I felt like a sapling during a tsunami, as waves of different emotions surged over me.
Someone please pass me another tissue……………….

She scores......
(I think she is saying,"tage" in hostage--at least I hope that is why she looks like that....)
I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE OVER AT
WINS!!!!
YEAH!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!
Just to make it PERFECTLY clear--Kelly is NOT being held hostage--in the gutter or anywhere else--HA!! I just noticed that--I CRACK myelf up!!
It also kills me that I can't just go out and buy more chocolate and have more winners like I did last time--its hard to have just one winner. It will be sad to lose some of my new followers---but it was fun while it lasted----deep sigh.....
I hope you guys had a good time and I will be posting part 2 of my garage door saga soon as well as why I wanted to know how you defined those 4 terms. Just gotta make it through the bride to be visit/planning/up till 1 am/really? You want ME to tell you about "marital relations???""AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Email me Gutter baby--I have never sent anything overseas. Kelly said she would be glad to deliver it in person--tee-heee



I LOVE shopping on Amazon!
I love that when I sign on and my opening page, it is always filled with things I never knew existed, let alone needed to own. Life is good on Amazon.

Handmade Journal
I bought a Parley's Leather Journal for myself and one for the giveaway but then I got to thinking (ouch) that some of you out there might be against the whole use of animal hide thing (sorry--I'm now out of the closet I guess---I use animal hide products) so I went to Etsy and found an equally delightful Vegan alternative. I so would have bought one for me but I was out of cashola.
IF YOU WIN THIS GIVEAWAY YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE OR THE OTHER--YOU DO NOT GET BOTH JOURNALS
from The Collection-Spirit of You

(The description below, is from Jovencio de la Paz --the creator of this BEAUTIFUL Vegan journal)

Okay--when I got these in the mail my #3 daughter just shook her head and said, "Mom--y0u are soooo weird". Sad but true.
I was just looking under the geekery section of Etsy and these came up! I thought they were so funny, I laughed out loud. I mean, come on, anyone can make a magnet with a butterfly on it--don't you just want to MEET the person who came up with putting the elements of poison on a set of magnets??!!!
GeekMagnets-The Elements of Poison
Check out the macabre side of the periodic table. These four elements are extremely poisonous - mercury, lead, arsenic and radon. Give these to that slightly off-center person in your life, who's interested in old-time stories of mystery poisonings. Note that the magnets themselves aren't poisonous. Unless you swallow them, which I do not recommend.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Each GeekMagnet is hand-assembled from a clean and shiny glass marble, sturdy cardstock, and a strong ceramic magnet. The glue used is the good stuff, so your GeekMagnets are solidly constructed.
The glass used for these GeekMagnets may have bubbles and other imperfections. Just like the nasty villain who uses these poisons on his adversaries!
These magnets are 1.5 inches in diameter (~4cm) and are a fantastically cool addition to your home, lab or office. They're not just cute - they can hold multiple papers or pictures too!
Magnets from Anandi's Laboratory are packaged in a lovely star-sprinkled organza bag that you can reuse.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
(thank heavens--I thought this was going to go on all day!!)
I have been known to go to this store and just walk up and down the isles, just running my fingers gently along the book spines. I could pack my sleeping bag and live at this store for at least a week. Just driving by the store makes me smile. Sorry--
