This came in an e-mail to me today:
Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it.
When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer?

I think it's a good reminder, even though it's not Breast Cancer Awareness month...we still need to check the ta-tas and support Cancer research! Take a break to groove to this video...I totally did.
Shawn over at Seriously Shawn is hosting a Swap in honor of her 39th ...and holding...Birthday! That's right people. She will no longer be celebrating birthdays, only anniversaries of her last birthday. So, let's join in and make her 39th and final birthday the best one yet!!! Swaps are so super fun, if you haven't joined in a blogger swap before, you are missing OUT! Click on the button and follow the instructions. It's easy-peasy-japanesy.
We took a drive out in the pasture on the golf cart. Most people use golf carts on golf courses, we use them to "putt" around the pasture. The cows know what's up. They were knee deep in the pond...wish I could have joined them. It's been a pleasant mid to high 90's here in Oklahoma with high humidity...outdoors pretty much feels like an oven.
DON'T DO CRACK!
Does that make me a bad mom? LOL ☺
Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday!
The Story:
This picture is of Isaiah. It was taken in October 2007. We were making our yearly visit to Carmichael's Farm in Bixby, OK. They always have TONS and loads of pumpkins, colored corn on the cob, bales of hay...everything that screams fall. I love it. After we visit, I finally feel like fall has ARRIVED! They have great fun for kiddos of all ages, like pony rides...which is what Isaiah is enjoying in the picture above. They also have a hay maze, camel rides, petting zoo, and of course big mounds of pumpkins to climb! We have had some great memories there in the last 5 years since Isaiah was born. We would visit there before, but EVERYTHING is "funner" with kids! ☺ (And yes, for all of you grammar Nazis, I know that "funner" is not a word!)

Who didn't love the sweet smell of Strawberry Shortcake and her friends? I loved her so much that she adorned my bedroom for a decade!
Do you remember this one? Simon. 
This was one of the most fun toys I ever had. My mom ended up buying 3 of these things. One broke or wore out, one was stolen from our car at the mall (it was devastating), and one is probably still in my mom and dad's attic.
I wish I still had one of these. Pogo Balls rock!
Annie was another all-time favorite. Favorite doll. Favorite movie. Annie was the first movie I ever saw at a theater. I asked my mom if I could change my name to Annie...well, Annie or Butterfly. It's still one of my favorite movies and I'm wanting to see the musical in the WORST way!
This was so much fun!!
Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday!
Mom of the Year...phsshhh...not even close, but thanks Tanielle for giving me this award!
The rules of this award are....
Wow, hmmm. I definitely have my fair share of bad mommy moments. There are mornings that I drop Isaiah off at school wondering if he's going to rat me out for being so crazy. I'm afraid he's going to recount the morning's conversations to his teacher or worse his friends...that will later go home and tell their parents. You get my drift.
I have an extremely cranky boss, and when I start thinking about being late to work and enduring a morning of crankiness...well, it makes me cranky. It's a vicious cycle.
It often starts out something like this...
"WHERE are YOUR shoes? You just wore them yesterday, they can't walk out of here on their own!"
"You're making momma late! Do you know what happens when momma's late? Mr. J will fire me. Do you know what happens if mommy gets fired? No money...no money for food, no Disney Channel, no blueberry muffins, especially no Hot Wheels!"
Sometimes, Isaiah likes to give me a hard time about wanting to stay home. He'll say, "MOMM-AH, I could just stay home with Belle Girl! I wouldn't mess anything up. I'll be fine until you get home." I say, "do you know what happens if the police find out that momma let you stay home by yourself?" He reminds me that Belle Girl would be with him, and I remind him that a dog is not a sufficient baby sitter. I continue to explain that the police could throw momma in jail for not taking him to school and for leaving him alone with Belle Girl. He decides that he doesn't want me to go to jail, because I make the best spaghetti-Os.
So, there are a few things that I feel the worst about:
1. Crazy mornings. I try to make the mornings as pleasant as possible, but some circumstances are beyond my control.
2. Crazy mommy. Those moments when I have an "out-of-body-experience" and feel like my head is about to pop off of my shoulders.
3. Not being able to stay at home with Isaiah. I know that me working is best for our family, but at the same time I wish I could be home with him more.
Tanielle over at The Polka Dot Daisy gave me this award. How sweet is she?! Go check out her FANTABULOUS blog!
Have a great Wednesday!!

Will this work? At least in this pic you can't see the zit factory that just took up residency on my chin...but you can see the Cullen Crest in my window at work. ☺
Ok, how about this one? I have a huge forehead. Maybe I should try some bangs. Makeup and hair done in 10 minutes this morning, so don't judge me.
5. Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is my favorite lipstick. I've worn it since I was 16 years old. If they ever quit making it, I don't know what I'll do. It goes on so smooth and it's the perfect shade. It goes with almost everything. Love it!

When is your birthday?
October 1, 1977
How long have you been blogging?
Since May 2008. My first real blog was on June 3, 2008. However, my blogging didn't really start until September, after that there was no turning back. I was hooked.
Who tagged you?
Andrea, aka My Chihuahua Bites or one fabulous blogger ☺
Tell me your five most favorite body parts.
I'm not sure that I have 5 favorite body parts. I'll try. Ummm...I've got great nails. Usually, except when I neglect them. They grow really fast. I like my red hair...it's something people remember. I've been told I have a nice smile. However, I am not fond of my teeth. I should have gotten braces when my parents tried to make me, but I was too stubborn. My boobs are ok, not too big, not too small. I think brown eyes are cute, so I like my brown eyes...plus, there's a really great song about brown-eyed girls. ☺
What do you wish most for your birthday?
I think every year when I blow out the candles it's usually health and happiness for my whole family.
What color are you nails right now?
Bare. I'm in desperate need of a mani...I love my nails to be dark, even black sometimes. ☺
Have you had any depressing thoughts lately?
No. I'm generally a happy person.
What’s your plan for the next month?
April? Well, nothing exciting. I really want to take advantage of the longer and warmer days and get outside and exercise.
At what age did you have your first crush?
Maybe 3rd or 4th grade. His name was Chris Edwards. I think every girl at my school had a crush on him. He had like 5 girlfriends at a time.
Have you attended any school reunions?
Yes, my 10 year class reunion. I helped plan it. We want to do a cruise for our 15th or 20th. I actually like the people I graduated with. ☺
Have you ever passed gas in public and pretended like you didn’t smell anything?
Of course...hasn't everybody?
Are you a clean freak?
I have the potential to be one. I used to be one. That was prior to being a full-time working mom.
What era do you wish you were born in?
Maybe 40's...I would have loved to be a teenager in the mid to late 50's. I love the idea of girls in poodle skirts, bobby socks, and monogrammed sweaters! The music was great! The cars were cool! The guys were hot! What more could you ask for?
Are you a vegetarian?
No. I can go without meat for a while, but usually end up craving a big juicy steak or a cheeseburger.
How many pillows do you sleep with at night?
2
Are you a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper?
medium
Do you secretly wear granny panties when your man is not around?
I don't do it in secret. LOL. I mostly wear hipsters or something along those lines. I have a variety, but that's what I wear most of the time.
What is your ultimate dream job?
I like what I do now. I don't know. If I wasn't a mom or married, I would want to live in a big city and work for a magazine...like Betty on Ugly Betty...except minus the crazy outfits and braces.
What does your husband do that annoys you the most?
When I come home from work and he's been home all day and I can tell that everything is just the way it was when I left...and he hasn't done anything. I get a little annoyed.
What is your dream car?
I'm pretty easy to please, but I wouldn't mind having one of the new hybrid SUV/Crossover type cars.
Do you wake up easily in the morning?
Yes. I'm a morning person.
Do you like hairy men?
NO!
How about a man with a goatee?
Yes...it can be pretty hott!
Which would you prefer: a two-hour spa massage, a two-hour Thai massage, or a two-hour foot massage?
Well, I would take any, but I guess if I could only choose one I could pick a spa massage.
Have you ever wished you had a different name? If so, what name?
When I was little I always wanted to change my name b/c Jennifer was soooo common. I wanted something different that no one else had...like Butterfly or something crazy like that. I always wanted something short too b/c my name was so long...something like Jessi or Mallory...those were characters from the Babysitters Club books.
What is the most extreme sport you have ever done?
I am so NOT extreme. I don't think I've ever played an "extreme" sport. I've been water skiing.
Do you prefer traveling in Europe or Asia? I would take EITHER!
What is your favorite food?
NOODLES!
What is your most embarrassing moment while out on a date?
I can't really think of anything. Nothing seems too embarrassing anymore.
