It's not everyday you wake up to see Beautiful Flowers in Bloom to set a Great Tone for the Day. So as I acknowledged my great discovery, I felt it right to capture myself in my Natural Habitat.

Everything in this photo has a memory, a story, a reason in my life. The Table itself in my eyes is priceless. It's dated back to the 1950's, and all though it had a price tag just a week ago, it has served us in more ways than one. As our Gaming Table, Waffle Table, Arts & Crafts Table, Writing Table, Reading Table, Tea Table, & Hangout Table. Everything about this Table I Love! It brings Friends, Families, & New Acquaintances Together and it's been doing it for Over 50 Years!

My little Glass Tea Pot was a Birthday Gift from my former future mother in-law Emily. That's a story in itself ;o) I've been a Tea freak for... I'd like to say birth but it's really only been since 2002. To this day, I still have great communication with my former future family, and I'm very blessed that they love me enough to still contribute me into their family as I contribute them to mine. 

I love old, vintage, and retro things. Some to which have followed me in life not knowing that it would one day be considered Vintage or Retro. Like my little McDonald's Batman Forever Mug that I use to sip my Chai in. The movie is HORRIBLE, but I dig the Mug. It's especially perfect for multiple servings so as to be "Lady Like". I actually bought this mug at a Salvation Army a few years back. I'm a sucker for cool cups, I even found a Pac-Mac Cup that I gave to my Boyfriend Joseph, it's his Everyday Cup Now.

Down there below, is also Joseph's "Green Star Wars Light Saber" Spoon. That little Plastic Cereal Spoon is Awesome! I try and use it for EVERYTHING, specifically Tea & Cereal so not quite everything.

My Pink Tank Top, Chai Tea, & iPod are for places I've been through with my Heterosexual Life Mate and Big Sister, Jalon. The Tank Top was originally hers, but after borrowing it for a Hot & Humid outing in Austin, Texas 6th Street on Her Birthday (September), I went ahead and bought her a new unsweaty one. But this Tank always remind me of her & that redicules night. Just like eveything we do together, it's always a blast and never boring even when shopping for tea for the rest of my life, or playing around & comparing eachothers Music & apps on our iPods. She's a great supporter & much more patiente than anyone gives her credit. I'm very grateful!

Lastly, Lilies... specifically these kind of Lilies; always remind me of one of my best friends & also former future sister-inlaw Victoria. Her Best Friend Rocky would always buy her these flowers for her Birthday or Just Because, and when I would visit her she'd proudly display her newly beautiful gift. To see her smile always put a smile on my face and it reminds me of how wonder Rocky was when he was alive. He was very giving and always there for her. A constant reminder that it doesn't matter how big or how small the selfless deed you do for others is, what matters is that you did it "Just Because".
