OK...I have a joke for you.

Just heard it on an HBO special.

Are you ready?

I suck at telling jokes.

Really...I do.

I'm all...like...wait...wait...can I start over?

This one I think I can handle:

What's the difference between drunks & alcoholics?

Drunks don't have to go to those damn meetings.

Did you at least smile?

Would you massage my feet?

Make me risotto?

Peel my nectarine?

Rub Mederma on my scar?

Hem my pants?

Schedule my dentist appointment?

Wait for my cable guy?

Answer my e-mails?

Weed my garden?

Tell me stories?

Awww...come on!

I just enjoyed a couple of days off...loved it all...got to do some girlie things & see some friends...so all was pretty good.



Spent some time in the countryside...visited some galleries.



Took time to enjoy the details.



Fell in love with the the blue seascape...& it turned out to be a high quality print...so I could almost afford to buy it & take it home.



Shops on the canal (there were turtles in there).



The pretty day brought out the bikers.



OK...buying shoes made the day even better...



The doors of New Hope.



Had a girlie lunch of hummus & pita on the river...guys don't do hummus, do they?



A sign of things to come.



& the day was completed by having some (free...yeah...free) pints at the local brewery.

THE END

Felt like crap this morning. Could it have been the huge panini that I scarfed down yesterday? I was full until...well...now. I feel like a huge blob of mozzarella cheese that's been left out in the sun to melt all over the sidewalk on a hot & humid Summer day.

As I was trying to get dressed for the day this morning I had a rough go of it. How would you dress if you felt all shapeless & gooey? My first instinct was to dress up & maybe the extra effort would make me feel better. On went a black shirt & a white top...but the skirt was cut too straight & made me feel hippy...so it was on to the black cropped pants & a tank top with a little jacket over that to hide the ultra pale arms.

OK...I left out two outfits between the two I just told you about because I feared that I was starting to sound pathetic. Guys almost never have these kind of mornings...am I right? Or is it fair to say they NEVER have mornings like this?

While looking for an image to best illustrate my recent mood...I came across this:



I got distracted by her red dress, thought I'd love it if she finally stood up:



I was wrong.

Art



Math



Color



Grace



Puzzles
