Since You Came Along

I have a new Hollywood crush. Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, I know, he's the sexiest man alive and everything, so I'm definitely not alone in my crush, but he really is adorable. I just finished watching "Definitely, Maybe" (which is a really sweet movie, btw).  Highly recommend.

Yum.

Now, I like Scarlett Johansson, and the two of them together?  Hello!?  I'm a little sad that they are getting divorced.  Silly girl.  Silly, silly girl.

Anyway, on to more pictures.  It's hard taking pictures everyday; a lot of times it's just random stuff from around the house, so sorry.  I hope things will get a little more interesting when it isn't so bleak outside.

This is from January 10th.  I purchased a headboard at the D.I. (thrift store), and we ended up tying it to the roof to bring it home.  I thought I'd take a picture so you can actually see Silvano.  Yes, I decided this car is a guy, since this is the only vehicle I have owned which has rear-wheel drive, and only a male would put ridiculous rims on a pretend-SUV to make it look cooler.  Okay, I don't actually know that, but the tires really do piss me off.  They look good, but they have no get-up-and-go.  I got stuck in a parking lot because I was on a very shallow slope and there was slush on the ground.  I was wearing heels, trying to scrape away the snow with the stroller (hey--it was all I had), and Silvano kept sliding around.  I started out over three feet away from the Jeep next to me, but once I slid to within a few inches, I had to have Allen come rescue me.  He brought a little shovel to help me get out, and even then, he had to clear out all the snow, down to bare pavement, just so I could back out.  Seriously obnoxious.  The tires will be fine in the summer, but driving in the snow is scary, and thinking about it makes me angry.

Silvano, the anti-snow beast.

From January 11th.  He's so stinking cute, even with his dirty little feet.

Yes, he still sleeps with his bum up.  I love it.

January 12th.  We got a package in the mail from Allen's mom.  His sister made a calendar, which had these pictures of Allen.

Cute kid, eh?  Then I realized that Benji looks exactly like Allen in that left picture.  Here's a close-up/comparison.

Little Allen and Little Benji.  Crazy, eh?

Yeah, I thought Benji looked like me until I saw this (that picture of Benji is from last June).  I guess it's just the eyes.  Anyway, here's some random stuff around the house for January 13th.  It's actually from a track suit I purchased.  They were on serious clearance, so I got two of them (jackets and pants), in this obnoxious pink and also in red.  And I got two shirts.  Plus, I had a coupon (or, as they like to call it, a "Gift Cheque") for $10, so I got all that for $25.  Yeah, baby.

The pink track suit.

And here's a couple of shots from today.  I tried to chase down a decent picture of the sunset, since it had a beautiful pink glow to it, but this is the best I got.  Not very inspiring.

And since I was driving in this direction, I decided to try to get a picture of the Murray bridge.  I love the simple lines and graceful arch.  It's too bad it leads to nowhere.  I think I drove on it once, ended up getting lost and having to back track.  It does look nice, though.

So that is my picture catch-up for this week.  Thanks for reading.
