words and pictures

We had a very nice morning at the beach with Youngest last weekend, and ,yes, that IS my finger. I tried that new Neutrogena stuff that blocks everything (sun, wind, UV's of all sorts) and am not sure I like it...or if I might be allergic to it as I have a big rash. Plus is does not smell like sunblock, which I suppose I associate with Coppertone scent. This is a minus.

I've been playing this word game (on the "endless" mode) and got this notice one day last week.
I can't think of any 33 letter words off hand, can you?

My friend C has moved in with his girlfriend. This is lovely news. But now he's learning about what it's like to live with someone - specifically a female with eyes on decor. He made me a little drawing of his Sunday, which involved much moving of a couple of bookcases. He's pretty adorable.

I am a little obsessed with this Rick Owens dress. It's good to be obsessed by $600 dresses as there is no possible way to purchase it.

It's a tank! A BEER TANK! At my supermarket.

The hotly traded caution tape from the swap last weekend was MINE for a about 15 minutes!

This was, IMO, the best meal of the summer - so far. Gorgeous steaks, tomatoes and mozzarella and corn (and it was the night we had the little beers).

Did you know they don't use ladders at Home Depot anymore? They use these groovy portable elevators. I was amazed.

New favorite.

We visited a wine store we haven't been to in a while and it had this contraption. Intimidating?



I know a lot of people have had problems leaving comments. Above is what the bottom of the posts should look like.

The "add a comment" link was missing from the post about your promotion (Congrats! Event planner seems like a job that was MADE for you!), but is present in the other posts.

Wouldn't it be great to have a mini-version of one of those elevators at home. Suddenly, retrieving stuff from out of reach shelves would be fun!

Yay for Goldenberg's Peanut Chews! When my husband was overseas for a time, my mom and dad sent him a care package of goodies from Pennsylvania, where they live. The package included a chocolate liberty bell and Goldenberg's, which is my favorite. Congratulations on the recognition of your talent, and the opportunity to excel. Carol

Very curious to know what is tattooed on your son's fingers.

Samoq -

Oldest has a bunch of little tattoos on his fingers...a light saber, a sword. I'm not even sure what they all are as I don't pay a lot of attention. He's a tattoo artist and tends not to discuss them though he does send me photos of each of the pieces he does.

I like them. I know (from years of lurking) his occupation, but don't remember seeing any of the tats thus far. By the way, you have an interesting flock of people surrounding you.
