poor girl's canopy bed

The canopy is made of the dust ruffle with the flat middle fabric cut off; then it's thumbtacked to the ceiling, creating the look of a canopy bed!

I have a poor girl's canopy bed & I really love it! It makes me feel like a Princess!

hot air balloon

A conveyance consisting of a sturdy large basket that can hold 4 or more people & is propelled up into the air by a gas burner. They go over 10,000 feet in elevation!

That hot air balloon was really thrilling to ride in & they're awesome to see!

ramping up

To excessively increase one's efforts. This can be good or bad.

When he started ramping up, I knew it was time to beat feet & get the Hell outta there! Whilst at the concert, we started ramping up as the fevered pitch of hearing Kickass Rock Music really got our adrenaline going!
