Cherries

After a weekend recuperating at my parents' place, I'm back posting more photos. As Fashion Week winds down, I'll be posting my own photos again.

In this photo taken Thursday Aug. 13, 2009 Sue Kanke stands atop a scafollding and removes pieces of etched glass from a Moorish dome above a billiard room during a restoration project of the penthouse suite at the Farimont Hotel in San Francisco. The dome, which consists of 1,800 pieces of etched glass, was constructed in 1926 and has
never been previously restored. JFK slept here. So did Prince Charles. The Big Four presumably stayed awake, hammering out negotiations for the United Nations charter in 1945. History's been made in the 6,000-square-foot
penthouse at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel. Now, craftsmen and women working on a $20 million renovation are restoring the fabulous past, piece by painstaking piece. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that takes photos of picturesque places or spots.

Kibbles and bits and accessories

I love her earrings and she's got gorgeous eyes.

Once again, loving the earrings and the fascinator.

Because no outfit is complete without a huge gold banana.

Sparkly!! However, I'm afraid it's a bit overkill and I might trip over them.

More fashion

I love these shoes and this look. However, I wonder if the tattoos are real.

I love the whole outfit, including the bib necklace with rose detail.

Love the dress, but would be terrifed to wear it. I might fall out!

Am I the only one that thought of Zoolander when looking at this guy?

I cannot stop dreaming about buying an outfit like this. I love the colors, the style, the little rose. Perfect!

Jelly

Be prepared for more Fashion Week fun photos tomorrow. I'm already geared up with some fun and funky photos.

But, today will be calm, cool and collected....

Aquarium of the Americas

New Orleans

November 2007

I love jellyfish.

Rock on!

So, to make up for not posting yesterday (which was a pretty crappy day), I'm posting some fun photos I've snagged from the Associated Press of Fashion Week in Madrid and Mumbai.
I've stumbled onto some fashion gold here.....

I would love to rock this look on and off the beach. It's got that modern/retro feel that I'm digging. And I love the hue. So sunny and beachy.

Love the shoe. Would probably love the skirt too, but there wasn't a picture of it.

Mmmm.... love the color. One of my favorites.

I.... am I the only one that thought of a certain part of the female anatomy when looking at this picture? Loving the bangles.

Feelings

I ended up not going to the yoga class, just wasn't feeling up to it today.

Robox drinks some beer.

Halloween 2006.

Argh!

Just realized that I need to go back and relist when a lot of photos were taken.

Like this one was probably in 2006. Ack

Sad

Sometimes, I send myself to bed early so I can sleep through the sadness.

The trick is to fall asleep before the sadness catches you.

Because, if it catches you, it makes the next day, the next chance at a better time, that much farther away.

Newport, Rhode Island, I believe, or at least near by it

June 2007

Guess

I've been confused this week about a certain pair of jeans. I couldn't find them. At all.

I checked all the usual places, it was as if they just disappeared.

Then today, while doing laundry, I find them in the dryer.

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

June 2007?

Immaturity..

... I has it.

So, at work there's a dry erase board where someone wrote "pennies matter."

Is it wrong that everytime I pass by it, I see "penises matter" and giggle?

Sometime in my old apartment on 38th Avenue, Hattiesburg, 2008.

Night flowers

I assumed he was admiring my garden, the first night I met him. He would upturn each night-blooming flower, turning each between his fingers.

While admiring flowers isn't out of the ordinary, my garden grew right outside the door of my second floor apartment. And my garden was less of a garden and more of a mixture of containers and pots of various plants that condescended to grow for me.

I was unsure as I stood awkwardly on the second landing, keys hanging from my fingers.
I took a deep breath to speak, but he must have heard me, because he turned to me and smiled.

"You have a lovely garden," his voice was faintly accented, from where I'm not sure.

I thanked him and made some modest show of saying that the garden was small (because it was) and that there were many more things I wanted to grow (because there were).

He made a sound somewhere between an inward laugh and an affirmative grunt. He glanced over the flowers again before nodding to me and wishing me a good night.
As he walked away, I fumbled with my keys, watching him leave yet also trying to get inside.

Once inside, I locked the door, not out of fear, but out of habit. I found that at no time did I feel fear of this stranger, only curiosity. I pulled my window open a crack and snuggled into bed, drifting to sleep with the smell of night blooming jasmine lingering around me.

Bah, I watch too much drama/mystery/romance/weird TV. :P
Just a little something that was bouncing in my head and refused to leave me alone until I typed it out.

And tonight's photo... is not night blooming jasmine, but a Peruvian daffodil I coaxed into blooming for me while staying at my parents one summer. It didn't come back the next year though. Perhaps, it knew that I had left.

Thirteen, seven and five

The 13th of each month is a fun inside joke day for Manon and I.

We've been best friends and very close for seven years.

Leon is a little over five years old.

Here's a picture of my two favorite redheaded boys:

The risks of cooking and gardening

It's an overcast day, it rained a bit... and everyone has spontaneously forgotten how to drive.

I want to get some gardening done, but I need to get rocks and a broom first. And my super, duper fruity punch thingy can't be made without a peeler.

Perhaps, I'll risk my life and run out to purchase these items later.

Now, on to today's featured photos:

A seagull (my favorite bird btw) in Pensacola, Fla.

My dad trying to fly a kite. Also in Pensacola.

Boogie boarding dudes in... you guessed it Pensacola.

These photos are from the same trip in June 2007, I believe.

My babies

Murmur is a pudgey sweetie.

Leon loves boxes and pretty much anything he can try and fit himself into.

Confused

Okay.... so I actually put the little blog post up at www.rosebrokethis.blogspot.com, so that no one gets confused.... mostly me.

Today's photo is...

Gus's Cafe

Front Street, Hattiesburg

I've got to get out of here....

Hattiesburg, Miss.

Sonic on W. 4th Street.

Commence the dumping!

Ok, so I've decided to add my own photography to this blog as well.

With some motivation, and a kick in the butt, I'll get this blog updated regularly.
