A few random things

[mrs617]

Seems like things are so busy lately, but I can't really put my finger on the difference. I've been terrible about commenting...and even reading...this last week, sorry!


Hannah and I had a delightful time yesterday. :) We went to the mall, out for dinner, then to the show, and topped it off with Starbucks. Michael Flatley is amazing! But despite the incredible dancing, my favorite part was when he played the flute (did you know he was a concert flutist?). It was absolutely amazing! I discovered that you can get the soundtrack for Celtic Tiger, so I added it to my Amazon wish list. :)

At Starbucks Hannah got a pumpkin spice latte, so I did some experimenting this afternoon...mmm! Have an espresso machine? Add 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (I have a recipe for it if you don't have the spice on hand) and 1 Tablespoon sugar to your milk before heating it. At first I thought it would be very similar to the egg nog latte that I make, but it's not. Yay! Now I have two holiday coffee drinks. :)

Beautiful things # 10 11: Leaves dancing in the road.

Dancing leaves on the road
Brilliant blue of the Autumn sky
Sunshine glowing through the trees
Walking through piles of red and gold
Anticipation

I need to get a birthday card in the mail so that it makes it by the 31st...

I think I'm addicted to Bath and Body Works. I'm not telling you how many scents of shower gel we have in our shower.

And of course, Hailie's still cute.

Edit: haha! Less than half of you knew that an abattoir was a slaughterhouse! *snigger*

Don't know much about slaughterhouses...I don't frequent them much...or ever.

Regarding your comment about Bath and Body Works..I am sooooo bad about that store. When we moved into the house I realized just how much lotion, shower gel and body spray I had in different scents and told myself that I wasn't allowed to buy any new ones until these are gone. I have a box under my sink full of them. It's insane!

But it all smells so good! ;)

[danialand.livejournal.com]

haha I know! That's why it's so addicting!

Cheater! You already gave #10. ;)

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

Ooops! Did I? See? I haven't even been keeping track of my own posts. :P

[beth3070.livejournal.com]

Hehe, yeah... I had to look back on your posts to make sure, but it was rainbird sprinklers.

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

;) I just looked back too. Thanks for helping me keep track!

We'll keep it out little secret... one should never feel guilty for finding more than 10 beautiful things.

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

haha...I'll never feel guilty! :D

I knew it. *looks smug* Of course, a dictionary always helps... ;-)

Believe it or not, I just drove past a slaughterhouse yesterday! Talk about coincidence. For all these years I was ignorant of the fact that there is a slaughterhouse in my own home town.

PS - What is your favorite B&B Work scent? I love their lavendar - REAL lavender - oil. Loverly!

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness! I have no clue which I like best. Let me think for a minute. If I could only choose one...probably the White Tea and Ginger. But I'm really, really liking the Brown Sugar Fig that I just got on Sunday. :) I wish they had a plain lavendar shower gel. :/ I love lavendar.

Isn't Michael Flatley just a bit too show-offy now, though? Flute? I'm impressed!

Mm-hmm about the leaves. I love them, too.

Shower gels are so fun!

Of course Hailie's still cute. As if she wouldn't be!

P.S. We say 'abbatoir' in Australia rather than 'slaughterhouse'.

[mrs617.livejournal.com]

*grin* I'd never heard the word before...

:) He is, that, but he's also very talented and does a good job, so it's not an obnoxious kind of show off. :) And yes, flute. It was amazing. I'm going to the the soundtrack one of these days.
