never ending buzz


today I seem to have a never-ending buzz


from caffeine

I think

and emotion

and a surreal kind of day


it's hard to settle down

and correct papers

when I can't focus

and my body is tweaky

and so is my head

any suggestions?

you should
enjoy pretty pictures
while
I might go for a run

Miss you


a quick post to fill you in on news

first this couch is crazy gorgeous

second

we now have another kid


Rongxhue is from China

she goes by Sherry

she will live with us until she graduates in June

we love her already


thirdly a room in my house needs to be this color asap

also I want that rug

and because I didn't think three kids were enough


I added a few more for the weekend

and finally if I actually did have 5 kids

I would want this kitchen

actually I want it anyway


I know for some of you (mom)

this is way too much stuff

but I like it crazy

ps a dude I used to party with in college is about to operate on my beloved grandma
say a prayer for her if you do that kind of thing
she has probably prayed for you
she prays for everyone

Instead


Instead of buying a pink bucket of chicken

check out this blog


and donate cash to one of the charities listed
 or just say a prayer
or send some positive energy
or deliver a meal
to someone with breast cancer

10 year old nature girl seeks new room


my little neighbor is turning 10
and gets to redecorate her room

she is one cool kid
and deserves a cool room

I wish I remember where I found this first image
anyone?


she loves turtles






and she collects things
of course


so I am picturing a whole bunch of this 

on the shelves with her books
because she is an avid and accomplished reader
who also plays hockey and the cello


I still love this room
and mounted butterflies



This quilt is beautiful

and there's a pattern
in case her mom wants to whip one up

you're welcome



more mounted butterflies


you get the idea



Happy Birthday kiddo

Note the ceiling fan


and the floors and the brick wall

and the huge window

and 

if you switched out the pillows 

with something more

colorful

and ethnic

and got rid of the shake style chair

I'm not a fan of shaker chairs any longer

then this would be one cool pad

A day


I used to blog here

But now I just run around crazy like

don't take it personal

It's not you

it me.

I could use a get-a-way to a place like this

wanna come?

wait, are those hay bales?

nevermind



a reader sent me this photo


thanks dad

it's purty where you live


and 

he turns 7 today

I love you Noodle

Indian Summer


Can we still call it that?
Is that insensitive?
Really, I'm asking.




It is forecasted to be 80 degrees and sunny here all week

I snapped these on Sunday when our neighbors
invited us for a boat ride.

The falls colors were amazing.


they agreed


what to wear though?

plaid flannel school skirt?
swimsuit?
why not both?

simple pleasures

well,  simple if you live near a huge lake 
and your neighbors have a boat
