Two days...just TWO more days!!!!
In a little over 48 hours, I will be heading out wearing my brand new Twilight Junkie shirt to join the girls (who will also be wearing THEIR Twilight Junkie shirts) for dinner...the 9pm showing of Twilight, followed by the 12:01 premiere of NEW MOON!Eeeeeeekkkkkkk!!!I'm SOOOOO excited! ;)I borrowed this pic from my new favorite blog...hop over & visit Jen at Tatortots & Jello...she's giving away NEW MOON inspired jewelry over there today!!
*Sigh*You know, every now & then EVERYONE does something stupid that they regret...it's just part of life. Maybe that stupid thing happened because a person was in a hurry...or maybe they were FURIOUS, hurt & very angry...maybe they just weren't using their head and made a simple MISTAKE. However it occurs, it's always unfortunate.Let me tell you a story...Once upon a time, this sassy 18 year old girl got into her car...she was LATE (as usual), she was distracted (I mean, her boyfriend WAS a hunk), she was driving WAY fast on a wet, curvy road...out of nowhere, she realized that in her BIG distracted HURRY she didn't have her seatbelt on & she quickly buckled it up.Exactly three minutes later, she had a wreck.And she walked away without a scratch.Do you think she ever gets in a car without wearing her seatbelt now? HA!Let's just say they call me Seatbelt Drill Sergeant in these parts...
Here's another story about that girl's hunk of a boyfriend...One night, late...hunk of a boyfriend and his pals were out...it was a FOGGY night...and they were out on a DANGEROUS road. The pals were in the front seat and he was seated in the back, in the very middle so that he could lean up and chat. Distracted driving pal missed a very sharp curve in this fog...his car ran off the road and met head on with a telephone pole.Luckily, these guys were all ok...and hunk of a boyfriend DID have some injuries that required surgery...but, without his seatbelt he would have been thrown through the windshield...Let's just say, these days they call him Seatbelt Drill Sergeant's husband...Now, that you have a little background information...(and I did not even mention that "Click it or Ticket" LAW)you can probably understand how I MIGHT dive off the flippin' deep end if I thought that one of these little people had been riding in a car WITHOUT their seatbelt on...even if they were just going 3 little miles down the road...
I regret.. that I did...indeed, dive off the flippin' deep end...about that.And, I apologize for that and for any hurt feelings that it may have caused.However, I do not apologize for having rules for my children at my house...they may be about the food they are allowed to eat, tv/movies they are allowed to see (or not), books they are allowed to read (or not), manners, bedtime...or even seatbelts. Those are my rules and they are my children. Period. And that's all I feel that I need to say.Every now and then, EVERYONE does something stupid that they regret.Me...You...Everyone.The best thing to do is apologize and move on.Don't let some unfortunate mistake eat you up on the inside.Make peace and forgive...life is way too short.Happy Tuesday,
Dog-Gone-It! Here's a highlight from my first attempt at Christmas card pics 2009....
*sigh*I'll try again, I guess.Although, I did get few decent shots of them separately...I may have to do a scenario like that instead. I'll see what I can savage. I did get this one good one of E...what a biscuit he was!
So irritating....but, certainly not shocking! ;)******************************************************On a happier note...LOL...I am having GREAT LUCK with the handsoap project from Chris, Just a Girl's website...the Goo Gone ROCKS!AND...this morning while I was in Publix, I found the Softsoap handsoap on sale for $0.79 EACH!Needless to say...I stocked! ;)What a NICE little giftie for VERY little $$!Speaking of giftie...Megan has her shop restocked...HURRY, those scarves & aprons won't last long (I snatched up three this morning, myself)!
Yesterday I was sulking...It is Christmas Village Weekend & couldn't go because I didn't have a sitter for Sneaky E...So, I decided to ride in & look at the Christmas goodies at Big Lots (which is a FAB place to buy gift bags, ribbon, etc for CHEEEEAAAPPPPP).I found myself back in the furniture dept and just LOOK at what I found!!!!!!
I have to admit...I've got a thing for pretty legs! ;)I've been fighting the URGE to SPURGE on these stools from Ballard...they're on sale right now, but I'm STILL way too tight to spend $159 on a stool!
These girls have some THICK legs...when I saw them I immediately thought of my kitchen island!!
It was SO time for our old stools to go...the legs on these guys were tearing my wood floor up! Daddy P claimed them immediately for his "Man Cave" (slate blue leopard print & all). I think I paid $60 each for these three years ago & have RECOVERED the cushioned top about five different times. They were fun, but their day had passed. ;)
It's hard to find PRETTY ((Cheap)) 26" counter height stools...these were $79 each...a wee bit more than I was hoping to spend, but I am IN LOVE!
Clearly, I should have stayed home & MOPPED my horribly nasty floor! LOLI'm doing it this morning, don't worry! On a side note...last night I'm sitting in my beloved, brand new caramel leather recliner (aka...children STEP BACK away from the chair, please!!!)...I won't let ANYONE sit in this baby except Daddy P...deliberately positioned her so that it is impossible to see the TV in it....
I'm fooling with the settings on my camera & totally didn't see the sneaky biscuit approach me with a PEN in his hand!AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!LET'S just say that if you put rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab & gently dab, it will remove INK from leather.(**sigh**)These kids!!!I'm jumping up to feed the darlings & see if I can get a Christmas Card picture out of them...get ready for ROUND ONE, girls! ;)Happy Weekend!!
