PEOPLE Finally Gets It Right

I am convinved the good staff at People Magazine are sane after all.
Hugh Jackman is the latest Sexiest Man Alive.
Geez..could have told you that long ago...
But I do appreciate the photo spread

Yes, women's jaws are dropping..
Boyfriends and husbands are looking a little less attractive...
;-)
Drink in the view ladies

Let me tell you something...


1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...
neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience,
and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd,
take a look back every now and then
to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back in.
12. "Once, after eating an entire bull,
a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him."

The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
and
most importantly
13. NEVER squat with your spurs on!

Human Faced Fish

Remember when I posted a photo of
the human faced fish?
Well, I was cruising youtube and found
a news video of them
Still freaky as ever

Oklahoma Business/Vacation Trip


I'm off to my annual trip to Oklahoma.
The flight was frightening as we took off in a thunderstorm.
Actually saw lightening once in flight.
Are they suppose to take off in such circumstances?!
Anyway, what would a trip to OK be without (yet another) stop at the Art Museum?
Above is the large sculpture Dale Chihuly designed.
I may have told you before, his wife is from OK,
so he dedicated a permanent exhibit here.
Sweet, eh?


These purple glass rods are implanted within the real tree log.
This is one of my favorite pieces.
This is another favorite. It looks like the giant flowers in "Whoville"
by Dr. Seuss.

This is a lovely sculpture of Cherubim and a dove

Who knows what this is? Just thought is was different
from Chihuly's other pieces.
A classic example of Chihuly's bowls, or clamshells
The gorgeous hallway with the glass art in the ceiling.
The ceiling at the Bellagio in Las Vegas was done this way
by Chihuly also
This chandelier is designed by Chihuly, and made with
Waterford crystal....Nice
Have to take a trip to the Museum's store.
You can buy a small Chihuly bowl for $6000
Any takers?!
We stopped by the Museum cafe and had tea and dessert.
I had Creme Brulee while my sister (holding cup) had
3 samples of homemade ice cream and a crispy cookie.
On the way home, we stopped by the Memorial.
It's very well done and moving.

I spent a lot of time with my sister and her family, including a niece and nephew. We laughed and carried on like only sisters can!

I am off to my annual business trip to Oklahoma.
Will be staying a few days extra

Hopefully will return with some fun photos.
Take care while I'm gone!

Run for the Hills!!


This is a real photo by Jeff Kerr of a Shelf Cloud
over Saskatchewan.
They typically lead thunderstorms, which is
different from Wall Clouds, that
trail storm systems.
All I know is if I saw this approaching me, it would be cool to see, and
at the same time make me crawl under the bed and whimper
HA

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Even though my cat gets more action than I do,
I am reminded how fortunate I am to have
so many people around me who love me..
Just the way I am
Enjoy V-Day everyone!

Michael Vick's"

My Lovely Blooming Amaryllis




Look at the progress my Amaryllis is making!
This may not be exciting to you, but it is to me
because I have a GANGRENE thumb.
See it snowing outside the window in the first photo?
Cool, eh?
Now it has 3 lovely blooms on it and I couldn't be more proud.
I didn't kill the darn thing!
This was a Christmas gift from one of my brothers.
Enjoy the beauty!
:-)

Snow in Birminham!!!


Yeah! Proof positive that it actually does snow in Alabama.
We only had around and inch of snowfall, so these
neighbors down the street must have stolen
snow from other yards to make this snowman.
He was quite large .
At least all of his "parts" are in place.
Remember "Dumb and Dumber"?
HA

Happy MLK Day




I love the raw power and energy of both the video and Bono's passionate singing.
Only Bono could dance like that and still be cool. ;-)

Only fair to show a pic of me too


Only this is an earlier photo of me helping a friend
show her jewelry at the Greek festival.
I looked through the Christmas photos,
and there were very few of me.
And not too good.
So, this is from around October.
Can you see which one I am?

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!

I promised I wouldn't name her...
I told my friend I wanted a picture of her, and she turned her little elf butt
to the camera!
I said NO! I want a photo of your face. Turn around!
She then proceeded to shake her ass, so I did the proper
thing and took a photo of it! hehe
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year.
Send me your funny stories!
