oh bestill my beating heart....

It's been a busy weekend...I reorganized and "studio-fied" my craft area (I'll take some pictures tomorrow) now I feel all offical-like and organized....not much else to report.

I spent this morning mocking my mil's new "fanny pack" - I told her she has to wear it in the front and give a pelvic thrust whenever she meets a nice looking lady...and it was recently decided by my son and I that I would have an NC 17 rating if I were a movie (due to strong language and underlying sexual content) (LGK points out that I even drop f-bombs at farmer's market!! I need to get a handle on that)

Anyhoo...wasn't going to do any blogging today because we're gathering the fam for movie night but this caught my eye on Yahoo music news and I just had to share....Clay-mates rejoice!!

"OK, faint-of-heart/stomach readers, we hope you're sitting down for this doozy: Clay Aiken is going to be a father. Of a baby. A baby being carried by a woman. A woman named...Jaymes. "

but frankly I fail to see why this would be surprising after seeing this photo...

It's fun to stay at the.....

today's kewl thing(z)...

Not a day goes by that I don't find something kewl on this here interweb...since I've become involved in etsy.com I am constantly inspired by my fellow artists/crafters...

I came across this guy by accident when googleimagesearching "crayons"

He also does really wierd organic looking "inaction figures"...he lists the materials for this as "polymer clay and prozac"

And I'm not a fan of gardening (what with the outside and the dirt and the pollen) but I could become a fan of Gorilla Gardening

One of my favorite stories was about a Portland woman who made a Mercedes symbol (in front of the nation's oldest Mercedes dealership) into a peace sign!

And it stayed there for over 3 weeks...

PEEPS!!!

Introducing Molly's birthday present......Peeps!

Molly says she looks like a brown rat that got dipped in white chocolate (and she has a little "drip" of white on her head) Girl and Rat have bonded very thoroughly and quickly...

The Cat is morbidly intrigued though, so...for the first time in ever, my daughter is sleeping with her bedroom door closed to keep Peeps safe. She still sleeps on the floor as she has for over a year now... but at least she's not halfway in the hallway....turning 8 is quite a milestone!

funny...I was just lamenting the amount of aerosol cans we have out on our deck (you wouldn't believe the amount of spraypaint we go through in this house between LGK and my many projects) it looks like an entire gang of taggers has taken residence on our patio...but I thought to myself: "self, those don't seem like the kind of thing you should just put in the regular trash...."
then...lo and behold I received a flier in my emai this morning for a hazmat waste collection day next week. kewl


if you don't live in the area...you should check and see if your area has a similiar event.

ferret love...

Meet Malcolm (Reynolds) and Sly (Stallone)

my lovely friend Ashley's ferret friends and the two cutest mustelids I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. They came to market last weekend...and the little old lady thought they were "from Mars" - she'd never seen such a thing!!!! (she also thought Ashley was my daughter...but that's another rant for another day)

speaking of small mammals...tomorrow is my baby girl's 8th birthday!?!?!?!?!?!?! She's got her day all planned out...and it will include a trip to grandma's to bake her cake (an orange bundt cake in the shape of a chrysanthemum); a trip to the coffee shop for "kaffe klatch"; presents; and baked potatoes for dinner. Her actual party - "the party of cheese" will be Saturday after market. Festivities/activities will include: pinata whacking (we got a clown head pinata, couldn't find Dora the Exporer - she really wanted to whack Dora...very disappointing) Hangman, icecream making (in the soccer ball ice cream maker) a jungle themed tea party, silly hats and cheese....lots and lots of cheeeese (I do like a nice Wendsleydale Grommit)

and yes, I have decided to start counting WW points again....after her party....

WTF HAPPENED????

to spring!?!?!? it was 98 effin'g degrees today! I got a sunburn at market, I think I have heatstroke (my brain feels a bit like a dehydrated pea rolling around in my cranium)...by the time we got home in the heat, the $5 worth of crickets that we bought were about .50 cents (the other $4.50 - apparantly 'sploded in the heat) and Obama didn't come to the market :(
phooey
I'm going to go drown my sorrows with some Buffy now....
