155/365 ENTRY WAY

152/365 - COLOURS

Blue, blue and blue.
I like to call it Venetian Blue.
My new curtains! Finally!

The side of the water pitcher (hand painted in Ravello).

149/365 - COLOURS

Original floor tiles in the guest bathroom (my grandma liked green).

144/365 - SIGNS

An hour getting to the hair stylist, nearly 2 to get home! (usually 45 min. each way).
Took this as I was leaving her house (she does hair out of her house), as I felt my day was indeed, already at an end, as most of it would be taken up by traffic. Sadly, I was right.

143/365 - SIGNS...

...that a storm's a comin'!

142/365 - SIGNS

Soooo nice to have good healthcare again!!!

134/365 - 7 DEADLY SINS - WRATH

...of Mother Nature.
The sky today, with fires burning in Yorba Linda (maybe 30 miles away?), and people evacuating Anaheim Hills (about 20 miles away), the air has turned a greyish, fiery suppressive orange, and there has been ash falling from the sky for hours now.

I find it very unsettling, and sad for all those who have lost and are losing their homes.

131/365 - 7 DEADLY SINS - ENVY (& Gluttony)

***Possible spoilers for those of you outside the U.S. waiting for Cycle 11 of ANTM***

Undecided as to whether I'd prefer to be the model, getting made up for a shoot,
or the photographer, controlling the shoot and creating a gorgeous image with a bitchen piece of equipment.
But yes, I envy them all.

And because I'm posting this after the fact and have yet to find a decent photo of GLUTTONY, I'll use this one:... in which Marjorie, up until now my favorite, imbibed far too much one night, and only by the grace of her housemates was saved from embarrassment... but alas, not elimination.
Au revoir, Marjorie, bonne chance!

130/365 - 7 Deadly Sins - SLOTH

Pretty much sums up my attitude of late. Forgot it was a SIN!

129/365 - 7 Deadly Sins - GREED

These are but four of the many shops I have to pass by when going to the Apple Store for training (not to mention the temptations IN the Apple Store itself!)

7 DEADLY SINS theme - LUST

... and this one doesn't count (I didn't take it; I forgot to take photos of him on the show; my brain was jelly), but of course I HAD to post it, as today's Oprah (which I rarely watch!) just happened to be all about the upcoming film, AUSTRALIA, starring Nicole Kidman, and ...

Perfect Man.

125/365 - LIGHT (kinda)

Couldn't quite get the much brighter effect of the sunlight reflecting on these leaves SO brightly!

124/365 - LIGHT

123/365 - LIGHT. A new, bright, shining light.

122/365 - LIGHT

I couldn't decide.

121/365 - LIGHT

____________________________________________________________

But must add this, as I had a wonderful night the Ice House, in Pasadena, where I FINALLY got to see live, and then meet one of my all-time comedy heroes, Paula Poundstone.

120/365 - LIGHT

This was the most interesting photo of the day - and coincidence that the theme for the next week is LIGHT, so thought I'd start a day early!
