Whirled Peas

Snarky owns several statementy T-shirts that she used to employ to keep her sense of self at the gym. One had a giant, glaring Big Brother (from "1984"), another declared "RACIAL STEREOTYPES DEHUMANIZE" (a gift from her activist brother), and yet another one implored the reader to "Visualize Whirled Peas".

 

Which really has nothing to do with this post, except that Snarky finally managed to download some photos and was thinking along the lines of helping y'all to visualize her life out here in the Pacific Northwest.

 

More to come, eventually.

First, some more house pics!

blurry_finished_floor.jpg

A bad photo of our finished floor upstairs. Also an inkling of our whacky PeeWee color choices.

 

purple_kitty_hutch.jpg

The cats spend most of their day up in the hutch.

 

chaos_living_room.jpg

Meant to give you an idea of the amazing candy-apple-green of the living room. Also our slovenly ways.

And love for Kubrick.

 

... and some travel pics...

spring_water.jpg

One of our recent bike excursions on the Spring Water Corridor Trail. The red speck is The Mister.

 

punchbowl_mural.jpg

A mural by the Devil's Punchbowl on the coast. The poppies are real.

Closeup of the strange sand formations on Hobbit Beach.

This is why the Snarks love the coast.

The Snarky's on the coast! The Mister has sworn to learn how to use the camera. Someday you might actually see more than just Reflected!Snarky.

 

OK... that's it for now. Coming soon: more coastal pics, the IKEA run, and 'maters!

Such bold colors in your place.... I love it.

 

Poppies are among my favorite flowers. I can't wait until I can start planting again. The mural is just breathtaking.

 

My Mr. isn't the best when it comes to taking photos, he still fights it when I ask him to take a shot of me, but he is getting better. I try to look on the bright side, at least with a digital camera I can delete his photos with missing body people and body parts. :rantrave:

OOH, hardwood floors envy! And ocean-y coastline envy! :rantrave:

 

Yay for House of Snark pics! And we've seen more pics of Snarky: Hitler-Bangs Snarky, Snarky Getting Eaten by Giant Tree, Benatar Snarky ...

Every paint sample card the Snarks picked at the store... both of them zeroed in on the most saturated chip. That's just how they roll.

 

Snarky has a vast array of "myspace"-esque self-portraiture. Anything done by The Mister is usually in nature and at a great distance (as if Snarky were a deer, perhaps?) Not sure why that is. :lol:

Snarky completely forgot about those pics! All hair pics are self-portraits, but The Mister did do the Ent-Snack-Snark one. True. Snarky must give him photog props for that one.

I absolutely LOVE the last picture. There's something about pictures of reflections that just work for me. I don't know how else to explain it. But, yeah. Especially with the ocean in the background. . . I need to get back to the coast.

 

I'm also having hardwood floor envy! That is just brilliant.

Snarky is a big fan of the picture within a picture thing too (not to mention the whole inverted image thing what with our funky eyeballs and all that).

 

Everytime the Snarks go to the coast, they feel at home and wonder why they stayed away for so long.

 

The Snarks feel like they lucked out with the hardwood floors. Snarky developed adult-onset allergies within the last six years and almost needs hardwoods as a medical necessity. They are also pretty. And slippy. Finally: tumblecats are easier to clean up, though sort of creppy given a light breeze and poor lighting.
