Yes, she was really surprise. HA! Let that be a warning to all you 30 somethings. My husband says I'm a good liar. I like to think of it as creative speaking. How did I do it? ACTING! BRILLIANT! (old SNL skit)

a dry red wine

I found this yummy red wine at Your Dekalb Farmers Market. It's an italian red and a deal $12. I would buy this again.

4/29 sketch

a friend of a friend found this cool website (after someone attempted to rob him, in front of his own home) where you can "sketch" someone's face and give it to the police. Here's a sketch I did of myself. I forgot to give myself a chin. dang it!

Pic(ture) of the day 4/22

I started doing this with my friend Erin after she moved to New York. I send her a photo and she'll send me one. We call it Pic of the day. Although it doesn't happen every day. :)

Let's see if I can post a new photo everyday.

Above is a fig leaf. I first saw a fig tree at Kellie's new house. I am slightly obsessed with them now. I love their leaves and love the way the branches grow. I desperately want mature fig trees in my yard, since my house is up for sale. I will have to wait...
Right now I'm trying to root cuttings, I got from Polly.

Fasha- After Bath

here is Fasha after the "furminator" bath . She's fluffy and smells great!

Today's Lunch

The torino piadina at Little Azio's. The food was good but the service was lacking.

The camera was set to "food scene" in the scene section.

Lily of the Valley

Spring 08 photos of my Lily of the Valley I dug out of my Grandpa's yard 3 or 4 years ago

Fasha & Rocco

I dropped Fasha off at Wagalots for a furminator grooming treament. Let's hope it works!

Here's a before shot (Rocco was just along for the ride)

Birthday Party!

This weekend I had the best birthday party ever. I would never throw parties because I never thought my house was big enough. I always thought if it rains then people would be stuck inside. Well this weekend was my 35th birthday party and it poured and thundered and lightninged (can you believe that's a real word) and people still showed up and still had fun. :)

Nails by Logan

I got a special treat yesterday! A manicure, sorta. I managed to only have one hand done, thankfully.

Irises

I got these grape scented purple irises from Glennis aka The Flower Lady. They like dry soil and full sun.

Thanks Flower Lady!

Brunch at Shaun's

the mimosas and beignets were a hit.

Tornado hits East Atlanta Village

This is where I get my oil changed. Note the sign. Yikes!

For Sale

One sister for sale!
One sister for sale!
One crying and spying young sister for sale!
I'm really not kidding,
So who'll start the bidding?
Do I hear a dollar?
A nickel?
A penny?
Oh, isn't there, isn't there, isn't there any
One kid who will buy this old sister for sale,
This crying and spying young sister for sale?


okay not my sister, but my house is for sale.
I've always loved that poem

So after six years, we've decided to see if we can sell our house and find another...
