Outlook: Sunshine!

My favourite flower is the sunflower. I decided that sometime after seeing the movie, "Calendar Girls". For one, the poem was lovely. For two, it represents and totally reminds me of my favourite color - yellow - as well as my general outlook: Bright!

Recently, I've taken to the colour purple and, on many occasions, red. But, yellow has been at the top since early childhood.

So, I got a few artificial sunflowers the other day. And they do look lovely sitting there on my dining table.

They also remind me, now, of my very apt pet name for my niece: Sunshine. 'Cause she's just that.

In just a few days she will be here - joined by her parents, of course! I'm about to grow from one to four.

Sign of an abundance of rain and things to come!!! TYG!

Da Mood

Oh God, I’m not in the mood. I’m not in the mood. I’m soooo not in the mood. Here’s this fellow telling me that they had to edit my quote due to space constraints, not realizing (?) / apologizing for the fact that the edited version totally changed the meaning. If I go ahead and respond in pointing that out, it mightn’t go over as it should – even though it may be as I would want it to.

Bought a scarf today. It’s 100% Rayon (by-product of wood she said) made in India. It’s gor-jas! Ahhh! Just took a glance at it. Now I know why it excites me so. It’s a mix of the sunset colours I see from my window at TNH. Like the little girl said, “Dear God, I didn’t know that orange went with purple until I saw Your sunset. Cool!” Yup. It’s predominantly purple (I like that – p p ) with tinges of orange – dark and light – blended in as pseudo-embroidery on the fringes and woven in with the purple in the middle. It looks so lovely on me; brings out my warm red undertone and complements my chocolat skin. OK then.
