Pedicure Spa (314/366)

 

TIME: 6:08 pm

PLACE: Nail salon
SUBJECT: Pedicure spa

*~*~*

A pedicure was sorely needed.

Right after work, I headed out, masked up, entered the salon and chose my color.

The spa had a liner in it while I was soaking.  When I was finished, they removed the plastic and let the water down the drain.

I sat there just a bit longer to wait for my polish to dry.

A Taste of Honey (144/366)

“The only reason for being a bee that I know of is to make honey.... And the only reason for making honey, is so as I can eat it.”

A. A. Milne. Winnie the Pooh. Methuen & Co. Ltd. (London). October 14, 1926

TIME:  7:09 PM
PLACE:  Front porch
SUBJECT:  Fresh honey

HH’s friend - and best man at both his weddings,  Arthur K. - began keeping bees recently.  Last week he brought us a mason jar of his honey harvest.  It’s good stuff.

St. Nicholas Coins (339/365)

“Golden coins, I’ll place at your feet
Precious jewels to make life complete
All my treasures are yours my sweet”

Golden Coins, words & music by Giant, Baum and Kaye. Performed by Elvis Presley.

TIME:  11:31 PM
PLACE:  Kitchen
SUBJECT:  Gold chocolate coins

Tonight is St. Nicholas eve, and the stockings have been hung on the door handles of the children’s bedrooms.  I had planned to get the stocking stuffers at lunch today, but didn’t make it.  I had a Brownie meeting tonight, then had to pick up MB from Boy Scouts at 8:30 – so I didn’t get to leave for the dreaded Wal-Mart until then.  It took me longer than expected.  Can you believe the Mart did not have the chocolate gold coins that St. Nick *always* brings.  So I had to make a trip to Walgreens as well.  Luckily, they were with the program and the tradition has been saved.  ‘Cause if the kids didn’t find gold chocolate coins their stockings, it would have been a tragedy of epic proportions.  At least, that’s what DQ was hinting before I left the house.

Mr. Doorknob (025/365)

 
Alice: [looking through the Doorknob's keyhole] There he is! I simply must get through.
Doorknob: Sorry. You're much too big. Simply impassable.
Alice: You mean impossible.
Doorknob: No, impassable. Nothing's impossible.

Alice in Wonderland. Directed by Clyde Geronimi and Wilfred Jackson. Written by Winston Hibler, adapted from the novels by Lewis Carroll. Walt Disney Productions.1951.

TIME:  7:05 PM
PLACE:  Living room
SUBJECT:  Doorknob face

Ever since my "Unhappy Toast" picture on Saturday, I’ve been keeping an eye out for faces in other inanimate objects.  This face in the doorknob was neither difficult, nor surprising to find.  Ever since I was young, even before I ever saw Alice in Wonderland, I always thought these types of doorknobs looked like faces and if I turned them too hard, they might yell at me.  I know, I’m strange.  HandsomeHusband would be the first to tell you that sometimes,  I’m just not right in the head.
