Chihuly Event at the DeYoung

This was our other huge event while I was there (besides the new twins and family)Amazing Antique Boats one with globes and one with various shapes. The best part is they sat on black glass (??) and the glass reflects back the shape, beautiful. This is the boat with various shapes.

An amazing hanging piece, my camera just doesn't do justice to the colors. You couldn't use flash, and they sold only one post card!!

A walk thru a flower garden, again all set on black glass to give more reflection.

a Ceiling filled with sea shapes! Gorgeous!!

Pill Box Delivery

Well my "able to live hormone" pills are here from Madison Wisconsin, they actually compound them there. I feel better today already, let's hope that continues!!

More pics of Calif trip. These are Legoland during the Star Wars weekend:

The Amazing Darth Vadar and one of his peeps.

Footnote:My husband is right next to me in bed while I do this. He's sound asleep and his breathing/snoring sounds just like Vadar's breathing. Maybe we can market this?? It might boost the old stock portfolio back up so we will be able to buy bread when we retire!!

Chewbaca was only there in Lego form, don't know why costume form wasn't there, he's one of my favorite. But amazingly cook in Lego form, I must say!

My favorite of all time, mainly because I relate to her body shape, very much!! Of course when the original movie came out, I was shaped like C3PO!

Making sure you buy as many legos as one possibly can!! Everybody did a fantastic job!! Not sure how much the actual park costs (we had lots of Lego Club coupons, but it is a great day of entertainment, even without the star wars part!!) Great Park!

Suzie and Austin contemplating the next trip to Legoland and/or the gift shop!!! The kid made out like a bandit, but he does love his Legos. His birthday is next month, his present was bought early with his permission, and he does love those big boxes!! Maybe a little lego present in November, I know 11 pieces, he'll be eleven!!

My Meds Cabinet

This is a famous painting by Damien Hirst, it's what mine looks like! (Almost) Alexis Stewart turned me onto this painting. If you all want a great laugh (some vulgar words) listen to Alexis & Jennifer, Sirius Radio (5:00 eastern, 2:00 Pacific) How her mother lets her get away with 7/9s of what she says is beyond me. She is so far from her mother it's hysterical!!

This post was a joke, I know once the meds get straight with my own body, I'll be fine, it's just getting to that step. It's a good thing I don't really have any health issues, because this "we'll try it" stage of medicine is awful!!

New Meds Yet Again!

Well, with the new group of meds, i'm supposed to be like new and this time hopefully it will last!! The dr game me anxiety meds that are connected to menopause, then another pill (hormone) that's taken like a birth control pill, (has different strengths) according to the week of the month, then I'll be getting some hormone creams!! Hopefully with all those toys I'll be back to me. The last couple months were rough. Although when we were in Glacier with no phone, no tv, no computers, I seemed to be fine. But then again, we were there on my one good week a month. Maybe I'll move to Glacier, but getting hormones and other meds up into those mountains but be challenging for UPS. Husband has been great except he thinks the minute you swallow the pill, the next second all issues are gone and wants to restart a social life with friends. It takes a couple of days, I've tried to tell him that. Right now it's taking me at least a whole day to get myself psyched and ready to go to meetings or a football game. But with hormones, hopefully, I'll be my old dopey self soon!! I am going sewing today with a scrapbook group (just 3 of us) and working on my halloween quilt. I had to cancel my state fair quilt, my art gallery quilt behind the glass window, and a few other big projects. Rough stuff!

Halloween Kaffe

Here is the beginnings of my Halloween quilt using a pattern from the new Kaffe book. I sure hope he doesn't read my blog, because not one of my triangles made a square where they meet. Maybe the fabric is hooked on Spook Punch, and the chose not to meet. Yeah, that's the answer!!!




Last night I vowed to not leave the house until I recover from Liposuction, that's the only way I'm going to lose weight!

spell check

Spelling & Grammar errors don't count of Blogs!!

whate doo eye know, my edumacation is from california!

Here they are!!

Connor:

Happy, looks like Dad, likes to spit up when you least expect it!! Giggles in his sleep!

Cassandra:

Sorry about the no clothes, but she's making up for it with her cute Mary Jane socks. She has a couple of different colors. She loves to eat, loves to scream (she'd make a great cheerleader!) smiles a lot, loves to give surprises in her diapers, surprises of many colors!

Not sure which one this is, they are wigglers, but that's dad, no doubt in this world, the Daddy, no mix up genes here!!

Mrs. Doyle with her first grandchilder, flat tummy Mommy and proud Pops, they make a nice family!!One of the beautiful cradles Daddy made for his sweet babies!!

Kaffe is here!

The new book is here!! I'm going to eat dinner with a glass of wine and my new book!! By Peeps!!

Blogspot is going thru meanopause too!

ok, blogger just messed up, left off half of what I wrote and 5 pics. I'm sure my words weren't important.

so, here's the pics -

Glacier first

Avalanche Falls

St Mary's Lodge (our home for 3 nights) on the NE side of park, which is now closed for winter! Closed 9/15

One of the many amazing views from Going to the Sun Road!

Look closely and you will see our bear!! We were right on the other side of the trunk on the left hand side of this pic. He actually was fine with us until a flash went off from a camera, not mine! and then came over his log after us and we all ran. Not what we were supposed to do, but this time we were lucky and he was sleepy!

Kaffe's New Book

It's in transit, due 10/10, but it's already left Greensboro, NC, so could be before due date!!! Can't wait.

Meanopause is better today, we've determined I'm having one good week a month, and this is it, so must cook, clean and put up halloween, befoe the week runs out. I cancelled my whole life for this month and parts of next. I did keep gym, walking, hair coloring (a must) and bible study.

Meanopause

Menopause is mean!! How can a human brain have so so many capabilities that it is able to change your whole persona in one day??? I sure hope this transition isn't going to take forever and that I find a dr that can get a gaggle of meds that work for me!! Otherwise I'm only good for one week a month, as far as being human and coherent!! Thank God I have the best husband and family in the world!! Otherwise, I'd be alone at this point!!

I still haven't gotten our trip pictures ready for posting yet!!
