Of Cars and Coffee Filters

I have serious awe for the gift of design; this would be why my two favorite reality television shows are So You Think You Can Dance and Project Runway. I love them, I love them, I love them.

I took a few photos while watching the latest episode to document my delight!

Garage Sale Babes

We are still learning how to take pictures of ourselves....my arm moved. Today was garage sale day, in honor of raising money for our annual winter Ya Ya beach trip.





Snack Time....sweet mint-pesto brownies made by Cindy, they were a surprise to my taste buds as the following photos declare.

Me thinks they taste weird.

Can someone please count the loot?

It was a historic day, junk=cash! The Ya Yas and I decided to pool our junk and see what kind of cash we could generate. It was a pleasant day of people watching and girlfriend chatting, lightly sprinkled with good food and warm, strong, coffee. I do enjoy watching what people are hunting for, what people buy and what people are willing to chat with strangers about as they shop for trinkets.

My favorite customer was Jo-Bob, a 10 year old neighbor boy who had 9 dollars to spend and spent 1.5 hours to do so....one item at a time. He would pay for an item, put it in his bag and then go shop for the next item he wanted. He painstakingly put effort and heart into every item consideration and final choice. His finale selection was a doll for his sister that was priced 3 dollars higher than than the 2 dollars he had left in his hand. How could I resist such a purchase?....I let the price lower to his budget.

After my fellow garage sale buddies left I spent several hours with my trusty DVR viewing the other historic events of the day along with the Project Runway episode I have been saving. Oh my gosh...that show needs to be my next blog topic...it Rocks!

I Feel So Informed

Sitting at my dining room table, enjoying my Sunday after church brunch of toasted/buttered Squirrely Bread with coffee and skimming the sections of our local Kitsap Sun newspaper trying to decide which section to read first.

Hummmm, do I want to read the ads? Better not...that will tempt me to spend money I am trying to save. Well then...how bout the wedding announcement page? Nah, I want to save that section till last…I just love the wedding announcements.

Aha! I spot it, right on the front page of Section C...“Kidney Stones Linked to Global Warming”.

Laughter eruption….my toast and coffee choking up my throat!!!!

Even though I am tempted, I am not going there…not going to spew about how much I tire of the victim minded bull c*** associated with our culture’s global warming OCD.

I decide instead to Google "____linked to global warming” where I find a few other hysterical associations you should all be aware of.
1. The Hollywood sign is melting thanks to global warming.
2. Dandruff causes global warming.

This new "information" may keep me laughing all week!!!
