heck this is more than I make in a month.......... unless there's something funky about it. Hm. Interesting.
johan is REALLY cute and skinny. we're trying to fatten him up.
both babies have chin dimples like Mia. Tindra looks like Johan otherwise. Namine looks like Mia. They both have HUGE blue eyes. Adorable.
oh good grief. no work for me today... or ever again..........
He died while I was in college, so, it’s been a long time. I was helping my mom clean out her basement and came across this picture. We have lots of pictures of him in albums but this one was loose so I snagged it and brought it home.
He was very dignified, and he would have died of shame if he knew my sister named him “Cuddles.”
My avatar is Framboise holding Cuddles. I was thrilled to find one of those little friends pets that was a white cat.
I just saw 3 adorable teenage girls with bad side ponytails. The kind that look like possibly your mother planted some onion seeds in your hair, watered you, and they started to sprout. The bad kind, not the okay kind. They were all so cute, too. I almost said something. But then I thought, well, good to know that even those impossibly adorable teenagers looked stupid, then I felt a little better, and let them go on looking stupid. All 3 of 'em.
OKAY. Note initial placement of said side pony, hidden behind ear with gentle waves. LOW. This is cute.
NOT OKAY. As gorgeous as Jennifer Lopez is, it looks like her ear has some sort of growth spurting off the back of it. And don't get me started on the hat. At LEAST it's not up AS high as we used to wear them.
SO NOT OKAY. Your friend looks as stupid as you do.
REALLY REALLY NOT OKAY. Obvy this is an extreme, but I fear this is where we are headed. I never did this, but there was a girl in my junior high we called "Onionhead." She DID wear them this high, just without the black thing. *shudder*
wondering where, exactly, IS baraboo
why can't they do cool stuff like this in newtown??!?!?!
interesting article on people who are NOT using credit cards.
When I was at Mom's this past weekend, my aunt (her sister) came up to see how we were doing. Aunt Belle is so awesome. She's smart, sharp, witty, and sarcastic. It was raining, and she was wearing this dumb hat. I said "nice hat" and she said (sharply, of course), "I'm going fishing." ROFL!
Anyway, she said she read that in 1970, people spent 70% of their salary. Now, people spend 120%. In other words - credit cards, loans, etc. I thought that was interesting, to see it in numbers like that. Yikes. Actually I would be interested in further research on this topic in general but don't know where to start. I'm convinced that the dollar just doesn't GO as far as it used to, so, in part, some of my monetary situation truly isn't my fault (although to be honest with myself, MOST of it of course, IS my fault). Maybe I'm making that feeling up, but... aren't you supposed to spend only 33% on your rent or mortgage? Mine is 66%. And I do not live in taj mahal. Anyway.
My grandparents never bought ANYTHING on credit. If they didn't have the money, they didn't get it. Boy I wish I could do that. I mean - I CAN do that, of course, it's just a matter of being disciplined enough TO do that. I've been thinking about money a lot lately, and how much stuff I buy that I just simply don't need. I'm trying really hard to change that.
It's normal and acceptable to us to have some CC debt. Everybody has it. You want it that badly? Just get it, you can pay it off later.
There's some Allstate commercial that says that during/after a recession, people start realizing (for a while at least) that they really CAN get by with less and going back to simpler pleasures. Do you REALLY need 4 TVs in the house? Do you REALLY need that new video system when the one you got is only 1.5 years old?
Which brings me to muse about how we interact now. Can't you just go for a cup of coffee with a friend instead of sitting home by yourself playing some online game and not ACTUALLY interacting with other people? I'm completely guilty of this; I do go to my knit club on Tuesday nights, but other than that, I don't have ANY local friends to invite over or just kind of hang out with. Everybody has kids, everybody's too busy, nobody has time. You DO have time, the truth is, you don't MAKE the time. I'd darken poor Lolly's doorstep a lot more than I do now if she lived closer (she's an hour away).
Gah. LOL. Work is slow so I had the time to type all this junk up. So.... those of you who DO have local friends, spend time with them. Instead of hanging out by yourself at home, go to their house or have them over to yours. Just sit around and do nothing, but revel in the fact that you have real human one-to-one interaction with your fellow man.
it doesn't really matter, though, like I said, although the smoke smell is in the wood part of the lamp a little bit. it's bigger than I thought it was; the amberina globes are huge. it is the schizzle. I can't wait to re-do the room and find a real place for it.
I think I should take it somewhere to have it re-wired though.
I will call and sing into your answering machine later. WOOOOT
it's really not so bad. we worked really hard all weekend and made a TON of progress.
thanks to all who posted about the Cruel Crewel pictures -- I am not yet confident in what I should do, as I've had a lot of differing opinions. Going to try to call a museum (seriously) and ask for the textiles department and ASK. hm.
After Pinky and the Brain flooded my mom's ginormous basement, lookit what they did. Water damage on 3 crewel pieces my Gramie made. Pics below.
Gramie (Frailey, mom's mom) is the one who taught me how to knit and crochet. She hated to do crewel and called it "cruel." She thought that was the funniest joke. Needless to say these are precious to me. She died 3 years ago.
I cried when I saw this. But I have hope. Crewel thread is wool, yes? And the stuff on the back is linen I think? Can these be dismantled then laundered? Dry-cleaned? The water damage is fairly new, but the company hired to remedy said water damage put heaters and huge blowers around, so, these were dried and I'm also afraid the stain might be dried in.
this week sucked, but this guy's blog really made me smile.
momma brought back... something... I think it's a bird and they are all eating!!!
Real-life Superhero Helps out Cincinnati
*mad giggles*
I find this utterly hysterical... especially after watching a few episodes of "Who wants to be a superhero" which left me laughing so hard I cried.
happy birthday MIA, I hope you have a good birthday!!
just won this most groovy 70s pole light off ebay. I'm going to re-do my family room around this light, yes, I am.
I love it. WOOOT
OH MAN .. just read the tail end of the address and you'll get a hint of what you're about to see. **mad giggling ensues**
