I needed it. I think I was just getting seriously stale. But now I'm ready to participate again. It's time to rekindle my personal journey and reconnect. Getting It Right...That thought just passed through my head. When do we just "get it right." When do just feel content with ourselves and who we are?

I feel like the last few months have been a little nutty. I always have had a tough time getting through January, but especially this year. Making a career change had finally caught up to me (financially and emotionally). I had expected to stick with the catering gig for six months and then hoped to have had something lined up.

Whew! It has been a while. I suppose the biggest reason for my absense is that I just got out of my daily routine. Life is quite a bit different since leaving a structured world. I also just lost the desire to blog about anything. I was kinda waiting to see how I felt in the new year. I wasn't sure if I'd retire or give it one more "season."

And so here I am posting from I-95 North headed to New York. It's always amazing to me how many cars travel daily. It's survival of the fastest on this road.

I went a little lighthearted for this week's theme: Balance. This just popped into my head, so what the heck, I drew it. I think there's always a challenge to balance the cone just right when you have a four scooper! (Not that I've indulged like that.)
Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream. What's your's?

I am so dreaming of dirt under my fingernails, planting seeds, pulling weeds (yes, I don't mind so much) and mulching.

This Monday morning has already tested my patience. As I pulled into the parking garage and went up level by level, I felt my front tires struggle to make the corners.

I only got a few decoupage projects done this weekend, but...but...I finally got those darn cards out the door. Well, okay, most of them.

All I've wanted to do all day was leave work (perhaps fake an illness) and run home to decorate our tree. It's been naked for two whole days. We only got a little one, but I still love it. There's nothing like a fresh tree to wiff away at until my brain hurts and my nose has been poked to death by needles.

My Mum and Dad turned us on to this movie over the weekend. I decided to write about it because it was a very interesting movie, unlike anything I've seen recently. (I mean, I can't really compare it to a movie like...like Dodgeball or anything, which we also watched over the weekend.)
It was called Before Sunset with Ethan Hawke.

I've got vintage on the brain lately. Maybe I am going through some kind of reincarnation phase or something. Anyway...stumbled across this site and I've enjoyed minutes upon minutes of wondefully vintage distractions.
I'm diggin this. Makes me want to make up a really good malt shake (with perhaps a little Baily's added to it). And, hey, you can get a matching clock Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07504958372867492622noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709193.post-1101840012267870902004-11-30T13:11:00.000-05:002004-11-30T13:49:27.796-05:00Spirit?
Man oh man, when I drove home last night it seemed like everyone already has all of their holiday lights up (and, I almost crashed the car a few times from staring at all the shiny objects). I feel so far behind...we haven't gotten our tree yet, so I haven't even started to put up decorations. If you're out there, little Christmas tree, don't worry, I'm coming for ya.

We are so blessed to be able to eat so well on Thanksgiving. Today feels so warm and fuzzy to me. A day to be inside doing whatever I want. And then Eric and I are heading over to my Mama and Papa's for a big feast.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

On my quest to find some vintage ornaments, I won two auctions on eBay this weekend. I am totally shocked at what some of the ornaments get bid up to ... one group of 24 ornaments went for $91 smackaroonies (of course, I bailed early). They must know something I don't. I love the first set with the variety of different ornaments. I have a few ideas for that set.

All it takes is a cool red hat and a cane to feel like a king. Ahhh...to be a kid again. Dirty knees and playing until the last drop of sun was left. I remember always wanting to be barefoot as a kid. It seemed I could walk on anything.

I think my dog has the right idea. Lay down. Stick all four paws up in the air. And you'll feel better in know time. Besides, doesn't the world sometimes look better upsidedown?

There's too much excitement going on at my house. This weekend, I got all three of magazines I'd been waiting for: Mary Engelbreit, Country Living and Cottage Living. A triple dose of holiday ideas.
I was excited to see Christopher Radko's latest Shiny Brite collection of vintage ornaments and lights this season. It was fascinating to learn how his company started.

Theme: Vintage
So many ideas came to mind for this week's theme...but I ended up with vintage style. There's nothing like a cool vintage coat that you find tucked away in the back of a thrift shop. We saw one at a flea market last weekend and it was gorgeous. It had the initials sewn on the inside against a very silky plum grey lining. Obviously someone's treasure.

What a difference a day (or two) makes. Lots of rest does a body good. The weather in Maryland just can't decide what it wants to do. Last weekend was just gorgeous...something like 71 degrees on Sunday. And, now, it was only 30 degrees this morning where we live. Shiverry wiverry.
I had to go find an old scraf this morning in the winter box.

Warning: Deep Thoughts by Rainy Sunday
Today just seemed so strange. I guess I really can't pinpoint why exactly. Maybe it was just a lot of things mixed together. Perhaps the cold air blowing on me all day...the heavy noise of the fan in our office because of a flood over the weekend. Maybe it was not enough water and too much caffeine (the story of Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07504958372867492622noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709193.post-1099615660616965182004-11-04T19:44:00.000-05:002004-11-04T20:21:43.016-05:00Illustration Friday

What can say. Mr. Elvis goes through my bag on regular basis hoping to find something...anything he can snack on. Last week he was lucky enough to find an unwrapped fruit tootsie roll. Guess it was his lucky day.

Ok, Mom and Dad, I actually got out there and voted today. I have the sticker to prove it. Shamefully...this is my first time ever to vote. Yes, if I were a dog, the tail would be between my legs and the ears would be down.
My husband is way more dedicated. He took a day off work to volunteer at the polling booth today.

Trick or Treat. I love the kids that say, in their little munchkin voices, "thank you" after you have just plopped a goodie into their bag. That just melts my heart. They are all so darn cute!
