Lucille Thomas

With empty arms and feeling forgotten I was moved to go to the Central Oklahoma Humane Society on a puppy day. I was thinking there might be an older dog who needed me.

Then this happened. I knew it was trouble. I held her about 45 minutes. Cried and paid.

Lucille is a long-haired chihuahua mix.

Two years old. They marked her birthday as October 23rd, mine.

I only saw that a month later on her records. Made me swoon.

Meant to be.

Her world is silent. She is deaf.

She has two healed rib fractures.

 Her life was tough.

But she is so confident.

Spencer is nonplussed.

She moves extremely quickly.

I have ruined her.

And Husband likes her.

Alot.

Je captioned this picture, 'he my man.'

She makes me love him more.

And this one. Oh gawd. How I adore her.

Life Journal

This is a journal I challenged myself to in January of 2012.

The goal was to have an entry each month. 

 

A title page.

Answers to this 'Currently' prompt.

A favorite photo from the month.

 A self portrait.

Finally anything that marked a highlight of that month.

It took very little time each month, but the overall effect is quite satisfying.

I put to use a Rebecca Sower journal I  have been holding on to.

I was so proud of letting myself use it.

At the end of the year I did a 'Reflect" section...

which included mini booklets of things from the year.

Things I created...

This journal tells a personal story of the year one month at a time.

I decided not to do the same thing thing year.

I put together these pages with the thought of doing an art journal page each month. 

Haven't started in it, though. Seems this thing keeps getting all up in my grill...

New and Different!

 

It was time to replace my sets this month due to 5 years of bimonthly washing. I went from eggshell and taupe to cream and gold.

 

Ow, ow!

 

I also replaced some undergarments in the same range of shades.

 

I am wearing electric blue polish on my toes, yo.

 

Also, life is too short for cheesy sheets, towels and panties.
