I have had the opportunity to work with Ryan and the amazing team at Chrisland for many years now, both professionally and personally in the community. Their vision to move Northern Colorado forward is second to none. Chrisland continues to be about the relationship and not just the individual transaction. The best part is that they are just great people who will do what is right for their clients and invest back into the Northern Colorado community.MIKE RADCLIFFSENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF NORTHERN COLORADO, FirstBank
The process purchasing our building could not have been any smoother, given the complexities on the seller's side. Both Jake and Ashley we're 3 steps ahead of everything and at no point in the process did I feel they were unprepared, running behind, or not giving my deal the attention I felt
it deserved (even though it was not a large deal).
We worked with both Jake and Ashley to complete our deal in the busy Fort Collins market. Both of them went above and beyond our highest expectations in providing their insight, analysis and detail management. At every decision, we were provided with sound advise, options and potential outcomes. Could not recommend them enough.MILES KAILBURNCEO/FOUNDER, Old Town Media (OTM)
Jake's attention to detail, prompt and knowledgeable communication, and preemptive document redlines has earned Jake our utmost respect and appreciation. Ashley demonstrated competent support and promptly responded to any question or concern. We will use this team again.CHARLENE BAILEYDIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE & ASSET MANAGEMENT, The Erie County Investment Co.
We have had the pleasure of working with Ryan and Jake on several land purchases over the past four years. Chrisland's market insight, professionalism, and hard work on our behalf are always well appreciated.DAN BERLINOWNER, Rodelle Vanilla
Chrisland Companies has been a tremendous business partner, consultant and site selection expert for us for the past 10+ years. The team they have built has extensive knowledge of both the northern Colorado region, as well as the national trends of real estate and new business that may soon make its way to the region. Chrisland spends a considerable amount of time, money and energy to understand the marketplace from every angle to give the most educated advice and guidance available in northern Colorado. The area that I most respect and appreciate in my relationship with Chrisland is the complete honesty and integrity every individual in the company provides. To know that not only do they have my best interests at heart, but they are doing it the right way, for the right reasons every time. Chrisland treats my business and advise for business decisions and negotiations as seriously as if it were their own business. I wouldn't have wanted another company in northern Colorado to represent my company the past for the past 10+ years.STEVE LAUERAWARD WINNING RESTAURATEUR, Qdoba, TCBY, Subway, numerous de novo restaurants
Chrisland has been a beneficial partner for Home State Bank for many years, helping find, buy, sell and lease property. We have found them to be knowledgeable, professional, and we love working with people that we can trust.MARK BOWERFORMER CFO, Home State Bank
Chrisland was retained by us early in the planning stages of 2534 for their unique qualifications as both commercial real estate brokers and consultants to advise us on the planning of our 500-acre master planned community. Without their expert advice and knowledge of commercial real estate, 2534 would not be what it is today. As our commercial broker, Chrisland has been instrumental in attracting high value buyers such as the Northern Colorado Rehab Hospital, Aerate Surgery Center, High Country Beverage and Swire/Coca-Cola. These buyers have created a synergy for both medical and high end employment users. Chrisland has also helped Gerrard Companies by locating other, user-matched properties and by analyzing potential real estate opportunities. Over the years Chrisland has earned our trust and respect as one of the premier commercial real estate brokers in northern Colorado.GARY GERRARDOWNER, Gerrard Companies
Chrisland helped us sell a Berthoud development property and I could not be more pleased with their efforts and the results. Ryan and Jake were extremely well versed in the local market conditions and provided excellent communication throughout the transaction. Love the monthly reports, and also just generally on top of things – great attention to both big picture and detail. I look forward to working with them again soon.CAMERON GRANT & LARRY JACOBSONPROPERTY OWNERS, Bader Farm (Berthoud, CO)
Northwestern Mutual has worked with the Chrisland Team for many years. Their professionalism, quality of service, and follow through has been fantastic. We have been very pleased with our office leasing transactions and would very much recommend them as one of the premier commercial brokers in Northern Colorado.RYAN YODERMANAGING DIRECTOR/WEALTH MANAGEMENT ADVISOR, Northwestern Mutual
My experience with Andy Smith at Chrisland far exceeded my expectations. Andy was a true professional and helped us find the perfect location for our business. I felt like Andy was definitely looking out for our best interests and was always available to answer any questions we had with his expert advice. His industry knowledge and vast network of contacts helped us find a space and sign a lease sooner than we ever thought possible. I would definitely recommend Andy and Chrisland in the future.DAVID GEBHARTCO-OWNER, Loyalty Liquors
Chisland Companies and Andy Smith did a top-notch job helping us find the right office, despite our unique needs. I recommend them both without hesitation.JON THOMPSON SENIOR PARTNER, Blue Margin

Leaders of Antietam Bible College expect their new location in Hagerstown could allow enrollment to more than double.
After a summerlong renovation project was completed, the only biblical seminary and graduate school in the Tri-State area relocated to 15 High St. in the former Sunday school space at First Baptist Church.
"We're trusting that God will help us to really grow," college President George L. Rundle said before joining school founder and chancellor William H. Freed Jr. and Hagerstown Mayor Robert E. Bruchey II on Friday for a ribbon cutting for the 5,500-square-foot space.
With a current enrollment of 35 students, Rundle said the additional space could allow growth to as many as 100 students.

The already circus-like race for New York governor just went from one ring to three.
Independent Kristin Davis, the former New York madam, is now calling out Democrat Andrew Cuomo for not taking a stronger stance for gay rights.
"It's outrageous that New York has not legalized same-sex marriage," Davis says in a new ad. "Andrew Cuomo says he supports it, but when the marriage equality bill was before the Senate, he was asked to call three undecided Democratic senators and declined. A vote for me sends a strong message to Cuomo: we demand gay marriage now."
She ends the ad with a catchy phrase: "Vote homo, not Cuomo."
According to ABC News, the line is a play off a campaign slogan used by some supporters of Andrew's father Mario in the 1977 New York mayoral election against Ed Koch: "Vote for Cuomo, not the homo." The reference was meant to advance rumors about Koch's sexuality.

Ten Frowns and One Smile
I think as humans, we all go through phases where another fellow being's mood can affect us profoundly. In the ER, especially, the spectrum of moods can vary from unbridled elation to haunting despair. Between the staff, the patients, and their support systems, emotional investments can change on the dime. Another's pain can become your pain, another's happiness your happiness. And, whether we want it to or not, another's foul mood can run rampant among us, it's contagious, sticky fingers grabbing on to us and not letting go.
Sometimes, if we are lucky, the foul mood may slink right off us, heaping itself into a useless pile on the ground. A pile we can kick out of the way or, at a minimum, step over and continue on our way.
Typically, I am an upbeat guy. And recently, despite a crazy work schedule and my daughter heading to Australia and the death of a beloved aunt, I still feel good. Even more so than I would expect. It's hard to beat me down. Maybe it's attitude. Maybe it's being overworked and sleep-deprived to the point where the little shit stays little. Maybe it's getting frequent reminders of compassion and kindness by my fellow man. Maybe it's the sunshine. I don't know, really. What I do know, though, is that I am currently being buffered by all that is negative and I wish I held the secret as to why. Bottle it right up and ship it to the store shelf.
Recently, in the midst of yet another crazy, fast-paced shift in the ER, I felt like maybe I had found the answer. What was it? Simply that my fuel tank could be filled with one, and only one, high octane smile.
That day in the ER, the collective mood of the patients seemed to be that of anger, draped by the curtains of bitterness and frustration. No matter where I looked, I was greeted with the tortured faces of waiting patients. Smiling, it seemed, had been banned. Cots lined the hallways, waiting chairs were filled, and family members paced the hallway as if encouraging us to step into their treatment room. Of course, I'm sure waiting four hours to be seen played some small part. Some of the staff had, unfortunately, been affected by this cloud of misery. Others among us, despite the glaring looks and several obnoxious, open remarks by waiting patients and their families, continued to smile and diligently go forward with providing care.
I walked into Room 20 to see my next patient, a tall fellow in his retirement years, returning to the ER for a second visit in three days. Following one of my partner's discharge instructions, he had returned for worsening abdominal pain. "You're going to like this guy, Jim," his nurse had told me in the nurses' station just minutes earlier.
Walking into the room, I immediately sensed what the nurse had hinted at. I was greeted by the patient's huge heartfelt smile, despite him stoically gripping his abdomen (from pain, I presumed). His wife, sitting in the corner, wore a smile that matched that of her husband's. "Hello, doctor," they both said with a nod of their heads as I introduced myself, "thank you for seeing us." Their appreciation appeared genuine.
The patient, despite his own four hour wait and discomfort, was very gracious in his demeanor. "Doctor," he continued, "I didn't want to come back, but the pain seems to be getting worse. I know you have sicker people than me to deal with, but I appreciate you taking your time to treat me." How can you not like someone like this?
He recapped his abdominal pain complaints for me, from when it started to the present. It was apparent that he was probably having a worsening exacerbation of his diverticulitis. After an exam, we ordered the appropriate tests, including a CT scan of his abdomen. We gave him IV fluids and IV antibiotics as well as some pain medication.
Waiting for the results, with a backlog of filled-rooms and no place to put new patients, I used my rare, spare minutes to recheck several of my patients, saving this patient for last. Finally, walking back into the room, I was greeted with the same big smiles. Although the patient's smile may have been a touch loopier than his last one (from the morphine-derivative), his wife's smile was just as genuine as previously. And contagious. I couldn't help but smile back.
"How can you still be smiling with all that's going on out there?" the wife asked me. I explained that it was much easier to return a smile and kindness when it is shared with you. "Well," she continued, "I hope my son knows how to smile when he is having a day like this, too."
"What does your son do, maam?" I asked.
"Oh, he's an ER physician in Alabama. I can only hope," she continued, "that we raised him right and he remembers to smile when he is having a chaotic day. It's funny, but whenever I picture him working, it's always in a slow-paced, clean, brightly-lit ER. Not anything like the day your ER seems to be having today."
I assured her that, for the most part, our days are not typically this chaotic. And, I thought to myself, if smiles were genetic, then there was no way in hell that this couple's son would do anything but smile when facing a stressful day.
I talked a few minutes longer with the both of them, filling up my energy tank off their smiles and good-naturedness. Prior to excusing myself from their company, the husband briefly dozed off. Remarkably, he was still smiling in his sleep. "How the heck does he do that?" I asked his wife.
She shook her head and laughed. "He smiles all the time. If he isn't smiling, something is seriously wrong. His calm nature and smiles are the reason I said "yes" to him forty years ago." I thought back to how he had greeted me, despite having obvious pain, with that big smile of his.
As I walked out of their room, I looked up the hallway. Scowling faces greeted me in the waiting chairs. I looked down the hallway. Scowling faces greeted me from the cots lining the wall. I looked intently at the face of the nurse passing me as I stepped into the hallway. Her frustrations were obvious. I turned and looked back into the room I had just stepped out of. The patient was still napping. And still smiling. His wife was watching me watching her, a small wave of her hand accompanying her continued smile.
I smiled back. And I felt the needle of my gas tank pass "full".
What makes some people react to a situation with misery versus reacting with a smile and good energy? Eternal smilers, so to speak? Yes, I recognize that for some patients in the ER, the misery is understandable and situational and unique--whether from pain or frustration or impatience. Heck, even we get frustrated and impatient from the emergency department's flow, despite giving it our all. And yes, I know the answer to my question is not simple and is individual. I know the answer may be complex and multi-faceted. Even recently, though, at several local graduation parties, I was able to observe how happy, laughing, optimistic people tend to gravitate towards one another, while non-smiling, serious or pessimistic people tend to "sit at the same table".
Which table are you sitting at? And why? And are you happy with your seating arrangements?
Me? Well, you can give me ten frowns and one smile and, like Wonder Woman with her deflecting bracelets, the frowns will bounce off me. The smile, however, will be absorbed, internally feeding my soul.
Keep the ten frowns. And give me one big smile.
As always, big thanks for reading. Emma update--day 8 of 17 in Australia and loving every minute of it. Just jumped a plane from Sydney to Darwin where amazing wildlife and nature beckon her. Thank you to all who sent your well-wishes and prayers to Emma and our family. Next post will be Thursday or Friday...

I am laughing because I just posted something about me always finding the funny in things and annoying people because they think I'm not taking things seriously enough.
In my opinion it is just as easy to smile as it is to frown and it feels much better too.

Wow. This is difficult.
But things can and do go wrong in the ER. I was in Colorado and my daughter was in Texas. I don't know if I'd be smiling to be honest.
I knew my daughter was very ill and no one was paying attention. I think it was because they (ER) was overwhelmed that day.
My daughter was at ER for 9 hours waiting. Just waiting. I asked her to go outside and call 911 so she could be admitted that way. Would it have worked? I don't know. She refused. It was chaotic at the teaching hospital she was at.
ER was FULL of people with sniffles, kids needing stitches and the like. You know.
When she finally got in, she was admitted and it was very late at night.
Only 3-4 hours later she crashed... and was put on a ventilator. She went into multiple organ failure and died ten days later.
I want to return and scream. Not smile.
I do see your point. I do. But if I am ever in the ER with my son I will not be so patient...forgive me....

I want to be at your table too!
I had a professor who once told us to have empathy and not sympathy...he also told us that if we couldn't walk in to each and every patient's room and truly want to be there, we were choosing the wrong profession.
I'm smiling with you.

I will admit, I'm one of those pessimistic, frowning people. In the last year or so, I've become more aware of it and the words that leave my mouth. More recently, I've seen the ripples a smile makes and try to put one on when things aren't going so well.
Over the weekend, I was standing in the front row of a concert. The sun was beating down on my cowboy hat, the worship leader praising God twenty feet in front of me, and my arms were raised. I opened my eyes just long enough to see the photographer's lens pointed straight at me. I smiled (bigger?). God hit me. "Why are you only smiling because the camera's pointed at you? There are hundreds of people around, some of them watching you. Smile."
Glad to hear Emma's enjoying herself.

I am an upbeat person who tends to smile a lot (in fact I just smiled at the woman who bumped into my car twice today; she was old and I felt bad for her), but I am extremely vulnerable to moods in the room. If someone is angry, upset, distant or whatever bad emotion is showing I pick it up immediately and it brings me right down too. I hate it, as it can make my life hard, especially when you have to work with chronically miserable or, worse, anxious and stressed people. So, I would be bad at your job... I am terrible at deflecting!
Hope you daughter is having a great time in Australia. It is brave of you guys to let her go, but she will appreciate it greatly and demonstrate doubled responsibility.

Hi Dr Grumpy!
Just wanted to say how lovely all of your posts are, i have been reading your blog for a while now and have loved every one of them. But what got me out of the closet today to post a comment was that i actually live right here in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia! =D I had no idea that Emma's school trip would include a trip to the Top End (most people stick to down south) and was very excited to hear that she is now up here! I hope she has the time of her life while in Australia and enjoys my beautiful part of the world too =]

I'm glad you had a cheerful patient on an otherwise gloomy day. Your post reminds me of an incident that happened to me many years ago-I had a job that I truly hated, managing a small gas station. I was having a horrible day and I was truly miserable, until a car pulled in that was loaded with several kids laughing and playing in the car. Suddenly all their heads ducked down and when they came back up they were all wearing purple pom pom noses and dangling earrings! It still makes me laugh.

I'm with you ..the eternal smiler.
It's my nature. Even when things are difficult.

Great ..uplifting post.
You made me smile.,, even right now ..smiling. :)

7 months WHAT!?
I know, usually this is on a 6 month interval type thing. But at 6 I wasn't quite as sad as I am now at 7 months looking at how big my baby has become.
Also, I have a little confession and I hope that someone out there is with me?!?
Since we decided that this is our last baby I have been such a mess watching him grow. Plus I seriously think I became addicted to taking pregnancy tests. I have never taken more than I have since having this little guy.
I don't know if it's like secretly I hope it's going to say yes, or if I am just scared to death of getting pregnant again, either way I just don't get it. I am happy and sad. Henry now will only sleep in his bed, he doesn't want anything to do with me while he is asleep and kicks and whines until you take him back to his bed. So that's nice. I have my bed back. But some little part of me doesn't want this to be my last. Maybe it's just because right now I am soaking in all the baby goodness of this sweet handsome chunk we have. Maybe it's because I am only 26 and I am done. DONE having kids. It's weird to think that part of me is over, when most of my friends didn't start until they were 26 or older.
I know eventually I will be more at ease with my three perfect humans being my only. But they're just all so dang cute I could just make more and more and more.
Well, I'm going to go sulk a little and hold this tubba as often as I can. I may babywear him until he goes to kindergarten so just don't judge me.
Here's some cute pictures of the chunk. His big sister ( who just turned 6, I know shoot me) made a cameo in there too!
P.S. I may really need to start working again, or this blogging thing may get obnoxious.
Those eyes just melt me right down to the core!

Odeur Clothing
Odeur was founded in Stockholm in 2006 as a brand experiment, using a specific white, light and clean scent instead of a visual logotype to label the graphic and dramatic, yet playful garments. The first collection included a few t-shirt styles that where distributed amongst a few initial clients in Sweden and Japan. Today Odeur is designed by Petter Hollström and Gorjan Lauseger and has spread to 17 countries, selling jeans, outerwear, accessories and fashion clothing. Besides the main label, the designer duo also produces a jersey line called ODR and Odeur Artefacts, which is a line of leather accessories.
There are no products matching the selection.

New Delhi: Putting up a brave front, BJP on Thursady asserted the Harish Rawat government remains in a minority and it will be proved on 29 April when it takes the floor test, after the Uttrakhand High Court restored the Congress government, revoking the President's rule.
The party, whose plans to form a government in the state came to naught following the court order, also questioned the judgement and said it was not surprised by it going by the strong observations being made by the Division Bench for the last three days.
"We are not surprised by the judgement. With the kind of observations being made for the three days by the court, such an order was expected. There is a question on our mind as Chief Minister Harish Rawat, who was caught in a sting, has been given relief by the court.
"The Harish Rawat government was in a minority yesterday, it is in a minority today and tomorrow. It will be proved on 29 April" party General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya told reporters.
He has been handling the Uttarakhand affairs since the political upheaval began there. Noting that the case of nine rebel Congress MLAs against their disqualification will come up for hearing before another bench of the high court on 28 April, he wondered if the Division Bench's order had not "prejudiced" their case.
Out of the 61 MLAs in the state Assembly, excluding nine disqualified Congress MLAs and the Speaker, both Congress and BJP have 27 MLAs each while six MLAs belong to smaller outfits, who have been supporting the Rawat government.
There is also a nominated member in the House. BJP is in touch with some of the six MLAs, sources said, as it works overtime to swell the numbers on its side. Party leaders also said the Centre is likely to move the Supreme Court and a direction from the apex court can change the situation.
BJP chief Amit Shah, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley also met following the court's order and are learnt to have deliberated on its implications and the options before the party and the government.
With the court's order being seen as a major blow to the Centre, Vijayvargiya claimed it was not an embarrassment to either the government or the party.
"There were strong reasons for the imposition of the President's rule," he said, adding it was for the Centre to appeal against the order in the apex court.
Referring to some of the court's observations, including its assertion that even the President can go wrong and his decision was open to judicial review, he said it is for all to decide if such remakrs were "dignified or undignified."

Evelyn Stone Holland Designer Jewelry and Music
|Willard Stone Jewelry Collection is created and designed by Evelyn using designs from both original wood sculptures or sketches by her father. This collection was born out of Evelyn's desire to have a quality product, moderately priced for those who may be unable to purchase the limited edition bronzes of her late father's work. It was very important to her for the names and stories, or symbolism, in each piece be made available with each piece of jewelry. Each piece is totally handcrafted and finished with either satin/diamond cut work, or polished to a beautiful silver finish. On some pieces she uses semi-precious stones to add depth and color. Jewelry designs are available in Necklace,
Evelyn Stone Holland wrote and sings each and every song on her CD which is titled "Oh Great Spirit". With the sale of each CD and Cassett comes a little book with the story behind each song and why it was written. They truly are songs of the spirit. A few of the titles are "He Saw the Masterpiece", "New Covenant Blood", and "From Tradition to Truth". There are 10 songs in all. $15.00

I know people follow this occasional blog who have and use Thermos so this is for you.
It is not my recipe so I won't 'steal' it, I will post a link. Just want to say it is so, so simple and absolutely delicious (it's not frugal but it's not outrageous when you think how much good fudge can cost to buy).
I shall be making more for Christmas presents.
Here's the link:
Go on - have a go. Spoil yourself.

For all but a very few exceptions, no – our holidays are for individuals, not groups. This means that you can explore at your own pace, stop for a break whenever you want, start on a date of your choosing, and tailor the holiday to suit you (for example by adding extra nights at any hotel).
No, because we provide you with all the information you'll need (covering transfer details, restaurant recommendations and much, much more) and also because you'll receive a really warm welcome at the hotels, most of which we've worked with for many years. If you have any questions about the local area, or have any problems, they'll be happy to help. You can also, of course, contact the Inntravel office at any time; we provide an out-of-hours helpline for emergencies.
Our policy is not to accept dogs on any of our holidays, even single-centre ones, as there are too many considerations to bear in mind, such as whether taxi firms accept dogs for transfers to the start of walks, whether routes cross private land on which dogs are not allowed, and proximity to a veterinary practice.
Yes, but because you will be exploring entirely independently with the help of detailed route notes, you should be confident at map-reading and ideally have experience of walking or cycling alone (if not, we strongly recommend choosing a holiday which passes through lots of villages, rather than in a remote area).
You should also take the usual precautions such as informing the hotelier of the route you are undertaking that day before setting off, carrying a mobile phone, wearing suitable clothing, and being prepared to turn back if the weather turns foul.
English is widely taught in schools across Europe, so you will often find that hotel staff speak at least a little English, especially in larger towns and cities. In remoter areas where visitors are less common, we recommend taking a phrase book with you; any attempts to speak the local language will be greatly appreciated. If you find yourself completely stuck, you won't be the first of our customers to resort to sign language and mime. Where there's a will, there's a way!
Most European countries use the euro. The exceptions are Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and, of course, the UK.

Well, races are done for the year.
30 races
3 time trials
2 stage races
2 mountain bike races
4 track days
2 wins!
2 more helping Larry
3 more podiums
I probably went a little far with the number of races. I'd like to it be closer to 20, but track racing and stage racing kept things interesting.
My sprint was pretty good and I could put down power where I needed to. My TT definitely needs to improve, and entering more TTs would probably help. My climbing was just good enough that I wasn't in trouble, but that may change in cat 3 races.
The races that really stand out to me are Tour de Parc (duh), Giro di Jersey and Fitchburg (stage racing is fun), and Naugatuck (2 hours of criteriums, 120 miles total). I like the criteriums and I think I'd like to do more next year. Next year I want to use races for training more, too, specifically the 1/2/3 Prospect Park races and the weekday track races.
For now I've been doing a lot of running. 24 miles this week (which, for me, is a lot). More on that later.
OK I lied, there might be one more race this year: anyone interested?
Oct 19, 2009
Seasons over
Well, races are done for the year.

I always want to be a better 'journaler' but I ALWAYS flake. So I've been thinking about posting just really quick snippets to remember so that I may be able to commit to it a little more easily.
Today was such a sweet day. A morning visit my momma, emmie's nana was long overdue and much enjoyed. Emmie is slightly obsessed with her and is stuck to her like glue the entirety of the time she's here. One of my favorite things was that when mom would walk away at all emmie would shout the same string of jibberish at her over and over. I love that she really was trying to tell her something.
|she's picking her nose. i'm sorry.
when Benny got home we got to have family time at the park (she got of practice on the big slide), a music / dance party with poppa on the guitar and then a walk around the neighborhood before bed. Em kicked a kickball up and down our streets and if you know our daughter, this is a BIG deal! Up until like a week ago she would try and hold on to something for balance to pick up her foot and kick. It was so fun to watch her learn to do something new and she was SO excited. 'ball' is one of her few words :)
|hanging dead-weight in the swing for a good few minutes. she's something.
we're in the laundry room because emmie likes to go into rooms by herself, shut the door and lean up against the wall. normally she 'reads' books while she does that. this time she was putting on chapstick. she wouldn't leave the laundry room so in I went. perfect place for commemorative pics right? oh and I don't mean to be in these pics but i'm too lazy to edit them, ignore me.

Playsuit : Thrifted
Belt : Japan
Bag : Gargets Collection
Necklace : Mademoiselle By TiSh
Boots : Thrifted
Bangle & Earrings : Les' Moda
Got inspired from the movie One More Try to named my OOTD for this night. Remember the scene when Angel Locsin is trying to seduce Dingdong Dantes with her shoulder? Haha! Hello hangover? These photos were taken last week at Robinsons Magnolia after Kev and I watched a movie. We had Pepper Lunch, Potato Corner and Happy Lemon! What a good way to start new year right? Haha! How can you refuse when a mall has delectable foods to offer?
Anyhoo, this playsuit and boots are from a thrifted store near CSB-SDA. I didn't know that they have very nice dresses and good vintage finds. You should check 'em out especially if you're from SDA! :)
I always bring this bag nowadays because it's light but it can carry all my things whenever I go out. A girl usually have so much stuffs in a bag and I can't leave the door without having a bag in my hand. This speedy bag is perfect for a Mom like me who's always in a hurry and it's easy to just grab my phone because of the small pockets inside. Who doesn't love a bag with lots of pockets right? For some lovely bags and dresses, why not visit Gargets Collections? :)
For the whole look, I wish to wear this kind of outfit everyday. I feel so fresh and young. Hahaha! :D Hype this on Lookbook! <3

Hello everyone!
Like I mentioned in my last post, I had some time off during Christmas and I was able to make sew a little :) One of my favourite Lolita brands is Victorian Maiden, although I'm not a big fan of their recent dresses. Recently they've been using dark colours, probably because it's winter time... I prefer light, pastel and floral fabrics, and that's why I bought this beautiful floral cotton fabric and I made VM inspired JSK and skirt. Well, dress was planned but the skirt was a total improvisation ^^ I had lots of this fabric left and I decided to make skirt and try a new technique and make 3 tier (or ruffle?) skirt. When I made it, it totally reminded me VM style!
Thank you all for visiting my blog!

It marked the end of a 24-year drought
When England outplayed Australia in the 2010-11 Ashes series, they not only retained the urn they won on home soil about 18 months back, but also ended a barren run.
The triumph marked the end of a 24-year drought, the last English team to win on Australian soil being Mike Gatting's side way back in 1986-87.
While the English triumph wasn't surprising, considering the Aussies had seen their stock go down in the preceding years, it helped banish the demons of a 5-0 whitewash on their previous trip to the southern hemisphere.
Now, as back-to-back Ashes series beckon, the English have grown even more formidable, and the Aussies are on the decline.
The opening Test gets underway at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Thursday, and the home team looks set to complete a hat-trick of triumphs over the arch rival. The last time the English retained the urn on three consecutive occasions was way back in 1956.
Bikash Mohapatra looks back at performances that mattered in the last series, leading to England, under the astute captaincy of Andrew Strauss, rewriting history Down Under.

Pietersen's double at Adelaide was a defining moment
The opening Test at the Gabba (Brisbane) was high-scoring, with the likes of Mike Hussey (195), Brad Haddin (136), Andrew Strauss (110), Alastair Cook (235 not out) and Jonathan Trott (135 not out) making significant contributions.
However, it was from the second Test that the series became exciting.
Turning the tide in England's favour was a usual suspect.
Kevin Pietersen's 227 at the Adelaide Oval was a defining moment. It not only ensured England amassed a whopping 620 for five declared in response to the home team's modest first innings total of 245, but also laid the foundation for an innings victory.
Cook also contributed a valuable 148, but it was KP's knock that laid the foundation for what was eventually a memorable series win.

Johnson helped Australia draw level
The third Test at the WACA (Perth) had an unlikely hero.
It was quite a while since Mitchell Johnson played a starring role for Australia. But on this occasion he delivered, both with the bat and ball.
While he top-scored with 62 in Australia's total of 268 in their first essay, his 6 for 38 kept England's reply down to 187.
Johnson took three more wickets as England were bowled out for 123 in the second innings, helping Australia seal a series-levelling win.

Trott's unbeaten 168 ensured an innings win at MCG
Jonathan Trott was one of England's most consistent performers in the series.
The South Africa-born player's aggregate of 445 was the third best in the series. His most important contribution was in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Having bowled out the home team for a meagre 98, England scored a whopping 513 in response.
Trott led the way with an unbeaten 168, and was involved in a vital 173-run stand for the sixth wicket with Matt Prior (85). The partnership ensured the inevitable.
For the record, the visitors won by an innings and 157 runs.

Cook amassed 766 runs in the series
Alastair Cook was, by far, the best batsman in the series, aggregating a whopping 766 runs (@ 127.66).
While he scored a match-winning double hundred at the Gabba, it was his 189 in the fifth and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) that was crucial.
With England ahead in the series, and having restricted Australia to just 280, the need was for a batsman to take the game away from the hosts. Cook took up the responsibility.
His formidable innings helped England amass 644 in response. The visiting bowlers restricted the hosts to no more than 281 in their second innings.
England won the Test by an innings and 83 runs and sealed a memorable series win on Australian soil.

Anderson picked up 24 wickets in the series
While the likes of Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Prior and even captain Strauss contributed heavily with the bat in the English cause, their bowlers weren't far behind.
The likes of Chris Tremlett, Graeme Swann, Steven Finn and even Tim Bresnan impressed, though it was James Anderson who led the way.
England's strike bowler finished the series as the highest wicket-taker, picking 24 at a measly 26.04.
Anderson's consistent performance ensured England got the upper hand over Australia when it mattered most.

Fiona Apple Opens Up to Jimmy Fallon, Covers Paul McCartney's 'Let Me Roll It'
Fiona Apple doesn't appear in public very often -- even performing concerts is a rarity for her, nevermind sitting down for a chat on a late night talk show -- so the fact that she swung by 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' on Monday night to do both was big news for Apple fans. Even just hearing her speak during her interview was a weird experience -- we swear we don't remember her voice sounding like that.
Apple and Fallon actually had a lot to speak about -- most notably, Apple's infamous breakdown during a 2004 concert at New York's Roseland Ballroom, a gig which Fallon warmed up. He was able to get his guest to talk about it by ever-so-carefully broaching the subject.
"I opened up. I thought I was funny," recalled Fallon, looking back on his warm-up slot. "I did like 10 minutes of comedy, and then I left, and then I watched you up there and the whole thing was ... crazy." So, what happened next?
"The short answer is that I'm a human being and I was reacting to life and I was overwhelmed and I couldn't handle it," Apple responded. "The real, simplest answer is that I started crying and I could not physically stop crying." Regardless of what happened, it doesn't sound like it was the best of times for her.
"Gosh, I was worried," Fallon added later. "I was worried about you, pal."
"I was worried about me, pal, too," added Apple, adorably.
Following her interview, Apple came back to perform 'Anything We Want' from her new album, 'The Idler Wheel,' with backing from the Roots. Later, she ran through 'Let Me Roll It' with the Roots (in tribute to Paul McCartney, as it was his 70th birthday) -- which the Melvins also recently covered -- as a bonus performance for web viewers only. Check out both performances and her interview below.
