Seriously, I say I don't like "junk food" like McDonalds and Burger King and if I weaken and eat burger from there I fel like crap for the next 24 hours (even seeing the so-called food on the TV commercials disgusts me), but when I am traveling, I have to have a Mickey D's breakfast sandwich for the road and their coffee(their coffee is actually really good). That sandwich will sit in your stomach like a hard lump for the rest of the day, and you'll have to drink water all day, too, but it is pretty tasty.

WHO IS/WAS YOUR FAVORITE TEACHER ?
Miss. Beers, my third grade teacher. She was young and beautiful--she wore mini skirts and had long blond hair she wore tied back with a scarf. She picked me(!) to play Princess Tigerlily in the "Peter Plan" play we did as a class(my first ever play), and read from "The Secret Garden" to us every day after lunch. She also read from "House At Pooh Corner" and encouraged us to write our own poems, inspired by A.A. Milne. She also had a temper and didn't put up with any nonsense, and would slap a yardstick down on the desk of anyone who was not paying attention--never happened to me, though.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ZOO ANIMAL?
Well, I never thought I had a favorite "zoo" animal, but the giraffes are cool and I like to watch the otters (I have not been to a zoo in years and years...I think I need to watch some otters soon)

There. I did it. And thank you, if you read all the way to end of this. Please, if anyone one wants to do this , try it on your own blog. I know--it is very junior high(the underwear questions, for example), but a fun time-waster.
C'mon, you know you wanna do it..

One year ago.....

..on this date.

Out of curiosity(and because I couldn't get my brain to think of anything to write about tonight), I went back in my archives to see what I was doing/writing about exactly a year ago.

I wrote about and shared some photos from Wickford, a village near me.

A favorite place to just walk around,

sit and have some coffee or ice cream at an outdoor table,

do some people watching

do some duck and/or swan watching on the bridge

do some real or "window" shopping.

I had wanted to go there yesterday, in fact, but with the gusty winds I decided against it, and ate take-out falafel and drank French Martinis in the backyard instead.

The photo above (from last year's post), shows the corner of Brown and Main Streets. (clicking on it will give an enlarged view)

I have taken numerous photos of this same corner. Something about it--the brick building,

the fact that there is a used bookshop behind the green door,

the iconic "Main Street" sign post,

the red fire hydrant,

that there are almost always pedestrians(two-legged and four-legged)congregating there

appeals to me.

What were you blogging about a year ago? Has your life changed drastically, looking back? Mine hasn't changed much at all. That could be a good thing..or a bad thing.

The meaning of life....

A winding road , Eaton, New Hampshire, July 2010

"Little surprises around every corner, but nothing dangerous." ~ Willie Wonka

So, I am just about to get into bed, smellin' all clean and and luscious after my evening shower (smoothed on some Avon lotion and scent-- Imari Seduction--very va-va-voom). From down the hall, I can hear the daughter singing in Latin(!) some song she learned today in chorus, and I just thought I would do a Blogthang before turning in. I haven't done one of those in quite some time.

The Meaning of Your Life is Pleasure

You don't have to be reminded that life is short. You're going to live it up and have fun. You are more afraid of regretting what you didn't do, and you try to do it all. You want to travel the world, experience passion, eat great food, and have amazing adventures. Whenever possible, you indulge. You want to sample all the world's pleasures, even if your health and finances suffer a little.

What Is The Meaning of Your Life?

Yup, I am afraid the Blogthing has it completely right this time. I just knew my result wouldn't say that the meaning of my life is to serve mankind. I am one shallow, pleasure seeking individual. I can be satisfied with the simple pleasures, though. Just give me beauty, kindness, serenity, maybe a little excitement now and then (a concert or road trip) and some Key Lime Pie, please.

***********

To those who noticed and commented favorably about the blog's new look -- thank you. It was purely accidental, this change. I hadn't even intended to change it. Out of curiosity the other day, I just happened to click on the "new template designer" tab and randomly selected this design(Watermark) and I liked it right away. It was definitely time for an update.

Stand Up Performance

Most likely, many have already seen this newest Internet cat video sensation (like Nora the piano-playing cat), but I had to share this here anyway. I want to see a folded newspaper tucked under one kitty arm and and an umbrella in the other paw.

Can't help wondering, though, what kind of person has both this adorable, seemingly well-cared for cat as a pet and a (framed?) poster of Grand Theft Auto on the wall?

Saturday musings....

I always say I am going to do something about changing my homepage from Yahoo, because I am either confronted first thing in the morning when I log on,

with horrible world news(earthquakes, global warming, suicide bombers, crazed Americans killing with guns in public places and on and on...), Sarah Palin's giant head, and nonsensical things that would fit into the "why exactly is this news?" category, like this:

*********************

Week of shakeups for Pussycat Dolls
Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts quit the group, leaving fans to wonder about its future.

'I just couldn't do it anymore'

********************

With a link to a video. No, thank you. I don't really even know what a Pussy Cat Dolls song sounds like(and what kind of people are their fans?) and I hope I never find out.

Well, it has been a while since I have written about some of my dreams.....

I am slowly losing my dream from early this morning(before I woke to birdsong that really made me think of spring!). Something about bouncing from icy rock to icy rock along the ocean's edge here in town. And my daughter joining in, right behind me.

Instead of flying dreams, I have reoccurring "bouncing" dreams. I half-fly /half-bounce off the ground(like "Flubber"). It's a good dream when I bounce.

The other night, I had a wonderful dream about swimming alongside a tiny elephant in a river--one even smaller than a real elephant baby would be. That was a happy dream, too.

Your Dreams Are Important

Your dreams seem to show that you're a bit disturbed... but nothing serious. You may have a problem you're trying to work out in your sleep. Overall, you are very content in your life. You secretly want to hide your dreams from your waking mind.

What Do Your Dreams Mean?

...and, is that a Gummi worm coming out of that man's mouth?

Just because....

....I haven't done one of these Blogthangs in a while--the City Walk Personality Test. The result fits me pretty well, I have to say.

You Are Genial and Polite

You are unique and philosophical. You have your own way of living life, and you relish your independence. You are generally confident and friendly with strangers. You are well mannered and sociable. Money is fairly important to you. You aren't super greedy, but you enjoy spending money on yourself. You are curious about ideas. If you had the means, you'd like to explore the whole world.

take the

The City Walk Personality Test

A Bohemian Rhapsody....

...Muppet Style!
If you can spare just under five minutes of your time, I think you'll agree that this is a masterpiece.

Just One More Sesame Street Video

This is all kinds of wrong, but I think it's my favorite Bert and Ernie clip ever. Heh.

Perfect

"Everyone must take time

to sit and watch the leaves turn."

~Elizabeth Lawrence

A sunny day in October is my definition of perfection.

It's perfection to sit outdoors in a sunny spot in a long sleeved black velvet top and feel completely comfortable. Warm-- warm enough to make me a little drowsy. Like sitting in a bubble bath that never cools down.

With maybe a slight breeze that ruffles your hair a little, and tickles your cheek when a wisp of loose blown hair brushes against it. Other than that(and even that feels good)--pure comfort. Not too cold-not too hot. Mellow and relaxing.

October weather around here(when it isn't raining or a late season hurricane blowing off the coast, that is) is like a happy medium --between cool and hot.

That is what I did yesterday when I returned home from work(only a few hours in the morning to get caught up-otherwise Tuesdays are my day during the week).

Just sat outside and attempted to read a book.

But never got too far with the book --Jane and Michael Stern's "Two For The Road; Our Love Affair With American Food" ,which had me laughing out loud in spots when describing some scummy motels they have stayed in, and I liked simply for the fact that they actually focus a lot on the wee state of Rhode Island and it's singular style of food.

I kept saying to myself, that I better get inside and get some things taken care of. But then kept giving myself "five more minutes" to sit under that golden autumn sun.

Five minutes turned to ten

and ten minutes turned into fifteen.

And I never did get much "done" in the house. But that's okay. It's good just to sit sometimes.

Daily life(especially during the work week) has been so regimented lately and with me constantly thinking of five different things in my head at the same time, that I really think it was a healthy thing to be able to just sit there.

So, yeah, yesterday was a good day. Only a few hours at work. Got my hair cut and it looks great, with a little flip at the ends and my stylist got it to stay straight. That won't last, though. After the first shampoo here at home I'll never get it to look like that again.

And, driving by the ocean and seawall(again) in the afternoon, I noticed people looked connected and engaged, compared to the sad and isolated feeling I felt when I saw scattered people there a few weeks ago(blogged a little about it here in another Randoms entry). Most people were paired up--in deep conversation facing each other on the wall, or gazing out at the ocean together.

Sunday Stealing: The ABC Meme

Z – Zoo animal – Slow Loris

There was a Loris shown recently on R's Cute Overload page-a-day calendar--can't get the pop-eyed little critter out of my head.

Another thing I can't get out of my head is that Michael Jackson song "Rock With You" that R downloaded from iTunes and played a short while ago in the living room, along with her version of Jackson-style dancing which didn't quite work being that she had sticky feet on our bare wood floors.

Yes, R is fascinated with the life, music and demise of poor Michael Jackson and is interested in learning anything she can about him and I think she watched his videos over and over on Saturday because they were shown all day long on TV. (she was already a fan, after we gave her the 25th anniversary "Thriller" album last year)

She has invited a friend over tomorrow so they can watch a taped Michael Jackson special together. This is the friend who told R today on the phone that Jackson "was hot when he was black." Loved that!

Weight Watchers recipe cards from 1974

"Still scary after all these years..."

I had this site in my massive Favorites list on the old computer, and always meant to share this wickedly funny site here and just thought of doing it today. It was easy enough finding it again(makes me think I shouldn't bother with a Favorites list because I save everything and then eventually forget about it, anyway).

I guarantee you that you will laugh hysterically at these unappetizing photos of "diet foods" from the 70's and the accompanying commentary from the astute Wendy McClure(who even published a book based on this collection of vintage Weight Watcher;s recipe cards). I have scrolled through these a few times now, and it still brings tears to my eyes from laughing so hard.

So, take the tour, won't you? You won't regret it(and will be thankful that these kinds of nasty food concoctions are a thing of the past)

An aquired taste?

Since I have to get outside--sun is shining, the dog is patiently waiting, and there are garden beds to be mulched....just a quickie Blogthing to fall back on for today's blog entry.

Even though I was ever so tempted to try the What Does Your Butt Say About You quiz over at Blogthings (no, I am not making it up--check it out here), I tried this one instead.

What Taste Are You?

And I got...bitter?

Not even umami ?

You Are Bitter

You aren't bitter at the world, even though you have a strong personality. Instead, you are sophisticated and cultured. You appreciate acquired tastes. You are very powerful. You have the ability to change a room's energy. While some may find you disagreeable, your points of view are intelligent and interesting.

What Taste Are You?

Comes in like a lion.....

seen outside shop on Charles Street, Boston

There's nothing like a Blogthing and a snowstorm to start off the month of March.
I'm feeling great this Sunday--coffee cake in the oven, house is actually clean and I don't have to go anywhere so can enjoy the snowfall from inside(I'll wait until I have to..later, to deal with any shoveling) . And most importantly--it has been two whole days that we have not had any mice.

I thought this Blogthing quiz was cute...and pretty accurate.

What the House Test Says About You

You consider yourself important, but no more important than anyone else. You love attention, but you don't feel like you deserve more of it than anyone else. You aren't against being community oriented, but it's not really your thing. You tend to prefer to focus on your family and not the neighborhood around you. You are a calm, contemplative, and smart person. You take ideas very seriously. You look attractive, but mostly because your rely on your natural good looks to get by. You are moved by romance and love. You are optimistic about people, and you love hearing about happy endings.

No-Brainer Blogthing for the weekend

You Are Fruit Flavored Gum

You are quirky and independent. You don't tend to follow any one style or rule book. You are a mix and match type of person, and you draw inspiration from many sources. While you're definitely a bit unusual, you get along well with other people. You're eager to welcome anyone into your world. You are not judgmental at all. You form close bonds with your friends, and your relationships tend to be very secure. You hold firm to your beliefs and values, and you don't let anyone talk you into compromising them.

What Flavor Gum Are You?

Actually , I prefer to chew cinnamon flavored gum. But if the all-knowing Blogthing says I am fruit-flavored gum then so be it. ;-)

Horsing Around

What breed of horse are you? Find out!


My result:
The majestic Andalusian, a brilliant white equine with kind eyes and a flowing mane. Your nature is very gentle and willing, and you are likely to perform movements in the haute ecole. You are generous and classical, your love of romance brings you to many places, especially in Europe. Your old-fashioned tastes are refreshing in this all-too-tacky modern world. A famous Andalusian is Shadowfax, who appears in the second book (and movie) of Lord of the RingsYou will likely live in Spain or France and have a wealthy, possibly Royal, owner.Your coat colour is most likely: White, grey, or dapple.
I wouldn't mind living in Spain or France, yes...but would NOT want a have an owner, Royal or not.
