this is as close to snow as i want to be, the falling bits of bokeh in this shot. this afternoon, dc airports remained closed and we are snowed out for the conference. my wishes were answered when i wished that they would tell me before i got to the airport. so instead, i got run errands and spend the day making some things for next weekend. i discovered the joys of a martha stewart doily punch and went rather wild making paper ribbons. of course my fingers are cramped tonight. *smile*
i watched the super bowl with family - my one professional football game of the year. was it me, or did the commercials seemed rather lame this year? the only ones that i liked where the baby cow/clydesdale and then, of course, the e-trade babies. (milka-what?) seemed like there were a couple of 'hangover' ripoffs in there.
hope you're safe and warm wherever you are.
Glad you got to have some fun instead of work obligations. I thought the careerbuilder commercial with everyone in their underwear has hilarious! Lovely photo ;)
ReplyDeleteSafe:YES..Warm: NO...it's firkin freezin outside this evening!
ReplyDeleteWe all party up here for the Super Bowl too...it's crazy.
How's your Art Journal coming along?
C.x.
Yay! Glad you got to hang
ReplyDeleteout with family today! :O)
Loved the e-trade baby commercial. And yes, I thought they were really lame this year.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're safe 'n sound and not snowbound!
I agree that they were lame this year! I watched along with my husband even though, gasp, I don't really like football. Even made him some beef stew so he'd have guy-food to eat!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, my friend! xo
Char I am glad you had some family time. And got to play and be Martha, Love love the photo, have a great week.
ReplyDeleteyep, loved those talking babies, too. and I love your tulips,.. as I sit here coughing my head off with yet another chest cold they remind me that it won't be long until spring and warm sunshine! Thanks for the "medicine"... :)
ReplyDeleteThose tulips are fantastic! love the bokeh!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry your trip was cancelled/postponed. Love the tulips though!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo - such lovely bokeh!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to bypass our Snowmageddon...it's a mess up here!
totally lame commercials this year....really bad actually, which disappointed me, but my team won, so that made up for it.....
ReplyDeleteand whoa....now I can call you martha ???? love it !!!
Usually the Super Bowl is the only football game I pay attention to, but this year, I didn't :(
ReplyDeleteLooks like we'll be "snowed-in" this week, with 6-12 inches of snow predicted Wednesday.
Yes sireee...my husband still can't get home because of the snow. There's more in the forecast on Tuesday night. Sigh. I thought the commercials were better than last year, so I guess last year was pretty bad. Anyway, buckling down for another winter weather hit!
ReplyDeletesnowed out before you boarded is a relief...I wondered..happy that your weekend was blooming like these
ReplyDeletesnowed in? How exciting.
ReplyDeleteWell at least you didn't have to go to the snow city! Glad you got to enjoy the super bowl. Holly said the people in New Orleans went crazy! Loud music and fire works everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing that same lacy paper punch...:0) great minds think alike!
I've been snowed in so many times...it's old hat for me now.
ReplyDeleteHi Char, that is the most beautiful photos of tulips I think I've ever seen (it's kind of my b-day flower--I saw kind of b/c they also say jonquils) anyway, I love tulips. I tried to leave a comment on your new post, but something's funky with the computer and I wasn't able to. Funny how men sometimes have a hard time saying it, but they actually feel it the deepest :) Hope you're having a good Monday!!
