Just A Casual Post.....HERE?!

 (Casual Long Sleeve T-shirt by deboy2000)

      I had all kinds of things I thought I wanted to tell you about this morning, but when I thought about telling you...it seemed like waaaaay too much talking to have to do...with my fingers! ^_^ You know, the same way it does when you have a dream that seems soooo real, and then you go to try to tell somebody about it...and it doesn't make sense any more! O_O

      And then you try to explain why certain things were the way they were in the dream, and why they didn't make sense...and then the dream starts to make even 'less' sense! O_O And then you try to fill in all the blank spaces and nonsensical things, and 'make it' make sense!...and then the dream not only doesn't make ANY sense, but it also doesn't seem real any more!! LOL 

      Well, that's the way my list of things to tell you went! ^_^ So, I'm not even gonna go there!! ^_^ Instead I'm just gonna keep it light and casual. I'm gonna share some casual wear, like the cute t-shirt dress in the header photo! :-] Doesn't it look comfy/cozy?! :-) And I really like the graduating colors of brown and black....and the boots! :-) I don't think the boots come with it though. ^_^

      And if you don't wanna be all 'up tight' about time, and you just wanna keep it casual...how about some clocks on your ears that don't really tell the time...but they tell a certain time, all the time! :-)

      Cute! :-) ... Yeah, that's the same kinda time I wanna be telling today!

      And suppose you're an artist...an artist who doesn't wanna 'have to' be doing anything, except painting?...Wouldn't this be the perfect photo on your wall, to tell everybody who you are, what you do, and what mood you're in?!...You're in the mood to paint!! :-) ...

      And then there's 'ME'! :-)) I wanna be casual too!...but my casual involves looking out of a backyard window and seeing NO SNOW falling! YAY! ^_^ Unfortunately, it only means that it isn't falling right at this minute!...Yes. We're due to get some more snow...a wintry mix they call it...a little later this afternoon.

      The other casual I usually am doing is napping. :-) And I do it well!!...In fact, why isn't there an Olympic napping sport?! O_O ... Not that I would enter!...I'd be asleep somewhere!! ^_^ ... But if I wanted to enter, I wouldn't need skis, a snowboard, a rock or curling brush, helmets, or bobsleds! This would be my accessory! LOL...

      Hmmm...when I look back at the post I realize....Uhhhhhh...it still was a lot of talking! LOL So...mission NOT accomplished. BUT...it was casual!! ^_^ Have a good and casual day, Everybody!! ♥

Am I awake?!...And If so...Why Am I Seeing Blue?!

(13X19 Art Print Illustration by Phizzwizard)

       Hello!...Yes, I'm up! And for a change, I'm up at the time I'm suppose to be up!...even though I went down last night at a time that I wasn't suppose to go down, and woke up thinking it was a time that it wasn't!! LOL I woke up a little after nine, and thought it was nine a.m. instead of p.m.!!

      One of these days I'm gonna get used to this new work schedule of hubby's...One of these days!!! ^_^ In the meantime, I'm seeing blue!...blue skies out my window, and blue shades in the items I was scoping on Etsy! :-) ...

      I thought the baby footprints keychain was such a great idea!...especially because you can have your own baby's footprints there!!...not that I have a baby! But if I did.....! ^_^ ... And why didn't I think of the handy loop on the water bottle cozy?!!!...Oh Well, I'll just have to admire the creative mind behind it, and clap for a great idea realized!....*clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!* :-)

     On a completely different subject, I had a custom order to do yesterday. It felt so good to finally have some crocheting to do...and the time and mindset to do it! (I'm battling a new schedule and pollen allergies! Grrrrr!)

      Are there any other men out there needing a little crochet boutonniere for a wedding?!...COME AND GET 'EM!! ^_^ Just let me know what color you need!!

     Okay, now that I'm awake I better take advantage of the time! I have some studying to finish, and a little more crocheting to do! :-) Just being me! :-) ... You have a good day, and just be YOU!! :-)

Let's Travel and See Some Pictures From Around Blog World!

     Hubby and I stayed home and had boneless spare ribs for our 'Date Night' last night. We hadn't had them in a while....and I'm kinda wishing we hadn't had them last night! I think the restaurant where we got them, Take-Out, has a new cook. And frankly he's not very good....Okay, he doesn't know how to cook!! LOL Everything tasted unseasoned and chewy. And for your information...and his...pork ribs, even boneless pork ribs, are not suppose to be chewy!!!
    So, this morning I was longing to see some things that are always the same. Things I can count on, and that are  not all of a sudden tasting like...or looking like...shoe leather! Guess where this thought took me?! To all your your blogs!! I'm so enthralled at how everybody has their own way of doing things, and their own way of looking at the world. I hope you won't mind me sharing some of your photos.
    The header picture is one of my favorites...hands down....of the photos that I saw around blog world this week! Cindy, of CinLynn Boutique,

       ...and her husband Phil,

     ...went on a weekend trip.

      She did a three part blogging tour to tell the story. The photos I'm sharing with you today are ones from that Part three.

       If you want to know where it is, check out the blog, starting with Part one--> HERE. But please check out the other two parts too. BEAUTIFUL photos!!
     At Twenty-TenFotos there was a shot that took my breath away!!

           Water and sky in Croatia. And a child enjoying it. Awwwww!
     You ever think about going on a balloon ride?! I never did, until I saw this blog post about ballooning, on the "Beautiful Day" blog....

     I still don't think I'm ready to take flight yet, but I enjoyed the blog post and the pictures!! :-)
    Then there was the cute story and pictures of little Emma's excursion to a botanical garden, on the blog "And baby makes three..." There's some really nice pictures there. This is just one.

    I'm so captivated by all of your pictures and stories. :-) And sometimes all it takes is a picture!! Look!!!!

       Wanna learn how to make these chocolate dipped potato chips?! Go over to the blog http://framed-mylifeonepictureatatime.blogspot.com/2010/10/chocolate-dipped-potato-chips.html" I just like saying chocolate dipped potato chips!!...I'll say it again...CHOCOLATE DIPPED POTATO CHIPS!!!! LOL
     There were tons of other beautiful pictures and blog posts around the web this week. But since I can't show them all to you I just showed you the ones that really caught my eye. And I say to all of you talented, wonderful bloggers...Keep up the good work!!! I'm always looking!! :-)
