Ready for battle, Commander.

Luke's creativity never ceases to amaze me. He has been begging for a Kindle Fire or an iPad (um, no), so he made one at school. The thing of the right is a backpack for it. All made from paper, tape, and colored pencils.

Testing out nail polish for MIL's wedding this coming weekend. Tried this one on the suggestion of a friend. Neutral slightly pinkish-silver in different sized glitters. LOVE!

Whoa!! Too grown up, too grown up!!

Hey, another finish! I know, two in a month, the world must be ending. This one is small, but it still counts!

2013-07-26



So I *may* have started a new piece. This is the fabric I bought while I was away with my friends. Not much, but she's started. That looks like a fairy, right?

A very special polish from a friend. This is Paradise by Liquid Jelly, from Picture Polish. Blue, teal, foil, purple glitter, right up my ally!

Happy birthday to me! A meal at one of my favorite restaurants (Golden Corral), and I even got a piece of cake for dessert, which I don't normally do.

I took this picture mainly for the shadow, since it is the first time I've seen one in forever! Too much rain.

2013-07-22



I finished a piece while I was gone this weekend, but I didn't get to photograph it until today (too much rain!). I've been working on this piece pretty much since we graduated from college. About time I finished it, don't you think?

GLITTER! Glitter was the running theme/joke of my weekend. I had to sift through my suitcase this evening, and when I pulled my hand out, I found this. Just a reminder of what a good time we had.

I swear, it has rained all summer, including on the way home from meeting my friends. Special thanks to my friend Kay for driving.

I am so proud to have known these special women for so many years, even though we are literally sprinkled all over the country. Some I've known for only a few years, and a special few I've known for nearly 15 years (wow, when did we all get so old! LOL). It is truly a privilege, ladies! (And special thanks to Suz (bottom left) for use of her photo, since mine didn't turn out.

We're off to see the wizard... Actually, I'm off to see some friends that I haven't seen in 3-4 years. So anxious to see these ladies again!

Another interesting use of product labeling. On the one hand, this sort of blew my mind, but on the other hand, clearly I had to have it! LOL

2013-07-16



That's an interesting new use for that particular brand name.

Tried the Chicken Bake at Costco today for lunch. YUM! It was fabulous, and it was plenty large enough to split. I took the other half (well, this half, actually) to work the next day. It reheated beautifully and was still just as yummy.

Snuggling on the couch, ready for rest time.

I can't believe I bought three pair of new shoes in one day. Yes, two of them are the same in design, just different colors, but still.

I love the texture of this grass between the sidewalk and a very industrial building in downtown Atlanta.

2013-07-11



What? YOU got up! I didn't want the chair to be lonely.

I don't wear much creme nail polish. I generally prefer a little shine and sparkle on my tips. But I absolutely love this pink/red color! This is Dita by Zoya.

2013-07-09



You know, ladies, I do have a free lap, if anyone is interested....

Four of the Five: Monkey, Tigress, Crane, and Mantis (not sure why Viper isn't there), Shifu, and Po. (Kung Fu Panda)

And we're back to our usually scheduled program of Luke shenanigans.

2013-07-06



A nice reminder from our last meal in Jacksonville in celebration of our 15th wedding anniversary.

The $10 Taco from TacoLu in Jacksonfille, FL, made with filet mignon. They very kindly only charge $5 for it. It was quite tasty.

2013-07-04



Off on our own for our 15th anniversary. It's so odd for the back seat to be empty when we travel.

2013-07-03



A very foggy day at work.

2013-07-02



Checking out the latest edition of the LEGO Club magazine, one of the few things he will voluntarily look at (I think "read" might be overstating things).

This is some of the.... unusual art in my work building. It's made from metal in various states of rustiness, pieced together like patchwork.
