whatever

smile

even though today was a sad day
i wanted to put some things on that were making me smile.

*starbucks venti carmel macchiato

*new CD - all french music...i don't know any french but i have always liked french sounding music. there it was at starbucks...i used my happy pass (did i use that term correctly jana?) and bought it. it's so much fun...just the case itself is so french and flowery and the CD is pink...it was meant for me

*a few weeks ago i walked into Michaels crafts store...it had been awhile...there in the front row...the first thing you see...martha stewart crafts floor to ceiling end to end...it was so beautiful. i had to stop and have a moment. i am not a martha worshiper but that girl has got IT! it was so perfectly displayed, coordinated and marketed. i wanted it all...seriously. i didn't yet. it's not outrageously priced either. it's about time martha!

*smoothies...all the time..frozen blueberries make it so good.

*tea parties in the dining room

*new flowers in the garden are blooming...yellow echinacea

*ponytails on annie....she rarely allows this...but look how cute!

*also my white sharpie pen is making me very happy

*new "radio station" on the internet at www.Pandora.com...it only plays what you like...it's genius...if you wanted it could be all barry manilow all the time...or kool and the gang??? we chose oscar peterson and it feels like we are in maggianos restaurant every night...if i close my eyes and don't listen to all the screaming kids around me.

*my blog getting 300 hits the day Kim but me on her blog! holy cow.

our house

okay just a sampling of the photo album i made on the bottom left of our house.
it's not everything of course
there is already too much but once i start taking pictures i like them so much i can't choose.
our dining room is yucky
and the foyer is under construction
so not shown.

enjoy our house.
housing is cheap in kansas
compared to chicago at least.
so all you chicago friends...
check out kansas!
we may be redneck but it's worth it.

kim are you happy?
full frontal.

3 more pages

3 pages from talby's book

for many of my pages i look at other people's pages for ideas and then copy in my own way. so if you happen to see one of your pages on my blog be flattered not mad.
i admit it.
i scrap-lift.
all the time.

don't forget to check out kim's blog!
too cool.

and my sister corrected me about kool and the gang.
it was an 8 track player in the boat.
none of us had any 8 tracks so that's why we listened to that over and over.

there's a party going
on right here.
a celebration to last
throughout the year
so bring your good times
and your laughter too
we're gonna celebrate
and party with you
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES
come on!

hahahahahahaha
