wednesday's agony

some red wine + this scene + a fresh coat of nail polish fixes a bad day .. . just a little.

YouTubing my Big Sister

needed to upload this video to You.Tube so 

with new phones and computer crashes, i could be assured i would never lose track of it.

this makes my heart so happy. even if she is stuck in a box.

Cutshall and Bieber Forever

this appeared on my Vine feed today.
Matt Cutshall is a hysterical person to follow.



have to say .. and i will Not be embarrassed.. . I forgot how much i liked this song. 





JB's a little boy.
this was before he turned into a maniac.




This awesome site was discovered when i tried to find locate Vine on my computer. 
silly, me.

VineMarket
looks like i found a new place to shop

tangled with Tess

today, i picked up Tess.tula from the vet.

she went from here.. .

.to here

to finally here 

in under four minutes. 

this car montage reminded me of a great.  ..and i mean great, 

sarcasticly, classic video - i fell in love with a whole long time ago.

it's the reason i made my family see Tangled this summer over vacation. 

which they had already seen. .. and yes, it's Uhhh.Amazing.ly great too. 

Who doesn't like having fun in the car?

only losers

Big losers with turdy pants. 

Here's to a brand new HAPPY Year. 

There's a name for this

this commercial GIVES me PBA.

raindrops and roses and Christmas cards from the mailman

these are a few of my favorite things
[you were singing that weren't you?] 


1. this Christmas card from my mailman!
Yes.. Brian apparently is his name.
this made me seriously happy
.Seriously

2. The Convos with my 2-year old WebSeries

I have been watching these for the past week or so.
Leaves me cackling.
Can't wait to show a few to my students.
ones without grown men in underwear though. no worries.










3. on repeat this week.

constant change

This weekend i saw these girls 

My college girlfriends 

Hearts. connected

According to one of them, we look the same. 

haven't changed at all. i'm thinking. No. 

Pictured above - these are baby faces.

Two husbands, seven babies later [none of those mine] we look more.. . more mature.

Nothing stays the same. Certainly not the way we look. 

It's just the way it goes. year to year, month to month, day to day. 

change. 

as i looked through the albums, i couldn't help but notice so many different things 

that i've been reflecting upon. 

We had such a fun time those four years. .. 

and not the drunk, falling all over each other, skipping classes type. 

It was silly pranks, chalking, embarrassing each other, dressing up in department stores. 

All ridiculous. 

.fantastically ridiculous.

In almost all the pictures, we were laughing or trying to be ever so serious 

- as a joke of course. 

Not a care in the world. 

Things are indeed different 

but i still saw the same girl i am now in the photos. 

yes - the 36 year old girl. 

and that makes my heart itchy and fuzzy inside. 

i may have dark and gloomy days but that silliness, that happiness - it glows.

i can feel it on good days and on bad days it tries its hardest to burst through.

i'm blessed that i have people in my life that bring that on and make it shine brighter. 

things do change, people get older and move far away. 

but there are some things that remain constant. 

and for that i am lucky. 

my current repeat.. 

.You are CONSTANT.

1.2.. Wait for it.. .3

my chalkboard Calendar at school makes me one happy teacher. 

can't say i used my own chalk. 

i have a special teacher friend who lends me such cool supplies. 

but how pretty, huh? 

can't wait to change it up each month. 

UPDATE
LOOK CAREFULLY AT THIS PHOTO 
*my aide ever so sweetly informed me on the second day of school 
that the first day wasn't JULY 4th* 
Back to School teacher brain is BaAad! 

this made me laugh so hard today.

it's the "i'll be back" chuckle, 

arm on the table.. . part that really makes me cackle.  

these homemades were inspired by this beaut, my sister. 

Find her at The Last Bite.

just salt, pepper, olive oil.. . a quick trip in the oven and you have  -- - 

.THIS. 

[the .Crunch will keep looping and looping til you stop it:]

are you listening?

seems like i've been writing about commercials lately. 
i'm not going to delve into why. .. nor do i particularly know why..  ? 
other than saying _

.. . those swiffer people, they got me good.
i'll surely buy the duster now. 

i hate being bamboozled by cute old people.

my sister is mean

saw this commercial a month or so ago.
loved it for a variety of reasons which i won't detail here and bore you.

nonetheless. 
i went about a search for the video on the inter.world. galactic net and this blog post came up
A Car Commercial That Humors Your Shitty Art World Dreams.
it made me laugh .. . quite a lot.
[you must read]


and now i'm stuck in a quandry.
which side do i stand on?

do i need to choose a subaru side anyway?
i think not.
my sister would say i was a loser for even posing that question.
thanks, alli.

real world 7H

clearly, she knows the dishes are the LAST thing i should be doing.

.this has become a weekly Saturday event.

it made me laugh the first time, the fifth time, and guaranteed it will the fiftieth time

[without fail, the bone will always make its way into the dishwasher. no photos on this blog are staged ;]

this on the other hand, is a daily event 

.and it does occasionally get old.

especially on Mondays, when I can barely get my lazy ass out of bed 

and she falls back on me

notice her deep sigh at 0:40 when she realizes she has been successful 

in crawling all the way up on my chest. 

what a baby.. . but i love her even the more for it.

KINDLY ignore the trashy apartment behind Tess. 
the OTHER side of my bedroom is painted and decorated nicely. 
No.. . I'm not Joking. 
Photos to be posted soon. 

BEWARE BEWARE .. . adult words!

                                                                                                                                         [source]

mannequins on the toilet

ok. this is AWESOME.
i so miss Polaroid.
but two questions.
Why the creepy mannequin?
and what is with the girl developing a photo on the toilet?

my genie in a bottle

this photograph i've seen floating around for a while now.. .

makes me laugh every time i see it. 

found this one today.

[source]

wish i had him in pill form. 

pop a little "ferrell" to keep me going.

i'll eat. you up!

one of my absolute favorite things is for someone to read to me
preferably picture books
preferably in bed.. .

but i think if Christopher Walken, ever in any crazy chance, did read to me in bed
. .. [ummMm, weirdness]
I may end up laughing so hard, he would never get through the story.



[this may not really be Mr. Walken but it surely does do him justice.. . let's just pretend]

and then there's a picure of max... .
he chases a dog with a fork
i don't think he's really gonna eat him
but kids are jerks.

Steve Martin's Flowers

Steven Martin is a talented man. 
Not only a successful and admired actor. 
but writer, comedian
..  . add to the list, musician. 


I fell in love with one of his novella's Shopgirl. 
Read it in just a day or so. and the movie is delightful as ever. 


Don't think I've ever seen him in a movie where i havent? enjoyed him. 
The Jerk. .. goodness Gracious! 
RENT it NOW... .if it has not graced your screen. 
You will laugh til the end credits roll. 


This is a song I found on one of my friend's facebook pages and felt compelled to share. 
Won't admit to you how many times I've listened to since. 
It may be a wee bit embarrassing.

this made me happy today.

found this on my fliP camera... . stored away

.from a recent visit to my sister's.

if i watch this enough, can i be back in that very moment?

two new ones

i think the people down the street can probably hear me... .

my sides hurt.

i keep bleeding.. . keep bleeding. ..

i've always been entertained by ashton kutcher..

but this latest scene from No String Attached had me cackling.

followed by a clip of him and natalie portman singing 
'Bleeding Love' together.

hySterical.

currently loving

wish i was cool enough to hang out in canyons and play the guitar.. . but then again.

when i searched who Little Wings was... i came upon this.. .

maybe he's cool for a special reason

i think it's funny how he says, "musics"

i wanna hang out with him when he's like this.. . 

laugh my tail off!  

"... just like the free country of the dog" ??!?!? 

REALLY?  this made my night. 

Kyle Field, aka Little Wings, is my favorite artist of the month.
