BORN TO ROCK!

AND NO ONE DOES IT BETTER THAN LADY GAGA!

I'm a fan!

"I'm already crazy. I'm a fearless person. I think it creeps up on you. I don't think it can be stopped. If my destiny is to lose my mind because of fame, then that's my destiny. But my passion still means more than anything."

"Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are."

"If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light"

"Just dance — it's gonna be okay."

— Lady Gaga

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

EVERYDAY FOR THE LAST WEEK...

In the morning before school, my 13 year old has said "Happy Birthday Mom!"

*my birthday is August 14th*

I tell him this.

He says he knows.

I figure...at 13...and a boy?

He just told me that was sexist  :(

Take it while you can get it.

That's my thinking!

TO ME?

"YOU TOO

ARE THE QUEEN FOR THE DAY!"

Hmmm That's sexist too :(

Have a great Victoria Day Weekend

(all you Canadian Royal Watchers)

and to all of you

a safe and happy weekend.

HAPPINESS is...

VIVA LA DIVA






"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. ~A.A. Milne


 People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. ~H. Jackson Browne

WHY DID GOD MAKE MOMS?

NOW THIS TAKES THE CAKE!
I could not resist sharing this with you...
Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:



Why did God make mothers?

1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

2. Mostly to clean the house.

3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.



How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.

2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.

3. God made my mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.



What ingredients are mothers made of?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.



Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1. We're related.

2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's mom like me.



What kind of a little girl was your mom?

1. My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.

2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.

3. They say she used to be nice.



What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1. His last name.

2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?

3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?



Why did your mom marry your dad?

1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my mom eats a lot

2. She got too old to do anything else with him.

3. My grandma says that mom didn't have her thinking cap on.



Who's the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.

2. Mom. You can tell by room patrol. She sees the stuff under the bed. Dad is easy. Just hug him.

3. I guess mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.



What's the difference between moms and dads?

1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.

2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.

3. Dads are taller and stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friends.

4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine..



What does your mom do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don't do spare time.

2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.



What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.



If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.

2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it not me.

3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

I AM SO EXCITED!

THERE IS A DESIGN CALL FOR KENNY K STAMPS!


Bearly Mine Stamps put out a Design Call today for KennyK.  Just the other day, and I can hardly believe this - talk about Divine Economy - I wrote KennyK and asked him the next time there was a space for a New Designer for his company to let me know.  He said Bearly Mine, who handles the KennyK Girlz blog challenges are the ones who organize such luscious endeavours! (can you hear me sigh?)

So today, I open my subscription to Bearly Mine and am blown away...they are asking for new Designers and a Team Leader.  So all you LOVERS of KennyK raunchy and gorgeously funky digis, hop on over there, purchase a stamp, get out your best coloring crayons and enter your card!

This is an opportunity NOT TO BE MISSED!  Not only do they have a great DT, but the stamps are Ultra Fun.  You can look at this recent challenge and you will see what I mean about the Team.  Best of Luck to all of you who choose to Hop on board!!  This is my entry...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME!

I just mailed out 250 cards to FROM OUR HEARTS, an organization that mails cards to the Chaplains Overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and all the War Torn Countries where OUR TROOPS ARE FIGHTING AND KEEPING THE PEACE...FOR US!  Having been a Chaplain in my work days, and living in CANADA'S MAIN MILITARY TOWN, this cause is very close to my own heart.  So in the midst of doing my Ph.D. and all else, I found time to create 250 cards since I last spoke TO YOU on Valentine's day.

Today, I am going to begin sharing them with you.
