This stuff is going to be the death of me...

...ooooooh my goodness....I so wish I had not followed in the steps of my bloggy friends Christi and Carolyn to go to Barnes and Noble to find the Artful Blogging book on Friday ....because although I'm happy with my book, can anyone go in that place and NOT go to Starbuck's...I didn't think so...and yes I love my book...but I have a new addiction...it has taken the form of the Tall Cinnamon Dolce with whipped Cream...have you tried this stuff...???? Cover your children's eyes...It is sex in a cup...it is heaven...utopia....I'm pretty sure I still hear the angels singing....I'm not kidding...and since that first once on Friday, ask me how many times I've been back to Starbuck's ...go on...4 ....4 TIMES!!! That's LIKE $20!!!! I think they must be putting crack in it or something...(disclaimer:please don't sue me Starbuck's even if you are putting crack in your Cinnamon Dolce, but I'm sure you're not, because that would be totally illegal)....So whatever you do...do not go get one, because I can not be held responsible for the sudden cravings that are sure to plague you for the rest of your natural life....oh god...I'm going to have to go get another one...

Other than my Starbuck's obsession over the weekend....and no Dianna, I have no idea how many points are in a Cinnamon Dolce (Dianna by the way is really embarrassed because her friend Kelly posted a picture of them at 17 here...I think it's adorable so I ask all of you to go by and tell her how cute she is)...

I tried to get some creating done...I've been trying to make a bunch of stuff to sell at a craft fair that a friend of mine has a booth at...I have no idea how well it will do, and honestly I'm not sure I'm going to get enough done...I'm just not very good at mass producing things..it all just takes me too long

and my work area is a complete disaster because of all the crap I've had out to make stuff...

but that's ok I work better in chaos...

I'm a bit late with this as she posted it on Thursday I think, but if you haven't heard or seen Lisa B has posted the address on her blog to a boy who could use some scrappy love...this will take you less than 5 minutes and it's an easy way to do something nice for someone...I unloaded a buttload of CM stickers...on their way to Brian ...so go check it out...

this is getting long but too bad I want to tell you a story anyway...:-) On Saturday I took the boys to Family Video to rent a game and a movie, well our local store always plays old classics while you're browsing and being the movie buffs we are around here, sometime we get a little "involved" in the movie...they were playing "The Karate Kid" the first one and we had just finished picking out what we wanted when we got up to the counter and realized what was on ..it was like the last 15 minutes of the movie...so here we are, the boys and I, acting out the scene, d we were right in front of the store..I was the Cobra Cai Sensei, Britain was Daniel-san, Landon was Mr Miaggi ( I know I spelled it wrong)...anway the cashiers hadn't seen it before...

can you even imagine...???...

(i put this very frightening picture of me without makeup here to scare the life out of you....but look how good my eyebrows look...I have a really good eyebrow lady)

so it gets to the very end and of course we're all standing on one leg...doing the crane move...getting ready to kick Cobra Cai butt...and I turn around and realize not only do we have an audience, but a bunch of other kids have joined us and so we're all cheering doing our crane kicks...I told them they should get a few couches and a popcorn machine...I might almost have them talked into it...it was hilarious...unfortunately I couldn't hold the crane pose, my purse, movies, snacks and balance a camera so I had the boys do a dramatic recreation in the parking lot....and yes in case this hasn't proved it to you yet...we are nuts...

A couple people asked me how I like "Lipstick Jungle" unfortunately I didn't end up getting to watch it due to the shooting at the Courthouse in Kirkwood, MO...this is local news here...it's absolutely horrible what happened and my heart and prayers go out to those families and the community...

I have some catching up to do in a creative sense...so I hope to do that tomorrow...

I'm going to start walking tomorrow, I hope some of you are too...feel free to take pics and share them!!

I know I don't have a list up yet...I'm looking for a blogger template (preferably free) with 3 columns, and trying to find a new template...that's my excuse..
