tuesday

i am sitting here making windmills from pipe cleaners for Sam's school project, to build a green town and deliver it to school by 12/16... i should add i still have the scars left from the miniature picket fence day.... slave labor i tell you...

though i am absolutely ashamed to admit, i have no idea how to make papier mache NOR do we have a stack of old newspapers to make it from. we actually need to BUY newspapers to turn into a papier mache windfarm

i hate that headline that yahoo have been showing for ONE WEEK now 'unhappy people watch more tv'... seriously are there NO simple pleasures left in this sad life? i don't watch a lot of TV but when i sit down with a refreshing glass of diet coke and some delicious lays to watch dragon's den all i can think is that if the sodium and nutrasweet don't get me, the deepening depression TV causes will finish me off... it's just not fair. be gone wretched 'unhappy people watch more tv' headline!

Barry Manilow is soooo going to kill me. i just got an email back from him saying to be at the "shimmer cocktail lounge" of the las vegas hilton at 3:30pm on Thursday in my quote, sunday best unquote, to get into his 5pm QVC taping. i sent a note back saying if i can't bring Aaron, i'm not going and signed it 'thank you so fucking much Barry' because:
a) i know he loves bad language just as much as i do
b) i'm sure the answer's no ;)

must go work on my wretched tree skirt some more - i only have 4 skyscrapers left and then the park and then... it's done! do you know how many windows skyscrapers have that need to be cut out one by one in mismatched colors and sewn painstakingly by hand??! a lot....

our friday afternoon date to the toy store

  1. Oh my goodness, Carol, all of these pictures are adorable.
    I love you and Sam in your patriotic hats, and Danny looks so handsome, cool and hip with his pikey hair. And Elliot reading the book with the Trex is cute. But my favorite is definitely Elliot and Danny. How freakin sweet is that. I think the taping of the Barry Manilow infomercial sounds like the cool most fun boring thing you could do. I wish you could go, just so I could hear about it. I will stop yapping now.

  2. Don't upset Barry Manilow ;-)

    Those photos are just so casual, cool and understated yet are little miniature works of art. Truly inspirational.
