since we're all getting to know each other here, i thought i would post a picture i took while on the ferry going from vancouver, bc to the sunshine coast, where i live.  as you can see, sometimes i spend my winters on the un-shine coast.   where are you living? what kind of winter are you having?

meet Lorijah. we call him Loji.  i have to keep him caged up because his cuteness just might take over the world. he is my imaginationary deluxoid. i can't stop taking pictures of him. he does a lot of art, cooking, crafting, and playing with me, so you'll see a lot of him here.  

what's really goin on in this pic is that I walked into the room not noticing he had somehow got himself into my favorite birdcage (i have a bunch, yes) until he started chirping.  he then said, "mommy, pretend you are in the pet shop and you are looking for the cutest bird you ever saw!" true story.

today is international Random Acts of Kindness Day!! yay! just kidding...everyday is random acts of kindness day silly head!  in the spirit of valentines day month (like that? just made that up. i think),  i am now triple dog daring you to perform a random act of kindness today.  

this sweet tin was dropped off to me at home by my friend Weezie.  when i opened the lid, i almost cried.  the sweetest most fragrant woft of wild roses filled my nose and tear ducts or something...yeah..that was it..sniff sniff.  anyway, it was all her fault! so thoughtful.  the details! the heart shaped rock? c'mon!  almost got a cavity from the sweetness.  

now it's your turn!!  take a picture of a random act of kindness and post it to my Martha Starfish fb page!!  

oh, here's another picture.  i came back to my car one morning to a beautiful rose tucked into the wiper blade of my mini, Winne Cooper.  it drove me crazy not knowing who did it, but i loved the mystery of it all.  go team awesome!
