#15, #24

I just noticed that O is the fifteenth letter of the alphabet, and X is the twenty-fourth.  Are you getting what I'm getting?  1 + 5 = 6 and 2 + 4 = 6.  HCIT?

Tuesday night I took Fallon to a local record store so she could see Leathermouth.  They performed, and then signed cds for the fans.  (Fallon's favorite band is MCR so she had to go meet Frank!)  Can you imagine my face when I saw the title of the album – XO?!!!  I flipped it over and pointed out to the band that XO became OX, and of course they recognized it for the Year of the Ox.  Aren't I such a goon?

I wouldn't have known about the event if it wasn't for my friend Leci who kept us in the loop.  We had a fun night with her and Jess, and guess what she brought me?  A t-shirt from Finland!  Yes, I was a jealous wreck that she and three other friends got to see HIM in FINLAND on New Year's Eve, but I got a t-shirt!!!  Not just any t-shirt, it's a badge of honor for any HIM fan that goes to Finland.  I won't tell you what it says because if you don't know then you don't need to know.  (Shhhh, don't tell if you know).

A few other X&Os on my table…..with Valentine's Day around the corner there is much bounty, it's hard to resist.  But do visit Pacokeco on Etsy if you need some of the cool tags.

In the current crusade we are looking at shapes.  I love obsessing over them because once you have an awareness of a fave shape you tend to see it everywhere.  Trying on a new shape is like putting on new glasses – oh! the things you will see.  Like the shapes, these letters are finding me.  Love that.  ox

    it IS funny how those shapes find you. i am going to paint and paint all day tomorrow. a person can paint even in the throes of a cold, can’t she? i may go to Target, too, if i can stop using tissues for more than 5minutes at a time.
    thanks for these great images.
    yay for Fallon!

    I’m sitting here staring at the screen, back straight, eyes straight ahead, jaw dropped. I know that the rest of the post is very cool, but I’m stuck on the first, numeric portion, your brain and the fact that the top of my head just flew off.

    I just wanted to say that I found your blog today and was reading through the posts. I ended up at the pink socks pages. What an amazing thing you did with those socks. You are an amazing lady.

    Michelle, Our church newsletter arrived and lo and behold they mentioned the X=Kiss. During the Middle Ages, when few people were able to write, many documents were signed with an X. Signers then kissed the letter to affirm their sincerity in the same way the kissed the Bible when taking an oath.
    The letter X wasn’t selected at random. It was the sign of St. Andrew, who was crucified on an X shaped cross. The X implied a sacred promise to fulfill one’s obligation in the saint’s name.
    Well, I do declare!!! :o) How is that for serendipity??
