The Before & After

Have you ever looked at your house, or your outfit, or something that you design and think -
"Yeah, it looks good" until you do something else to it and THEN you realize it looked a MESS before? Well, that is what happened in our house, in a nutshell. We thought that our house was getting cute, until we got these custom curtains! Now, we look back and think - "What we were thinking before?" You be the judge:

There are more, but my computer is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, I lost patience! Anyway, you get the idea.... I'm so in love with them! Hilary and I were laughing because my husband's favorite are the yellow & gray faux roman shade in the guest room... the MOST girly! Yeah, we definitely need to adopt a girl....

So watching Glee tonight, my husband explained that he has never seen Rocky Horror Picture Show. I have seen it several times, and tried to experience a live showing in college, only to leave within about 10 minutes because people yelling & singing along, not to mention throwing things, got on my nerves really quickly. I think we might rent so he can see it, but let's not forget he fell asleep on Broadway while seeing Rent.... He loves musicals... ;)

Happy Halloween! ~Amy

We Need a New Computer

So I haven't blogged in a while because I am losing my patience. Not my patience for blogging, but my patience for my computer. Something is seriously wrong with it AND our laptop. We are experiencing major technological difficulties on Cordillera Way. I think we are going to give in and buy a Mac, but I cannot handle the Apple Store (again, the patience thing) so maybe I will be surprised one day to see one on our desk. - hint hint-


A lot has happened in the month of October, and I cannot believe it is already 1/2 way over! OU/TX- with a victory, our Junior League Christmas extravaganza, the Watonga Cheese Festival, my husband's family reunion, our good friends got engaged and our friend Kim's 30th birthday (which is actually today)!! Happy 30th Kim!

We went to celebrate her birthday Friday night at the Melting Pot. I love that place; Z tolerates it. He cannot wrap his mind around spending that kind of money for "snacks". Whatev- it is a really fun place.

I digress.... Every year I look forward to the Watonga Cheese Festival, and my husband thinks I am nuts. There is something sweet about a small town festival and it excites me. Well, not this year. I was so disappointed, I almost cried. People look forward to small town festivals for one reason - Homemade arts and crafts. Now, not the cheesy wood cut outs of the lady bending over showing her bloomers, but stuff that you can't buy at the local Communist store, aka Wal-Mart. I love holiday decor, homemade baked goods and dips, jewelry, kitchen towels and scrubbers, candles, you know... those items. Well, unfortunately, the people that make them must be a dying breed, because almost everything I saw had the three words I hate, Made-In-China. Boo. I walked out with one thing - a cute thing, nonetheless, but only one. My heart ached. The positive thing about the Cheese Festival, is that I did get a picture of Z and his mom where they really look alike; don't you think? Oh! I forgot one other thing that made the Cheese Festival okay...

HILARIOUS! This was the mayor's way of transportation in the parade! I giggled about that for hours; too cute. ~Amy
