Happy New Year


Watching Perez Hilton on CNN...

Cooking scalloped potatoes...the mandoline worked great to slice the potatoes: (thanks for the idea, Luke!)

The lens got misty when I took the oven shot.

sitting on the kitchen floor to clean the fan to dry the clothes hanging up :)...don't worry, I unplugged it~Happy New Year!

Home decorating


with a pen...(it's just on the photograph!)..but wouldn't that be fun to draw all over the fridge and cabinets? From January World Of Interiors magazine.

Another one

Stylin'


ladies...with some experience :)

Love her DO. I think I posted this pic before.

Color

I forgot


that I got these funny looking purple doc sandals a few months ago. They've been hiding in the closet.

They were at Value Village...they had Rack tags on them.

They make me so tall :). Your new docs reminded me of them.

Powerlines and planes


Love the planes that fly overhead.

Finding


It's an organ bike! See it moving here and where they make it here. Photo from The Selby.

It's that day again!


I'm still a kid at heart.

This astro report sounds a bit grandiose!! :)...but interesting:

If your birthday is this week:(Dec 21-27th)

"The most powerful planet in the Zodiac is heading for your driveway, Capricorn. Pluto is now in your sign, something that last happened around 250 years ago, when the United States was born. He will slowly conjunct your Sun over the next few years and develop urges inside you to let go of people and things that no longer satisfy you. Pluto wants to build bigger than anything you’ve ever done. For many, this will be the time in life when they claim their mantle and positions of power. And their 15 minutes of fame. This is the time in life for you to change things you have always wanted to change and to direct your will and focus on the highest priority in your life. And you may not know what that is right now. But I am certain you will by next Spring—be patient. Let times change."

A block away from...


the bus accident today. We heard the helicopters...and the sirens. But they were SO LUCKY...and the driver of the second bus managed not to hit the first one. We stopped by walking to to get groceries...the second day of being snowed in. (click it to see it bigger...that's the edge of the overhang of the freeway).

I was reminded of this tonight:

Audrey Hepburn's Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
