Only One Left

Hmmmm, if this year was four pieces of pie, only one would be left to enjoy. Only one quarter of this year remains. There are 105 shopping days left until Christmas. Autumn is upon us. And I continue to record the daily drips and drabs of my life on my calendar.

Want to see more?

I planned out my apron making strategy.

My thoughts on this season's 1st episode of Project Runway.

Didn't we do this back in grade school?

My daily view.

Sometimes I draw on non-work pages too. Basically if I have a pen or a highlighter in my hand, nothing is safe from me.

My new alter-ego. She is not actual size if you were wondering....

She enjoys wardrobe changes and changing settings. She is willing to travel and she gets along well with others. She is a hard-worker...don't give her any pens or highlighters please!

She has definite opinions and likes a nice pair of pants.

There is a time for everything under heaven...even a daily dose of calendar scribbling.

More tomorrow.

I have a great suggestion for the last photo: time for a nap!

That gets my vote!

You know I always enjoy these glimpses of your calendar...they make me really really wish I could draw.....

Cute, amusing and creative...I think you may have enjoyed a career in advertising?

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."

...."We were Birds Without Wings. You were a robin and I was a blackbird. And there were some who were eagles or vultures or pretty gold finches, but none of us had wings. For birds with wings nothing changes. They fly where they will and they know nothing about borders and their quarrels are very small. But we are always confined to earth, no matter how much we climb to the high places and flap our arms. Because we cannot fly we are condemned to do things that do not agree with us. Because we have no wings we are pushed into struggles and abominations that we did not seek and then after all that, the years go by. The mountains are leveled. The valleys rise. The rivers are blocked by sand and the cliffs fall into the sea." -Louis De Berniere

Who Said It First?

The phrase "little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
