Highly Entertaining....

hello, lover

Say hello to my little friend!

So a while back I put the APB out amongst my family and friends that I was in search of a typewriter. A functioning typewriter. Something I could use to enhance my scrap-tastic urges to make things.

Then, out of the blue, I get a myspace message from the uuber fabulous Natasha... she has the goods and she's willing to part with them. I told her that we could totally share custody... when she is in need of the trusty typewriter, just give me the word and I'll send it on it's merry way (joke's on her... I never told her what "the word" would be, so its mine all mine!).

*sigh* I'm in love. Bobio gave it a good cleaning with his air compressor and a lil' grease, and I made a trip to Staples for some fresh ribbon. We're totally rockin' and rollin' with my new friend. It needs a name, but what??

Needless to say I shall be the bane of my family's existence with the incessant click-clacking of the typewriter as I try to be all cool with my letters and such. TRY. TO. BE. COOL. It's all good. The sound mixes well with cartoon network and Seinfeld re-runs.

I think I'll have to stock up on ribbon for my little friend before it completely goes out of style, a la polaroid film... the guy at Staples can totally keep looking at me like I'm a whack job all he wants... I'm text-y and I love it :)

sneaky peaky

A very serious message to relay today...

Parents, talk to your children. There is a serious epidemic that has taken the unwitting lives of so many defenseless children. Watch the video, and talk to your kids today. Don't let them be another victim.

i'm bringing blonde back

yesssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I had a fantastically fantastic appointment to get my hairs did on Tuesday... and told the uuber fabulous Stephanie to blonde me up a bit... Spring fever has hit me HARD.

Needless to say, I'm totally in love with my hair right now. If I could just get it all straight and fancy like it is when I leave the salon, I'd be golden....

Here's to blonde!!!

let it be

I got my scrap on for a few moments this morning...

I sometimes always take things other people say too seriously. I let little comments that were not intended to hurt effect me in ways that I shouldn't.

Myself, I am generally a light-hearted person. I love to laugh and be foolish and have good times with good friends.

Once in a while I think it is good to remind myself that I shouldn't make excuses for the way I do things. Just because my way is a little bit different doesn't make it wrong. Right? ;)

Oh, and I was totally blown away last night by Brooke White's performance on American Idol. She totally owned the song, and did it her own way. That, and the fact that Alison was playing with my hair while a bunch of us were watching the show in the back room at la BBC. I think that if I were ever to find the need to have a lady-friend, I would choose Alison... solely based on her hair-playing-head-scratching skills (don't read too much into that, people... but the girl really does have magic in those little fingertips of hers... my scalp will tell you so itself).

Oh, and Miss Carly Smithson totally rocked my world. Can't leave that lovely lady out...

now thats one fierce hot mess

Project Runway never ceases to entertain/inspire/amuse me.

Last night I was im'ing with Shurkus and she used the phrase "make it work", and I realized she would potentially make a fantastic Tim Gunn. She's NEVER seen the show (and probably never will... she's more of a LOST kinda gal) and really had no idea what I was talking typing about, but at least it maused ME, right?

So, this morning I stumble upon this precious gem from SNL, which I NEVER watch... but it's amazing how they NAILED Christian... so for those of you who have ANY CLUE what I'm talking about... enjoy.

happy birthday to my darling husband!!

... this is the fantastical card that Belle and I made for Bobio for his birthday... isn't it the best!?!?!?!

Yeah, we thought so ;)

Not only is today the 33rd birthday of my dear, sweet, patient, kind, sensitive, humorous, caring, generous, compassionate, cute, cuddly, studly husband....

... it's also the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of our Miss Buttons being an official part of our family. One year ago, Bobio had his best birthday ever when we were able to drive home from Logan Airport with a 4 pound ball of furry love  on his lap. Little did we know that she would really bring us so much joy (and sleepless nights and 2 am trips to the back-yard-potty in 30 degree temperatures and puppy school and destroy-everything-that-is-not-officially-a-toy.... you know what I mean).

Seriously. She fits in so well with the rest of our family... I don't know what we'd do without her... my scrapbook pages would certainly be 100% less cute, thats for sure!

So here is to my super-fantastic-uuber-supportive Bobio, and the super-cute-even-when-she's-getting-in-trouble puppy girl, Belle.

Hip, hip, hooray!

guh-gung, guh-gung, guh-gung

Oh, Patick Swayze. How you forever changed the lives of millions of young impressioinable girls in 1987. Your hungry eyes and the way you let us all want to be like the wind through your tree... and the way you taught us about Spaghetti Arms, and locking our frame... yes, my dance space and your dance space... I'll always remember.

I'll be keeping you and your "nobody puts Baby in a corner" bad-assness in my thoughts. Seriously. What kind of world would it be without Patrick Swayze??

team gonads and such

maybe you faithful blog readers remember this lovely video from a while back...

yes, funny. yes, she still licks her papa to death (and he tries to blame her for losing his hair, but it just ain't so). yes, i hold him down on the couch so she can have her way with him. heheheheheh.

over the weekend, bobio was getting out of the shower and i noticed scratches down his shoulders and back. hmmmmm. i asked him what the scratches were all about, and he had no idea. i asked if his girlfriend was over again while i was at work ( i tease him all the time that i know he has a girlfriend :P). NO! he says. the i realize what the scratches are from. the dog. holding him down on the couch so she can lick his head and face. oh, the sweet wounds of love ;)

as a side note, i had been concerned a few weeks ago when poking around on the 'puter, when i saw a link to a website called teamgonads.com. i was a little disturbed that someone in the house was looking at a website about a team full of gonads. then i clicked the link and realized it was a RC car thing. phew.

i guess the only people i have to be concerned about my husband cheating on me with are a 14 month old, 14 pound dog, and a team full of gonads.

score one for me ;)
