Casa de Amor
Romance is not Dead! | Monday, January 17
Hi, all!

My wonderful, darling, lovely sister spent last night making up several new pages for our website. Some are still "under construction" but some are "open to the public". The first link is to the left of this post and is labelled How We Met. Check it out! You'll then have the option of reading The Proposal and viewing a few wedding photos (which are coming).

So, take a look and post a comment...or two! :)




Rachel's thoughts on King Kong, Wholemeal Spaghetti and Hammocks! | Friday, January 7
King Kong

Matt & I watched this last night. I know it's listed in the Top 100 but why?? It is not a bad way to spend an hour and 40 minutes but it isn't my ideal way to spend that time. The story line is a little bit tacky and all those monsters and dinosaurs consuming people. FUN! :-S Anyway, all in all I'm feeling more "cultured" for having seen it considering it IS on the Top 100 and I have a LONG way to go to saying I have seen them all but I'm not that sold. And also, it weirded me out watching people who I know can't possibly be alive so in otherwords are d-e-a-d! Lol....yes I'm morbid but it is what was running through my head while we watched it.

Wholemeal Spaghetti

Different. We had it tonight with our Chicken Cacciatore and I didn't notice a big difference in flavour. It was slightly more chewy than white spag so I think I could've boiled it a bit longer but it wasn't bad. Al dente really. Worth a look if you like spaghetti bolonaise and need to up your fiber intake. Just remember to boil the living daylights out of it!!! :)

and now the hammock!

Gowings (a male, outdoor, adventure supply store) is on the list of stores that participates in the Super Voucher that Matt gave me for my B'day. So, I have about $50 to spend. I was throwing around the idea of getting the complete Anne of Green Gables set but wasn't sold on that idea. Then I thought of getting some Little Women books but nah that's not that exciting. What's something that I wouldn't normally think of getting but is something I would LOVE?! A HAMMOCK! This is something I've wanted for AGES but haven't gotten coz a) we can't drill holes in walls and don't have the space to hang it on our balcony and b) see reason a. Anyway, I thought I'd check them out. Gowings online doesn't sell free-standing ones so I thought I'd just double check their 3-4 story store in the city and see if they did stock them in store...and they did!! They cost $130 but I worked it out and I can save 3/4 of my "mad" money over the next 2 months and have enough to buy it! I haven't found out delivery charges yet so am trying to do that but I'm pretty sold on this idea so hopefully by the beginning of March I will be the proud owner of a free standing hammock!!!! Good-bye old crummy couch that's sitting on our balcony rotting and HELLO! comfy hammock! :-D Can ya tell I'm a little excited by this idea??

Well, am going to be off. I have a book to read. (The Guardian by Dee Henderson)
