enjoying the warm weather

my beautiful babies

this just in at kohl's

flowers, flowers, flowers

in the mood to make popsicles

ready for summer

scissors print

something i'm working on for spoonflower

light brushwork

pen and ink

a few more things that make me go... ugh

and the list keeps going

• the under part of mushrooms ( super creepy)

• mentos candy's ( abnormally too smooth)

• the sound of stirring macaroni and cheese ( sounds like sloppy sex)

• sharing any and all forms of dairy products with anyone ( you will never get a sip of my milk, a bite of my yogurt or a taste of my ice-cream)

• thongs (how on earth is something that sits in your ass crack all day sexy?)

• eggs ( I wish I liked them but it's hard to consume something that smells like farts)

• skinny jeans ( especially on plump teenaged boys with the "boy shag," haircut. aka:  justin bieber hair)

• jersey shore apparel ( parents, please don't let your daughters walk out of the house wearing a t-shirt that says DTF unless you want her to work the pole)

• the "facebook" face ( puffing your lips and and cocking your head does not make you look cuter girls)

mama likey

color is such an inspiration to me. bold, fun and yummy hues around the house help keep me happy. love these patterns from my hometown studio galbraith and paul available at room & board. want, want, want this large scale pink burma flower pillow available at hable construction.  summer is coming and i'd love to have this retro metal deco breeze fan available in super cools colors at stacks and stacks. and who wouldn't want these amazing headphones from urbanears. I'll take one in every color please.

abusing the english language

my least favorite "after dark" words

• making love ( it hurt just to write that)

• panties ( disgusting. it's called underwear people.)

• moist (somehow this one seems to pair nicely with panties. double gross)

• screw ( as in; he only dated her because he wanted to screw her)

• hump ( oh god, I just vomited a little. in protest i prefer to call wednesday roll over day)

•  the "c" word ( i can't even write it but you know what i mean)

•  the "p" word ( can't write that one either. a cat is a cat is a cat people)

 

things that make me go... ugh

I'm not a big complainer but I do have a few pet peeves:

• having a face to face conversation with someone whose just eaten peanuts

• having a phone conversation with someone while they're eating ( slurp, slurp)

• strangers who let the door close in your face

• women disc jockey's who try to sound hard core or sexy.

• men disc jockey's who throw bologna at naked women

• mom's who judge other mom's ( especially the one's who judge me. so what if my kids eat chicken nuggets and like fresh beat band) )

• feet ( enough said)

• dog poop that someone "forgot" to clean up. ( annoying but I wouldn't shoot someone over it. love you philly)
