Hmm, I'm not sure I want to open a box that looks like that. (Have you seen the movie SE7EN?!!)

I was wearing my favorite bracelet today, and it was creating these sparkle reflections on he ceiling and sun visor. I never did really get the shot I wanted, with the rainbow effect showing.

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.

Safety first, Kitty.

My old phone case (on the left) broke. Waaaah!! I really liked that case! I bought the one on the right at the same time, because I wasn't sure if the floral one would work for my phone. I'll use the circles one now, since my phone needs protection. It's not that I don't like it, I just liked the flowers better.

More Coke box art. Go Braves!!

Something about this basket of crayons at Red Lobster tonight just struck me. I like the colors and the texture created by the tips of the crayons.

This was a gift from my mom. She received this sample size item, but the color didn't really work for her, so she gave it to me. I love it! I have no idea what's in it or why it feels SOOO good, but wow. I'll have to see if I can get some more. [Update: Holy cow, Sephora thinks this stuff is pretty awesome, too. They charge $25 for a full size tube, which is about the size of a tube of lip balm. Um, no.]

You don't find too many bicentennial quarters these days because, you know, they're old. Like me, given that I was born in July 1976. I love that I have a special quarter "just for me." Makes me smile every time I see one.

After they took my right shoe (above) off at the hospital last week, there was no way I could get it back on.  We stuck it in my son's backpack for safe keeping. He discovered it there a couple of days later and tossed it out in the dining room. It has sat here, by this window, unmissed ever since. In fact, I have several lone right shoes laying around the house.Maybe one day soon, their services will be needed again.

Time to remove the Disney Parks app shortcut from my home screen on my phone for another year. :-(

We needed to send Luke's PowerPoint presentation to school on a thumb drive. I didn't want to send one of my good (pricey) 16GB or 32GB thumb drives, in case it doesn't come back. We rummaged around in the box in the office and came up with this ancient one. Look carefully; that is 64 Megabytes, not Gigabytes. How old is this thing, anyway?

This is the fork lift we found in the parking lot of my mom's office. We have no idea who put it there or how it got there. It was gone by the next morning. So bizarre!

One causality of the weekend: our oldest and best timer died. It has seen us through many a Thanksgiving meal. Not sure how we'll get along without it.

What do you think they've decided? [Update: Obama]

DH picked up his replacement hardhat and vest today (they changed designs a few years ago, and his old vest no longer meets regulations). Luke was playing with them in the back seat on the way home, so we grabbed a quick picture.

No, I don't generally store Amazon boxes in my foyer; they're for a project later in the week (see the blog entry on Luke's birthday party). But yes, I had all of these stored in my basement (and this isn't even the entire collection; oops).

You get a good view of the overhead highway signs from the North Avenue exit. I know they're big (they have to be so the cars far below can read them), but whenever I get close, I'm still amazed at just *how* big they are. This photo doesn't even capture it very well. Most of the capital letters are about a foot tall (about 30 cm). Note: I was completely stopped at a stop light when I took this.

More Coke box art at Kroger, this time for our local professional football team.

I can't believe these are the only pictures I took all day! I was trying to show a group of online friends how "invisible" my eyebrows and eyelashes are. This was the best one of the group.
