new art!

Ok, other than my absolute love of the color grey, my other current love affair is with mustaches. I just love them! I have even been known to imitate a person I just saw on TV using my finger as a stache. :) you should try it sometime, it's incredible.
anyway, I found this adorable print that features a stache and some luscious lady lips. I LOVE new art!

My new shelf

so....I love to read and I love to decorate, so I decided to install a new shelf on my blog and I love it. the only thing that would make it better would be if I could somehow get some digital nick-nacks to put on the shelf, then it would REALLY be me :)

if you have a blog, you can put a shelf up too!!! click the link below the shelf to go to the site, and then follow the install instructions. then tell me about it...I want to see what you're reading too!!

uploading a iphone movie test

I am expanding my clogging skillz (I mistyped it, it's supposed to read bloggins skillz, but I'm leaving clogging cause it's cool - oh dear- I mistyped blogging too, LOL) ...ANYWAY!! learning to upload an iphone video - here we go....

I love my sister and my bro-jay! and, I LOVE jason aldean. I wish I could have gone to this concert :(

I will cut my own arm off and send it to the polar caps if that means I can go the ray lamontagne with my sis....dreams are coming true every day. 

and thanks for waving to me from the video. I feel loved! (p.s. this post makes me sound like an idiot, well maybe just the first part.)

using my new flip

sorry these videos are soooooo boring, but Norman is all I have to work with! 

Test video #1: still playing with his christmas toy even though it has no squeaker. 

Test video #2 is so funny to me because he was done playing with the toy and he jumps up as if to say, "I think you might be filming me....and you are! ok...think, think...dramatic exit is the way to end this...I'll count to three and jump up, and then just leave. leave without looking back."

just when you thought the carnage was over....

happy doggle

"I killed it...am I in trouble?"

Coldplay - Strawberry Swing

Stoner-ific

I gave russell a micro brew for his birthday...and after nearly a month and a half, we finally got to taste it! it was very good, and SOO much fun to make :) we made west coast pale ale the first time, and we're going to stretch our beer making wings out a little further and try a darker bodied brew next time. so raise your glass and cheers for homemade brewsky!

Pictures from my Christmas trip...late

"Are we there yet?"

(Norman stuffed in the back of my mini)

This is norman's sister Gracie and his cousin Daphne with a little wiener dog in the middle. (Wiener =  bandit.)

We interrupt this post to bring you some breaking new: We are not actually news women.

Even though it was LITERALLY about 9 minutes until the live news was to be taped, I felt it was completely appropriate to keep snapping pictures...

I thought it would be cool for a grown woman to throw up double thumbs.

yesssss.

Note: My brother-in-law jay is a producer for FOX and NBC, so if you thought my sister and I snuck away from the Christmas TV Station Tour - we didn't.  We just used her marital connection to play at the news desk...for a long time because it's awesome.  love you jay.

nothing says sisterhood like facial hair.

Manda " I'm a sad frenchmen. oui."

Carly "Dang it, where's my foil hat...I think it's time to go to work? I chop wood for a living."

Lindsay "Let me twirl my mustache and do something sneaky."

Santa got run over by a Ridgeback

me: "i'll take a picture of us to commemorate our new years eve together. hee hee"

russell: "let me take it. my arms are longer"

wow...i am super pasty. it is winter.

me: "ooo! that picture really was good! nice arms babe. let's take another one... but with really cool faces this time."

my face: awesome. 

russell's face: um....hungry for cheeks?
