that's the day i was born and hence, i had a birthday on april 9th, 2009! AHHHH!
it was a fun day. though it ended with bloatedness after drinking a soy chai at a restaurant. it was the powder mix chai, which, from experience, tends to be laden with dairy... Oh NOES! . . .
in any case, it was still fun. a guy gave me a HUGE purple cellophane wrapped basket of homemade peanut butter cookies he made himself, pretty white roses, funny balloons, and a card about BOOTYBUTTS (the card i received at work was about a toilet and poo... ironic much?)! his mom got me a to-die-for gift card to starbuck's (i whole-heartedly support the local coffee and tea shops, but sometimes, they just aren't around when you need 'em the most!)
then he and i went out to breakfast/lunch/brunch/whatever you wanna call it at T.C. Eggington's. they have great vegetarian choices... "portobellini"... yum! on the way to breakfast, we saw a mother and her tiny baby ducks by the freeway in the puddle-y canal/gutter/whatever you wanna call that. it was cool because it was my birthday and they were cute, yet odd because it was by a freeway and not in a park, or in my school's irrigation or something. them duckies must be suffering economically too, eh?
so after that, i contemplated going back home to work on a commedia dell'arte mask for theatre class, but decided to just veg and hang with this guy at his apartment (i find vegging out, doing nothing a bit difficult to do sometimes).
later on, we met up with my parents to eat dinner at the Euro Cafe in Gilbert, AZ. a great foodsie greeky place. and that's where, you know, *ahem*... the soy-chai-laden-with-dairy-omg-why-did-i-order-this fiasco happened. so after dinner, with all of us feeling like cows (even though i hardly ate anything and they ate like contestants in a hotdog eating contest), we went to Wal-Mart of all places. i'm particularly NOT a Wal-Mart fan, but since i was at Wal-Mart and it might be cheaper than at other places, i bought vanilla soy ice cream because i was magnetized/hankering for some.
we finally headed home around 11pm, after which i quickly shoved this guy out the door and kissed him goodbye, so i could heat up some of those peanut butter cookies and WHAM BAM!... inhale hot cookies n' ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm... no cake this year. and i wanted it that way. no one even sang to me either i noticed, but that's perfectly ok. it's not a crime. wait wait...i take that back: he played the weird al birthday song... so essentially, i was sung to in mp3 format. :)
oh yeah, and at work today for my 'employee birthday'... i made up fruit, granola, & yogurt parfaits for everyone. someone bought all the ingredients (i requested it instead of birthday cake), and i went right to work -- whipping up those babies during my lunch break. i was so amazed some people didn't know what a parfait was or how to make them.
well, now they know :)
suffice to say, i'm on a parfait kick now. i hadn't had one in a year before that day. soy yogurt though. yes, please. :)
p.s. thanks dude for taking these kickity arse photos!

For Crazy Tuesday#Vintage
We have not used these fruit harvesting baskets for a long time, these have been replaced by light wooden or plastic crates so that they are now used only for decoration and are reminiscent of another forgotten time.
I chose to process the photo in sepia tone because it seems more vintage and nostalgic to me.
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄
The flower baskets that hang all along the Rose District in Broken Arrow, which is Main Street. Still going for early Fall color.
Went for a pink, yellow, apricot and white colour scheme for the hanging baskets and pots this year. I'm quite pleased with how the colours are working together :)
Many thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on my images :)))

Bella loves the basket, she loves to pop up & down like a jack in the box, its so cute but proves a little tough at times to get a shot, but we always manage to get a few really cute ones :))
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #7 "Baskets", these were made by a now deceased sister-in-law when she was taking basket weaving classes. She actually got quite good at it, and all her family now has a few of them as rememberances.
All the chocolate rabbits have been eaten and only the colorful basket remains.
These baskets are sold in markets all over the central valleys of Oaxaca. I bought this one in Zaachila. I believe that they're woven in Santa Cruz Papalutla.
Rope finishing around the edge of an oak slat basket for the Smile of Saturday group challenge: creative with rope. Happy Saturday!
Ileodictyon cibarium is a saprobic species of fungus in the family Phallaceae. It is found in Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa, where it commonly known as the basket fungus or the white basket fungus, alluding to the fruiting bodies, that are shaped like a round or oval ball with interlaced or latticed branches. Although the immature volvae are edible, the mature fruit body is foul-smelling and covered with a slime layer containing spores on the inner surfaces.
