here is a story to exemplify what a nut I can be at times (most of them).

after sitting in the ER for hours, waiting to be seen, I finally make it

into a room and get some perc for pain.

I end up waiting in the room, getting loopy off of the meds and decided it

was time to take some pictures.

complete loser, right?

well, it gets better (or worse depending on your vantage).

I started thinking of air supply songs, and thought it was way more

hilarious than it really is!! :)

here I am, the one that you love...

lost in love and I don't know much...

making love out of nothing at all.....

because we're two less lonely people in the world....

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you.....

you're every woman in the world to me....

I'm going to blame the drugs (if only it were the reason!!!)

Floating down through the clouds,

memories come rushing up to meet me now,

and in the space between the heavens,

in the corner of some foreign field,

I had a dream.

I had a dream.

Day 21/365

I had a random lunch of just McDonald fries today with ketchup. I also had a really random thought while eating them. Sometimes in life it feels we all have a "tear here" written on us somewhere. Then that certain someone says a something or does something that makes it feel like they just ripped the "tear here" part. Now all your ketchup is forever exposed and there is no fix. Anyway, that's what I wanted to ramble about today :)

What am I figuring out? www.spudart.org/blogs/randomthoughts_comments/5411_0_3_0_C/

Sometime I wish I could have ______. It doesn't seem like much to ask for, but it seems that getting what I want from that particular person seems impossible. I will see if what I said I wanted, I will get this time. {Random Thought 1.18.14}

This is an illustration for a blog post called, Alternates to "What's shaking?".

(the sticky note should say, "consecutive EVEN numbers")

Earlier in the day I tweeted about thinking of trying to get a receipt with 8/10/12 14:16. But who has receipts with 24-hour time?

Without even thinking I went to the bank to get some laundry quarters. As she was plunking the rolls onto the counter, I exclaimed, "oh wow!" She must have thought I never saw that many quarters before. But then I showed her my receipt. "Look! It's consecutive even numbers--almost. Isn't that cool?"

She said, "oh my, that is pretty nice." And then she looked at her monitor and said, "oh my monitor is telling me you are one of our preferred customers and that I should introduce you to our manager."

Every object that you see casts a shadow. Nature has it's own way of showing things in dual colored modes. The colored object and a greyscale shadow that the object casts. Makes me think, how every object has two sides of it; the actual colours and the grey/black shadow colour it casts. More variations as in transparent, translucent and opaque objects. Looking at a shadow one could probably tell what the actual object might look like and was made of.

Well, today was busy for me for the most part, but I did manage to get that rough draft finished and turned in for class and discussion posts replied to there also.

Good day today, although it seems as if it is staying hotter in our house than it is outside..which stinks. :P Got to talk to my son today in NY..it was good to hear from him. =o)

Whatever life brings my way, adversity, uncertainty, and unexpected surprises, I know that with you by side and standing firm in my corner, I will survive. People may fail me, discount me and sometime even abandon me when I least expect it, but you have never done that. You have always provided for me when I needed and even when I thought I didn't need it. Thank you heavenly father for loving me and accepting me unconditionally. {Random Thought 8.17.10}

Did this once before, but just wanted to reshoot it a little different.

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself. (Walter Anderson).

The stickers were just for fun. A last minute aisle item.

wore this vintage jacket to work today; day one of the color project -- today is orange day. Also, as this is burnt orange, it fits into the Year of Color project, too! Who would have thought this jacket would full so many niches of my life.
