Autumn

It's come, it's been and it's on it's way out! There were actually a few DRY days in the first parts of autumn! Luckily for me it was one of the days we ventured to Goldstream Park for a little nature walk. More pictures to come. This is just a quick post before I go to bed! Thankfully I was able to get some cute pics of Taya before she gave herself a freaking MULLET. Yah, that's right *vvvrrrtttt* chopped off the hair on the top/front of her head. WHAT....a goober.

Seriously???

Anyone watch Oprah??? These days all you need is that LG Fridge and your "cell phone". Seriously? Just throw the rest away, you got everything you need right there!!!! Come on people, Who needs a damn DVD player hooked up to their FRIDGE! It is for keeping FOOD cold!!! FOOD!!! And a slide show of your pictures? What ever happened to fridge magnets and real pictures? Oh that's right there is no room for them on account of the TEEVEE, Pshhhh. Unbelievable.

It's been a long time...

I shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to...step to, step to

K, I have been computerless for almost a month. GAHHHHH. Here I am, I'm back. I am not the most regular poster so I'm sure no one really noticed LOL

Mom and Girl

Hmm, well at least we know my eyes are white LOL.

Surriously Funny

Oh man is this freaking hilarious!!! Thanks to my good friend Kip for showing it to me :)

quick pic

Another pic from Butterfly World...

LOL

...not really. Do you ever just write "LOL" too many times? I do sometimes totally. And I'm not even laughing out loud at all. More like smiling and snickering or snorting or something. I ALMOST just typed "LOL" right there at the end of that last sentence. I like Nic with her "LQTM" Laughing quietly to myself. It's perfect. I'm sure she is not the only one who types that, but I haven't seen anyone else say it before so I called it hers;) (Almost just typed it again). But It's so perfect cause usually that's what I'm doing. If I'm REALLY LOL, I will say "LMAO" followed by waaaaay too many exclamation points. Have you ever said LOL out loud? Haha you are a total nerd if you have, I usually go "Ohhhhh that is sooooo funny!!!!!!!" instead of laughing. It is kinda weird! I think....wait wait I'm not going to say WHY I say that or where I got it from cause people that I know IRL will read this and think something that is true and I don't want them to know. AKKK I've said to much. Now they will hear me and think "I have read about this on her blog...but what does it all mean Basil?" Ok Ok I'm getting weird now cause it's 2am and I need to go to bed! So my point here is do you say LOL without genuinely laughing out loud?

He dream cheated!!!!

Remember that episode of Friends where Jack "dream cheats" on Phoebe and then she is all ticked at him? Well last night I had a dream that I got a new celly and was at a BBQ programing it and two of my guyfriends were standing with me, one of them gave me their number to put in and the other one walked away! What a jack ass!!! Now I woke up kindof peeved at him. I feel like he needs to redeem himself, but how?, when he didn't really do anything wrong LOL. Ever have those dreams?

Mediocre at best...

I'm talking about the season premier of Desperate Housewives. That sucked. Well maybe it didn't SUCK, but it was not very exciting at all. I don't like this whole Edie and Carlos thing. It's just annoying. I liked it better when Edie was a lonely skank pretending not to be lonely. I found the new neighbors kid not being the same kid kind of predictable and too obvious. Leave something to my imagination won't you? What is this? The Zack storyline all over again? Anyhoooooo, disappointed is all. It was no Grey's Anatomy, now that was good!

Rain...

out of the clear blue sky? Ok so there are a couple wispy clouds, but this was a funny sight! This was a few weeks ago of course, it's now in full on overcast rainy cold mode up here. A cool pic though, me likey :)

Just sharing this pic real quick. We went to Butterfly World. Actually I think it's called Butterfly Gardens now, but when I was a kid it was World, so world it is. 'Gardens' just seems kinda granny to me. I think they were just trying to be like Butchart Gardens up the road...ripper offers. Anyhoo, here's a shot of the little peachy cheeks and some kind of tiger butterfly :)

Moving on...

Well by the 42.7 times I have seen Cinderella in the past week it seems we have moved on fromthe "Dora, Diego, Telletubbies & Blues Clues" stage! I guess it's on to Cinders and Nemo and the likes. It's bittersweet. As much as I have grown to love those precious characters *snort* It just goes to prove that baby girl is getting older. I don't like it! She is 3 plus 2 months now. I really didn't think she would get older than 1. Once again time is tripping me out!!! Speaking of getting old, does anyone notice that Candy Corn really tastes like fruity plastic and not the glorious deliciousness I thought it was when I was a kid? Weird!!! It also just cut my finger opening the container. Stupid fruity plastic piece of crap! Hmm what else. It's getting cold here. Not that it was ever that hot, but now it's really getting cold. And leaves are starting to fall. And it was raining for a couple days. It's sunny today, but it's still cold. Inside the house it is anyhow, I HATE waking up to coldness. HOW can I get out of bed when it's cold? Once my feet get cold there is no heating me up. I hate iiiiitttttttt. We have a furnace that does the whole house but it takes the temp in the upstairs hall. That doesn't really help ME downstairs. I freeze, they boil. Whatever man. Here we go again with the on and the off and the on and the off of the space heater that I will once again be at the mercy of. Friggin heater. Ok enough complaining, have a nice day!!!!! :)

Magic Box

Just wanted to share this pic I took last week. Some new editing techniques I am trying out and I think I likey!!! Kinda looks like she is peering into some kind of magical box with light beaming out. Oh and she picked out her own "hairdoos". Made me cut that elastic and make it onto a headband. Pretty good taste I'd say!

The middle name game...

Ok, thanks for the tag Michelle! Heres my thing, I had to take my middle name and put something about me for each letter. Luck me, I have two freaking middle names lol. Emily Jane Alina, yes that is me and here is some stuff you may not have known:


Now for the tagging. I'm not tagging 9 people, it's too much work and thinking, so i'm tagging 3 - Eva, Nic, and Amie

It's called a Kleenex!

Oh FFFRIGGG. Get this one. I went to the drugstore to grab something and Taya was a rotter the wholeeee time. She was being so bad and I kept saying I was gonna pinch her if she didn't start being good. So she goes "no your not" in one of those sing songey types of cheeky-arse manners(first time she has ever done that) So I pinch her cheek and she starts crying SOOOOOO loud and won't stop. That is pretty usual...that is not the bad part yet, ok, it happens, crying happens in the store sometimes. K THHEENNNNNN, we are in the check out line, she freaking picks her nose and then tries to get rid of it on the magazine rack!!!!! Believe it or not that is NOT the worst part yet :( The guy behind her is like "Ohhh nooo that is not the right place for that, a tissue is the right place, if you put it there, then other people get your boogers" OHHH MYYY GGGGGOODNESS I WAS MMMOOORRTTIIFFIIEEDDD!!!!!! I was soooo embarrassed!!! HELLOOO ever heard of whispering "Pssstttt mom bla bla bla" instead of pretty much ANNOUNCING it SO loudly that everyone in the friggin store can hear??? Phhhtt What a douche!

What to say today...

Hmmmm I am long overdue for a postaroo! Time goes by so fast, next thing you know it's winter! Ok sooooo, What have I been up to. Well we went to the Saanich fair here on the weekend, It was awesome, horses, sheep, giant geese, the whole bit. I'll do another post on that cause I don't really feel like it right now. Anyhow I listed some stuff on eBay, lots of my favorite jeans that I have been procrastinating on listing. They are so cute! Check out my stuff. There is also a SSB resell up as well. More to come for sure, I have TONS to list! Another topic, my Daughter continues to crack me up more and more each day. She is getting smart on me. when the drink I give her is not the specific flavor she wanted it mysteriously goes missing, I say, where did it go? And she replies with, "I dunno...it just almost appears I guess" That is her version of "It disappeared" followed by "Ohhh well...just hafta get a new one I guess" with an innocent little sigh and shoulder shrug. Typical kid behavior right?

I'm tired today. Like REALLY tired. I just got new pillows and they are soooo soft and snuggly so my bed is calling me even more. I had to get the new pillows cause I wached Oprah on Monday and they were doing the whole microscopic thing with the pillows and the beds and *shudder* uck! I had to get new pillows. It was time for new pillows....I wish I could go to bed early...but Tornado Taya always leaves me something to do after she retreats to dreamland...or should I say, song singing blanket tossing care bear playing with land. Oh well at least the tornado comes to a halt at night long enough for me to make her a clean floor on which to empty the toybox on. But you know, I like the mess...I'm glad there is a little someone making a mess for me to clean :) I love it :)

Hook line and Tinker...

Ohhhh cheeze fest on that title or what? Sorry I sometimes can't help myself! Just wanted to share this picture I took on the weekend. We went to my cousin's house on the weekend and she got 2 baby bunnies! The grey one is 'Tinkerbell', the black and white one that you can't really see only has 3 legs and the other one is a stub! Apparently his mama ate it, Talk about a bad mother! So he is aptly named 'Hook'. That's all for now, I have some more that I might share later :)

Urban Oasis

Finally a new design from the studios of moi! This is really on of my favorites ever. I was inspired by my hometown but more specifically Market Square. It's my first destination when we spend the day downtown. You think it's because of the delicious fudge shop don't you? Well you are correct hehehe, I am a sucker for maple fudge and you know I picked some up down there :) But it's not just the fudge. If you take a peek at my auction you will see why I love it so much. It's absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't get enough :) Anyhoo, I won't go on forever, I need to get sewing for the Indelible launch!!! Lets hope for some nice weather for photos cause right now it's raining...again...surprise surprise! Thanks for peeking :)

I remember when...

The summer was a summer. A real SUMMER. This year we have had maybe 2-3 weeks worth of NICE weather combined here in Victoria. I remember the long summer days when I was little. Full of home made slip'n'slides and blue raspberry pop. And the long summer nights when I was a teenager, full of...well driving around, just cause we could lol! Even last year, although it was a scorcher, summer came very early and seemed to drag on forever! this year though, very disappointing! Taya is old enough now to do alot more things and we are sitting here doing nothing very summer-like at all because it is raining!!! Now September is less than 2 weeks away and we will be into fall. The whole year seems to be FALL around here! I know I know, pacific north west, rain rain rain, but COME ON! Throw me a bone here...or an umbrella or something!!!! I had big plans for this summer. Sheesh this post has turned into quite the whine fest and for that I am sorry, and I am sure that plenty of you live in the hot hot heat all year around and would love a little rain, but seriously, you KNOW how I hate wearing socks and shoes, I just don't wanna be soggy anymore!!! Frig, I can't even believe we are in 2007. I remember laughing in 2000 at everyone getting so excited for the winter Olympics here in Whistler in 2010 thinking bahhh that will NEVER come! And NOW that is only 2 years away! Ahhhhh somebody help I'm tripping out and feeling old LOL

Ok onto more important things. I will have a new listing up tomorrow!!! Weeeee!!! I'm really excited because it has been quite some time since I listed and I really enjoyed every step of this one, from the inspiration of the design conception to the photo shoot to the putting together of the auction template :) i am starting on my set tonight for the Joel Dewberry "Indelible" launch this Thursday the 23rd as well. There is a link over on the sidebar there that will take you to the auctions once it starts. I have seen some sneak peeks and so far everything is looking super fab!!! There are some unbelievably talented ladies involved and with Joel's fabrics it's going to be a treat for the eyes for sure! sorry no interesting photos today, I have a replacement monitor but no time to find anything related to my post :) Have a great day!!! Check back tomorrow for my new design...orrrrr sign up for my mailing list (also located in the sidebar over there---->) and I will just email you when it's up and running. Have an awesome day!!!
