Where oh where have I been?




It's already early July ... how did that happen?  






Since my last blog post here, I've been working feverishly on my main blog.  I've abandoned my well-intentioned blog The Picture of Pretty because there's just not enough time.  I started walking, lost some more weight, got into a brief but fairly tempestuous relationship with a handsome foreign-born man (oooh heartache, you are a stern taskmaster) ... in other words, I've been living my life and times just goes by.


I've paid scant attention to the aesthetic aspects of my life, and I miss that.  I broke out a new set of sheets today (very Shabby Chic) -- white, pink roses, countryside pretty -- and got inspired by them.  There's so much I still want to do with this odd shaped, cookie-cutter apartment. 


I also went blond(ish), and am convinced anew that God made a mistake.  That he should have finished the job before I popped out of the oven;  born with frosted hair I was, when I should've been blonde.  Are you there God?  If you're listening, it's time for a little miracle.


Hope your Summer is progressing nicely and that you've been bringing beauty into your days on a regular basis.  Because guess what -- if we don't do it for ourselves, nobody else will!

  1. It is so wonderful to see you are posting here again, Laurie. I, for one, have missed the loveliness you bring to the blog world. I love the colours and summery flowers of that cover, above.

    Ooh, tempestuousness brewing in life... That just means you are truly *living* my dear! Bravo.

    Sending warm hugs and beautiful thoughts your way.
