I'm so happy right now!





I have been looking for these little guys everywhere! They are called Kozmic Kiddles and I havn't seen them for like 40 years. I had some whn I was small and loved them but could never remember their names. Aren't they so cute! Oh my gosh! I love the little domed spaceships. I solved the mystery!

Retro Halloween costumes


For some reason I think I had this costume when I was little. But maybe is was KimBOOly's. I dunno, but I do know what those masks smell like. And the condensation that occurs from your breath on the inside of the mask. It's unforgettable.

My fave game as a kid


It's called Which Witch? and I totes loved it. And when I go to Which Which I always think of it. It's kinda like mousetrap, but cooler, cuz there's witches.

memories


She is Whitney Houston's Auntie'in case anyone didn't already know that.

TALLY WALLY DOODLE

hELLO my sweet little auntie poo! Stevie and I were texting this morning and I know she wants a haircut but doesn't have a car right now. As of now I have a chunk of time that I can maybe go pick her up from school, cut her hair, and have her back in time for Conner. If I can make it happen would you mind?

Varooommm!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for making Conner's Birthday so EXCITING! and fun! Before he left this morning I caught him talking to his monster truck Boo Boo got him. He was telling it to wait right there for him because he would be back and to not worry. Not even kidding! I have his MPS player loaded with tons of great songs, Jason Aldean, The Fray, Bob Marley and Willie Nelson to name a few. He put on his Purdue shirt, his Colts hat and hopped on his bike with his chain and rode off to school. I rode with him most of the way. I don't know if I'll ever get him back on that bus. What a great party! Thank you to everyone for coming to celebrate! Did you see the big hug Will got from Conner when he came in the front door? And how cute is Lila? And Vivian too! Oh my goodness she cracks me up. Aren't Gayle and Fred just the sweetest? We are so blessed to have such a big wonderful family! And now FOUR new mocha matrol cars!







Happy Birthday Conner!


Last night in he truck when we were going to pick up his new bike I asked Conner how he would describe his parents.(Loaded question, I know!) But it's Conner so I wasn't too worried. I would not ask Stephanie this question. But if you do get a compliment from Steph you can be sure it's genuine. Conner? Not so much. But, that's why I ask him these questions. It's just so much darn fun! He said, well, My parents are nice and cuddly and caring. And they'd do anything for me and I'd do anything for them. He said, Well, you know, I could write you a descriptive paragraph about it that would just break your heart...in a good way.

Logann took these. Happy Birthday Avree!

Lila







This is our new puppy Lila! We just got her on Saturday and she is a little love bug. She is called a teddy bear, which is a shih-tzu/bichon. We got her at Uncle Bill's Pet Superstore. She is 5 pounds. Her mom was 11 and her dad was 17 so she will probably be somewhere in that range. She is from a breeder in Southern Indiana. I gave her a bath and even blow-dried her!

cHiLi& a BLueMonGooSE

Well, I've decided that I will make chili for Conner's Birthday dinner. He is very excited about his Birthday. He won an art contest at school today! And his prize was a Colts Nerf Ball that whistles. He LOVES it! He just called Me. He went to the Noblesville Homecoming Parade with Jon & Kim. Uncle Jon picked him up after school. He said he threw the ball to the people in the parade and that they would throw it back to him. Police Officers and Football Players. Said he was having the time of his life. I also just got a call from Stevie, she's wet from being in the rain and it sucked and their float sucked (Kim said it wasn't the worst one, so that's some consolation I guess.) The theme was the Lorax and they used our stump from the front yard which was on the porch. Then she said she went to the bank and she only had $9.00 in her acct. And her battery died on her phone. One's happy, ones grumpy. She starts her new job tomorrow! Perfect timing!$$$ Everyone left work early today and it is finally quiet here. The phones have even quieted down. I have time to collect my thoughts before I head out for the day. I'm not sure I have thoughts to collect but I at least need to check. I have to clean an office tonight on my way home. It's best to do it on Friday night that way it doesn't interfere with my weekend plans so much,ya know? Tomorrow Conner has a game at 12:00. Stevie works at 12:00 and Michaela has an away meet and leaves at 5:00 in the morning. Then tomorrow night is the Lantern Awards and Mike will get his STAR award. Actually, I forgot, I was invited to a kegger tonight! And it's in South Harbour! A guy I work with lives in the hood. I may go after I finish my little cleaning job. Although it would be nice to go home and take a shower first I fear there will be no time for that. It's a bit of a pickle. I probably won't go. Fun to think about though. I need to color my hair before Saturday night. Oh, and I found a brand new bike for Conner on CraigsList for $50.00 I am going to look at it on Sunday. It's a Blue Mongoose. I sure do hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. I want to go buy pumpkins and mums and make beef stew and vegetable soup. I want to make a fire and watch a good movie. And eat pop corn. I want to go clean an office so I can buy a sweet boy a blue mongoose and a birthday cake. How's that for motivation? I hope Noblesville wins tonight.gO miLLerS !!!

Nice Quote For The Day!

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.




This fab bracelet, with the velvet blazer and gray tee, plus the dark wash straight jeans and the killer awesome booties. still need a handbag though...

Lorelai: My brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish. I'm writing a letter, I can't write a letter, why can't I write a letter? I'm wearing a green dress, I wish I was wearing my blue dress, my blue dress is at the cleaners. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue, 'Casablanca' is such a good movie. Casablanca, the White House, Bush. Why don't I drive a hybrid car? I should really drive a hybrid car. I should really take my bicycle to work. Bicycle, unicycle, unitard. Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!
Rory: Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants?
Christopher: I'm in a forest of crazy!


The book is a series of essays by various authors. There are essays on Emily Gilmore, on the Stars Hollow business world, . Many are light-hearted and extend the vision of what it is to be a part of the Gilmore world.

Gilmore Girls is more than just a tv show. It is a vision of how life can be. And it’s a world we all feel a part of. These essays explore that world and bring it to life.

Eastwick!

(which is shot on the old Stars Hollow set from "Gilmore Girls")
I knew it! I was like whoa, totes Stars Hollow!Last night when I watched it. But because I think Stars Hollow is real it did not compute that it was a set that could be re used on another show. I might need to go lay down with a blanket over my head for a while. I'm experiencing a painful over dose of reality and it hurts me.

Season Premiers

Has anyone watched any new shows that they really love? I haven't found one yet that I'm crazy about. I watched NCIS L.A. It was good, but a little predictable. I watched Modern Family but only caught the tail end. Seems funny enough I guess. It seems like there is a new trend in comedy and all the writing is similar to the movie Knocked Up. Really self depreciating and awkward. So, that brings me to Cougar Town. Maybe I will just need to give that one time to hit it's stride. The humor is very adult. And it's kind of pitiful in a way. I dunno. And Courtney's face is slightly stretched or something is different.(Maybe New Christine already has this bit down?) Then there's Eastwick, which I was pretty excited about but I'm not sure it's original enough. Sad. Sort of sloppily written. Maybe it will improve over time. And again, lots of sex talky stuff,a la Desperate Housewives/Sex in the City. I hope it gets better. We shall see. I watched Mercy and it's pretty good actually. A little edgy a little Grey's Anatomy-ish. I think I like it, but I missed the end. I think it has potential, though a bit depressing actually. Everyone is cynical and broken. I actually for some reason end up watching the Mentalist a lot. It's SO DUMB! But, that guy is so cute. And the story lines are so weak. Parks and recreation is on tonight. I think it will be a lot like The Office. (Which is funny as heck, so crazy)May be by the same people. Well, that's all I got. Chime in won't you?

ME-Shopping....

I went to Wal-Mart. I NEVER go to Wal-Mart. But, when I do, I say to myself. "I should come here more often." I bought a fan for $5.00 and I bought the cutest shirt. It is my new favorite. It is light blue light weight cotton blouse with a mandarin collar and tiny pleats down the front. It has a small pin stripe on it and it flares a bit at the waist. And it was $15.00 It's so soft. They have it in white and they had another one similar to it as well with a poets collar. I want to go back and buy the others too! Oh and when you turn the sleeves back there is a pretty little calico print on the inside. Such details you get for such a low price! And I washed it and it kept it's shape! And I didn't even have to iron it although, it maybe could have been ironed it didn't NEED to be. And it has little straps in the sleeves so you can button up the sleeve if you fold it up a couple times. Which I never do, to restrictive. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about my new favorite blouse. AND on Monday I wore it with a white beater and my fave jeans, fave belt, fave necklace and earrings and fave bracelets and I was like HEY! I have ALL my favorites on! Oh I had on my fave brown spanish leather Bob Dylan shoes on and soybean socks! I was in comfort(cotton) land USA! And that is MY shopping story.NMow you know why I never tell shopping story's. I did get an ice cream scoop in SHippshewana with a sharp edge on it and the ice cream scoops right up! It's amazing! There, is that one better? I will show it to you at the Birthday Party!

TORII

Yesterday I bought a pair of acid wash jean looking leggings and I am wayy to excited. They are soo comfy and fun! I got them at Urban Outiftters for 20 bucks!! They are having a crazzzzy sale at urban here in Savannah where over half the store is on sale. I am in heaven. I also got a pair of jean shorts that have bleech stains everywhere and I love them. I tried to look for pictures of both but none are on the internet. However, I dont think I will every be able to wear jeans again after having legging jeans. They are soo much better

Hi! I bought a really cute flannel shirt at Old Navy today! I also bought Jake some boxers, because I am such a good wife. And I got this killer awesome scarf. It is very earthly and eclectic which is kinda surprising for Old Navy, which usually sticks to classic apparel and basics. Anyway, I also went to Bed, Bath and Beyond. The one in Keystone is so huge. I haven't been there in forever and they just really have a ton of stuff. I bough a cute little throw for my couch and some gadgets. Egg gadgets really. haha. I got four little things to poach eggs in and then I also got the egg rings that my mom has and Jake envies. It is so that you can make your eggs round to fit perfectly on your bagel or english muffin. We come up with the craziest stuff, I swear!

Anyway, we finished up all the trim in our house and it looks marvelous! I am still kickin' it SOuth Beach style and I am about to head to the grocery. I am also excited because there is this really cute little dog store right next to it that I am going to check out. I've been doing laundry all day. I used to love doing laundry, don't ask me why, but now it definitely feels like a chore. I don't mind doing it, I just really hate putting it all away. I pretty much have to force myself to do it and sometimes it will sit folded in piles for weeks. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe its because I have to not only do my stuff, but Jake's as well. Who knows. Not much else to report!

Conner's Birthday


Please come over to Conner's house on Monday night to help him celebrate his 8th Birthday! We could not have the party on Sunday because he is already going to a party! (hollah!) So, we would love to see everyone who can make it. We will serve dinner around 6:00ish! It will be fun! It will be so good to see everyone! I hope you can make it! Conner really wants you to come!

I'm sorry, but isn't this taking it a little far? Where do you find heels for toddlers? I mean they had to have been special made, because these aren't like the fake little plastic heels you get at WallyWorld in a dress-up kit. Commentary Please.
