Just wanted to say a quick hi, and leave you with this pretty flower - new additions to Family Archives coming this week (I hope!) :)

I swear, I am here!

OMG, peeps, it has been so long and I am sorry! I don't even have a pic for you today! Good news: we have had some sun, and the weather has been warmer. Bad news: my camera is trying to blink out on me - so I am praying like mad that it is just a temporary thing, and it will be acting like it's regular sweet and reliable self very soon!

Unrelated: more additions to the good ol' Family Archives coming soon! Maybe this time the other side of the fam will get a little spotlight. They are interesting folks, I promise you will not be disappointed. ;)

xo!

OMG WHERE IS THE SUN?!?!?!?

Peeps, I had to post some pics of the sun to remind myself it is really there, and that, yes, in fact, we HAVE seen it on several occasions this spring.
Some of these were taken MONTHS ago, when we still believed that summer would arrive in its usual way, in its usual time frame...that happy, innocent time...
Look, right here I am so hot, I am about to roll down the window, except that I already have my sun roof open!!
The trees were feeling it, and opening up their leaves
And THIS day was freakin' HOT!!! I have faith in you, sun, I know YOU WILL ARRIVE! Pretty please, with sugar on it...?

Dear Alec Baldwin

So I have developed a crush - well, a crush I have felt a bit here and there before, when this guy was obviously a major hunk. Yes, Alec Baldwin, it's YOU I am talking about! Look at Alec right here - GORGEOUS HUNK!!!Gorgeous doesn't matter to me with Alec, though. Even though his eyes are beautiful, his mouth has that nice pout going on, he still has a really nice head of hair, and I could go on - all of these things MATTER NOT A TINY BIT!!
In fact, the older and more (pardon me Alec) out of shape he gets, the better I like him. Why?? Why?? I'LL TELL YOU WHY - the man is HILARIOUS and therefore I WANT TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN!!! Okay, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH, but Alec, I just want you to know that I think you are TOTALLY BRILLIANT, and if you ever wanted to hang out and maybe do your Marlon Brando or your Al Pacino, or OMG - Tracy Morgan impressions for me, well, let's just say I would be a MOST APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE!!! Oh - and not in some crazy, stalker sort of way, I promise... no, honestly, I swear... But I love you much better now than when you were always playing the hottie - you are quite the Renaissance Man - wait - Man of Parts? Man of Means? Man Oh Man!!

xoxo, Alec Baldwin!!!

post - no picture

I have found the BEST new website - and sorry, for those of you in my gmail address book, you have all been invited - totally by mistake, but so far turning out to be a good one. Anyway, it's called Goodreads. I LOVE IT!! Check it out if you get a chance...

A Handsome Graduate

Okay, I feel little bit bad about this picture - this handsome fellow next to me (way back last Christmas when I had long dark hair which I don't anymore, and that's a long story we don't need to get into right now, but let's just say I was tired of it and move ONWARD!) is my brother Rob. He's brother #2. And I cut out brother #3 from the picture, but that's not because he's not important (!) - just not to this entry.

My handsome brother Rob is graduating from the University of Washington with a Master's Degree in Architecture. If I thought any ladies were reading this blog that WEREN'T related to me, I would also add that he is SINGLE!! :)

CONGRATULATIONS, ROB!!!!!!

Rock Love.

I'm in love with this guy. Is that so wrong? Even though he's as old as my father, married to someone else (my age), obviously living somewhere I'm not...a girl can dream, can't she? Well, can't she?!?!?
What about this one - again, almost as old as my father, but still pretty nice, although...

Right HERE, he was BEYOND GORGEOUS. Never mind that, a. I was probably about 8 years old when this picture was taken, or b. he was a rock god anyway, so women were all over him, and who is to say he would have ever picked me among thousands, if I were even 10 or 12 years older? c. THIS IS BESIDE THE POINT! In my dream where he is serenading me with champagne in the bubble bath, we are completely alone. Oops, was that TMI?? - sorry. I'm just sayin'!

xo Eric Clapton,
xo Robert Plant!
