Funny-even with the cussing

This blog rarely updates, but if you want a good laugh click here and I think you will LOVE this gas station story. I did, but then again it may be because I am up at 1:13 in the morning with nothing better to do. Insomnia sucks.

Sharing is good

I have discovered a new blog tonite that has some totally kick butt scrapbooking/craft projects that I want to share with you! Head on over to follow the green fairy and give your eyes a little treat.
Also, has anyone else fallen in love with this company called Hambly Screen Prints? I think their stuff is really hip and I hope some of our local stores get the owl and bird stuff in soon. I would love to see it in person. You can check them out at www.hamblyscreenprints.com and they also have a blog you can link to from the site.
Have a happy weekend!

For the love of Meat loaf-and I don't mean the food your mom used to cook

I am "borrowing" this post from another blog...you must check out this blog anyways if you have not already- pop culture junk mail.

Horror-ible
Wikipedia really does have everything, including this super-creepy and super-long list of gory movie deaths, sorted by implement.A blender in the mouth? Decapitated by a jinxed branch? Death by ice cube filled with nanobots? Yikes. However, it's kind of funny to me that several of the deaths happen to singer Meat Loaf. Gives new meaning to "I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that."

I think all of the Kemp BBQ attendee's can appreciate this one!

I hear Vegas calling!

Our friend Kellie is back from France...yay! Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures and all that jazz. I may even have to book a spa day with her at Nordies downtown Seattle.
So all of us are gearing up for the big Vegas trip, it is hard to believe that the time has actually gone by as fast as it has. September will be here before we know it. Vegas won't know what hit it, after all of us girls (plus a couple of extremely brave men) arrive! Kellie is doing some leg work on the tickets and hotel arrangements for us. Will it be upper-class Bellagio style? Or the high quality of the lowest quality hotels- The Golden Nugget? (is that place still around?) . Wherever we rest our heads it is going to be the trip of a lifetime...until the next one. Chicago anyone? OH and by the way, Mark and will not be renewing our vows Elvis style this time...way too expensive! That will have to be a 15 year anniversary treat :)
Off to watch Will and Grace on Lifetime t.v. for women .

I just do what Oprah tells me to do!

Usually a huge fan of the Oprah book club selections for reading, I have to admit that lately I have not LOVED what is on her list. It may just be me, my mood, the way the wind is blowing...whatever! So I am going to you, my faithful blog readers...and you looky loo's too. I need some suggestions for reading. No Fabio style romance novels please. An old fav, or something new, I am open to hearing what you have to say.

Here is where I do my public service announcement

For those of you who don't know I am now in charge of the box tops for education program
at my kids Elementary school. If you do not know about this program, then you should check it out online. I would love for you to save your box top coupons, as this program helps provide a ton of stuff for the kids (field trips, new instruments -to name a few). If you go online and register you can also get grocery coupons and hey-who doesn't like to save a buck here or there? I would be more than happy to receive your coupons if you are willing to save them for us! Thanks!

Fun in the sun

Last Saturday we headed up to the Kemp's for a BBQ. They have a beautiful view of the Puget sound (they live in Stanwood, Washington) from their back deck. Alan K., also known as Bizarro Al because we have two friends name Alan K., grilled up the burgers, dogs and corn and we ate until we were stuffed. Our standard party game, Cranium Pop 5, was brought out and we played a round, which was super fun as usual. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy! Orange shirt club rules! And so does Mark's Madonna impression.
