Eggs

This is Eggs by Sanman Originals (it is a freebie www.sanmanoriginals.com)and it was stitched for my son's teacher. She was so good to him this year so I wanted to give her something special. I know that she likes my crafts so I figured why not stitch! As I was stitching this I was looking at the birds. Now, is it a chicken or a rooster? A chicken would have the eggs and the chick but then the rooster would have the plume and the waddle. So I have decided to call it a Ricken LOL. I think I am going to mount this on a basket if I can find the right size. I thought about framing it but, to tell the truth, I just don't feel like trying to find the frame and maybe even a mat for it. It is already late because the last day of school was June 15th but I did make it a point to get her address.

My Theme Song

Your Theme Song is Fight for Your Right by the Beastie Boys

"Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?" Aw, mom you're just jealous - it's the Beastie Boys!" You love to party hard and cause a little trouble... And you're too busy getting wasted to move out of your parents' house!

NO - He didn't come with a saddle!

Wanted to introduce you all to the lastest member of our family. His name is Atreyu. The name comes from the movie The Neverending Story. He is a Fila Brasiliero or Brazilian Mastiff. Right now he is just a pup at about 6 months. He was found wondering the streets not too far from my house and we couldn't find the owner. The first night I found that I wouldn't have returned him anyway. There are major indications of abuse. He has a new scar on the back of his neck and it looks like it is from being tied up with a collar that was too small. He also flinches at just about any movement. He is very well mannered, especially for such a young guy. He is house trained and doesn't drag us down the street when we walk him. My 8yo can actually walk him with no problem. I'm breaking him of eating trash so we empty the bag every night and he also likes the cats food so we have to watch that and pick it up. He has gotten very playful the past two days and even picked out a new toy at Petsmart today all on his own. We weighed him today and he is a hefty 81.5 lbs! He is only about 1/2 of his full grown size so I have a feeling that I'm going to need a bigger house very soon LOL Hmmmm, he must be sleeping...I can hear him snoring LOL Oh and as you can see from the pic....he has a drooling problem after drinking. We have been mopping the floor up alot and he has his own towel. I just tell him "Come here and clean your face" and he comes over and lets me dry him.

French Country Rabbit

This kit was sent to me by my Aunt. I was going to stitch and give it to her but there was a turn of events and she no longer deserves it so I'm giving it to my grandmother for Easter. It is by Dimensions and is one of those crappy no count stitch kits. Don't like those kits and hate having to "fix" it by putting 1/4 stitches in 14ct aida. He is a cutie and I did more of the outlining in pencil around him since their sketch was really light.

My Wendy's trip

Last week I didn't feel like cooking so I was going to take the kids for fast food. The boys got called to a bday party and were going to eat there so I took my daughter to Wendy's. We went thru the drive thru and bought two burger meals. I got as far as the parking lot across the street and noticed that the burgers didn't have bacon as we ordered so I turned around and took them back. They apologized and gave us 2 new burgers. Before leaving the window I checked the first burger and it was good so we went home. I get home and give my daughter her burger. I then open my burger to find that there was NO BURGER! It has lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon and even cheese! No Burger! Now how the hell do you make a burger and forget the burger???? So now I'm pissed. Back to the car and back to Wendy's. This time my fat butt is going in the store to bitch. I walk in and slam my bag on the counter and tell them this is the 3rd time I'm coming to get the food I ordered. The manager must have seen me from the door and ran over to take care of my complaint. He apologized profusely and ordered me to more burgers. This time he stood there and watched the person make my burgers and asked me if I had fries with my order. I told him that they were at home so he gave me two orders of fresh fries. I get home and my daughter says "Mom, the fries don't have salt, how did they forget the salt?" I turned to her and said "Salt????How the hell do they forget the burger on my burger!!!!!" I think salt was the least of the problem! I swear this stupid crap only happens to me. I can however laugh at myself and I still wonder if that is healthy or not LOL

Another finish today

Cashing in on finish number 4 for the year so far. This little guy is Spot of Tea by Dragon Dreams. It is a freebie you can print out from www.dragondreams.com Going thru my charms I found the little teabag charm and decided it would be cute hanging from the S.

Finish #3 for 2006

This is Tea Time by Mill Hill from their Spring Simple Treasures series. It will be mounted on the little cardboard box that came with it but not until after I paint the box since it is just cardboard colored. I started this little guy so long ago but I know it was after 1999. When I ordered it, it came with the little box crushed. I contacted the LNS and she let me keep the damaged one and sent me a new one. Well, in moving it all over (to keep the perforated paper flat I didn't store it with all my others.) I ended up losing the beads so the second kit came in handy.

Wanna See my favorite band?

FIND THE REAL (LIVE) (Alter Bridge)

Video Code provided by VideoCodeZone.Com

Does anyone remember Creed? Well, I love the lead guitarist. Not only is he eye candy but he plays outstanding. Creed broke up a couple of years ago, they brought back the bass player, recruited a new lead singer and renamed themselves Alter Bridge. I have been to both of their Philly concerts and yes, even at the ripe old age of 32 I was standing right up front on the left watching Mark Tremonti play every note. I even waited out back after both concerts to get autographs and signatures. The first time I couldn't stay long enough to see Mark come out but the second time I waited over 45 mins in the cold and having to pee until I got this pic.



Right now they have stopped touring (after almost 2yr straight) and they are starting to record a new album. You can bet I'll be there again as soon as they come thru town!

Are you ready for another "Out of the Mouth of Babes"?

Another priceless story popped into my mind. hmmmmmm....how do I start this one??? Ok, Alex was about 3 years old. Anyone that has had a 3yo son knows that they tend to touch themselves ALOT!!!! Well, let's just say that my two sons did enough for them and then if anyone didn't touch themselves enough then don't worry cause my sons probably touched themselves enough to make up the national average. Most times you ask if they have to pee. At the age of three they aren't always making it to the bathroom in time if playing or watching a "must see" show like Barney or Telly Tubbies UGH.

One particular night I'm just at the bottom of the steps and notice that my son Alex was standing in front of the TV and holding himself. Naturally, I tell him to go to the bathroom. Apparently, the show was better and he didn't hear me so I tell him again. He then tells me that he doesn't have to go. So I tell him to get his hands off of himself then. (and how many times a day does this scenario play out? I lost count).

Well, not thinking about it anymore, 2 minutes later he tells me and I quote:

"Mom, you know what I was holding myself?"

Why?

"Cause it's so looooonnnggg"

Well, I almost fell out of the chair! I had to turn around and stiffle the whooping laughter that was coming from somewhere in my intestines. What do you say to that? I said "O.K." ROFLMAO!

The picture in my head you ask? Oh God, 3 years old and I can already see him and the preschoolers lined up in the bathroom during break and measuring up like the big boys. I'm thinking, I know times have changed but COME ON!!!!!!

So my advice on something like that? Walk away and stiffle the laughter in a towel in the next room! You don't want to egg them on LOL
