Photobooth Friday 2-23--07

It has been awhile...


First, thanks everyone for such sweet Valentine's Day wishes. We had a nice one and we are gearing up for hubby's birthday next week now that the day of love has come and gone.

I decided to take a week off from blogging because I am trying to simplify- I am also really needing to stop checking and updating blog/flickr all the friggin' time. It is one of the worst habits I have ever gotten into- can you all just stop being so interesting for me? (do you like how I pushed that over to being all of your faults?). I am trying to really evaluate where I spend my time, how I spend my time and with whom I spend my time.

Looking to just cut back a little in all areas so that I feel a little more grounded is all I really need.

We spent the long weekend lounging around the house together. We got our new GI-NORMOUS television (42 inches of hd insanity people- I try not to watch, but there it is...) and a dish, and a receiver, and a ton of speakers that are all over the living room. I sat most of the weekend and enjoyed the spectacle that is cable. We have been living cable free for the past 5 years. We would watch anything that would come through via the rabbit ears and lots of coaxing of the "12 inch wonder" (no not that "wonder" tee hee)...

I made pancakes and ate lots of soup all weekend. (hubby was sick and I was trying to not become that way.)
This photo is my ode to 3191, cuz I get up early too...

I worked on some knitting (skateycakes, that hat I was working on with you has been ripped and re-ripped and finally re-rolled into a neat little ball for another project-)I also finished two pairs of "wide-legged lounge pants". A pair of crazy red and flowers for me (I will try and get a picture this weekend, since I am living in them I am sure it won't be hard to do) The second pair was given (sans pictures) to a dear friend who is about 3 1/2 months "with child" and is quickly finding that she hates to wear elastic pants or the pregnant woman option- these were prefect.

I did make it to the booth last Thursday after yoga class- I used the $ I had found in the parking lot the week previous... It was good fun. there was a family waiting on the other side of the booth, two little girls cracking up at the faces I was making while sitting solo. I wish I could have got them to jump in there with me.


I look forward to another weekend home- this time friends from Portland coming down to see us.Wish me luck in not sending our guest in to an allergy attack due to a rouge gluten ingredient (ack!)...
Happy Friday everyone... for more booth action head on over here.

Sticking with a theme..

No photobooth today, but I thought I would put this old picture of me up just to show how long I have had this cowgirl hat obsession... I had no idea that I was such a cowgirl at heart.
I think I am about 3 in this picture, it is hard to say since I can't see my forehead... I have a scar from a fractured skull on the left side of my forehead (yep, fractured skull, 6 stitches, ICU, blood clot... in other words LUCKY TO BE ALIVE... and a very good reason why the bicycle helmet law is so very important!). The accident happened when I was about 3 and 1/2 year old....
I do know this was taken in Truckee (see the had says so) But since I have a jacket on I can't quite tell what time of year it is- it has been known to snow in T-town even in July...
This picture kills me... what a ham I am!

Happy Friday boothers and bloggers....
Go over to Hula's for a bit more of the real thang'
~~~
The weekend is promising to be a good one.. there is acro yoga (pictures from the last two times here and here), and teaching yoga (personal lessons are so wonderfully fulfilling and inspirational), and dinner with girlfriends. There maybe some ice skating down town and a bit of snowshoeing too... I need a nap!

Merry Merry- Happy Happy- Peace Peace

circa 1987 (do you think Santa hit the egg nog early that year?)

Happy Holidays everyone...

Just Say No To The Christmas Sweater

My new "wellies"... a birthday gift from my mom.

I am in love with them and make every excuse I can to wear them.
I have even worn them to work twice the past week.

It is probably totally crazy and inappropriate work garb, but I don't care.
edited portion of today's post
I have decided to delete this paragraph where I bash the Crhistmas sweater... Let's just say I am making a choice to, "Just say no to the Christmas sweater". And will leave the house in something red and green, but I refuse to wear intarsia snowmen and puff ball nosed Rudolphs... and we will leave it at that.
Merry Christmas y'all...
now go over to Caro's neck of the woods and git yer self some musak to make your day be Merry and Bright!

Oh, and maybe you if you don't get an art for Christmas this year you might want to think about snagging some from me?
There is art to give away here people. I have 5 pieces (most like photography- you can even choose what you want from my Flickr set).

Done by me, made by me, sent by me- straight to you.

Look, it is happening over here, too.

The CATCH? well you just have to promise to post on your blog with in the next few days this very same wonderful offer. Think of it as "Creative Karma".
So if you are interested leave me a comment, first five get the goods...

ooh, I likey.
