Day 28,,, The continuing story of things I love.

I love to read. I love books. They make me happy. They make me sad. They make me think. They turn off my brain. My mother told me that I basically came out of the womb with a book in my hands (Hey wait! How did that get up there?!) I can't remember a time when I didn't read in the evening before bed. When I was a little girl I used to lay on the floor next to the door so I could read by the light coming through the crack. I love some exceptional books. I love some mediocre books. I even love some really terrible books (I have a deep unapologetic passion for the Thorn Birds)  Anyway tonight was our book club night although we had a very very low turn out I did get to talk to some ladies I love about some books I adore so I call it a success and I also call it inspiration for today's picture.

Getting a head start on the next book. I have read it 3 times already.

Day 27.... stuff I love from the man I love!

Next week Gil and I will be celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. My forward thinking husband made arrangements in advance for some beautiful flowers... however the florist made a boo boo and delivered them today. They are the most beautiful things I have ever seen, I don't even care they are 8 days early.

1453 Days of Wedded Bliss!

26 of 365 ... more things I love.

Early September brings me another one of my favorite things... new school supplies. I really love a new box of Crayons. The smell is so lovely. They are all sharp, unbroken, the paper is untorn. It makes me want to hunker down on the floor and colour my fool head off.

Sniff the rainbow!

25 of 365 ... Things I love

I was thinking that every so often I might work on a theme. It would give me something to focus on so i am not just wandering around snapping at everything. Today I am starting a week of THINGS I LOVE. This is a pretty broad category but it is pretty dang easy to find things I love around my house. Starting with...

NAIL POLISH!!

I am truly a nail polish junkie which you would never know because my nails always look so awful. This is just a very small selection of my vast collection but they are a few of my favorite. You should come over and paint your toes with me.

24/365

 

Gil and I had this mask made for Aimee last year when we were in Las Vegas. It was thank you gift for looking after the cats for two weeks of total mayhem. We looked and looked for a gift but everything was too cheesy or tacky (hello Vegas!) but then the day before we were leaving I found this booth in The Venetian and I KNEW that was the thing. Anyway, I have a major headache and that is my story. Nighty night.

Day 23

I had a really long day in the kitchen and not much time to take pictures (up to my elbows in fall baking!) but first thing in the morning I was sitting in the living room having a cup of tea and I looked over at Lulu and this is what I saw.

To give the picture context she is sleeping using a stuffed toy as a pillow and likely had no clue her tongue is doing anything out of the ordinary. I love my dog. She is special. I mean that in the un-PC kind of way.

22 of 365....

Okay I confess I am a narcissist. I take gobs of pictures of myself. Mostly it is just out of convenience because I am a willing subject and I don't get annoyed if I have to take a shot 10 or 12 times to get it right. But also because I can control what I look like, what part of me you see and don't see... etc.
