Ten Things to Smile About

It is always so fun to go back and see what all made me smile over the past month.  It's also astounding how fast the second half of the year has gone by.  I liked the slower pace of the first half.  I digress.

What made me smile....

1.  I got a much needed haircut!

2.  Went to the beach again, and got tackled by a six foot plus wave.  It made me smile because mostly all it did was go right over me and right on past me.

3.  My neighbors are such busy bodies that when there is odd happenings around here we make it a show.  My mom had sinus surgery(nothing to smile about) but when I brought her to my house with her sad little nose sling and I shook my finger at her vigorously it sure made us smile and laugh too.

4.  The first day of school was bittersweet for me.  I really am surprised at how much they have grown. Mostly Emily.
5.  Being retweeted by Micky Dolenz himself.  It hasn't happened again.  But you just never know!!


6.  Going to Indio with my bestie, Emmy and her family.  It's becoming a tradition of sorts!!

7.  I have come up with some acronyms that I can use in front my kids and not worry about them repeated.  Because I don't want them getting into trouble.  "DAB"  a dumb annoying .....well you get it.  And "AW" an attention whore.  Am I bad?  Perhaps.  Bad enough for Hadees.?  The jury is still out on that one.

8.  Chocolate shakes.  Yes I admit it. They do in fact make me happy

9.  Ryan singing, "I'm Sexy & and  I know it" in front of the mirror.

10.   School shopping with Ryan was quite the experience!

What made you smile this month??

I agree with MiMi- I need a hair cut too.

Yes, Indio has definitely become a tradition of sorts :) If only your neighbors would move away-- or at least learn to mind their own business!!

Thanks so much for linking up, oh and I added your link as it wasn't there :)

Well I guess someone just had to write a song to top, "I'm too sexy for my shirt..."

does that date me?

Make that a hazelnut chocolate shake for me.

I love the acronyms! I have been bad lately with saying Dammnit in front of Flintstone. I don't know where it's coming from! I never swear! I'm really going to have to fix that, though.

Sexy and I know it. Too cute. Video? ;-P

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
