So we had an interesting weekend over here in HB. First of all, we may be involved in something very bad, that has to do with some sleezy people defrauding seniors. You can bet that I am going after these awful people with both guns blazing. More to follow. Other than that nasty business, we also had some progress on the home front. First of all, we donated our 1979 VW van to Cars for Causes. I think it may have been kinda traumatic for Doc. Here he is, being comforted by Elli while waiting for the car tow company.
Well, that ended up with Elli falling asleep and sunbathing her pathetic little belly.
So this is how it looked when the good old bus was up on the trailer.
We had a lot of fun in that bus. I will miss it, and I know Doc will miss it even more. But it died, more than once, and could no longer be resuscitated without major effort, time, and $$$$$. So, since the Bus is no longer living in the driveway, we have a new tenant.
My car gets the prime spot. This is The Silver Fox (AKA Silvy), my Cadillac CTS. He lives there now. Before, he kinda bounced into whatever parking spot was available, but now he has a home of his own.
So that was bittersweet, but this morning started out better. First, Doc made a delicious gigantic omelet -eggs, cheese, chorizo, and many many veggies. We had sliced avocado and sour cream to put on the top. Doc is like most men - he makes a killer breakfast, but the more delicate jobs like cake and dinner are best left to me.
The other weird thing is what happened this afternoon. We went down to the beach to look at the crowds that were there for the World Series of Surfing. I love to people watch. A major event like this has awesome people watching potential. Last year,a lot of people from out of town came, and there ended up being a riot, and some stores got damaged. One day, on my way to art class, I stopped and made a donation to help out a bicycle shop in downtown HB that sustained a lot of damage from the meelee. This year, the crowd seemed mellower, and the police were out in visible force. I hope there is not a repeat of that disaster. Then, there was an alert on the TV from the National Weather Service, saying that there would be a flash flood warning in the county that is inland to us (Riverside). This is what the clouds looked like here in HB at the time. And then, this morning, it was sprinkling (we are having extreme drought here, so that's good - look how brown the lawn is.) And a poor 20 year old man was struck by lightning and killed in Venice Beach. So sad.

So we had a weird, humid weekend that wasn't all that relaxing. Onto better things, like Visible Monday. This is hosted by Patti at www.notdeadyetstye.com. She is so pretty, that I'll bet she is always visible. As far as I go, this is what I decided to wear today.
You have already seen these printed pants, previously referred to as the "growing pants", since they stretch and grow once I put them on. I have a weird figure - I carry all my weight in my lower body, like a lot of women. But my waist is disproportionately smaller. So I have a tough time finding pants that fit well. The best one I have found are Levi's Extra Curvy, but I can't wear jeans to work. Here is a closeup of the print on the pants - they are really cute.
Today, I went with my Vince Camuto shoes.
For accessories, I wore my black coral necklace. The top I am wearing is by Joseph A. It is a thick knit with a lot of spandex. In this shot, you can also see the rectangular sequins that trim the V yoke.
On second thought, the necklace doesn't really work with this top. It hits at the wrong point. I'll do better next time. As for my arms, I think you have already seen everything, but we will recap.
On my right arm, a diamond and sapphire ring and two gold bracelets. On my left, a gold and diamond dust bangle and my YSL Arty in lapis.
So that's about all for today - have a good (visible)Monday!!!
