New photo posts on the Queen Mary

About a month ago, we took a long planned trip to the Queen Mary specifically to photograph her and some of her more interesting details.

I am now in the process of posting that blog over on our November Obscura blog. Alas I did not seem to have captured any ghosts though I was alone for at least 10 minutes b the infamous Hatch 13!

Looking ahead to my Vacation at the end of October so I can get some new pics. We have our destination planned and a few additional photo ideas for the spare days as well.

New Doll, not much else

I have not posted in quite a while I realized. Mostly because I have been so busy and with the overtime hours plus commute I am on line for maybe 10 minutes after work and then I am asleep. It is really true that saying about all work and no play. 

This is my newest doll. I thought I deserve her since I have been doin nothing but workin.

So lets see what is new. Well 5 people retiring from my office,  I am fairly sure the building I am in is haunted, My new car had to be in the shop and get a brand new transmission, cost Toyota almost $4000. I took a rock to my windshield on Monday, we have a kit on it now, so hopefully I can make use of this slightly used windshield a while longer. I have some Queen Mary photos to process and post on the November Obscura blog. And I am still behind on most of the things I NEED to do, let alone want to do.

I will be reopening the Etsy shops for the season soon. I really need to be able to stay up late to get stuff done.

Cemetery Wrought Iron

I adore cemetery wrought iron. Recently when I visited Virginia City, Nevada I was treated to several cemeteries full of it! You can see the rest of my Virginia City cemetery photos HERE

Velvet Buddha

 A velvet Buddha! I saw some of these today, and so what could I do? I brought home a purple velvet one. He is in a spot where his tummy can be rubbed while walking out the door!

I need this accessory for my Mac

 Found this little accessory while browsing the interwebz. I want this now.

Too much OT

My office has been on super over time mode for the past 3 weeks. Looks like next week is going to be the same. Please don't tell me how much extra $ I am making or that so many people are unemployed. I Know that. 11 1/2 hours a day at the office is a very loooong day. I also have an hour and a half commute on each side of that.

I am going to buy a new doll as a reward for myself- yes I am!!

Slot Machines

I love slot machines! I could spend hours on end playing. The problem is they don't like me and I seem to have rotten luck with them. I saw one like this in the casino in our Tahoe hotel, so of course I had to play her. I Dream of Jeannie was one of my favorite shows growing up. This machine, She didn't like me much as expected but she was very nice to Jeff, so it worked out!

A Disaster

This is such an awful thing. How is this ever going to be cleaned up? Why the hell can't we start using other forms of energy. Here in Los Angeles, we love our cars and can't do without them, but the 'cost' is so high, and it is not worth this. 

Why no introduction?

I continue to receive 'friend' requests on Facebook from people that I don't know.  Sometimes we have 'Friends in common' which at least allows me to make a connection of sorts such as knowing they are an artist that works in a genre that I am interested in, and they have realized this based on our mutual friends. Or perhaps we obviously have a similar interest based on our blogs or other social media and I know of them at least. I am usually alright with that. But at least introduce yourself.

Still I don't understand why, if someone doesn't know me, they can't include a little note just saying Hi Wendy I am a friend of so and so He /She has mentioned you, or I follow one of your Blogs or something.  If you can't bother to introduce yourself (which is rude anyway) and I see no connection and I don't know you, I am not going to add you.  I don't make my FB public for this reason.
