I'm so vain! My friends sactopig send a link to their wedding pictures and I look through all 300+ of them just for pictures of me! Hah! Here are some that I thought came out nicely: That's the guys' friend Tony in the white, me in the blue. TCM is showing campy horror movies all night and I've got chips and dip, so I'm set for a Friday evening!
My dog Waukie was not quite herself over the weekend…not a spritely and energetic – I sometimes call her “Ferrari Dog” because when she stands up on her hind legs; she looks like the Ferrari horse. And while she appeared to want to get up on the couch and bed, something stopped her from doing so. At one point, she was lying on the kitchenfloor so I sat on the floor with her ...
The dogs woke me up about 4:45 this morning, but I stayed in bed until about a quarter after five. It’s still unseasonably warm around here for October... but clouds moved in around Old Shasta during the late afternoon and helped to cool things off a little bit. Rain is supposed to arrive here by the end of the week; just in time to drench the Tick-or-Treaters. We’ll see. I still haven’t ...
Well, I finish my white painting in the bath...looks great but smells like paint! And I remembered we have showers at the office building where I work, so I can grab a shower there as needed, allowing my bathroom paint to dry during the week before I expose it to steam. I took Gidget out for a drive - an unseasonably warm day - and stopped for some photo ops at the Catholic Healthcare Building ...
It's been a delightfully balmy weekend for late October! I need to get the Tempest out for one more topless drive before the cold weather rolls in. Puttered around the house yesterday. I finished prepping the bathroom for painting, so now I just need to get off my ass and paint it. I'm doing the ceiling and all the trim in white and the walls in "Nutmeg" so it makes it a little more of a ...
I'm STILL prepping my bathroom for painting...I'm finding there are a lot of little places that need patching and sanding. Then I'll need to clean the floors, walls, ceiling, and trim prior to actually painting, so I hope I can get it all done before my guests arrive next month! I try to do a little bit each evening after work, but tomorrow isthe weekend, so maybe I can get more done. In any ...
I'm sitting here watching "2001: A Space Odessey" just a Dave is asking Hal to open the pod bay doors. I met my new neighbor, Fred from across the street and we chatting for a bit while I was raking my front lawn. Nice to know there's another 'mo in the neighborhood! My project picture for yesterday follows simplymare and 's idea of photographing my shadow: Of course, this was ...
Project 365 pictures for Monday, October 20th: Lemons on my dwarf lemon tree... ...and for Tuesday, October 21st: My dog, Posey, I had to literally chase her down to get a picture! She's "shy" I guess. I'm S-L-O-W-L-Y getting my bathroom prepped for repainting. If all goes well (and if I feel like it), I'll paint the ceiling and moldings by Friday and do the walls on Saturday. ...
Friends sactopig got married today. whozudaddy officiated...how kewl it that?! The boys' eight-year anniversary is tomorrow, so they set the wedding date as close to that as possible (one less anniversary to remember) while still allowing for guests to attend. I actually remembered to bring my camera and took lots of pictures...most of which I will copy for them and perhaps ...
Ooops! I meant "Golden Rain!" I have in my front yard that which I have identified as a "golden rain" tree...my least favorite of the trees around my house. I've lived here over four years and the damn thing hasn't grown much at all. It gets little yellow flowers on it in the spring, hence the name "golden rain." The pollinated flowers then form into unique lantern-like seed pods that cover ...
