Some Bunny to Love...

When I unearthed this plate at an estate sale yesterday...
I seriously considered giving it to Mom
she (selectively) collects rabbits...


But decided it was just a tad too quirky to reside with her...
and needed to live here with me instead 


I am a thoughtful daughter...

What a Difference a Day Makes...

We went from this...
(a view from a window at work)
to this...
(a view or two from my neighbor's yard)
in just a few weeks.


I did consider taking photos from my own yard... but the only thing blooming here presently is a mighty impressive crop of dandelion greens.

It's Not Easy Being Green...

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I used this as the flimsiest of excuses
to feed my Etsy addiction...
and borrowed the following images while there...
where shopping really runs the gamut.

Lowered Expectations...

As I said earlier... this week was overly-scheduled (translation: a non-stop "I want to get off" hellish ride of impossible deadlines)... It went so far beyond "having too much on my plate" and I found myself diverting so much attention to projects... that I totally lost focus on life's little tasks... 

I went to the kitchen to brew a cup of tea and came back to my desk methodically dipping a teabag into a cup with no water... I tried to unlock my car door with my house key...(twice)... I left the office and was halfway to my car before I realized my purse was still on my desk... I distractedly cut a gash in my finger with scissors... that sort of thing...

So, this weekend I did NOTHING... I stuck my tongue out at the dust bunnies and the ironing and I just vegged... I put my feet up and pampered my battered and baffled self... and in the process I realized I'm not superwoman... I cannot have it all and, most importantly, I don't want it all...


just a little water with my tea.

Popcorn and a Movie...

Coming to the end of an overly-scheduled, non-stop week, I had just enough energy in reserve for pajamas, popcorn and a movie.  I am not going to give my take on this movie other than to recommend that you RUN to rent it ... and afterward buy it for your own collection... I am... it's beyond words wonderful...


and the popcorn wasn't too bad either...
