We colored my hair before 10 am physical therapy.
I got my bangs and haircut in late afternoon.

Yes, I am aware that I have very pale skin.
It is what it is.

My skirt and shoes were thrifted.

I did NOT know my husband was taking these photos.

I included them here, just for fun.

Spring
Yesterday it got so hot we turned the air conditioner on, and my guy's been wearing shorts.

autumnal magic

..She loved October-
loved it well in its first crimson pomp,

and the asters along the road were like pale purple songs;

and even better in its later quiet of brown autumnal fields

Me and my husband walking around our old neighborhood, in Autumn 2005

when the hills were blue and the great wheat-fields along the harbour-shore warm gold and the glens of autumn full of shimmering leaves

 Marigold always felt that  there was something in the fall that belonged to her and her alone if she could only find it, and this secret quest made of September and October months of magic....words from book Magic for Marigold  by L.M. Montgomery

on the blue highway

Today I felt like showing old photos you may or may not have seen these before.

Me at the Japanese Gardens in 2008

Me and my guy

I sure do miss these leopard print shoes.

I ruined them when I wore them to the beach in Acapulco. I'm still searching for a replacement pair.

Yes, these were all taken on the same day in August of 2008.

Now I'm gonna mix things up with some blue runway looks I like.

Then I'll throw in some blue art journal pages.
 1

It says: At the airport,
I sketched my guy waiting,
 at the baggage carousel.
On May 30, 2012,
we were tired and hungry.

art journal page 2

It says: Now which part of your face
 will you show today?

art journal page 3

It says: I will NOT be defined by someone else's
expectations or perceptions or limitations.

Now I'll end this post with one of my favorite Billy Idol songs. It's one great driving song!

The first 11 seconds of the video are weird, but then it shows Billy Idol images while the music plays. I couldn't find a decent concert video, that didn't sound bizarre.


I found several different lyric versions of this song.
So, I'm sharing a combination of the one I like: 

...Oh the sons from mars on their stolen guitars.

...Some sweet mask
...The sun's for miles
...Its kind of a bitter risk 
...Out to ride the night
...On the blue highway

pink lovelies

These pink things delight me.

And where was I? Behind the camera. I didn't realize there weren't any photos of me, until I got home.

 You know what I look like already, anyway.
I mean this blog is full of photos of me.
Maybe you need a little break of that, right? ;)

 are paint and pens.

Hope you have a delightful weekend!
