My Life In Pictures...

Tom Waits 4EVAH! / new record player / aftermath of buying new record player / dark circles and sniffles / Valdosta vintage / beautiful day on the porch / organizing, yes, more records / sun splashed Tullah / interesting VOD (vegetable of the day) at the GRIT / earthy mushrooms and my favorite berry bowl / Winthrope is a good sleeper / potato heart love

I don't know if it's because I worked 30 of the last 37 hours or if my friend/co-worker brought back some travel bug from her trip to the Dominican Republic but I'm sick (and she's sick) with a lovely stomach virus.  Is this TMI?  Well, it's given me the time that was to be devoted to finishing up my research paper but is now all about movies (This Must Be The Place & Butter), sparkling water and more doggy snuggles than usual.  I just hope that I feel better by later this morning since we have plans to visit the High Museum again for the Frida-Rivera exhibit as well as see friends and find a few tea houses and buy kitchen stuff at IKEA...and buy more more records too!  Whoa, busy day ahead...

A trip out of town and a day off will do me good, I think, even if I'm still a bit green 'round the gills.  Lately I've felt a lot of negativity swirling around me and that includes the blog-o-sphere.  It's as if some folks aren't having rational conversations anymore and instead are just shouting out dislike/anger/judgement at each other or at the moon...and I really dislike shouting.  Maybe it's silly of me to say anything when I just moaned about my illness but I can't help feeling the way I do.  La, we all have our struggles and I'm not judging folks (myself included) for having an off day/week but rather I'm just being aware of my emotional center and how it's affecting my world...and my emotional center is very sensitive right now it seems. 

Anyhoo, let me turn to another topic and ramp up the positivity, eh?  Want to see all the stuff I've been finding on the web?!?

Last week, I had my first manicure in several years and I didn't like using all the gunky bad-for-you nail polish provided.  I found these vegan, natural and cruelty-free options to keep around instead...

Catlanta, won't you stash a kitty for me to find today?

Is this even real?!?

My drunk kitchen features custard and Dr. Who...love, love, love.
