I may be an action figure...

"apron strings"

"take two, they're small"

It may have been written in the stars...sigh

Every superhero has their theme music. I am afraid what mine may be.

I may be the ultimate Crazy Cat Lady. Did you know there is an actual action figure? Sad, but true.

I have had 26 cats in the past 18 years. Probably more....as some only stayed with me a few days and moved on.

I've never ever in my life picked out a cat and/or kitten mind you. These have all been strays I've been taken in. One of the many perils of having a barn on your property...seems to be a drive-thru drop-off zone.

Plus the fact that cats just seem to seek me out.

I have been trying to keep up with embroidering their names on a pillow....quickly running out of room. I should have had some forethought and stitched the names smaller. Good thing there's two sides to a pillow.

I don't want to freak anyone out with images of me living in squallor, Grey Gardens style. "Only" 7 reside with me at this point. Just think of me, saving the world...one cat at a time.

sometimes it's black and white

I am such a color lover. I usually dive headfirst into color without even checking the water first.
I have nearly driven off the road trying to commit to memory the exact shade of robins eggy blue of the sky.
So, oddly enough I was poking around the house the other day, busying myself with nonsense....anything to deal with the behemoth pile of laundry. (I might add that I am not a complete delinquent housekeeper...it was clean laundry afterall. )
Well, as I was picking about the house I realized that for such a color hound I have sure have alot of black and white. How did this happen?
Is the color draining out of my life?
What does it all mean?
I do love it thou. Maybe the color voids help "cleanse" the visual pallette. I could pontificate all day on such nonsense...but hey, that laundry isn't gonna put itself away.

I am so stoked about this new magazine!

(ok, you caught me...I may have an upcoming feature...thankyouverymuch....stay tuned)

Nonetheless, I just scored the first issue and it's just so hunky dory,gosh darn, farm frilled, slap your grandma good!

It's true blue country covering everything from American flags,homemade pies, to rusty-tea stained treasures-barnyard baubles and back again.

Just a real feel-good production.
I wanted to get my greedy mits on  a Christmas issue so I promptly subscribed.

Here's the skinny:
