Outstretched arms with freedom























Reminded me of a prayer..."Oh God, help me to see the truth of who I am, no matter how beautiful it is."

A split second moment

















It's just a benign photo taken in a parking garage. But the moment before I took this photo, I was really taking a moment to just really enjoy the gorgeous day!  The blues in the sky and in the glass of that building contrasting with the inside of the garage was breathtaking for a split second.  It was a deep breath I remember.

Patty goes retro























There's my girl..hanging out in the window, waiting to dance a jig. Like me, she finds it hard to wind herself up. Time to get back to work.

The beginning of the compost























The apple core was lonely in this new compost bucket...so I added some popped popcorn kernels.  Yes, people, this is the glamourous life.

Oh, I'm SO scared



















Yeah, this "horra" film didn't seem so horrific, given that it was directed by Fruit Chan. Go figure.

Oh hail the bells























Beautiful facade of a building ... a church.

Ahhhhh....
























Had an early breakfast at Garden Cafe and sat out in the garden.  So wonderful!  Oh, and the sweet potato pancakes are to die for!!

Cottage trees
























Woke up from a two hour nap and proceeded to write my grocery list. This is what came out when I started. I think I should have fallen back asleep at this point. Cheesey.

Saturday dim sum and then some



















Had my occasional dim sum day with Kerry and drove past this place along the way. Love that they left out the R in Karma. I felt less than compelled to go see the love specialist who can't spell. Namaste.

Arts District Block Party
























This is the glass artwork in the cafe at the DMA. Walked around the arts district with cute boy and enjoyed the weather and all the goings-on. Love the museums.

Moments of peace. Quiet. TV off. Making cranes. Sounds of summer outside. Reading about human potential. Nice evening. Love.

Kiddo strikes a pose

Fun with sculptures
























He's big and he's metal and he's fun. He's the traveling man and he reigns over Deep Ellum. Fantastic!

Waterlogged...



















My niece came out this weekend. Thoughtful, beautiful, sweet and prone to ask interesting questions. This weekend she asked if God would create a rock too big to roll. Hmmm.

Atty and the sink
























And the funny thing is that sometimes the water is not on and he's doing this. Weirdo.

Rollin' it out, baybee!
























Back on the rollerblades...sweatin' as an oldie. Man, its hot in Texas right now.

A bangin' good time

















Well, today was an interesting day.  Unexpectedly, I decided to go with my mom and sister to the gun range for a little bonding time.  Odd, I know.  My first time in a gun range and my first time to shoot a gun.  Not exactly on my bucket list, but I'm glad I did it.  Turns out I did pretty good.  If you'll notice in the photo to the right, I hit the center circle...and not once, but twice!  I managed to shoot the same spot twice...imagine that!!  I made the hole a bit bigger with the second shot.  It was an odd feeling.  Not so sure I like firing a gun...it was a little disconcerting.  That, and it was hot in there AND there was a little too much taxidermy action in the whole place for my liking, but I was able to use my NRA handshake on one of the employees.  Where else can I do that? Bangin' good time.

Talented niece...























Here's my niece.  She showed me something she put together from my paper supplies.  Talented, cute kiddo. Very proud of her!

My dad, doing his greenscreen thang. He takes the ballerina out of the photo and puts her on a fancy background. Good to see him doing what makes him happy.

Ronnie needs a new throat and a cleaner nostrils.  Meanwhile the Beatles are playing in the background. Fantastic.

Stoned presidents

















What else ya gonna do while in Houston but go see some stoned presidents? Kind of an odd little excursion. Still not sure what's on Obama's head.  Whatevs.

Fortunate or freakish?
























Is this double-fused fortune cookie fortunate or freakish?  Your call. I say for-too-nate!

Sunday, May 23, 2010

No! No! No!

















Walking in Northpark, minding my own business, when I'm assaulted by this fashion NO! First of all,  in the left photo, what is the mannequin on the right doing?  That just looks uncomfortable.  Number two, fringe should never have left the reservation...these are a NO, NO, NO!  Can I get an amen?

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Yes, I had to go there ...























Come on ladies! Do I have to spell it out? We're supposed to be the clean ones, remember!
