Website!


Ok, Bradley and I have been working on a basic mock-up of what my website might look like... anybody have any suggestions? Comments? I welcome your input!

Mehrzeller Concept Caravan


Can you believe this crazy trailer?? (Or, I suppose I should say "caravan" as they do....) It's called the Mehrzeller and hails from Austria, naturally.I can just imagine the looks I'd get cruising down the highway with one of these! Bradley would LOVE it. Haha!

Having a Maria Moment


Do you ever feel like Maria in Sound of Music? I do. Right now I feel like this song... the one that the nuns sing after Maria has been gallivanting off in the hills...


"She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey

She's always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She's always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria's not an asset to the abbey

I'd like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

When I'm with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb!

She'd outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
She is gentle! She is wild!
She's a riddle! She's a child!
She's a headache! She's an angel!
She's a girl!

How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say
How do you keep a wave upon the sand

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?"

My Succulent...


Bradley sent me a succulent today while he was at work (or least a picture of one that he saw)... it's lovely. He gave me real one a few weeks go when one of mine died. Its name is Nelson. He likes to sit on the Adirondack chair in the backyard.
