ugly as...loving it fire surround!

 ...giggle and giggle some more...
...my perfect $3 fire surround bought...because I don't have a fire place...
...and I don't care!
...I can look around my lounge and see what I Love...
...and that, my friend, is the beginning of...
....recognising me and my possibilities..
...acknowledging my passionate self...

...and I feel real again...
...and true to my heart...
...two windows, bought for $1...
...what will I do with them, she asked me...
...oh, something arty farty...
...thought you would, she said...
and I had plans...to 'distress them' as is the fashion...
to break out the beautiful 'bubble' glass and replace it with photos...
to 'shabby chic' them...
but so far, I can't...I just can't, so I've hung them on the hooks that were part of the fire surround...don't know why they were there...or do I...serendipity?  ugly...ugly as... my heart singing...perfect!

ugly as...more technology...please...

maybe not so ugly...

Chanelle dropped my camera and it broke...(ugh)
so we went shopping so that she could replace it...
and long story short..er, we finally engaged a wonderful
salesman in noel leeming who agreed to sell us a camera for an agreed discounted price, choice!
Channy yahoo's because now she's in the market for an ipod, which she wants so she can take pictures in the UK!
Mum, that's me, directs salesman #8436 to either sell her one at a good price...or (tongue in cheek) talk her out of buying one!  Salesman #8436 actually talks her out of buying one!!!! (NO WAY!) Yes, Way!  Channy, a bit confused with all this, does what any one would do, pulls out her phone and pretends that she has just received a text from someone like God, and proceeds to look at Salesman #8436 like he doesn't know shite!
Ahhh, Salesman #8436, not to be outdone, says "Is that a smartphone"? My ever so proud as punch, excelerate student for five of her schooling years, looks at him, like, well duh!  Yeah, well duh back at ya, was the look I detected on the face of Salesman #8436...and he ever so humbly said..."just get an SD card, and you'll be good to go"!  
So, one $50 8g sd card later, Channy McFanny is busting out of her skin all over the carpark...and spends the rest of our wonderful day expounding the beauties of a smartphone!
Like Mama, used to say, somethings just seem like they're made in china!

ugly as...as ugly does!

...put a $1 tablecloth on it...
and use it inside!

ugly as taking outdoor furniture and instead of putting it in the garage...
                    because it's tooo wet and cold outside...
                                     to use it...

...bought for $4 at salvation army store...

but...I adore her more...
also...made in china

because I adore it...

...ugly as...an imagination...

...packaging...
used for packaging...
sculptured by Kyle...
to hold the jewellery...
he and Anna had bought for
Chanelle for Christmas...
...not made or packaged...
        in china!

ugly as...doing what I feel compelled to do...

than this...
which has been  sat on the floor
disconnected from  its aerial
connected to a dvd player
where I get to control
what I watch!
(the sky decoder is disconnected, which I
think is absolutely hilarious)

...like...knowing loving hands created this...
...like...feeling the beauty of this one and only...
...like...it will never be in 'better homes and gardens'  ... compelled to make this more important...

...not as ugly as it might appear...

ugly as...no holy water here...

large pot...great...especially in its day...but man can it hold some water...left outside, without an umbrella...I'd be hard pushed to empty it...so...

                     I turned it upside down and put a pot on it!
                     Done!
                     Sweet!
                     With a touch of ugly wood, resembling a boot      
                     maybe...choice!
not seen in a shop near you, and not made in china!

ugly as...my own company
