Happy Birthday!

And so here we are, birthdays all over the place at this time of year. But, I wanted to send a special wish to a good friend.

Thank you for being you! Thank you for getting me off the couch and out into the world, when I was lost. Thank you for being so organized, and so kind, and so trustworthy! Thank you for forgiving me all my bad behavior.

But most of all, thank you for being my good friend. I will never lose sight of you again. I promise. Cross my heart....

Happy 40 something! It only gets better from here....

Love ya, girlfriend!

October's Almost Here

So....are you a good witch?

Or a witch who likes to have a good time???

In Kansas, you only get to be one OR the other....it's TOTALLY why I live in MISSOURI!

Blue Heelers

Okay, I just found this picture on a Blue Heeler website. Can I just say that fella on the left is the spitting image of my Best Boy? Mel, you are one rockin' poster dude!

Plaza Art Fair 2007

It's that time of year again! The Plaza Art Fair. Great fun, if it's not too hot. Cindy and Shelly and I spent a few hours rubbing elbows with the artists, the crowd, and at least a few four footed friends. It was cool to see everything: The art, the people, the mundane and unusual. I finally ponied up this year and bought something...a signed picture of a graveyard in Ireland. Not that I'm morose or anything, it's a pretty cool picture. I'm just trying to figure out now where to hang it...front hallway might be a little too intense for visiting guests. Bathroom...too scary for those about to shower. Bedroom, well maybe in the guest bedroom/workout room. It'll remind me my time here is limited, so I better get to it!

I've been cleaning this weekend (should've told everyone to sit down first, I know). It's true, this girl can actually accomplish quite a lot when the time is right...and friends, let me tell you, I'm about to hit the basement, pack up some unwanted history, and move on. It's about time I created a space for a new beginning and said goodbye to the past. I know, I know...you are collectively breathing a sigh of relief. Me Too.
