These are a few of my fave-or-ite things…
1) I am excited about this new e-book:
It is by Alli Worthington… of the highly-accalimed BlissfullyDomestic.com and the Blissdom Conference. *sigh* I really want to go to there… Haven’t actually made the purchase, but… GONNA! Did I tell y’all that I met Alli at BlogHer and she sprinkled my glitter on her? She is just as delightful as one would imagine…
2) I went for a run on my birthday. You know the phrase “stop and smell the roses”? Well, all the roses are dead right now. So I stopped and admired a spiderweb:
Do you see it sparkling? I love the Fall… and morning runs… and my birthday… Ironically, I hate spiders… but they make lovely homes…
3) Dessert tables. BE STILL MY HEART!!!!
I have no words. Well, I do. But really, words would fade the beauty of these dessert tables.
I want to go to there.

Why Fritos? The truth (this IS The Confessional) I have a wee-bit of writer’s block and all I could come up with is confessing my poor eating choices from yesterday.
Like you care.
But it’s My blog, and this is alzz I got *shows salty finger tips*
Here’s my dirt.

As part of yesterdays’ birthday celebration, I had to go get a new driver’s license, and hithertowhereverthougoest… I was gonna get a good picture and also lieaboutmyweight. Nothing quite like getting a new driver’s license AND getting old(er).
I made it to the DMV… or the DOL (whatever) moments after the doors opened.
Gloray! There was no line. *devil sign*
I sauntered up to my the unknown victim male clerk behind the desk. “Hi Handsome” I said with a smokey soft voice.” “Hey! How cool is it that there is no line! Is it usually not this busy? Huh? Huh? Huh? How is your day so far now that your doors have been open for 2 minutes and 33 seconds? Huh? Huh? Huh?” I said in a much too caffeinated and uncomfortably giddy tone. For the clerk, but not for me. I wanted to be my own best friend! *shakes pom-poms*
*toothy grin*
Clerk: “Yeah. How ’bout that.” *sniff and a head cock*

I am 20 years past 17. Officially. Today. Thanks for showing up, Birthday.
I loved 17. I am not 17 in this picture. I am 36. But whatever.
I never really thought about 20 years past 17 when I was 17. I just thought about boys. And college. Boys at college. I didn’t even appreciate glitter.
I guess to some extent, we do gett better with age?
Psht.
For the record, I married a boy from college… I wasn’t 17 then either. I was 22. *mathmathmath* That was almost 15 years ago.
How did I get closer to being 50 than 15? Not that anything is wrong with 50 – for other people. *eyes crossing*
Oh, Birthday… you deepen my “smile” lines. Oh Birthday, my aching joints! You laugh and point as more frequently I realize, “I can’t do THAT like THAT anymore…”
I mean I CAN. I am like The Little Engine That Could. Except I run on glitter, not coal. It all just looks a lot different and may take longer these days…
Stop being dirty. I’m talking about walking and getting out of chairs.

It is no secret I am a huge fan of glitter.
No secret.
I love her. Almost as much as my firstborn son.
Almost. *feels shame*
So. Saturday night I got to get outtathehouse. I went to a costume partay.

I actually don’t know what I dressed up as… an over-aged homecoming queen? Glitter herself? Continue reading ‘Make Me Laugh Monday – Glitter Spray for Crafts Finds a Higher Calling’
It’s Favorite Things Friday! I will not list glitter, that’s just a constant… like oxygen and blood, the tide… Instead I will post about a newish member of my family — Spidey:
I love this guy.
Etsy. Love her. And I love things to carry things. I especially love things that carry things that remind me of my beat-box days. What? I can beat box. *whiggidywhiggidywhiggidyWHACK!*
P.S. I had that radio.
Now. You know… Etsy, but have y’all heard of REGRETSY? Mother. Of. Pearl. Before you venture off, just know… it is called “Regretsy” for a reason. Guard yourself. Their tagline is, “It looks like you made it with your feet.” So. Here is one of my favorite Regretsy items — a Chicken Poncho/Knitted wrist cuff. This is no joke. If there wasn’t a picture…
Some people are such visionaries.

My daughter (7) was given a writing prompt at school, “Monica wanted to touch the moon. If you wanted to touch the moon, what would you do? Write how you would try to touch the moon.”
Olivia wrote (her punctuation, her spelling),
I would do all uf the things that my mom and dad say. I would ask very nisly (nicely) and if thay say no I would crie so loudly everyone in the naberhowd (neighborhood) would heer me and I would crie so loud I would faint!! I wuld get a rocetship for my brthday and I wuld go to the moon in spac (space). I wuld save up my muny and fors (force) a servent to take me to spac.
I think she has career in blogging… or destined to be an aristocratic leader. Or dictator.

Favorite Things Friday!
I had this great post idea – anchored neatly with the finest of alliterative titles. I thought I was all “original”. Turns out the concept of “Favorite Things Friday” is as original as ketchup. Yay me.
Being the investigative “reporter” that I am, I Googled “Favorite Things Friday“. I just wanted to have proof. I wanted to bring my post before you and say, “Look at my originality! My creativity!” Instead I come to you with internet “ketchup”, if you will. Except for the fact that while standard and commonplace – KETCHUP IS AWESOME.
Aaaanyway.
I have been nursing a fever. A fever brought on by Etsy and I also suffer from a chronic illness called Graphic Tee Envy.
