~ My favourite favorites ~

Aliciame[Alicia & me]

Every Monday I wake up more excited than on any other morning; before I've even put the kettle on or washed my face I am sitting at the computer, checking my email to see what Alicia has sent me overnight. We never discuss our pictures beforehand; she simply sends me her Polaroid shot for the week and I pair it with the shot i have sitting on my desktop, ready to go. When I asked Alicia if she'd like to work on a little collaboration with me, I had no idea that this would turn into such an enjoyable project. This morning I still had my thrill, as I opened her email to discover a shot of Lake Michigan, the perfect companion to my polka dot mug holding my daily hot water with lemon. We'd both been drawn to water; two blondes, two Polaroid lovers; two more of our Favorite Things. Today I wanted to share my favourite favorites.. so far.

~ TGI Friday ~

I am trusting that everything on my to-do list will be accomplished, somehow, one day. I have a tendency to list the long-term as well as the short-term; this might be foolish, but i like to remind myself of my goals daily.

I am so grateful for my eye sight, and for new glasses that help me read my amazing new book: A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman. I am also grateful for a wonderful experience shared with my Unravellers from the Summer class; our eight weeks ended today, and I know there will be a lot of virtual wine flowing in the group – what a fabulous bunch of women!

This week I have been inspired by:

these teacup lights
Probably going to have to order three packs of these: Polaroid Notes
The truth about writers

~ Charisma ~

In less than 24 hours I will have a new pair glasses. Thank god. I've been doing the minimum of typing and reading today – the lesson learned? It's essential to have a spare pair of glasses when your job involves using a computer, camera and/or book/notebook all day. Duly noted.

On my desktop sits a folder of images i've clipped from the web – random stuff that catches my eye, and i noticed (well, squinted) that i seemed to have quite a few of famous couples; all icons, all dripping with charisma. There is no purpose to this post other than to share some great images – each shot really captures how i perceive their relationships to have been.
