1. these are Charlize Theron's legs (not taken by me)

from the J'adore (Dior perfume) ad on TV. I'm generally pretty happy with my body, wish I was a little taller, but dayum I wish I had legs like these. The ad has been running incessantly on cable, and I'm suffering from a little ankle-envy:




:o

The photo of your son is wonderful, lost...

3. and this is Shadowfax, Gandalf's horse

(can you tell what's on TV right now??)




Shadowfax was a beautiful horse. In the daylight his coat appeared silver, while at night it was a shadowy grey that made Shadowfax nearly invisible in the dark. He was light-footed and extremely swift and could run great distances without tiring.

[lost-in-nj]

7. Shadowfax is beautiful!!!

glad he wasn't there when your son was out cavorting in the snow.

Hey - a good friend of mine grew up in Estes Park -- wonder if you might know the family? Did you live there, or did your dad retire there?

[SPKrazy]

12. no my dad retired there

glad the bobcat wasn't there too

22. Ahh ok

that explains the zen look....

there used to be a cartoon on nickelodeon called Belle and Sebastian...
Belle was a GP and every episode some one thought he was a monster

http://johnnorrisbrown.com/classic-nick/belleandsebastian/index.htm

I followed the series until the end....
well with my son!!! LOL
lost

[fudge stripe cookays]

28. Interesting!

I never knew about the cartoon, but I had heard of the band Belle and Sebastian, who must have named themselves AFTER the cartoon.

[Inchworm]

16. That dog looks so chill

He is like.. "ok, I'll look, but no way am I smiling. I am much too cool for that." :D

:hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. And he has such a gorgeous smile!

I think cameras make him nervous because he came from rescue, and when someone took his picture that meant he was going to change homes again.

So it's really hard to catch him in a good pose, dernit!

[SPKrazy]

31. Fargles Is Beautiful

and your house looks nice, cold, but nice

:hi:

[fudge stripe cookays]

33. It's just a rental.

I've been up here for 3 months. The sale on our house in Texas closes on Thursday, and then reprehensor can finally join me up here.

When the lease is up, then we'll start examining our options up here. I'm actually really surprised. I'm a lifelong Texan. I figured I'd hate the snow, but I really don't. My health has improved since I've been up here out of the heat, so it's all good! :hi:

[SPKrazy]

34. that's a switch

sort of

although i don't know if i've heard of anyone moving to Texas to improve their health

the cold bothers my joints

grew up in the cold

Arkansas isn't really a good climate either it is too variable, and it is humid like Texas.

Maybe it is the dryness? I don't know where you are

:hi:

pretty house anyway

hope you have good luck and Reprehensor can join you soon!

[fudge stripe cookays]

68. It's the MS.

I absolutely cannot handle the heat anymore.

From May to OCtober, I have to sprint from the car into the house. I miss gardening, which I can't really do anymore in 104 degrees. And surprisingly, the snow hasn't bothered me like I thought it would. My legs are a little sluggish in the cold, but not bad.

I lost ten pounds the first month I was up here without even trying since I was finally getting outside and walking and exercising for the first time in 2 years.

I figure that if I have to stay inside for 6-9 months of the year, I'd like for it to be the crappy half!

[yewberry]

48. The sale closes this week?

I'm so glad to hear that!

Yay! Really, congratulations to you and reprehensor!

(You deserve congrats, a big hug, and a glass of champagne--please make sure that you both have them!)

[fudge stripe cookays]

69. If all goes well, YES!

He will probably need to stay to see out his two weeks notice at work (depends if his boss takes the notice, or fires him when he gives notice, which he is famous for doing).

But could theoretically be up here by around the 7th-10th of January! :woohoo:

[datasuspect]

54. is that your house?

looks like it was built between 1946-1955.

my parents had a two-story georgian, it was built in 1947, solid building.

[fudge stripe cookays]

67. 1930s actually

Not mine. Just a rental. I can't wait to get out of here and into something of my own again. It's quite a style cramper to rent after owning for a few years.

30. great pictures.

lostnnj, you must be so proud of your son.

okay, here's one I took...




my favorite place where I live. where I'd live if I could. Now it's surrounded by snow, but the water isn't frozen.



this one comes with a story. so, I've never really tried to get a photo of myself via a mirror and so I just went to the largest mirror in my house, the bathroom, and then I checked to see if the picture worked and I saw that when my son cleaned the bathroom, he apparently cleaned the mirror with something other than windex that then slid down the mirror and so... that's what's what. Did I clean it then? No. he gets to fix the mirror cleaning when he gets home. right now I am buried in books. stacks of books for one thing or another thing. it's too much. sooo here's my embarrassing gross mirror picture during my break from books.

[lost-in-nj]

42. Wonderful pictures

both of them.....
where is the first one taken???

you look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

lost

:hi:

[RainDog]

64. the first one

is a little lake where some friends live. no motors, except for little battery-charged trawling mtrs. near a national forest and a state forest. but it's only 16 miles from the center of my town. it's very peaceful.

thanks for the kind words. that mirror surely helps add that... certain... je ne sais pas...

Thanks! I've just been painting a lot and trying to figure out what to do next. :)

46. Some more barn pictures. :)

And a pretty river picture. Before it got cold enough here that the water turned to ice. :)

[lost-in-nj]

49. I LOVE your barn pictures

I think.....


if these walls could talk...... what stories


could you imagine!?!?!?

:hug: :hi:


lost

[DarkTirade]

57. Well I know what the blue one would talk about. :)

Dunno about the red one.

But the blue one used to be a place for loading, storing and unloading things onto a train route that passed nearby. There's still a small section of track right next to it that never got pulled up.



*edit* I think you can kind of see one of the doors on the side of the barn there on the left... just the very bottom of it. It's a huge bay door that's raised a few feet off the ground for easier transfer to and from train cars. :) At least, that's what it looked like to me.

[seemunkee]

51. I got no new pictures

Just wanted to say that is a great shot of your son. Firefighters have got my respect for doing a tough job.
