My nephew show's us how to eat a corn dog....
Dip it, Bite it, End it! DONE


Me sewing my very own christmas stocking.....check it out, i am crafty!

Making.....stuff. of wait, dinner...for the month.

SO check this out, for a fee....you can go to this place (above) and make dinners......so they have all the ingredents, containers, measureing cups etc. and recipies posted at the station. You call ahead, tell them what you would like to make....and they get the stuff ready, You make it, and take it home, toss it in the freezer and Voila! you have 12 meals all ready to go.....12 three serving meals! It would almost cost more to buy the ingredents that to make this....and its fun, and you dont have to do the dishes!! Amazing.



THIS SIGN, makes me mad.......I was a tiny bit insulted that someone would tell me to "grow up" why shouldn't I be aloud to play in the playground!? I mean is it a weight size thing? because there are a lot of fat 12 year olds out there now, and if it's not safe for me it sure wont hold them....there was another lame o sign at the tennis court....



LIGHTS!

Human Sass Machine

Ahh sunset along the Tampa Bay, we were walking dogs and watching the manatees surface and play. it was nice and mild out, the tropical birds were chearping, it all made for a lovely postcard.

I have the pleasure of being my sisters nanny on occasion while I am here so she can have some adult time. So this perticular evening, my nephew and I were putting up christmass decorations and listening to the radio, when some Led Zepplin came on, I noticed that my nephew was kinda bouncing/dancing/flailing on the couch to the music, so we rocked out to some Zepp. Oh yeh, gotta start him off right!



We got to go swimming the other day, I bailed early, got cold in the pool. But we had a "splass Battle" and of course I won....it makes me feel like a stud to win a splash battle against an 8yr old....ha ha. He just needs to learn how to hold his breath longer. Another lovly day in Florida.



Yesterday I went on a 40mi bike around the tampa bay, from my sisters house up and through center city tampa. I was suprised how well behaved the cars were. it was nice, so the ride wasn't too bad dispite being 2/3rds on major rd/highways.

It is strange to ride here, it is like either you are on a super busy major rd with a junkey shoulder OR a tottaly deserted rd with no cars. Also, it is REALLY FLAT, but that is to be expected. The suposedly have cross races here, I wonder if they have to make "run-ups?"

FLORIDA!!!

(putting together "Orange Bike")


Ok so I am (and have been for about a week, yes a week today infact!) in Gibsonton, Florida. Which is a (among other things) a wintering ground for carnival folk. kinda cool, kinda unusual. I like it. My sister lives here. and I will be wintering here. SWEET. because it is like 80 and sunny everyday mostly. and I have my bike and the ocean, my sister and family. what could be better! Plus a trampoline! Heck yes!



It is, I belive, classified as "Sub-Tropical" climate, so it's humid and damp. I dig it, there's all this moss on stuff...like everything. It is like "The Land of the Lost" Dino world. If you leave anything about for long moss will grow on it or Giant Mosquitos will hatch. bleh!

Along with the lanscape, there are all of these strange developments that remind me of the move "Edward Sisscior hands" Because of their purfect lawn height and evenly spaced mailboxes and driveways. Super BORING! how can people live like this! Why do the landscape/designers DO SOMETHING, make 'em diffrent somehow. God Save me from cookie cutter homes. bleh!



So I went on a bike ride other other day, rode south, and would you belive it, I came accross white tigers! In captivity of course, but how often to you come accoss giant cats on personal property? There were sevreal large black gaurd dogs surrounding the premiter. to keep people out. crazy! Love it!

Death of my Fav. Pants...

Ok, so for sometime, I have been getting guff about the state of my favorite pants, they are shredded. It started with a small hole in the croch, then, i went bouldering one day, and one full cheek area tore.....a week later the other cheek went, then, in Santa Cruz, a knee blew out, then, the other. and by the time I was in Philadelphia, my pants were shredded enough that if I didn't have tights under them, they were a little revealing, okay, so they were almost like not wearing pants, since they didn't cover much. But hey, that is whay they were comfortable right? Well I decided that it was time for them to go. So Christy and I decided that we should document the disposal of my fave pants.....



.....christy protested that it was a waste of material and that we should make something out of them, but I was in the process of packing to go to Florida and wouldn't have that kind of spare time. So, to the trash they went.....ahh well.

The Shoot....and Space Pirates...ok just one.

(For those that dont know, you can click on the photo to have it enlarge anough to read the type on it)

So this was a fun day, a saturday in New Jersey. Where a friend of Jenns was shooting some fun photos. Allyson Gaull. Jenn, myself, and out friend May, were the subjects, It was cool and enjoyable. Fall season, taking photos, eating cookies, drinking tea, and pretending to be something that I am not. Sounds like a good day to me. They have one of those manual treadmills in the living room and I almost killed myself running, and tripping and nearly falling into the bookshelve!! Of course I did it like 3 time, once wasn't enough. I dont think once is ever enough, for anything.....but that is just me.

So then I got ahold of this awesome gasmask, and started taking "Underwater bathroom" photos, and that was cracking me up, it's like I am un a bathroom, in Adtlantis, and I am wearing a special breathing apparatus so that I can live underwater....yeh that is it. OR I'm a space pirate! Ok I like that one better, look i'm a SPACE PIRATE!
