Movies Again....

So recently in order to cut back and just get rid of unneeded expenses we decided it was time to cut cable. I know, I know, how in the world can one live without cable. I mean, what else is there to do. Really I have thought this way before. But I have realized that I would rather spend my money on other things I enjoy more. I don't want to spend another night watching World Worst Criminals,"Busted in the Buff." So to get the family to agree with this idea I told them we could do netflix. I mean 52 dollars down to 13 dollars, yeah I'll take that anyday. So we started up our queue. I have been wanting to see "The Out of Towners" with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis for sometime, so I was excited to get to watch it. It just makes me laugh hysterically at how many things could possible go wrong. They go to a church in hopes that they can pray that things will get better, and they are even told to leave because they are filming for an easter service. They get mugged, kidnapped, chip a tooth, well the list goes on. The actress Sandy Dennis is so hilarious. If you have netflix check this one out.
We may go to a art festival today. What are you up to? Have you seen any good flicks?

Routine

This summer I feel like I have really gotten just lazy and out of my routine. Which can be a good thing, I mean I did let myself do alot of relaxing this summer, but... I need to get back on a schedule next week. I start teaching my kiddos on Monday, and I need to get more subjects in , and start teaching my second little one. I started at ten last year, but this year we need to start at nine. This means, yes, going to bed a heck of alot earlier. I mean there are nights where I don't go to bed until 1:00 a.m. and then I'm dragging myself out of bed. I really want to start going to bed no later then 11 and being up by 7. This is hard for me, because I'm not a morning person. But in order to start by 9, I got to get myself going. You see, I cannot concentrate until my house is clean. And I don't feel myself until I have exercised. So I need to fit those in before school. I used to be good way back when, before kids, to get myself to bed at a good time so that I could work in the morning. Well when I started having kiddos, and I was up all different hours of the night, I got used to being up late, and it has stuck like this for 7 years. Now I must finally kick the late night train.
So I haven't shown any Etsy love in awhile so here we go.

I love , love this adorable "Rabbit Purse" by Scotatto.
Check out these adorable prints by Blancucha's. I love the colors and the sixties feel to the pieces.

This next etsian I discovered over on Flickr, and her outfit re-do's are amazing, not to mention her pics and color choices are ace. Check out "Young Captive."

And I would feel so cool with these pencils from
"Paperpastries."

Well I'm off! Have a super Thursday!

"Ping Pong" is his name, catching crickets is his game..

I have been wanting to take pics of my son's toad for some time, and today he was in the perfect position for some really cool pictures. He is a "fire-bellied toad." He has the prettiest orangish red belly to scare away all of his predators in the wild. This guy loves his crickets. And he is really good at catching them. My son keeps him on his bookshelf so he can soak in the sun as it comes through the window. Thats all for today!

Weekend Movies

We had a sorta movie weekend where we didn't feel like doing anything. Our Friday night we decided it was 80's night and we watched "Lost Boys." I remember seeing this when I was younger. I like it just the same, except for the gruesome parts, ugh(but they are vampires). I'm not one for horror movies at all, but this one is a bit cheesy, so I can do with that.
Saturday night we decided we would watch the movie "Once." I have talked about this one before, we have seen it, but haven't watched since we bought it on dvd. I love it so much. You find yourself singing or humming along through most of the movie.

Okay and I just have to talk about the movie documentary coming out about Joaquin Phoenix called " I'm still here." I am so intrigued by the preview. I love documentaries but this preview leaves you puzzled and wanting to see more. I can't wait to see this.

I made this today!

And I used my favorite vintage blue glass cake plate. Can't wait to eat it after dinner.

Friday!

Have you ever heard of Warby Parker. I was looking at my flickr this morning when I saw the most adorable glasses with a link. So I checked it out, and I was super excited. They make afforadable glasses with free shipping and prescription lenses for free. And the glasses are 95 dollars, score. But not the best part yet. Everytime you buy a pair of glasses, they give a pair of glasses away to someone in need. Totally awesome huh? I totally want these glasses!

I love glasses. I have worn glasses ever since I was a toddler. So I have gone through many pairs. My husband loves glasses too. He didn't wear them when we first met, but a couple of years after we were married he needed them, and I have never seen someone more excited to have to wear glasses. He has a pair right now that are John Lennonesque that he looks quite cute in! I need to get new one's soon, so I have been on the hunt for the perfect frame. But I'm loving the Warby Parker glasses!
I have been doing some cross stitching lately. I plan on getting a whole mess of christmas gifts done early this year, and then I don't have to worry about them during the christmas season. I am all about the homeade gifts. I don't like all the mass produced stuff that they try to get us to buy every year. I treasure any handmade gift I recieve because I know that it came from that person's hands and they put alot of thought and love into making it. I have so many special handmade blankets that family have made, that my kids treasure and I do as well. Well I hope you have a great weekend! T.G.I.F. (I love to say that because its cheesy and funny at the same time).

If I went back to school...This is what I would bring

These adorable Tommy Hilfiger glasses.

Plaid bows!

A Hello Kitty lunch box!

And all kinds of food erasers!

And I just think these are funny, a little potty humor if you will!
Have a great Thursday!
