Dear Sunday.

Oh why oh why are you so bitter sweet?? I love your laid back appeal but despise your impending doom of Monday, ick.

But if I do have to say one positive thing about Monday is that I have off on Tuesdays, that makes Monday a tad more doable for me.


Last night our cable was out(and has been out) we had to resort to our DVD stash, which I have to say is pretty damn good. Anyway, we decided to watch "Lord of the Rings" , don't mind me some pretty elves especially ones named, oh say.............................Orlando:) Ok, that's off subject though. So while we are watching that, I remember hearing that Viggo Mortensen is an artist as well as an actor(well acting is an art, but I am talking painting and photography) I didn't know exactly what sort of an artist he was, that's when google came into play. His stuff is just so interesting, almost like Sabrina Ward Harrison. Very collage, mixed media.

I especially love this piece he did. Its entitled "Self Portrait"

You can find some of his photography here.


Speaking of photography...................................................I have been loving visiting this blog at least twice a week. Aside from gorgeous photographs, she also has some delicious looking recipes. Its just a great blog to read and look at for sure.

And I love everything that this very crafty lady creates!!!! If you need inspiration for any art or craft project, be sure to visit her blog.

Oh and one more, for all of you foodies. If you love to cook, love to read blogs of others that do, then be sure to see what this lady has going on over at her site. Great pictures as well as stories of everyday life around the house, adventures in cooking and in general making things:)


And before I go, I have a video from Yo Gabba Gabba. Its the Ting Tings and well I love the Altered Images version of this, but I think that the Tings Tings did an great job covering. I think I need someone to sing this to me for my birthday. Love it! It also reminds me of Sixteen Candles(the movie)





and here is the original...................




Yay, so um, Happy Birthday to anyone who is reading this and has a birthday today or coming up.

Do YOU have a bday coming up? And I LOVE Lord of the Rings! Oh yeah to Orlando and those awesome green tights! lol
Didn't know Viggo was a painter, either...will have to go check his stuff out.
I so agree with your feelings on Sunday, but do NOT have Tuesday off. So, the only thing that keeps me going on Monday is the thought of taking a nap when I get home. lol
I drank WAY too much beer on Saturday night and I STILL have heartburn! lol I am too old for this shiznit. Oh well.
hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I am going to check out the other linky links you put up. Later, sweets!
