all i need

are some little red mittens and a bright red scarf.. and i will be all set for next fall/winter*L*

Today Miss Sandi and I went shopping at ValueVillage. I found a skirt I liked, but it was nothing special or that I couldn’t find anywhere else. BUT at the end, I was like.. I need to have a look at the jackets..and I looked, and I searched.. and I found a LOVELY navy blue wool peacoat that fits perfectly. It needs a good cleaning, and maybe some new buttons or the current ones stitched on tighter.. but other than that.. it’s just perfect. AND it was only $9.99

I also found this framed print. A few weeks ago, I found this picture online, that struck a nerve with me. I have a picture at home, very very similiar to that. It has been my most favourite cherished childhood thing for as long as I can remember. Well today shopping, we strolled through the household type of stuff, and there was this framed picture of a little dog… by the same artist. The frame is ugly as sin and coming off very soon, but I was extremely happy about that little print. So now that I can see the artist name more clearly.. Hopefully I might be able to search for more of them..

Winterlude 2004

The photographs I took at Winterlude are over on Picturing. Have a peek around, you can find them in the Series, Events, and Various Projects category of the Gallery. I’m working on putting together a “night time” series as well. I now have enough photographs to warrant putting that together.

An update

I realize I haven’t been posting much in the way of weekly memes, nor have I kept up at all with the Leap Day project. I just haven’t been feeling very motivated with the camera of late. I took some photographs of the remains of the Winterlude ice & snow sculptures, working on those..They will eventually be in the Gallery. I still have the nighttime snow images to put up in there as well.. eef. Thinking if I should participate in the next sh1ft.org project for Leap Day or not. I guess I will decide that day, see what the weather is like and force myself to go out so that my Leap Day doesn’t totally reflect the mundane days I have everday*L*Hopefully with the promise of new things and the upcoming season, I will be more inspired to participate in activities as well as exploring new places with my camera.

I swear

the lady that lives next to the elevator does nothing but bake and cook all day. You cannot walk past her door without smelling something lovely. Drives me nuts-lol- I want to knock and ask for her recipes. I have left the apartment 4 times today, and each time was a different bake smell. Cookies, bread….something…damn tasty smelling whatever it was.

i cannot wait

for when my recycle bin is right outside my garage door.. because man, dragging everything downstairs is such a pain -eyes giant pile of cardboard-

I also cannot get those damn tables to work.. I have two more things to try.. and then I give up and try a different look which will make me sad.

I also went last night to the Winterlude.. so sad.. most of the ice sculptures were melted.. about 6 or seven of them had collapsed or pieces fallen off from the warm days. I got a few good photos, the snow sculptures with the exception of Logan from X-Men had escaped unscathed..

Poor bevie is under a whole lot of snow. We have nasty weather coming our way from Texas.. Yet again proof nothing good ever comes out of Texas..

It’s 70F/22C at Carrie’s house. I could honestly hate her for that. The hussy.

throws in the towel

ok done.. can’t do anymore with those stupid tables.. whatever I did with THIS current layout, isn’t working with the one I’m working on. Damn table won’t expand with the bulk of the blog text. -clubs it-.. time to read some things.. and go to bed.

ugh tables

I’ve been piecing together a special layout.. and can I just say I freaking HATE tables.. Pain in my ass they are. BUT, I just got the magic moment in working on these things, where POOF everything comes together. Well together for now at least. I still have a LONG way to go in figuring this crap out to get it the way I want it.. But I have the foundation laid out, it’s just a matter of tweaking things out.
