And the Winners Are....

Okay, let's clear one thing up, first: If you expect me to be punctual, even with something as simple as a random drawing, please allow me to disabuse you of the notion! I'm the worst at procratinating/getting distracted.



We have a very good friend who's in town, Nandra (that'd be her in the green in the middle, with the pre-party crew), who turned 50, and who is moving to Dublin, so we had to have a combo bday/going away party for her. And then recuperate from said party.

I even broke out my Hooker Heels for the dancing. You can't tell in the pic, but they're 1) tall, and 2) spikey. I suffered more the next day from those than from any imbibing, I believe. It's been a while since I danced for hours (okay, until sunrise) in heels. Ouch. I remember why it happens infrequently!


That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
Sad to see her go, as she's been a part of our lives for 15+ years now, but I'm happy she decided on Dublin instead of Tokyo (her other option) as I see trips to Ireland in our future! While Tokyo would be interesting, Ireland holds a lot more appeal for me.

Anyways, the winners are (insert drum roll here)...

If y'all will drop me an email with your info, I'll get those in the mail to you!

It looks like we're gearing up for another scorching summer here. Last year we broke all kinds of records, and given that it's in the mid-90's this week (norm is mid-80's), it's not boding well. On the plus side, it means lots of mid-day time spent inside, where I can be in the studio.

There may also be some dancing around to Roisin at some point. (minus heels) It feels like that kind of day.


Hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start!

  5. Yippee!!! So excited -- Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll email you right now, Judah :)
    p.s. looks like a fun, fun party. I so miss my party friends. They live in Atlanta and we don't see each other nearly enough. But when we do, it's like your pictures!

  8. Congrats to the winners!!!!! I still haven't drawn my winner yet so I may snatch the 'Queen of Slackers' award from your gorgeous hands :) I wore stilettos every day for 15 years - gotta love the look they give the calf muscles... now I'm a Doc Martins kinda gal but still, love an excuse to pull out a pair of the black shiny killer stilettos ;)
