{Stuffs}

I'm still alive!
Dealing with health issues from the surgery I had in March.. not very fun at all.

{Blues}

When it rains in here
It's storming on the sea.

Then nothing but the blues are brewin', the blues are brewin'.

{What Next}

"There's a loneliness that only exists in one's mind.
The loneliest moment in someone's life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

{Out on the town}


Yesterday we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see a film about the Mayan 2012 prophecies.
It was neat; we learned how they developed their calenders and used them with the stars to predict the future.
After the film we walked around downtown Houston (it wasn't too terribly hot luckily) and stopped at a taco shop for some drinks.

{Pink}

I got this sweet 1950's frock from work.
It was a little plain so I replaced the tan buttons with black ones and added a 1950's belt.
I found my 1950's era beret at the thrift store on Fort Knox when I lived there.
A lucky find indeed!
