Star spangled spectacular

I'm home, tired, but home. Four days from home feels like a lot, and the swimming with the sun with the family can leave a body longing for a familiar bed.

The night before we all got home, our youngest cat got out. He was out all night and just got back an hour ago, he has got a few war wounds and is covered with sap. You can't wash it off and he has given up licking it off, so now one of the older sisters is stuck slowly brushing it off. Thankfully the younger cat likes being brushed more than the older one, and the younger one seems OK with it all.

Anyway, here is my 4th of July outfit, red, white, blue and all.

If you can't trust a guy named Buddha, who can you trust.

Here are the picture from my 4th of July weekend.
While in Iowa I went to an Asian market and got some of my favorite food from Thailand. My mother's and father's side were there this year, so we got some time with the cousin. Finally we went to the park, went to the lake, watched the fireworks (on the 3rd instead of the 4th cause they wanted to do it on the weekend), and then went to a parade on the 4th.

Does everything need a tittle?

I and most of the fam are down in Iowa for the 4th of July. I came came down with the first batch of members.

I've taken of good pictures, but it's getting late.
So here is a quick style post.

We all stopped by a the Goodwill in town, and the brother bought a pair of suspenders.

Pretty snazzy if you ask me

You are what you eat.

I've been putting more into my breakfasts lately. Mostly because it is summer and the easy food gets eaten up too quickly, and so I am forced to be a little imaginative in the morning.

One of my frequent breakfast choices is what I call "Mexican Morning Rice." It is rice (this rice already had cilantro but it's not necessary), black beans, cheese, salsa, and a fried egg. Heat the rice, then add everything but the egg. Fry the egg and add on top.

It's a filling breakfast if I do say so myself.

What he do shawty

What to do with an old men's dress shirt? Well, I can tink of three things.

I didn't realize how much I was using an old shirt of mine until I looked through my pictures.

The headband came from my own head. The wallet and apron came from Sewing Green by Betz White.

The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one.

My parents are two of the most amazing people I know. They are smart, hardworking, and loving. And I am direct product of their grate parenting skills. This awesome, gorgeous, witty, humble person you are reading now is because of them.
