How Chaz flew ~

Posted on January 23, 2010 by K

My Chaz.  This was one fab outfit.  Sadly, I didn’t shoot the hat by itself.  It’s incredible. I’ll put up more a little later.  We’re missing the boots, here. Not the way I fly.  I prefer pajamas.

Viva la

Forget Balance

Posted on January 20, 2010 by K

I went to Costco today and bought only the thing I went there to buy.  (Puppy food) I want a prize.  A great big, first time prize. When I came home, G said, “And did you remember the toilet paper?” … Continue reading →

Ahhh-balance~

Posted on January 17, 2010 by K

I wore you out last week.  Which is too bad, because I really liked my large person last one, and only a very brave and patient die-hard few stuck around for the finale.  My bad.  So I am rounding up … Continue reading →

Fat headed

Posted on January 13, 2010 by K
