A Bad Day For Rumples..

Rumplestiltzkin was in need of a bath. ..He wasn't thrilled about the idea. :)



..drying off :)

Rumplestiltsken..

..Or as the Germans would say, "Rumpleshtiltzchen!" (where the story originated.) Our sweet little man seems to love to play play play.. apperantly not the cuddling type, for now at least. It is still his first day.

OH, and did I mention that this first picture Jon is the one playing with him, seems a normal prospect right? .. And.. its 7:30 in the morning... duh duh duh :) haha. Jon loves his new kitty friend, he even got in bed before 12 and played with the kitty:)

TOMS

So, everyone who would like a new pair of shoes needs to check out TOMS shoes. Every pair of shoes bought is matched by giving a pair to a kid who has no shoes. Basically you are buying two pairs, one goes to a child in need.

Just go to the website and read the small paragraph about this guy. He started this program 3 years ago, so far they have given 130,000 shoes to kids in need. I think that's pretty cool:)
..I also just like how they look :) Plus they make vegan shoes as well, so you vegans can buy them too:)

A tribute.

AHEM!! (please sing along to the tune of My Favorie Things from The Sound of Music)

Bedspreads and door knobs and kitchen caboodles,

Clothing and perfume and jewelry in oodles,

Furniture, dishware, the purse of my dreams,

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cookbooks and wall frames and seasonal styles,

Catalogs and member-cards all stacked in neat piles,

Sleepwear and new shoes laced up with cute strings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

.

When it calls me, it enthralls me, when I feel it bad,

I simply remember ANTHROPOLOGIE,

And then I spend money like MAAAD!!!!! :)

Thank you, thank you.

my couch

This is my sofa. The center piece of my house. The ONLY piece of my dingy little appartment I thoroughly enjoy. I like that the slip cover is slightly oversized, and that the cushions are slightly worn out. I like that the colors of my quilt and pillows are so vibrant against the green. This is me:) .. So, I thought I would share it with you.

AHHHHH!!

SO IRONIC!!! 6 months ago, I was sitting in the sign room with the lovely Jeeyon, and said to her... "When is someone going to make a really good Alice in Wonderland movie, Tim Burton should make one.."

LO AND BEHOLD!!! Tim Burton makes Alice with Disney!!! Could it get any more 'Abbey?'

haha, watch the preview and rejoice with me! :)

...OK, no one with let me post it here, so just go watch the trailer on youtube.

just type in Alice:))

The Attack!

AHHHH!!! Spiders are now, in cold hard fact, the most horrible living thing on the planet!! I can kill the flies myself!! Come and hear the spider tale I tell!

About 5 minutes ago, I got out of the shower and hopped into bed. (I am waiting for Jon to get home from work) I turned to face the wall and there was the spider from HugeSpidersVille on the wall waiting to greet my wet hair.

Being the brave girl I am, I said, I can handle this!! And ran to the kitchen for a hefty wad of paper towels, squished them in a ball then ran for the spider ready to fulfil my heroic act! As I stuffed the towels down onto the spider, something happened, the Houdini spider somehow escaped my threatening squish!!! (WHAT??!!)

Not once, did this escape artiste' manage, but 5 times!!! As my courage began to turn to weakness and fear, the loathsome eight-legs did something HORRIBLE, in all its unholiness, it JUMPED onto my hand!

In that moment, any ounce of hope and courage of this beast being sent to its maker, exploded to pieces and I let a blood-curling shriek rip through my throat and went into hysterics while the little devil vanished under my bed!! Once I calmed myself, I moved the bed in attempt to find the little creeper, but to no avail. And here I am perched atop my bed, not wanting to sleep, or even to put my head down for fear of the eight-legged beast to take its revenge on me in my sleep. ...really, what would you do.

So, I called my strong and brave shamen in shining shoulder pads (reference to Jon's WOW character) and told him there was an emergency and he needed to come home at once!! He asked what was wrong, so I told him.. and he did not come home. No, there is no happy ending to this tale. Hopefully, I can survive the night...
