Cora The Explora Heads To Chicago

See, here's my problem.  I'm dating a totally amazing, totally artistically gifted wonderful woman, Cora.  She's coming to Chicago for the first time, EVER, and I want to do something special on my blog to honor that visit.

She made her own Jack Sparrow doll.

And this is what I come up with:

It's Cora! 
Yeah, that's the picture you see in the dictionary next to the word "Dude!"  Defined as "You just SO blew it."

Sigh…  It's going to be a FRIGID weekend in Chicago.

So, let's try this again, but try something more up my artistic avenue:

And the word of the day is "CORA"The "O" and the "R" are pictures we took in Seattle.  The "C' and the "A" are pictures from Chicago.  I think they blend nicely.

Just a few notes before I dash off:

1 – Come back tomorrow!  I will be doing something special for a certain birthday girl.

2 – Cora knew about the picture, and encouraged me to run it.  The wig was from what was going to be a Carrot Top Halloween costume, and it's got on my cheater reading specs which I've use 3 times ever.  The glass head?  What kind of weirdo has one of those?  Turns out both Cora and I own one.  Yeah, if that's not a sign from GOD I don't know what is.

And to steal from Gwen, who I will be seeing next weekend, "Have a great holiday* weekend, Monkeys!" 

*Holiday does not apply to those of you living in countries where Monday isn't a holiday, or you live in the South, where its bad form to 'The War of Northern Aggression Day',

I could do with getting some of those glass heads. I'd place them looking out of windows to freak out the neighbours.

Mo, thanks for reminding me. Have to take Cora by the "ELVIS House" because, well, yeah, like your idea. But it's ELVIS!

I have pictures.
