Fashion Friday
You know, I didn't have much hopes for Fashion Friday this week. It started out wet and rainy, and I'm still protesting this by wearing jeans. On Monday, I added my favorite heart necklace (I love John!) and glitter headband. Note the dreary and dark morning behind me. boo.
On Tuesday, I hoped for a spot of sun and did a brown and black combo since bright spring color will hopefully soon take over my wardrobe. I added the animal print hat (John said "There's a cat on your head...") and killerly awesome giant necklace. I stood by one of my "flower" patches for color.
On Thursday, the photo is not about me, but my friend Kate. I got to work that day and she informed me that when she got ready that morning, she thought it was a good "Shannon" outfit. Coincidentally, fellow fashionista Sarah (not available for photo) said she was wearing a "Shannon" outfit that day too! Oddly enough, I didn't feel much like myself that day, so I'm glad my friends did it for me.

Crafty Kitties
Our kitties have a plethora of toys to keep them entertained. I try to pick the most fun toys I can imagine. They have feathers and bells and catnip. One even has blinking lights! What are you looking at, Toki?
Oh, it's Pickles. ..chasing a rogue glue stick.
Get it!
Apparently, I don't need to try so hard to impress them.

Sunny Saturday!
After our rock and roll adventure on Friday night, John and I woke up Saturday with a plan! We borrowed our friend Jason's truck and went to Home Depot for some supplies and came home and John built this flower box for our lone rogue tulip.
I am so super excited about it. When we moved in, we did a total overhaul on the yard and tore out almost everything (seriously, it was bad). John built a fence and a motorcycle shed and we made an adorable garden box out of leftover wood. After a few summers of BBQs and hanging out there, we kind of lost interest. This is probably about the same time we got the big motorcycle. just sayin... priorities. On that topic, I decided this year we couldn't take a weekend motorcycle trip until we got our yard presentable. Our yard has been in a state of disrepair for a couple summers and the original garden box was built with non-weather proof wood and finally just kind of disintegrated. Last year, I hired a major spring cleanup and I did fall cleanup on some of the most crucial overgrown items. Last weekend I chopped down the bamboo that was growing out of this box area. I took out all the big weeds and while John was building the box, I hit the main sections to get all the small weeds, fluff up the bark chips, and John dug up most of the bamboo roots. Finally, I added a few more plants and the next day scattered a bunch of seeds. At the end of our sunny day, we sat out there and had a beer.

Rock and Roll
On Friday night my favorite rock star, Eddie Spaghetti, had a show in our neighborhood bar. He can fill much larger locations, so we were thrilled that he was coming to this little venue. We put on our concert duds and headed out for some music...
We went super early because we knew that the tiny bar would get packed. When we walked in the door,the first person we saw was Eddie himself! Hi Eddie!
Obligatory photos to add to the many I have from years past.
The first two acts were fantastic and we rocked out at the front of the stage all night.
rock and roll, bitches.

Fashion Friday
I objected to the gray spring weather by wearing jeans all week.. I have to admit it was almost worth the chilly weather to get to wear this giant, super soft sweater. I bought it a couple months ago and this was it's maiden voyage. It's kind of like wearing a blanket and I love it. I paired with with the standard Shannon look of a tank, belt and jeans. To give it some flair, I rocked my current favorite flying saucer ring and a giant necklace. The necklace is really an old belt of my grandma's, but I prefer it looped around my neck rather than my waist.
I think it's kind of funny how the combo of pose, hair and sweater in this picture makes me look like I'm rocking Crystal Gayle hair :)
