Home Sweet Home & WWC

We arrived home yesterday from our 3 night stay in Hot Springs. Everything was nice, I'll detail the story shortly. I've had tons of photos to filter through, and I'm trying desperately to get them ready to present to you guys so you can enjoy a glance at our trip. I'd like the photos to accompany my little rundown of our weekend's events, so that it can bring it to life for you all. So come back soon and see that--I may have it up before the day is over, if not first thing in the morning.

Meanwhile, I'm running late on the day (as I took today as an extra day off), and haven't even posted my WWC for this week (brought to us, as always by the sparkly and magical Tink of Pickled Beef. This week's words are "Disguise" and "Reflection".


"Mr. J (Richie) posing here with Sophia Loren"

For my official "entry", I am incorporating both into one photo... the photo is just a bit fuzzy, but it illustrates what I want. While in Hot Springs, we visited the Wax museum downtown and one of the shots of the Sophia Loren figure I took caught Mr. J in the background... If you think about it, he might be one of the many wax sculptures... or maybe he's just Mr. J. He seems to be 'disguised' within the museum scenery though, to me. As well, it he was caught up in the 'Reflection' as the escalator scene is against a mirror.

Bonus:

These couple of photos also along the escalator scene, are reflective. Just a taste of the photos I have planned for my Picasa web album... However, when I post the Picasa web album selections, they'll include Lake scenes, and photos from our visit to the Garvin Woodland Gardens trail... and a few others. So, come back and check those out soon!!

Have a great afternoon everybody!! It's good to be home.

Great photos.

I've been to a wax museum once and found a lot of the wax figures to be a little creepy. Lots were really life-like too though.

Can't wait to see your trip photos.

Oh sweet Jebus. I didn't catch on that they were wax figures at first and I was thinking, "Was is WRONG with those people??" LOL. Great pics.

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await...

Thirsty

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
