What lurks under a desk......

see that -->?

it became one of my favorite inks thanks to my pal Brooke, yes, even more favorite than my distressing inks *gasp* well sortof, Ranger does rock. Ahem..anyway I was using said ink when the cover just flung itself OFF MY DESK and disappeared into the sock dimension. Seriously. I hunted everywhere for that lid - not to be found. Then I went on a mission to find and purchase said ink. To no avail. Well imagine my surprise when my acryllic block that was momentarily misplaced, leaped off my desk, bounced a few times. AND, you guessed it, FOUND THE EVIL, ROTTEN, LOW DOWN, DIRTY DUST BUNNY THAT HAD MY LID IN ITS EVIL CLUTCHES and was in the process of acquiring my acryllic block to use for it's dastardly plot. to make me crazy. snor. as if. Imagine my surprise (said sarcastically). I do clean under the desk but evidently not enough.snort. It's poor Roxie's been contributing to these evil dust bunnies on a regular basis., and it really really surprises me that she has hair left on her body. SO with my HUGE flashlight in tow I fearlessly snatched my lid and block from the jaws of the evil dust bunnies. And the happy ending??? you so know there's one. The baggie I was keeping the ink alive in, well kept it safe and moist. bwahahahahahaa. Then I found my broom and dustpan, dispatching those evil dust bunnies with glee.

Secrets...................

This lo evolved via the journaling which seriously came out of the blue. I was reading the book "keeping a journal you love" by Sheila Bender and evidently something must of sunk in. *who knew* Because while walking the dogs which is a serious no brainer let the subconcious rule type of thing, the journaling poppped into my mind. The poor mutts were dragged home, literally, so I wouldn't forget because in the 5-10 minutes it would've taken them to sniff and do their ting, the words would have been gone from the ole brain. sigh. hate.that.seriously. So I'll be sticking my nose back in this book because I LOVE how this turned out. Again, a hybrid which actually matches one I did called At Another X-roads - where the journaling just blew me away. It seems like anther lifetime and indeed it was - look at how young the kidlets were.

Okaaaayyy enough with the serious stuff. ON a kind of lighter note in trying to deal with the seriously cute and adorable teenager in my life, who can be the world's biggest PIA, I know I'm not alone!! bwahahaha and you friends that have them coming up to this age. Well good luck. smirk.

Because well

boys will be boys.

but mom i'm SIXTEEN (or whatever age they are at the time.

and the ever popular Teenagers KNOW EVERYTHING!

But Shane, bless his heart *smirk* , has been rolling from one thing to another is seriously cruising. Seriously.

Bank ROBBERS working on the INSIDE.....

I've been in a lousy mood, and it irritates me because I had such a wonderful visit with Liz and Kevin and the baby bump bwahahahaha! BUT, got my bank statement from the credit union with $70 bucks in overDRAFT charges. Now how can this be you ask???? Well let me tell you.....they charge you a fee of course, for you taking YOUR money out of an ATM machine when its NOT from one of THIER inconvenient locations. However when said account is in the RED do they take the amount you deposited and deduct the negative amount? OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Because for the negative $2.00 in there, when you deposit $30, by gosh they let YOU HAVE the $30 and CHARGE YOU $35 FOR THE PRIVILEDGE instead of flashing NSF on the ATM screen. Whatever happened to NSF you inquire???? WELL they couldn't MAKE MONEY if they actually USED that now could they????? Besides they really don't WANNA inconvenience you. Seriously. This would be Tropical Federal Credit Union in case anyone cares. Yea Yea I should be be looking in there occasionally, but DAAAAAAAYYYYYYAAAAAMMMMMMM! Just send Guido the next time and I'll get the money from him! That's about what it amounts to. SNORT. Oh and don't get me started on the cell phone bill. *grimace*

San Diego Old Town!

I'm sooooooooooooooooo not done w/the San Diego pix yet. bwahahaaha! Old Town was awesome and to get there you take the bus from the hotel to Fashion Valley Mall and ride the green line to Old Town. Its a great, fast ride and I managed to get there before everyone else did. snort. So I basically had the whole town to myself. Loved that. After strolling around Old Town, I connected with the scrapbook shoppe that was nearby and walked, OR ACTUALLY, casually strolled over and made some FUN purchases of the new Kaiser line out. Let me tell you what a yummy line that is, and split the loot with my pal Brooke. bwahahaha. Ideas are perculating as we speak. smirk!

Whale watching in San Diego

had the same result as the polar bears at the zoo! Zip, zero, nada. Oh they said they were migrating. Uhuh. Suuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeeee! Always happens when I get on a boat. Which I may was a flippin C O L D ride. At least I wasn't chumming as some were. smirk. I did get some sea LIONS and seals. There's a difference. Suuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrreeeeeee! The lighthouses are cool and will be added to my lighthouse book. A couple of stickboats for ambience. bwahaha. A couple of sea creatures. The Midway battleship, from the water and the famous KISS. Love that. All in all I had fun, made some friends and watched for the elusive whales. I do have a raincheck, which I'll have to use next year because alas, they have migrated. snort.

San Diego Zoo Slideshow!

San Diego RAWKS!!!! I absolutely loved it there and the ZOOO!!!!!! omg!!! It's a GREAT ZOO (even though I don't like to see wild animals caged) there are times when they need to be. I went twice to the Polar Bears exhibit and let me tell you its a HIKE UP A VERY STEEP HILL! Did I mention I did this TWICE???? Well - NO BEARS so I'm thinking there are NO BEARS. I'm just saying. Should've been there. I walked everywhere!!! Gotta earn those points baby. Even rode the train AND the bus to get there. That was fun, and that's how I went everywhere. In fact, I was getting so good at the trolley/train thing, I could tell people where to go. SMIRK!
