I've got a connection!

Shocking but I actually have an internet connection that seems to be lasting more than 5 minutes. Of course the Cable guys are coming out today and will walk in, look at it, unplug things, replug things and declare it fine..when I know it's not. That bugssssssssssssss me so much. So we'll see..and if you've emailed me recently and I haven't responsed..I am not ignoring you..just hard to email when everytime I do..I lose my connection.

For today though..I am sharing the funnies thing my good friend Mary Beth sent me about men..so enjoy! It's a good laugh I think!


1. Men are like ...Laxatives ...... They irritate the crap out of
you.
2. Men are like.....Bananas ....... The older they get, the less firm
they are.
3. Men are like ......Weather . Nothing can be done to change them.
4. Men are like .......Blenders ... You need One, but you're not quite
sure why.
5. Men are like .....Chocolate Bars .... Sweet, smooth, & they usually
head right for your hips.
6. Men are like ....Commercials ....... You can't believe a word they
say.
7. Men are like... Department Stores ..... Their clothes are always 1/2
off.
8. Men are like ......Government Bonds .... They take soooooooo long
to mature.
9. Men are like .....Mascara . They usually run at the first sign of
emotion.
10. Men are like ......Popcorn ..... They satisfy you, but only for a
little while.
11. Men are like... Snowstorms .... You never know when they're coming,
how many inches you'll get or how long it will last.
12. Men are like ........Lava Lamps .... Fun to look at, but not very
bright.
13. Men are like... Parking Spots .......... All the good ones are taken,
the rest are handicapped.

Now send this to all the remarkable women you know, as well as to any
understanding good-natured, fun kinda guys you might be lucky enough to
know !!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mary Beth..too darn funny!!!!


And I'll leave you with a new layout using brand new Bo Bunny products and featuring an awfully cute Haley! (click to see larger)


I'll be back later...have a good one..and special thoughts go out to the lady who sent me that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are You Ready for An Update?

Wow..it's been a bit too long since my last post and I am sorry about that. I've just been busy..fact of life..yep busy. But then anyone who reads my blog knows that that is my life all the time. But how about an update on things and such.

Kitchen Remodel

Good news..it's almost done. And really I shouldn't call it a remodel..but it seems like it to us. We've got a new tile floor, new wall color, some cabinets gone(they were all taken out to tile under) and we decided not to put some back for now as well they stunk. So we're making due until we can get all new ones. We gave the island a mini facelift..counter top still to come, added a new fan,(the old light colored one will come down eventually for pendant lights) a new clock and put the upstairs bench in..and well it's like a kitchen remodel for us. Here's some pics for you:





Here's some things I bought for the kitchen that I am crazy over..

love this candle and the cool wood base it stands on..perfect!



Shoe basket..yes..it's just a basket but when I found it at TJMaxx I knew it was coming home with me. It's huge, great shape and the perfect colors! And holds tons of shoes!




So there's the kitchen..no not hugely exciting but for us..HUGE! Gone the crappy white linoleum that always always looked dirty and had spots and yellow marks and looked awful! Gone the country, paisley wallpaper! Gone the window cabinet that really was a collection spot for junk. We'll replace it with a much better setup eventually. Still need to find new window panels for the sliding door..but's it's not a huge priority..the floor makes me so happy and having it in the bath and laundry room..awesome!

So..that's it for now..off to work my final shift at Gymboree..I'll update more tomorrow as there's alot more to share!

Not sure how I'll do with him being gone all day!!!!!! He's the bright spot of the day..he loves to hug me, give kisses and tell me more times than I can count that he loves me. He's truly something special!!! So happy happy happy Birthday my crazy, silly, very loving 6 year old Pirate Parker!

He'll say..Mom..I want to give you a kiss..so this week I took a picture of him doing that!

Hey Mom..he told me..I am a sun! Yes...he really is a bit of sunshine!!!

Here's a new Paper Salon layout I did of him with what is always seen on his face! A smile!

August is already here

It is so hot here now that the best thing to do is to stay in and knit or crochet. It really won't be long now till Fall has decinded on us and those scarfs, hats and so forth have been pulled out for warmth.

Ebay keeps me busy as well as the grandkids this summer. I am in a number of groups on Ebay and they keep me a little busy. I believe today I feel like dabbling in some polymer clay. I am still playing with my medal charms and have started knitting some wrist bands.

I just finished some decorative pins in pc and added some fun beads to them.
I also just finished a fun wrap/scarf and now I hear my knitting needles calling me.
