Gibby Goes to London

Tuesday, 15 June 2010

I went to a Welsh officers ball Saturday with my friends Alisa and Lindsay to celebrate! (Lindsay's Welsh boyfriend Jonathan is in the army.) I didn't take many pictures, but I did manage to get this one of me & Jonathan's brother Michael. I rode the hot air balloon despite my total fear of heights! It looks like we're on fire!!!!

new dress

I saw this dress at Topshop and could not resist. How can I say no to a silk dress covered with squirrels, birds, and little monsters?! :-)

Electricity Showrooms dancefloor!

Abominable snowmen = fierce adorableness

I love abominable snowmen. Especially abominable snowmen in the market:

Abominable snowman in the market,
That's right, you heard me right, gang.
And the housewives, they all remarking,
"Looks like a dirty marshmallow with fangs."
Well, there's an abominable snowman in the market,
Now he's down by the peas and carrots.
Abominable snowman in the market.
And they cannot chase him away.

heart-shaped things make everything more lovely

I like to treat myself to these heart-shaped cookies from the British Library when I've had a long day of work.

And I really like to use these heart-shaped post-it notes!

Excellent for marking particularly interesting passages in books!

"Waning excitement over the novelty of telegraphy did not mean psychic researchers had abandoned their search for a link between electronic presence and the paranormal."

STRANDED

Stranded in Tennessee.

Monday, 12 April 2010

Not London!

Back home in sunny Tennessee visiting the family. Took a road trip on Sunday with mom, pop, and little bro to visit my Uncle John and Aunt Helen in middle Tennessee. Made a few stops on the way home to experience the rustic beauty of the countryside and take some photos. I fell in love with the tractor cemetary, the donkeys, goats, guineafowl, cows, & horses. And I remembered how much southerners love Jesus!
