Latest Obsession: Game of Thrones

{source}

Ohh man...so lately I have been OBSESSED with watching Game of Thrones.  I never watched it when it was being aired on TV.  I guess I thought it was just a medieval show with tons of fighting and wars which I usually think is super boring....  But oh boy was I wrong....

I started watching it after hearing tons of people say it was one of their favorite shows and after my friend Adrienne told me I had to see it.  I was very skeptical and at first...I first watched 3 episodes and wasn't really into it....  Maybe because I watched it with my Mom in the living room and well...in Game of Thrones there is a lot...a LOT of boobies haha soo it was a little awkward.....

Anyways a few weeks past and I thought I would try watching it again on my laptop..  My Dad likes to watch his cowboy shows until he goes to bed so I don't really watch too much TV..  In the last 2 weeks I have been watching it non-stop. The other day I watched it until 2:30 am and that was 5 hours straight that I had been watching it. haha.  The story lines are just soo good and they always leave you hanging.  There are so many different things going on with each of the characters in the different lands that you NEED to keep watching.  I really can't imagine watching this episode by episode on TV and waiting a whole week to see the next one.  I mean, I will HAVE to when the new season starts and it will be pure torture.

ok so I just want to list some of my favorite characters without giving too many spoilers away to people who have not seen it....if you haven't seen it... YOU SHOULD!! :)

As of right now I am almost at the end of Season 3.

TOP 3 FAVORITES:

1 -Khalessi is by far my favorite-  First, she is of course beautiful and I would die for her hair..haha I love her boldness, how she has a heart, and of course her dragons.

2 -Another one of my favorites is Tryion-  He may be on the wrong side that I am rooting for but I believe in the end he will make the right decisions.  He is very funny and can get his way out of most things.

3- and of course Jon Snow.  He is so cute and looks like a scared puppy dog most of the time but can be strong when he needs to.

 I can't wait to finish up Season 3 tonight after a nice gym sesh :)

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!! Better late than never :)

Oh em gee another post already!!!??

haha....yeah I didn't want to put errvythin in the last post so I am making another one. 

This is about Halloween!!

Soooo this year I wanted to be a fairy!..not just like Tinkerbell because that's boring ...I wanted to be a garden fairy.  I love to make my costumes that way I KNOW no one else is going to have the same costume... and how Matt decides on a costume is he first picks out a hat he likes and basis the costume on that.....can you guess what he is?? huh? huh???

                

He's Chocolate Moose "Mousse" haha yup he came up with that all buy himself. I thought it was a pretty clever idea...he also made his costume too :)

So way ahead of time I ordered some green contacts knowing I wanted to be a fairy.  These are the ones I got Pinky Paradise.  I love them.  I know my eyes are pretty green to begin with but these gave them that extra round doll look with a bit more of a green pop.

you can see better here..

I then added pointed ears that I had from a long time ago when I worked at a retail store and dressed up as an elf during Christmas shopping time..

My costume was a white dress I had which I brought from Jcpenney a few years ago for like $10. I dyed it green with Rit fabric dye and then glued a bunch of flowers and leaves that I got from Michael's Craft store. and I got my wings from Amazon.  Its kinda hard to see the wings so I will insert a picture here:

Wings

I also got some wire from Micheal's and wrapped it with floral tape, then glued ivy leaves to it and wrapped it around my leg like a vine growing up and then made a head crown with flowers.. You kinda can see in the first pic....then I did my eyes with a ton of green and put sparkles and glitter everywhere.. which is kinda hard to tell from the pics, but you get the point and then crimped my hair and Voila a fairy!

Now its time to partyyyy!

They had color changing lighted ice cubes! It was awesome!!

I had a great night!!

Happy Halloween from us, Cody, and the scary pumpkin my mom carved!!

"Just keep Swimming"

I love Salem, Ma

Ughhh its been too long :( Lately, I haven't had anything to really blog about...but nowww that I went to Salem and took some awesome pics I do..
...annndd soo this post will be heavily saturated with photos :)

So my favorite holiday came and went way too fast just like every year.  I wish Halloween could last forever.  I just love everything about it. wah... But what better place to go to celebrate Halloween...Salem, MA! We went the weekend before Halloween. I love it there and have been many times.

The first 3 pictures are just an awesome sunset in the back yard of my house that I had to share..

Before going Salem we went to visit Matt's aunt who lives in at a waterfront home in Marblehead, Ma.  It is absolutely gorgeous and I can't even imagine waking up everyday to enjoy that view.  It is just breath taking. 

Yup all of that water is her backyard...and this is the back deck that looks out onto the ocean... I could stand there alllll day. We stayed there for a few hours visiting and had some nice drinks before we went into Salem..

The first thing after we parked is we noticed a big group of people cheering so we went to see what it was all about.   It was an awesome juggler balancing on a tiered wobbly platform.  We just saw the end of the performance but he was really good and entertaining.  I wish I could have got his name to recognize him.

There were soo many people, but thats when I love it there...there are so many people dressed up..we walked around for a little bit and then got hungry.

MMM there is a Polish deli so we shared fresh potato and onion pierogis.  They were so delicious!!  I mean am 100% polish of course ;)

We then walked around the whole day looking at everything there was to see and going in the different stores.  Sometimes it was a little frustrating because there were lines just to go in the stores.  But it was worth it. 

We visited the Old Burying Point Graveyard which is the oldest burying ground in Salem

We noticed there were many coins placed on almost every gravestone.  I believe it is an old tradition to leave your respect to the person buried there.

This awesome tree was also in the graveyard.

After walking around more we got hungry again and shared a slice from Flying Saucer Pizza Company I wish I had taken a picture of the slice but we were so hungry by then there was no time to take a picture haha

This is the Friendship of Salem.  We went into town two different days so that is why one day the sky is gloomy and one is sunny with no clouds

The first night there the sky got really dark and weird looking...

But then we turned around and saw a perfect rainbow :)

Double rainbow...alll the way across the skkyy

and then the sky set into an amazing sunset

As we were still walking around we finally came to the Salem Witch Museum.  We only went into the gift shop part as the line into the museum was about a mile long.

Well that was the end of visiting Salem for the first day :(  

The next day we walk around Salem again for a few hours and then found a nice beach in Swampscott, Ma to walk on since it was such a nice day out.

Well that is all from our 2 day mini vaca to Salem, Ma.
