June 2009 Good Times!!!

Boan, Amy, and Friend

Sign, Sign, everywhere a sign..........

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"

So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him 

why……….?

Snowday

This is what a snow day looks like in Colorado Springs for a 23rd of  February, 2012 AD 

PS: Creative blogging is what I do when I have a snow day off and should be cleaning, washing, or doing homework. 

Notice the special "chilling" effect the artist conveys as the (obviously very talented) photographer chose a special *lens and shot the scene from inside a cold 1994 Subaru through a slightly dirty cold wet windshield with an ever so small sliver  of the vehicle's hood peeping from the bottom of the picture. 

for extra credit: What does this picture say about Colorado Springs? America? Old people with cell phones? The education system past and present? The republican debates? Unemployment?

National Debt? Bilingual persons? Marijuana laws ?

A neighbor of ours, an older woman with a spritely black dog, stopped by our house last night. Knocked. When was the last time someone unexpectedly knocked on our door? Ever? She had brought with her a bright red bag. Inside of this bag, beneath layers of oh-so-fun paper, was a stuffed wolf pup. Every year that she loses a friend, she explained, she adds a new little one to her Christmas list. We have no tree, no flashy lights nor tasty tinsel, but it sure feels cozy and Christmassy over here. :)

Occupy Living Room Couch

Learning from the amateur mistakes of occupy-protestor-predecessors, this young protestor made sure to clearly and loudly delineate his demands: warm milk. a chest rub (with lots of swirls, hearts, stars). an original song (about him) sung softly. a fancy-ass white noise machine to fill the air with sounds of the ocean, his ancestral home. And most importantly, the ultimate goal of his protest, a long-ass nap on the living room couch. Amen brother. Yell and you shall be heard.

Moment of zen.

Giant Flying Turd

AP Nov 13 2011. The 13th day of November proved unlucky for a quiet Colorado neighborhood. In the midst of another extreme windstorm typical of this area, residents woke up on a Sunday morning to find a GIANT FLYING TURD!!! The look of terror on the faces of these flamingos says it all.
