Guys, I might be back

I had to take a break for a while. But not from the internet or blogging, I've been Blogging a ton. Yeah, I haven't been able to stop - I do it everyday. Just not here.

So first I need to catch you up on a few things:

I discovered estate sales are the perfect place for birthday gifts.

Found out my mom is a little competitive and doesn't mind getting her finger dirty.

Someone's apology flowers met a sad demise.

I discovered why America is awesome

Cheesey-puffs bigger than a smart phone.

This happened and it made me mad

and fascinated me at the same time.

Come on!

@lisa decided to embrace the honey-badger inside her.

My little Monkey took a cue from me

And moved to CA with 20+ army bags.

(Mich's genius idea worked for two different moves!)

You can buy the best stuff at Costco overseas. Like a toddler.

Then I got to babysit the toddler and I taught her to tear up books and toilet paper.

We had a family mini-vacation.

And I found out what happens when you leave your nieces alone with your room key.

I learned that floods aren't as fun as they look

because they are so filthy.

Thanks a lot giant wave from New Zealand.

Guys, maybe I do like Alisa's cat

Um, this is called 'DC: More Than Monuments'

More Than Monuments.

I'll say . . . ?

Seriously, these were the Only photos in the Exhibit.

Guys, I have a new blog

http://twigandtree.blogspot.com

And it's not like I love ambertines less, I just love Twig+Tree more.

Maybe I should move to Holland - 400 years ago

Hot, right?

Guys, can someone please explain this?

I'll give you a closer look:

Was there something in history that they didn't teach us in school? Is the queen crazy funny?

Guys, Best Present Ever . . .

+PLUS+

=EQUALS=

Our Darling Mich painted this today and it makes me happier than chocolate-covered honey combs.

So according toFindYourSpot.com these are the top 6 cities I should move to based on my likes, hobbies, passions, etc.

Guys, I love funny ads

Live Every Week . . .

Guys, you know who's hot?

My feisty friend Rita who came to see me for 18 hours in May.

OK, OK she didn't come to see me but I did get to see her.

Ok maybe I didn't get to see her.

But she did come to California once.

Well, maybe she doesn't talk to me- but it's just cause she's busy.

She's busy and she does't remember me sometimes.

In fact I don't even know her - I just found this hot photo on the internet.

Why cats are ridiculous . . .

Guys, I think we all know how I feel about Cats.

They are idiots.

Especially this one:

If you are going to try and eat my flowers

at least have the decency to do it correctly

And not Start to eat them and then

forget what you were doing in the first place.

Idiots!

Oh yes, I am glad you asked.

These flowers were sent to me by Senor Copper

And the best part was

they looked even more lovely after they died.

I might start a business that only sends dead flowers.

Guys, I camp now

I went camping for the second time recently and it was just nuts.
Giant spiders, skunk attacks, cooking meat over an open flame!

It was intense.

This was our tent

No! Come on! I'm joking, it wasn't this posh.


I acutally didn't take photos but it looked A LOT like this:

(sans bikes)
as you can see - no wool rug.

Seany (I was trying to convince him to let me call him Sunny, as in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' but he wasn't into that) and I went to El Capitan in Santa Barbara 'cause we really wanted to rough it.

And this is what we wore:

(Chester Copperpot is giving me his best 'I hate this take the dumb photo already' face -a look I became accustomed to ignoring)

OK so this isn't your typical camping trip - I can't fool you guys anymore.

We got there and El Captian had a three-course sit-down dinner waiting for us by the fireside (and yes I ate every meal sitting on Darlington's lap)
Hmm, why Yes, I'm glad you noticed -- those salad bowls ARE made out of parmesan cheese. I kind of freaked out over the cheese bowls.

And the flowers.

Such pretty flowers! And they were everywhere.

When we went hiking, this is what Secular Pants took with him:

and it made me want to give him $1 for being awesome

I don't think Puppy Eyes reads this blog so I can post my favorite look

My scarf and his trusty

'please stop taking photos and let me eat something'

look

Actually, he was quite keen to letting me put my accessories on him

As long as I let him eat after.

Monsieur Cotton Tail was such a good sport about letting us go into town when I wanted to eat AND posing the way I asked with only a hint of sarcasm in his eyes

As you can see it was a great success

AND if I ever ask if I can call you 'Sunny' I suggest you let me or I will think of other/more awesome things to call you.

Guys, remember Cinco de Mayo?

I forgot it this year - which was really sad cause I live in California now where they know how to properly celebrate it.




I do love me a good mariachi band

Guys, get ready to laugh and be so mad

i know, right?

this map of NY is so insane!

wait - why aren't you freaking out?

oh you need a close up:

ahhh! i mean, come on!

AND it's from a kid's store.

i respect trying to trick kids with inaccurate learning tools and
i know Inwood is insignificant but Spanish Harlem?!

like i'm really going to eat my tacos in the East River?!
