Fall <3

I heart fall. I love the weather and the colors. The colors have only started to change here, but there is definitely a chill in the air. A little rain on and off, but also sun, on and off. I'm excited to see if I have a snow-less winter this year.... How strange will that feel?

Oh Zooey...

I know this video is a commercial for cotton fabric. But it just makes me happy. I love every little scene and think this looks like the most wonderful way to spend a day. Not to mention I have a seriously huge crush on Zooey Deschanel. She is MARVELOUS!!!




That being said, I am also in LOVE her band, "She and Him." Her voice is just so magical!!! And the music is just quaint, and simple and absolutely lovely.



This video is whacked, but I love every bit of it. :)

"Toes"

So since I've been hanging out with a cowboy I have to admit, I've developed quite the appreciation for country music.
(Not to mention I've also, worn boots, rode horses, shot guns, help build a fence, gone country swing dancing, tried chew, and of course, listened to lots of country music.)
I used to not care for much of it, but a few songs here and there, but the more and more I've listened to it, I've decided that it really is the basic form of all music and it is actually really really good. I don't have much else to say on the topic, but I simply wanted to share this music video with you. It's by the Zac Brown Band. Every song they write is so fun and cheerful, I just love them. Tell me this video doesn't make you happy. It's called "Toes."



And this one is probably my favorite, it doesn't have an actual video yet, so this is the best I could find. It's called "Where the boat leaves from" it just makes me giddy. :)

Zac Brown Band, You ROCK!!!

A very beachy Sunday

Yesterday, after a long Saturday night of listening to mass amounts of new Portland talent at a bar with way too many red lights; we decided to nurse our hang-overs by cruising over to the beach. Due to us sleeping in, we didn't arrive until the afternoon, so it was a bit too chilly to want to get in the water, course the waves were rather harsh and unwelcoming as well, so I don't know if I would have done much water play regardless.

We started with a DELICIOUS dinner at a place called Norma's Diner. (The name is probably what made me choose it because I have a Grandma Norma... who I love and miss) The meal consisted of cocktail shrimp, bread, a fantastic salad w/ homemade (or so they said) blue cheese dressing, salmon, and oysters. Wow. I thought I was gonna blow up when we were done. But I gotta say, you can't beat fresh seafood right on the beach.

I mostly took this picture so you could see what was on the label of my beer. If you can't read it, it says,
"12 fluid ounces of ridiculously tasty original amber ale, concocted by our massive brewforce of 47. Specialists in the liquid refreshment arts since 1987"
I thought it was hilarious.

And now, some pictures of the beach:

Have you ever seen a swing set on the beach?!? Cause I sure haven't, and I LOVE it!!!

Gotta love that salty ocean air...

A cowboy on the beach?




(Well for some reason it is taking like 5+ minutes per picture upload,
so I will have to upload the rest later)

Good Times.

Planet Earth

Yesterday evening, after the rain storm, god reminded us that he is not planning to flood the Earth with a beautiful rainbow!

Also the other day we went up to get a closer look at Mt. St Helen's. We watched a video of the eruption and learned all about volcano's in the observatory. Crazy stuff. It's amazing how drastically this world can change just from one second to the next.
Here's a picture of what it used to look like:

And here's what it looks like now:


And here's just a cool picture I found.


Here's a real tree that they put in the observatory... this is what they all looked like after St. Helens decided to take a deathly explosive dump on all of them.


And THIS guy literally stopped, read that sign (or maybe he was pretending to read it)
and yet, continued to walk down the grassy pathway. hahaha people are ridiculous.

It was all really cool :)

I want new clothes!!!

R.I.P. Patrick Swayze

The gorgeous and graceful Patrick Swayze passed away today. I would just like to pay my respects and say that he was definitely one of the sexiest men to grace this planet, and I will always and forever love your films: 'Dirty Dancing', 'Ghost', and most of all, 'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.'

Kitty Painting...

I don't know how any cat could/would sit through this, but I guess there are places where you can get your cat painted up all fancy like. (I got this in an e-mail) Apparently it lasts about three months, or until their fur grows out, or something like that. Pretty cool looking stuff. Except some people can be so cruel to their pets, some pictures had their cats painted like clowns and such. Jerks. Anywho, if I could afford it, I would have them paint my kitty like this for Halloween. So fun!

God I love halloween!

Crazy kitty eyes...

I just realized I didn't post any pictures of my drive home... Well, I mostly just wanted to show you my cat. Have you ever seen a cat on sedatives?!? It forces their third eyelid (that's what the vet called it) to come out and almost take over their eye!! I'm so glad he warned me of this, cause when it happened, I freaked out a little.
She mostly just slept the entire time (as expected). Every now and then she would open her sleepy little eyes and attempt to look around. --I don't know if she could actually see all that well, I imagine her vision must have been similar to ours when we've had a few too many drinks. But that's just my observation-- Also a couple times she would try to climb up front off her cozy little pouch to lay in my lap... she could barely stand and wobbled like a drunk. It was adorable.

See.....Creepy!!

So we covered them up...
