Gift It Forward

I saw a post on one of my friend's blogs. I'm not sure if I made her cut, but I thought I'd extend the offer to any blog readers that I have left. Here's the same post verbatim:

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be wood. Possibly metal. Perhaps a picture. Or I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well. We all can make stuff.

Let me know if you're interested! =)

The Awesomeness That Is "LOST"

Image via WikipediaBarring a few episodes from season 3, Lost continues to be a riveting show. I forgot how frustrating it gets to have to wait a whole week for a new episode though.

I'm so excited that the new season FINALLY started and can't wait until next week. Yay!

Here, There and Everywhere (Well...Mostly California)

After much deliberation (again), I finally settled on 10 Places To Visit. Of course...half of this list is different from what I originally had, before my computer decided to reboot itself. Ah well...

Channel Islands
The Cloisters
Descanso Gardens
Joshua Tree
Long Beach Museum of Art
MOCA
Museum of Tolerance
Redwood National and State Parks
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library
Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary

List? What List?

So it's now seven days into the new year...and still no 101 in 1001 list. What happened?

I fell victim to the generic problem with computers. My computer decided to reboot without provocation...and I hadn't saved what I was working on. In this case...it was the remainder of my 101 list. Shame on me for filling out my list in a text pad application instead on something with an auto-save or auto-restore feature.

While I try to remember most of my entries, here's what I think I had for my 10 cities to visit:

Birmingham, Alabama
Charleston, South Carolina
Lake Havasu City, Arizona
London, England
New Orleans, Louisiana
Paris, France
Sydney, Australia
Taos, New Mexico
Temecula, California
Yuba City, California
