I'm still here

I've been so busy I haven't had time for my camera. I should have a few of our Halloween pics tonight and LOTS of pics after this weekend.

honestly...

tell me what you think. I found this dress and thought it looked like me. I like the style, color, length and price. I like it. So, should I keep it? I really like the dress but am not real sure about how it looks on me. Keep in mind I will wear some sort of short black jacket with it.

Here's a close up of the fabric.

sweet goodness

is what I came up with yesterday. I made a spice cake and couldn't decide what to cover it with. I started playing around and came up with this. I didn't think it would work on the cake, so I spread it out on wax paper, cooled it in the fridge and now this is what I have. Imagine a not-totally-firm praline. Oh yeah, like I said, sweet goodness. How am I supposed to walk by it all day and NOT have a piece each time? It's totally going in the garbage...just one more bite.

on a scale of 1 - 10,

how foolish do you think I feel wearing these? Yeah, about a 10. They're my new Shape Up Shoes and are supposed to do all sorts of great things. They're my new house shoes...when I'm alone. "What the heck is that?" - Eric saw them for the first time yesterday. I'm supposed to focus on the flat part to walk on so it feels like I'm walking in heels with no heel. I really didn't think they'd fit. You order a size smaller than what you'd normally wear (rounded down if it's a half size). So, when I ordered a size 7 for my 8 1/2 - 9 foot, I was shocked to see they really fit. And, if it weren't for the funkiness of the bottom, they'd be really comfortable.

torn down

While out driving, Cosme and I came across an old house being torn down. It was all roped off with caution tape. I saw this chair and tv out in the yard and really liked them. There was garbage in the yard and in the street around the house. A page out of an old book was out on the side of the road. I liked the way it looked too.

it's baaack

Everybody can quit worrying, the red is back. Today I had the red streaks put back along with a trim. Now let's see if I can keep my hair from frizzing out.

soar

Last night was the ceremony for the junior high kids to be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. I was lucky enough to get one shot of Eric looking my direction. Cindy and Dodo also came to watch. Afterwards, we went for dinner.

a tree frog

was waiting for me when I took the garbage out. Can you imagine how I jumped? The handle was actually up in the "locked" position. He was in there pretty snug. No, I didn't get close to take the picture, I held my arms out and snapped away until I got one with him in it. It would not have been a pleasant sight if he'd jumped out at me.

do you know

what makes a bad situation worse? I do.

yikes

It was so early I didn't even have Chapstick on. Wait, it was so early, I hadn't even had a Coke yet! Here's a picture of me at the beach this morning. (No, I couldn't smile.)

where was I?

It may appear to be the moon, but I was actually at the beach this morning. I don't like water and I don't like birds, but I like the beach when it's cool and breezy. I decided to head out there with my camera after dropping Eric off. It started to get a little warm around 8:30 so I left. Here are a few of the things I saw.

i've always loved

this car. I think it's been parked in the same spot for 10 years. It's parked at some office that appears to have been out of commission as long as the car. Isn't it cute?
