music and han solo

My outfit was influenced by yesterday's

inspiration monday! That's when the ladies Megan and Nora of
Two Birds Boutique chose an outfit to inspire an outfit.

I look frozen, and I don't mean cold.
I mean like Han Solo on the planet Mercury.

Here's my version of the look.
To see how others were inspired
go to:

inspiration monday: secondhand outfit notes.

Yesterday's inspiration was:

Olivia Wilde
(she looks like she want to kick someone's behind).

My t-shirt: Forever 21 (nearly 3 yrs. ago)
It says:
I Love My Music.

My fringe booties: LuLu's.com (over a year ago).

My jeans: ? (some store in mall nearly 3 yrs. ago)
The last album I listened to was
New Morning by Alpha Rev (a band from Austin, Texas).

My nephew Speed Racer likes to sing
Down By the Station.
He LOVES trains!

We don't know what songs my nephew JJ likes.
They tell us he says words,
but he won't say a thing, for me and my guy. :p

My twin nieces Lil Bug and EJ like to sing:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The last song my guy worked out to was Wave of Tomorrow by The Crash Kings.
I don't have a photo of him doing that, but last weekend he was building us a new fence for our backyard.
We saw The Crash Kings in concert on this post in 2009.

My art journal page was from sometime,
this past Spring.
I titled it:
The Woes of Chronic Bad Hair...

The last song I played on my guitar was
Let Go by Cheap Trick.

Frozen Han Solo NBC News article.
(that was only 4 days ago).

around here, recently

Today's inspiration monday!
That's when the ladies Nora and Megan of Two Birds Boutique
chose an outfit to inspire an outfit.

Here's my version of the look.
To see how others were inspired
go to:
inspiration monday: short and sweet.

Today's inspiration is:

Kristin Cavallari

My sleeveless top was thrifted.

My pants were thrifted.

I watched the excellent movie
Soul Surfer featuring AnnaSophia Robb. It's based on the book and true story of Bethany Hamilton.

My guy trimmed our front bushes, and fixed the screw in our front door.
So far he's been to Home Depot three times this weekend.
He doesn't think he done yet, either.

I finished reading Learning to Live Outloud by Piper Laurie.

...I haven't realize dear Uncle Shmule's expectations for me of a perfect and blessed life, but I've been useful. And I've had a lot of fun, more than you ever allowed yourself.
And Mother... do you know that long ago...
I stopped being that frightened child you saw gazing through the train window, yearning only to be part of the speaking world?
I suspect you do...

from Learning to Live Outloud by Piper Laurie

Notice my brother's basketball on the cooler behind him.

I wonder...

If I'll ever go out for doughnuts again.
Since most of them are made with eggs.

Today my guy surprised me with these.
It had probably been about 2 years since I last ate a doughnut.

like a rose, or cinnamon bear...

or a lady that wishes the weather would cool down, cause she lives in hotter than fire and brimstone blazes Texas.

My skirt was thrifted.

And speaking of hot, doesn't this book cover
look like spicy fire?

...I have taught myself the recipes of my mother's people because these foods are for me as a chef, the easiest connections to the mysteries of who my mother was. Her identity remains stubbornly shrouded in the past, so I feed myself and the people I love the food that she made. But I can not see her face... from the book Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson

T-shirt: ancient like me.
Bracelets: gifts
Necklace: too old to remember where it came from too.

Maybe I should have titled this post "old lady wears old things"? Don't answer that. ;)

I've since donated these Payless Shoes,
because I hardly ever wore them.

My nephew Speed Racer found his Mickey Mouse ears.They were from his grandma.
Would believe that I've never been to Disneyland or Disney World? True story.

My nieces EJ, Lil Bug, and nephew JJ.
When they were at the zoo, a stranger was trying to get her child to smile and kept saying cheese.
JJ thought she was talking to him and he did it, well not in the above photo.
That one was taken months ago.

Just when it feels like nothing is going right:
something good cheers the bad stuff away, for a moment.
Love him so.

..."I thumb through the pictures,
And know them all.

They said, "Do you remember when you saw her last"
I said, "Her skin is cinnamon,
Her skin is cinnamon."

I have too many stories, keeping it serious,
Some are collectors, some keep it straight,
It was a hospital,
I was delirious,
I clung to the stretcher
And drew them a heart."... Cinnamon by The Long Winters

SEA SICK:
The last time I rode a boat was the huge ferry with two levels When I went to Ellis Island in September 2011.
Even though I took, Dramamine, I still got sea sick.
I even got sick when we paddled a canoe at canoe fest
in May 2010.
I also got sick in the boat when we went
snorkeling in Acapulco in October 2010.

I think I heart aqua most, when I'm on land.
