Remember the other day, when I got a big ole face full of mornin’ surprise.   Yea well, it’s been like that every morning since. 

Late last night, I was down in the studio and kept feeling like someone was watching me.  You know that feeling.  The hair kept standing up on my arms and stuff.  I checked and double checked to make sure the vampire closet was “barricaded” and it was, then I noticed the drapes were open a little over on the sliding glass doors.  When I went over to fix the curtains, I decided to let the dogs out just one more time for the night, and when I opened the door…

well…

how would ya like a big face full of THIS at 1am….

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!   *shivers*

I watched this little guy work on his web for about an hour.  Every now and then he would stop and look at me.  I imagine he was thinking “thats right, and if you tear it down ONE MORE TIME………”  LOL!

Of course I googled.  He is a Furrow Spider (an orbweaver, just like Charlotte!)  Now that I know he is kin to Charlotte I just cant tear the web down, so today he gets a reprieve from building.  It is Memorial Day after all.  So today he will get to vacay like the rest of us.  Tomorrow the hubs is off and I will make him catch this critter and move him over to the dog kennels. 

MEMORIAL DAY SALE

This is just a note about my digiscrap stuff.  Im having a 40% off sale. Its TODAY ONLY so don’t dillydally.    (pssstt… actually the ENTIRE STORE at DSO is on sale for 25% off TODAY!)

NEW REVIEWS

I accidently activated all my planned reviews for June. LOL  I thought I was “programming” them to go off on a timer, one review each Sunday but…  DOH!  They all posted activated. LOL!   Be sure to hit the REVIEW BLOG to read my thoughts on Provo Craft Paper Trimmer, Tonic Studios Guillotine Paper Trimmer, and Presto Pizzazz Pizza Oven !

ok, I gotta run.

Take a moment to hug your loved ones and remember those who have passed. Have a nice Memorial Day.

Morning!!!!!!!!

SO, how would you like to open the door to let the dogs out first thing you wake up and stick your face into THIS…

Yea, that SCREAM you heard ‘round ‘bout 5 this mornin’…  that was me.    I still feel like spiders are crawling all over me.  AND I have the undying desire to throw in Arachnophobia, curl up in the corner, suck my thumb, and pet my favorite shoe.  I call her Billie. “ooo nice beeeeelllliiieeeee” 

LOL.

This morning really did kind of suck.  Woke up to both my MAIN pc’s being crazy, thanks to yesterdays power flickers due to the thunderstorm that popped up outta nowhere.  And it was foggy as shizznit outside!

can you spot the girlchild?

Seriously was afraid she would get HIT by the bus instead of get ON the bus.  BUT schools almost over and the BUS is what she wanted to do this morning.  SOOO… the hubs and I took turns watching her wait for THE BUS.  LOL…

Anyhoo, after about 4 hours of cussing I *think* I have the pc’s fixed.  Now Im just watching the clock.   SOMEONE is sneaking off to see Prince of Persia today.  YAY ME!  errr… I mean YAY – SOMEONE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS so the kids don’t get ticked I went to the movies without them, I mean if it were ME, but its NOT me, so….

*droooooooool*

LOL!

OH, so I had this idea for FRIDAY posts….
Im going to call it….

wait for it…

no, I said wait for ittttttttttt…..

not yet…….

5 Fact Friday

Five Fact Friday is going to be pretty simple.  I’ll post a “theme” each week and you blog it, come back here and link it up, and you can visit the other folks who played along too.  Sound like fun?  I think so!

Todays 5 Fact Friday,  post 5 of your FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK!

1.  YOGA PANTS!
I bought my very first pair at OLD NAVY a few weeks ago and I cant tell you how much I love them!  They are soooo comfy.  I literally take them off to wash them, and pout until I can put them back on again!  Yoga pants and tank tops, thats all Im sayin people!

2.  WHOLE WHEAT BAGELS
I’ve been living off these things this week!  For breakfast has been toasted bagles w/philly and some fresh strawberries on the side.  YUMMO.  Lunch has been toasted bagel with tuna, cottage cheese on the side.  YUMMO.

3. Socks
I know.  That *gasp* you just heard was my entire family AND the bff all having a STROKE as they read that. HA.  Listen.  Normally I AM a barefoot kind of gal.  I’ll admit it.  Shoes were invented by the MAN as another way to preoccupy the woman, and also give him another gift his woman will not be able to refuse as he tries to make amends for whatever evil doings require said gift.  Shoes, suck.  Since socks are required for some shoes, socks suck by association.  Unfortunately, this has been a rather hot week.  And sticky.  So for the air conditioner to keep the upstairs even tolerable, the studio has become some kind of arctic tundra.  How did I put it on facebook?  Oh yes, NIPPLECHIPS COLD.  You know, its so cold that ice chips shoot out your nipples.  THAT would be the studio right now.  And, grab your chests because this is the ‘big one” ELIZABETH…..  I even have on a sweater right now.  Granted its my Mr. Rogers sweater, but seriously…  LOL!!!  ps – if you dont get the “big one Elizabeth” reference, with you are to YOUNG to be reading my blog – close the window… or I am just getting too damned old.  *gasp*

4. Di and Shannon
I’m so grateful for these two ladies right now.  They have been such a huge help to me work-wise.  With Kim being away, that has left me to run DSO and DSV alone.  Kim and I never made a contingency plan for “what if one of us has to be a way for long periods of time”.  These two have stepped up in so many ways, I just cant thank them enough. Moosh –oh look, a tear.  bah!

5.  Jake Gyllenhaal
Oh come on, you knew that was coming.   LOL…  I am so in love with him THIS WEEK.  *swoon* 

Yes Jakey, I will see your abs in only 2 hours.  Can you feel me drooling already!  weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee……….
