Mustache fascination...

There is a small mustache fascination going on with me that may be replacing the "owl" one that I was being accused of. First it started with this mustache screen saver. I had a paper one on the computer at work and last weekend while in Nashville visiting a friend I found some fabric ones and bought a pack. Now my laptop has it's own mustache. :)


Today John and I went downtown to pick up a present that I ordered and he dressed as Santa's Helper and I went incognito including what else but a mustache. Here is a photo of us about to head out the door. We got some odd looks downtown.

First Snow

This morning John and I woke up to snow on the ground and it was still falling. I also found out that Lucy likes the snow as much as John does. We bundled up and went to play. John wanted a snowman so that was the main goal. He had fun playing in his play structure and I rolled a big snowball around the yard picking up lots of leaves as I went. Our snow/leaf man was rolled to the front yard so that people passing by could enjoy it for a little while. I wonder if it will make it until mid afternoon. I wonder how icky my hat will be afterward. :)

My little family

Here are some cute pictures of John and Lucy to share.

Interesting images...to me

Here are a few images that I ran across and liked from the web and one from a Market Square visit.

Yes, I go to Market Square a lot; no, I don't live or work downtown. :)

My little tour of downtown Ktown

A few weeks ago went downtown one Saturday morning to do some handmade Christmas shopping at the Farmer's Market on Market Square. I took a few photos and would like to share some here. To preface, I DID buy lots of presents that day and so I won't go into much detail about that but what I can tell you is that I had a wonderful experience of enjoying a pumpkin spice latte, bacon scallion biscuit and live music while sitting in the adjacent Krutch park.


After the shopping and respite I headed off to look around with touristy camera in hand.

The building with the arch top windows is where I spend a lot of my volunteering time, 500 Gay Street. My AIAET board meetings, ETCDC board meetings are here so I am here a minimum of 3 times a month and often more.

Again, I apologize for the random photo placement. If someone wants to give me a lesson on how to get these to stick where I want them to please let me know. :)

As I write...

As I write this blog I am in pain. I went to the gym tonight and tweaked my back the same way I did months ago. It took me over a month to recover then. At least this time I know some things I can do on my own. I will not have the nifty cool electronic acupuncture treatment or the ultrasound massage from the physical therapist but I am sure I will be able to suffer through. I will be stocking up on ibuprofen.

I think this may be the end of my free weight squat days. Maybe nautilus machines are all that are in my future? Even those won't be in my future for a while. Hello dying bug exercises.

Closer to a new entry

I spent quite a while tonight downloading photos off of the camera so I am one step closer to another legitimate posting. I have been a tweeting fool on the twitter account (englandaia is the twitter account name) and will share some of those finds on this end as well. I also have some adorable photos of John and Lucy to post. Check back; I hope to have them, or some of the entries anyway, posted by the end of the week.
