Blog name change and a little update...

So my year of pictures was...unsuccessful. I actually did take a bunch of pictures but just never found the motivation to put them in here. They weren't good anyway....
So here I am...a new name to make it more generic and broad. Because who doesn't like things generic and broad? The "thing" these days is to blog and to name your blog after your last name. I've seen some pretty neat blog titles with people using their last names. I know someone with the last name Boboth and her popular blog is called "The Boboth Blogoth" pretty clever huh? Then there's Erica Tweet with "It's a Tweet Life After All!". Well aren't those convenient names! I grew up with Ekhoff which there is no way to make a creative blog title from that. And now I'm an Adams. So naturally..the Addams Family was what I thought of when thinking of a clever play on my last name. Sure they have an extra D in there...but we are fairly similar...

We LOVE dead things. Whether it be meat or zombies..we do not shy away from the morbid. When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher sure but what I really wanted to be was a homicide detective. My hero was Detective Munch from Homicide: Life on the Street. I also originally wanted to be a forensic scientist but my not-so-natural knack in chemistry told me to do otherwise. And to this day, my dream job would be a coroner. So I may not be cutting off the heads of roses but I do have a few dried/dead roses in a vase...so who knows. Plus, we could totally pull off the Morticia and Gomez look...

Us on our first Halloween married, the costume choice was obvious to us.

 

 

I'm not sure what this blog will contain. Because here's a quick update of our very exciting life.
1.) I'm addicted to my netflix. And...they're alphabetized. It totally plays to my neurotic, to-do list, ocd side. I love that there's order to it :) So I spend my days getting through that.
2.) I'm also addicted to reading. I have a library card now and have been reading like a mad woman (in between working, watching my netflix, watching my beloved TV, playing with my dog, and hanging out with my awesome husband).
3.) Brand has also been reading. Our X-box is broken so he's been reading...a lot....
BUT
4.)We did go to my dream vacation spot to Ireland in March and it was beyond amazing. I hope to post about how meaningful it was to me. And how I can't stop craving Guinness and Irish tea.

I'm excited to write. I like writing. I'm not good at it. But now that I don't have the guidelines of this picture ordeal, I can write about whatever I want. Movies I've seen, books I'm reading, shows I'm addicted to (Parenthood and Parks and Rec for example), oh and my oh so important opinions on Dancing with the Stars. Maybe I'll throw in some heartwarming stories that are seeping from my bleeding heart.
