My Future Kitchen

So I have found my dream kitchen. These images are from My Home Ideas. I just hope my future husband likes pink as much as I do!!

 The cupcake sign is so cute and delicious.

This stove and refrigerator are so retro and cute I absolutely love them. I am not sure about the blue contrast I make make that pink too or white even. Oh maybe a lite lavender color.

But Not Forgotten by Dorothy Parker

I think, no matter where you stray That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not soon forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head, Nor all the tremulous things I said. You still will see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You'll hold me in your memory And keep my image, there without me, By telling later loves about me.

The Dream by: Edna St. Vincent Millay

Love, if I weep it will not matter,
   And if you laugh I shall not care;
Foolish am I to think about it,
   But it is good to feel you there.

Love, in my sleep I dreamed of waking,—
   White and awful the moonlight reached
Over the floor, and somewhere, somewhere,
   There was a shutter loose,—it screeched!

Swung in the wind,—and no wind blowing!—
   I was afraid, and turned to you,
Put out my hand to you for comfort,—
   And you were gone! Cold, cold as dew,

Under my hand the moonlight lay!
   Love, if you laugh I shall not care,
But if I weep it will not matter,—
   Ah, it is good to feel you there!

I Carry Your Heart With Me by: e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
                                  i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Telescope Louise Glück

Telescope  Louise Glück

There is a moment after you move your eye away
when you forget where you are
because you've been living, it seems,
somewhere else, in the silence of the night sky.

You've been stopped being here in the world.
You're in a different place,
a place where human life has no meaning.

You're not a creature in a body.
You exist as the stars exist,
participating in their stillness, their immensity.

Then you're in the world again.
At night, on a cold hill,
taking the telescope apart.

You realize afterward
not that the image is false
but the relation is false.

You see again how far away
each thing is from every other thing.

New Music Monday!!! 07/21/2011

Heard this on the radio the other day and thought it was a great song. This is Matt Nathanson singing "Faster". I hope you enjoy as much as I did. I also posted the lyrics. My favorite line is, "you taste like sunshine and strawberry bubblegum."

Faster - Matt Nathanson

You're so delicious
you're so soft
sweet on the tip of my tongue
you taste like sunlight
and strawberry bubble gum


you bite my lip
you spike my blood
you make my heart beat faster


own me, you own
you rattle my bones
you turn me over and over
'till I can't control myself
make me a liar
one big disaster
you make my heart beat faster


it's the way you swell, slow
pushing right out your seams
it's the way you smile, baby
when you've got me on my knees


your all night noise
your siren howl
you make my heart, beat, faster


own me, you own
you rattle my bones
you turn me over and over
'till I can't control myself
make me a liar
one big disaster
you make my heart beat faster


cause I jump back, crash, I crawl
I beg and steal, I follow you
yeah you own me
and you make my heart beat faster


(I can't get enough
because its on like
I guess this world is over to me)


you own me, you own
you rattle my bones
you turn me over and over
'till I can't control myself
make me a liar
one big disaster
you make my heart beat faster

Harry Potter Premiere *SPOILERS*

Well the end is finally here. Last night I went with my sister and my Friend Sam to see the final Harry Potter film. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would but It was still amazing. And of course the book is till much better than the film. 

There were parts they left out that I would have liked to see, like Kreacher running out of the kitchens with the fake locket on his neck defending the castle for his Master Regalus. But I abbsolutley loved seeing McGonagall turning the statues to life and telling them to protect Hogwarts. And Molly killing Beatrix was was what I wanted to see although in my head it was grander than the movie. 

Of course I could have done without all the dying. So many good people lost and seeing Lavender being eaten by the werewolf set it off for me. Fred. Lupin. Tonks. Snape. Collin. 

And where the hell was Goyle in this film. They chose some random boy to go in his place to the room of requirement.

Seeing Ron and Hermione kiss was awesome they needed to do that years ago.

The 19 years later seen was much anticipated and I thought they did a good job although they left out Teddy and the fact that he was Harry's godson.

But still it was an amazing film and I can't wait to go see it again.

Bastille Day!!!!!

As those of you who have been reading this blog can tell, I love everything French and yes this includes their holidays as well. So I am wishing everyone a Happy Bastille Day or Bonne Fête Nationale!!! 

So What is Bastille Day? 

Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers.

I think I will celebrate by having a French movie marathon starting with my favorite French film, Amelie!

 And thanks to Netflix I can watch as many as I want without having to buy any of them.

Anything French always take me back to my time in France. I wish I was still there. 

This is a group shot upon our arrival in Cherbourg, France the Summer of 2007.

This was taken by Stephanie at Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, France.

My Birthday Buddy Tad, took this picture. It is one of my favorites, I have it framed in my room. I am staring at a beach in Normandy, France.

This was my very first image of the Eiffel Tower. For more on this story you can read my post here.

Bonne Fête Nationale!!

Viva la revolution!!!

Dollar Aisle Discoveries

I found these little cupcake treasures in the dollar aisle at Target. The cupcake holders are absolutely adorable, so I had to get the cupcake bag as well. I threw in the "A" coaster simply because they were pink and had an "A" on them! They make me want to make some cupcakes to store in the little holders!

 If you are a Scrubs fan than you will know this song played on the finale when JD was looking into his future. He saw himself marrying Elliott and spending Christmas with Turk and Dr. Cox. The song is called "Book of Love" and is sung by Peter Gabriel. Enjoy!
