it is finally finished!

and a little heart for good measure...

out of the mouths of babes: part deux

We were at the drive thru at Runza the other day, and the girl in the window was flirting with Iggy, making faces, smiling, just being silly.
Now, this girl was young, maybe 16, and cute and smiley, but she had prominent eyeteeth.
When I say prominent, I mean BIG, and a bit crooked.
But she was still very cute, so whatever.
When she went to go get our meal, Iggy said, "How did she grow those vampire teeth?"

out of the mouths of babes

Iggy's vocab has gotten so great. He just told me, "That sounds like a splendid idea!"

Recommended for you...

Youtube recommends videos for me every day, some are total duds, but some are right up my alley. I wonder what that algorithm looks like. Here is one gem they uncovered for me:

Because I was so cute

At least I was never in pageants. Those ARE tap shoes, if you wonder.

Post for posting's sake

Facebook has obliterated my blog!

It's just so much easier for me, as I tend to be brief.

But, I have scanned some choice photos, and I didn't share them ALL on facebook, so we'll call this a blog exclusive:

Iggy's latest curses

- Aw, aluminum foil!

-Holy Hinges!

-Oh, photography!

-Aw, phenomenon!

All delivered with extreme conviction.

Christmas Miracle

My son thinks it's pretty cool to find another Ignatius in the world.

He found him on The Year Without Santa Claus.

The character is called Ignatius Thistlewhite, and is a young boy in the movie.

He tells people to call him Iggy for short.

I couldn't find a good image from the film, but I did find this pic, evidently he starred in other movies after that one, and they may be slightly blue, from the photo:

I love my new camera

It's really orange.

Desiccating

I am having trouble transitioning to sea salt in my kitchen.

I am all for using sea salt instead of regular iodized salt, and have purchased said sea salt.

It is too big for all my salt shakers, and the top of the package has a crappy shaker.

I have been using it in cooking, but I'm not used to the bigger grains and everything is thirsty SALTY.

Not everything, but I have over salted a couple of thing.

So, I purchased a new shaker, made for sugar, so it accommodates the big fat salties.

And I'm drinking lots of water.

Gobble gobble

Happy Thanksgiving!
Time to break out the footy pajamas!

Monday, Monday

Iggy's napping and I could either read an espionage novel or try and post something.
So, I thought I would compile some photos of art in our house. Art being subjective.
The photos aren't great, but I have zero patience with photography, so that's the way it goes.

This is in my kitchen, it's just a bunch of posters stuffed together, but I love it.

My husband went to school with this artist, P. Jay Fidler. I bought it because it matched my room, I won't lie. But, I also love it.

I always forget this guy's name, somebody Cruise, I think.

This is by Troy Muller, he is my friend's husband. I wish I could afford the full size version.

My friend Gary Donahue did this watercolor, he is a genius with color, but I love his all grey stuff a lot.

This is one of a pair by J. Fish, very nice prints from my friend Calvin.

The other Fish. Again, I apologize for the picture quality, but I just suck.

This is by a husband/wife team called Kozyndan. Get it, Kozy 'n' Dan?

This is a 4" x 4" little blue monkey in a basketball jersey. I just love monkeys dressed in clothes.

This is a Randy Galaska, made from old skate decks and other scrap wood.

There is a lot more, but my pictures suck too bad to keep trying, maybe if I get industrious this winter I will work on it.

Vagina Power?

I about fell out when I saw this...

If I had my way...

...I'd rename all the "Real Housewives of (fill in the blank)" series "These Dumb Bitches?!"

'ello there.

So, I am at a loss for subject matter.

It's really fucking cold outside and it's about to get colder.

My son is a profoundly deep thinker.

My husband is doing uber great at work.

Barack Obama is the coolest president ever.

I had to wear an eye patch for a few days, it was funny to see people's reactions to my appearance.

I should maybe learn to knit.

I thought I was gonna die

I just had 3 teeth forcibly removed, and I feel like a fucking hillbilly.
I take great care of my straight, white teeth, brush and floss.
Somehow, I still manage to need root canal, crown, extraction...
I'm feeling sorry for myself, and for the fact that I have only 25 teeth now!
I told Tom that at this rate I would be giving great gum jobs at 50.

The new Bob Kerrey footbridge

People around here really must've been waiting for this, because that footbridge is FULL of traffic (but not in a bad way).

The Mighty Missouri, rather cool to see it from the middle. God, I have a lot of grey hair!

I love my dog

Cripes, look at all the shit under my couch!

She's a peach

My sweetie friend Stefanie linked me into her blog, so I thought I would return the favor.

I would also like to mention that she is the smartest girl I know.
