Sometimes...
Tags:
Sometimes all you get is a blurry image, but you love and cherish it anyway. Loved hanging out with my friend Emily at Ruthie B's Antique Store for lunch and browsing yesterday. We had a great little lunch with a big dessert and then spent time just looking around at all the cool stuff in this store. It is always fun to go to antique junk stores to see what other people are attracted to - Emily has a great eye for printed materials. As for me, it is always about plain glass refrigerator dishes and wire baskets - things to put other things in of course.
Sometimes being away from family during the holidays is really hard. I have been missing my parents and siblings this last week. My Mom always did such a great job decorating our house for Christmas - setting the stage for the entire season. I have fond memeories of coming home from school to a transformed house. I loved that. It was magical. Wishing that we had the opportunity to spend time with them over the holiday weekend. Mom and Dad are gathering with my brother John and my sister-in-law Liz at their home in Washington. My sister is in Paris (love you Jess) and having a wonderful time.
Sometimes watching movies is just the best way to spend an evening. Last night we watched a couple more movies. Millions : good, good movie. Loved the message and the little boy in it is so adorable. Our second one was Mr. & Mrs. Smith - we were totally entertained with this one...more so than we thought we would be. It was cat and mouse and the quips about marriage were cracking us up.
Sometimes I just crave Sour Patch Kids. I think Santa needs to bring me some in my stocking.

Oooh..wasn't Mr. & Mrs. Smith awesome? Definitely the only time where a man and wife beating each other up was freakin' cool! LOL! My hubby and I loved it. I was also pleasantly surprised by it...I'm not a Brad Pitt OR an Angelina fan, but loved it anyway! Glad to hear Millions is good...I need to see that one. Definitely on my list of MUST SEES!

I love converting blurry images to B&W or sepia...they take on a totally different, creative feel that fits the fuzziness. BTW...really love your blog. Thanks for it. And Merry Christmas. :)
