Cue my inspiration music, please:

Meme time!

Never knew what the hell a meme was til I starting this blogging thing. I got tagged/given an award/told to divulge deep and dark secrets. I am here to tell ya- I am keeping the deep and dark ones to myself!

1. I can never help myself when it comes to flowers and taking photos - Nope, absolutely NO self control on this front. Not trying to cut back or anything, either.

2. Totally the weirdo, stray that lost their way, what the hell is she doing now! one of the family. And now that I am "back", I'm outing myself even more. Uh oh.



3. Not afraid of color. Tend to go right up to the brightest and the boldest of them and "hang out". Collect orange wherever and whenever I can. So sue me if you can't find some now.

4. Find people that have a slightly off kilter or skewed perception of life to be highly fascinating. Want to cozy up to them and see if the zaniness is catching - hope to come down with a bad case and learn even more.


5. I have a bad case of "I know there is more out there that I am going to accomplish", it just doesn't involve cars, 401K's and a Mr. Jones. But I would settle for a cute cuddler with an artistic bent and a sense of passion. (He could have a car though, that would make life a little simpler, and that would be okay I guess).

6. I like to try to be funny. But in person, I can be boisterous sometimes, and other times, you'd have to sit real close to hear my jokes. I need to feel comfortable enough to let me channel the funnies. I can be a pistol - just not always within everyone's hearing range.

7. I don't have any tattoos. Not a one. I have thought about it for years. Know artists, have access to mad tat talent - can't decide. Then decide, but can't find all the right artwork. Sigh. Will I ever get a tattoo? Big question. No clear answer. Looking for divine intervention. Or really great tattoo kismet.

This MEME MOMENT brought to you by:
UMAMA (oh mama) a vibrant poster of amazing finds and a great photographer in the making

THE PEACH KITCHEN Okay - I love food blogs, and I lived abroad enough that I LOVE me some asian/filipino food with a slice of cuteness and fun on the side - love to visit this blog

METAMORPHISIS Silke is an artist on a journey, and I can't help but check in to see the next exciting discovery she will be sharing

MEME NOMINATIONS:

LOVE AND A LICKED SPOON
RICE CANDY
MOOGIE & PAP

Okay - the rules go something like this. Take the logo thingy below, put it on the blog, make a link to this blog then write 7 silly, relatively unknown things about yourself. Nominate 7 other lucky souls you want to peer at more closely. Etc, etc. Choose one of the below - why choose? cuz I received three in this week. Or not. I am not always so big on rules sometimes. Like today.

99 different postures and poses

uuuwoooaaooww eeehhheeee ouu oooohhh

I am teetering, tottering near falling on the brink of 100 posts on the madlycreative blog.

Oh me Oh myo

Let me catch my breathe - right my balance, find a word to squeak.

I have begun to enjoy this journey more than I can express - as I throw caution aside and the entire kitchen sink in
I want to leave nothing out - yet, how to let it all cohesively in?
The amalgamation of many disparate parts (forgive me if I repeat myself, that seems to be a duplicate piece that always wants center stage - again)
I am too many to hide away, to few good bits not to share at least a few times over


Message to the Blogosphere:

We are family, all of my sisters and me (hey! it's a singalong).
Share the smiles, make them last many miles and go to sleep with a phone call made and a silly handwritten card mailed. Let no happy stone to share go unturned. Rejoice in the chance to dance in the car with the music blaring. Paint your toenails the color of your heart.Surprise your Mom, wherever she may be.


For one happily inclined soul - Me, you, Reiki and your heart chakra. I, Reiki Master and Channel will send you the universal energy of light to the place where the beat of your emotions resides. Leave a comment, leave a link if need be, and we will go from there. Why wait till 100 posts? Those of you who are interested, include the word HEART in your comment. One more heart I get to touch - yeah, now that's what I call livin'

Red,white and blue

Happy 4th of July

Happier Moments

Are you my Mommy?

Look at this face? Who couldn't love this face?
What am I doing today? Trying to find her Mommy.

Internet. Fido Finder. Craigslist.
Good old gumshoe detective stuff . Posters.

Once before providence put me and a dog together on this same journey - to get home.
I am going for 2 outta 2.

Comtemplative

It's in a cup, it is a cake - It's CakeCups!

We always like to play with our food - that's a given. And we love to play dress up. Makes absolute sense that we would go wacky over little, petite cakes that we get to make purdy and then devour. Enter the realm of my cupcake world - if you dare.

Knit cupcakes with pinkishly cute flavor. A cupcake for all seasons. One you can constantly admire and reminds you of the favorite snack that you should be on your way to purchase, immediately, if you had your way.

So, have it your way Darling!

Hats that look like cupcakes are also an essential. You must have the proper clothing accessories while admiring the object of your desire, planning it's eventual demise, asking yourself that all
important question -

Do I eat all of the frosting off first, or save some for with the cake?

You know that you are being, well, obsessive, when you make photo cards of the cake in the cup, put them in picture frames, send them onto friends to salivate over. Buy copious amounts of cute literature telling you how to create more and more and more of them in all of their earthly forms.

So, if you are in need of cupcake solace, a friend in arms when they try to come and take your cupcakes away from you just when you were having the most fun,

I am here for you.

(And I can hook you up - mainline you some of the Cupcakes accessories any girl would ever need. Or just let you cry on my shoulder, and hold the cupcake away from those salty tears so that we have something good to eat when we come to our collective senses)
