interesting

Okay, I stole this from Memphis Steve who stole it from Binsk (whom I don't know) but I thought it was interesting so I tried it. Here are the results:

Ashley Judd, Mira Sorvino, and Helen Hunt are all gorgeous so I liked those.

Gary Sinise: The scarey part was I saw the strongest resemblence here.

Neil Gaiman: I have no clue who he is.

Yael Bar Zohar and Alizee: Again no clue, but they are pretty.

Emma Watson and Judy Garland: Pretty strong resemblance

Victoria Principal: She's beautiful too, but I didn't see the connection.

I have my kitchen back

As of eight o'clock last night my kitchen became usable. Yippee! I have no words to describe how happy I am. The tile looks great. The kitchen feels smaller though because all the furniture is back in there, but at least the living room is back to normal. I still have alot of work to do on the kitchen such as painting, but that is my stuff so at least my husband won't have to listen to me wishing he were done.

I did make one discovery that I was trying to prevent. I washed all the dishes and put them away before we vacated the kitchen and planned to use paper plates and plastic cups. This worked well for me and the kids, but by husband kept going into the kitchen and using the regular ones. He wouldn't wash them though he would just pile them in the sink. The other day he put some in the dishwasher but not the silverware. This morning I went to empty out the rest of the sink and found a disgusting mess underneath. I was not happy. I had tried to prevent this from happening. What really surprised me though was that the kitchen didn't smell bad from it. Well it's cleaned up now and I have to put the pantry back together next.

At home with a "sick" child

Okay, it's time to actually write something instead of posting quizzes. I was supposed to go talk to my son's class today about photography, but I had to postpone it because he got sick at school yesterday and can't go back until tomorrow. He feel's fine today though. Go figure. I needed to go to Walmart today so I took him with me; instead of buying him a hotwheel I told him if he wanted something I would get him a book. This seemed like a good idea at the time. He loves to read.

When we got to the books I found a cheap copy of the Chronicles of Narnia and got it for him then he was supposed to pick out something else. He wanted a coloring book, but he never colors so I told him to pick out a regular book. This turned into a battle of wills finally I told him that he had to pick something because I was leaving and started walking away. He grabbed a book but wasn't happy about it. After we got to the checkout line I saw a Disney Adventure magazine. I gave him a choice between that and the book he grabbed since he said he didn't want it. Instead of making him happy it only made things worse he threw a fit. We finally checked out, and he calmed down, then he got upset again when I asked him to help load the car. When we got home he did help unload and calmly went to his room. He also took the book and is in there happily reading it. Can you say Mom is ready to scream. I had hoped we would have some fun together today we'll see.

I'm hooked

I promise, I haven't disappeared I've become addicted to Ricochet: Lost Worlds. I'm not kidding here. I have been playing it on online for free and when I tried the free download I got hooked. I didn't want to spend $20 on the online download so I started hunting for it locally. After a day and a half of looking around town, and then trolling online, I found it at a local store for 9.99. I was so happy I was doing a happy dance around the house. My husband thought I was nuts, but now he is hooked on it too. For anyone who doubted he and I have anything in common here's your proof that we do. ;) Must go play, must go play, must go play.....

inner child

Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.
I stole this from my friend Lola. I like the results though.
