greasy hair = I will see people I know
I know this. Why did I doubt? Every time I just run out to like WalMart or somewhere else glamourous and think, "It's not a beauty contest. No one is going to see me" I see someone I know. Not someone who sees me showered and clean on a regular basis but someone I haven't seen in YEARS. Case in point, I saw a partner from my old firm (who I haven't seen in about 5 years) and a guy I went to high school with (who I haven't seen in about 15 years). I was attempting to pull off a headscarf look today bc I had to put something in my hair last night that kind of made it have a permanent wet look. I don't think I was successful with that fashion step out.
WE have been the laziest people today. The kids and I have done nothing but watch tv. I did a layout but I"m not sure I like it.
Busy as a Bee
We have been some busy folks here at the Casa.
Busy at work.
Busy being out of town.
Busy with birthday parties and school and what not.
Been working with the June Scripts kit (yummilicious! Cute KI, Cosmo Cricket and Oct. Afternoon Paper - the Thickers are mine).
So sad about Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. So sad.
More to come later.
Craftiness
I have not blogged in a LOOOOONG while. Just too much going on to blog.
So, I have a few pictures to show you what I've been doing.
Happy Easter!
He is risen! We went to Friday night church instead of Sunday morning church so I missed singing "Christ the Lord is Risen Today". It's my favorite hymn.
It has been a busy few days. Didn't have to work Thursday or Friday so we had playdates both days.
On Thursday, V and I played "Mothers of the Year" and did an art project with the kids. Here is "Cam's". I put it in quotes bc I totally did the whole thing. She was not so into the art project. I took lots of pics but I'm just too lazy to put them on the blog. Basically, we got some 8x10 canvas boards, painted the background, made an egg template, painted a white egg on the canvas, then laid the template down again and let the kids "decorate" the egg with paint and stamps, oil pastels and glitter.
Friday we went to the mall with MJ&J and rode the carousel, ate Chic fil A and walked around. Seriously, I really needed one of those kiddie leashes.
Saturday we had family Easter dinner #1. Sunday, Easter dinners #2 and #3. I think my children have eaten more than their weight in candy.
I have a small, teenie confession to make. I have purchased the Twilight DVD. Just the regular DVD, not the mega extended version. I know, I know, I know. I totally panned the movie here on this very blog last fall, but I seriously think they edited it a little bit before the DVD release. Yes, the makeup is still horrifying and the hair is still bad, but I didn't laugh out loud once the second time around. RPattz (thanks Cleolinda) is pretty cute, I must admit. Also, I found some links to pics from New Moon and WOW they listened to the general public and hired a decent makeup artist. As V said, the real test will be when we see what Carlisle looks like.
Speaking of Miss Cleo (linked above), I cannot stop laughing at her recaps. They are endlessly funny. I especially like it when she tells Edward to, "shine on you prissy diamond". LMAO!!!!! Seriously, it NEVER gets old. I keep just laughing. She's from the 'ham, btw.
That's all I got peeps.

It was only a matter of time...
Great news iPhone and iTouch users. Skype now has a free app. for the iPhone and iTouch. Skype everywhere I go? Youbetcha.
Also, Southwest is flying from the 'ham direct to LaGuardia. I mean, its like Christmas.
Wanted to share a fun little layout I did a few weeks ago. Just for fun. No kit involved. No challenge. No page call. Just my favorite colors and pictures and products.
Happy Maundy Thursday to all!

Rain? I'm not such a big fan.
Dreary and depressing. Where is my pleasant, 73 degree spring weather?
Something I find funny (not depressing) is how normal, reasonable adults will go to GREAT lengths to hide goldfish death from their children. I thought maybe it was just this one friend of mine (coughcoughbelindacough), but apparently, its kind of wide spread. My friend has bought numerous goldfish to replace dying ones and has even told her daughter that she has "taken the fish" to the vet when it was "missing" from the bowl. It is cracking me up.
Did anyone see the google april fools day joke? It was funny.
Just wanted to include the above pic of Leah, Karly and me in NYC a couple of years ago. I really want to go back. really really.
Also, remember the "I need $2300 spend at Anthropologie" post? I now need probably twice that much to spend at J Crew. Their new spring stuff is to die for. Their embellished tees are to die for (and I so need MORE tee shirts). So anyone who has any extra cash, please send it my way.
