Vacation

YEAH!!!!!

Winter Blue

Today is the 25th day

of the 6th month

of the year 2006

and 6 months from today another

Winter Blue will be upon us.

Thanks Ottmar for your beautiful music

which is welcomed anytime of the year

especially when in hibernation from the

heat of summer.

GOAAAAAAAAAL

Word of the day: Goal
Music: Twilight in Galisteo, Ottmar Liebert

********

Goal

With the frenzy of World Cup Soccer

and the NHL Stanley Cup Finals

of which I've been hooked on TV watching

the drama unfold, today's word seemed appropiate!

********

Actually, today's word of the day should be RAIN!

Houston recieved almost 10 inches of rain

in less than 10 hours. Thankfully, our side of town fared better

than others but still I feel for those who had water

in their homes and autos. The good news was that

I got a day off work as most workplaces were closed. :-)

Hibernation

Word of the day: Hibernation
Mood: Cranky...it's too hot outside!

If I could, I'd like to hibernate for the whole summer under the cool, refreshing blue waters of la la land! Of course, it would help if I could swim! The dog days of summer are here and it seems as though there is no end in sight!

Of note, I brewed some tea yesterday and made a refreshing mix of Hibiscus & Green tea and poured it over ice! I couldn't get enough of it and I finished the whole batch of it by day's end!

RIP Angel

The above pic is not my photo but I borrowed it from Yahoo photos. The little blue & white parakeet reminds me of my little one-Angel that died yesterday. She...rather he had been sick and finally passed on. He was rather a mean budgie but still I will miss him. I still have the other parakeet-Cutie who is getting a new friend this evening as a friend is letting me have one of his female budgies!

Today is Tuesday

the sixth day

of the sixth month

of the sixth year

of the 21st century.

Nice symmetry.

I'm being a copycat here and

borrowing words from Ottmar Liebert's blog.

I had intended on saying something similar

but he took the words right out of my mouth. ;-)

Bread

Word of the Day: Bread
Music: Baby, I'm a Want You, by Bread

During the past few days I've been eating so much bread of late and especially while in NYC where I partaked in some wonderful pizza, bagels, and baked bread. Actually, I started before vacation as the Culinary Department where I work was selling some scrumptious Raisin bread. Since I was leaving town, I ended up freezing the slices which I have now been enjoying with my morning coffee or tea.

Ironically, while in NYC we went to the Virgin Megastore and I came across a classic CD by the 70's rock band: Bread. The CD was a steal @ $8. I have been playing it nonstop since I got back. The music is timeless!

Regretably, by the end of the week my partaking of bread will come almost to a halt as too much bread adds too much unwanted rolls. :-(

Traveling

In the past two months, I've done more traveling than I have in the past year! First, there was Seattle in April to see Ottmar Liebert and just got back from NYC. Tomorrow, I'm off to a quick trip to Corpus Christi. I've enjoyed my travels but it's always nice to come back home to family, friends and loved ones. Visiting NYC was great...
especially with pictures like this!
