Geek of the Week

GEEK OF THE WEEK!!

This week's Geek of the Week is a day late...but that's okay! Lately, we've been working on the house, trying to make it more homey and have more things around that make us smile.  That's why I picked Etsy seller KnobCreekMetalArts this week. I can totally see these on our bookshelves in the living room!

Fallin' Out of Love With Snow

WARNING: By writing this post, I am fully admitting how much of a geeky gamer girl I am.

Remember when you were a kid and it snowed. It was probably the best day of the year. No school, plus you get to don all these water-proof layers of clothes, roll around on the ground, throw snowballs at your siblings, and ride a slippery sled down a really steep hill.

I REALLY miss those days. Now... I am just ready for it to be all over.

Since Friday January 7th, it has snowed about three different times and has accumulated about 10-12 inches of fluffy white beautiful snow. I have only been to work ONCE since then, and my car hasn't moved in a week.

I have been a giant slob of a human being, not being at all productive, and playing too many hours of video games to admit.

Plants vs. Zombies... on the iPad. Check it out here. Just go ahead and play. I blame World of Warcraft for my addiction. They snuck in a teaser version of this game as one of their quests. I think Blizzard and PopCap are working together. :)

While playing, E and I watched all 3 Lord of the Rings movies, the 3 original Star Wars movies, Rugrats, Spongebob, and Top Chef.  Plus! We finally watched Howl's Moving Castle...which was amazing! Based on the book by the same name.

All in all, it has been pretty.

GEEK OF THE WEEK

Okay...so we are switching this to every Sunday, but this weeks Geek of the Week is Etsy seller, sewZinski with this most awesomest headband. At first glance, I thought it was a Harry Potter reference, but then when I looked closer and saw that is a Super Hero Lightning Bolt, I was hooked!

Check out the rest of sewZinski's Etsy shop here!

Renovating the Kitchen

Yes! Among all other things I do, I am also in the process of renovating my house.  We bought the house in June 2009 and have been slowly upgrading little things here and there.  It's a small cottage, only about 850 square feet, in West Asheville.  So I give you the kitchen! About 85% done!
