apartment inspiration

thanks to rita koing (a contributor to domino-images found on domino.com) here's some inspiration for those of you who like me find themselves living in apartments. how lovely is rita koing's apartment?

i love how she used this dark wallpaper with so many detail items in her entryway.



the all white background for her living room is so wonderful with all of the pictures and colors in this room.



i love how this room looks so comfy and warm. i think that's exactly what a bedroom should be like.

a tiny rant...

so i had told myself i was going to try not to get into politics on this blog...

but,

i just have to say a little something about how people are responding to this election.

*people who i have looked up to and who i respect, are saying and writing things about the election i never thought possible. they are writing and saying the most mean and disheartening statements not only about the candidates but about those who support that candidate. i don't understand this.

yes, i have decided to support a certain candidate, but never would i write or say that those supporting the other candidate are stupid or uneducated because those supporting the other candidate include my friends, people i trust, people i respect. i hope i never forget that a blanket statement about a certain candidates supporters includes people that are my friends, that are my family.

i understand elections bring out passion. and i'm glad for that, but passion coming out in this way is just unnecessary and rude. have we forgotten that everyone deserves respect? everyone deserves to have their opinion heard without name calling? we live in such a great country (not without it's troubles and hardships) one where we have the ability to choose between two educated candidates who would both do a fine job as president. we are given the oppprotunity to vote for one or the other based on issues that are important to us, but i hope we never forget that differing opinions are not a bad thing. we are given the right, here in america to have difffering opinions and i for one, am very thankful for that right-people in our past, in our present, in our future pay dearly for us to keep this right. so let's not make a disgrace of it.

a little confession

so ive been a little under the weather and thus my blog has been a little blah.

but, today i slept pretty much all day and am convinced i am better. so back to blogging i will be.

i'll post my fashion remix pictures of those days soon.

a glimpse of joplin...

tonight i saw a guy riding his motorcycle standing straight up on his seat. it was crazy. he was towering over 5 feet above his handlebars.

at first i was amazed. and then i wondered why is he doing this here, why now? but then i realized. it was a little show he was putting on.

yes as i watched in amazement the rider went back and forth doing multiple tricks for the audience inside ...

buffalo wild wings. i can't make this stuff up people. it's for real.

it was awesome and kind of sad all at the same time.

im not kidding when i say that buffalo wild wings may in fact be the most popular place in joplin and beyond. the parking lot is always packed and though i have never actually ate in this location i pass the parking lot all the time. it is never ever even halfway empty. yes the cup is always full if you own buffalo wild wings. at least for now.

get excited. if you're lucky i'll have another crazy story tomorrow.
