Hopefully, The Closest I’ll Ever Get to a Mug Shot.

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Yep, I got me a shiner. Only, on the chin.
Today, I got in a fight with a bungee cord and lost. (This is probably proof that I should pay more attention-slow down-quit trying to do 10 things at once, or, that I am just very, very clumsy.) Because I am very classy and haul a [...]

Halloweenies

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Halloween ended with my kids coming into possession of more candy than they can ever possibly eat and me not blowing chunks. Yeah!
Ozzie, the Indian brave. Excuse me, Native American brave. Er, indigenous peoples brave?

Ivy, showing off some Pikachu tail.

Hope you had a good one!

Happy Halloween, I’ll Be Puking.

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I woke up at 2:30 am feelin funny. Not good funny, hot and cold funny, scratchy throat and rumbly stomach funny. And then I threw up. So, yay, I’ve got the flu. No fairie costume for me. No trick or treat. And I have a midterm Tuesday, so if I’m laying around I really feel [...]

Makeup by Mom

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Ivy has amassed quite a collection of makeup supplies lately. A couple of the homes we’ve cleaned out had all kinds of Mary Kay and Avon makeup samples in them, clean and sealed, so I let her have some of them. She has a special box, full of her jewelry and makeup.
(Her dad very nearly [...]

Redecoratitis

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I’m pretty sure I have a disease. You see, I can’t stop redecorating. It always starts the same. I come across some rocking fabric and envision a particular room in my house, completely dressed up around it. I make curtains, perhaps a few matching pillows. Sometimes a slipcover is involved. I sit back, relax and [...]

Wanted: Hamster Cage

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Saturday morning I was puttering around in the garden when I heard a terrible hissing noise and found one of my cats engaged in mortal combat with, of all things, a hamster. A hamster who had obviously seen better days, as one eye was swollen shut and half of an ear was torn off. I [...]

Mehndi Safari Skirt

Monday, September 15th, 2008

In attempt to ignore how uncomfortable I was this weekend (you’re not sick of hearing about that yet right? ) I made myself a skirt out of this unbelievably cool “Mehndi Safari” fabric. I added pockets in the front, a zipper and a contrasting blue waistband, just for fun. Its very twirly and fun! [...]

Ain’t No Party Like My Nana’s Tea Party

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Saturday night was the big 30 year anniversary party for my parents. I just have to say that it was a rousing success. Excellent food, a huge crowd, tons of drinking and dancing and laughing and more drinking.
Why do I have a picture of the cake instead of my mom and dad? Because I actually [...]

Happy Birthday Jason!

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Jason turns 34 today! He bought himself a set of drums on Sunday so he got his present early, but it was too good a deal to pass up. Here is the birthday boy, rocking out:

Chicklets

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

My Easter Egg Bantams arrived yesterday! They are super cute and really, really freaking loud. Hence, they are living in a rubbermaid bin in the sunshine during the day and in the warm garage at night. Here are the new ladies:

This is Twinkle… can you guess who chose that name?

This is Serama the [...]
