Yellow
Yellow is one of my favorite colors. Steve is my favorite boy. Look how well they work together….this was just delivered to my front door.
Thanks honey!
I love you too.
Learning to love…
Scout seems to be enjoying her bath more these days….maybe it is all the bubbles.
…but then penguins often do
Teddie sent this to me today. It was tooooo fabulous not to share.
This year’s winners of the Bulwer-Lytton contest, a.k.a. the “Dark and Stormy Night Contest” (run by the English Department of San Jose State University), wherein one writes only the first line of a bad novel:
10) “As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were ever to break wind
in the echo chamber, he would never hear the end of it.”
9) “Just beyond the Narrows, the river widens.”
“With a curvaceous figure that Venus would have envied, a tanned,
unblemished oval face framed with lustrous thick brown hair, deep
azure-blue eyes fringed with long black lashes, perfect teeth
that vied for competition, and a small straight nose,
Marilee had a beauty that defied description.”7) “Andre, a simple peasant, had only one thing on his mind as he crept
along the East wall: ‘Andre creep… Andre creep… Andre creep.’”6) “Stanislaus Smedley, a man always on the cutting edge of narcissism,
was about to give his body and soul to a back alley sex-change
surgeon to become the woman he loved.”5) “Although Sarah had an abnormal fear of mice,
it did not keep her from eking out a living at a local pet store.”4) “Stanley looked quite bored and somewhat detached,
but then penguins often do.”3) “Like an overripe beefsteak tomato rimmed with cottage cheese,
the corpulent remains of Santa Claus lay dead on the hotel floor.”2) “Mike Hardware was the kind of private eye who didn’t know the meaning
of the word ‘fear’; a man who could laugh in the face of danger
and spit in the eye of death — in short, a moron with suicidal tendencies.”AND THE WINNER IS…
1) “The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness,
crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the
castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her, disbelieving the magnitude of the frog’s deception, screaming madly, ‘You lied!”
Father’s Day 2006
Yesterday was Steve’s first Father’s Day. In the long standing tradition of Father’s Day….he received tools. I hope he enjoyed his day.
We love you!
animal wear
I am watching So You Think You Can Dance. If you are watching you are seeing the same thing I am. What is up with the giraffe dress? It is not good. I am not a fan of her (the host…whose name I don’t care to know) anyway…but that dress is killing me. It isn’t just that it is giraffe print…it doesn’t really appear to fit very well. This is not to say that I always look perfect BUT
1. I am not on TV
2. I make way less money than she does
and
3. I don’t have her figure.
If I met the aforementioned qualifications…I would dress better than that.
Bullshit
I am sooo calling bullshit on this one…
Brittany Murphy has lashed out at claims she has suffered from an eating disorder, insisting she has always been the same weight. The star became self-conscious after speculation over her small frame increased, but she maintains she merely appears slimmer because she has matured. The 28-year-old says, “I’m the same size I was in Clueless; it’s just that the weight in your face changes as you grow and get older. I used to feel embarrassed about being too tiny. I had a publicist at the time who told me that I should cover my arms up in photos. She felt that if I did that, they would stop picking on me. She meant well, but it made me really self-conscious. Then I came to terms with it… This is my body; I’m proud of it, so who cares? Now I’ve stopped trying to eat 12 eggs for breakfast. I’m healthy which is the most important thing.”
unless….
Don’t forget to vote tomorrow!
(unless you vote republican)
In the park
Concerts in the Park is Monday night. Steve and I are planning on going. Anyone else want to go? We could split a bucket of chicken or something!
New tricks
In April my grandmother turned 75. This week she bought a laptop. I am so excited for her.
Today I spent some time at her house…Mom and I got her set up with cable internet (ummm oh yeah my grandmother has a wireless network…she rocks)and I started her gmail tutorials. She is a good student! She is going next week to register for computer classes at the Senior Center. She has already picked up a few things and she is all about learning how to do more. Go Grandmother!
