I am reminded of things to be thankful for. At the moment I reach out to whomever via 2 thumbs & 2 bug bites; one for his dinner and one to avenge his pal's murder.
The night is still, the town quiet and the moon; a mere orange shadow.
I am thankful for you, for my sight- touch- smell, the love of family & a few good friends, my little guys... I am thankful for life.
Just a little random vent.

Friday Faves on a Thursday

Just random selfish things this week that made me smile;

Pretty in Pink

looking over some oldies..

I'm proud to announce my boys are...

CUDDLERS!!!

Even though he's way too huge

too old

too everything...

My town

I Love knowing we are smooth in the middle of anything and everything.

Lots of jingly songs, even Arnie's new baby momma lives here.

Free Concerts!

Blaine Larsen... hasn't been heard from in a long time but he is absolutely amazing, uber handsome & really down to Earth.

& going with your best pal you've known your whole life...

Lastly; how awesome

I swear I am alive...

Months and months have passed, I only have a little cluster of following pals, so when in Rome, fall off the face of the Earth...

I Realize that I have felt dead for the better few of those months and only now am I finally ready to feel sunshine again.

I fell in love with a boy some years ago, played ring around the relationship, said boy left March 9, 2011. Yes, I remember the day! 2 1/2 years to the day we met. I remember the fucking day... anywhoooo. I look back on it now & I feel grateful, sparks booming out my ass kind of grateful.. It didn't end on an ugly note, not by any means. We kissed good bye on a Monday, never to speak again.

NOW... I share my new found wisdom.

• I won't be bitter, I shall treasure this knowledge and become a skeptic...
• I could be incredibly pissed off at the man or I could just be thankful. Thankful?? Yes.. Lucky my heart could hold so much emotion, lucky I could love someone far more than I adore myself, lucky at the chance.
• If a person wants out fore they believe there is green grass in there those hills out yonder, go eat that green grass Yak. & choke.
• If your friends call him, "Old Balls" Or "Dinosaur"... if he's 40 & you're 21 when you meet & he stares down your shirt all night, refers to your lady bits as, "Boo-sums"... don't hang on for years to come..

I know now my feelings are on the mend because he's just a memory now & the life we shared seems like a movie.

I have my moments of glory; a certain song, restaurant and driving down certain roads... memories creep up. For the most part, it feels like I've grieved a death.

I went on my tirade, he could never stand for me to nip my hair so when he vanished I had a brilliant stunning idea; I cut two inches off my hair! Oh yeah. I showed him alright. He never saw it & I wound up with some chop job. My graphic designing bfff even offered to make me a whole entire newspaper complete with his fake obit if it would just make me smile.

& Lastly, what made my little trek through Bullshit Ln. a bit more funniez, "Eat, Pray, Love". It taught me that it's okay to miss him. To miss anyone. You have that little moment, feel it for all it's worth, embrace it... then ball it up and send it towards them & drop it. Drop it.

Epic Fail Fix

So I wound up finding this cute little cardstock at Michael's for ninety nine cents...

& I disassembled the mirror... traced the back to insure a good, proper fitting...

& then I found my ammo of choosing... I sprayed the silver really lightly over the picture... not enough to do a color change... just enough for a dewy, shiny look...

I used to ModPodge to adhere to picture to the paper, then I coated it as well to seal it...

Luckily, it dries clear! To further seal and protect it, I sprayed it down with 2 coats of polyurethane, which can be found at any hardware store or department...

Feeling that it still wasn't quite right, I found these charms meant for bracelet making but ultimately, I think it was meant for this...

& Viola! Put it all back together & this is what I have!!

Monkeying Around

Over the course of today, I acquired a new centerpiece, for free... yayness.

Regan came over today and her little girl & my Labrapit enjoyed a fun filled 20 minutes playing tug war with Mav's monkey. She'd hold it and shake it... he'd prance over and snag it from her, walk in a circle around her and drop it off in her lap. Quite the continuous cycle.

Matryoshka measuring

How cute are these!!!! How inspiring as well to go bake some yum yums...

Picture Happy

I went to Michael's today to fix my epic fail, I found the paper that seemed to be the best spouse for my newest idea and while I was there, I found the cutest basket for Sunday picnics for 60% off... making my little find a steal for just $3.00!!

I then came home & my friends baby girl was dressed far too cute to pass up so I pulled out my camera and proceeded to lay belly down in the wet grass, cooing and giggling with her. She was such a good little sport as we posed her and successfully made her smile this megawatt grin. She's soo photogenic, I love it!!
