The D Meme

Because Debs couldn’t resist and cos’ we all have names that begin with the letter ‘D’ – I thought I’d give it a go and see what I could come up with. Diane, Dean, Dana, your turn. : )

Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following. They have to be real places, names, and things. You CAN’T use your name for the boy/girl name. Nothing made up!

Your name: Dawn
Four words: Deadlines, Denial, Dalliances, Disasters
State/country: Doncaster
Boy Name: Dean
Girl Name: Dana
Occupation: Dental surgeon (ihatedentists!)
Something you can wear: Dark browns
Something found in a kitchen: Dirty countertops
Something you shout: Damn, darn, d@ew%Q)EUF
Something you do at school: Doodle on the table, draw, display huge amounts of smarts, develop an aversion to math and mandarin.
Name of an animal: Dinosaurs
Name of a Drink: Dr. Pepper!
Name a Holiday: Dawn’s birthday (which is as big as a dinosaur)
Name a body part: Deltoid (ok, I googled.)

And just in case, Deltoid is:
A thick triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint, used to raise the arm from the side.

Done. harhar. back to work.

remnants and strips of shadows

The idea of family is a funny thing. I learn to forget, sometimes. Today, when I discovered that my cousin started a blog and had our pictures posted, I was ________ . And omg, I look scrawny and tanned in a black polo tshirt and short hair (!!).

Ithink I shall/will never get used to the idea of having the little ones all grownup. In fact, if anything, there will always be this weird need to protect + shelter them. Instinct(iveness)? Protective(ness)? Q.funny, really, if you actually put some thought into it. I’ve not seen them for awhile (messymessy reasons) – a bigfamily is never easy and everyone lugs + pulls + drags their own personal luggage around (i like red ones! and my brown leather vintage piece that i picked up off hobsons in a flea market. harhar) – but they are missed. : )

There is little to say and save and scatter.

So here’s to hoping that we make it through the storm.

On a side note, I reallyreally like this picture of JF and the way the pics look so washed out and slightly exposed. and JF exudes manliness and looks ohsocharismatic (!) + cool in his blue suit.

I am so digging the collar shirts and oldfashioned-ness of it all.

Ooooo.!
