Alter Ego

I just like this pic. My hair looks good, I love the pink, and the mirror is lovely. Would have been even cooler If I could figure out how to get rid of my reflection. Ha that would be neato.

My Sister's Keeper

My mom is such a softy. A guy who cuts her grass found these two lil ones when they were maybe three weeks old. I forgot where he found them, but he kept an eye out for the mother to return. She never did. He brings them to my Mom and she takes them in. She did not take them to the local SPCA, she stated "they destroy them pretty fast down there" me:"even the kittens" she said :"yes, they don't keep them long" SIGH.....
So she keeps them separated from her other two cats, male....Rudy and Midnight (supposedly a temporary setup from my Uncle, but Midnight has been at my Mom's for two years now). Rudy and Midnight are both black -one has green eyes the other has light gold eyes. Also, Midnight has Rudy by about 10 lbs too.
So the itty bitties are girls and so cute. They've grown and are very well litter trained. They call one of the cat carriers a bedroom, since they are still small enough to share. One is noticeably smaller than the other. My neice named them after two more recently popular little sisters. Yeah not original at all.
And my Uncle has dubbed them the "TWIN KILLERS", yeah he has a weird fascination with domestic cats. I myself always ask about the "Tit Tats" as we shared a room with them during my recent visit. They are absolutely adorable and so playful. Now the decision is to adopt them out, since my Mom really has no room for FOUR cats and a partially blind, partially deaf, older gray terrier mix pup. They however, do not wish to separate the "girls". So for now they are safe, fed, together, loved and well cared for.

How ya like me now???
















This was a 2 month project. I primed it a few days after I bought it. It took me three weeks to decide on the color. A few friends suggested red. I thought maybe a dark pink or pale green. Decided I would not paint the interior. I was thinking of wallpapering it. I chose gray, after my favorite short story "The Sky is Gray". I went on vacation. I came back and found the perfect shade of gray at Big Lots, however it was an oil based paint and I used a latex primer. I decided I did not have it in me to buy a gallon of gray paint, HD did not sell it in quarts. I bit the bullet and went near the spray paint and found the PERFECT gray, bought two cans. Satin Granite to be exact. I prepped my "studio" AKA the balconey and donned a gas mask, this spray paint offers a double coat in one layer, went on nicely and evenly. Spray painted the hardware. Reapplied another gray coat in 48 hours. Brought it in due to rain and noticed a few sparse patches. Asked Alex to pick up a third can. Covered the patches. Took two days off from my project. Reapplied the doors and the hardware. Decided I really like the unpainted interior, I liked the brownish orange color. Added pic, flowers , hid the mags, added my Chinese Junk and THE END.

Gas Face


The color is Satin Granite. However, I ran across another color which I liked best BATTLESHIP GREY at Big Lots $15 a gallon. But it was an oil paint and I had already used a latex primer. Satin Granite was a spray paint, which I rarely use, but the finish was much nicer. I'm not a professional painter, and lack those fluid even strokes. Spray paint is my new best friend. Gotta research "green" spray paint for the next project.

I can't see the forest for the trees




4th of July @ St Augustines. We get there early, it's hot and humid. We find a spot. Spend an hour and a half people watching, chit chatting, taking pics, rolling our eyes as "late arrivers" park they happy a$%es in front of us. It gets dark. The fireworks start. A CLUSTER OF PALM TREES BLOCKS OUR VIEW OF THE SHOW! Ain't this about a ........

Neicey poo-Atlantic City


I love this pic! I had to make her pose, she was just going to stand there like a dork! lol
I enjoyed the eight hour drive (one way), even though Miss Soon to Get Her Learner's Permit -told me it was only FOUR. Never listen to a sixteen year old. Glad ya'll have a GPS.
