Morning all.....

UGH... is it Friday yet?

yay for coffee!
g'morning and happy friday to all

Phew. I had a moment of confusion and panic there. Note to self.... don't drink more than one cup of British tea in the morning. Having a caffeine high here. How do you get rid of that? I don't like it.

Eat crackers! (I don't know if that really works but it seems like a sound suggestion don't you think?)

There is hoarfrost all over the trees this morning, I must admit that is quite pretty.

Oh and thanks for the info krikit!

Ok, so I took a picture of the frost, I call this 'Frost on Trees'

that's pretty!

Crackers! Of course! That was always one of my Mom's home cures. And getting more exercise. And more church. And getting to bed on time. And a hot bath. And tea. And going to the bathroom. So what if you don't need to. Try.

"Frost on Trees" is awesome. Get a closeup!!!

Had a terrible dream last night.. was in a crumbling large building that was on fire, and my mother was there. She was killed when the building collapsed - i got out just before it did.. horrible dream.. UGH.. stress sucks.

Ok, so here are the closeups - I call this set of pictures 'got the bottom of my pant legs wet standing in the snow taking pictures'

Crazy!
I dreamt a few days ago that a friend walked into a building and it completely exploded.
Sat straight up in bed and looked around.
They do feel real to me.
sigh....
yup, stress and anxiety, bleh!

Now do something really nice for yourself.
This is your task.
Get a sheet of paper or journal and write in it all you want to manifest in your life.
Take a tiny step towards one of those things each day.

You go girrrrl!

Closer! I'd like to see one single twig, please. Unless you've changed your pants already.

We are lazy bums today.. we just woke up!

Very quiet in here this morning!

Good morning!

Here's a cuppa this morning. Gene and I had a lovely 3 day long weekend here. Weather was gorgeous. Yesterday we hit the Soulard area of St. Louis to watch the Barkus pet parade, a kick off to Mardi Gras. As one of the world’s premiere pet attractions, the Beggin’ Strips Barkus Pet Parade is celebrating its 15th anniversary of being the place to be seen for dogs and their owners wanting to show off their Mardi Gras inspired costumes. More than 8,000 pets and 80,000 people, decked out in purple, green and gold, are expected to parade through the streets of Soulard, St. Louis’ very own French Quarter. All of the tail-wagging good fun starts at 1:00 p.m. as the one-of-its-kind yellow Beggin’ Strips float leads the parade followed by a massive sea of colorfully dressed pets. Attendees will be lined up, shoulder to paw, on the city streets to catch the special Mardi Gras-inspired beads being tossed down from the float.

g'morning all. i read an interesting story in ot, can i still feel canadian?

Good morning! I'm glad you had such a nice weekend Carla

Charles, that sounds like a riddle, it's too early in the morning for a riddle, what did you read

Oh and it's really cold here today - minus 32 c right now brrr.

YIPPEEE!

My (quicky) week/weekend news:

~ bought new washing machine - killed old one OOPS!
~ bought mega huge ext HD; will be finally emptying my poor internal harddrive of the almost 10,000 photos and other large graphic files
~ spontaneous marriage license acquisition (Wed)
~ got some really cool wedding bands (Thur) (the ones we designed and ordered are not done yet; those we will use in our sacred wedding ceremony, later)
~ sweet l'il outfit to tie the knot in (Thur); could not see myself doing that in clothes with old energy; even the nice ones
~ got married...just city hall legal thingie; wedding celebration to come (hopefully February 29th, if the stars shine on us and the planets line up just right)
~ borrowed wheels from in-laws (they have too many vehicles)...just some old hunk-a-junk: a flaming red BMW! You know how fast those things go? And how they handle? Mwahahaha!!! I am not stuck in the burbs anymore...going exploring!
~ got supplies for refurbishing house: wallpaper removal, hole filler, tools, primer, paint, brushes, rollers..fun fun
~ moved all furniture and clothes from upstairs to main level; it's all ready for the work now

How was your weekend?

Mmmm...enjoying my fair trade cappuccino, and relishing in what life is.



PS When does Summer come?
sigh....
I am truly allergic to Winter!

Sounds like you had a FUN week Spirit! Congratulations and best best wishes on your recent marriage! Pictures!!

Winter is just around the corner....

lol - yes, you can still feel Canadian.

Charles to be Canadian you must get more Canuck cred. First you must change your name, henceforth you are not Charles or Chuck but C-Dog. Get a proper conveyance, preferably an Escalade but an Old Skool pimpmobile is good. Drive around in a '77 Lincoln Continental and people look at you differently (something I know from personal experience). If you're over 30 you can't wear a Kangol hat and/or have your pants hanging down, you need a sky (a purple bowler will do or get one of Eugene Whelan's old hats ). Get lots of bling (gawdy rings and chains are good) and a cane with an overly elaborate pommel. Come to think of it....Look at how Don Cherry dresses, if that's not OG I don't know what is. Don't hate the playa hate the (good, old, hockey) game.

BTW, one more thing, less George Jones, more Geto Boys.

Good good morning! Here's a hot cup of coffee...particularly for those of you in sub artic temps today. Ick! I spoke to my daughter last night and she said it will be -48 with the windchill today??! Yikes! Snow as well. They had some whiteouts and blizzards there, and buses were stuck or couldn't get around. Horrible stuff. Yesterday and today it was in the high 50's. Going to get cold however in the next few days...cold for here mind you. I DO want to qualify that!

Enjoy your day!

C-Dog, be careful what you ask for.

I only have one rule for men: Beware of females with sharpened cutlery or heated kitchen utensils. That part about being a little gay almost sounds like the script of a porno.

More on the good wifey:

clickie!

I think I'm in love.

Now you have me ROTFLMFAO!!
