SHADOW LAND .....

Hi Everybody !

There was really nothing plain about this sunny morning !

So I'll just let the pictures do the talking....

Have a great week :)

Mother Nature Rocks !

DIE HARD 2

Curiosity killed the cat , but satisfaction brought him back ....

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYBODY !!! 'TWAS ONLY A COUPLE YEARS AGO, I WOULD HAVE BEEN CONTENT TO LAY ON THE SOFA IN MY P.J.'S AND WATCH MOVIES ALL DAY WHILE THE SNOW FELL AROUND ME, ONLY TO GET UP AND RE-FILL MY POP ( and pee ) .......

TODAY IT'S ANOTHER STORY !

I MUST GET DRESSED AND EITHER DO A DIY PROJECT OR LEARN STUFF. TODAY I DID BOTH ;)

Now , I don't drive in the snow ( since I rear-ended that guy during a snow storm ), but I grew a pair, got on U-tube and bravely set my camera to AV. ( Advanced Mode ) .....

198 shots later, by George I think I've got it ! ( Did I write it down? ) ~ THEN, I did 2 DIY projects as well. You'll see them later this week ;)

I also checked in on Street Peeper and Tokyo Street Style for inspiration. I hope to hook up with a blogger who can enlighten us on the Art of Tokyo Style.

I ALSO HAD TO WEAR THESE GREY SHOES I GOT WHILE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. I still haven't bought an actual gift yet ..... SHhhh..... There's still a few days left......

I only paid 5 bucks for them. When I find a 'trendy' shoe, I usually buy them in a black or brown to get more wear out of them, but I have been yearning for a grey pair, (only in a suede pump), but hey, five bucks ;) ~ and these babies will carry me well through spring and summer. Justified.....

I also love this little dress. It makes my boobies look smaller.

I feel all 'matchy' and such a girlie girl :)

Insane Image Over-load ......

HERE'S TO A GREAT WEEK !!!

( And to getting dressed for no reason other than for yourself ! )

BOO !

THIS "TURBI-TOWEL" IS AWESOME ;)

It is small, has an elastic 'hook' at the nape to tuck the towel in, and looks so glamorous ;)

( You probably don't see these glasses often either as I don't really like them. Too "trendy-ish"-

I usually wear my old black ones. TIP: ALWAYS get the glare-free coating ..... )

BEFORE I FORGET :

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR UP-LIFTING COMMENTS AND SUPPORT LATELY !!! I AM SO HONORED TO HAVE SUCH A BUNCH OF GREAT NEW BLOG BUDDIES :) AS WELL AS MY REGULAR BLOG BUDDIES. ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT IS OVERWHELMING AND APPRECIATED .

I LOVE YOU GUYS :) - EVER NOTICE DRUNK PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT? (No, I'm sober)

DOESN'T THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK COZY TODAY ? I HAD WHAT SEEMED TO BE A WEEK OF RUNNING AROUND NON-STOP. THEN, TODAY WE WERE GRANTED A COZY BLANKET OF STILLNESS.

THOUGH I DON'T LIKE DRIVING IN IT, NOR BEING COLD ( The temp. is in the 20's- the average temp. is mid-forties ), I DO LOVE THE MUFFLED EFFECT OF SNOW. IT IS AS THOUGH YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP OUT THERE AND THE NOISE FROM ALL THE NEARBY HIGHWAYS DISAPPEARS.
I SUDDENLY SEE THE WORLD THROUGH NEW, CALMER EYES.
THE SNOW REMINDS ME TO BE STILL. REMAIN IN THE MOMENT AND TAKE A VACATION FROM THE USUAL . TO EXPERIENCE THE EXTRAORDINARY. TO SNUGGLE :) ~ TODAY IS A REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT THE BELOVED "SNOW DAYS" OF MY CHILDHOOD WERE. I HAVE MORE FOND MEMORIES OF THESE KIND OF DAYS THAN ANY OTHER. I MAY MAKE SOME SNOW-CREAM ;)
AND TODAY, I WILL FORGET THE OLD 'WIVES TALE' THAT THE FIRST SNOW ISN'T SAFE FOR EATING ;)
