have you heard this woman?

Because if you haven't, well, you need to.




and this one you may recognize. it's in the ads to "He's Just Not That Into You".



Okay, do you love her yet? I'm obsessed...thanks to Lindsey. Oh yeah, and this woman is gorgeous. And one last thing, she lives in Nashville. I'm betting money she plays a lot of shows there. I'm thinking you need to see her live.

Ok.. how I found this is too random and strange to explain. Basically I was googling a phrase and this blog popped up. So I clicked on it only to find that this guy is a blog soul mate of ours. Granted he lives in the Minnesota with his partner. But he definitely shares our sense of humor. And I love his new lake house! I know it seems I am a blog stalker, but this is the kind of website that I think I'll check ever now and then to see how Michael from Minnesota is doing. Defiinitley check out the link to the SNL commercial for "Homocil" -- hilarious. And you'll love his pup pics. ;)

southland in the springtime...

Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
Light the bayou with our tail lights in the night
800 miles to el paso from the state line
And we never have the money for the flight
I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
I'm dirty from the diesel fumes, drinking coffee black
When the first breath of Texas comes in clean
And there's something 'bout the Southland in the springtime
Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
Though I miss her when I'm gone it won't ever be too long
Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
When God made me born a yankee he was teasin'
There's no place like home and none more pleasin'
Than the Southland in the springtime
In Georgia nights are softer than a whisper
Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
And the peach trees stitched across the land
There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
And boiled peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers.

....after seeing your post with all the gorgeous flowers, I couldn't get this song out of my head....and as much as it fills me with visions of dogwoods, azaleas, tulips, and snowball hydrangeas, i quickly realized that this song really makes absolutely no mention whatsoever of just how insanely beautiful the south can be this time of year. i suddenly feel like i've been bamboozled by this song...what a freakin' letdown.

oh...and the photo on the right is from my favorite website ever - thepioneeerwoman.com

hope all is well.

If you need a good laugh... listen to this one ;)

Give it about 2 minutes and you will be cracking up.

Danger Woman

The Machine is Us/ing Us

This video is a deep thinker. My grad school days taught me to think this way -- to ask questions like "How do we know what we know?" and "What is our place in the world?" It's like a damn matrix. This guy Michael Wesch is brilliant, an anthropology professor who has been dubbed the "explainer."

Ahh spring

I just love spring and although your pups in snow pictures were great. I prefer the weather that goes with these pics...

ps- Have you ever thought about doing a snapfish book of Justice and Libby pictures? It would make a great coffee table book!

my next bold move

I'm starting up another blog. Lord knows why. It's not like I don't spend enough time on line now I'm adding another site to that list!

This one's gonna be different. It's going to be about food. Yeap, nothing but food. Cooking it namely.

And let me know what you think.

Straight out of the camera

I finally took my actual film in to Wolf Camera to be transferred over to a disc. These pictures have been waiting to be developed ever since the big Snow Storm of '09 took place. Yeap a whole two weeks. and it's been killing me! Usually I'm not too terribly impressed by the quality of photos I've taken, but this time, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Lately, I've been snapping away on our new digital camera. This would be it. Or something similar to it:




But for the big snow day, I opted to go old school and use my little old slr. Here's what came of it:

Justice. How pensive does he look? Bet he's wondering how he can eat the snow.

Libby. She's probably thinking that she'd be more comfortable on the bed. Where it's warm.

Hold on just. a. minute. She's starting to get into this whole snow thing.

By the way, if you click on this picture you can see little Libby's teeth. My heart is melting...

The trees in our yard. Okay, our neighbor's yard.

And Justice again...anticipating the big snowflake bite!

That was a good day. The dogs had a blast and I took some fairly decent shots of the whole thing. Maybe it's time to start falling in love again with my favorite little SLR.

My sweets

I don't think I've posted any pictures of my munchkins in quite some time. So, here's just a friendly reminder of what the kids look like...

Sweet, right?

And here's how it went..

Well, I'm done with the little cake bites and this is how they turned out in a bit of a picture story...

And by the way, my little cupcake bites (and photos for that matter) don't remotely resemble the picture below. Oh well. Guess I better start working on my photography asap. Oh yeah, and the baking too.

Watch out....

In my attempt to become a domesticated lady, I'm attempting to make these right now...

Thanks to this incredible new site I discovered via Pioneer Woman, called Bakerella. You'll notice it's one my of latest site additions over in the right hand column. Obviously, I am not making these for me (although you know I'm DYING to try just one!).

I'm going to take pictures while I'm making them so you can see how well the attempt goes or just how miserably I fail. Either way, this should be a blast! I swear, I will be a baker yet! Finally, I can shove that in Sister's face! ha ha! Kidding, kidding! Okay, not really.

Hope you're having a nice, relaxing, and rainy Sunday.
