Kayla Lay La-

• She just licked the frosting off the spatula I had licked about 15 min ago.... SUCKA!! jk I told her after the fact and she wasn't too concerned.
• We are neighbors in the sense that she lives in the room next to me
• She takes care of Gucci a lot and doesn't complain even though I ALWAYS complain about her scary cat. (I SWEAR he HATES me)
• She always gets "What would you do-o-o for a Klondike Bar" stuck in my head
• She looks like Pocahontas
• She plays Barbie with me in the sense that she lets me paint her toes, dress her up and experiment with her hair
• She gives great hugs
  

It's slim pickins out there..........

This should be.....

This should be a post about my AWESOME day yesterday including running and tigers.... but I'm waiting on some pictures... and it should also be about how work starts tomorrow and how EXCITED I am..... but I will wait till I've seen my kiddies. So instead I will say...
I fixed the ruined section of the scarf I was knitting. So I am well on my way to being 1/4th of the way done!! WOOT WOOT. I may very well finish it by the time it gets colder. :)

Get Your Hand Off Your Face

Or I think this is what Michaela wrote to Tyler on our Toilet Paper letter. Yeah I'll wait so you can re-read that..... Now that you are sure that it actually did say Toilet Paper letter I'll explain.... we (Michaela, Carissa and I) decided to send Tyler a roll of Toilet Paper that was filled with pictures, lists of things we'll do when he gets back, quotes and such. It was SOOO much fun!!

Rissa - super into the activity

Michaela finishing up the end of the roll....

Tyler loves Chuck Norris jokes...

Yep Psych and Phineas and Ferb made it onto the letter

I'd just finished Catching Fire..... and Psych was on later...

Really proud of my response to Michaela's song quote.....

Tracing Rissa's foot

Writing "Rissa has faith in every footstep" Man I crack myself up....

Like at the beginning of the roll I wrote, "Hear Ye Hear Ye, Do not wipe with this...."
Why must I be such a dork??

The Family, Thanks Rissa for giving me a pink shirt and the only girl to wear a skirt!! YAY!!

Trying to pose exactly like the picture Rissa drew!!

TYLER GETS HOME IN LESS THAN A MONTH!! YAY!!!

Favorite Statue

Winged Victory

This is a statue in the Louvre, ever since my Art History class in High School I have loved this statue. I love art and greek mythology so this statue combines those two. This is Athena Nike; Goddess of Victory. I don't know why she is my favorite Goddess, everyone who knows me knows I'm SERIOUSLY lacking in the athletic department. For some reason this has also pulled me, the artist really has a way of showing how powerful she is and I just really want to be like that. Someone that emanates power.

Common Courtesy??

What the HECK!! Does ANYONE know how to behave in a theater anymore?? If you pull out your phone I CAN SEE THE LIGHT!! You may tip it towards you but the light is like a beacon for all to see. Another thing... I don't mind loud laughing or the occasional comment but whole conversations in a normal or LOUD voice.... NOT COOL!! I am losing faith in the human race.

Stroller Envy

So I've started taking my nephew Talon on walks every morning after his Momma leaves for work. It's a great way to start our day and by the time we get back he is ready for his morning nap. Here comes the problem - the stroller we use is from back when my 14 and 15 year old sisters were little. Yeah it's old. The wheels are close together meaning I have to watch where I place my feet or I'm constantly hitting them, they also are very sensitive. Say the wrong thing and those wheels burst into tears... ;) ok not really but forget ever taking him for a jog in that thing - the sensitivity of the wheels means you push too fast and it veers any which way. (here is the snob in me now.. it's not cute because well it was made in the early 90's) I walk by all these parents with their new jogger strollers that are clean and streamlined, and out comes that green monster. (not the one in Boston) Oh well we are only going for walks until summers over.
