I’ve been listening to a 10 part documentary on Jazz during puzzle time. It’s been enlightening.

But why do I wear the Boy’s worn-out ancient flip-flops when I have 1000 pairs of sandals in my closet? Because they’re comfortable and I prefer men’s flip-flops. They have extra-wide straps that I appreciate.

sparkle gloss
This is a Loreal lipgloss that I’ve had for 10 billion years that I keep in my purse for photo shoots on the run. It photographs extremely well.

notes
I keep this in my purse for jotting down important items, like songs I like on KEXP when I’m in the car or random creative ideas. You never know when they’re gonna hit!

perfect pink flower
Look at this beautiful pink flower. JUST LOOK AT IT!

pale purple
This may be in the running for Most Boring Post Ever: look at the contents of my purse! Here’s another self-portrait with sunglasses! How about flowers in my backyard?

fiery flower
But oooh, ah, what nice flowers they are.

I’m not crazy about Cezanne because most Impressionism gives me gas, but there’s a really nice flowers-in-vase still life of his I’m thinking about painting. On our vacation next week–never leave home without canvas and paints. Argghhsssppp–I can’t wait.
