I was caught off guard when I saw this photo on Etsy. I wonder if you will have the same reaction?

Nice Shirt.. unusual handmade designs.

Here it is in another color…

The seller also makes these pretty cool dresses. I wonder why her model doesn’t model these?

Do you remember that GIANT TV I talked about HERE

? Well it’s not working. Some people LOVE TV and others think it’s evil. I wouldn’t go as far to say I love it.. but I like it a lot.. I was looking forward to watching "Burn Notice" that I have on DVD .. or maybe a little "True Blood" on HBO. But for some reason it’s not working. I’m not too worried about it, because The Man.. can fix almost anything that has electricity running to it. He can do this with his eyes closed and one hand tied behind his back. He says it’s a light engine or it might need a new lamp. I’m hoping for the lamp.

Without a TV I start thinking about all kinds of things.. like chocolate cake, needlepointing and well toys I liked to play with when I was little… Which got me thinking I wonder if any of the toys I played with as a child are on eBay?

This is Quick Curl Kelley. I loved her red hair. She made me want red hair..

I had a Henry plush dog by Animal Fair. This is like a squeeze toy.. but I couldn’t find a

Henry photo. I slept with Henry every night.

Every Saturday night I would get my Barbie Dream Boat out (just like this one)

and watch the Love Boat on TV and play with Kelley and my dream boat.

What was your favorite Toy?

I would never call myself an animal person. Growing up my parents liked dogs, and to this day I think they both like the unconditional love of a dog. Neither one of them really liked cats. Just to see what cats were like.. in my early 20's I had cats. I figured out about 15 years ago I was allergic to some animals, so I didn't have any pets until I met The Man. He lived out here with a few cats that "found him" and no dogs (or degus for that matter).

Wednesday the kids and I were going to a Birthday Party when we saw 2 kittens, and being the loon I am, we picked them up, put them in our car and took them home. Because of these two new additions to our home, it sparked a debate about Beauty vs Intelligence, and it's all because of this:

and this..

You see we find these kittens super cute..

This is Ivana. (to know more about Ivana go here) I'm not call Ivana or her brothers ugly..

It's just Ivana, SCOTT! and Mr. Bigglesworth are really smart… they play and do kitten like things everyday. I don't believe they have ever walked between the railings on the stairs and fallen or fallen off the arm of the chair several times in one day (like the two new kittens do).

This kitten fell off the sofa and the arm of a chair several times.

This one walked between the spindles and fell down to the landing. She also

got her head caught in the slats of a chair and fell off the sofa.

So What do you think? Can you have beauty and intelligence?

I'm praying that you can!

The Man is on this bicycle kick.. He’s bought himself and all the kids a new bikes.

The other night he brought home helmets. As a mother I have nothing against helmets. I think they are awesome and save lives. But the dark, non-mother side of me can only see Eric Cartman on South Park in his bike helmet when I look at my sweet #2 in his.

He tried on his helmet and he looks nice in it.

But I started laughing (because I was thinking of South Park) to which he gave me this look

Which only made me laugh more.

The Man was like.. “what’s your problem?” I want to tell him, but the

kid keeps making these goofy faces… like this one:

I’m a bad mother. Please don’t tell the bike safety commission.
