Yep, for those of you who didn't think I would like scrapbooking (including myself) you are wrong! I had a great time doing it today and I am looking forward to doing it again.I will admit though, it is very easy because mom has done 98% of the hard stuff for me. I am intimidated about doing the backgrounds etc. Currently, I just have to fill in the pictures.
The following conversation happened yesterday between the sales girl at the Beauty Salon and Jane:Jane picks up the Kiss Me mascara and goes to pay:Sales Girl: Here's a makeup removal productJane Says: I don't need anySales Girl: You don't?Jane Says: With the Kiss Me Mascara you don't need anything, it's the best product!Sales Girl: I can't afford itJane Says: You know, with the kiss me mascara you can put it on and go camping for 3 days and it will stay on the whole timeSales Girl: Hmm, well I am going camping next weekend. Maybe I will get some.
Today, my dad was doing some gardening in the front yard. He showed me the instructions that were on the packaging. They read as follows:1. Dig a Hole2. Place Bulb in Hole3. Cover With Dirt
Today, Pritesh sent me this article and stated that maybe he finally should start watching 24. Of course I would applaud this decision! So then, I read the article. Too funny! Basically the article states that the best way for dealing with these AIG bonuses is by having Obama call Jack. Jack would then trick the executives into meeting with him to get more money and then coerce them all into giving the money back and working for minimum wage.
So I was not an SPG, an expediter, or a server. I didn't wear flair or participate in liquor sales contests. I have friends (you know who you are) who lived the Friday's legacy.
Is that legacy really so good that we have to make a meat bi-product with the TGIF label? Is this chicken jerky or just a really bad snack?

Sydney has this DVD called "Praise Baby". The DVD includes slow transitions of nature, children, animals, other people and toys and it is all done to Sunday school type praise music. It's great, I think I love it just as much as she does. (I think David is pretty tired of it).
Anyway, there are certain people or figures that remind me of other people/things in my life. So we are going to play a game. Match up the screen shots with the list below. (There is a small letter in the top left corner of each picture. Answers will be posted in a couple of days:Rachel Edwards, Sydney, Cousin Christie, Nemo, Mom, Laura who is Jane, David, Joshua, Queen B, Jane who is Laura, Herston, Tony Williams, Woman whose face bugs me 










Back in January, I wrote about the stray stroller that I saw one morning abandoned on the side of Altadena Drive. I commented that we probably wouldn't find anymore of these abandoned strollers but within 24 hours I received the follow-up photo below from Jeff. This stroller was found abandoned on a San Francisco street.I would love to add an abandoned stroller from Arizona, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky.......yes, consider it a challenge.P.S. And just to make sure you Californians aren't left out. Would love to find one in San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Orange, Kern, San Luis Obispo, Tulare, Ventura, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Merced, San Joaquin, Yolo, Sutter, Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Tehama, Shasta, Sisikyou, Mariposa, Yuka, Nevada, Solano, Sonoma, Tuolumne, and the other ones near Sacramento that are too small to read on the map I have. I'll take one from Reno and Vegas too.
Kim (Sounding totally exasperated) says to Larry: Man, this is so frustrating!Larry: WhatKim: Well I keep cleaning out my email and then more come in!Larry: Thats kind of how it works.....(This is not what I meant to say)
Yay!!!! We are back on the same time as Phoenix. Goodbye to the 7:30AM Meeting....Goodbye to the 7:00AM Flight.....until November.
My favorite fast food item in high school was from Carls Jr and it (or they) was called Junior Crisp Burritos. Carl's stopped selling them in the early 90's and I have missed them ever since! They came in a pack of 3 or 5 and were soooooo very good. I could have lived off em. Last week I noticed that Carl's Jr was advertising "Crisp Burritos" and they looked the same! I was so excited to try them. The other day I gave Andrew my ATM card and told him to go get them (He
agreed as long as I bought him lunch too) . Andrew came back, I took a great big bite of the first one and........ I said to mom and Andrew, "If this was the taste why did I like them so much?" I can't tell you if it is the same taste or not but if it is, it's no longer a food I can't live without.Look at that, two fast food posts in a row......
This was the best treat when I was a kid! Available only at McDonalds and in the great month of March are Shamrock shakes. Growing up you couldn't get a mint shake anywhere but there and only March 1-17th. Of course, nowadays, you can pick up a mint shake at any number of places (and they are usually better) but every March I return to McDonalds and get at least one Shamrock shake. Mmmmmm, I'm lovin it!
Yesterday, Andrea blogged asking everyone what their theme song was. I responded that I didn't have one but if I had to pick one it would probably be "Sweet Child of Mine". I have always loved that song and when asked about a theme song I usually say that. Does it fit me? Should I pick something else? Any Suggestions? "We are the Champions" from Queen is also fitting.....
Does anybody out there have any copper pots? I am amazed by the fact that people buy these. What makes them so great, except that they are made of copper? I saw the pot below at Tuesday Morning's the other day, it was literally the size of my shoe and it was onsale-yes onsale, for $149.00. It was so small that I can't imagine what could be cooked in it. Maybe a fried egg, like the ones that go in the Egg McMuffin's at McDonalds would fit in it. The regular price was over $200.00. I don't get it, does anybody?
I had grand plans for Jenn Ann's birthday post. I was luckily enough to join my HCBC friend for lunch tonight (along with Rachel and the Pickle) and I was planning on taking pictures at lunch and sharing them here......well, that didn't happen because the conversation at the table was so stimulating (24, aliens, the Bachelor, mini-vans) that I forgot to take the pictures!!!!!
Anyway, I want Jenn Ann to know how much I appreciate her friendship and how I am that I was able to see her today. Happy Birthday, Jenn! You Rock!!!
Sydney likes to chew on her feet. Socks impede this.
It would never enter the minds of 99.9% of us to jump or climb between the tram cars at Disneyland. But if you are in .1% (or less) of the people that would consider actually doing this would you decide not to when you saw the sign that instructed you not to?
Can't you just hear the conversation:Jenn Ann: Kim, you go firstKim: OK, Hold SydneyJenn Ann: Got herKim: Here I go!Jenn Ann: Wait, look the sign says we can'tKim: Darn Jenn, You're such a rule follower.....
