tick tock tick tock

well, i have been away. we took a little trip to rexburg for the grandpa ashton surprise b-day party. i love hangin' with the ashtons.

i know all three of you are wondering what the 5th, 6th, and 7th days of christmas were.....well the 5th was a replaced windshield (very useful and very very much appreciated, but i didn't think many people would want a pic of that one. ha)

the 6th & 7th were days of mirrors....check it out....

The top three mirrors will eventually swivel out after i mount them.
neat huh.

by the way..if anyone ever reads this you should also check out my cousin Katie's Blog..
it's on the left under..katie jo designs. (as i am obviously too lazy to post a link here). she is so creative it makes me feel sheepish. ha.

4th day of christmas ....

day #4= hours of brainless enjoyment. as i never buy these for myself but like to take subtle looks waiting in line at the store, aaron gave me a year subscription to one of these gems. any opinions?

doesn't that look just say, "i know i'm getting lovin' for this tonight?" yes. yes it does.

should I be posting this?

I feel slightly vain and/or spoiled posting these..but maybe someone will get gift ideas? ha. I'll just tell myself that. Today aaron gave me this beautiful glass clock. It's blending in this pic but you get the idea. This is on my desk in my music studio. awesome.

my true love gave to me.

For the first day of christmas....yes that's pine bough in those flowers. yummm




For the second day of christmas my true love gave to me...this loverly music stand....


aaron just started with the 12 days of Christmas. what a nice guy huh? sometimes i wonder why i'm a hater...i've never done the 12 days of christmas and this is aaron's SECOND time doing it for me. sigh. it's nice to feel loved :) (although if your husband isn't doing this for you..don't feel unloved -BECCA, just know that my man is better than your man. ha. JUST KIDDING).

Carmen

Tonight I found out I was accepted into the chorus of Carmen for Utah Opera.

Woo Hoo!!!

So in January go and see Carmen...with me....probably being a somewhat skanky local.

Awesome.

it would make me less poor. ha

old lady

i am an old lady. aaron bought me a heating blanket so that i could finally sleep. my feet and hands get SO cold at night that i can't relax. ha. and this is with two blankets on. so here it is...me under my old lady heating blanket. yes!!!

update on the mirror: it still looks gold even after staining it a slightly less vegas gold, but i'm loving it. is that weird? I think it might go in my music room! yes!

I also wanted to put three mirrors up in my bedroom. one in the middle, and two that bend in at the sides. like this.....
with a light above it? What do you think?
