Random Photos

Tess took this picture of Thor...It turned out really strange. I don't know why he looks like he has a giant sucker for his mouth...

She also took some photos of her soldiers all set up and battling.

The Walker Art Center's outdoor sculpture garden in Minneapolis in April. I had seen pictures of this giant spoon but had never seen it until this April...

Just saying Hi, again. Replied to your comment at my place.

I like Tess' troops.

At one time in my sordid life, I owned an entire 15mm hand-painted collection of Soult's V Corp at Albuera (I was a Napoleonic Nut...still am). Of course, I was in my 20s so I don't really have an excuse.

I prefer her lime green soldiers...

As for Napoleon, the kids and I went to a re-enactment at Waterloo of the battle there. It was very interesting -- they had cannons and uniforms and guys on horseback. It was a Boy Scout thing...really pretty interesting. Although I retained very little of the history -- I kinda suck at history details.

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
