Lost & Me....

Okay so I have been a little absent. Chucky has a science fair project and has yet to come to me or the computer or the library looking for some help. I obviously have been doing some research on his project, but it has been more than 10 years since I have done a science fair project! I am going to a lot of websites for help info, but there is still the grey matter that I am trying to figure out. Oh and did I mention Chucky has a partner for this project? Yeah a partner, so I wonder if I need to get with his partner and find out what info he has, or if he has been so gung ho like Chucky? I will pop in and out but won't be posting until I have finished my the science fair project.

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you all that I am also going to be starting a get to know me Saturday:
I will post five things about myself with a little history/discription, and if you want to participate just leave a comment or even post it with a link, cause I would love to get to know you too!
Get to Know Me Saturday:
1. I have a shoe and handbag fetish- I love them, even if they just sit in my closet and look pretty. I have been known to ask people if I could feel their handbag. I have also been known to pay more than I should for either of them;}
2. I have a really dry & sarcastic sense of humor- People often take this as being rude, but if you get to know me you will understand and hopefully learn to love me ♥
3. I don't & can't lie- "If you tell the truth, you don't have to have a good memory"-Juge Judy
I would rather you know the truth or me tell the truth then to sit there and let my conscience eat me alive!
4. I don't have a favorite color- I love browns, greys, blacks, greens, yellows, all of the colors, but just don't have a particular color. If you were to look at my wardrobe you would think that it is heathered brown or brown, but that's just because I have red hair and don't feel like I look good in other colors!
5. I am very impatient- I have no patience for anything, if you say a certain time, mean it, either be here or there. Please don't look at the scenery when you have lived here your whole life, that building has been there for-ev-er it hasn't changed in the last 20 minutes from when you passed it to get to the store.
I know I sound like an ungreatful, spoiled, rushed little girl, but that's not the case, I just have no patience;}
I hope that you will join in because I love to get to know people; I would love to get to know you!

4 Babies Worlds Apart...

What better way to spend Mother's Day 2010 than with a movie about BABIES!
On Mother's Day, May 7th 2010 an amazing movie is going to hit theaters.
It is a movie about 4 babies from around the world who are simutaneously being followed and filmed from before birth and on. 4 countries, Mongolia, Namibia to San Francisco and Tokyo, you will see even though we are worlds apart we are very similar creatures.

Bayar from Bayanchandmani, Mongolia 

Bayarjargal, who lives in Mongolia with his family, is one of four babies followed from birth to first steps in Thomas Balmes' BABIES

 

Ponijao from Opuwo, Namibia

Here is a trailer from the movie that I found very cute, funny and yet very familiar. Let me know if you plan to see it when it comes out on Mother's Day. Chucky and I watched the trailer together and we were both chuckling. He asked me when it was over, "Did I do that when I was a baby?" I told him yes and he said, "All babies do stuff like that huh mom!" I had to agree with him again. So wether you are in for some cuteness or trying to teach your children that we aren't different from the rest of the world, take them to see Babies!

Flashback...

My son is always telling me how "uncool" I am so when the opprotunity arose for us to bond over some Bon Jovi, I jumped at the chance.
We were in the car on our way home when "You Give Love a Bad Name"  by Bon Jovi came on the radio. Of course I turned it up, I look over and Chucky is singing, so I started in {psyche}. Chucky stops singing and asked me, "how do you know this song?" He acted like it was a new song, a song that had just came out and that he ultimately discovered. I said I used to listen to this in junior highschool, and he said, "it's that old?" I thought my god, that is an old song. It doesn't seem like yesterday, but it sure doesn't seem like thirty years ago.
I sit here with a smile on my face just thinking of the good and bad of the 80's and think to myself... I am so glad I got out alive!
Do you remeber the 80's? Well here is a little back in time action for you. Feel free to laugh out loud, get a little red in the face and definately say to yourself, What Was I Thinking? Enjoy;}

Things that I could live without:

neon-anything neon socks, bracelets, shirts, shoe laces, t-shirt clips, big hair- the claw, keds without laces, keds with neon laces, parachute pants, cut off sleeveless shirts, aqua net, pee wee herman, big shoulder pads, skater haircuts{lop sided}, garbage pail kids, floppy disks.

   

               

Things that I wish we still had:

trapper keepers, popples, scratch-n-sniff stickers, sticker albums, sticker collections, roller skating rinks, tetherball, polaroid cameras, swatch watches, jelly shoes, atari, and of course all of our 80's music.

My Angle...

Week 12 I Heart Faces: Angles

I was headed to my oncology appointment when I saw this church with 2 beautiful steeples: one with this cross and the other with a fleur de lis. I pulled over and started to snap away. I lucked out because I didn't have to change any of the coloring in the photo, it was a black and white day. To see more angle photos click on the button....

I was driving to my oncology appointment and I had to pull over because I saw these beautiful steeples on a church one had a cross and the other a fleur de lis. I got a picture of each one and figured it was a sign of good things to come!

They like me, they really like me?
