Closet disaster and makeover

So any of you that are on FB know that my closet broke last week. It snapped in the middle of the night and scared me half to death. It was terrifying, and sent a shower of shoes flying all over.
Here is the carnage:

So the pole separated from the wall on the left.

It warped the shelf above which is what sent my shoes flying.
Can you see where the pole used to connect? It’s a brown circle, not too easy to spot.
So I took everything out of the closet. This was NOT easy.
J replaced the pole with two metal poles anchored by a nice piece of melamine in the middle. I am going to say that this was easy, mainly because J doesn’t read this blog. 🙂 
[evil laugh]
Then I proceeded to put everything back. Also NOT easy.
Now I have what J calls “OCD” shoe boxes. I plan on photographing my shoes and affixing a picture of each pair on the box it is in; it was Nora’s brilliant idea and I love it!
J also teased me about my hat collection. Umm skin cancer is not hot, okay?

The Tour of California

We went up to Big Bear for the Tour of California (it’s basically like the Tour de France for the US). We got to ride the last few miles of the course and then watch them race up to the finish line. I selected two weird pictures (sure you thought you’d get bike riders, I’m giving you a gorilla in a jersey and a helicopter).
Helicopters=cool.
Then we enjoyed winter all over again on the way home in terms of snow.

And more snow…

Desktop Background Image

A new, and less feminine, desktop background…

By the way, if you are unfamiliar with this image, it’s the big orange balloon of Orange County in front of the sun. (Don’t get my dad started on what this balloon represents).

Again, click on it to make it larger, then right-click and select “set as desktop background.”

Desktop Screensavers for you!

Feeling in a spring-like (should I be feeling summer-like now?) mood, I decided to make some pretty desktop backgrounds for all of you. All you need to do is click on the image so it appears much larger and fills your screen, then right-click and select “Set as Desktop Background.” There are two to choose from:

Ghetto or fabulous?

This pas weekend I had a lot of laundry to do (9 loads!) and a lot of it was mine, and I air-dry a lot of my clothes SO i decided to hang them on a clothesline in the sun. There is some beauty in the order, but it might also be just really ridiculous.

WTF moment

See the grey-haired man at the front of the line in this picture? He may seem to be wearing baggy jeans shorts, but he’s not. It’s a denim kilt. A DENIM KILT.

WTF?!

I guess this is what I get for going to Coldstone on a Sunday night. What kind of occasion do you think calls for a denim kilt?
