I was just talking on teacupterrorist.com about the different ways you can brew coffee. I wanted to get a French Press, but my husband said since I don’t like strong coffee, I should stick with my good old tried and true coffee makers. I might still upgrade the coffeemaker to a better one soon, though. Something with stainless steel and a timer. Maybe even a side that is exclusively for tea. That would make me extremely happy.

I just saw the most awesome spinning set on Etsy. I really really really want it. I just have to wait till I have a little disposable income to buy it. I did send it to my husband as a head’s up through email. I doubt that he will buy it for me, though. I am reading and watching and getting all the information that I can on spinning while I wait. The 30 dollars I just cut from my monthly budget is about to get blown LOL.

Talk about disappointed! I was looking to see if there were any wine of the month clubs that are active in NJ. Apparently, many places don’t supply this state because of some silly law! This is particularly appalling to me, a wine lover.
For around forty dollars a month, you can get two base level wines in your home, as long as you don’t live in NJ (and a few other states). Gold Medal is offering a red and a white whine every month. You get to sample some of the best of the wines from recent years. They have a lovely Cabernet Sauvignon that I would love to sample. If you have a more sophisticated wallet to go with your pallet, you can upgrade to the platinum or diamond series wines, which feature aged and blush wines as well as some hard to find wines.
If anyone wants to buy me anything this year, find me a wine club inw NJ and pay for a few months in advance. I might just love you forever

I just canceled my booksfree account. Why? Well, it isn’t because their service sucked. It was very good service. It isn’t even a whole lot of money. It’s just that I have to cut something, and that extra has to go. Maybe one day in the future I can start up again. Right now, I have to read the other book I got from them and send the two back so I won’t incur any charges. If the booksfree people ever look up their name, I want them to see that they lost a customer not because of their faults, but because I had a choice to make. Thanks for five months of awesome service. I appreciate it so much. You kept me sane a few more days a month.
I am about to let go of something else I love, too. My coffee subscription. That one will hurt like this one did. *sigh* I hate sacrifices sometimes.

The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill.
W. Somerset Maugham
Yes, it is true. If I was unable to relate my thoughts in words or art, I think I would spontaneously combust. I swear, sometimes it feels like fire burning in my soul…much like the way I serve God. They are both spiritual issues. If I could no longer find a cunning way to relate how cabinet hardware can be like a butterfly, delicate intricate and refined in a manner that sparks the senses, my life would extinguish.
Just writing about expressing myself gets me all hemmed up inside. I feel this passion that must be released. My tastes in this are eclectic, the way I see the world unique. I can see chairs in an airport and think to myself *how can I get these at an angle that make a person see things in a different light?*. Sometimes it looks pointless, but there is always a point to the pencil of my creativity.

I have a new obsession: LoLcatz and LoLdogz. I took a day and looked through about 112 pages on I Can Has Cheezburger. There is a regular LoLCats, but this one was the first one I found. I was laughing hysterically for hours that day. Ever since, I can’t stop making odd references to them, or laughing like a maniac when I hear the Diabetes commercial on television. It’s sad, I know. It’s all their fault though! Since then I have been making my own LoLdogz pictures. Here is one of them. I was going to post it Wednesday, but I didn’t have time:
There are more on my flickr site, but not too many. I’m not THAT obsessed LOL.

If you read my blogs you will know that we had our computer chair break and had been looking for a new one. The other day my son helped me to break the chair we were using for the computer so it was a bare necessity to get another one right away. Yesterday, I took off to Walmart and bought their leather office chair for under $50. It is so comfortable!
Husby got to finish my car yesterday before the rains came. It took him the better part of the day. We thought the brake line had been loose, and from my view it seemed as if it were only the back brake that was affected. Come to find out, the brake line had snapped at the bolt. Husby, being the handy man that he is, was able to take the same length of piping and securely reattach the broken bolt.
The dog decided to take off yesterday, but I will talk more about that later. At least I didn’t end up with hard feelings toward the dog, but I don’t think he will take off again for a while after yesterday…
I got my Kona in the mail from Marisa. I have a tribute to write to her later…
Husby had his phone stolen yesterday *at least that’s what I gather from the unusual story around it*. So here we go again … on another saga with VM for a new phone…ugh.

Sounds like a bad romance novel, right? In a way it is. My husband and I share an undying love for weapons, namely those with sharp edges. I can’t tell you how my neck tingles, how I get goosebumps, how my body starts to shudder at the thought of a beautiful sword or knife. We love to watch the shows on Discovery channel about Ninja gear and how it is used.
Our favorite show *of which we can never remember the name* documented the effectiveness of different weapons used in martial arts. There is a woman on there who is so fierce! I love how the show zigzags in and out of reality by showing you the inner workings of the wound that would be inflicted from different attacks and weaponry. It’s brutal, but awesome. My husband and I watch it side by side with our eyes peeled, our mouths shut, and beads of perspiration upon our brows. It’s amazing how weapons awaken such a fervent passion in us to buy more, collect more, fondle the blades, make them our own. I know that when we finally buy our house the basement will more than likely have walls lined with the beauty of blades glinting in the pail fluorescent light.
