Shopping Therapy...

I took my 17 y.o. daughter, Lauren out clothes shopping today...
That girl can s.h.o.p. till she drops...We found beautifully romantic
clothes in honor of Valentines Day, accessories to die for and shoes that would make you wanna kiss yer mama...
I used to wear beautiful shoes with skyscraper heels, but since I like to remain standing upright, I've decided crocs are more my style.

Plus, what other shoe can you wear that doubles not only for comfort, but blends into a hospital surrounding, should you need to see a doctor, lol.
Versatility is your friend.

But back to Shopping....Shopping is your friend too...
Although it can be expensive, its still cheaper than seeing a therapist *smiles*

Even after all this time

Clubbing

Ahem.....So... define the word "Clubbing"

Someone?

Anyone?

Hello? Clubbing?

My innocent 20y.o.-son, Tim, is going clubbing tonite with his new girlfriend. Now, I am assuming that clubbing does NOT mean, they are taking clubs and beating other people.

I'm also assuming that clubbing has nothing at all to do with golf.

I must try to regress & remember what it was like to be 20 and the world is your oyster.

Ahhh, to be twenty again.....

You have to learn how to love & get hurt. Like 1000 times.

You learn that staying up all night isnt really what its cracked up to be.

Especially when you have to arrive at your J.O.B. by 8am.

You learn that life comes along with this stupid thing called responsibility.

You learn that wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.

What you NEED to learn, is that life is half spent before we even know what it IS.

At 20, we worry about what others think of us.

At 40, we dont care what others think of us...

And at 60 we discover they weren't even thinking about us at ALL.

Isn't life just funny?
Some days you are the Bug. And some days your the Windshield.

Whether your 20 OR 40.........

New addition to our Family

Look at that face. How can you deny that little hot dog precious face? Well, you can't, so guess what happened? Yah, Uh-Huh, Yup....correct.

That precious little hot dog face came home with me Saturday. I'm such a sucker, what can I say?

I named her Kady in Kandy's honor. We wont talk about Kandy, it's too painful ;(

So, Kady is a 16 week old miniature Doxie. She's full of life, sweetness & wet puppy kisses. Such a loving baby and the light in my eyes these days.

She really filled a void I had in my heart, and sometimes the love of a puppy can be the only one thing that fills that open void.

I don't have a scale with me here, I didn't bring it on our move, but if I had to guess I'd say she's not even 2 pounds big.

And of course she's long like a ferret which makes her even funnier.

I will post more pictures of her this week, but I just HAD to show you her little face. If you need to find me, I'll be the one on the floor getting all the puppy kisses from my weeny hot dog. I know your jealous *wink*

In love with another Artist....

Im in love.

Again??

Yes, Again....!!

Don't be hate'n... it happens.
Your just jealous....
cuz I am in love with yet another artist. *(Jumps up & down to wave HI to Jennifer. Note to self: Next time when jumping, wear sports bra)*

The Joker....ahh.........The Joker. A pencil drawing by my friend, colleague & fellow artist, Jennifer of JSJ Studios.
She also drew one of my sculpted clay baby chimps....how freegan fantastic is that?

Pretty freegan fantastic if you ask me. It takes a special God given talent to be able to draw at this level. I'm hoping that my middle daughter, Lauren will someday be at Jennifer's high skill level....She's a brilliant drawer for being only 14. Hey Jen.....teach classes? lol.....

Anywhooooo...click on The Joker's picture, it will surf you on over to
JSJ Studios and you can take a gander for yourself....What a nice gift this would make for a loved one.
Plus, there is only 116 shopping days left until Christmas.

Er...Uh...STOP....Hold the Train....OhMyGoD....What?
116 shopping days left? Holy Shittake mushrooms....

Im in LOVE

Im in love.

*insert best shower singing voice here*
"Cuz I'm in luv wit a strippa...."

No really, Im in love.
Look at this bead.

I said , look at this bead!
"LOOK AT IT DAGGUMMIT"

There. There.

Arent you happy you looked? I did NOT make this bead. I repeat, I did NOT make it... But I secretly wish I did....(shhh, don't tell Renee!)

Renee of JetAge Studio's did.....AND, AND, if you click on the booty-ful bead, you'll be able to look at more of Renee's work
& drool as I've done ~ all over my keyboard. ~

*Grabs kleenex to clean up spit - and hands you one too*

Oh Renee, I heart you. I soo totally heart you.

I mean, I really love your work! Is it possible? Is it possible, that Im in love with another artist that makes the most beautiful beads this side of planet earth?

Pfffft.....Anythings possible. Hell, look at the rack on my tomatoes! *grins & winks*
