Had To Empty My Brain Somewhere. . .
- I realize that the Rescue Hero toys and shows are trying to promote the everyday, nonviolent heros like fire fighters and doctors, but in the whole grand scheme of things, is it freakier to have someone shooting at you or is it worse to have your house picked up by a twister and thrown into the ocean? Just asking.

- Maggie is eating rice cereal. The first box I opened had a bug in it. Yum Yum. Gerber is sending people to inspect the commissary food storage and also sending me several coupons. They had better be good coupons.

- My Pampered Chef stoneware bar pan broke, and my food chopper melted in the dishwasher, and I called for free replacements exactly one week before the warranty expired. How perfect is that? A big whoot-woo to me for saving my receipt!

- I am in the process of overhauling my blog. Expect gi-normous changes soon.

- I got all of my stuff from the Stampin’ Up show I did before my vacation. I made this card today. What do you think?


- I left all of my childproofing gadgets at my parent’s house. Jonas is terrorizing.

- I returned two of the toys Jonas got for his birthday because they really weren’t age appropriate. I got a forty dollar store credit. I bought laundry detergent, stain remover, diapers, and one Rescue Heros guy for Jonas. He’ll never know the difference. Kid has toys coming out of his ears. Asking myself: who spends twenty bucks on a birthday present for a non-relative three year old? The kid is happy with a seventy-three cent matchbox car. I am officially a cheapskate.

- I have been trying to organize the millions of toys we do have. Everything is going into labeled boxes and Jonas may choose one in the morning and one after nap. They must be put away before a new box comes out. I also threw away a few toys, broken stuff and a perfectly good music playing elephant that played so loudly I wanted to rip off it’s head every time Jonas turned it on. I’m fighting back.

- I ate almost an entire devil’s food cake in the past three days.

Wonderful card - you're v talented.
Yay for you getting the toys organised. Scott came up with the labelled box idea this weekend. Now I just have to dredge up the energy to actually organise them...

Oops, somehow my home page came up as Dilbert.com ... it's fixed now.

I like the dynamic pattern of the card, and the texture, too. Colors and composition are very attractive!

You wanna help me sort through seventeen years of toys? Or at least give some advice to this old pack rat???

Darling card! You should go into business!

I've thrown away so many noise toys in my day, people who give them as gifts should go straight to.... ;-)

You made that card? Seriously? Very, very nice.

Once my son, ate half of a box of raisins. He gave me the rest of the box, I look in and blech. There were like 10 of those mealy worms crawling around in there. Lord knows how many he ate. :P That's my bug story, nice, eh?

Good luck in the toy war - It's a never ending battle though.
