The Rainbow Maker that Panda got me.
The proud new owner of a Rainbow Maker, direct from the Smithsonian, I believe.
I can’t wait until one day I have a cat again – this will be great entertainment for it! And it would be great in some sort of a sun room…
Look at what I found waiting at my front door today! 🙂
Ding dong, deliveryyy! What's this? A Pom-a-gram?
There's something (pom)wonderful in here...
Aww, a SWEET message. 🙂
Peeking out from under the packaging is the tip of a lovely pomegranate.
Mmm, so plump and red! And it's a wonderfully chilled temperature from the cold outside. I can't wait to eat it!
The ginkgo leaves fade from green to yellow to brown as the season changes and they begin to die.
Ah, haircuts! They are always so refreshing and renewing. There’s something about getting rid of some hair and coming out with a silky, shiny ‘do that is very pleasing. And today that is what I got done. 🙂 I’ve been meaning to get a haircut for awhile now – the ends of my strands were beginning to fray and the dryness lately has made my hair brittle and coarse.
The cut is nothing different from what I usually get, but the shampoo and conditioning I got today were great for the condition of my hair. Now my hair doesn’t weigh heavy on me or get tangled towards the ends. It feels so good to run my hands through and there’s not a hint of static! The wonders that a salon treatment can do. I absolutely love it, though I still don’t go more than two or three times a year at best, since it’s really a luxury and not a necessity.
Doesn’t your mood lighten too when it’s a bit breezier around your head? The better to appreciate wind with! The better to flip around! The better to twist and curl! Oh yes, it feels good and it makes me feel good. Sometimes I do understand why people spend so much money on things.
I'm a sucker for a set of pens with something unique. Like special ink for preventing check fraud, for instance.

Bruins understand that Westwood is a crazy place to try to find street parking at, but this summer, it got out of control with construction and special groups arriving. Did they really need FIVE signs here?!?!
Ok, seriously? Isn't this a bit overkill? Might as well just put one sign that says NO PARKING except 6-8 PM Sunday.
So I have a root canal in my front tooth, which I have no recollection of receiving and no clue why I needed it in the first place. I thought root canals were for older people, but apparently not!
That's what my jaw looks like!
It’s weird to see an x-ray of yourself… like, “hey, that’s my spine!” Kind of surreal.
It’s stormy here in SoCal and there are some great shots being captured of this weather, courtesy ABC7’s photo gallery.
This is my favorite - not only do you have a landmark and two seemingly contradictory weather indicators, there's also that one random helo in the middle of it all.
Wow, that is one intense bolt.
I call it rainbow birthing lightning.
Reminds me of those globes that create this effect.
Valencia, which has been branding itself “Awesometown,” had their first food truck event tonight, inviting a handful of the trucks to the parking lot at Bridgeport Marketplace. It was a smashing success and too good for its own good, with waaay more people showing up than anticipated. Panda and I spent an hour and an hour and a half each at the Fresh Fries and Border Grill Trucks, respectively. It was absolute insanity and I know next year it’s going to be a lot more spread out.
This way to YUM! They also had signs that said GRUB, lol.
A LOT of people showed up - far more than they expected! There were two aisles like this with food truck lining either end and a mess of lines crowding up the area.
This was where I started in the line for Border Grill. It took me an hour and a half to get to the front, order, and get my food. CRAZINESS.
