The most ordinary of blogs
Before leaving for school today Pumpkin decided that I simply HAD to bring her zhuzhu pets with me to the office. Why? Because then she’d have them to play with when she got there after school, of course.
GO GO GO!
For those of you that have kids you know what I’m talking about.
RA RA REE! RA RA REEE!
Bwhahahahaha! Now that will be stuck in YOUR head for hours.
Are you aware of this trend? Wearing mix n match socks? And they sell ‘em in a pack with only three single socks. WTH? Well Honey bunny loves it. What I think is hilarious; the fluorescent colors! Hello? 1980s? Did you want your colors back?!
The trees in our formal living room & family room. Yes, I did these all by myself. The gremlins helped with the family tree but otherwise I put the trees together and did the ornaments.
Yesterday (and today) has been incredibly gorgeous, in terms of the weather, and I was sitting outside watching my gremlins play in the front yard, while watching them I noticed that my poor plants are in dire need of some TLC. In addition, I need to add some plants to a few of the pots that are looking a bit sad or really sad depending on your positive/negative bend.
I think I’m gonna plan on picking up a few plants this weekend & clean up the whole front porch! Just in time to impress my guests for Sunday. Hmmm, I’m kinda starting to get excited about the prospect.
Enough for now,

I was shopping at an adorable little store in town a couple weeks back ~ we were attending a party at a friend’s house and I wanted to bring a hostess gift ~ so while browsing through the store I happened to notice a quiet chirping from the back of the store. It turns out that they had a little bird in a lovely antique cage.
Listening to that tiny bird tweeting made me think that I really want a bird. But then I realized I have enough to do with the my two gremlins, fish, and two dogs.
Enough for now,

P.S Thanks to these peeps for the image used above.
I only wish I could claim responsibility for taking this photo. Unfortunately for me, I can not. I don’t have the time or the skillz to capture such an image. Thank you google image search and these peeps. But isn’t it fabulous? And what a great representation of wet, don’t you agree?
Enough for now,

It has certainly been awhile since I last created a post on my favorite quotes. So I decided, why not now?! Seemed as good a time as any and I’ve saved up a few great ones I think. Hope you like this selection. But if you don’t, then too bad. Nah, Iz just jokin’. Leave a comment PLEASE (yes, that was me begging for a comment) to let me know which was your favorite.

This one is truly speaking to me at this point because it seems that every day is coming & going faster than ever before…

The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously. – Nicholas Butler
I laugh whenever I read this because so often we fight more to prove who is right…

Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine. – Sir Arthur Eddington

Welcome to Friday! It’s been Friday for hours now & in some places it’s really Saturday already but hopefully there isn’t anyone in those places reading this post & thinking “Shit! It’s still Friday? WTF?!” But anyway, where I live it’s still Friday and I’m gonna do another boring edition of Friday bullets cause I got nothin’ better to do. And not piles of work. And not crap to get together for the CPA or anything. Heh. So, without further delay.
