Perfect Angels? :D

This is me laughing my ass off at the photo booth photos B and I took at the mall today. :D

Dallas Arboretum

I bought the DVD Knocked Up today. The tag line for this movie is located to the right of Seth Rogen's head and says, "what if this guy got you pregnant?" I'm really not into getting pregnant right now but I think there is more of a "would you even have sex with this dude?!" message underneath.

The question I pose to all of the internets: Am I the only one who thinks Seth Rogen is a total hottie?

a picture saying its own words

No, it's not Puppy's birthday, it's just been 3 months. It feels like just yesterday, and also an eternity.

(If you're new to Puppy, go here then here, but bring a box of tissues.)

Do you see what I see (do you see what I see)?

Don't you hate it when I get Christmas songs stuck in your head? *grin*

Excuse my unmade bed for the purposes of this demonstration.

You see Ripley:


You see Allie:



You see how close they are to each other? :


Yah, they never do that. Except they kinda do now. The girls are bonding a little. :)

Of course, Ripley's a little camera shy today so directly after that last picture she crawled off the bed and UNDER the covers:


I love my girls. :) :) :)



In case anyone's wondering, "where's Georgie?!" let me assure you she's not far:


Hangin' in the window staring at the squirrels. :)

(I'm smiley today.)

Update: ZOMG, it's happening again! Look! :

Poppy flavored spring rolls

My friend with the very adorable kids (the wife of Break Boy) sent me this photo:



Along with it she wrote "this totally reminds me of you" which made me smile and feel some happiness. A step in the right direction. I had been feeling nothing for myself today... essentially numb. So, it's good to feel. :)

My interpretation: I am cute Asian food. Yum!

I wonder what the strawberries are doing there... Palate cleanser? And is that a larger than life smiling Buddha Jordan almond? heeeeeee!

<3

This is a photo of Georgia, Ripley, Allie, and Little Kitty. LK was my childhood cat and was around for the first few months of my blog but she was very sick. She now sits in a wooden box on my bedside table.

as promised

Dumpster photos:





Some of the neighborhood kids came by yesterday and wanted to use the wood on top to build a fort. :( That wood is just holding stuff in there because it's been very windy lately. That's $100 in wood that Hay is not willing to part with. Understandable. If it's still just sitting around when the house is sold we'll give it to the kids. :) (And by then they probably won't want it, oh well.)

I was there. See? Right there. Yup!

I found my ticket stub from the July 13, 1994 Grateful Dead concert in Highgate, Vermont. I was there with my then boyfriend and we had an incredible time, despite my kinda-disinterest in The Dead. I know we were just there for the experience, but it was definitely an enchanting one.



For photos of that event go see Jim Anderson's site. If you can pick me out in the crowd I'll give you a cookie. :P

This just in...

Instrumental Christmas music makes Georgie severely grumpy:



It's what was in my CD player/alarm clock. I never listen to the CD player. I wake up to the BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP noise.

We have switched to iTunes shuffle. Georgie is now happily cleaning her leg.

fairly weighed

Went to the fair last night and ate lots of yummy food and fed ameenals and watched people screaming on rides and ignored carnies but secretly watched them out of the corner of my eye and allowed myself to enjoy the time.



Today I am throwing things away since we have this massive dumpster sitting in our driveway. I'm starting out by throwing away clothes, and I'm torn. I used to weigh 50 lbs more, less than two years ago. I gained those 50 between 1997 and 2005, steadily over time for the most part. And now I'm just a little nervous about throwing away 3/4 of my wardrobe, ya know? But I'm doing it anyway. Because, just like with being scared, what's wrong with being a little nervous? :)

unfairly robotic flowers

No fair! (As in, didn't go, not as in life sucks.) Too exhausted by little kiddos being way too much fun. If Break Boy would let me I'd totally steal his kids and keep them as my own. Two photos from the party...



Me eating a robot an alien (it was a robot and alien-themed party).




My cake and ice cream.


I've finally uploaded photos for Sunday Garden Party! Not too many this week, but they're great no matter. Here's a photo of flowers I cut myself from my gardens then arranged myself in this vase then put on the island for my viewing pleasure:



Rest of the 36-photo set is over at flickr.

This week's Sunday Garden Party is brought to you by the letters Q and P and the number 7.





The rest of the fantastic 75-photo set is available at flickr.

at a loss

I have a lot to say, but it's trapped inside of me.

Notez Bien

You may see a lot of even more superficial posts than usual here, but I appreciate it that you're sticking around anyway.

I currently have absolutely nothing to say, so here's another photo:



Happy birthday, beautiful girl. Mama loves you more than words can say.

The glads are in full swing, as are the caterpillars:

Walken, talkin', chicken hockin'

I'm clearly running low on title creativity.

I think about less than a handful of you look at SGP so I am going to start off with food stuff instead. This morning I was feed reading my food blogs and found this post about Ilan from Top Chef having a big announcement. I can't stand Ilan so I went to leave a comment about how I assume his big announcement is that he's having Sam's baby and found that someone had left a "Christopher Walken cooking chicken and pears" comment. Intrigued, I followed the link, and here's what I found.


The ending is my favorite part. Christopher talking about the pear bottoms as tasty cookies is my second favorite part. The unveiling of the cute chicken after it was cooked is my third. Have I mentioned that I used to hate Christopher Walken because he creeped me out as a kid but now that I'm an adult and understand The Man I think he's awesome? No? Well, pretend I just did.

On to SGP. I did visit the in-laws yesterday. Their gardens take up almost all their lawn, save for foot paths in between the beds, so there was a lot to take in. Some of the photos in this week's set are from my gardens but most are from theirs. Some of my most favorite shots:





The full 118-photo set is at flickr.

Sunday Garden Party, now with more butter!

...flies. Butterflies. Yes. Not buttery.

Lots of butterflies and bugs on the flowers this week. My favoritest combination.



I even had a butterfly on my leg!
