Test Tomorrow

UPDATE: I have had quite a few of you ask HOW was this even done? Dried spaghetti inserted into sliced hot dogs and boiled. Simple. Must you ask? Yes, of course I saw it on teh internets.
This is what happens to your family's dinner when you should be preparing for a test the next day. You really don't wanna study anymore, so you think up excuses for doing something um, different:To Gary and Henry: my sincerest apologies for attempting to serve this to you. While it was fun to make, it was highly unappetizing! Although I understand completely why Henry didn't eat it; I was a just a little caught off guard when Gary yelled that he would not eat it (not with a house, not with a mouse). And it was only when Biscuit-the-cat ran away that I fully understood the insane bat-sh_t crazy thing I had done.
(This is what was served instead: gary-grilled chicken legs along with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and green peppers.)

Forgive me? Please?

Easter Tradition

Every year after the

Easter bunny hoopla, Henry somehow

smash a
confetti egg
on top of his head.






Every.
Single.
Year.

Tempo Modification

Several of you are unaccustomed to listening to music whilst surfing. Or, perhaps, you don't care for my choice of music. Whatever your issues are, I am feeling agreeable and will modify my musical selections for the time being. NOT having music is not an option, so I have chosen what I deem appropriate for the term:
A section of one of VIVALDI's The Four Seasons concertos -
"SPRING (La Primavera)" movement 3: Allegro"
followed by all movements of The Four Seasons- "SPRING (La Primavera)". My reasons for rationing are my own; however, if you are so inclined, you can skip forward to track two to hear all of "Spring".

Be warned that previous songs entered will continue after this baroque piece.
PS. WANT the purse.
That is all.

LOVE Teh Internets!

THANK YOU to whomever filmed and posted
this cat video.
I simultaneously laughed (out loud), cried and peed in my pants.
I can honestly say this made my day.
(watch it all, please)

Boys WILL be Boys

It's completely true what they say about BOYS. Amy and I had gone shopping in downtown Granbury (well, you know what they say, "girls WILL be girls" :)

This is what we found when we came home:

click on the picture for the fabulous fort features!

(we thought they would be waiting anxiously for us! NOT!) They had constructed a fort, built a fire (using a magnifying glass, of course) and presented a
most righteous collection of skulls/bones...Dang it, ALL Amy and I did was spend money, drink iced caramel macchiatos, went into like a bazillion gift/clothing/candle/fragrance/antique shops...
well, you know, tradition GIRL stuff!
I guess that's the way it was meant to be.

What's YOUR Wing-Span?

Bald eagle, turkey vulture, red-tailed hawk, peregrine falcon, screen owl?

Package!

Huzzah! Another package from Sandra! She graciously sent some scar healing tape (all expired :) (seriously, you guys know how I feel about that- it's stupid to toss newly expired meds of any type) for my scar-of-all scars. She is a doll cuz she included some international postcards, postage stamps, and lots more ZOTZ!
Happy, happy, hopping and clapping!
It will be a great day!
