Weekly Winners.

(The wonderful Lotus started this...Woots to Lotus!)

Crafts yesterday at church.

Frost on the car. In Tucson.

Snow in the Catalinas above 6500 feet. Fog in Tucson.

Very foggy in town.

Zach found his book about himself in second grade...look closely -- that is a drawing of a TV falling on his brother's head. Yeah, that really happened.

My Mona Lisa, or Tess as a crank.

I love the big sky and clouds.

Snow on the Rincon Mountains.

I know I took these photos a couple weeks ago, but this week I did some cropping and special effects on them, so they are new photos of AMARC -- the facility in Tucson where they mothball or disassemble planes. There are thousands of planes sitting in the desert.

I like the spangly craft things. Kind of reminds me of the attack of those little fluffy things from the original Star Trek. I might actually do some pictures today!!!

Thanks for the visit.

Thanks for all the comments...

Thor is okay, by the way. No lasting damage from the TV incident.

Wow, that last image of the choppers is really, really cool. Love the book w/the TV falling on brother's head. Hmmm, nothing like that could ever happen 'round my house. Tucson looks like a beautiful place to be; loved all of the mountain pics, too.

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.
