Alien Shadow? You decide 104/365

My Old Profile Pic and some new etsy listings 103/365

I listed a few things on etsy today. My Anti-Valentines, a rubbing from a gravestone I got at the Arc a few years ago and my warm soft shawl with REAL angora in it. My 365 pic is the one I used for my profile when I first found the Acoustic Pond jamming in a textiles chat room on yahoo.

I'll Trade You...102/365

Three skully hats for your scrap sock yarns and another movie outing lol!

Sunshine Therapy 101/365

How to make yourself feel better when you are sick with a dang earache/cold/what-the-hell-ever-else I have....Go sit in the sun and knit!

Vera brought me some Tei-Fu oil for my ailments. I don't know if it worked or the massive dose of ibuprofen but I am feeling marginally better. I know the sunshine definitely helped my mood if not my immune system.

60's today and hopefully tomorrow. I want to go downtown on the bus to take care of business. So looking forward to getting back into my old routines.

The Good, The Bad and the Downright Painful 100/365

Wow 100 days of posting pictures of myself...that's GOOD.

Not being able to do a giveaway because of an excruciating earache...that's BAD.

Can you guess what the PAINFUL is?

I will do a giveaway at 150 if I haven't driven a double pointed knitting needle through my skull first. (It's that bad I swear kinda like a toothache but in a different spot)

Oh yeah! The really really GOOD new is Jack got called back to work!  Whew. Hopefully I can enjoy my alone time during the day now and not late at night.

The Black Shawl 99/365

This is the first shawl I made after I moved to Colorado. I ended up giving it to my friend ponyjones in Indiana and she wore it on stage playing music! (At  least I hope she did lol)

My Daughter's Daughters 98/365

I have a beautiful daughter who has beautiful daughters.

My Moleskine Journal Returns Home 97/365

 About this time last year I joined the International Moleskine Exchange group on Ravelry on Leslie's recommendation. I bought a pack of three wee moleskines at Barnes and Nobles, decorated one  and put in my desired themes (music, aliens, stamps). Then I sent it off to Halifax NS to begin the magic.

"WTH is a moleskine?" you may ask

From the website moleskineus.com:


For two centuries now Moleskine® (mol-a-skeen'-a) has been the legendary notebook of artists, writers, intellectuals and travelers. From gifted artists Henri Matisse (1869–1954) and Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), to poet and leader of the surrealist movement André Breton (1896-1966) to Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) considered the most influential writer of the last century, to famous travel writer Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989).
These notebooks have proven they can withstand the trials of travel and abuses that ensues from normal use. This is the one true trusted travel journal.

My little journal went on quite the adventure! It was all over the eastern United States, Canada  and in the UK. Now it's home with me again!

Here's a quick montage

High School Becky 96/365

Just to remind a few people what I used to look like:

I got rid of my worms, I'm OK now.

This picture was in my dad's wallet. That's why it's all stained n stuff.

Sunsets and Watercolors 95/365

I bought watercolors yesterday at Michael's on my excursion to Powers Blvd with Leslie and Erin. Here are my first attempts:

Primitive but acceptable. I looked for a Watercolor book at the Ruth Holly library branch but they didn't have any. I'll go to the PPLD.org website and place a hold on a few dozen.

Man it got COLD! I have a snotty nose again and I think I'll be turning in soon after a cup of hot tea.

But first my 365 and a picture of Miss Leslie who is also doing a 365 challenge over at Leslie's New Works and Thoughts. We caught the most spectacular sunset coming home. Truly a sight to remember.

Bad Bad Becky 94/365

So Leslie and Erin and I went to see Sherlock Holmes...way good movie. Afterwards we had a little fun outside the Salvation Army Store...just call me Bad Bad Becky

Am I Blue? 93/365

Stayed home and worked on my anti-valentine mini quilts. Hope the $$$ comes in tomorrow so we can get groceries.

High School Friends 92/365

I fought getting Facebook for about a year and a half. I finally caved thanks to a friend from grade school (points finger at Julie). I'm so glad I did! I have reconnected with a lot of old friends and family and tonight I just got added by one of my bestest friends ever and I got to add his siblings too. Ahhhh life is good and I am blessed.

Here's me trying to push one of my other best friends from high school off a cliff on Rampart Range Rd...just kidding, I would never harm Cheryl on purpose lol! Now if I could figure out a way to get her off work more so we could hang.....

All Hail the Queen! 91/365

We went to the new Burger King on Fillmore today. I had to get a crown after I saw a dad put one on his kid. Since I had slight 8 minute wait for my food (what's up with that?!?)  I read the "Laws of the Crown" printed on the inside. Ooooooooh I'm KING!!!!

Special thanks to fellow blogger Steve Bunche over at http://buncheness.blogspot.com/

for taking the time to type them all out a couple of years ago.

LAWS OF THE CROWN

GAME PLAY

A) Adjust size and be the first to place on head.
B) Whoever places the Crown on his or her head first, then in a loud voice proclaims “I AM THE KING” is from that moment in charge.

ADVANCED PLAY

1. There can only be one King.
2. The King always gets his/her way.
3. The King must speak with some kind of cool accent.
4. The King makes all the imperial decisions governing selection of TV channels. Movies, radio stations, as well as popular activities like snowboarding, pool hopping and cow tipping. The king also determines who gets the remote, who rides “shotgun” and, of course, who pays.
5. Rule ends when Crown is removed for more than 3 seconds (see Three Second Law).
6. Disagreement with the King results in a “penalty.” This is decided by the King. Common penalties include: forfeiture of fries, surrender of video game controller and banishment from office cubicle.

THREE SECOND LAW

The King’s rule ends when the crown is removed from their head for any reason, accidental or otherwise. The first person to exclaim, “ONE…TWO…THREE…KING” may claim the crown.

IN THE EVENT OF A TIE

If two people crown themselves King simultaneously, the person whose birth date is closest to DEC. 4, 1954 (date the first BURGER KING restaurant opened) is King.

COUP D’ETAT

If everyone agrees you completely stink as King, your rule may be renounced. This constitutes a Coup d’etat. A new King may be crowned if the group can reach a unanimous decision. If not, the THREE SECOND LAW applies.

KINGDOM

If you are eating in a BURGER KING restaurant, your rule extends all the way to the edge of the parking lot. Off restaurant grounds, your rule extends to a radius of ten feet around you in any direction.

WARNING: This BURGER KING Crown is made of paper. Your rule may end prematurely if Crown is exposed to water or flame.

Remembering Warmer Days 90/365

Remember back in May when it was warm out and you could sit outside and do stuff like crochet?  Hey look it's the green doily!
