Candlesticks, when placed in the freezer for a few hours [or days], will not drip. We proved this theory tonight.

I know these search posts have grown kind of tired…but this one is just…just…wow. Absolutely hilarious.
That’s helpful, thank you.
Our first day back in Alaska was a cold one to say the least! This is the temperature around 11:00am. Notice also how not light it is. That’s because up here, the sun comes up around 10 and sets around 3:10, though it started getting dark yesterday around 1:15 (remember THAT next time yer bitching about it being dark when you leave work at 5!)
It didn’t quite feel as cold as you would think. Sure once the cold hits your lungs you cough a little bit, but I wasn’t freezing; I’ve been much colder in NYC when it was sleeting and 25 above zero. It’s true what they say, it’s a dry cold. And sure I was bundled up in an 800 fill ankle length down coat, mittens, a hat, a neck warmer and a pair of long underwear under my jeans, but that’s what everybody wears when they run errands around town right?
The weirdest part of the day for me was the constant fear that my car wasn’t going to start. ‘Round here all the stores have power supply in the parking lots, and all our cars have plugs. Since I haven’t lived here that long nor been here when it’s 25 below, I’m not sure of all the guidelines for when and when not to plug in your car. So every time we would run into a store I’d be worried that my poor car would freeze to death while we were in there. But it never did. And by the time we were done with all our errands it had warmed up to about 18 below, which is “too warm” to warrant plugging in your car.
Life here is different to say the least. But it’s an adventure.
For as long as I can remember (or since I started paying attention to interior design) I have coveted these chairs. Now that I have a house, I finally have space in which to put said chairs. And not only do I have a house and space, but I have an island/counter in which to use them at. Imagine my DELIGHT when I learned they sell them in two heights: bar and counter stool heights. Pictures to follow when they arrive…
While I was away for the last month, at some point my tumblr anniversary (tumblrversary?) came & went. To celebrate, I changed my theme. Enjoy.
It’s undecided whether or not we’re going to get an actual tree this year since we’re going to be away for Christmas, but I definitely am getting into this whole home owner thing and want to decorate for the holidays somehow. This idea is not only adorable but super easy; we are not lacking for trees in Alaska that’s for sure.
Ryan took this shot one day while we were wandering around Japan shooting photos. I love it enough to make it my new avatar for tumblr and twitter.
