I'm No Fashionista, But....

This is never okay.

My feelings tell me this is so.

Kind of how your feelings tell you that it's not okay to accept a burger with a pink center 

(unless you specifically asked for it).

Maybe she never grew up with these feelings. 

I mustn't judge.

But I can't help it.

If Antonio Banderas were a color, I'd dream in him.

Alas, you cannot find him at the antiques mall in the Ravenna, Ohio.

But you can find a life-size Zorro!!!
(Sadly, I am not Lindsay Lohan, and he is not Tyra Banks,
so I can't bring him to life.)

Click play. Seriously.

Brooklyn? I spent a month there one night...

Auntie Alice and I walked all the way there and back. 

Favorite thing I did. 

Besides digging up tulip bulbs on Park Avenue (they were replacing them with begonias and so the tulips were fair game). Carrying a shovel in a taxi and then mucking around in the dirt while New Yorkers look on in amazement is something not to be forgotten easily.

Sunday:

Monday:

This is me getting interviewed for NPR (WNYC).

They wanted to know how I felt about the new smoking law in NYC that says that you can't smoke in public parks. I said it didn't personally affect me, but that I don't like anyone smoking near me at any time or in any place. It seriously makes me sick. 

Alice texted me this morning to tell me that a friend emailed her to say that we were on the air!!

And my favorite picture of the day:

50 Best-er Bucks to whomever gets the movie reference in the post title.

I Think I Have Found My New Summer Job!!

I'm kidding.

I'm still on vacation!!

Mug Shot (aka the real me!)

I volunteered at an elementary school library for a few hours yesterday with my Aunt Debbie.

When one checks in as a visitor, one must enter all his or her information and take a picture for a name tag.... and since I didn't want to be mistaken for any other upstart Asian library volunteer, I made sure I would stand out if my volunteering integrity were ever questioned:

HAWT.

SECKSY.

Just sayin'.

:-)

"Is there anything good that comes out of Utah?"

someone cracked today when I was introduced at my aunts' church (United Methodist) in Indiana.

I know Utah isn't the most popular state in Union, but really? Who says that to someone's face? It actually hurt my feelings. I don't think I've ever said something like that to anybody. Nor have I ever had such a surge of pride for my home before. I love Utah. I really do. I could go on all day about how great it is. And I would've, but then they started talking about letting our lights shine and being tolerant of each other's differences.

Sigh. Ironic.

It was an unfair question, but I cheerfully and immediately answered his question with a big smile on my face,

"ME!!"

I'm Off to Indiana and New York!!

The aunties are flying me out to travel with them for a couple weeks! I will try to do some awesome out-of-state people watching...promises to be good! :)
