Saturday Blogthingy: Books and Road Trips

Well, it has been decided, since last blogging, that hubby and I are going away (childless) for a few days in August.  We are doing a road trip of the Kootenays in B.C.  I am very excited.  Hubby has even said he will sleep in a tent, mostly because we are doing this on a limited budget.  So, we have been excitedly planning and such.  I grew up going to BC for two weeks during the summer.  My Granny lived in Vernon, so we would make a trip of it, spending a week with her and a week touring around.  I can't wait to show Jonathan some of the things that I love about BC.

Needless to say, I stopped off at AMA yesterday for some books, maps, etc.  While there, I also picked up some books for my sister, who is going to North Carolina for a couple weeks in Septemeber.  (Willmington to be exact!)  She loves Nicholas Sparks books, as well as the art that is down there.  I am glad for her.  I think she will have a great time.

By the time we walked out of the AMA our hands were loaded with books, maps, etc.  I LOVE the AMA for that reason.  So much stuff!!

Since I am on this book theme, I thought a little bit of a quiz about books would be good.  So, here's one that fits me to a tea.  I am totally Old Fashioned.  No question about that.  Be sure to post your answers!!  Can't wait to see them!!



You Are Old Fashioned




You think that the best things come from the past. You love anything vintage or retro.



You are a generous and compassionate person. You are as responsible and helpful as you can be.



Art excites you. You try to bring it into your everyday life as much as possible.



You're going through a phase where nothing seems particularly interesting to you.

Tuesday Tunes 63: A Classic Love Story

Beauty and the BeastFashion Trends & Styles - Polyvore
My favorite Disney princess movie of all time is Beauty and the Beast.  I love that one.  I love Belle.  She is smart, loves books and wants adventure.  Just like me!!  And she has brown hair.  That is a bonus!  Also the love story is a bit different.  The princess (Belle) saves the prince (Beast).  But I think he saves her, too, from her ultimate fate of marrying Gaston...yuck!

Anyway, I also LOVE this song from Moulin Rouge.  (Especially Ewan McGregor's voice!  So nice and warm!)  So without furthur ado, here's the cute fan video I have found of Beauty and the Beast.  Enjoy!
