throw from your window your record collection

hit up some good estate sales today with my mom. fruit/vegetable stand, the new westborn [ooo!]. i'm making a roast tonight for terry and i, for the very first time. i'm deadset on redeeming myself after the burnt pork chop incident the other night. tonight is couples get-together. can i call it that? how totally, totally corny. talking about making a roast and couples get-togethers. jesus christ. are we boring or are we normal? laying on the couch watching cops with terry [or listening to him laugh and laugh and laugh at america's funniest home videos for sure] is just about all i need for happiness lately. tomorrow we're volunteering with his job for aids walk in royal oak. passing out waters together to walkers...something about that feels so high school. maybe that's not exactly it. it's something. life is changing, become more seasoned. oh yeah, the seasons...they're changing too. chuck gadica put a "cuddle alert" in effect for all of next week. woo! ha.


a real, genuine cuckoo clock made in germany. it even works.


you have to pull down the weights every day to keep it working. i wonder if the ticking and the "cuckoo-ing" every half an hour will get on anyone's nerves.


look at those babies. they're my absolute new favorite.


i always feel kinda bad for woodland creatures with permanent dirt marks on their forehead.


planter that is the sibling planter of the blue one [pictured below] i picked up at the royal oak garage sale.






i don't think i ever posted pictures of trick dog, the cast iron bank. you put a coin in the dog's mouth, push down a lever on the right and the dog whap! flies through the hoop and places the coin in the barrel.


it's so heavy and the movement so fast that it's quite dangerous.
