DIRTY DUATHLON

My oldest son, Brent, participated in a duathlon in Austin this month. He enjoys doing all of these fun events. It certainly keeps him in great shape! Here are some pictures I wanted to share that he sent to me.

HOLIDAY SHOW

THIS IS A COPY OF THE INVITATIONS FOR THE HOLIDAY SHOW AT THE EASTMAN GALLERY. IT IS VERY EXCITING TO SEE MY NAME IN PRINT!

CRAVING TO CREATE

It has been too long since I have been out in my studio working on new mosaics. I was so busy getting everything ready for my holiday show that I haven't started anything new in weeks. The ideas are circulating around in my head so I need to go create again. But first I must design some cards with my information for people to pick up and take home with them. Here is the art work I will be using. This isn't something you can rush and finish quickly though. I am learning as I go... _____________________________________________________

MOSAIC WORK

TODAY I TOOK MY ART WORK TO THE EASTMAN GALLERY WHERE I WILL BE SHOWING OVER THE HOLIDAY SEASON. It is my first time to exhibit and I am very excited and hopeful that my mosaic art will sell. This cartoon reminds me of what people might think when they see my work.

DOODLING AND DRAWING

A PIGGY SMILE

I searched the internet for smiles of the rich and famous.

WOMEN OVER 40

In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40: 60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS) "As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off that you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!" _____________________________________________________________ THIS AFTERNOON IS THE BIG GAME AGAINST TEXAS A&M AND UT IN COLLEGE STATION. BE SURE AND WATCH ON ABC AT 2:30!!! HOOK EM HORNS...

GOBBLE GOBBLE!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! DON'T EAT TOO MUCH TODAY.

NATIONAL DOG SHOW

The family is doing much better this morning dealing with our food poisoning. Unfortunately we had to cancel plans tonight for a family get together. We just aren't ready to eat anything! Be sure and set up the DVR for the dog show tomorrow.

Thursday, November 22, 2007 12-2 pm ET NATIONAL PURINA DOG SHOW

Celebrate the "Best In Show" with "The National Dog Show Presented By Purina" --- John O' Hurley returns as host of "The National Dog Show Presented By Purina," a purebred canine competition that is part of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia's annual dog show. The show -- one of the oldest and most prestigious sporting events in North America -- is one of only six remaining "benched" dog shows where the public can interact with the show dogs. With expert commentary from David Frei, "the dean" of dog show commentators, the show is expected to feature more than 2,000 of the nation's leading canines in a wide array of more than 150 breeds and varieties, all vying for "Best in Show" honors. "The National Dog Show Presented by Purina" is a property of NBC and Carson International of Ketchum, Idaho.

FOOD POISONING

Sunday afternoon the whole extended family went to an unveiling at the cemetery for my Aunt Rebecca. She passed away last year and so they were putting the headstone on her grave. It was a very nice service with the Rabbi saying a few words and then everyone went to this restaurant for a late lunch. What we didn't know then we soon woke up with on Tuesday morning. All 20 of us came down with food poisoning. I don't wish anything like this even on my worst enemy!!! We are experiencing nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea that just won't stop. I AM GOING BACK TO BED NOW.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY SONG

Those of you that remember seeing this on SNL years ago will enjoy seeing it again. If not, check it out. Adam Sandler sang this before he became famous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH0oXV7VqHo

BANJO PICKER

My husband is a banjo picker. He started when he was in high school. I love to hear him play. Because of him I developed a love for Bluegrass Music. We went to the greatest festival a few years ago. It was the Telluride Bluegrass Festival held in Telluride, Colorado. I fell in love with that place. It would be too cold for me to live there but visiting to go skiing or to attend the festival is fine with me.

YIDDISH WITH DICK AND JANE

The Yiddish Language

Some of my earliest memories as a child was hearing Yiddish spoken in our house. When my grandparents would come over and they didn't want us to understand what they were telling our parents, they would speak in Yiddish. Over the years we would finally pick up some of the words and expressions. Now it seems that even some of my gentile friends are picking up some of my Yiddish expressions.

HAPPY DISNEYLAND

Now more than in the past people are choosing to be cremated and have their ashes scattered in places that had meaning to them while alive. But this story takes the cake! I found it on the web this morning. Disneyland workers were recently forced to close the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction after a ride security camera caught a woman apparently dumping human remains, in what may be a growing trend. Workers spotted the woman sprinkling an unidentified substance into the water on the "Pirates" ride. The woman told Disney park workers that the substance she dumped was baby powder, but officials are investigating the possibility that she sprinkled human ashes. Some park-goers say that people smuggling in the cremated remains of their loved ones and then sprinkling ashes on rides has been going on for a while.They said it started at the Haunted Mansion, but now the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride is growing in popularity. It is not unusual for people to scatter a loved one's remains at the happiest place on earth.

THE COLD- HARD FACTS

I took this picture when Zoey was being neutered by my brother in law who is a veterinarian. I even got to assist him! It was an interesting experience. 41,000 animals are killed in U.S. shelters every day.

Most are taken to the shelter by their owners.

Killing our pets is not the solution to overpopulation.

The single largest cause of death for cats and dogs in America is euthanasia (humane death).

15 million animals per year are killed in pounds and shelters. (41,000 per day; 1,700 per hour; 28 per minute.)

Thousands of pets never make it to shelters. They die slowly, unknown and unseen, from starvation, disease and other torturous ends.

Only 12 to 18 percent of pets are adopted from shelters or animal control facilities.

Over 70,000 puppies and kittens are born each day. (3,000 each hour; 50 each minute.) p> In four years, one cat and her offspring can produce 20,736 kittens.

In seven years, one dog and her offspring can produce 4,372 puppies.

25 to 35% of animals surrendered to shelters are purebreds.

Spaying of female pets reduces the risk of mammary cancer and uterine infections.

Neutered male pets fight less and don't roam as much. The risk of prostate cancer is reduced.

Spaying and neutering does not cause pets to become fat and lazy.

ZOEY CAESAR

SNAKES ALIVE!!!

The exterminator came out this morning to treat the exterior of our house. They found this Copperhead in our garage! They found it right under my workbench where I make my mosaics. I go out there barefoot most of the time or my dog follows me and sits while I work. We will have to fix all the holes where they might be crawling in. YIKES...

NOT A BORING NAME IN THE BUNCH

This morning I was thinking about the time when we named our children and how stressful a time that was. You want to pick something special and keep it a secret until the baby is born. I liked the unusual names and so we used ones that were not common at the time. (BRENT, LANE, AVERY) Even naming pets can be a very challenging time with trying to pick the one that fits their personality. (SIMONE a Dalamation, ZOEY a Bichon, and CAESAR a gray cat) ____________________________________________________________________ But here are some of the strangest and most unusual names that celebrities and famous people have named their babies.

STRUCTURED PROCRASTINATION

Procrastination is a type of avoidance behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. I think I have been procrastinating for the last month! This is how I have been feeling since I am under a time constraint for grouting all my mosaics. I can find a million things to do besides sit down and do the grouting. ____________________________________________________________________ Structured procrastination is the art of making this bad trait work for you. The key idea is that procrastinating does not mean doing absolutely nothing. Procrastinators seldom do absolutely nothing; they do marginally useful things, like watching TV or reading e-mails or making a diagram of how they will reorganize their crafting rooms when they get around to it. Why does the procrastinator do these things? There are many ways to avoid success in life, but the most sure-fire just might be procrastination. Procrastinators sabotage themselves. They put obstacles in their own path. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ____________________________________________________________________ Watch this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4NoQwyqDyXI

ADDICTION

HELLO, MY NAME IS KATHY AND I AM ADDICTED TO COLLECTING SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS. ____________________________________________________________________ Addiction is defined as a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life. ____________________________________________________________________ I do have other habits like collecting cookie jars, fabric, beads, vintage ash trays, and more that I can't even think of at the moment. I am running out of room in my house. HOW ABOUT YOU? WHAT ARE YOUR ADDICTIONS?
