I have a friend.

I adore her.

She lives far - far - away.  [okay, fine - - Utah . . . but it might as well be Egypt].

She's real. . . [meaning] not fake  -  she is who she is. 

Take it or leave it. 

Like her or dislike her.

She wouldn't "change" for anyone.  Not her clothes, speech, ideas or attitude.

She doesn't over "do" anything.  She's my queen of [trying to teach me] "moderation".

She tells me if [ok-when] I'm being stupid.

She tells me if I'm being [yep, when] a bad friend.

She tells me when she appreciates me.

She's a "thanks" girl.

She's not dramatic.  [how are we friends again?!]

She's always there for me.  Always cheering for me.

She calms me [this should be in the font size of 744].

She makes me want to be a better friend [to her and others].

Her laugh is the best I have EVER heard.

She's spiritual without being/acting saintly.

She never boasts - never.  Seriously.  Never.  a n d  trust me she has a lot to boast about.

She has two of the most adorable children [with the best personalities] I've ever seen/heard.

Did I mention I miss her?

Happy Thirty-something [older than me] Birthday Cass.

See you in [gasp/tear/joy] May.

I'm going to pass

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has seen this super sweet little sleeping number.

I saw the add [daily] on CNBC each morning before Valentine's Day.  I believe the culprit is/was the "pajama gram" company.  Just in case you were among the unfortunate who did not get to view this furry, 100% thick cotton - porn.  I'll be happy to help you out.  However, you must click here to see the whole thing.

It promises to give you three things you so desperately love all in one huge fluffy cotton-candy looking jumpsuit.
1.  hoodie
2.  blanket
3.  slippers

I super dislike the "snuggie" - SUPER dislike.  And with a name like "hoodie, footie, snuggle suit" and a price tag of $99.95 . . . it had better come with a grandma's chicken noodle soup helmet, the built in scent of my mom's homemade bread as well as audio clips with daily affirmations, "I'm good enough, I'm strong enough & gosh darn it people like me".  Trust me I'll need it if I'm wearing this.

what's your policy?

on being there?
on helping others?
on serving others?
on gossiping?
on being real?

Yes, I'm having a rough one today. 

Until people realize that church walls are thin. . .  Gossiping is ugly. . . . And the simpliest of smiles can brighten any day . . . I'm loving Peanut's favorite commercial [this].

So simple.

So easy.

Such a great message [even if it is from an insurance company].

"Have you done any good in the world today?"  - I think I'm going to tape this to my forehead, mirror & phone.

*A big shout out to Evie for the text this morning.* ILY

not in my house

words.

words are big in my house.  well not big like sesquipedalian.  big like imperative.

Meaning it's imperative that certain words are not used in my home [or car or anywhere I can possibly control the lingo for that matter].

I will write the words below [this is hard for me as even looking upon/typing these words torments me] 

moist - ok seriously....don't say this word if we are in the same 100 story building.  I will hear it and I will hurt you.  just notice the formation of your mouth when you say that word.  ugly.  ugly.  ugly.

panties - uggg. really? so - so - so gross.  we call them "chonies" in my house.  Proud to say Peanut didn't know what "P" were until she was 5.5-6.  "Mom, what are "P"?" after I calmed down & regrouped I told her it's an awful, horrible word we should never say in our home.

flange - just gross
chunky - [for you Ann] only makes me think of someone blowing chunks
prolapse - for obvious reasons
tot - he/she is a child.  he/she is not made from potatoes
thrush - [squirming]
kudos - unless your offering me the candy bar
props - "I give him props for..." I think I just threw up
uni - just keep talking ..... university - perfect.  uni - not so much.
extricate - too prickly.
penalised - gross
masticate - just chew the dang food.
holistic - foul. but it does alert me to the fact that I can now ignore any following words from the person who just said it. ;) j/k
phlegm - actually like to look at that one [nice letter mix] but hate to hear it
sibling - really? can you really not bear to say, "my sister", "my brother" or "my sister & brother"? [side note -- it has the word "bling" in it.  enough said]
utter - I only think of of cow when I hear this

You got word "issues" too?

What are yours?

you tell me

So this is the fun part of my job most days.  Getting special bundles of joy from "UPS Susie".

So today I open to find this "you tell me" little number by Junya Watanabe.  [LOVE this designer].  But I didn't just get one - I received four.  Which makes me sooooooo happy.  Especially knowing what I paid for this $1,180 thing.

The only problem . . . I have no idea what it is.  The receipt is less than helpful stating "designer euro piece] - thinking "a piece of ... (*%#$) ".  Because to me - right now - it is this:

 A really expensive blob on my floor that Chuy [my annoying dog] wants to lay on.

I checked runway photos.  Ya, um, so which is it?

help! 

consider yourself warned.

Hearts day was awesome around our place.
Our home looked like it had been covered in a seriously thick layer of pepto bismol.  Or if it's more soothing to your tummy - - think Mary-Kay cadillac pink.  pink.  pink.  fabulous. 

There were red crepes.  looked a little lot creepy but fun.  pink milk.  pink water.  pink cream. a pink pre-church bath.  pink ice cream.  [side note] grateful strawberries are already red/pink as by 10am - we were fresh-out of red food dye.  I'm sure we all  have cancer from it by now.

Then the text came in . . . . we had been invited to our favorite neighbor's place for dinner.  Heck ya, I had a fabulous menu planned --- but there's always tonight for the even more fabulously aged prime-rib.  [one should never turn down Mr. L's homemade bolognese].  and even more important, never turn down a chance to get hugged and smooched to death by 4 year old twin girls.  awesome.

when I thought it couldn't get any better . . . a delivery from my VT [dessert of love].  insane.  yum.

but then . . . leave it to the Pita . . . the man knows the way to my heart.  I found this on my bed:

not sharing the inner [card] details - I'm sure you're plenty "good" with the photo you get to salivate over.  hubba-hubba.  been to paris twice.  how did I miss this daisy duke wearin' American?

at least I'm 99% confident I may look better in mine.

The best hearts day - - - buns down.
