Really funny

Vacuum is making very weird sounds.

Wil cleans the filters, checks the tubes and empties the canister.

Attempts floor suction.

As he is leaning over the Hoover to check performance,

I sneak up behind him and begin popping balloons.

He thought it was going to blow up.

I thought, "I'm funny."

Real Bad

Let's just pretend that you know someone who's Mom babied them. And let's say that you hear that this person has, oh, let's say, broken a toe. Imagine for a moment a man around age 36. (Important factor to grasp: you have not seen this man in over 13 years.)

Picture a mom who loved her son in a TERRIBLE way and called you a Hussy and a Slut. Not viciously, but in a conversational way. It was what she thought of all girls who liked this son and all the girls whom the son LIKED. It was just part of her make up. You get the idea ~ No love lost between you and said mom.

So, when you hear the Man/Boy of 36ish has an OUCH, you ask,

"Is he having his Mommy bring him meals while he has a BooBoo?"

To which you receive,

"She's no longer with us."

Yep. That's me.

Sorry for your loss, Duck.

Devastation would encompass me if something happened to my mom.

Very VERY Big Dead Snake

Ok. This anaconda is too big. Thank Heaven it is dead.

Vintage Halloween ATC Swap

Anyone feel like being creative? Wanna join a swap?

I've never done this before, but I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Here's the lowdown from Two Crafty Mules:

Halloween is such a fun time of year and I thought it would be a great time to host our first blog swap with a vintage Halloween theme. This swap is a 3 for 3 ATC (Altered Trading Card) swap. What is an ATC, you ask? An ATC is a miniature work of art (the size of a playing card) which people swap with one another. The size of the ATC is always 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". It can be decorated in any form or fashion, including painting, decoupage, collage and the like. If you have not made an ATC yet, I warn you - it's really addicting. Thankfully, they are inexpensive to make, so you can craft your heart out and not break the bank.

To Dance.... To Dream

Bought these today:

I know Kate will dance beautifully.

She can do the Chinese splits (is that what they are called?).

She is very bendy.

She loves to show me her twirls.

She loves to explain how she can kick her leg high to her Daddy.

At her first recital, I am to bring her Chocolates and Wil will bring her Flowers.

I never took ANY dance classes. I have always wanted to glide when I walk.... I stumble and lumber. Do you think it's too late to learn?

i've been messing around with invites lately.... can't stand the store bought cards, and don't have the space for a mess scrapbooking invites would create. So, I've stuck to the computer and here are a few I've done:

My RayBans have Red lenses

Funny. Red is Favorite Color.
what color do your lenses make the world?

You See The World Through Red Colored Glasses

You live your life with intensity. You have strong emotions and experience everything vividly. You judge all interactions through the lens of power. You determine who has the most power and how to improve your position. You face challenges with courage and strength. You can will your way through any problem. You see love as the utmost expression of your passions and desires. Your romantic life is very passionate and overwhelming. At your worst, you are easily angered and quick to fight. You will go to war with anyone. You are happiest when you are expending a lot of energy. And you love the feeling of danger!

Ohhh.... a GIVEAWAY!!!

Nope. Not from me.

You need to check out Tanja for the goods.

It's all about ORGANIZATION!

(couldn't we all use a LITTLE help in that area?)
