Rainbows

It was kind of rainy yesterday. In the evening it's usually pretty bright out on a good day. Yesterday, it decided to get really dark out of nowhere and I had to actually turn the light on in the living room.

Then it got bright again.

A little bit later, part of the sky was dark and just a little line was really bright.

Kind of weird.

But I did get to see a rainbow. And when I was admiring it and snapping some shots, I noticed there was another rainbow forming to the right of it.

These pictures don't do what they sky looked like justice. Not even the rainbows.

Which brings me to the fact that I need want a new camera.

But that's a whole 'nother issue in itself. :-)

See the line of lightness right above the trees? Now imagine it a little bit darker outside, above that. That's what it really looked like.

I just thought this was a neat picture. The darkness with a bit of the rainbow.

Marilyn Monroe

I HEART HER

If you hadn't noticed my main piccy on here...

I love Marilyn Monroe! Don't ask me why, I could not tell you!

I think the obsession began like a year or two ago. I think she is

so gorgeous. Especially in the photos where she doesn't have

much make up on, and she looks naturally beautiful. The one thing

that bugs me is, that Anna Nicole Smith has been compared to her.

That kind of turns me off of the whole thing. I dislike Anna Nicole, don't

ask me why on that one either!

I got this book for Christmas last year, from wonderful gal. My most

favorite part of this book are all the photos in there. They have some

of the most beautiful pics of her, just breathtaking!

Style 101

We had my family's 'Chrismas Eve Seafood Supper' a few days early. We went to my brother and SIL's house yesterday and had the most yummy-est food! My Nonni (grandma in italian) cooked Zuppa de pesce (I think that is spelled right...possibly not though). It is pasta with tomato sauce and any kind of seafood you can think of in there! Oh my mouth is watering while we speak. Anywho...back to the topic at hand. My bro and SIL got me this book. I glanced through the index after I opened it and then started looking through it when I got home. I have got to say I LOVE IT! You know when you are reading a magazine and find a little tid-bit that you want to clip out and save because it is the perfect little tip you've been awaiting, but you just know it will sit around, get lost and you will eventually end up losing it? Well, this book is ALL of those tips chalked into one...and it's gotta be hard to lose...I mean come on people...IT''S A BOOK! It has HOW TO beauty (find a signature scent, eat right for your skin), HOW TO fashion (make your shoes last, buy a winter coat), HOW TO home (arrange flowers, create a five-star bed), HOW TO entertaining (decipher a dress code, look better in photos). How AMAZING is all of that, and let me tell you...there is TONS more in there! It's like a reference book for style! Needless to say, I just love the book/gift and will be reading it and marking it for things that I will be doing in the future!
