Once there was a girl...

...and now she's grown into a woman.

I'm a lady who loves Earl Grey tea, skeletons, and stilettos. Also slightly obsessed with tentacles. Wrap your mind around that.

The GREAT ONE.

At the ripe old age of 5 I cried when I saw pictures of his wedding to Janet.

I thought he had moved to LA to play for the Kings to follow me from Edmonton. When I realized he was already married I came apart. 

Ah… young love. 

Happy Birthday Wayne.

Reblogging in honour of the Great One’s birthday. Hunky!

I have a friend who has a thing for altocumulus lenticularis and I’ve been known to call her at the crack of dawn, ordering her out of bed and into her yard, to take pictures of them above Mt. Baldy.

Because that’s what friends do. They remember bizarre things like what a altocumulus lenticularis looks like and even though you like to sleep in they yell loud enough on the answering machine to wake you and get you out of bed so you don’t miss things like that.

#Rainbow over #losangeles. Not a bad beginning for the water dragon year! :) (Taken with instagram)

This reminds me of my blood spatter analysis classes…

I really want to make this.

Hmmm.. now to find a white douvet cover!

Screen printed Zombie arms with hand painted details, along with appliquéd hands on pillows.

I recoup best on the couch watching podcasts and TV shows that I’m behind on… often they are food related which inevitably end up with killer cravings. 

Today I was couch ridden by a terrible sore throat and after 4 pots of tea with honey and I rewatched all of the CoverVersions.TV episodes

The episode that made me laugh the most:

(It starts at 1:18)

Challenged by @Lokified of CoverVersions.TV I took to the kitchen to make something to nourish my sick self wearing glasses! and satiate a craving for biscuits.

Funny enough, the biscuit craving turned into a few hours standing over the stove making Corn Chowder and Chicken Pot Pie with a biscuit topping, I think my body was in serious need of starch and carbs!

Both recipes came from America’s Test Kitchen: Family Cookbook, you can find the corn chowder recipe outlined here and the chicken pot pie recipe here.

Here’s the result… it was delicious and I’m already feeling better!

My home land. More beautiful than any other place in the world. 

Of course I am a bit biased.

Ahem. Gift idea.

My birthday is 4-20. Hopefully by then I’ll be the proud owner of a new handgun and maybe a new tea pot?

I get goosebumps every time I hear this. I will never forget seeing the JBT play live with @krykbos so many moons ago…

That kind of night was magical and thinking back it reminds me of being youthful and full of love, wonder, naivity, hope…

Ocean // John Butler Trio

Drinking Scotch and listening to this.

I sit here reminded of God’s blessings, even in the unexpected events. Of his boundless love, limitless grace, and abundant providence.

I look out over the ocean and think how vast a love is this?

Holy crap. MUST. HAVE.

I’d love to have some skeletons hanging from the ceiling in my home office, maybe made into a light fixture or something… that would be too cool…

Despite not knowing many of the authors listed it is fascinating to hear different people (typically quite well spoken) describe where their name comes from.
