    Just some random photos from my day..

    My lucky cats

    I have this thing for cute stuffed animals. The A.C. Moore has bin when you first walk in full of Beanie Babies.
    These guys guard my computer.

    My little collection of Sushi sets and a Sake set. Sister says it is good have things
    like this around.

    I really like perfumes. My favorites are Casmir by Chopard and Samsara by Guerlain.
    I also like Pure Poison and Hypnotic Poison by Dior, Beyond Paradise from Estee Lauder, and Lucky No. 6

    I have yet another isLove banner:

  • Remembering Summertime

    It has been cold and dreary the past couple of days.
    I decided to browse through some photos I took over the summer.
    My big thing was trying to take pictures of butterflies and hummingbirds.
    The hummingbirds were not as cooperative as the dragonflies but I did manage a few.

    Those were the best photos.
    I thought I had scaled these images down but I can't remember what folder I put them in.
    I also took a lot of  photos of flowers:

    Then I also liked to play with Photoshop to see do something interesting:

    *****IsLove*****

    If you have livejournal chances are you have played with the isLove Generator.
    It takes one of  your interests and your favorite color and makes a little banner...like this

    Well, I decided to make my own "isLove" banner using photos of this cutie:

  • I haven't posted here in a few days.
    Christmas was nice.
    Here are some random photos...

  • Christmas Photos!

    It is 11pm on Christmas Eve and I sit in front of my PC drinking cognac.
    My family is downstairs watching a football game...or sleeping.
    I will go to bed soon...but first I wanted to share these pictures.

    Merry Christmas Everyone!

  • It's almost Christmas...

    Yeah..that is about it.
    I feel a little sick.
    Actually, I have been sick all week so I am very fatigued.
    I've been working on this 12 days of Christmas illustration thing.
    The idea is for me to illustrate an image for 12 days based on the 12 days of Christmas.
    I am nearing the end of the first part of my project. The second part is for me to build a page (in Flash) that will display the illustrations that I did.   I will probably start that today.

    I am way excited because I have more additions to my Frog Style Family:

  • Oh, get on with it...

    I haven't had any commuting photos recently because of bad weather.
    I will take some holiday photos tonight though...
    I have been spending money on frivolous items.
    Such as these:


    and these


    my new favorite store is place called Ginza in DC...
    I may have to make a visit every month. Yeah that is where I got my little notebooks from.
    The frogs I ordered online. I really want a dokidoki frog..but I can't seem to find one.

    I'm still waiting for my items from JList.com  ...I am helping to make them rich

  • My Morning 12-11-07

    First there is breakfast


    I mixed my Superfood Green Machine and Superfood Blue Machine.

    I stopped next to a yellow diamond on the way to work...

    The birds pooped all over the right front side of my car, so I need a car wash!

    Another view (and me showing my Orange Range love.)

    I pass by my alma mater...


    more Orange Range love shown...hahahaha!

  • Three weeks until X-mas

    It snowed recently, but I didn't take any photos.
    Now it is in the mid 50's this week...this weather is sick.
    Ha! This weather is going to make me sick.
    On top of that it is all overcast and gloomy.
    I need sunshine!!!
    I got my sunshine too:

    This made my day..seriously!
    I haven't watched the entire Fantazical DVD yet.
    I have only been able to catch the documentary..which.is.priceless.
    I did listen to the quiet life on my way to class today.
    Not good for driving...I kept daydreaming. It is great daydreaming music.
    Kinda ambient, kinda experimental...it was delicious!

    I also got a  free gift with purchase:


    It's a rainbow frog!
    This baby is hanging off of my purse now!
    I should probably go to bed as I have to teach tomorrow (among other things...::groan::)

  • Morning Commute 12-04-07

    It has been windy here the past couple of days.
    With the wind, you get some pretty neat could formations.
    The morning is the best time to see these awesome clouds.

    Here are few pics I took the other morning:

    Really the best part is seeing how the sun shines through the clouds.
    It is kinda mystical or something.

    Today it is snowing ( a little bit). But all this area needs is a few flakes of snow and freezing temperatures and people go nuts. There was already a 20 mile back up in the northern part of the region. My wish is to not have to go teach this evening, because for my area that is when the weather will be worse. I drive a little car that is not made for inclement weather. 

  • Out of Practice

    I took some self portrait photos and I think I need to do them more.
    I am terribly out of practice with this...The photos are o'k, but nothing to write home about.
    In any case, I have some new photos.

    It's me...

    Since I have a mobile phone that doesn't have a place to connect straps and charms, I have to put mine on my purse:
