Hello heloooo!
I can’t begin to tell you what I have been up to. I have been sooo crazed.
Last couple weeks.
Working on something I wanted to share Wednesday.
Then it was Thursday.
Now Friday.
And still, I am not done.
Phew.
The studio is crazy explosive.
See behind me?
Crazy lady hovel.
My desk looks like a tasmanian devil came through it.
I am in the endless computer hours stage of attempting to create something.
Editing pictures, endless hours.
Stuffing jewels here and there.
Waaaaay tooooo much tea.
I make it very weak.
But still.
So much tea for one girl.
I hope to be done in about a day, so I can finally come back and share.
For now I have a perpetual gone loony face on.
Twisted eyes, vacant stare.
Crazy crazy.
I thought that loony girl face on me was so funny.
It was unintentional, so it must be true.
Because it is exactly how I feel.
Is it looney or loony?
The only thing that has gotten me through focusing and working on projects diligently.
3 song dance parties, 3 times a day.
Like heart pumping madly, outrageous energizing.
Jumping, moving, out of control.
Only, truthfully, you might find me blaring one song obsessively, on repeat.
Because when that 1:00 minute mark comes on, I go out of my head.
I even had Mister Lovee jumping around at 10 p.m.
Old Jazzercise moves come in handy 🙂
I even put on some old heels to bop around in.
They are falling apart.
Poor things.
And I am clashing prints.
But hey.
Everyone needs a loony week.
Or two.
Or three.
Or 4.
🙂
As for wigs.
OH MY!
I love that so many of you are wig lovers!!
I’ll tell you my childhood wig tales some time 😉
Let’s see.
Two numbers.
Random Number Generator.
$60 store credit goes to….
#71
Wooo hoo!
And, $25 goes to….
#79
Yay, so happy for you gals!
E-mail me, and I will get you all squared away.
Okay, off I go.
Florence Welch calling.
See you soon, with hopefully, a finished project.
Looove, V
ps: Make sure you get up and dance today, okay?
Even if you don’t dance in public.
You must dance in private.
You simply must.
I can’t wait to see what you’ve been doing that’s making you so loony. =)
Ohhh, congrats to the wig winners! How exciting.
I don’t know if I’ll dance much today, but I danced up a whirlwind last night. I went to see Epica at the House of Blues in San Diego and it was fun! It’s been years since I’ve been in the pit. I even got my foot stepped on by a big guy running around the circle pit! Yay! So so so much fun. Dancing and screaming and clapping! I love a good concert.
Can’t wait to see what you’re working on!

I am so very happy for the ones who won the gift cards….congrats.
Yes, I’ve danced today…it reached 50 today and the sun is shinning brightly. Now that is a good reason to dance and sing. Remember your quote, We are all mad here?
The same goes, We are all loony! We have to be, It is what makes the world a better place, it makes things more interesting.
I can’t wait to see what you are up to..I’m having a hard time coming up with something to blog about…..Help!
Your posts make me smile, thank you.
Miss Linda, you are kindred heart!!! Heres to keeping the madness
alive and well 😉 I was just counting 100+ green tomatoes. Autumn is
trying to find us still 🙂
I do understand CRAZY! I have been up to my neck in wonderful crazy goings on…and have not been around visiting in for ever.
happy to catch up a bit!

I love seeing photos of you!!!
Lovely combination of floral stockings and tiger stripe heels! So, my dear, did you have your squeaky white mice dancing with you? Hee! Hee!
I had my first sip of Lady Grey tea at the tea party luncheon on the coast which was two weeks ago. It was love at first sip…not as bold as Earl Grey, and not as bitter as some black teas…it was…just…right. Now I am trying to find Lady Grey tea in our area. Best wishes to the wig winners!!!
And I am in waiting anticipation mode to see what you have been working on.
Ta! Ta!
Miss Teresa,
You can order Twinings Lady Grey online. I do all the time because my
grocer does not carry it.

I get very sick from caffeine, but sometimes, I will have a very weak lady
or earl grey. And make sure I have a lot of water too. I can use one
tea bag several times a day, that is how weak I have to make it. But its
lovely still.
🙂

Lol just yesterday I was stuck in a queue on the way home from work and a Calvin Harris track came on. I was soon doing an energetic shoulder dance, not sure if anybody saw me or not. 😉
Love the flowered stockings with the tiger-stripe hels. Loony is good. Loony is creative! Loon on!
Congrats to the lucky girls!
YOu are just too cute in your prints and heels, jewels and stare….dancing like a lunatic! Love it!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Lovin!!! Yeah! Dance, everyone DANCE!!! I LOVE music, it’s me and MTV1 and sometimes Fuse? I think it is and they play Best videos and I’m
dancing but I want to dance more and more!!! Got to get more disciplined and
organized!! I can just seeeeeeeeeeee YOU in those sweet tiger striped heels and flowered stockings kicking your heels up!! hehe Do Miles and Matty join in the EXCITEMENTwith Mr. Lovee and YOU too or is that just too much around midnight to get them hyped for a nice sleep? Congrats! to the wig winners!!! Happy Sunday EVERYONE!!!Pss. I’ve got a HIVE problem,hives everywhere but thankfully not causing any breathing problems! they won’t go away, even after the shot and now on that steroid pack + benadryl!! Did YOU get a shot and steroid pack+ benadryl too? How long does it take to kick in, it seemed to do very well after the shot but now it seems to be wearing off and I’m still itchy and welts and hives are still trying to spring up? Hopefully, this steroid pack will kick in and make them go away forever!!!What did YOU do to get rid of them V?!!!
Oh, the hives!!! Dear Cinda, I think of you everyday when I see my
black stuffy bird!!! And I always see my stone heart in the morning
:)))
HIVES!!! AHH , horrible things!!! I had them inside and out,
all over. I went to the emergency room finally after 3 days when they got
deathly bad, and I couldnt get any air. I honestly thought I was going to
die on the way there. I could not get anymore air at all- I was just done
and praying in the car, and everything was tunnel vision technicolor.
They hooked me up, gave me a hearty dose of Epi and Steroids, and some
relaxer drug or something casue I was loopy as heck, haha.
I was there all night, and got much better, and the hives went away, and
they told me to take benadryl and go home, and gave me prescriptions
fortwo epi pens.
Then thenext day the hives came back with a vengeance, so I went back
to the emergency room, they gave me benadryl, and I got even worse.
We found out I was allergic, or reacting,to the benadryl, because I
told the doc that my sister was allergic to it, which she is, so she pulled me
off it right away.
They then gave me Hydroxyzine, and after that it was smooth
sailing. I didnt get more hives – but that steroid pack made me feel so
depressed and awful, I was a wreck the whole 10 days I had to take it. So
if you feel sad and depressed, just know its the steroids.
We never really found out what made me sick, but we think it was the dawn
soap I was putting on the sunflower leaves and then rubbing back and forth with
my bare hands. The dawn was pulling the oil out of the leaves and it was
going into my skin and I reacted to it.
Thats what we think. As I tried all the other things I thought it
was, and nothing.
It could have been a spider too though.
Do you know what caused it for you???
I know for me, no benadryl, and yes Hydroxyzine.
I feel AWFUL for you. I would not wish that on anyone.
So horrible.
HUGE hugs!!
Can’t wait to see what you’ve produced during your loony, looney frenzy! Dance your heart out!
Oh! Thank you so much Miss Vanessa for letting me know about Twinings having Lady Grey tea online. I may be able to see if World Market has it too here in town. My heart will have erratic beats (especially if I drink black tea in the evenings before going to bed)and also if I drink too much tea during the day. I will try making it weaker too.
It’s been a busy weekend! Out of town guests and a funeral for a cousin of my husband’s. Not fun, but necessary.
Hope you have been able to have a creative weekend.
XO
Miss Teresa
Miss Teresa,
Caffeine makes me insane. Huge headaches, itchy, cranky, red patchy
skin. Finally i went to a doctor, and he said, looks like a caffeine
allergy to me.
In fact, I never have enjoyed anything with caffeine, until I started
drinking coffee with Mister lovee, and it was good for a few months – even
though I got splotchy and headachy. But after a couple of years, I was
downright miserable – and I had to get off it.
I can have tea, but I have to dunk the tea bag in really quickly. So
its mostly just hot water with a tiny bit of tea.
I just started trying this last week. So no symptoms yet.
And I have been using one tea bag all day.
Plus drinking water in between.
Its kind of sad that I am so sensitive to things like caffeine and
alcohol. But, my body just doesnt like it. It all makes me so sick,
that I dont even crave it, which is good.
Some herbal teas make me feel sick too, so I just have to test things out
and be careful.
I am a HUGE water drinker though. Lots and lots of water.
OKay, I rattled on enough 😉 Happy day!!

Queenie has been known to bust a move with an office chair happy dance from time to time at the mundane when no one is looking and the big bosses are away ;o) Hang in there sweetie it sounds like the finishing line is quite close with your project. Keep up the great work!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
Had to cancel Thanksgiving plans because the hives still come and go but not as in a vengence now Thank Goodness, going to my dermatologist Friday if they still are
springing up!! Took a nice warm bath today, heavenly with bubbles! hehe My last steroid pill is tomorrow before breakfast so MIRACLES do happen!!! Trying to find out if it’s my thryroid (yellow dye)pill, cut down on adding downy dryer sheets because my Tide already has downy + in it, hopefully V, I’ll get rid of these hives all together tomorrow for a Happy Thanksgiving although it will be happy, we live in the FREE USA after all!(so far) LOVE to YOU and all your sweet readers!!See YOU have been so busy on all that SWEET VV jewelry!!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! and
CAW CAW to that lil crow! hehe
*Laughing* over here as I sip my Lady Grey tea as well…it’s my favorite just after the Harney & Son’s “Paris” tea. Have you had it? It’s divine and the taste is like light Bergamot and smells of flowers…really beautiful. You can find it at Williams & Sonoma, and other cooking stores I’d imagine.
Side note, I love Florence Welch. Her video’s make me sigh, especially “Cosmic Love”. http://youtu.be/2EIeUlvHAiM
Love the flowered stockings with the tiger-stripe hels.
