snow, flowers, a movie, and iNsPiRaTioN

so, guess what?  we were snowed in again...big shocker........4 days in a row. and i have LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!  ok, well not EVERY minute...but most of them, especially since i actually felt like a woman this evening, took a shower, put on makeup, AND fixed my hair...AND put on something other than my pajama pants......and braved the messy roads to travel about 5 blocks to our "other home." (our favorite restraunt in town...Mahylons) so, it was nice to get out.......and hang out with friends....:)

it pretty much snowed ALL day here.....now mind you, Oklahoma has been blasted with snow....about 8-10 inches where we live, and another 6 today.....we are not USED to this....nor are we prepared......

so, i was talking to my mom this morning and she said "you have a blog"....i said yes, i have had it for a while, but actually WROTE on it for the first time early this morning......she noticed that i haven't put any of my art or anything on here...and i said you are right......that's it......and that is because i am technologically (is that a word?) challenged.....i mean i DID figure out how to do this blog, which is a small miracle itself....so i WILL figure out how to upload my pictures on my computer from my camera.....I know how to do this usually, but i was actually trying to use my usb to load them on my comp, directly from my camera......well after a while i gave up....andy(my 35 yr old husband) informed me that i had to install the software program first.....(new laptop).....i'm so glad i married that guy.....he takes care of me.

ok. since i LOVe to create, paint, craft, etc......i have actually done some of this week.......  i attempted my first curtain this week.....i took a beginner sewing class for 6 or 8 weeks,( i can't remember,) this past fall...and of course i HAD to have a new sewing machine...so my sweet husband got me a real nice one for my bday( i turned 29...he married younger!).....it even emroiderers, not sure how to do that yet! this first curtain is for my new  crap "craft room"...to cover the crap craft stuff in the closet.....


and i have also made LOTS of flowers.......

                 

sorry for the "not-so-good-pics" they were taken on my iphone.......

now, do i know i'm gonna do with these flowers????? nope, not yet.  maybe that will come tomorrow, maybe it won't. we'll see........

ok, totally different subject......so we watched Secretariat tonight...what a wonderful movie......but even better was the song at the end....yes, i am a music lover/stalker..so i held up my iphone and tried using shazam trying to figure out the song and who sang it.....no luck.....so, i googled it......i LOVE google.....and found the song, lyrics, and video.......i SOOOO love the lyrics and what they say....it's amazing how a song can touch you so deeply.....i hope it does the same for you.

(and if i have done this correctly, you can click the link below and hear the song for yourself) maybe a 50/50 chance.......good luck!

*i also attached the lyrics.....:) enjoy

i have aLOT more to say, but i'm pooped after going to bed at 5am today.....

so, joy to you.....rob

AJ Michalka - "It's Who You Are" Music Video
It's Who You Are
It's not the price
It's not the game
It's not the score
It's not the fame
Whatever road looks way too far
It's not what you have
It's who you are
It's not how fast
It's not how far
It's not of cheers
It's who you are
In darkest night
You make your sun
You choose your race
And then you run
It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not about seeing about who's less and who's more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
You lose the moon
Then be a star
It's not too soon
Be who you are
Whatever road looks way too far
It's not what you have
It's who you are
It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not seeing about seeing
Who's less and who's more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
You'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
When you have found
How fast you can run
When you have found
Your place in the sun,
It won't be just you that you'll find
Has made the run and the climb
It's everyone
It's never the glory
It's never the score
It's not seeing about seeing
Who's less and who's more
Cuz when you find out how fast and how far
you'll know it's not how much you have
It's who you are
It's who you are
Learning to bend and not to break
Living to give more than you take
Dying to live
Living to try
Feet on the ground
Dreams in the sky
It's never how much you have
It's who you are
