So this is goodbye...for here

It all started with a knock on my door. It was the AT&T guy offering me the one thing I never knew I couldn't live without: DVR (and for a better price). So I switched right away without a second thought. Until I remembered my email was from my old cable provider...no problem right? I'll just make a gmail email and be on my way. Well blogger is gmail related. So now everytime I try to log in its gets all screwy because you can't change the email account related to your blog (or if you can I can't figure it out) . So thirty minutes later, I'm finally logged in an totally over blogging.

Well I've also been considering making the jump to tumblr for a while. It seems a lot easier to blog from and you can blog from your phone, which means maybe I'll post more.

But I'm worried. Tumblr seems a bit hipster for me. As you all have learned, I tend to go on and on. Can I limit my "genius" to a few one liners because everyone's that I read is short on words? And all this reblogging and stuff, I don't know the tumblr rules. I like to post all my little pictures of home remodeling projects, do tumblr hipsters do that? I can't even figure out how to follow all my home decor blogs on tumblr. What if I miss a crucial tutorial on creating the perfect chippy paint look?

Well there is only one way to find out, so follow me on over to tumblr land at www.livinglifeinlittlerock.tumblr.com and we'll get through this together.

Can't wait to see you all there

These books are for looks

The pup and I had a mini vacation this weekend at my Mom's house. Fun was had by all.

I got one of my Christmas presents early so Mom could be sure I would approve of her color choices.

I have been in love with these books for just about ever. So I decided to throw some hints around and see if anyone wanted to purchase some for me, and someone did!

Now I'm a bit nutty with my book stacking. I don't like for them to all be the same size, which these books obviously are. So I had to find places all over the casa to work these books into my overall scheme. Here they are, enjoy

Living room: The Picture of Dorian Grey (I was totally not trying to be literal by putting a camera on it either, it just looked good)

Also in the living room: Jane Eyre

Master bedroom: Little Women

And guest bedroom: Sense and Sensibility

So I hope you liked that little book tour through my home. I'll leave you with some pics of the pup enjoying his weekend in "grandma's" yard. Later

Fall Flowers

Google: "Fall flowers to plant" and you won't come up with much but website after website of lists of flowers to plant. No pictures, just words.

How on earth am I supposed to plant a Tropaeolum majus in my flower box if I don't even know what it looks like and so can't find it at my local nursery. And you think I'm going to try to say those words? It'll end up sounding like some exotic disease.

I imagine my fall flower box looking something like this, except planted in the ground with the sunflowers kept short (is that possible) and pleasing to the eye.

But I'm pretty sure none of those are actually fall flowers, just fall hues. Which makes me understand the popularity of the mum. I'm pretty sure I'll be planting mums too this fall. *Le sigh* Ok have to get myself off to dreamland, any and all fall flower ideas are welcome here as you can see I am somewhat lost when it comes to gardening.
