here kitty, kitty

OK so I ADORE Halloween. and I ADORE my pets. Somehow the two just don't tend to mess very well. I have been lucky enough to have two dogs that seemed to get a kick out of putting on a costume once in a while, but then again I have NEVER been able to get them to wear anything on their heads. Cats, well the two I had growing up let me know under no uncertain terms exactly what they thought of me dressing them into anything festive. I got the scratches to make sure the point it home.

So when I came across today's site & almost spit out my morning tea! Kitty Wigs! too funny & again I am kinda glad I'm not a cat owner. I love 'em, but I might be tempted to try again for dressing up kitty! :)

Polyvore love!

So I have a bit of an addiction. Its playing with LOADS of clothes I could never afford. In addition to the higher end stuff there is actual affordable things and many, many, many of them on Polyvore.

You just mix up accessories and clothes to make sets or outfits or just artsy designs.

I could do this for hours... & do at times.

Well low & behold I found out one of the companies that I used their accessories in a few of my sets has featured my sets ON THEIR WEBSITE!!! So I have to give love to Amocacushi Boutique.

Check out the bottom of the page. There you will find my designs like these...

Its my party & I do what I want to

PARTY ~ PARTY ~ PARTY!

ok so I might not be having a party, but I will be having at least a cupcake, a candle (or a few) & a wish soon. IF I was having a party, I would want fellow blogger Kara to help me plan it.

I love all the pictures & ideas from today's site, which happens to be her blog, Kara's Party Ideas!

..because you are so dear

Oh today is just yummy sugar buzzed up goodness.

52 cupcakes is about what it sounds like LOADS of things to check out and make you drool right there on your keyboard!


So delish!

& for a tad more sweetness to ensure that you are good & saturated....

Ye be a warned.

So I'm sending this out WELL in advance so there are no excuses for not celebrating National Talk Like a Pirate day this Saturday & every September 19th!


Today's site will help you landlobbers get ye heads on straight. Its...

PIRATE LAWS!!!

Enjoy, or you WILL be sent to Davy Jones locker for a LOOOOONG time out.

Tues Treasures: Family Fun

So I grew up LOVING shows like Double Dare & Funhouse. Insanity with prizes! ....& good clean fun that got sloppy.

So now you too can get in on a home game.

HEAD CASE WATER BALLOON GAME!!!

Strap on the goofy looking basket to strap on your head (take the necessary pictures of how silly everyone looks), then toss water balloons at each other to see who can catch them with their head! Simple? yes. Fun? yes. HILARIOUS & guaranteed to create a few memories? you betcha!
Less than ten backs for priceless family fun!

Heck get really creative & just have a whole line up of games to see who can get the best 3 out of 5 or whatever! ;)

Happily ever after?

I came across these photos by Dina Goldstein & they have struck a cord.

Maybe there was a certain darkness behind those dreams. The smiles hid the unhappiness that sometimes reality brings.


Like how in modern times Belle would have to take some drastic measures to stay the Beauty.

Anyway today I give you a new look at the fairy tales. The Fallen Princesses collection.

Something just isn't working right here..

UNBELIEVABLY CUTE... but I really wanted to help the lil guy roll over. Such a sweet face & such a hard struggle. Poor thing.

So to the site...

STUFF ON MY MUTT

I may have posted a link to this before, but its ALWAYS being updated & is just too cute.

September 11th, 8 years later.

So today is not a day for laughter on this blog. (Although I encourage it in celebrating our life and ability to!) Yet the subject is one of honor, so a bit more serious tone today.

The site I present to you is the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center site.

May the day serve in celebration on the chances we have, the blessing we received & remembering those who make it possible. Tomorrow is not promised. On this day above all others we are reminded of that fact. Many got dresses, stressed and went in to jobs that they never made it home from. Think about that. Do you want to end your life stressing?

I invite you to see the beauty & positivity in EVERY moment, no matter how small. Our mood is our choice.

I am be annoyed an angered by the traffic or that I have too much to carry into work. OR I can be amazed at how many people there are in the world & wonder what each car contains... the doctor that will save lives, the friend that will give a hug right when someone needs it, or the person who needs a smile to change there mood & I am the one who can give it. I can be grateful that I have so much and the ability to carry it myself. :)

Refuse to live in fear. Refuse to add to the negativity, chaos & intolerance of others.

Never forget, but strive to be a positive change so we never have to mark a day like that ever again.

<3 Thank you to all who helped in so many ways. Big hugs and loads of hope for those who are still suffering. Thank you to the survivors who are here today for showing us life does go on. My sympathies to the friends and families who lost loved ones.

Cherish the moments. They may be all that matter after all.

In honor of those who were involved or effected by the events that happened 8 years ago today in New York, the Pentagon, and on Flight 93.

Store it at Jones

This website never fails to crack me up. I came across the viral commercials a while back & we all laughed. Several months later a friend emailed me one.... still I laughed.

Even today he makes me giggle into laughter.

I don't know why its so funny. Maybe its the delivery, the honesty or just the sheer rawness of the marketing campaign & business plan.

You check it out. Got anything you need to store?


BE SURE TO WATCH HIS COMMERCIALS.. & there are a few by now!

Tues Treasures: Safety First

So this is a new feature I'm trying out. Seems I have a knack for finding oddities. You know that stuff that you know you need.... (hear the sarcasm in my words). I enjoy surprising relatives and friends with gifts that make you wonder where in the world did she get this? Most have everything they need & can get it if they don't, so I bring the laughs, the conversation and the memories....at least I try.

Like a few years ago I got my parents the Clapper (surely no one can forget that device) & teased them about being lazy. We laughed & it wasn't that much. To this day (& my mother's embarrassment) my Dad uses it & enjoys clapping from bed to turn the light off. He also loves the toilet shaped soap dispensor that is motion activated to yell, "Hey don't forget to wash your hands!". My Dad has a great sense of humor.

So here comes Tuesday Treasures!

Every Tuesday I am going to try to bring you something unique an new. Something a bit wacky, wonky & wonderful.

This post is about something you know you want for yourself...

Heck if the news is right you might just need one! Oh yes I am getting ready for SWINE FLU.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Now why would you want a boring old white or blue mask when going out in the dangerous public? Plus you risk putting on someone else's by mistake! The horror! With these at least you will always know which is yours!

Cats with wings? Watch out birds!

Animals. Weird stuff.

What more do I need to say.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosities.

Go ahead find the Chupacabra. & tell that African Grey to put the cig down!

Give 'em a Freak Show

So I'm not a fan of the mega big box. It's smiley faced logo is just creepy to me. I hate the poor ethics that I have found associated with the chain & frankly I NEVER have a good experience there. Doesn't matter what town or location, it always seems like a certain side of human nature comes out there that otherwise is not present. Well I'm not the only one who thinks that the place can be a bit of a freak show. I just don't know how someone stuck around long enough to create this site & have to wonder how long they will be allowed to be up before getting sued?

So step right up, see the freaks that are your neighbors, your fellow americans, and hopefully no one you know!

I give you the PEOPLE OF WALMART! Enter if you dare....

Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I want a lottay! mmmm.

So fall is upon us. I know this since I had my first of what I hope is many, many, many of Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

Basically it was like this...


I waited to get in my car before I could taste it. Every time it got close to my mouth I inhaled the divine scent and about passed out I was in such bliss. MMMM. LOVE IT!

What is it about this decadent drink. I take mine as a grande, with soy milk and real whipped cream. Perfection.

Every year my parents take at least one trek to the mountains to see the leaves on the mountains. While I remember these trips as a child, it was more about "yeah, its more colored leaves, whopidy do. Nooooooow why aren't we moving?" I tended to finish a good book while we waited in traffic. So I haven't been on one of these trip in a long time. Maybe I should since I know as an adult it would be different now that I can appreciate the miracle.

So today's site is a virtual trek to the mountains I spent several moments of my childhood in, the Great Smokies. It really is a beautiful place & I have been back, just not during leaf turning season.


& to think I wondered why they were called the Great Smoky Mountains? Just takes looking at them one time in the morning light to see why. <3
