Pinterest Last 5 -- Vol. 2

I figured it's about that time to share my last five pins from Pinterest again!  Are you a member?  You can find me here!  I swear when I'm pinning sometimes I stick to similar themes and colors, seems like it anyway!  Do you find yourself doing that as well?  I hope you enjoy these!

Isn't this picture absolutely gorgeous?  It's such an amazing little treasure in the middle of nowhere!  I just wish I knew where it was located.

 I am in love with this picture. It is so mystical and full of summer.  It makes me miss my friends and those long nights of sitting under the stars.

 Orange Peel Cupcakes -- Yum!! I love any kind of citrus cupcake, and these are so cute!  I might have to make these soon...

This just makes me smile

 Look at these!!  I can't wait for fall to get here just so I can make them.  Though can you imagine using other colors with say a flower shaped cookie cutter? Or something else? Adorable!

Okay, okay.... I know this is number six but I couldn't help myself!  I was born and raised in Ohio and I saw this and literally let out a squeal.  Too cute to eat!  I want to frame this as well. :)  (Also, I couldn't find the source for this one so apologies! If you know, give me a heads up.)

So what did you think?  Do you have any favorites?  Also, if you need an invite to Pinterest leave your email in the comments and I'll send you one!

How was your Saturday?  Lunch with Nanc' was awesome... we went to one of my favorite places here in town (Neighborhood Pub) and I had the blue cheese wedge salad. It was delicious!! Tons of blue cheese crumbles and lots of bacon... yum!  After that we ran to the store and I got a new betta fish (we named him Rupert! Pics to come...) and then made our way home to hang around and veg in the AC.  I saw City of Angels for the first time and can't believe I hadn't seen it before. It was so good!  We also stumbled on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and...... WOW! That show is nuts.  I'm pretty much addicted.

What are you plans for Saturday?  I don't have much on the agenda other than finish up Harry Potter book 5 and ... well.... that's it for now. Hope you have a good one!

Song of the Moment #1

The Civil Wars -- "Barton Hollow"

This is my favorite song at the moment. I heard it yesterday morning on one of the random music channels on TV and immediately ran over to see who it was by.  I love the southern feel with a bit of darkness mixed in.  A great summer night song.  I hope you all enjoy!

What are you doing on this hot Saturday?  I will be spending my time working on a few blog posts and getting my photos organized on my PC. They are such a mess!  I'm also going to lunch with my good friend Nanc' and then hopefully catching up on some Army Wives on Netflix!  Hope you have a good one.  :)

P.S. -- What do you think of the new blog design?  I made a new banner and changed the colors around a bit. I think it's brighter and a lot more fun. :)

Reading has always been something that I have identified myself with.  In high school I'm pretty sure I was known as the girl who always had a book (or three) in her backpack and always preferred reading to actually listening to the lecture.  As I got older things didn't change much, though I must admit I became a little bit lazier when it came to my book selection.  I am a creature of habit.  I admit that I read the same books over and over, struggling to leave my favorites behind.  I am terrified of trying new authors (silly, I know) and worry that I will hate the piece.  I know I am missing out on so much amazing work!  I am making a point to start a book list, and work my way through it.  Right now I am reading Harry Potter, book 5 and Pride and Prejudice.  After these, I'm not sure yet!

A few I am interested in:

 The Dry Grass of August -- Anna Jean Mayhew
The Perks of Being a Wallflower -- Stephen Chbosky

I love all types of reads, fantasy and period work are some of my favorites. I also love gritty, creepy stories and am really wanting to find a few good mysteries.

What are some of your favorite books?  Any suggestions to add to my list?
