Funny Books and Such

Hello Again!

As promised, here are some more life nuggets from last weekend. Saturday was Free Comic Book Day, which happens to be my husband's favorite holiday. Here is a photo of him eyeing the freebies at Outer Limits Comics.

Yea funny books!

We hit up several comic book shops that day, it was an all day kind of adventure. Here is Aron walking up to Rick's Comic City, his eyes gleaming with joy at the .50 sidewalk sale. Free Comic Book day isn't just about the free funny books, it is mostly about the huge sales.

Customers going apeshit on the .50 books. I took one look at this madness and headed down to the thrift store. Aron found ALOT of stuff.

After Rick's Comic City I was HUNGRY! I was craving a Red Robin burger, so we paid them a visit. In case you care, I am wearing an Old Navy Knit dress, Lola-Rocks Clothing cardigan, Betseyville bag, and the silver seashell necklace I can't seem to take off.

Nom, nom, nom. It didn't quite hit the spot, I'm not sure why?

Yea I'm (kind of) full!

Aron just loves having his photo taken.

We visited a few more comic shops, and called it a day. On the last visit, I spotted something creepy and fabulous. The comic shop we visited was next to a custom tire shop, behind the carport, was this creepy, ancient, stuffed panda. Mr. Panda, you scare the shit out of me!

On a blog note, I have started using larger photos via flickr? What do you think?
Hope you are all having a fabulous day!

My Favorite Things: Our Backyard

We had a very busy weekend, which involved Free Comic Book Day, and a viewing of Thor! More on these festivities later this week, I promise.

My Favorite Thing for this Monday is our backyard. When we bought our home back in October, I had no idea how much I would fall in love with this outdoor space. Right beyond the rocks there is a drop that leads to a small creek, and the wooded area lies behind it.

Ahhhhh serenity.....Aron and I ate breakfast on the patio Saturday morning. Is it weird that I am excited about our patio furniture? We found it at Walmart last weekend on sale.

Word of advice; if you are going to go for it and do bagels with cream cheese, please buy the full fat kind. Please. Even the reduced fat stuff I bought tasted like plastic. Of course, I still ate it :)

I'm wearing a cute bow cardigan Lola-Rocks Clothing got in this week. (Lola-Rocks Clothing is my business in case you are wondering). It really is adorable. Also, I put a streak in my hair last week. The main purpose of the bleached streak was to cover the massive gray streak that is forming :)

Our kitty Sebastian likes to join us on the patio, mainly to partake in some yummy grass and greens.
Hope you all have a fabulous week!

A Different Direction

Hello Lovely Readers,

After much contemplation, I've decided I will be be changing things up a bit on my blog. What Lola Wants is currently fashion centric, but from now on it will be more of a personal blog-but not in a TMI sort of way :)

My upcoming posts will focus on family, friends, music, art, and..... fashion. Yes, you will still see my posing with my hand on my hip from time to time, just not on as regular a basis.

I love all my fashoinista blogger friends, I think they are amazing and read their posts daily. But for me personally, I want to change it up a bit. I hope you will stick around to partake in some life nuggets with me.

My Favorite Thing: Woodland Creatures

I've always had a soft heart for animals, all animals. My favorites tend to be woodland creatures; bunnies, deer, and so on.

One of the rad things about living in Tennessee is that you're surrounded my wild nature. Even in our subdivision, which is quite populated, there is a little patch of wood that the animals still live in. Fortunately, that patch of wood is right behind our back yard.

Yesterday morning I was taking a shower and I hear Aron say "Adrienne, get out of the shower now." He leads me to out bedroom window and there is a deer to the left of our house, nibbling on the grassy hill. Here are some pics Aron managed to capture.

There is also a brown bunny that hops around and visits different yards. Here is a blurry iPhone pic of him (or her) :)

Hope the photos of animal cuteness brightened your Monday a bit!
