scary nursery rhymes

Some nursery rhymes just are frightening as hell. take the one about the poor ladybug:



Ladybug! Ladybug!
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
And your children all gone.


All except one,
And that's little Ann
For she crept under
The frying pan.


Now- how god awful is that nursery rhyme!?Let's re-write that:



Ladybug! Ladybug
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire
and your children are in need
of better parental care!!

Color day

Today was just full of colors. I had a whole Saturday to myself. Morning until early evening. The boys went hiking in Ein Gedi- a national park next to the dead sea- Shanee is in the army- and I was home alone with the kitties. What did i do? you guessed it- work! But it is not work- if I dont do it I go nuts. I physically need to create- today was full of colorful stones. Purples, blues- everything:

Yummy colors, NO?

Holy Cow

Every once in a while, i just say "holy cow"- I know it is ridiculous- like "golly gee" which i never have said in my life, but Holy Cow... well that one just slips out.

And the best "holy cow" moment I ever had was when I said it while walking in Goa, India- then it dawnws upon me- yes- these are HOLY COWS! it was a "duh" moment- sometimes you never stop to think where these expressions come from.

And these cows are everywhere in India- literally in restaurants- walking down the aisles of the 7 eleven equivalent- swear to god. Waiters are running all around the cows- literally tripping over their tails- doesnt someone just want to yell "would someone get that freakin cow out of the restaurant!"

But it never happens, due to the "holy cow" issue.

So... today was a holy cow moment in how much work i got done. i was uber efficient today- not in the droppingn and breaking mode at all. It was a kick ass day.

Here are some photos of the fruits of my labors:

No explanations- I think it is all pretty self explanitory...
