Observations...


  • When you put "followers" as a label into WeHeartIt  you find a twitter picture of Jesus... 
  • Wine postpones dinner....
  •  It's quicker to acquire Facebook fans than blog followers. 

So, we did it. We made a Facebook fan page. Look, follow through. We're getting good at this.

15 minutes in and we have 9 fans. We rock. You know you love us, how could you not? Anyways, back to the Facebook, this is our page, become a fan, or like us or summin', cuz, ya know, we like you too...

Facebook Fan Page



It's Wednesday, hmmm.....


Well, we're doing it again. It's Wednesday, and we're.... um.... drinking wine. Wednesday may as well be called Wine Wednesday from here on out.

Today our excuse was that it was sunny. Sunny Deck Drinking is essential to good blogging, or so we are telling ourselves. It sounds like a good excuse, doesn't it?

Today was actually a strategy day, or it was supposed to be. How to gain more followers? That was the question we are supposed to be working on atm. But we had to sit on the deck, drink wine, and bitch first. Now, maybe the wine had gained control over the day.

No, it hasn't... we are totally in control... mostly.

Here is what we came up with... A Facebook Fan page. It's a good place to start, right? Well, we actually started with Twitter last week, but we don't have any followers (NudgeNudgeWinkWink) so it doesn't count. We wonder, if we start a fan page, will you become a fan? And if you become a fan, will you become a follower of our blog?

Well... we'll be right back, we're going to Tweet and start a fan page. We'll be back after this commercial break.

MixTapeMonday



It's that day again... Monday.

I hate Mondays, as a rule, but this morning my mom took me out for breakfast (love you Mom!), so it's not so bad.

While eating breakfast, warm in the cafe, a steaming cuppa chai warming my paws, I watched my children (Kim's too) run laps (ok, they didn't actually run, they walked. Well, not really even walked, more like moseyed) around their school (all of the classes do this every morning). Maybe I shouldn't take pleasure in watching my children engaging in an activity that they clearly hate, but it (as well as my Mom) really made my morning. Sometimes children deserve a tiny torture, don't they?

Now to music. We've gone for upbeat music this week, to go with the spring weather. As usual, Side A (first 6 songs) are mine and Side B (last 6, obviously) are Kims. Not that that really matters, since we mostly listen to the same music. But anyways...

Hope you all have an easy Monday.

Oh such pretty things.......



Well it's Sunday, the end of a long day and weekend, but a great one. Last night I went to a friends 40th birthday party and the theme was Carnival....it was a blast and everyone dressed up, skimpy, colorful costumes, make up and feathers everywhere, it was great. Everyone was so creative ( I will share pics after I upload to my computer). It was a fun night.

So for tonight blog I'm going to share some pretty things, some of it reminds me of the carnival theme........enjoy!

Letters...



One for you and you and you...




 


Dear Ethan, Stop hiding the TV remote before you go to school. Contrary to popular belief, Mom does not need help curbing her TV "habit". NOW GIVE ME THE REMOTE!!! MAMA'S MISSING HER STORIES!!!
















Dear Book, I wish you would end. Why are you so boring? Do you know where the remote is?





 







Dear Chris, You are the rain in my rainbow. (Don't look at me like that, it's a good thing)











Dear Kotex Commercial, You are making my life right now. I see you everyday and I still laugh every time.










Dear Kaidence, If you keep choosing dirty clothes to wear to school, I promise, the kids will start calling you Stinkence... because I will tell them to.















Dear Tea, Why are you cold before I'm done with you?












Dear Daddy, You saved my day yesterday. You really are the very bestest Daddoo in the entire world and when you are old and feeble, I promise, I will take very very good care of you (**cough** while I'm visiting you in the old folks home).
