Tilde cheat sheet with reminder post-it, for those long hours sitting working at code.

aka "Mom's Tired" Bento for a day out shopping. DH made his signature fried rice-shrimp. I cut up some cucumber and mixed it with the homemade leftover shio-koji salad dressing in the fridge then added the leftover pieces of a mystery citrus fruit that were leftover from breakfast.
Ever wonder what a "cheater slick" is? Well, this is one. Note, almost no tread - just rubber on the road. * But don't try driving with these things on a rainy day!
Phone rings husband is calling, wondering where she is.. she was just gonna have a few drinks with him after work. She thinks.. what have I done?
West Virginia's Cheat River is a beautiful, clear, free-flowing mountain trout stream. Seen in October, it is made all the more beautiful by the changing colors of the leaves.
4 colors are not completely clean:
- Sand Green, Dark Bluish Gray and Bright Green are missing a complete plain torso
- Chrome Gold is a cut keychain
This guy across the street has quite the parking racket going. He's figured out a way to consistently reserve two public, non-permit-zoned spots in front of his (rent-subsidized) apartment.
That black Jetta in front belongs to a family member. Whenever that car leaves, he pulls his car half a car length forward so no one else can park in front of or behind his car. This happens all day, every day. And on the rare occasion when he takes his souped-up Plymouth Breeze (complete with taped-on racing stripes and number 01) out for a spin--with the hazards on, because he's probably senile, and because I don't think the car goes more than 20 MPH--he pulls the VW half a car length forward to save the spot.
On occasion I've come upon this scene when his car was pulled out, before he had a chance to move the Jetta. He double parks until any car interested in the spot moves on. Just sits there blocking the open spot with the hazards on, causing a traffic jam and much chaos.
Once I figure out how to report him to the city without sounding like a blooming idiot, I'm going to do it. Pisses me off that I have to park on Ravenswood because this guy has nothing better to do with his time but exercise some weird territorial sense of entitlement over these 2 parking spots.

Thanks to Marc's Teacher Scissors we were able to slice up our criteria and piece the first draft of this chart together pretty swiftly. After we make a digital version it will be time to start testing it out on courses.
Looking down river from the Cheat Lake Dam. There were fish hatching while I was standing there all up and down the shoreline. This is up river about 4 miles before the Cheat meets up with the Monongahela River at Point Marion, Pa.
A closer view of Cheat River Grade. From just East of Blaser,right center, the line descends to Rowlesburg WV, before making a 90 degree turn and crossing it's namesake river. After passing M&K Junction, the line begins climbing Cranberry Grade in the left side of the photo.
It's what's for breakfast.
Which means I'm not only cheating on my new year's resolution to eat healthier, but I'm probably also cheating on the whole "picture a day" idea. Forgive if that's the case, but I just couldn't decide between the two - so here you have it, a cinnamon bun/strawberry waffle dippy for day 3. At least there's no bacon...and the strawberries are detoxifying - right? ;-)
Happy Sunday! :)
What a great name!! My husband thought it might be cheating that the name sounded so much like a quilt, but I thought it was too good to pass up! And maybe not everyone has a favorite tree, but I definitely do and it's a Weeping Willow! I love the way the leaves drape so elegantly. This quilt is tall and slender at 12" x 18" plus 2" tabs. The backing fabric is a tan cotton print with sketchy architectural details that reminded me of things we saw while visiting southern California (Santa Barbara, San Louis Obispo and more), so I thought it was fitting for this piece to give it a little California flair. It is also a good backdrop for the nice light brown linen and the variety of buttons. I started with all tan buttons, but opted for a wider variety and I really like the sparkle of color in the border. It keeps your eye moving around the piece.
Also be sure to notice the 3-dimensional willow leaves along the bottom and edges of the branch. It adds to the layering effect of a real willow branch and bridges the border and center for a united piece.
