Hmmmm.
Someone seems to have
spilled cereal on the floor
thought about sweeping it up
and then taken off...
and left this small sneaker.
I shall endeaver to seach near and far
trying it on all young princes
to find the little culprit....
A 5 yeard old's optimism of not getting caught is really amazing.
Happy Sunday!

How is my left knee doing this to my jeans?
Mom sent me a little quiz via e-mail.
I now pass it on to you.

Four jobs I have had in my life:
medical supply warehouse worker
substitute high school English teacher
a temp in the office of a temp agency
mom
Four movies I would watch over and over:

Michael (named by Max and wearing a medal)
Jake (named by Alex and missing a nose)
and
24 (named by David...and it has nothing to do with the show)
These are our 3 bears in the yard as Christmas decorations.
The pyramid they built with on the front porch post Christmas.
Cool. Maybe they are retired show polar bears.
And today
they were seen sledding in the front yard.
I'm glad they took advantage of it in the am because by the afternoon, all 1/4th of an inch of snow was gone. After being staked in one spot all of Decemeber, it is nice to see them having fun.
Happy Wed:)

first a photo
cause you gotta have a photo
my new pal
jennifer pebbles
posing with a prop from the Creativity booth at CHA
it is made out of bath mats!
(the bird...not the pebbles)
ok
so at CHA a group of people ended up hanging out in a resturant late one evening
we are talking about scrapbooking
life
etc
like 10 of us
and someone
for some reason
gets the idea to go around and say how old we are
guess what
i was one of the oldest there
not by like a year
but by years
yeah...that was worth finding the italics button
i got married in college
had david 3 years later
i was always the youngest in the group of our married friends
and then the youngest mom
i liked that
at least i didn't know i liked that
until it was gone
i'm not the youngest
i'm not the middle-est
dude
i was like one of the oldest
i'm sitting there looking at them
thinking
you all are embryos
but i didn't say it
i smiled
and nodded
like i had some wisdom or something about me
that is my new thing
look like i got some wisdom....
i'll probably have to keep my mouth shut more....
haha:)
off to clean the house
happy friday!

i didn't vote
i
didn't
vote
ya know why?
i did a last
minute lo for CHA
i got the stuff
yest
scrapped it
packaged it
went to fed ex local #1
Kinkos
just
one
of
the
most
non
helpful
places
ever
the fed ex man
was
already
there
he drew me the map to
the fed ex
head quarters
like
in that same time
couldn't i have just
written out a label
and shipped the thing
with him?
i mean
really
look at the clock
we have 15 minutes to make it
to the next location
which would have been cake
had i gone south on the interstate
instead of north
but
man
was i ever making good time
in the wrong direction
turn around
sit at 2 lights
for
ever
with no cars in sight
get behind 2 fed ex trucks
taking their sweet time
getting to the fed ex store
pull into parking lot
"Kids
unbuckle now!"
I go running up to the door
lo's in hand
dragging kids
all 3
who's feet i do not think touched
the ground between the car and the door
we were like a red rover chain
me
as the crazed leader
they saw us coming
1 minute until 8 pm
and they unlocked the door
probably were sympathetic because i was dragging a parade of kids
or
the look in my eye
might have let think i was armed
either way
got the package shipped
and then i drove the kids to a pizza place we sat outside and ate pizza until 9 pm
excellent parenting
and everywhere i looked
i saw people with
"i'm a GA voter" stickers on
it really seemed like the each checked out stickerless t-shirt
and i think i even heard a few "tsk tsks"
it might have been because i was feeding my children a full hour after their bed time
but still
i felt bad
like meg ryan in "you've got mail"
when she said she got a pedicure and forgot to vote.
i was scrapbooking
and forgot to vote
i am not a ga voter
and NOW
i live in a whole different town
that is right
i didn't move
but the name of our town is different
see what happens when people vote?
dude.
you know where my husband was?
with a bunch of voters
watching the results come in
talking politics
i am sure
tryng to not mention his
crazy
scrapbooking
wife
and her
non
voting
ways.
the lo
someone
(ok...lisa
lisa russo***)
mentioned that i maybe don't use a ton of embellishments
so i made this lo all of embellishments
and a piece of paper
but just 1 sheet
it was inspired by a frame i saw at ikea
it looks like i was trying to be heidi here
hey
i'm not above that
but
the whole time
i was thinking
"heh heh...lisa...embellish this:)!"
happy wed
kellicrowe
***lisa russo and any subsidiaries of lisa russo inc. were in no way being critical of said, kelli crowe. it just came up in conversation. she is a mucho nicie. not rude. and i bet she would have voted yest if she lived in my town. (what are we calling it here again?) anyway...i could take it...not her...no...she could so kick box my tail. critism...i mean. i can take that. vote yes for critism. vote no to kick boxing violence***

This smiley balloon
freaks
me
out.
Hubby brought it home Dec. 5th.
DEC 5th PEOPLE.
It was for his 7 year anniversary working with the company.
(it is ok to think that is funny...I did a whole stand up routine when he brought it home about "keep your gold watch....I'll take the balloon. Yes...it was a fun gesture from the social staff to brighten his day.)
Ok
So he walks in and hands me this balloon on Dec. 5th.
"Here, this is for you"
he says with a smile.
We've been married for 12 years folks.
So I said,
"This is sweet of you to bring this to me....
and I know you love me enough to buy me a balloon.
But I know you didn't
So where did it come from?"
(stick in my monologue here)
Then we let our boys play with the balloon.
Sharp kiddos.
They recognized right away that there were 3 of them and 1 balloon.
Skirmish ensues.
Balloon becomes unattatched to the ribbon and floats to the top of the family room ceiling.
Fortunatly for us, everything that the kids fight over does not float to the ceiling...otherwise it would be pretty crowded up there.
So...there it stayed.
All during Christmas.
All thru New Years.
Right there.
Smiling at us.
Until Wednesday.
You heard me.
This past yesterday.
We were putting the kids to bed and there it was in David's room.
This morning it followed me around the laundry room.
Seriously.
It has to stop.
My 3 babies/c-section squashed out bladder can not take the giant smiley face surprises in each and every room.
Personally
I think there is more than 1.
Now
I am not violent
normally
but all I am saying is that if I happened to
run with scissors
and the balloon was in the way
well....you get he picture.
Oh
and here is the balloon and me
and my new hair cut.
I am no longer letting it grow out.
What
was
I
thinking?
That color...
no that it my natural color.
I will use it in a sentence:
That is the color hair I had naturally when I was 7.
SO naturally
it is my real hair color.
Yes.
Allison Kimball had a great, thought provoking blog on Monday.
This one
not on the thought provoking side.
You should read hers though.
Me.
I have a scissor emergency in the next room
wink

Remeber when Ross (on Friends) went to the spray on tan place?
Yeah.
Hey - it was funny when he messed up.
Ahem.
Well.
I went about a year and a half ago to get some spray on tan before we went to Mexico.
See, I am pale.
REAL PALE.
Some people call it fair.
That is a nice way to say it.
"Mirror Mirror on the wall...who is the palest of all?"
Not as elloquent.
SO.
I had 1 last spray on left.
We had a fancy party to go to one Sat.
I was wearing a strapless black vintagie dress.
So - why not get a little tan sprayed on?
There is a picture chart in the room of things to do.
Put hair in shower cap thing.
Remove jewelry.
Place lotion on hands and feet.
I did all this.
Now, it had been a while since I had done the spray thing.
So I get into the booth.
I push start.
Then I see the bronzer button.
I'm thinking - what did that do?
I think I got that last time.
Yes, I want the bronzer too.
Man this button is slippery.
BSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!
That would be the sound of the tan sprayers shooting on.
As I had considered the bronzer question...I apparently was getting my face closer and closer to the button...which is about 2 inches from these jets that propell dye all over you.
Lets just say, the inside of my nose and mouth are probably very tan.
So I jump back into position.
The thing sprays one side for 15 seconds and then you turn around.
(ROSS - the turning around is KEY)
So, the spray got up your nose and down your throat, Kelli.
WOW.
How did it not get in your eyes?
Well.
Just before it was time to turn around I realized I still had on my glasses.
DUH.
Rip those off.
By this time I was kinda rattled and turned around.
So I get out an look in the mirror.
Dude, my shower cap had slid down and was midway between my brow and my hair line.
I pulled it back....no tan on the upper half of the ol forehead.
NIIIICE.
So this stuff is dripping off of me and I am taking the drippings and smoothing them into my skin below my hair line.
Dryed off and went home.
It wasn't until like 5 hours later that I was able to tell if the tan took everywhere.
NOW.
That is a picture of Carol and Me.
(Yes, she looks glamourous all the time.)
Gee, don't I look tan?
NO?
Yeah, but don't I look like a normal shade of health?
Barely.
I know.
OH - but I did straighten my hair for the evening.
And cut a few bangs.
'Cause you should always cut your own hair just before going out.
So, I have learned that I am suppossed to be pale.
And just because the picture gram doesn't say to remove your glasses....it is probably a good idea.

Why is it a cold causes me to loose all sense of balance and coordination?
Like I don't feel bad enough with the watery eyes, a puffy brain feeling and the tiredness. I mean, it just seems cruel to tack on becoming a total spaz.
So yes...I have a cold.
And that isn't a big deal.
But.
I just hit my head on the door of the dryer at an angle and a speed that I doubt I could ever match again. Like I need the Gil Grisom to do some research and create a re-inactment video to show me how I did this.
Then.
Last night I got the boys all in bed.
I'm doing a victory dance in my head because my limbs are too tired to move.
I see a banana.
Hmmmm, banana soy smoothie here I come!
The blender was not properly put back together the last time it was taken apart and washed.
The bottom of it....not so tight.
The soy milk shot all over the kitchen propelled by what turned out to be a pretty impressive little motor in that cute red blender.
On the cabinets.
On me.
The wall.
That stove top that is just a joy and a half to clean.
Then I turn around.
You'd a have thought I had taken 2 gallons of milk and just flung it everywhere.
The floor.
Over to the counter on the other side of the kitchen.
The sink...which wasn't hard to clean at all....but it was just so far away from where the blender was sitting.
I also seem to have lessened lip grip on my glass.
I was drinking some OJ...trying to be healthy here...and it just streamed down on my shirt.
I know.
My sinuses are connected to my balance.
But still.
I wonder if I should cancell that intro to flaming baton twirling class for tonight?
I think I may go and see if I can watch TV without hurting myself.
