150!!!

This is my 150th post and I'm closing in one my one year mark, too. I think it's appropriate that I dedicate this post to the wonderfullness of Blurr. As I stated earlier, I got a package in the mail from her yesterday. It was SO full of goodies that I was grinning ear to ear before I even unwrapped them.

First, my new favorite earrings, Swirlydots!

OH! I'm so glad that I bought these! I just love them and they will match a million things I own.

Then, I opened the package that contained "Carrie's Strength" and that's when my eyes started getting teary. The pieces are absolutely stunning and I can literally feel the love that she jammed into them.

I wish I had better pictures, but I was either taking them, or my five year old was. Even if these pictures don't showcase what fabulous jewelry this is, my words can. Not only are they lovely but they are well made. Made to last a lifetime and she told me as much.

You are darling and wonderful and I thank you so much for understanding, empathizing and loving me all the same. You are a source of hope and I am thankful for you. Big hugs!!

I changed some things...

Feel free to let me know what you think. It's a pretty big change.

The mail made me cry

Well, not the mail itself, but the package that came from Blurr did. I'm going to post pictures of me in my new and fantastic jewelry later, but I had to share this:

Blurr sent the most wonderful letter to my daughter with that stunning necklace inside. She loved it and demanded it be worn immediately. I was more than happy to oblige. Blurr? Tomorrow is picture day at school and she wanted to know if she could wear her new necklace. She hasn't taken it off since I opened the package.

I also wanted to share this picture just so all the parents that come by can share in my fears as she gets older. Seriously, could she be more beautiful? I think I'm going to go make sure my gun is loaded, just in case boys start getting ideas early.

Thank you, Blurr, for your unending kindness and your fountain of compassion. I could not be more proud to have the pieces that you created for me and my daughter. A lifetime of thank you's could never be enough.

Thank you.

Blog Day 2006

My darling friend Pavel told me about this, so I thought I should participate. The only problem? Listing only five is hard. But I think I've narrowed down the field and have a few for you to choose from.

1. Polly and the Mooch: politics abound! Polly is a lawyer in Jackson, Mississippi that I have known for about 10 years. His posts are very political and he has wonderful links to news from all over the world. Hearty Democrat, but a great read.

2. PostSecret: I'm sure this blog will be mentioned many times today. I'm not explaining it, you just have to go see for yourself.

3. Just My Thoughts: OH! How fun is this site. I found RedneckGirl through Pavel and I am now a frequent flyer. She has great posts about life and how she handles it. Very funny, insightful and really, just a great blog. Her posts make you feel like you're sitting there with her and that's always cool.

4. Robot-A-Day: Bigtime posts drawings, paintings, sketches and whatever else he can find of robots every day! He also has some fabulous pins, t-shirts and stickers. His robots always make me smile and he has an interesting twist at looking at the world through robot eyes. My fav? The robot that wants to be a werewolf, so he tapes sideburns on. Oh, yeah...

5. Random Thoughts...: I stumbled on this blog today and wow what a find. She is funny, I mean REALLY funny and writes the most wonderful things. She had me laughing and thinking about life all at the same time. I plan on spending more time there.

These don't even scratch the surface of all the cool places I visit. Blurr, Pink Angel, Bad Kitty, Pavel, G, Mrs. Kwitty, Kiwi, Mollisher, Gorjus, Sally, Orly, Miss 1999, Cynthia I could go on and on. A wonderful group of people that all deserve props for their blogs and for the fantasticness!!

Happy Blog Day!!

I cannot believe this

I got up, fixed my morning tea, went outside and prepared myself for the usual morning heat. Much to my suprise, it was chilly!!

Ladies and gentlemen of the blog world, it is 65 degrees outside, in Mississippi, in August.

No matter what, that makes this a good day.

Not much left

I really like this shot.
