In consecutive order:

1. A twirl up and through the mountains.

2. Clipping in.

3. Gliding off.

4. Settling in.

I haven’t a clue what you’re up to today (except the Dove, she and I, together, are planning our play list in our studios and jamming together from afar) but I hope it’s something good!
I’m off to flip around in the studio like a silvery fish!
Glub glub!

  1. as per our wee conversation on flickr—you are just a bundle of pleasant surprises. so glad you and RW had a delightful skate(ski)! it's such an exhilarating activity…and such a great all-over cardio workout!

    yay!

    well, I am completing a first week of back to work, taming those molecules, thinking, rethinking, looking forward to getting used to 010 and in between, I am surfing (I don't dare say that I swam outdoors at noon)

    looks like you are having heaps of fun…enjoy the weekend and say hi to Dove for me

    xo

  4. Ah, looks like such a fun day! I can hardly wait to snowshoe and cross country ski when I move.

    Sooo good to have you back, JSL!! Have a lovely weekend.

    Re: The video

    I shot tea out my nose when I watched it the first time.

    🙂

    Runs4fun: Again, wish you could have joined us, toots!

    MLJ: Do you tame them with a whip? I know it's tiny work but I imagine them obeying your fierceness!!! XO

  6. The Noisy Plume: says

    Kim: Oh yes. You'll have a lovely time! Happy trails to you!

  7. heehee, so busted! I've BEEN in the studio and am pretending to take a yoga break but actually popped on the ol' apple and there was Idaho!

    I miss your hills, your Peene Pie, your mustard and fushia and your squeaky swacks that make me smile. NOT in consecutive order.

    plus…
    I want to see the blowhole.

    That was a perfectly normal request.

  8. Hey, that P.S. with the video wasn't there before I commented. Just watched it, it WAS hilarious/cute/adorable… lol 🙂

  9. DUDE. I was just picturing this old commercial with cat wranglers (bunch of cowboys herding cats over the hills) and but in my mind all the cats were wearing little molecule costumes and MLJ was loping along behind them on her big bay steed with flashes of silver light in her ears.

    I wish you could see my head right now. It's a pretty awesome scene.

  10. hehe
    best video i've seen in a long time. my favourite are the screams for the yawning kitties. and i think it's funnier the more i think about it!!
    loved the skiing shots. now where's the humpback buckle?! since steve's all about saving the humpbacks, maybe he'd like to see me wear such an article. maybe.
    xoxoxo

    i'm a magician. i'm a rabbit.

    bahahaha!

    nice 🙂

  12. KITTENS!! Too funny.

  13. The Noisy Plume: says

    …urgh.
    I hate to admit it, but I JUST finished the humpback whale belt buckle 5 minutes ago and I'll have to show it to you tomorrow. BUT. Be warned. I'm not sure if I'll be able to part with it:)

  14. Om mu Jillian, it's good to see you back and refreshed for a whole new year of possibilities!

    My year can't get any better after watching the most adorable video I have ever seen in my life! I have laughed out loud thru tears 5 times now and cannot get enough of it! Your niece is just precious!
    Seriously, that made my whole year. I think it is worthy of Good Morning America or the Today Show! I wouldn't be surprised if it hits the you-tube famous craze!

    In fact, I'm gonna go watch it again! eeeeee……

  15. so glad you and kelly can be so connected and such an incredible inspiration to each other. it must be a wonderful thing for 2 artists to find kindredness in each other that few others (if any) could really understand. may it truly continue to bless you both, this awesomely special bond 🙂

  16. Oh! That looks amazing, I'm so jealous you're able to just clip in and ski away. Looks delightful 🙂

  17. Nice shots Jillian. Looks like you don't ever fall….no gators and spandex. You are a vixen, aren't you? Your sweat probably smells like lavendar, too. Yes, it very well might 🙂

    ps. X-country skiing in MT has hit it's all time year high, at least determined by the Fletchers.
    Happy Skiing,
    Fletch

    Jillian! The kitten video made me laugh hard!!! thank you!

  19. HA! oh college humor, how you take hours of my life away…

    Seeing your little jaunts and excursions makes me extremely envious. Can't wait to leave this Chicago-Winter-Concrete-Jungle!

  20. So did you see those three kittens while you were in Hawaii? apparently they were there. If you did see them, did you feed them pie or beef jerkey?

    Hehehe. That video was inspired.

    Can't wait to see your humpback whale ANYTHING. Have a great weekend Jillian!
