For our annual Halloween party I created a black light bar and made drinks that glow in a black light. Tonic water glows well under a black light because of the quinine in it, so I made “Gin & Bubonic” and tonic water ice cubes. I also had “Dr. Rotten’s Ultimate Embalming Fluid” (Tampico blueberry juice and tonic water) and Toxic Waste (Mountain Dew). Our guests loved it…but were scared to walk past the haunt that hovered over the bar (me).
If I were to fall in love with a woman, it would be Misty Tosh. She is fierce, fun, feisty and gorgeous. The beautiful, colorful blog of her fascinating life and travels makes me want to sell everything and run off with her to Baja and enjoy margaritas and Coronas on the beach.
The lovely people at Fair Indigo sent me a Jiffy the Giraffe in thanks for my last post about their Joobles line of children’s clothes. Thank you so much, I love him!
Jiffy had an adventurous first day when I took him to work at the university. I found out he is quite the hipster-intellectual.
He was quite impressed with my large monitor, but he got bored with work quickly and I caught him making copies of his bum on the photocopier.
Later in the morning he shared a Starbucks with Heath and hung out in her lap, but she had to give him back to me when he commandeered her cell phone and sunglasses and went “Hollywood” on her.
Jiffy went to lunch with Harry and me and climbed around in the library bookstacks. He is concerned with the state of the union and mostly hung out in the economics section where he become interested in a book on economic restructuring. After lunch, he wanted to check out the news so I got him a New York Times, which he happily devoured for an hour or so.
I think Jiffy had a very fulfilling day and seemed to be very happy coming to work with me. He thought the university was very nice and hopes to teach a class here someday on personal finance and the importance of saving money…and baby giraffes.
Tonight I am going to visit the West Street Market and then try to view the photos of Franz Szony at his gallery downtown. I love his style of freakish photography and Photoshopness. It would be great if he could do his version of portraits of all the famous faces in town. This woman above is definitely a wine walker.
While shopping for my soon-to-be new car, I have been enamored of the colors and curves of some of my choices. The new sub-compacts (Fit, Yaris, Mini) are like little pieces of delicious candy, ready to be unwrapped. Color will be a big part of my choice.
As I was perusing the Farmgirl Fare blog, I came across her review for the book Comfort Food. The lovely cover design struck me as so dark, juicy and sensual, that I nearly licked my monitor. That would be one of my dream jobs: to design cookbook covers.
This week, as I float along on my tiny house cloud, I have run across another lovely blog with beautiful tiny house designs. My husband and I have decided that a park model cabin is to be our dream home.
