Tangled indeed

seems the inter web is a small place indeed. I've just run into another old friend by way of pesky blogs, whom I haven't seen since 9th grade and now lives in Cali. Hello, C!

As a lifelong "good girl" (no laughing!), I have to admit an unyielding curiosity to some things that I will never be personally privy to. Enter a girl known as Diablo Cody. I met her long ago on a site, and have read her blog as faithfully as I know how for some time now. She tickles me to no end, mainly because I know no one else like her, and her way with words is, well, nothing short of shockingly funny. You may have seen her on David Letterman recently, since she's just published her first book, Candy Girl. She's also written a screenplay, and doing interviews and book signings right and left. Congrats, Brook! You've told me more than I ever could have asked, made me laugh and blush, and you rock!

My good friend Brandy is going to Denver today to the fertility clinic for screening to be a surrogate mother. Good luck Brandy!

Evian Turd Flu

That's what I'm calling it. Evian as in "can't drink or look at water or I'll yak" and...well, you understand the rest.

The boys have it again. They just love to share! Normally I'd be proud of that fact. There's nothing quite as precious as two adorable blond boys puking and stinking up a house. 426 loads of laundry later, and I think we've beat it. At least, I hope so. The only thing more adorable than the two blond boys would be 165 pounds of man baby puking as well. Let's hope and pray he doesn't catch it either.

There's hope, seeing as how he was gone most of the week at a finance conference at this place. He had a great time, and I even joined him one night. It was sweet heaven. 4.5 star resort, room service, meals and drinks free (well, paid for), no kids...I took a nap and then made use of the indoor pool, gym and sauna. I was probably one of the few people there under 40 (the other two being hubby and his boss), but it was still fun. I'm thinking that you don't really go to Greensboro for any other reason than to go to a conference. The hotel was mainly conference rooms, huge ones. Oh, and shop for furniture. But the golf course was beautiful and the spa...awesome. I got treated to a facial and hung out for a bit talking to my facialist about FL. Turns out she lived 2 miles past Hurlburt Field, and we used to live 3. Go figure! Regardless of where she was from, she gave a hell of a facial. I still have movie star skin. Reed and I ate and were glamorous and fabulous the whole time. LOL

I got my report card and...drumroll please...I've a 4.0. I've always been a smart ass. Gotta say though, getting good grades with kiddos around is hard work (say that with the George Bush voice..."Hard Work"). Huge kudos to anyone trying it while actually working as well. I get tired just thinking of that.

Good Times

had to post this pic in order to upload it elsewhere, so you guys are subjected to yet another pic of me and man boy. sorry.

Pure Determination...Yep, that's him.

I've done a few more layouts lately, and I'm getting in a rut. I like the simpler styles, but sometimes that means repeating what I've already done. and again. I need to look for new ideas. Anyway, here are a few...

this was the first time I got crazy with a picture, although you can't really tell from the photo. I bent it up and scratched it on the edges and then inked it. I just wanted to. I also inked the edges of the letters and cardstock with the same mocha color. It was fun.

do you see my rut? horizontal strips across the bottom, top, or middle. That's all. Ugh. I guess I'm a plain jane.

My last post was too long. It was hard to read! I got over zealous, I suppose.
Not much time today, I just wanted to congratulate my sister in law, Alisa for a job well done! Woohoo! I hope you feel better soon!
