rebel with a cause

this year for christmas, the bf and i have decided to buy one big ticket item for both of us to share. we vacillated between a couple- espresso machine, luggage, flat screen tv and finally decided on a good digital camera. lots of searching and researching took place as you can imagine and we finally settled on the Canon Digital Rebelxsi package from Costco. not only did we get the camera and lens, but we also got an additional 18-200 OS lens, camera bag (professional style) and 4GB memory card...all for $699. go Costco!

we are so excited about our new toy and i've been geeking around the house trying it out.

living art

those that know me, know my love for all things succulent. when i first came across a living art piece very similar to this in Sunset mag, i thought i had died and gone to heaven. i've finally discovered where this insanely beautiful art came from....Flora Grubb Gardens. this piece in particular has caught my eye with the lovely driftwood looking frame. what a dream. i'm hooked on these and now hooked on Flora's blog. well done!

Thursday, September 13th

No more strictly party and drink talk on here. I'm in detox mode and need shit to do. This is always a favorite place of mine to visit. Thursday should be a treat.
