Messages from Little Bro



So, he's away. Across the pond. But he sent us these vids so we know a little about what he's doing. Hope he's staying safe! (And I hope I'm not showing anything illegal :-/)

I Am Not Dead

Just wanted to pop onto, um, my own blog for once to let people know: I'm Not Dead. I've just been busy being involved in the Twi-sites of late. And I don't think you want me posting all about Twilight and the actors and the movies, etc. You can clicky on one of the Twi-links I have at right ---------> for all that shite.

Just want to say, I heart my followers. Some are from the fashiony blogs I visit, like JCrew Aficionada, that I've been neglecting of late. I sorry! I suggest you check out Twilight so you know what all the fuss is about and then join in on the fun. Then you can head on over to the LTT/LTR Forum. Forums are fun. The LTT/LTR Forum is the funnest! Join it! You'll lots of stuff, like this and this, over there. Ahem, yeah.

So I've made a few purchases of late. Anthropologie, of course! I'll be posting reviews of the items this weekend, I think. We are throwing a house party, and it is Mother's Day, but I'll squeeze in the time for you! And maybe, just maybe, I'll get some eBay items up. Been sorting through all my shtuff and realized I have some nice pieces from Anthro that just don't fit me anymore and were worn maybe a handful of times. You are so lucky!

Oh, and the little bro, aka Army Brat, is home on pre-deployment leave so I'm also spending some QT with him before he leaves, for a year. *cries* He has a lovely little blog that he's started as a way to keep all his peeps informed while he's away. It'll be updated when he can and has internet access over there. Check out The Many Musings of The Moshi. It'll add to your life. Srsly.

Marti signing off for now.

I heart your faces!

Here's a pic of my kitty to make you giggle. He's so EFing weird.

Sznurek, mid-cleanse.  Aaaawkwaarrd.

Living in a Remodeling Zone

I was going to say "Construction Zone," but I guess the major construction is over. For now. I'm talking about the house I bought with my brother at the end of last summer. Life events, namely my father passing, prompted us to sell our parents' condo and buy a single family house in our names. Our Mom lives there with us, as she is unable to be alone right now. And most likely for the foreseeable future. Our other brother is "living it up" in the army. He's stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina right now, but we think he'll be heading to Iraq within the next few months. Scary.




Visiting St. Louis for boot camp graduation - Silly, silly boys

The house project has been a great distraction. We couldn't even move in when we bought it because of demo that needed to be done. 2 weeks of staying with family turned into 2 1/2 months. Living out of a suitcase was getting pretty old! We finally moved in the day before Halloween last year. And the work continues on. And on. And on.

My brother is project manager. He's pretty handy, so with help of family in the business and their contacts, we're getting it done. He took some photos of the house before and during some of the major remodeling. Total mess! I'll be posting some of the before and after photos as we progress further. It's seriously amazing what we did to the bathroom and kitchen already. They were the 2 worst rooms in the house and now they're my favorite. In the meantime, check out the new bar stools we just got from Target. Yay! for breakfast/cocktail bar!



Cocktail anyone? Make mine a margarita!

Oh, and check out some random shots of my brother and I boxing each other on the Wii when he was home for Thanksgiving. I was so totally kicking his ass. Hehehe...





Take that!
