So all week long, my DH, the wanderer himself, has been an the verge of being giddy. That's right. Giddy. He has bailed out on an awful lot of V-days in the past and he had cooked up something amazing for me. He was obviously very proud of himself because he kept mentioning how I was going to get something "sparkly". Anyone who knows me knows that while I will wear jewlery, I am notorious for having chains break or earings fall out.....usually in direct relationship to the cost of th...
She loved her brother's cards so much that she wanted some too.....here it is, pre-lollypop. the names have been removed to protect the innocent. (so I can blog about it without having her name on the photo that is visible to strangers)....hence the fuzzed out section in the bottom corner.
Every year, swarms of kids exchange overpriced cards with cartoons on them. I just don't like the options....So here was my ingenious (imo) idea for a unique valentine's day card for my son to take to school..... Doesn't make much sense, you say? Well here is the finished product...with treat. Woo Hoo! Cool points for creativity! Lost a few points for using All-mart to print the pictures (notice how they cut off the red border? It was exactly 4x6...punks.) Maybe I'll sta...
Happy birthday BFD! Hope you have a wonderful day! For everyone out in Joeuser land, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that BFD is one of the greatest guys I've ever met. I could wax elouquent about his many talents and skills but I'm actually not that good at waxing elouquent....suffice it to say that he is a stablilizing factor on a great number of people and his influence has affected many lives. He is a great man, deserving of much more than I could give. Thanks fo...

Long story short...military health care can suck. Just imagine a rant....I'm not up to doing it justice. The kids are outside enjoying a warm afternoon. I was taking a *well deserved* nap on the couch after church and Girl asked if she could play outside. I grunted a yes without opening my eyes and told Boy to go out with her. I can hear them playing, so I'm not really worried about it. I can hear them playing 2 different games at the same time. Girl keeps asking Boy, "Do...
Thank you Flickr for motivating me. As I was forcing myself to clean the fridge, I had a great idea for my 365. (I'm doing a project where I take a self portrait every day for a year) and well, it motivated me to clean my fridge a little more than I was planning....Who wants to sit in the mystery goop that congeals under the veggie drawer?
Shameless self promotion...go here and watch.... Link Have you ever written a check or made a credit card payment for some trivial amount? Did you just roll your eyes that you had to swipe a card or write a check for $2? Well, I just topped that. I paid an 'e-bill' to Home Depot for ONE FREAKING CENT! I just recieved a late payment due email and was confused. I paid off the account already.....well, I paid off all but one freaking cent. That's right, I made the last payment and did...
Just as a note.... This is a back end splits. Back end meaning that I have to pop into the trick on the back end of the swing and it's harder than it looks. I've been trying to catch my return for MONTHS.....and I am a dork....you just have to watch and see! I wasn't ready to catch the bar....and I kicked the bar on the very next trick...ouch!
The internet is a great force. It can be used for good (as in using digital flashcards to help me prep for my history test) and not so good (when it's distracting me from using said cards). BUt no fear. I aced the test 100% woo hoo! And in celebration, here are a few of the random things that tore me away from what I *should* be doing. Email....did HW write? IM....did HW message me? Flickr.....any new challenges or ideas? Here...duh. And then there are the odd ones. Link Video...
Due to a situation outside our control, the Trapeze-Experience Show has been rescheduled for Saturday, November 3rd at 5:00pm! Best regards, Peter Sigh, but I still get to perform...just a bit later. And since there isn't much to say....here is a fun link to a friend. Link She is scheduled to perform that same night...so if you are in Austin....
That's right ladies and gents, Life Happens will be performing in the circus! If you happen to be in the Austin area on Saturday, October 20th, you can see her LIVE for one performance only!!!!! ***thundering applause**** So when I came home about 20 min ago, there was a message on my answering machine from J-Bird (of trapeze-experience.com) and he reminded me that there will be a performance show on Saturday (5:30 pm at the Crossings, if you are in town) and then...... ......he...
So I am in charge of a money making scheme...ahem... fundraiser ...for the unit. We will use the money for Christmas care packages, welcome home baskets for the single soldiers, and the welcome home banners, party etc. So here is my delemia. I don't want to pull out my tree yet. (even though HW thinks I do) So I can't just take a patriotic Christmas picture and i had to digitally make something. What do you think? Too simple? Too fake? Help me out here please! I am not a pro at th...
Pretty darn good practice...after a dozen messed up ones. And a catch
but how hot can I be when my ride is tricked out with 2 carseats in back? Actually this joe was just to 1)fulfill HW's request for something new...and 2) to announce that I am back in trapeze!!! Woo Hoo! I have to take it easy...I have school and work and work and the other work and being a mom to worry about and the incredible $$$$ that it would cost, but I can treat myself once a month. But since I snagged a nifty gig today and made a cool $100...I'm headed down this weekend!...
