Another Little Work!

I got stuck in traffic on a bridge last week, and took this with my iPhone as I sat there.

Ready For Some Dreary Weather!

Latest Work Of Art

Was standing outside with my dear husband the other night, and the moon was showing through the trees.  The image simply inspired me, so I had to capture it!

LimeWire File-sharing Shut Down, and Other Musings

We all knew it was a matter of time.  I, for one, did not use the service, because I didn't want to get caught up in all the legal crap of illegal downloading.  I know some people who are going to be ticked!!!  Oh well, I've been warning them for years.

Okay, so I have a problem.  It was my understanding that there would not be a costume day at work this year, so I only ordered one temporary spiderweb tattoo for my costume (Abby Sciuto).  Well, at the last minute, they have decided to have a contest.  I can't use the only tat I have, because I need it for a party Sunday night.  If I had the money right now (at least $50), I would just get it applied with henna and be done with it, but I don't have the spare cash right at the moment, and Friday morning will be to late.  So, I've done some research, and I think I'm going to get some tracing paper, a black marker, and some liquid bandage, and have my husband draw it on the night before.  I mean, I need to do that with the arm tattoos as it is.  Ugh...this isn't going to be fun...

Douglas Adams Quote Day

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”

“I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.”

“We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.”

“In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.”

And one all should know.....

“The Answer to the Great Question Of.....Life, the Universe and Everything.....(is) Forty-two.”

Road Bumps

Why must life contain so many road bumps and potholes?  Why isn't it possible to find a nice, smooth, paved road to ride on every now and then?  I am ready for a smooth ride...even if just for a little while!

Good Thing The Cruise Wasn't THIS Week...

Our friends on the ship have run into some nasty weather due to the tropical storm in the Gulf.  Yesterday, they had could not dock in Jamaica.  Today, they were set to bypass Grand Caymen.  One of our friends described the ship bouncing around like a toy boat in the bathtub with 3 toddlers!  Sounds pretty nasty out there.

I set up a web site today for my photographic works of art.  Trying to get the ball rolling to turn this "hobby" into a way of life for me.  Figure the first step is exposure, and the web is great place for that!

What A Day!!

Things have been a little crazy at work today after returning from vacation.  A couple of things have also emerged on the home front that are bringing a bit of stress.  I already want to be back on the boat!  I don't care if they don't get paid jack.  Put what I want into storage (including my car), sell the house, and go get a job on a cruise ship.  Room and board plus about $300/week?  I think I can do that...LOL.

I have tried to de-stress today by doing a little photo editing work and updating my online gallery.  Just a sample:

Ugh! Just What I Thought!

Well, the scale was not my friend this morning.  I had done so well to get within about 6 lbs of my goal weight before the cruise, but now I'm up about 7.  Hoping it is mostly water weight from all that rich food and not drinking enough water.  I know we did a lot of walking which would count as exercise, and I really didn't go overboard on the food.  Did some shopping today to get some foods to help me back on track, and back to the gym for me tomorrow.
