its all in the stars i tell ya...

my horiscope for today:

The image of a neat and tidy Virgo doesn't even begin to touch the possible unraveling of your emotions today. You have been upgraded from a tropical depression into a hurricane, complete with waves of feelings that can wash over your analytical walls of restraint. Hang on, for this ride will be worth it, stirring up enough emotions to last you a while.

wake me up when september ends...

well, september is over... hooray! i've never been a fan of the month of september... summer's over, school starts, no more sleeping in, no more lazy weekday mornings.... But, alas... september is over and fall is upon us. i love this time of year for so many reasons... the leaves, the rain, the holidays... i love it!

*********************************************************

anyways, my september ended with a nice relaxing weekend... i had the entire weekend off ( or so i thought)

woke up saturday morning and found this little critter in my garden. he flew around and landed on this chalk holder... he seemed to like it cause later that evening i was out in the backyard again and he was still there! so i took a picture of him and named him. his name's willy. he only has 1 leg...remember in goonies, the main pirate guy was named "one-eyed willy"? well... this is "one-legged willy".

chloe got a new "shaving" kit from grandpa. it comes with a pretend razor, some foam stuff that's supposed to be shaving cream, and a brush to put on the foam stuff. dude, she was stoked! she had grandpa teach her how to shave:my dad was hell of cute about the whole thingshe's so proud clayton came in the bathroom and wanted to "shave" too.
not long now and he'll be using a real razor... just kidding
after she was done she said, " mommy, feel my soft soft face." she was stoked!
she had to watch her brother to see how he did it.
the next day i was lucky enough to have gotten invited by lareina to get my hair done by her, my make-up done by kree, and have some pics taken by la. so ofcourse i attended and it was a blast. lareina cut and colored kree's, melissa's, erica', and my hair. she is such a trooper. and an AMAZING artist... not only with hair but with fashion too and i think its rad! lori came and hung out before she started taking pictures.. we all had some champagne and then wine and we were listening to some ghetto rap station on the radio. it was awesome. i saw the pics and lori did a superb job, as to be expected. it seems so effortless for her to take good pictures...i have such talented friends : ) anyways, im sure la or lareina will have the pics posted soon. so stay tuned.

GI Joe - Porkchop Sandwhiches

this one is super funny too

GI Joe

i used to watch GI Joe religiously as a kid. my bro showed me these clips from GI Joe episodes that have been re-dubbed. i think they're hell of funny. enjoy : )

how does my garden grow...

my garden has been looking pretty sad lately so i thought it would be fun for me and chloe to go to home depot to pick out some new flowers to plant. i let chloe pick out most of the flowers... she really liked the mums and had to get one of every color. i picked out a pretty Hawaiian-type plant and some cute orange and yellow flowers... twenty bucks well spent at home depot!

we came home. put on our matching gardening gloves. and got to work.

chloe took this shot of me... see how she took all the mums out and lined them up? chloe loves any excuse to play in the dirt. and she's quite the little gardener! musta gotten her momma's green thumb : )

she dug up some wormsand played with themso here it is: my new and improved garden: some new additions to my garden:



i'll post another blog when the flowers start blooming cause right now it looks kinda lame. but im excited... i love new flowers.

first rain

woke up this morning to the pitter patter of tiny rain drops. it was nice. so i layed in bed and had a rather lazy morning. the wetness brought out the snails. they are such different little creatures when they are out and about in the rain. actually, i think they're pretty darn cute..

kidz love soccer!!

so, now both my kids are playing soccer...

no.im still NOT a "soccer mom"... im just the hippie mom camped out under a tree, sipping some tea, snapping an occasional picture of my enthusiastic little chloe bear. i dont have my starbucks latte, my expensive lounge chair, my cell phone glued to my ear. nor do i have any the intensity that some parents seem to have... shouting at their kids to run faster or kick harder. i simply watch my daughter interact with the other kids and with the instructor... i watch her listen to the directions and then attempt to do what she was told.. i watch her struggle..and i want to help but i hold back cause i know she'll get it down. and she does. and the biggest smile comes over her face. " i did it , mommy!" she screams. but i'm already looking right at her, smiling.. and watching.
