A new student at Hogwarts?

I got misdirected emails a long time ago, people who just guessed at their friend’s email address and wound up with me. I always tried to be polite and redirect them-or at least tell them to try something different. I got another one the other day and felt playful. Here is what I originally got [...]

I live for this stuff

Feverishly trying to prove myself smarter than a fifth grader on my DS last night, I came upon this question: I realize it’s blurry, that is part of the charm of taking pictures in a hurry with a camera phone. Phone camera.  Anyway, it reads: WHAT IN NOT A TYPICAL SYMPTOM OF A BROKEN BONE? [...]

No kidding?

A collective groan is heard across the universe: Not quite as clever a headline as you’d see on fark, but almost.

Red shoes and fiaries

Hot day here. I was wearing jeans until I practically melted. We’re doing fireworks later, after the sun sets. There’s a mountain of them-I left the store so I wouldn’t hear the total bill-and I’m excited. At the firework store, which doubles as a costume store, I took this picture: It’s wrong on pretty much [...]

Caitlin with a C

I was watching Liza Minnelli’s live show, Liza with a Z, filmed in 1972-the year I was born. It was directed by Bob Fosse who was a genius when it comes to movement. Of course, I was loving it very much, it’s the music of my youth and it was Liza…I mean, LIZA! I was [...]

Still life with a 6 year old

Assuming it was Ari that set this Ken doll up before she left for vacation…He’s wearing Barbie’s pants, Happy Meal toy mask and one of his own boots on his arm. And I have NO IDEA what it means but I like it.

Pillows I have been tempted by

I actually stared at the first one for a long, long time and thought about a practical joke my parents played on wealthy friends of theirs a million years ago. The next 2 aren’t as cool, but I can tell you that they are very soft. And tempting. And kind of gross. And not tempting [...]

Further adventures at V.V.

You may well be wondering why I go to Value Village so often, and that’s very reasonable. I’m on the hunt for vintage percale sheets. That is ALL. Well, ok, you never know when you really will find a treasure, I also look at hand knit sweaters and for yarn/crafting supplies. I’ve never found anything [...]

The Cockneys are coming

And they need help with conversions, it seems. I imagine Dick Van Dyke’s voice as Bert in Mary Poppins. (I was looking for a picture of an owl. I swear.)

Dumb diddy dumb

Last night, on my way home from quilting class (which, just to be clear, I LOVE!), I was on the bus, headphones deep in my ears blaring Howard Stern when 2 LDS guys got on. I think, if I remember correctly, their names were Elder Brainwashed and Elder Superdoy. Anyway. One leaned towards me and [...]
