My Life In Pictures

17 August 2016


Top to bottom // left to right:

// Found an amazing building in Asheville that used to house a Greek restaurant.  It had a chandelier in the stairway.  A chandelier!  And that turquoise color on everything.  I couldn't resist taking a slew of photos and then having one taken of me in my awkward glory.
// Fingernail and quarter moons = all my love.
// Another thing that has my heart?  This dog.  My Tullah Belle!
// Why a picture of me laying in a hospital room with my denim clad butt in the air?  Welllllll, the most random freaking thing ever happened at work the other day.  When I slid across one of our old church pews that serves as wall seating my dress caught a small edge of wood and turned it into a 1 & 3/4 inch long hunk of splinter that slid into my thigh like a hot knife through butter.  I had to get the thing surgically removed and a tetanus shot to boot!  Not how I imagined my Monday morning.
// Mr. Booker Man Cat in all his handsome glory.  Seriously, this cat is so sweet and so soft and so funny.  He ran away over a year ago from his original owners a few blocks over and ended up becoming our cat.  Now, we didn't know he wasn't a stray and they didn't know he'd set up a new life til he visited them when we were in Puerto Rico (he's never warmed up to our house sitter and will often camp out with our neighbor Joe when we're gone but we were all gone for 2 weeks and Booker Man wasn't having the house sitter be his only human so he snuck back to his old home) and they saw his name tag.  They were understandably upset and thought we'd kidnapped him (or they acted like that at least...understandably, I'd freak out m'self) until we told them he never came into the house of his own accord and that he's an outside kitty by choice so he'd not being held against his will.  He's free to come and go as he likes but he chooses to stay with us.  We've all reached a peaceful situation and Booker Man is happy where he is!
//  My two sweet friends at the sweets shoppe in Asheville.  How appropriate. :)
//  Weird thing found around athens #4858774305973.
//  Speaking of weird, I kept my splinter.  Since I'm going to have a nifty scar from the thing, I thought it'd be fun to have the cause for show and tell.  And to show my boss so she didn't think I went to the doctor for a lil ol' bitty splinter but rather than the toothpick sized log o' wood it was.
//  This lovely spider has taken up residency in an optimal corner of the porch and has single-handedly taken out a nest of wasps setting up shop there.  I don't kill things unless they're biting me so we leave critters like this outside (or inside) and let them do their things.
//  Right before my Asheville trip I caved in and got a manicure and pedicure.  It feels weird to see color on my fingers!  And I hate pedicures.  Don't touch my feet!  I'm sure the nail techs thought I was an uncomfortable weirdo while I was there...which I am/was.
//  A group of harvestmen, also known as daddy longlegs, huddled up on the porch escaping the rain.  I love these things!
//  Big chair in the middle of the country in northern GA.  Perfect.
//  Add goats to the long list of animals I freakin' love.

Happy 'day of Oden' or Wednesday to y'all!
