My shirt got lucky!

I'm writing this, hoping Cindy will leave what really happened in the comments. What I know is this... I let Cindy borrow one of my most favorite shirts after the R.E.M. concert because she was going to Vegas and had nothing sexy to wear. I told her she could borrow the shirt I had worn to work that day. It's a wrap style shirt with lots of rushing in the front. It's got a cream background with peach and brown flowers all over. It covers a multitude of sins, and with a push-up bra, you are … [Read more...]

It’s a ghost…  It’s not a ghost, but it’s white!

Last night, I took Daisy out for her evening walk about 6. She had been asking for quite some time, but I was ignoring her. So, imagine my surprize when I saw this in the next door neighbours front yard! At first I thought it was a cat... Then, it hopped. I knew it was a bunny, and it was afraid of Daisy. I figured I'd take Daisy for her walk, and it would be gone. Someone must be looking for it. Daisy and I went for our long walk, and low and behold, our bunny friend was still out … [Read more...]

Glass pumpkin days at SJSU

I bought this really cute pumpkin today. The Glass Department Guild sells them every year at this time. I bought a blue one earlier this month, but I saw this one, and it totally caught my eye. It's that it almost looks plaid. It's a yummy pumpkin! You should be jealous! … [Read more...]

Grace would like to see: The view from your living room window, your bedroom and where you do laundry. Zoot wants to see: 1) Daisy in a halloween costume 2) your favorite coffee cup 3) The place you sit while you blog Believe it or not, my living room doesn't have a "window" per se. I have a huge sliding glass door, but no window. So, here is the view of my nasty back yard. I managed to kill the impatients while I was in New York, so the planters don't look nice. I think that there are two … [Read more...]

R.E.M. for the seventh time 10/15 Greek Theatre, Berkeley

For those of you who know me, I am a devoted R.E.M. fan. I used to be a collector, but that ended with an ex a long time ago. Besides, who can keep up with all that crap. I got my R.E.M. seats this time, like I did last time, from the fan club. This time, I was in row 8, seats 13/14 (on the outside isle). I was a bit worried about who was going with me. Two weeks before the show I still hadn't secured a guest. THANK GOD FOR COUSIN CINDY. The godess said she would love to go. The plan … [Read more...]

Lori commented: Oh Goodie...my turn! Well, naturally I'm going to have to see the Big Toe on your left foot now. You can even adobe on some fake nail polish if you like I'd like to see where Daisy Sleeps and the space where you store all of your knitting supplies, yarns, etc. I admit it, Daisy sleeps in bed with me. It has been a problem in the past. Certain ex boyfriends have not understood it, or even liked it. At that point, Daisy sleeps on blankets on the floor. I have bought her … [Read more...]

Lushy asked: I would like to see your favorite piece of decor in your home. Susanna said: Once you promised me a picture of your VW beatle... And I want a video of daisy, if your camera can take a video I've just seen the videos on lori's site, so I got inspired! For the third one, can I please see your favourite handbag? I know, this is a very silly one! My favorite piece of decor? That is super easy! It's my Heywood Wakefield record cabinet. It actually holds all the vinyl records that … [Read more...]

That picture thing…  Revealed

Because The Hippie commented first, I'm starting with her requests. The Hippie would like to see: the most comfortable spot in my house. This is it. It is my sofa. Miss Nikki says my sofa is evil. It sucks you in and makes you want to sleep. It's the truth. It's also been the place where I've been sleeping my days away with my stomach flu. I've taken one of the back cushions off because when I'm sick I don't like the back cushions. You see my favorite warm blanket also on my couch, as … [Read more...]

So, let me tell you about stomach flu!

Did you know that when you get stomach flu you can't eat? You don't really even want to eat. It's quite interesting. I've not eaten much but soup, crackers and mini bagels since Saturday. I'm guessing I've had all of 1500 calories since then. It's only that much because i'm drinking sport drinks that have calories associated with them. On Monday, I had my annual. My doctor said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" My reply was, "Do you know how long it takes to get into see you?" I had … [Read more...]
