One year ago, at this time, I was still Ashley Michele Brody.
After 11 o ‘clock, I legally became Ashley Brody Vaughn.
Happy Anniversary Andy. It’s been the best year, and I hope each one continues this trend we’ve got going 🙂
Today Andy called in sick…hehe. We finally got a chance to go see Hurricane on the Bayou in IMAX. It was a 40 minute documentary about the gulf wetlands being destroyed, and how Hurricane Katrina affected them. We snuck a few pictures, and they actually turned out pretty neat. Soon there’s going to be an IMAX National Geographic movie called The Mysteries of Egypt. I can’t wait for that.

While driving home after the movie, there was a nice fog patch hovering over Monte Sano so we decided to go play in the clouds.

Ryan Hickman, of Huntsville Times and GO! Magazine contacted Vertical House a few weeks ago. He’s interested in doing a full article on us…eee! In last week’s issue he posted a blurb about the record store’s hours.
I found a collection of these postcards about flappers and I couldn’t pass them up. There are about 20 different ones.
And the best find of the day was my new kitchen. Andy and I had been gathering quotes over the past month or so to try to find the perfect cabinets. I want(ed) them to look as if each was it’s own piece of furniture. There’s really only a 5X9 linear space that needed bottom cabinets…there’s windows all around, so no upper cabinets. However, the price quotes I was getting was up around $3,000. Fuck that. So, I decided I wanted to find antique pieces and fit them together to make a kitchen space. And so began the search. And so ended the search at Packard’s Antiques where I found the perfect set. Not to mention the perfect price – all three for $1200.
…Now to just get the insulation in, the walls up, and the floors finished. Thanksgiving is still my goal. And oh how great it will be to (hopefully) prepare the meal in a new kitchen.
Andy’s first time having BBQ in 10+ years. It was awesome. My mom has also just recently began eating meat again after 20+ years. BBQ and beer. It was great.
I.love.this.place…and tiny white flowers.
I found out ‘bunny flowers’ were real flowers, and not weeds. They are in the last photo in the above series. And we met a lizard friend:
The hanging basket greenhouse was my favorite. It was perfect in there.

Crash Boom Bang Theatre presents The Bhagavad Meat Loaf.
The definitive fictional account of the true fake story behind one of the best selling rock-n-roll albums of all time, Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell.” It is the tale of a small-town rocker’s odyssey from obscurity, to chart-topping heavy-weight and beyond. The Bhagavad Meat Loaf is a glowing tribute to one of rock’s most misunderstood and maligned figures. Love him or hate him, you won’t want to miss a second of his fantastic journey to the depths of despair and back again. For his journey is really our own. Come rock with us, won’t you?
Pre-sale tickets available at Crash Boom Bang or Vertical House.
