Fresh flowers....

{via}

I've figured out how to:

1. Put my old boots that are worn to almost-shreds but I don't have the heart to throw away, to good use...and

2. Display fresh flowers in my apartment.

Score!

Guess where I'm headed...

Beautiful New Orleans! I will be there next week and I'm so thrilled to finally be taking a little vacation from the craziness that has been my life lately. Funny thing, I was in New Orleans around this time last year and they were filming two movies while I was there: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (beautiful movie) and the craptasic 12 Rounds (starring wrestler John Cena-enough said). Of course with my luck, I had a chance to see a couple of scenes of 12 Rounds being filmed and even spotted John Cena but no Brad Pitt/Angelina/kids sighting. Oh well. You can't win 'em all!
