The Wonder Years

The Wonder Years was one of my fav shows. I was wondering why the heck haven't I seen it in so long? Oh, that's because they don't put it on tv, which is totally stupid, I would rather watch it than any of the other 50 shows in syndication in which Frasier once again plays Frasier. Anyhoo, The Wonder Years was on 3 times today, Christmas episodes. Desperate for more, I looked it up on youtube and found this. It's so funny! But so true. I didn't ever think what it would be like without the voice over.

Cozy...

Ohhh I love this vest :) When I saw it I just had to snaggle it away for us :) After I initially saw it, I went back and *gasp* they were totally all gone :( SO I had to eBay it up hehehe. I was actually able to get a few pix this afternoon before we jumped into the car. It's so dark and wet and yucky out and the skies are too bright and it stinks for me who's camera by the way is dying a slow death. The warranty ran out 2 months ago, of course it's started it's decent into nonworkingville. Whatev, hopefully I will find the time to get on the sewing train again and make me some 'new camera' dollars :) Anyhoo, here's the only shot that turned out.

Oh and P.S.- You can see that the self inflicted mullet is growing out now and quite easily camouflaged with a good ole fashioned combover!

Mmmm... samwiches...

Well, hello everyone! Not that much exciting things going on and the weather has been to crappy for any photo sharing really. But I did just get this totally awesome kitchen for Taya and she LOVES it to death!!! Sure, it came in 45,000 pieces... And yah, it did take 5 hours to put together. And mmm hmm, you do have to spend just as much on fake food and mini cooking paraphernalia as you do on the kitchen itself.... but it's definitely worth it :) The good news is that she didn't pee her pants when I dramatically unveiled it. She peed her pants a second time, the next visit to that same boutique when she was playing with that kitchen. Needless to say that I flew solo when picking up the pretend food from there. Anyways I have never eaten so many pretend samwiches in my life, and I think her baby doll is pretty full too. I love that she loves it so much :) Usually, you get them a new toy and it's old news the next day. I think this one will really last :) Well ta-ta for now!

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 :)
