The recently discovered Catholic planters page. Wow - even the Infant of Prague is there, and many many more ... so awesome.
So here's the latest tacky planter ... isn't she cute? I think she's an angel, but I guess she could be Mary - she's so cute I couldn't resist ...

I just heard the sad sad news that Dial-A-Song is no more! They Might Be Giants have been a favorite of mine for years and years. I guess the mechanical insides of the machine that would play a song for you if you called 718-387-6962 has gone kaput. I am so sorry Dial-A-Song I so took you for granted. I used to call it when I was babysitting ... at work ... at my parents house ...

MAJOR VICTORY I TELLS YA. Check the 50's teens on the phone matching love seat tacky planters. This is the most I have ever spent $19.99 for both. Despite the great expense - I think it must be a good use as any for leftover birthday money. Go team. I plan to pot something in them upon their arrival.

I have always wanted one, but am far too cheap to spend $30 on a houseplant I, or any four-legged domestic critter living with me, would surely kill. How could I justify the expense this time??

It's in the Cyrillic alphabet and everything. Poo on that. Have you seen reruns of 80's religious programming where they city Revalation and some kind of mention of a bear, and they swear that Russia is going to start the next world war?

Fun with leftovers: turning scraps into something very cute - my color story goes from a raspberry to orange, gold, chocolate, and fuzzy mottled unused NOBO yarn from walmart - which turns out is fabulous, and Moda Dea's Cachι yarn in a great pink/orange combo with some purply pinks and gold foil throughout.

Just the same, here's the latest.

I was thinking about this yesterday because there were some fabu dining establishments out in Baltimore while I was living there. One was The Golden West Cafe which cranked out the absolute best Huevos Rancheros you'll ever have in your life!

A part of this mission is to add a lot more illustrations here. I'm hoping to buy a wacom tablet soon so I can post doodles too. I found a 6x8 Intuos 3 for $258 shipped, so this may be a late birthday gift for myself, but really it's kind of a studio tool. I am feeling the need to be more prolific in general.

The only problem is that if you record your entire runs and include your cooldown time the pace time adds like a whole minute to the run. I guess I should just count the minutes RUN. But maybe I shouldn't care as much. I think it's a lot of fun.
