Always Late to the Party

Tenacious Tink of Pickled Beef, once again, brings us our fabulous Weekly Words Challenge of green and want.

GREEN & WANT
This is my favorite green Billabong bikini the husband bought for me
to celebrate my first birthday I had with him.
We went to the beach.
I want to get back into it.

*****************

Stay tuned for next weeks words. . . .

Which are LIFE and WHITE. It's fun. Play!

Always Late to the Party

As usual, I am late. But for good reason(s):

1) It was revealed today that our house's electrical wiring is completely unsafe. Unsafe. Ok, close to unsafe, but unsafe nonetheless. None of it, but one (yes ONE) outlet is "grounded." I now need a gazillionbilliontrillion dollar-eeees . . .

2) As a result, we were not able to install U-verse. I un-installed the satellite dish service yesterday. We now have no TV. We can't get it until we upgrade the electrical wiring. Um. That means no Dexter (forewarning: sound) or Ghost Whisperer (2nd forewarning: more sound), which will cause me to pull out my hair. Including my eyebrows. I'm not kidding.

3) I went Christmas shopping today. Almost done now.

4) I started drinking heavily at 8:30 AM upon news of electrical wiring. [I kid, but it was tempting. I went and received a massage instead. Does that count instead of booze?]

Anyway, back to why I'm here posting at this late hour. The tantalizing Tink of Pickled Beef has challenged us with the words orange and landscape.

ORANGE
Yep. It happened. Inevitably, I spilled the terra-cotta paint color. . . . . . .
where there was no drop cloth.
(Immediately, upon doing so, I grabbed the camera for WWC. At least I have my priorities straight.)



LANDSCAPE
The landscape of Dixie a few days later. Yep. That's paint.
I'm having a great week.

***************************

Next week, if you want to play, the words are want and green. Do it.

Always Late to the Party

This weekly words challenge brought to this blogosphere of ours by thy slanted Tink are purple and assortment:

PURPLE
This is one of the 180 Pansy's my mother-in-law and I planted this past Saturday. They should be b-e-a-uuu-tiful by spring 2008.

ASSORTMENT
As is well known, I am painting in the home. This is one of my many assorted paint stations throughout the family room. No. I'm not done. I want to be, but I am not.

*************************

Next weeks words are landscape and orange.
[ Ahhh. Craptacular, I just used my Pansy's (AKA: landscape)]

Always Late to the Party

This weeks "Weekly Words Challenge" from our beloved Tink are
"yellow" and "inanimate".


YELLOW
Shades of yellow in blades of grass.
(The husband took this photo.)


INANIMATE
You may think this is a picture of my cat, Mia Bella, but it's not.
It is actually the brick behind her that is inanimate of which I'm about to go paint today.


*****


. . . aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand because my home renovations kept me from playing last week, I'm adding one.

RED & ARCHITECTURE
This is a red cap on a wire I found tucked behind the wall
of our 60-years-old home (architecture). Yes. The wire is still "hot."
Guess how many other wires I found like this hidden behind walls? Guess who has to hire an electrician to come kill
hot wires hidden behind walls? Guess who's pretty happy about live wires hidden behind walls?


Next weeks words challenge are Assortment and Purple.

Always Late to the Party

This weeks "Weekly Words Challenge" from our beloved Tink are "old" and "blue".
Bonus sporks for "Halloween".


OLD
This is Bo-bo. He is my very first stuffed animal.
I was given him when I was born. Sadly, I do not know by who.



BLUE
This is my eye. It is blue.




HALLOWEEN

This is Louis, my sisters dog, wearing Lederhosen for Halloween.

Finally,

My little Lola, the little devil.



What photo's did you use for this weeks words challenge?

Next weeks words are "old" and "blue". Bonus sporks for "Halloween". C'mon, you know you want to play!

Always Late to the Party

This weeks "Weekly Word Challenge" from our beloved Tink are "posed" and "natural".
(In hopes of not having Jackson Hole overkill and boring my 7 readers to death.)

Though, I could not decide between these two pictures for
NATURAL

~ so you get both ~

In this one the bison is posed; not me. Definitely not me.

POSED

P.S. If anyone's interested in more Jackson pictures, I have a slide show posted in the previous entry. It's a bit long, with U2, so just make sure you have time & your work speakers are not a blaring. I am now done boasting of the greatness of Jackson Hole. I think I'm losing readership and I only have 7 readers. . . . .

Always Late to the Party

For love of all things Pickled Beef:

Common

Rare

In just getting back from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I could not pass up using some pictures of the 493 we snapped here and there. The first are of elk horns, which they shed every winter and can be found many places on the ground throughout the west. The second is of the American Bison, which are just on the cusp of being a threatened bovine species. So, while not technically rare, they are endangered to a degree and we never see them walking through our streets in our Longhorn City.

If you do not play Weekly Word Challenge now, you should. Click on "Pickled Beef" above and find out what the hype is all about. You may even become a Stalkerella of Tink even if you don't play. . . . .
