Life is good

Sometimes you just want to take your teddy bear into the pool and drift away from all your troubles.

Awesome because...

This is officially awesome because (1) I love the exploration of space and (2) animals (did you know that?). Tx @tasha.hanna The Official NASA Portrait for Astronaut Leland Melvin Includes His Rescued Dogs

Invisible girl


I tried not being on Facebook and turn my focus on my blog, http://girlladyfriend.blogspot.com/, with links on Twitter and Facebook. I was getting wrapped up in the "news" (some real, some about cute pets) people were sharing and not paying attention to the outside world and my thoughts.

I lasted about three weeks. Not bad, I think.

I am still not on Facebook a lot.

However, I've been watching a lot of crime dramas, especially ones where there are cyber crimes (e.g., CSI: Cyber [horrible, but I'll watch anything], Scorpion). And FB is watching. So is Google. Everyone really is watching. It's impossible not to be followed. I have become a bit paranoid about it all because I was one of the people in the Anthem hack (I feel like everyone I know was on the Anthem list). I also know someone whose SSN was used and the hackers/thieves submitted a tax return in their name. 

First, that's horrible. Second, why submit a return? Like they are going to get THAT much money back? I just do not understand it.

So, now I am trying to mellow out about Big Brother watching. It's inevitable. 

That being said, if you don't hear from me on FB, don't feel ignored. It's because I am hiding in my post-war bunker.

Yay - More "name" Coca Cola bottles!





















The Coke bottles with names are coming back and they are adding more names, which I learned from Ad Age. This is one brilliant campaign. I definitely increased my soda intake (which was non-existent) just because my name or someone else's was on the bottle. I am so influenced by advertising. It's a good thing I don't have cable.

My red lamp

Because there is no natural light in my office I bought this lamp at Goodwill.



Little did I know it's a part of the TV show Elementary's set.

Do we have good taste? Why yes, yes we do.

Bedtime

Nomi is now more than 4 and she has turned into an old lady. When it gets close to 11 pm, she goes straight to my bed. I'm never there. She just goes straight to the bed and waits for me to join her. I think now my bed is her bed. And I'm just allowed to sleep there.
