Happy New Year 2012 & Finale HNT

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! Allow me to introduce myself, it's me, Susie. I am one of the "old HNTers". I haven't HNT'd in years! I'm back to say thank you OS for a boatload of fun, I really mean it! HNT was always my favorite part of the blogging week!

Now, I really gotta get busy here, because well......

....to be frank, I am right in the middle of packing for India.
You know, bubble wrap is very important when you have to pack a lot of stuff....

... but sometimes can be so gosh darned awkward!

I never travel without it.


I go to India every year for practically a month, ya know, and I take this packing seriously! Besides, I've got a lot of fragile stuff to take with me this year...

Happy New Year HNT!


So, back in the day I couldn't wait for Thursday so I could post this weeks HNT blog creation. Then Thursday gave way to Wednesday night, when Os had to put a 9 pm deadline on posting the IM UP message on his blog. It was really cool to be able to share the creativity, to link to other bloggers, to get to know other HNTers. We really had a good time, and I have made some permanent friends from the experience.
If you want to check out some of my old HNT's they are on the sidebar over there. Expect zaniness, not mega sexy, ok? Go ahead and take a peek, it'll be fun, I promise.
Finally thank you Scott, for supporting years of togetherness, 2D style!
Whoever thunk it?
So, if you are reading this around New Years, I am in India right now. I will be sure to have an ice cold Kingfisher on the beach for you, after my dip in the Arabian Sea!
Happy Half Nekkid Thursday forever!

Ah Sweet Dancer

The girl goes dancing there
On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth
Grass plot of the garden;
Escaped from bitter youth,
Escaped out of her crowd,
Or out of her black cloud.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!

If strange men come from the house
To lead her away, do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead them gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.

Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!

Michelle in Seattle ...now who's the freak in the box?

As my three readers already know, I just went to Seattle in July! But when Michelle got a hold of a free plane ticket to anywhere in the USA, it was clear that she had to choose Seattle, because Heather lives there too! So, off I went again, and as you can see, here are Michelle, Heather and I relating to each other like we always have. Hmmn, awkward?

So then we decided to check out the view from my bedroom window of our 3 room suite! Not bad, eh?

Then we decided to put away those computers and have a little liquid refreshment.

Wow, girls, did I mention the view from my bedroom window?

Of course, the mandatory pig at Pikes shot! Fish were also shoved into the face of Michelle, who was more than a good sport. Anyone get a shot of that?

I am NOT Gnomie Gnomington! I am NOT!

We visited the sculpture park on the waterfront during a fricking wind and rain storm. Good thing I had my on long sleeve tie dyed shirt that Lime made for me!

So that's how she does it!The view from our other room.....ack!
We took the monorail to the Needle...
Freaks on the Monorail

Logo falls down and Michelle climbs on dangerous stuff after sniffing too much from that bag on the ground there. JUST KIDDING!!! Sometimes you gotta work hard to get a shot like this one down below.....

I like this shot because our hair mixed together and it looks like her hair is mine. Goodness knows, she has enough to spare! Now, if you wanna see more, you have to check out Michelle's blog because she took lots more pictures than I did!

RIP Amy Winehouse

..and life is like a pipe, and I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside....

Dear Amy,
You will live on in your music. I am sorry you lost your fight. You were just a lovely young woman trying to make it in a harsh world. Thank you for all that you have shared with us, thank you for sharing your passion, your heart and soul through your music. You were an artist who has left behind beauty that can never be lost. You will be missed, child. Fly away free now, Amy dear.


PS Tell Jimi I said hi.

I just had to prove that I could.

I wish I had a hat like the rest of them!

Speedy Movie Review

This film is very special. I highly recommend it.
Have a lovely day.

Remembering Melanie

Thank you, Melanie - thanks for connecting, and thanks for enriching my life. May you rest in peace. May your dear friends and family find peace and comfort in all of the memories you gave them. And thank you for touching my life - there was nothing virtual about the way you enriched my life.

Thank you, Mark, for having the words to say that do not come easy for some. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Mrs. Nesbitt, You Will Be Missed ♥

Lately, I have been absolutely impressed and fullfilled by the response of our online community when another blogger was in financial need for medical bills. Many of us who have never met in real life, banded together and raised 1,500.00 for our dear online friend. I am so touched, and thank you all who responded either with cash, or support in other ways. We have really made a difference to someone we have never met in real life, but have come to really care about.
Now today, I have learned that we have lost one of our own, our Stealth Bombshell, our Melanie, and my Mrs. Nesbitt. Melanie and I had a long time running joke about meeting one day to have darjeeling together....we called each other Mrs. Nesbitt. We would go on and on about that scene in Toy Story where Buzz becomes punch drunk on tea after failing at his super hero skills.
Melanie, you were a super hero, a super mom, a super friend, a lovely spirit, a beautiful soul, and you will be missed. I do not know how your short life ended, but I know I will remember you.
Love you, Mrs. Nesbitt, get the darjeeling ready, I'll meet you in heaven one day, and we will finally have tea. Rest well.
♥♥
Melanie
