The Crazy Cube Lady

Posted in Everything Else, tagged , , , , , , , , , on October 1, 2009 | 12 Comments »

I think I’m probably going to have to get a new car within the next 6-ish months.  I’m not thrilled about it, but the things wear out.  I do have to say that I’m a one-car kind of woman.  I want a car that will last a really long time, I’m not the type that [...]

Wordless

Posted in Everything Else on September 14, 2009 | 9 Comments »

I know I’ve been absent lately.  I can’t tell you why, exactly, except that my heart just isn’t in it.  The words aren’t coming.  But I’m still here, alive, and chugging away on all my projects.  Thank you all for the sweet words about my last post.  I truly appreciate every single one of them.
I [...]

Celebrating Baby

Posted in Everything Else, tagged , , on July 14, 2009 | 5 Comments »

A couple weeks ago, we had a baby shower for my SIL.  And not a moment too soon because she delivered 2 days after the shower, about 3 weeks early.  Mom and baby are great!!  Here’s the diaper cake we made, and the baby monkey Lady_Belle made.

This was the great diaper bag that Cathy made for [...]

Passion Flower

Posted in Everything Else, tagged , , on July 4, 2009 | 9 Comments »

 
My parents have this new plant growing in the brush in their backyard.  Wikipedia tells me it’s a Passion Flower.  

Not sure how it ended up in the brush back there, but I’m glad it did.  It gives me something pretty to play around some more with the new camera and photo-editing.

But it looks like it belongs somewhere exotic [...]

Aftermath

Posted in Everything Else, tagged , , on June 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »

We had some bad storms pass few a week or two ago, and I think this tree must be one of the victims. 

I actually first spotted this tree when I was out last night, but of course I didn’t have my camera with me.  So I went out this afternoon to get a few shots.  [...]

Back On Line

Well, I’m all hooked up and into the 21st century.  I’m actually all cozied up under the covers in bed as I type this.  What an amazing thing a laptop is.  I actually have been working a ton since I bought it, so tonight was the first time I got to spend any actual time [...]

Untethered

Posted in Everything Else on June 5, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Think of the last 5 spontaneous things you bought.  It may be a candy bar or a magazine in line at the Walmart.  It might have been a really cute bag you just had to have.  Maybe it was a half yard of that amazing fabric you saw that you knew would be perfect for something.  [...]

Spellcheck Needs to Get With the Times

Posted in Everything Else on May 22, 2009 | 7 Comments »

I feel so out of practice with blogging.  It’s amazing what a couple weeks off will do.  I feel like I don’t know how to write anymore, than I can barely put a sentence together.  And as it happened, I also ended up with all these random pictures that don’t really mean much, but I feel like I [...]

Rustiness

Holy Smokes, have I been busy!  Wow!  I’ll be honest, last week was a terrible week.  But this week is looking much better.   Things are slowly but surely calming down around here.  I’m hoping to get back to regular posting.  I have scads of things I never got around to writing about, so hopefully [...]

Manners

Posted in Book Review, Everything Else on April 29, 2009 | 9 Comments »

Have you seen the swap and giveaway posts?
I recently got this book at an estate sale, “Manners to Grow On”, copyright 1955.

It’s hilarious.  A very fun read.  So I thought I’d share some with you.  This is from the chapter, “Introductions”.  Not the whole thing, but some of the basics. 
“Do you feel tongue-tied and confused [...]
