Hello and Who Do We Have Here?

What a jaunty Salami Hat!
Other gleeful sandwich creatures can be found here.

Hell's Half Acre

My Mom used this expression earlier today.
I had never heard it before, but what a gem.
Wherever "Hell's Half Acre" is, I reckoned, it couldn't be a pretty place.
Judge for yourself above with this next installment of the Collage-O-Matic.
(I can't remember exactly what she was referring to, but we had just spent 3 hours digging through boxes in her rented unit at the Storage Facility.....)

Miss Simpson I presume.

Who can honestly claim not to want to see themselves as a Simpson's character?
That's what I thought.
Your turn.

It's impossible to find a parking space in this city.

Wicked Awesome*

Here's the deal:
A) I type a word or phrase into google image search. (i.e. "Wicked Awesome")
B) I sift through the results and make a collage out of the best that search has to offer.
C) *I post that collage here using the search term as the heading. (see above)
D) Is this awesome (Y/N)?

my kin

I could not love my niece and nephew more. (James 3 and Samantha 1.5).

I was talking to James on the phone the other day and asked him what he was doing.
Him: "Daddy stuff"
Me: "What's Daddy stuff?"
Him: "Knocking down mailboxes, driving through people's back yards, and singing songs."

Charmed, I'M SURE!

Here Eric can be seen Wednesday - taking his banana and leaving.

He is off to Thailand (Suphan Buri to be exact) for 3 whole months.
He will be coaching the Thai National Skateboard Team for an Olympic sanctioned event to be held in China in November.
Not too shabby - I'm so dang proud! I miss him like crazy already however. I'm like a sad old hound dog moping from room to room looking for him, whimpering softly. Then I sigh and lie down for a while with one of his t-shirts from the laundry.
Then I get up and look again. Sniffing at the air...
I'll have to throw myself into my blogging...
Purely coincidentally he also just started a blog and will be chronicling his fierce adventures HERE.
