Today was baby shower invitation makin’ day…..(Miss Barbara turn away… turn away! Or you won’t be surprised when yours comes in the mail! Okay.. fine.. but pretend to be surprised okay??) First I searched the internet for the perfect shower picture.  Then, I invited the baby Momma and Grandma Lynn to come help assemble. We used different paper punches to make paper flowers. I just realized there is only one little flower in these cut outs.  The party hats are for the tables at the shower… cute huh? BTW baby punches are NOT for sissies! They don’t just punch out easy! Then we used the little buttons for the center of the flowers.  And WHOOLA…

Ya’all know I love the movie “UP” but did you know someone actually wondered if they could make a real house fly with ballons? The answer is YES, they can! AND managed to set a world record. Dozens of volunteers worked around the clock in the Californain desert to get the custom-built house airborne with the aid of 300 eight-foot-high helium balloons 

Easy? Ummmm the answer is NO… no it was not (at first anyway)  I know that all you seamstress out there will be rolling your eyes at me… but MAN that was HARD! I made BabyT a block.  A crinkle taggie block. I was so excited about this project… handmade with love by Nonnie.. (ahhhh aren’t I sooo sweet!?) wellllllllllllllll FYI……. You can’t just randomly sew seams together for a block…. you must first try and MAKE (visualize) the block or you will be tearing out seams over and over and over. Anyway, once I stopped just randomly sewing pieces together the little block went quick. Now it isn’t done yet, seems…

Now curling my hair may sound like such a simple “BIG WOO” thing… but since DH’s little trip to ER and since basically house bound since, well, I’ve taken the whole “low maintenance” thing to a VERY HIGH level!! No makeup, I haven’t actually brushed my hair in 2 months. (OMG! Has it been 2 months?!) It’s probably TMI to tell you I hadn’t shaved my legs until yesterday either. (I could do write a WHOLE ‘nother post on the Epilady fiasco last night… but suffice to say…. check ebay… that little bastard is for sale!) Anyway… back to my low maintenance description.    Example: My daughter Selena said she might come over this weekend.  I responded with “I might have an plans!” Selena…

You know when you look up and someone has just APPEARED and it startles you?  Even when you are home and it’s just family it still startles you right?? Tonight DH said “Why is Mority staring at the wall??”  I look over (mind you I’ve walked past Mority maybe a dozen times already since our son Zachary had been over to visit…… but never even saw him!!! Observant is NOT my strong suit!) Anyway, looked over and Mority is right THERE!!  Scared the s%#$ outta me!!  Mority belongs in the diningroom… where he’s been for the last 5 years!  Having him just appear in the in livingroom… not funny!  NOT funny! ZACHARY…
