Mostly Absent Mostly This Week
Fabiola is going to be mostly absent, mostly, this week. Fabiola is off to a part of Fabiola world with questionable connections and limited time for talking to you. Fabiola will return in a week or less.
Because it is Now Summer!!

Hello Summer!
Fabiola wishes you all a delightful first day of summer!
Oh! Fabiola stumbled across this blog "an udge and a wink" -- Fabiola has developed a tiny crush.
Hunting The Wild Strawberry



Extending a Theme ...
I, Fabiola am taking a notion and running with it. Notion as in half-baked thought, no, not even that refined. Notion more like that painted cat that a gal could just swear she saw for just a flash right round the corner of her eye, but then when she turns to take a good look ... no painted cat.
Where was Fabiola? Oh. Dear, dear Anony has gone and replaced sugarplums with roller skating pigs in whatever vision Anony is currently having. (If, just possibly, those visions are being caused by something other than a very early Christmas spirit, something like, oh, perhaps, an acid flash-back of some sort, leave Fabiola outa the loop on that one, please dear Anony. Fabiola seems to be living in one of her own and ... )
Twice now in one post. Must have overdone the hairspray this morning.
Regardless, sugarplums and roller skating pigs took Fabiola to ice skating penguins. And there she leaves you for the day.
PS - gotta read the comments on this and the previous post to understand why pigs-n-penguins are skating together. Fabiola world spins slightly faster than the real one.
It Wasn't As If Roller Skating Pigs Were Ever In Short Supply

Rotary Phones and Party Lines to ...

More recently, what with the zippy-zappy internet an all, Fabiola's only connection option, dial-up has not delighted her in any way. What with downloading a single song requiring 20 minutes AND an Act of God, Fabiola feared that she was not getting everything out of the internet experience that she could.
Fabiola just the other day got access to high speed. Videos actually play when Fabiola clicks the button, instead of blip-blurb ... wait wait wait, blip-blurb, wait wait wait, dramatic silence, crash, disconnect, give up on looking at the roller skating pigs or whatever.
Fabiola danced with delight. No, really, she did. Fabiola also composed this post in minutes that can be counted on the fingers of one hand instead of the ones on half a clock.
Did Fabiola mention that she danced with delight?

Busy Busy Days!
I've Looked At Clouds ...

There is a great story behind the bad decorator, but even Fabiola can't go into that now. -- Stencilled picket fences and bird houses over marble floors -- no, Fabiola can't bear to tell that story, because she isn't drinking tonight. One of these evenings, Fabiola will get into the single malt then bessie bolt the door.
Regardless.
Mary used a similar method to the one she used in her "Homage To A Floor" only she limited herself to blue and cloud colors.

The Great Sock Dilemma ...

Granted, even Fabiola has to admit that sock designs are easier to choose when a gal can actually see them. But rolled socks take up less room. Fabiola, being always resourcefully, has compromised flat socks go in the drawer, rolled socks when the travel in a suitcase.
Other views kinda-sorts connected to socks.
Should he be a sock designer?

What is The Thing With Paper Towels?

While she is wondering, Fabiola wonders why, if the designers want to make designed paper towels, they don't make the designs big enough to stand out? Tiny pastel prints, may as well not be there at all, in Fabiola's mind. Fabiola usually buys plain white, in case you were wondering.
