Mmm Mmm Good!

Macadamia -

King of nuts! Perfect paired with

some white chocolate chips

The Socialites

I have lots of really cool friends. One group from high school has recently decided that themed dinner parties are the perfect way to reunite and connect.

My friend Hannah penned this sentiment regarding these parties:

Perfect friendship. Love.
Often apart, heart breaking.
Reunion, best day!

I'd have to agree.

Release

Everyone - let go!

let's throw ourselves a party

in the stratosphere

[photo via - whose photostream I found through a google image search for "red balloons" <--- in case you were wondering ]

and

Fav punctuation

I love your symbol & name

how fun: ampersands!

[photo via Urban - don't you WANT one??]

?

I am at a loss.

This is disturbing, but still

I can't look away

New Guest Author!

I've told you about my pretty friend Gretchen before, but never have you gotten to sample her poetry stylings before!

To be completely honest, it's actually a team effort here: she and Griffin (husband) worked on them together. We well now refer to this duo as Greffin and/or Gritchen. But probably mostly Greffin.

What a treat for you. And for me. A treat for us all.

Hello Mr. Pug

We love your cute scrunchy face

and your curly tail.

[They want a pug, can you tell?]

Thanks you guys!

Spring Green

Fresh, cool, renewal

I so long for you now that

everything is brown.

"Extremely Dangerous"

A dragon has soared -

into my heart. A friend for

sweet Velocirapt.

[If you haven't seen How to Train Your Dragon... please do so! You won't even know it's Dreamworks, cause it's not stupid!]

Wave Your Flag

Want to know the best thing about the World Cup?

Right here:

When I get older

I will be stronger - just like

the wa-aving flag.

Feeling

And she discovered

that breaking dishes really

wasn’t criminal.

[Thanks Britt for another great one]

Velocirapt, take II

My pet dinosaur -

rather, BEST FRIEND dinosaur,

is doing great.

[thanks for asking!]

Sweet Baby James

Winter, Spring, Summer

or Fall. All you have to do

is call: James Taylor.

[I like that he has a mustache on his upper lip but also a BONUS mustache connecting his eyebrows!]

Heat

I lamented snow

in May, however I think

I'd welcome it back

[but probably just for a few hours

cause then I'd get sick of it again]

Humiliated Cows

Sensitivity:

yours extends even to cows.

Great vlog, Mr. Dax!

5..4..3..2..1.. BLASTOFF!

sometimes counting down

is even more fun than the

actual event.

[but sometimes not]

One year older and wiser too

Majestic - legend

Have a happy birthday, please:

Sir Patrick Stewart

Cake Wrecks

Today's haiku is from the lovely and oh-so-entertaining blog

www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com

I read their posts just about every day and the ridiculous stuff they feature never fails to make me laugh - or at least grin.

Check them out!

Mosquitoes

I really hate them.

Everything about their lives.

Satan in bug form.

Take Me Home

Mountains or beaches?

I'll choose mountains every time.

Give me sky & pines.

[PS you should be jealous because I am here RIGHT NOW!]

Sweet Surrender

Bread. Sweet, gentle Bread.

You make me cry my eyes out -

ne'er been happier.

[Please, even if you think they are an old fogie band, please just listen to ONE song: Sweet Surrender. You just may be wooed by their tender voices and oh-so-clever lyrics.]
