hehehe.

lots of “blah blah” today, you up for it?

Yesterday got away from me, again.  I had an “emergency” pc repair drop off.  Which has me thinking, WHY IS IT: when someone’s computer messes up they automatically call it emergency, and expect me (the repair gal) to put their pc first in the queue.  *sigh*

This is my dining room, atm, towers and parts sitting around waiting.

hmm.. THIS is not good.

on a good note,

I think I may just LOVE my UPS man now.   lol.  Even though he is late, doesn’t even ring my door bell, and occasionally leaves packages in my driveway because he is too lazy to hit my steps…I still could possible love him.

But, I’m starting to wonder if its time for an intervention, my loot from yesterday…

*sigh*  why is it, if YOU order something then I feel like I should order something too?  Since I’m on there putting in the order ANYWAY… might as well…  LOL.  I really don’t think being a Stampin’ Up! demo is going to be profitable for me because I keep spending ALL MY PROFITS!  ugh!!!  Please Lord, don’t let the man-thang look at my blog today…  PLEASE…  Amen.

Here’s my ‘mators this morning!  Aren’t they glorious?!  Man-thang is worried they will outgrow their containers before it is safe to put them  outside.  So, now what do I do? HELP!

the back 2 rows are lil Cherry tomatoes.  Geeze I love them!  The next row is “Big Boys”  In the front which have JUST started to sprout is bell peppers. MMMMM!

Here is 2 lil cucumber plants.  Hello yummy lil pre-pickles you!  The only thing in this tray that has sprouted.  I hope the squash peek out soon!!

My lil bells, finally showing some signs of growth! 

All the pics of my veggies made me want to have a wander around my yard, so here’s my morning stroll for you. YAY! 

My neighbors really must think I’m crazy, walking around taking pictures of nothing and cussing.  Every time I would get a good FOCUS, the wind would kick up and start wriggling around my subject and I would have to stand there like an idiot waiting for the wind to stop blowing.  lol.

Anyway, I thought my weeds were even pretty this morning.  Weeds or not, that splash of purple is Cah-Ute!

My Desktop for today:

and for your viewing pleasure…

I also realize I didn’t post my challenges last week.  No one was playing, so I skipped a week.  You know, for no one to be participating, you guys sure let me KNOW when I don’t post them! hahah!!

So for you gripers…

this weeks Shutter-Shock Challenge:

You task, should you accept it, is to find and photograph images of spring.  Now I know, some of you are on the opposite side of the planet, so YOUR task, is to find and photograph signs the seasons are changing!  We want to see whats it is like at your home right now, while ours is bursting with colors and new growth!

So take your pics, blog em, up em to our ShutterShock Flikr Group, and come on back here and drop us a link to see um!

man, what is all that hazing on there?  Oh well.

For the Color Challenge this week:

The challenge: create a card, craft, scrapbook page, digiscrap page, kit, or freebie using the colors above.  This week I chose the colors of SPRING! woohoo!

Post your submission on your blog and come right on back here and link us up! 

and now to REALLY fire some of you up…

I finally saw Twilight.  Gotta LOVE netflix!  Anyway,  it was “ok”.  I don’t get the hooplah about it though.  I’m desperately hoping the books are better then the movie (Since I bought them all).  I just dont get the “addiction”  I mean, I know people that went and saw this at the movies like 10 times.  Though I watched the film, I have to say its a “watch it at home” movie.  I would have been pi$$ed if I’d have paid $10 to see it at the theater. $3 rental maybe, but not $10.

I loved seeing Peter Fier-o-however you spell it.  I loved  him in “Fastlane” and was really sad the show got canceled. 

The main vampire guy, he was (yes I admit) kind of “hot”, but I have to tell you why.  He much reminded me of my Joaquin.  Not crazy, cracked out Joaquin of today.  But sexy quiet Joaquin of 8mm/the Village.  *sigh*  Man what a train wreck. 

Oh back on topic. 

I did watch the whole movie.  Props to me, yay. lol.  I was sad there was not more action.  The only scene I can say I thoroughly enjoyed was the car scene.  Yeah! Drive that thang brotha’!  Other then that…  NOT impressed.  Sorry ladies.  Let the flame fest begin.  lol.

*oh, note the new song today?  I DO love the soundtrack!  thats a plus right?!!!

OK, Im  outtie.  I will do something CRAFTY today if it kills me.  Right after I change out laundry loads, load the dishwasher, mop the bathrooms (grrr I hate living with guys sometimes!), and finish a pc repair job.  THEN Im going to craft.  I swear it!

oh my!   lol.

So far this week I have caught my hair in the car door and about ripped my head off, AND managed to have an onion spray my entire face.  It was like I cut into it so it spat on me! UGH!  Currently, I’m hiding from all sharp objects, as I firmly believe bad things DO happen in threes. LOL.

LOL. this post is taking forever. Sorry Im “craft shopping” with Shannon while I type. LOL.

Here’s a new color challenge for you!  I meant to post it Monday, but time got away from me, Again.  This one is inspired by a Tinkerbelle gift bag that Bug keeps all her sewing material in.  It is way cute.  I’ve included the RGB colors for you, and the pretty close Stampin’ Up! colors.  If you use the swatch, I would LOVE to see!  Come on back and stick a link in the comments!

…..and an hour later! LOL  WEEEEE I cant wait for you to see what all Shannon and I just ordered from SU! OMG!  She got herself a BigShot on sale at Joann’s and “needed” some “die” thingys! Man, I love shopping!  Even if its not for me! Even if I don’t know what the thingys DO!  hahaha!

Speaking of Stampin’ Up!

I have started adding some “Buyers Clubs” to help my stampers!  Clubs are a great way to earn extra merchandise from Stampin’ Up!, and most demos have a club of some sort.  A friend of mine emailed and asked me to put some clubs together so she could get some hostess gifts without having a party at her house.  Thank goodness, because I’m not feeling the whole “party” thing.  Anyway, I called Stampin’ Up! for some info on what I could and couldn’t do, and now I too have several of them available, and a few more are coming.  I just need to double check the math before I post the others.  I love that Stampin’ Up! is willing to let their demos put together clubs to help their customers!

What I’ve come up with so far:

• Classic Ink Pad Club  Club where 4 folks can get all the Classic pads, and earn free goodies too!
• Craft Ink Pad Club Club where 4 folks can get all the Craft pads, and earn free goodies too!
• Color Lovers Club Club where 4 folks can get goodies (papers, and inks) and get free goodies and shipping too!
• Power Packs & Save!  These power packs are put together by theme!  Free shipping as a gift from me on each pack and earn free goodies if you order 3 packs or more!

New SHUTTER SHOCK CHALLENGE!

YAY!

Remember if you participate, to join our ShutterShock group on Flikr!  Its free!
This weeks challenge, is ROUTINES.  Everyone has SOMETHING they do everyday.  What’s YOUR routine?

One of my “things” is checking my messages as SOON as I wake up.  You’re going to scream TMI but umm… 
My phone charger is on the way to the potty, so on my way for my morning “visit” I grab my phone and read/listen to messages I missed while I was sleeping. hahaha!

ok ok, I really have to go.  Its been like 3 hours since I started typing this thing!

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!

Hey, I’m so loving twitter!  Its way better for ME then Facebook!  If you use twitter, I would love you to follow me (and I’ll follow you).  Im @bunnycates  DSO has a twitter too! @D_S_O  so if you twitter, follow us!!!!

ok so I’m still trying to figure out what happened to yesterday.

I specifically remember getting up.  I remember that.  THEN, I remember…eating supper?  umm… where in the WORLD did the rest of my day go?  I didn’t make anything yesterday.  in fact, it doesn’t look like i even read half my emails!  What’s up with that?!

Netflix came yesterday, finally, after not coming for a week.  Come on Netflix, you’re going to have to do better then that.  REALLY.  Anyway, so the man-thang and I watched Religulous together.  Which is actually kind of funny, because we are 100% opposite in our beliefs.  Its a documentary questioning peoples faith etc.  Pretty funny stuff, but a)for GROWN UPS.  I don’t think kids should watch it.  and b) for GROWN UPS.  I don’t think anyone should watch it unless you are REALLY tolerant of other peoples beliefs/opinions.   

We also noticed that the movie Bub had gotten, was UNRATED. ummm… HELLO… lol..  So we sat up and watched it last night.  I have never laughed so hard in a movie.  It was the stupidest waste of an hour and a half ever.  Man-thang is going to watch it AGAIN. lol..  It was called “Meet the Spartans” and its a “spoof” movie of “the 300” which we LOVED.  the 300 even got Bub interested in history, WHAT!?!

oh ramble ramble. lol..

Ok, So Miss Loucee tagged me.  Here’s how it works:

•Go to your photo folder in your computer
•Go to the 6th folder of photos
•Go to the sixth picture
•Put the picture on your blog and a description of it
•Invite six friends to join the challenge
•Link them in your blog.

Ok, so here’s my sixth photo from my sixth album.  Bub featured in a news article singing his little heart out. YAY!  The reporter even said he was “very talented”.  YAY!    Seems so long ago he was this young.  Almost sad to see that hair on his face now.  Where did these days go?

For my tag, I am tagging:
Lynn
Melanie Ann
Polly
Shannon

Man, I’m tired.  I think I am going back to bed for a bit.  The kids are off to school, the dogs been put out, my blogs almost done.  Maybe I’ll just sleep today.  Atleast THEN I’ll know where the day went. LOL
