kidding around

I'm bring back the treehouse

I'd like a door like this

Awhile back I had lost my hard drive losing
most of my digital photos.
I found some discs that i had luckily burned
a lot of photos on to.
So I decided as back up and as gifts
I would make volumes of the first 3 years of G.'s little life.
I went for the mini books.
We make all our business cards from Moo
I had the mini books made from Snapfish.

I would love a punch-n-cuddle

Confetti Graffitti

I was born in the wrong year

It only takes 2 reasons...


Every one keeps asking if I have one or want one.
Why I wont buy a Kindle:
I love the smell of books.
I love reading in the bath.

Breaking up is hard to do


This year i decided to cut back and cut out.
One of the things i said i would cut back on  was the
amount of time i was attached to my Blackberry and Computer.
It wasn't working,so i had to cut out,cold turkey.
Just like that I dropped my blackberry.
Thus now i spend more time on my computer??
A flaw in my plan.
Another thing I said I would cut back on was gadgets.
I love me a good gadget and don't ever use half of what i 
want. Mainly because I don't have the tech savvy to understand all that goes into a great gadget.
You can imagine my dilemma when i cam across this new email gadget

*Wish List*

We're slowly starting the process of a redecoration.
In our house that means wants and needs.
We like to start with wants,forget the needs.*
*wishlist so far


I'm fighting for a small breakfast nook , just like this

I'd like that cabinet and chair


An organized desk is my top priority




This chair is what I'm looking for. Actually anything in 
Lisa Wong Jackson's house I'll pretty much take.

watching: "Blue Planet Series" with the kid,David Attenborough is pretty much god in our house.
listening: Adele,she's growing on me,sappy girl songs 
and in case you think you've heard that song before, you have.
reading: Michael Ondaatje, DivisaderoOnly on page 30 but i can already tell this will leave me awaken.

I'm not a big baker. I do my share of cooking and I try to always find something new to cook.
This year I'm starting a supper club with friends,along with the book club.

i finally used the G10 yesterday ,if only for a kids birthday party. Just to get used to the feel.
I'm falling in love with it. This coming from someone who doesn't do digital..ssshh don't tell the dark room
currently being built at the gallery for me.

a little of this a little of that

a fact about me: I am the worst breakfast eater ever.

Fact #2:I often dream of bookshelves and studios.
Someday I'll get around to fixing mine up

I heart everything about this photo.
the b/w,lighting,model,pose,shoes,hair and even the sheets.

Hello From the Worst Blogger Ever:


I'm starting out slowly
easing my way back into the world of blogging.
A few lists and links to keep you busy as I formulate a plan of attack



Maybe I'll get around to posting 2009 pictures.

I'm liking these paintings

remodeling gallery
wanting to paint inside house
growing my belly
G. and I will be doing our first school Valentines day cards this week.
Teachers passed out a list of names of all the kids in her class.
I told her we had to make cards for all the kids in her class.
she said " i dont know them"
it's her first week in her new preschool and she doesn't know any of the kids
and she was wondering if she has to make cake too.

The blue mail box on the corner of the blvd.in front of the gallery  is gone.
Just like that now i have to walk 5 blocks to post my mail.
Times must be tough if the post box is getting knicked?

Raining and hail in LA. going on 4 days straight,last week it was in the 80's.
Dream house fantasies..i wish ..i wish..i wish..

ipod listening:
(also a great video)
Kings of Leon
Irving

Hungarian Suicide Song: Gloomy Sunday
as seen  and sung here in a film
wish i had a translation.
I've never seen the film but after this clip I'm hunting it down.
It will be a nice break from watching the complete series of this.
A guilty pleasure at work time waster.

Reading from the library :
Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis
I Love You, Beth Cooper
Ms.Hempel Chronicles
Watchmen (for my book club and it wasn't even my awesome pick)

The Pretty Good Jim's Journal Treasury: The Definitive Collection of Every Publish Cartoon by Jim
Two of my new favorite blogs :

that's all i have for now.
I had grand plans to write and write and have loads of links.
Truth be told though, I'm just to cold and sleepy today.
