Snicker Snicker. I surprised Jenn.
======>> Gotcha!<<=====
This was actually pretty easy and fun. I simply purchased these window decal blanks and voila! For us graphic hounds, this is a fun project! I am thinking of it for scrapbooking or other crafting, such as baby announcements, or they would make a fun party favor or party place marker for the kids. We'll see.

And here's another one: Life Journey. I must stop playing the "Let's See How Many Household Duties I Can Ditch To Make A New Set" game! LOL!

Well, aside from i-shopping today, I also made a new set called Sunburst. I kinda like it, but it feels so different from me. Make sense? Anyway, please check it out and let me know whatcha think!

Mother-o-mine - this would be such a cute mother's day gift! Hey all you kids out there!

Oh my goodness!!! I WANT this fountain!!! I know, I know, ME stuff is terminally cute, but I'm addicted. Good thing I don't have $400 bucks sitting around!!!!
Noop - didn't make it to Costco yesterday. Dh came home mid-morning from his jury duty call and hung around for a few hours and lunch, after which I napped! Ahhh that feels good. Then, since dh was going to be late from work, I took the kids out to the mall. Had Kaitlin's hair cut to her shoulders - every day is a screaming crying match and washing it - forget it! We walked around a bit and I splurged and got myself a Mary Engelbreit coffee cup that matches this set. Then we went to Michael's and got snake stickers for Kait(go figure!) and some wood carving supplies for Henry's new hobby. Well, the first thing he created was a phaser from Star Trek. What a kid. Of course, he had Dad's help shaping it with the band saw and then they went to work carving out buttons and seams, etc. We've got a bit more to do today and then he'll paint it. He even slept with it last night! LOL! Oh to be 9 again!

I was feeling like Eeyore today. "Oh well, [in monotone Eeyore voice] haveta go get groceries, haveta clean the house . . . . " and then Jenn called! How cool was that? I had a great time talking on the phone - and a tough time shutting up for Jenn to get a word in edgewise! Sorry Jenn! I try so hard to let others talk, but I get excited and the rest is history! LOL! You sound so cute and I can't believe we talked for almost 2 hours! Send me a bill. And of course the minute we got off the phone, I thought of a thousand things to ask about. Well, maybe not a thousand! Anyway, they'll wait until next time. Now I'm all jazzed up and want to go shopping or something. Not exactly conducive to getting the housework done, but maybe I can squeeze in a Costco run? We'll see.

Well, it finally happened to me, too. Feeling boring, so I make a cute post stabbing fun at myself and hit "Post & Pubish" . . . . and it vanished!!! Argh Now I know how you felt, Jenn!

Short version of the aformentioned story: My smart-a** cat, who has figured out that if she wakes up my kids, I will feed her or let her out, has started opening their bedroom door at night and waking up my light sleeping dd! She used to try to wake me up, but when I learned to ignore her, she went for the kids. SO . . . . I tell my dh that the kids' door doesn't close and it needs a new door knob. SO . . . . he gets one and has tremendous difficulty getting the old on off - it's stuck! - finally uses the saws-all to get it, puts on the new one, shuts the door and guess what? It STILL doesn't shut. Turns out the door is warped just enough to make it too hard for my dd to latch it in the middle of the night. Drats. Foiled again. I suppose next time dh will check it out before taking my word for it? 8-]

So I was going to start doing the friday five from last week. "Fun," I thought, "I can do this. I'll join in." But when I realized all my answers to this latest list would be the same and potty talk at that, I decided to wait until later! Read Ali's and then picture each answer as "pee" and you get the drift. Check out the Friday Five site. Come back and I'll promise to try to keep the potty talk to a minimum!
