoot!!




Here's a fun little fact about LQ's adorable little visitor:
"Athena, the Greek mythological God of war and wisdom, chose the little owl as a protective symbol. It was believed that the owl's night vision was a magical inner light."
Also, two days before his visit, LQ and I confessed to one another how much we have been loving and buying owl jewelry. It's our "latest thang!"
Coincidence? I think NOT.

Sweet Little Stork Family


Our new obsession!!
A few weeks ago, I downloaded a new app to my phone called World Tour. It's quite incredible. The app shows still photos from LIVE web cams from all over the world. It up-dates the wallpaper on my Droid phone every 30 minutes. You can set the app to show random locations or chose a favorite. I have definitely found my fav cam. It is a nest cam in Bornheim, Germany. It is wonderful. I have enjoyed watching this little family grow. There is a mommy, daddy and two sweet little babies.
As I said before, I'm obsessed with them. One day last week, I left for work and forgot my cell, which for most of us is like "the end of the world," and it was for me too; not because I couldn't text, check Facebook, make calls etc...but because I couldn't check in on my cute stork family.
Well, to my excitement, I found the actual web site to the nest cam.

This site up-dates every 5 minutes. Score!
Check it out! My sis and mom are now crazy for them too.
