THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

Find balance between the things you NEED to do and the things you WANT to do. PRIORITIZE, but never forget to PLAY. Make time to do things instead of assuming that there will be time later. Do one thing that you WANT to do in exchange for every thing you did because you NEEDED to. Always make time for those you LOVE because they won't always be there. Make your time count...don't count your time. Don't regret the things you didn't accomplish today...just re-work your plan for tomorrow. Don't worry if things don't always go perfect, as it just means there's an opportunity to do it better next time. Tell HIM you love him every time you see him. Hold his hand and kiss his cheek whenever the opportunity presents itself.

A COLD AND BLUSTERY DAY...

We had to make a stop on the way home from work (and it had been SUCH a horrible day). I spied these birds perched high up in some twiggy trees and thought they looked rather photo-graphique! The stark contrast of the branches and the birds against the chilly grey sky captured the mood of this 'cold and blustery day'. Perhaps tomorrow will bring sunshine.

X-MAS, WE BID YOU FAREWELL...

Well, the time finally came to take down the x-mas tree. No one was sadder to see it go than Twitch (as you can see from the photo below). She held her ground right down the last row of branches...

And then sat there looking extremely pitiful in the space 'her' tree once occupied...

POOR THING...

A FUN DAY IN GLENDALE

Just a quick shout out to Kristin, Avery, and Jen for a fun day in Glendale last Saturday. We did a little ANTIQUING...

Found some FUNNY HATS (what a surprise)....

Came across some beautiful PINK roses on our afternoon stroll to the CREATIVE QUEST! I used this opportunity to try out the 'color filter' feature on my new camera (which I LOVE!).

And had a lovely lunch at THE SPICERY...

Where they have BIG BUNS!

And french dips BIGGER THAN YOUR FREAKIN' HEAD!

ciao!

PEORIA'S STRANGEST HOME VIDEO

For those of you that haven't yet had the great fortune to see it, I'm posting a video of Twitch 'doing her thing'...which appears to be MASSAGING George's lap for hours on end. What a tramp... She will literally do this for hours if you don't stop her. Her eyes roll back in her head, she drools, and her whiskers point straight down...she is very STRANGE.
