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.

Do you think it’s a tango, with a lot of tension and resistance? Or maybe a waltz something smooth and elegant?

I think my dance with death will be more of a Cha cha cha….

Sunday is FUNday… will I see you at @DapperDay at Disneyland?

I’ll be there with hair in curls and ready for a gorgeous day out with the crowd.

I love hockey. Stumbled across this Canadian Superbowl ad and it made me cry. 

Good on ya Budweiser. I still won’t drink your beer, but I’m touched that you surprised these teams with a game that they’ll never forget.

I love Jessica’s work. Bought the most delightful planner she designed and carry it with me daily. The spine inspires me with the quip to ‘write every day’ each time I look into my purse.

I went to high school with a few kids who snorted pixie sticks during what must have been a lapse in any kind of judgement they had. 

I wonder where they are now…

Had a chuckle over @carmenincalgary’s blog when she stumbled across the fact that Google has inferred she’s a 35-44 year old male based on her interests, which were pretty spot on…

I took the bait to see what Google had dreamed up for me.. 

They have me pegged as a 25-34 year old female… and the interests have me down pretty well.

Hauntingly beautiful art by Leslie Ann O’Dell

Artist Leslie Ann O’Dell creates stunning photographs paired with hand painted embellishments. The otherworldly subjects are shrouded in layers of natural elements, adding a grounded tone to the ghostly figures.

Why yes. I have claimed this child as a long distance niece. Because I knew with her genetics she would be awesome. I have yet to be disappointed :)

That’s my girl.

Beautiful. I am amazed how violins can be manipulated, transformed, and enhanced as electric instruments.

I remember years ago following a band in Fullerton that had a rockin’ electric violin and was always wowed by the sound.

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.
