25 CENT FUN...

I'm not one for mass chaos and tons of noise,

so Chuck E Cheese's is not really my favorite place.

I do love the picture printing machine though...

how could I not? This sweet pic of G2 gave

me a much needed laugh! Enjoy!

The Taller Half...

gEtS a PeDiCuRe!

DOH!

I asked my brother-in-law to pick up a dead Christmas tree I'd seen on the side of the road so we could burn it in the cul-de-sac.

He did get the tree and totaled my car too!

In the end, it's all good. Well, other than the fact that I don't have a car right now. We got a decent settlement and I always hated the Tahoe anyhow. Six boys from the 'hood' went along for the wild ride and thought the crash was awesome!

Apparently there was no lesson learned here!

Good times!

We did torch the tree and it was awesome!

Here's a pic of one we burned on New Years Eve...

FEELIN THE LOVE....

And it has lasted and lasted.... this is 'freals', it's an actual card that

my mom gave to my dad for Valentines Day. I don't know when

exactly, but from the vintage look of the card, it's been awhile!

I've had it for well over a decade, it was a must save!

My mom once told me (OK she told me a bazillion times)

if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

So that said, I won't elaborate on their relationship

and the reasons I have tried to not emulate it!

Happy Valentines Day!

Hmmm....

G1 is in Cub Scouts and this year for the annual Blue & Gold Banquet the theme is American ABC's so someone came up with the idea to have the boys request postcards from friends and family that live in other cities and states. The postcards will be used as decorations. We got this one from a friend of a family member. At first glance I thought... oh a cute furry animal... and then I took a closer look. Do you see what I see? Yeah, how could you not? When I showed G1 he got a confused look and said, you can see his weiner? When I showed G2 he just giggled.

Words of wisdom...

...for the new year.

Have a fine 2009!

May you find your inner Pollyanna

as you discover the secret to happiness!

Who knew there was a secret to happiness? I found this among my gomers. (endless piles & stacks of stuff that tend to take over my life) Can you guess my favorite on this list? I think it would have to be: ~Take time to be alone. I'm all about being alone. I'm alone right now and I'm loving it. But really I should find out where the boys are since they just got home from school and all is calm. They must be outside in the sac (cul-de-sac), I'd better go check!

son of a....

$%#@!

Well my good intentions of not swearing in 2009

were history before noon on January 1st.

Ahhh, who am I kidding?

I should've known that one was pointless!
