In the beginning there was an all pink (with the exception of the dark green carpet) little room. The little room was then painted a pretty sea breeze blue with bright white trim and ceiling. Then furniture was moved in the little room after carpet was installed. Then the furniture was configured to maximize space. Room evolutions are seldom fully mutated but I do believe it will stay as is for some time. I just thought I would give you a progress report on my lovely humble abode. Here are a couple other views of the room. The closet is of modest size so the top shelf is rather packed. Don't judge.

I would like to say happy birthday to my little sister Autumn! She turns 15 today. We had her "gotcha day" six days ago, which means she has been with our family for 14 years baby!

I hear the first step of recovery is to admit there is a problem. Hello, my name is Rachelle and I am a podcast junkie. Step one-check! I have had quite my fill of them lately. Monday morning I flew into Los Angeles from Kansas City and was in the full swing of things by the evening. Tuesday I had book table and then service. Oh and by the way It's A Grind evidently closed in my absence and I am expecting to be in a state of mourning for maybe- the rest of my life. Wednesday was full of Kaiya time and making birthday invites time and more Kaiya time. Thursday was when it all went down, my binge on podcasts. I hadn't been able to move my things into my little house before I left for Kansas because the carpet had yet to be installed. So since I have been back there has been a lot of unpacking, moving, adjusting, cleaning, arranging, organizing, switching, turning and the like. Thursday was my designated day to get a bulk of the work done. So really it isn't my fault. It was l...

I sometimes use my Photobooth on my Mac as a mirror and other times I just use it because I don't have my camera handy. Regardless there are a lot of pictures of me and my family on my computer. I thought I would take a look over all the pictures taken in 2010 and thought it was neat that I inadvertently documented the events of my life in picture form. So I thought I would share with you a general jist of my year. 2010 New Year Dressed up for KC Repertory Theatre Deep concentration at work St. Valentine's Day Massacre costume Nose piercing Cooking burn First introduction to Yogurtland during LA visit Holding baby parakeet back in KC New moccasins after Oklahoma trip Funny face with Alicia Holding grown parakeet Me going sans makeup Cook books arrived on my birthday at work Had my hair cut off Hotel in Los Angeles after long trip First day of ministry Pumpkin carving Kaiya watching Hair trimmed in LA Thanksgiving thumb print card First attempt to use round brush with short hair...

I trust and hope you all had amazing holiday celebrations with your family and friends. I sure did, and I received some pretty awesome gifts as well. I'm stoked. I now have some pretty rad sneaks, some sassy heels, gift cards, a coffee press, a calendar, tiny salt and pepper grinders, and my favorite perfume, among other things. I always feel like I am blind sided by New Year. You have a huge build up to Christmas, you are just getting over all the festivities and then BAM! 2010 is over. I think this year may be the year I don't make my New Year's resolution from 2007. I should clarify, I have broken many many New Year's resolutions but there was one in particular that has been kept for the past couple years. I guess on a technicality I have met my goal but on the broader spectrum I have failed. I used to be one of those people that would read a book 75% of the way through, would get excited about another book, lose interest in the current book and start the new one and...
