Paint Makeover

Came home and decided to paint the living room. Just like that. Ipod was playing, furniture was moved, baseboards were taped, and 6 hours later, the room was transformed from boring beige to creamy caramel. Just like that.

Here Comes the Sun

Saw this outside a cafe in Encinitas and it gave me a great idea for my next mosaic project - either the counter over the much talked about new front loading washer and dryer OR outside our front door after the much talked about new landscaping. We do a lot of talking.

Zorro!

Cardiff Kook today...Zorro tomorrow. The kook has survived many costumes such as Lucho Libre, Karate guy, Ninja, Ballerina and suffered such indignities as a shell bra and hula skirt. Of course, the best prank of all was being eaten by the shark. He never stays dressed for long - Cardiff officials have little humor when it comes to their beloved Kook. From the moment the Kook was put up, he's been the butt of many pranks. The artist who made him got it all wrong. He didn't figure out the surfers in Cardiff are older and more experienced - this guy is a kid with terrible form and must be put in his place. Luckily, no Kook was harmed in the playing of any pranks. But it does get people down to Cardiff to look.

Mazel Tov Yarden

Yarden had his bar mitzvah in Israel, but Shani threw a party here to celebrate. Inbar, Diane, Shani, Nehataloma, Sheryl and I were taking a lovely photo when a head popped in at the last moment. "That Guy" strikes again! Go to www.collegehumor.com and find pictures of "that guy". Have you ever been that guy?

Just what we needed...

Quick happy hour after work - Jeanne style. Invite a few friends, add some yummy appetizers and a pitcher of margaritas and instant party! Perfect for the end of the second week of school.

Much Better, Thank you.

This morning was tough - Darby was lethargic, wouldn't eat, no meows or brat behavior. I left the house in tears thinking the worst. I even woke Will up at noon for a cat check. Tonight, he was back to his old kitty self...a little more subdued, but as demanding and vocal as ever. Stay tuned.

Dream Girl

This is me in my dreams (with dark curly hair, of course)...and I'm Vespa-ing through Paris for sure. Actually, it's a dish towel, but it reminds me of who I am on the inside.
