Winter Slush & Model Bebe

I'm not feeling anywhere near wordy tonight. But I wasn't for my last post either . . . so I feel somewhat obliged to write something.

Sara & I desperately are wanting to make Posie Gets Cozy's afghan. Cayooute? Isn't it? I love those colors.
This week has matched the weather. Hm. Mixture of "Aw! The purty snowflakes!" and "Yuck. Slush."
We are stocked with enough hot chocolate to last us until next winter. *happy sigh*
I think I've had my share of unflattering pictures posted on FB to last me all of 2010. May I please, please remain behind the camera for the rest of the year? Thank you.
I am such an old lady.
I've been quilting this evening - now watching dear Lawrence Welk with two lovely hounds.
There. I was sociable. :)

Cuddle day with best friend.
First photo - in what feels like months and months - that I can smile pain free! Squee!

Dear Wilson, About your teddy bear . . . { February 5 }
Bebe and I are disgusted with the weather. We are. We are.

Few minutes quilting in a polka dotted world.

Last Days of January

{ January 28 }

Judie had a bad day. Then Sarie went grocery shopping . . . how dare she. Judie was most happy that Sara came home.

{ January 29 }

SNOW. Again. Wow. What a winter we have had! For us anyway!{ January 30 }

Wilson approves of the snow.

Practicing piano exercises ~ and failing miserably. (Obviously)

Goodbye, lovely lady.

Jean Simmons
1929 - 2010

Marlon Brando: You remember that tune pretty well.
Jean Simmons: It keeps running through my heart.
Marlon Brando: It has words, you know.
Jean Simmons: Something about "amor, amor" I'll bet.
Marlon Brando: It's about you. It's about you right now...

Time After Time

I have had 'Le Festin' stuck in my head all week. That song gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I love french music . . . even though I haven't got a clue what their saying. I can swirl and swirl in ignorant bliss! LalalalaLA! It is all together a lovely careless feeling . . . and just a little disturbing as well.

Waiting for my 365 photos to load . . . waiting . . . waiting . . . *whistles* I am entertaining myself by watching snippets of Julie & Julia in the background. Have I mentioned I like this movie? I do! I do! Clara and I were discussing it earlier this afternoon and I then wanted desperately to re-watch it. It has such a perfect mixture of everything, you know? The relationships are grand. Stanley Tucci, is seriously the best. The food is gorgeous, as is the decor. The music? Hummable & Timeless. The blog themed storyline . . . I both love and hate. Either way it's an inspiring movie.

Now that I have rambled my share for the evening . . . I present ze photos! I apologize for such harsh lighting in this group . . . my oh my.

Judie has been with us for a YEAR!! She isn't the same dog she was last year. No way. She has accomplished so much and conquered so many fears.

{ January 23 }
Wilson . . . the Chili in our Chili.

{ January 24 }
Caught up on organizing photos and finally putting photos on cds.

{ January 25 }
Armed with Chicken Noodle soup and groovy tunes, I study. That is how it's done.

{ January 26 }
My favorite part about studying for humanities? The excuse to indulge myself in Shakespeare. Quite a guy.

{ January 27 }

Hope hung out with us today while Miss Evelyn was at work. No worries, this isn't half what it looks like . . . Hope is a Puggle, you see. Thus the teeth.

Reminiscing & 365

I miss chewing. Chewing holds new 'happy points' in my book now. I giggle, remembering that the receptionist said I could " . . . eat cheese toast! Right after - no problem!". Right. Almost a week later . . . I am still on a sherbet & soup diet. Que sera, sera! The whole recovery thing has been much slower than I had hoped. But the actual event wasn't so bad! My Mr. Dentist rocks! He does! He does! And so does rainbow sherbet. *happy sigh*

Studying for a CLEP test . . . Humanities. Oo la! I'm finding this to be an amazingly fun subject to study. I could spend a whole day simply studying the music side of this and completely forget that there is going to be poetry on the test as well. Then poetry get's all happy fun and I totally forget there is more happiness to study in Art and Architecture. . . . and . . . and . .

We've been on a huge Masterpeice Theater kick the past few weeks . . . I love Cranford. Can't wait until Sunday to dive into the new Emma! w00t! Who's joining me?? Although no one can replace Jeremy Northam as wonderful Mr. Knightly . . . no one.{ January 10 }

Yummy warm bread and jam . . . Oo la!

My happy bunnsies! Abby~Gail's feet crack me up! She's such a little ballerina!

"Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin
No one needs you more than I need you."

I ♥ this awesome portrait Sarie made of Bebe for me & Ward!

Bye Bye Ouchie-ness

Sad Stuff
I have an abscessed tooth.
It hwurts.
Tomorrow dummy abscessed tooth and my other wisdom teeth will go bye bye.
Not excited.
I have to miss my piano lesson tomorrow. Again. :[

Happiness
After this is past - I will be paaain free in my mouthkins for the first time in months. Yippee!
These pain killers bring the most hilarious dreams. (i.e: I'm living in a cotton candy, tutu, 'Goodship Lolly pop' land.)
TCM is playing lots of Van Johnson movies all day Saturday.
I get to finally watch 'Miracle in The Rain'!
I have chocolate cake waiting for me!
. . . which I will go eat now!

First week of 2010! 365 style.

Yay! I'm so excited to be doing Project 365 again. It's a fun, fun challenge that encourages one to take pictures they normally wouldn't take. Yeah, yeah . . and I know I'll get a little non-excited about it mid Julyish. But right now, it's just fun.

In case any of you are interested - I'm hosting my 365 pics over at Shutterfly this year. Oo la! Feeling nice and organized!

{ January 1 }
What better way to start out 365 . . than with a picture of my mutual 365er friend and her fella?

Everybody is feeling quite lazy today, with all these silly colds and all. Watching movies and cuddling with the doggies . . . good remedy.
