the BLAHS  

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Ever have those days (or in some cases, weeks) where nothing seems to go right?
I'm having one of those.
Can't really pinpoint why I feel this way, but I do.

The DH is driving me freaking insane!!
Bo is too loud! Not to mention, she's SO whinny!
Syd is definitely my "light at the end of the tunnel", but
even she has been a smart mouth!
Work sucks (need I say more?)!!
And, I swear, I can't get anything accomplished!!

I just have the blahs...

Good news, though, I am going on Syd's field trip to the butterfly museum tomorrow!
Possibly some good, inspiration.
Bringing the camera, of course!
AND...
you can actually purchase a chrysallis (or two) to bring home....
and
then, watch it hatch.
SO doing that!!

Gonna try to post some pictures on my blog this weekend.
went to the beach last weekend in search of
SHARKS' TEETH.
Found 4.
Yes.
Only 4.
But, that's four more than I've found before!!
Had a great time.
Got a better tan.

Well, I'm off. To bed that is.
tired, and I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow!
Ciao!

Check this out!

Everyone knows that Donna Downey rocks! She is totally all inspiring and the fact that she likes vampire smut makes her so much better! Not to mention, her friendly personality and zany sense of humor!

I got to meet her at CHA this summer in Orlando! She's great!! Anyways, I dropped by her blog today, and look what I found! Marianne of Pickled Pear Lane has donated these wonderful fat quarters to be given away to one lucky person chosen off of Donna's blog!




So, I am keeping my fingers crossed, as this awesome fabric would look great in a project I am cooking up!!

My day started out...  

Friday, August 28, 2009

Not good. I heard the damn cat out in the garage this morning. NOT a good thing, as when she is hungry, she has a tendency to meow, and we ignore her. Then, she pees on the dh's shoes. This morning was no different! I swear, if she wasn't so old, I'd send her to her grave sooner! Don't get me wrong, I love my cat, but I totally detest stepping into a puddle of cat pee!
Hence, this was how my morning started.
Getting Syd ready for school and off to school was good, as normal.
Only, when I come home, as I have to kill time, I look across the tile floor and what do I see? A darn roach lying there! With all the rain we have been having again, these stupid things have been getting on the back porch and in the garage. And, if I mistakenly open one door and leave said door open for a bit, I get the bug. Well, I chalk this darned roach up to me opening the back door to see what the ruckus in my backyard was last night!
Now, said, stupid roach is lying there on it's back. Still. Not moving. Not until I gently blow on it! STUPID, STUPID me! Well, it started moving like crazy, but hey, at least it didn't (or couldn't) crawl away. It's just lying there on it's back, freaking out!
Let me set the record straight here. I am not scared of bugs. But one of my least favorite things is having to squish a bug with my hand and feeling the CRUNCH of said bug.
Again, not how I wanted to start my morning. SOOOO...... I go outside and grab this bug spray and squirt the roach, who then proceeds to freak out and flail it's arms/legs everywhere. But :D not walking anywhere. Sorry, this is how I left said roach. Left it to just slowly die in the corner of my tile floor. I'll just pick it up with a napkin later.
And, by the way, I just looked over at the darned thing as I am typing this, and he is STILL moving!! Apparently, the bug spray I bought isn't that good because I saturated the roach about ten minutes ago! I'm leaving that stupid thing there unless DH wants to pick it up.
Now, I am off to start said day. Still need to get Bo to school. Then, I have to rush around and pick up a few things and clean my car. Then, I have to pick up my mom around 1:00 or 2:00 (can't remember what time, actually). Then, I am off to the airport to pick up my aunt, uncle, and two cousins, who are arriving for a week visit. Did I mention that they live in Hong Kong, and I haven't seen them in 8 years? Then,....
Ha! Just kidding. I think I'm done.
Have a great day, girlies!
*** edited approximately ten minutes after I published this new post: ok. Couldn't take it. Disgusting bug on my floor. I picked it up with a paper towel and disposed of it. Then, cleaned the area with Lysol wipes. Then, I mopped the whole area with my sanitizing steam mop! A little overkill? LOL!

Delving into one's "inner" self...  

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

I admit, I have a difficult time brushing my teeth. Not because I'm lazy or don't want to. It's just since my second pregnancy, brushing my teeth makes me gag. It's just not a pretty sight.

Well, tonight as I brushing my teeth, as usual, I experienced that wonderful sensation. Apparently, my face looked distorted. Who knows?! I can't honestly say, I watch my facial expressions as I am gagging over toothpaste.

Bo looks at me and asks, "Mommy, why did you make that face? You know, the one where your eyes go up like you're looking into your brain?"

Hmm. I guess that's an interesting outlook on that experience....

The little guy  

Sunday, July 19, 2009

This is my other nephew, Hagan. He's, oh, about 5 months old now. And, I'm a bad aunt....I really haven't taken any pictures of him. Why? Because there are always people around. He's always being passed from one family member to another. He has goofy hair :D I swear, his hair sticks up everywhere! It's the wierdest thing! And, yes, he's a chubba-wubba. He was at the doctor's about two weeks ago, and the boy weighs over 20 pounds! Yes, you read that right. He's a big boy!

Bo calls him "Mr. Angrypants" or "Mr. Madpants", as he always seems to be in a snit about something. But more recently, Mr. Angrypants is becoming a little happier, and my sister is also a little happier!

Ode to my friend, Julieta  

Thursday, July 16, 2009

I made a friend on my blog. Her name is Julieta, and she is from Argentina. What do we have in common? Well, we can't wait until New Moon comes out, and it seems we have some similar tastes in music. She introduced me to Shakira's new song, She Wolf. Except on Julieta's blog, Shakira was singing in Spanish, and I admit, I could not understand what Shakira was singing. But, I did find it in English, and I added it to my blog. Love the song!! Thanks Julieta!

Oh, and did I mention? We apparently admire Rob Pattinson/Edward Cullen!

I was stalking my blogs today, and I came across this on my friend's blog. In case you are wondering what to buy me for Christmas, I really, really want these!!!!!





Apparently, Mattel is jumping on the Twilight kick, and I couldn't be happier! At least, I have two little girls, who love playing with Barbies. I have an excuse!!
