39 Sleeps....

until I, yours truly, will be at the home of Downton Abbey (aka Highclere Castle!)

*S-Q-U-E-A-K*

Words don't exist for how ridiculously excited I am. The countdown is on people!

March Photo a Day Challenge - Day Two .... Fruit

Day Two of the Challenge .... today's "inspirational" suggestion ... Fruit?!

March Photo a Day Challenge - Day 1 - The Contender

This was a close contender for Day One's "Up" ....
Those big eyes .... oh my *melts*

March Photo a Day Challenge ... Day One - "Up"

Egads! Do you know the PRESSURE when you are taking photos for a challenge??!! "Up" suddenly took on 101 different meanings not to mention the self-pressure not to post some numptie shot to kick it all off.

In the end I decided on such a beautiful sunny day to go with a sky shot (looking up) including the flag (which is up the mast) and a vision which makes me feel up. Too much? Will do better tomoggy.... maybe.

I'm baaacck

After six months of waiting, I finally had my surgery last week (hurrah) and can't wait to be back causing mischief and mayhem wherever I go.

While I am convalescing, I thought I would jump in and take the March Photo of the Day Challenge ... *squeak* and today is Day One ..... Gulp. Here I go....

Today I am Excited About Everything

I felt it sneak up on me last night .... excitement. Excitement about *everything*. Sure there are some specific things that make me *SQUEAK* with pure delight; namely finding out Darius Rucker (*Squeak*) is the opening act (*Squeak*) for Brad Paisley (*Squeak*) but it's been a while since I have just been excited generally.

Wish I could bottle it up - this feeling - and send it worldwide to all those I hold dear in my heart. We all should feel excited about everything today and every day! One of my many wishes for you.

I heart Karen Salmansohn

Stop what you're doing. Yes, you. I know it's Monday morning and you have 101 things to do but I promise your week will be infinitely better and brighter if you start it visiting Karen Salmansohn's website: http://notsalmon.com/

While you're at it, why not treat yourself to one of her fabulous books of awesomeness? (A gift that keeps giving).

I accidentally discovered Karen last week; I love getting random and unrelated hits to Google searches and everything I've found (from the book I read, blog posts and her fabulous posters) makes me ooze happiness.

With everything going on in the world today - so much sadness, tragedy and violence - I love how there's this one woman tour de force on a mission to spread as much peace, joy, contentment, happiness and healing as possible.
