Photo Meme Part 1

Hello all! Well, I would have posted this yesterday but I was plagued by a lovely sun-rash and had to go to the Dr and get some percriptions to make it go away. Never had a sun rash (or any rash) before. Here is a close up pic of the side of my abdomin where you can see (aren't you glad!). This was taken last night when the redness was actually down a bit from previously. I am taking Zyrtec and Prednizone to help clear it up. Dr. said it most likely was the sun mixed wtih tanning oil etc etc that made the more sensitive parts of me break out. (underside of my arms and abdomin) It itches like crazy and stings at the same time and it is driving me crazy, but in order to try and ignore it I took some pics to post for the photo meme.
My rash...how lovely. Headed to Myrtle beach for a week in about 10 days...let's hope we don't see a relapse. I threw out the bottle of tanning oil...it was probably the culprit since it was about 3 or 4 years old. I know, stupid on my part right? I didn't realize it until I started thinking about it. Yikes! On with the meme now!

Firstly, Bad Girl asked about a mug collection. I have a bunch of mugs that I thought I would post which are my favorites.
At the top of the pyramid is Skully or "Barbossa" as I began calling him after POTC1. I got him at a seafood restaurant where you get the mug for free when you order the drink. A rum cocoction of course! Arrgh! On the next row is my Carol Mug: Tells that Carol means melody or song and has a little rhyme about it. Next to that is my Rennaisance Faire Mug from the Sterling Ren Faire in Sterling NY. I go almost every year and it is so much fun! On the bottom row starting from left is a mug I got Senior Year from my voice/theatre teacher Mr. Reynolds. It's a bunch of sheep in a jazz group and it says "Let's play some Bee-Bah" haha. Batman Returns is next and finally Mickey thru the years starting with Steamboat Willie and ending with Fantasia Micky.


Amy wanted to see my living room or bedroom to see my decorating style...well my living room is decorated and furnished by my roomate so I picked my bedroom. I do have some things on the wall, but as a cohesive decorated area it isn't much. I tend to not decorate if I feel I am not long for a place (which is evry palce so far) So here is a pic of my favorite part of my room, my bookcase (which is overflowing to the floor next to it as you can see) with my Egypt books and nicknacks and pirate and castle books etc. The picture on the wall above the bookcase is from of Great Great Uncle and Aunt who traveled the world. They are seen on camels with their local guides, posing in front of the great pyramids and Sphinx in Egypt circa 1932. My mother gave me the photo album of their adventures after my Grandmother passed away. They traveled all over Europe and Africa and their pictures are amazing.

My bedroom is a mess so I took a quick pic of my bed sorta made so you could see my color scheme. Purple and greens. When I find a place I can truly call home I will decorate in a Morraccan type style using ruby reds, greens, purple and browns. Rich colors and I go all out. I will have room to spread out and not be so cluttered too.



Finally, Beth asked for a pic of the Giant Underpants. To explain this one, my friend Deidre and I in College rented a DVD of Pee-Wee's Playhouse to watch one rainy afternoon. One of the episodes (second season) was "Pee-Wee Catches a Cold" where he has to stay home and rest b.c he is ill. Well, Pee-Wee just wants to play as usual so he looks for things around the playhouse to play and imagine with and finds a pair of GIANT UNDERPANTS! He puts them on his head like a turbin, then like long hair and calls himself Repunzel. He also makes a swing and a suave vest out of the underpants. Then he yells "GIANT UNDERPANTS!! The Possibilities are endless!!!" We died laughing and the joke has survived and grown since then! Deidre sent me a pair for Christmas a few years later and I have sent them as surprise packages to people in the past! Too much fun! The possibilities ARE endless!! There is also a Piehole portion of the story too but I best keep that under wraps until a future post!
