Day Six: Childhood Memory

This gray poodle was my favorite stuffed animal growing up...evidenced by the fact that I still have him. He has these really fluffy ears that I would brush until the individual strands separated and became more airy and soft. I would stick my nose into one of the ears and dose off at night, smelling the inside part of the ear which was leathery and had a smell I loved. All of the attention I gave to those ears made it necessary for them to be sewn back on several times by my mother and eventually by me when I was old enough to use the needle and thread. Worn by love and patched with love.

*Please don't miss what gave me great joy-picking a film and a filter that had years in them that were years of my childhood. I'm a real nerd like that.

That man right there? He's the best. He's my partner in this crazy life we've made for ourselves. He gets me and I get him. (OK, well, maybe I don't get his Auburn board fascination, but he probably doesn't get my Twilight problem, either, so we'll call it even.)

Day Four: Favorite Color

My favorite color is red...much to the chagrin of my husband. This is an Auburn house and he sees no good reason for bringing red into it.

The above beauty is my beloved Beijo purse which my sister gave me. She knows and respects my love for red and she sells these purses, so if you want me to hook you up...I can. I promise they have one in YOUR favorite color.
