playing catch-up: episode 1

Sometimes a girl just needs a little chocolate therapy - this time in the form of chocolate colored toes - and a good hair day. Just a few of life's simple little things that make me happy. After my previous "I'm feeling very sorry for myself" post, I think I can move on now. So much has happened around here since I stopped actively posting... I'm going to try to do a few catch-up posts to let my readers (I hope I haven't lost *all* of you!) know what's been going on!

GO HART!!!

 High school volleyball season has officially begun for the Mouse, and it has been great to go to his games. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to be out in public while my immune system isn't working. But I have become adept at sneaking in to the Mouse's games and Davy's band's performances. I can't miss seeing my boys :) Besides, look at that Mouse's awesome vertical!!!

He made some great plays and scored some great points during this game. He enjoys the games a lot but can't stand the practices... Can't say I blame him - he has a coach who won't let the boys stop doing drills and running until they start throwing up :/ 

So do you ever get the feeling you're being watched? Davy's kitty is so silly. I was watching TV one night and had that uneasy feeling someone was watching me. Sure enough, I look down the long hallway, and there she is, just sitting there watching me. Plotting, no doubt.

THE CAT CLUB

Davy's band, A Basement Rendezvous (please "like" them on Facebook!), has been performing a lot lately, which is a great thing. Actually, they've been busy doing other fun stuff as well - I'll catch you up on all that in the next post. But here are some phone pix John took of them at all the different places. I like the dark, loungy-looking ones the best  :)

BRAVE NEW WORLD (sans Henry)

GENGHIS COHEN

THE COFFEE HOUSE

THE SILVERLAKE LOUNGE

We're super proud of these guys and their awesomeness. More updates on them forthcoming.

Last but not least, I'll leave you with some flower photos I've been goofing with lately. The spring weather has been just crazy, I know. Even here in southern California, last week it neared 100 degrees every day, and yesterday the rain was coming down in sheets, and freezing cold hail covered everything! (I will take that over 100 degrees, thank you) So many of you have been yearning for signs of spring, so maybe these flowers will help a little :)

  I see you! hehehe :)

I love these teeny daffodils. I can't not think of the talking flowers in

 "Alice in Wonderland" whenever I see daffodils!
