I Know She'd Want Me To Blog This.

Poser the Squirrel

He is such a poser. Someone saw me taking pictures of him and said that he let her take a picture of him last week. At least he didn't jump on me. Although I was ready to switch to video if he did.

He took a step towards me on that last picture. My friend squeaked and I nearly peed in my pants.

Thank Yous

• Thank you for my family.
• Thank you for my creativity.
• Thank you for nearby gas stations.
• Thank you for not encouraging that squirrel to jump on me yesterday when I kept taking his photo.

Elysium

This picture over at chromasia has the most calming effect on me.

As Glenn so Clearly Voiced for Howl This Morning:

"I was locked in with her! And then she did something! And it was stinky!"

Ask Me

What do you want to know? Ask in the comments and I'll answer you there.

Fences

Not sure why, but fences have always fascinated me. These are from my walk on Saturday morning.

Taking a Weekend Then Giving Back Monday

• Taking 60 pictures on Saturday morning.
• Getting creative on some postcards.
• Walking around the neighborhood and realizing that everyone else also let their front yards go because it's just been too hot out to mow.
• Four Cats and One Box Video.

(I know you were here!)

Craving Woes

All that I want for lunch is that bag of chips and tub of dip that is at home.

Girls Know How to Party

Very Ladylike

A great color scheme thru out the building.

Cute sockies.

Thankfully, no advertisements.

Sophie

For a little over a year someone has made my day a little sweeter. Mostly because she lets me dink her nose.

A Picture I Love and Wanted to Share

This was taken in Italy, Epcot, Disney World.

Ambitious? Just You Wait!

This morning I already drove to Wal-mart in rush hour traffic, got kitty litter, drove home, refilled and refreshened the box, and still made it to work on time. Can I get a 'Booyeah'?

Oygle

The ragweed has come. You can't even snort when you laugh in fear of little pieces of snot flying out and hitting someone.

Last Night's Yelp

The good news is that I still have my pinkie.

And the laundry has been done.

Ask the Readers...

• Apparently there are a lot of people out there that name their animals after artists. Did you?
• Do you have a favorite artist? One of mine is Albrecht Durer. Another is Edward Gorey. I'm all about the lines!
• Have you ever gone to a museum that you wanted to stay in all day and night until you were the only one there? Did you ever want to spend eight hours just staring at one painting?
• What's your favorite book? One of mine is "Violin" by Anne Rice. Another is "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin.

Capital T and that Rhymes with P...

• Discovering that today is free food day: as in cookies, cream cheese cakes, brownies, watermelon, quesidillas, coke, popcorn, pizza, etc.
• Sexy harem jitsu.
• Finding yet another way to pimp out a crafty friend. I'm a mad, maaad woman.

• Getting to make ten postcards.
• A possible museum trip.
• Watching your friend's face light up when she finds a $5 bill on the ground.

What's scarrier than Christopher Walken?

Christopher Walken as a clown.

Bubbles are still there

I discovered a bunch of "old" pictures that were never scanned in. Here's the first one.

More Pictures from Shimmy Fest

The fabulous Miss Shanna. I met about ten women that were in love with her.

Glenn knows what makes me happy.

I want to put these three in a frame.

I can't wait for the DVD to arrive. Oh yeah, and next year? We're dancing to "Thriller". How hard can it be to learn how to moonwalk?

Happiness is...

• Requesting catalogs and free samples.
• Writing possibilities.
• Re-framing with new pictures.
• Long hours of cuddling.
• Pictures in the mail.

The Pig Goes *snort snort*

• Seventy-two hours of watching "Naruto" with Glenn can't be wrong.
• Discovering that Sophie also enjoys watching "Naruto."
• Gene Simmons is a clutz.

I'm Curious

Does anyone have any beauty secrets out there? Like brushing your hair one hundred times per night, or only using Pond's cold cream, or eating lots of pasta? I've never kept any growing up, except shaving my arm pits.

Me as a pirate.

Starting the Weekend Off Right

All it takes to make him proud of me is unhooking the DVD player and hooking the cable back in.

Snow-Bound: A Winter Idyll by John Greenleaf Whittier

One of my favorite poems, and I remember it from this one part of a line:

"Boys, a path!"

The Kitty Cat Song from G-Shack

No other reason than:

P.F.M.!

When You Are Satisfied a.k.a. FUDGE MONKEY!!!

Winter has come early this year.
I didn't expect it so damn soon.
No wood for the fire and my axe is dull.

Talk to me of rainbows and puppies and violets.
The sun shines warm on dried grass and ivory fences.
Get up! Smile! Everything is just shiny.

Things I Wish Grew On Sidewalks

• cherries - so that they squished beneath your feet and when you go inside of building there would be red footprints everywhere.
• licorice - it would grow like weeks in the cracks.
• sequins - all sidewalks would be shiny and irridescent, you'll be walking with jazz hands in no time!
• Quilted Northern Bath Tissue.

From Above

Know what goes good with stress eating?

• stress excercising
• stress crafting
• and stress cleaning.
• Oh, and watching the diva perform from 5th Element.

On the Adorability of Howl

The blow up mattress was rolled up and standing in the corner of the room as of 11am. By 11:30am it had slid and fell on the floor in an s-shape. Howl walks into the room and stops. His ears, eyes and whiskers focus intently on the black rubbery form in the corner of the room. He leans as close to is as possible without moving his backlegs. At one point...someone...picked up Howl and put him on top of the shape. Like a spring, Howl bounced from the object to the other side of the room. Where he continued to give all of his intention to this intruder. At one point, someone else puts him on top of his tent tower so that he can survey the mattress from on high. But, when he jumps off, his tower falls ONTO THE MATTRESS!!! SOMEONE SAVE HIS TOWER!!!

Finally, the mattress is picked up and put away in the closet. Howl sees this but does not believe it is gone. He continues to check out that spot for the next hour. Then, he starts asking for sympathy. He comes in and mews, asking for comfort. I pick him up and put him under the covers, where he sulks, then eventually comes to the top for a long nap. By that afternoon, his tent tower has taken the spot of the mattress, and he is still wary that it might have snuck into the lower platform. Like a good little soldier, he keeps a look out for the rest of the night before going back on it.

Mmm...cupcakes
