Be Bop

Be Bop was crazy this morning, but I finally caught him taking a rest on the staircase.


He looked pretty content...


That didn't last long...he got the crazy look in his eyes...


Then he went bonkers!


The end.

10 Inches Lighter

So today was a big day. I didn't tell anyone, I just made the appointment and went in by myself. I got 10 inches cut off my hair and am donating it to Locks of Love. I feel privileged to have been a part of this elite club of people. After Angie separated my hair into 4 sections,  she cut and Vwa La, I have a new do.

                          

 This is my before shot.

The cut!

                                                          "OMG- I can't believe I did it!"

Thank you Angie!

Born In A Barn

Here are some of my cute new Autumn and Halloween decorations I found at Born In A Barn near Monticello, Iowa. Two ladies from Cascade put on a few shows a year in an old barn down a gravel road. They use to own two cute little knick knack decoration stores on the main drag down in Cascade but decided to combine forces and just do a few shows a year instead. So they closed last December and moved to a rickety old barn instead. Mom and I enjoyed ourselves and bought a few things we loved. They have a Christmas show coming up the first week in November- Can't wait!

Since I live in an apartment, I have a hook on our front door and usually hang a cute little saying or decoration on it. This is my new "Welcome Autumn" one!

This my new Autumn wreath. Complete with pinecones, colored leaves, and two owls (to whom which my Mother said "look it's Amy and Chris". After that I then decided that I must have this! I am the top owl, with the jazzy pattern, Chris is just the boring owl.

Last but not least, is the new Tim Burton pumpkin. My mom and I both bought this because it was so cute! It has an opening in the back so a tealight can fit inside-it is brilliant! The cute witches hat is super tall and skinny. I have more Halloween decorations that I bought last year when they closed shop. I cant wait to put up my fun Halloween decorations come October!
