I decided to start painting my bedroom after all...Behr Ultra "Sonata"

What you don't see in these photos is that Karma had just peed on my bed again!  ARGH!  I don't know what has gotten into her.  I'm tired from painting for hours, and now have to do loads of laundry.  I had gotten weak and let her back into the bedroom recently.  And, with having to go in and out constantly while painting, I wasn't paying attention and didn't think she'd do anything naughty.  This was truly her last chance.  She is never stepping foot in that bedroom again.

Anyway, I love the color I opted to get from Home Depot.  It's an ice blue and it looks like it's covering a lot better than the deep purple in my bathroom for some reason and I may be able to get away with only one coat.

Spirit face in photo!

I was playing with my new cell phone camera today and was surprised when the side of a face, including large eye, showed up next to my head.

The Wedding

Both beautiful and sad....

 

 

The wedding.



Her name is Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 yrs old. Next to her is her fiancé, Nick, 23.
This picture was taken prior to their wedding January 11th, 2005.
Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours in chemotherapy.
Here Nick awaits while she finishes one of the sessions...


Even in pain and dealing with her organs shutting down, with the help of morphine,
Katie took care of every single part of the wedding planning.
Her dress had to be adjusted several times due to Katie 's constant weight loss.


An expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception.
The other couple in this picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with the wedding and to see their

son marrying the girl he fell in love when he was an adolescent.


Katie , in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her.


In the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath.
The pain does not allow her to stand for long period of time.


Katie died 5 days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile

makes you think... happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts.....
lets enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short.
Work as if it was your first day.
Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries..
Laugh without control
and never stop smiling.

Please pray for those suffering from cancer.
We all have close to our heart.
Keep this going.
Prayers are always answered.

McDonalds needs to be prosecuted!

 
I am so freaking pissed off I hope McDonalds gets its ass sued for this one!  What country am I living in, old communistic Russia from 1962?!  To try to intimidate workers into voting Republican is disgusting.
 
GRRRRRR
