Bless Your Heart

Pugs are taking over the world! Muhahaha! It is true, they started with my house, and now they are appearing in “>soap, tv shows- Mimi La Rue is a constant cast member on Tori Spelling’s show So NoTORIous (which I love by the way), everywhere. This picture is a photo of a picture I saw in a model home today. They’re even taking over decorating! The LA Times even wrote an article about how fashionable they are. We are constantly seeing them in commercials lately. I’m not sure why my beautiful Kea hasn’t been discovered for tv or movie fame yet, but I suppose her time is coming.

I trusted you. I texted the word VOTE to Chris Daughtry’s number and I thought you would too. I’m shocked. Shocked and appalled. I recorded AI so I could zip through to the end. My mom called before I’d seen the results and just said she was so shocked. I though surely, they must have sent Katherine or Taylor home. Elliot was (I thought) the obvious choice. He’s good, but not AI material if you ask me. I honestly thought Seacrest was on drugs when he said Chris. I’ve lost all interest in this show now.
Oh Chris, you were so close. You can still come sing for me!

My nephews spent this last weekend with my mom. She was giving them a bath and my 16 yr old sister was helping out. My mom decided that it was a good time to teach Morgan a lesson about boys. So she picked Joey up and made sure his dangly bits were in clear view and said “You see this? It doesn’t get any prettier! It gets stinkier and sweatier and hairier!” I’m fairly sure Morgan won’t want to lay eyes on another one of those for a looooong time.

I have learned that you people like for things to match. So while creating my latest batch of jewelry for Bellatini I made sure to make lots of bracelets to match earrings. Necklaces are in the works. I’m also trying my hand at making cutie pie rings. This is one of them. They are adjustable. Now skooch on over to my store and shop away!

My step-dad to be’s name is Hale. He’s pretty cute, even my girlfriends think he’s hot for a grandpa. So now he’s not only known as Papa to the kids, but Hot as Hale. Anyway HaH was showing us some slides he found today and we came across this picture of him scuba diving as a young teenager (around 14) in the Bahamas. They took the picture through the window of a glass bottom boat. And I took a picture of the slide being projected on the wall. Check out that head breathing helmet rig! I swear to you, I thought those things only existed in cartoons, movies, and fish tanks!

Today Susan and Miss Olivia came over then we met up with my mom and my nephews at my mom’s house. All of us, including a neighbor girl, trucked down to the town festival called Fest-i-fun. That name cracks me up. We’d never been, and it was really cute. But our town is really small, so it was fest-i-over in about 30 minutes. Then we had lunch and took all the kids home for naps. Miss O and JoJo are so sweet together. They are only 5 days apart in age (she’s the older woman) so I feel like they are destined to be in love. Or at least date. He’d feed her and they’d just stare at each other. So cute. Jake is pretty sweet on Olivia himself.
Jon and I caught a wee nap ourselves. He’d been up all night making sausage with our BIL. Those boys and their meat & cheese hobby. After our nap Jon and I watched the Kentucky Derby with his parents. I was rooting for Deputy Glitter cause, well, come on, his name is Deputy Glitter. Then we went to 5 Guys for dinner. Yummy. Fantastic food and the staff wears Crocs so what’s not to love? We then headed to St*rbucks for apres dinner Green Tea Frappucinos. I love the new Blackberry one they have for this summer. We chatted about the upcoming election (my FIL is a chief justice and must get re-elected). I’m hoping we can ride in a parade or two. I’ve got my parade wave ready!

You and a guest are cordially invited to a Pampered Chef Brunch at my house this Saturday. With Mother’s Day approaching and all the mothers in my family being PC fans, it just made sense to have a party. I’m hoping to get enough sales so I can score some Mother’s Day presents for free! That might be a little sneaky, but when you’re in the middle of a month full of birthdays, have a HUGE money sucking adoption and another money sucking project going on, AND have to prepare for your mom’s out of town wedding, you do whatcha gotta do. If you won’t be in my area Saturday but would like to order (and why wouldn’t you? They have a TON of fabulous new products!) Just click here and you can shop online. Enter in my name as the host please. (email me for my last name if you don’t have it.) But if you would like to come, wear something pink and you might just win a prize!

I do have something to say. Lost is on tonight and I have questions. I’d really like to talk to the writers. I totally get that it is a fantasy show and I have no problem with the cloud monster or any of that. It’s the common sense things that get on my nerves, like:
-Why is there not a line of people wanting to sleep in the hatch? Sand mites and sleeping on the ground vs the hatch is a no brainer to me!
-Why is there not a line of people taking showers at the hatch?
-Why is it that something happens to Kate for instance and she doesn’t tell Jack for like 2 episodes? What do these people have to do other than talk to each other? Wouldn’t everyone know everything about each other by now?
-Where did all these blue tarps come from that people built their huts out of? Was there a tarp salesman on the plane?
-Why is there no sex? A bunch of good looking people on an island with no hope of rescue running around in the heat in tattered clothes after a trauma should equal hot monkey jungle sex.

I got tagged by Amanda to do this meme, and it’s a good thing as I’m suffering from Blogger’s Block. I have a lot to tell you about, but this being the world wide web and all I have to censor so many things. Pooh.

Miss Molly can already climb up and down the stairs. She’s a determined and tenacious little girl. She uses her voice to communicate with us all the time. And she licks, sweet monkey knuckles does she lick. No face is safe from this pug and her licker. And she’s already learned from her brother and sister that the best seat in the house is the back of the sofa. (click to enlarge photo)
