Another project, but it's something I love

I LOVE thrifting. While was out at my favorite shop the other day I decided on another project. I was looking through the brick and brack section and found the dishes section. I was thinking how cool it would be to have mismatched fine china instead of registering for it when I got married one day. I asked Zach, potential husband, what he thought about it. He loved the idea, or rather supported another ridiculous project of mine. So I began. I bought a few pieces that day. I plan on setting up 10-12 place settings with all different patterns, not one alike. Zach thinks this is a little excessive to not have even two matching dishes, but he thinks that of all my projects. I will gather from thrift stores, antique stores, yard sales, and from friends or family getting rid of some. I love to know that there are stories behind each set. Someone in love years and years ago decided to register for a specific pattern. So here are the few that I have found so far.

Soooooo busy

Well not really....it's just work. On my off time though, once cleaning and grocery shopping is done, I take time to work on my movie project and catch up on tv shows. I am currently continuing my addictions of Grey's, Private Practice, Desperate Housewives, Glee, the Bachelor, and Brothers and Sisters. How sad is all that? I am also working on my movie project. This weekend I am going to see Tron and True Grit. I spent the cold day inside watching Across the Universe and Seven Wives for Seven Brothers. I am completely behind on photo stuff, but I did finally finish the engagement photos of Christina and Justin. And here are some of those:

Is she really a boy?

I have been working on my Oscar project: watching all the Oscar Movies, and lately there have been a few Hilary Swank movies. She is a great actress really, but mostly when she is portraying a male. She won for Boys Don't Cry where she cross dressed, was raped repeatedly for doing so, and then was killed in the end for being who she thought she was inside-a boy. Then of course in Million Dollar Baby she was a manly woman training to be a fighter. She died at the end of this movie as well, so maybe the movies she wins Oscars for are the ones that eliminate her in the end. Anyhow, those were both phenomenal movies despite the overwhelming sadness. Sorry I may have spoiled the endings for you all, but they are still worth seeing at least once.
