I wanted to put a writer's twist on {phfr} since I'm not really a homemaker (maybe someday), but I was a little short on creative material (as a writer, I haven't done much that's docu-photo worthy) so I offer you this and hope my off-kilter {funny} allows you a smile or perhaps even a chuckle. Have fun!

As one who understands reality through fiction/story, this is perfect. This decoration was a gift and happily hangs under a writing award of sorts and over my desk, which I hope to return to using for writing...after I clear it off...again. Ah well.

This picture was shamefully staged (no one was around and I was still embarrassed) and has nothing to do with writing except that I am a writer and this is a roundabout intro, quite possibly only sensible in my oddly-connecting thought patterns, to my recent whimsical idea: I wouldn't mind if Adam Young asked me to dance. I know, I know. You're probably thinking I'm a silly school girl with a silly celebrity crush...and you might be close to right, but not quite. One, I am no longer in school, and two, I'm not yet to crush point (but if I get there it would be my first celebrity crush and he's a Christian and a real person [not to be elevated to god-status], so a little crush wouldn't be a bad thing). Right now I just think if Owl City came to Oklahoma and Adam Young decided to ask me to dance...well, I wouldn't mind.

Laptop collection! I have two currently, and hopefully a third soon on its way—the third will be the first one owned new. On the left is my old Apple, The Three-Legged Horse, a school auction bargain and a good computer even still, but not suited to my needs now. On the right is my old Dell, Smalls (have you seen "The Sandlot"?), a garage sale deal and a grand one at that but now no longer fast enough for my needs (also, I've dropped it a time or two, but this only added battle scars to the casing and hasn't harmed the machine itself). Both computers were affectionately, though earnestly, named. I wonder what the new one will be called? And if you're wondering, yes this picture was staged...but only a little.
I'm glad you joined and made the phfr idea your own. It isn't just about homemaking for a family, but about your own inner contentment that allows you to bring peace to others. Too much anxiety in our world!
ReplyDeleteWell done.
The Sandlot is a favorite around here! And crushes are part of being a girl :)
LOL! Oh, Auntie Leila, I love you. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be your FIRST celebrity crush?? Really?? Man, I can't even count all mine...
ReplyDeleteYeah, first. I've long guarded against crushing on celebrities (Rebekah can verify) because I never know if they're real or not (and most that I like, for example Hugh Jackman, are too old for me and that wouldn't be okay). But Adam Young is just so crushable (and the right age). Hm.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I experience crushes as things that happen to me, not as things I can control, which probably explains the proliferation. Like Hugh Jackman -- the way I use the word "crush", I'd say you already have a crush on him, you just try not to dwell on it. Which is probably good. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Dorathea! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteI live in CT and the park is Harkness Memorial State Park. (you can rent the first floor of the mansion for your wedding, if you are planning 2 years in advance and have four and a half grand to spare.)
But stay tuned, because we also went somewhere else after the park which was even better (at least, in my opinion!) I took so many photos that day, I couldn't post so much all at once.
Now, I have to go look up Adam Young, and "The Sandlot"!
Yikes, that's a lot of moolah and time to wait to get married. I'm sure it's stunningly pretty, but I think I'd rather enjoy being married than wait that long if I were engaged (even if I did have the money to spare). (Though it does make me think of the movie "Lake House".)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to it!
LOL! Oh, what to say.
