and some say size doesn't matter....

well personally i think it does

~

really

how boring would this photo have been if i had shown you a tiny pine cone

~

oh wait

your mind is still in the gutter

isn't it

*

don't they know i can count...

i see the cold winds outside staring at me. daring me to be brave enough to walk out my front door. but i'm not playing that game today. instead i'm staying in where the warm air from the furnace dries out my skin

and

sends dirty dog smells through the air reminding me she needs a spa appointment.

~

i'm behind

i have closets that still need to be emptied

and

drawers

that are scary enough to be the lead roles in an upcoming horror film

begging me to visit. and i might. or i might just sit and finish the book i'm reading that had me crying in the back of the airplane sunday night.

~

i didn't want to sit in the 14th row flying home. only because it's the last row next to the only bathroom and the seats don't recline.

technically it's the 13th row. do they really think we can't count. that we won't realize it's the 13th row and that someone is just playing the superstitious game with us. little do they know that in our house 13 is a lucky number. na na na na boo boo.

~

yeah. my love for flying went out the window a long long time ago.

i know i know. if you've seen one sunset you've seen them all.

somehow with sunsets though that lingo doesn't work for me. just like snowflakes i believe that everyday when the sun goes down

it's in a different costume than the day before

~

now granted

as much fun as it was to watch my hubby catch snowflakes on his tongue a few posts back

i'd give that up in a heartbeat

to be front and center

for this kind of onstage performance night after night

~

want the seat next to me

in the middle of an early mardi gras.....

we were lucky enough to be back in florida this past weekend

and

even luckier to be able to sit in the sun and listen to an amazing concert

{and of course people watch}

~

there were adorable little girls with freshly painted faces

and

dogs with beads

there were costumes

and

poorly applied sunscreen

there was my hubby laughing with his lawn neighbor

and

a guy as busy as i was taking photos

there was little girl who danced right in front of us

and

this little sweetheart

who will grow up and work at disney world someday

there was this sweet grandma all dressed up

dancing the day away

and

another tiny dancer in pink who really knew how to swing it

there was this little boy who just simply made me laugh

now you know at mardi gras you have to dance

{well there are a few other things you can do}

in order to get some beads

~

so dancing i did

this lady didn't understand the rules

and

thought she could just tackle me in order to have a sparkly necklace

everyone knows it's rude to leave the dance floor once you have your beads

so i just kept moving

and

stole this man away from his wife

{not really. it just looks that way in the photo}

~

to say it was a great afternoon

in seaside

would be an understatement

~

so i'll just say

"when do we get to go back"
