Lucky Dorito

Meet my friend Carla, also known as Ms. Kitty in the comments.
She is a nut.
She had two jobs on the plane flying to Vegas:
1) Hold all the emergency items for the flight attendant to demonstrate as needed. (Hence the photo opportunity with the oxygen mask!)
2) In the event of a crash, she was shown how [...]

I am here in the city that never sleeps, Las Vegas. I am exhausted and on brain overload and I still have a FULL day of classes to go!! Since I can’t really share a lot right now, for fear of nodding off right here at my computer – I mentally composed a Thursday 13 [...]

I’ll be blogging, facebooking and tweeting through out the week. That’s the plan, anyway!
(Ya’ll say a prayer for an uneventful and safe flight. I’m having a wee bit of panic this morning about the trip.)

I didn’t get quite done with Luby’s room. It’s almost done: we’re waiting on a lamp shade to arrive that I ordered and the pink polka dot transfers for the chocolate brown wall. Meanwhile, I started in Beebo’s room, getting her furniture sanded, primed, and painted white. It all looks so crisp and clean and [...]

Meet Wilbur.
He is an overgrown potbelly pig with the heart of a dog.
I found some pictures of him, mixed in with my sisters’ beautiful flower photos.

These aren’t my photos.

They are my sister’s, Lina.

I’ve been trying to convince her to start a photoblog.

Because she should share these with us all.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Have a fantabulous weekend!
I’ll be posting the *Big Reveal* of finished bedrooms on Monday (I hope!) and then….
leaving for Las Vegas on Tuesday!

Thirteen Things I’ve learned this week:
1. If you smash a finger between a rod iron bed and a pair of pliers and yell out obscenities – your kids will be SHOCKED.
2. Watching Mr. Lucky mow the yard in a perfect diagonal pattern, exactly opposite of the diagonal pattern he mowed in last week CRACKS ME [...]

I didn’t have anything else to do….
I picked up this little table at our local Goodwill for a big five bucks.

I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with it when I brought it home. I thought we might use it in Luby’s room as a bedside table.
I knew I didn’t want it [...]

Once the walls were all prepared, the painting began. Pretty much from the start of discussions about redoing her room, Luby was sure what color(s) she wanted in her room.
Now, I really enjoy painting. There is something so satisfying about seeing the BIG changes with so little effort. I was eager to get going on [...]
