Halloween 2011
Halloween fell on a Monday this year. I felt somewhat creative so I went ahead and painted alternating
colors on my fingernails. Spooky! Only later did I realize that I did not paint my fingers symmetrically. I
had hoped to paint some ghouls on there too, but just as I was getting
ready to do so the trick or treaters started knocking on our door. It always happens like that for me! Oh
well, so much for perfectionism.
I don't know how many times I am going to rewrite this one, but the picture says it all.
When I was pregnant I spent much of my spare time watching YouTube videos. While watching them I stumbled upon the world wide web's beauty gurus - everyday creative and tech-savvy ladies who blog about fashion, make up, skin care, and shopping. I decided to jump into the dialog and give it a whirl.
Dan and I barbecued this weekend. The day started out cloudy and remained so - except for a brief flash of sun for what seemed a minute. We had five friends over and plenty of food to go around. At one point our neighbors came by which was very cool. Even though I was looking forward to barbecuing I felt unprepared. I made a side dish with butternut squash. The squash could have been cooked longer or perhaps just cut smaller; the pieces were tough. Otherwise it was all good.The next time we bbq, I might add asparagus to our shopping list for grilling (or maybe zucchini). Another good idea would have been frying a pound of bacon to make the burgers taste delicious.
Not bad.
I began creating this small corner of cyberspace around 2008. Primarily it served as a diary or journal. It has been challenging to decide upon what content to include without sacrificing privacy and what the site should look like. The possibilities are endless. I am still hoping to be more creative in its design although I know it is pretty rough right now. All I can say is, "Please be patient."
