Let's Build A Home.




Gato and I are finally setting up our apartment and making it our own. I love settling in, which is different from settling down. We are going to stay by the beach. This is exciting for me. I love living here. We decided to make our place a bit more home-y and we have bought furniture and posters in the last couple of weeks. We have had our dining room table and couches for about 2 weeks now and we finally put our posters up this weekend.
I have an apt covered in leopard print carpet, 70's style couches, a poster of my favorite Beatles album. An awesome John Lennon poster and a Guinness poster. My table is covered with a table cloth scattered with bright colored fruit and flowers.
I am loving the whole ensemble. And so do my friends, they say the furniture, the carpet and the wall art strangely match.

Dinner For One at Casa De Holliday



My Husband is at a workshop. He left Tuesday morning and will be back Friday night. He is at the Mississippi Delta with some of the most awesome photographers in the industry. He is quite lucky to be experiencing such an intimate and inspiring gathering.
While he is away I am home with our three kitties. I ate out on Tuesday, well actually I ordered take out. I was too lazy to cook. Yesterday I was back on the horse and decided to make stuffed mushrooms without the aid of an online recipe. I threw a few ingredients together (from memory of course) and grilled chicken marinated in balsamic vinegar; I grilled asparagus, cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves. Dinner would have not been complete without $2 buck Chuck.
Dinner was yummy I did miss seeing my husband's face across the table though. We have had a dining room table for a week now and I am loving it. It's nice to have a home of my own. I can't wait to see my Gato tomorrow.
