Huntington Beach Mini Movie by the Fabulous Movie-Maker, Becca Darling

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Two of my last three posts have been about Huntington Beach and how awesome it was.  Deal with it...'cause Honey Badger don't care.  "Toniiiiiiiiight...we ARE young!!!"


If you want to smile today, you should watch this.  It has that affect on people.

A ginormous THANK YOU to Becca @ The Texas Darlings for the video.  (She does this as a business, if you're interested.  They make great gifts!!)

Hope you're all having a super great week! XOXO

Friday Confessional

I'm linking up with Mamarazzi today for Friday Confessional. It's been a while, so I figured I should repent...I mean, confess a few things, so I can go be bad some more this weekend...I mean, so I can feel better about myself going into the weekend.

Mama told me linking up regularly to Friday Confessionals is a free pass into heaven.

You wanna know the real-honest-to-goodness-no-lying reason I'm blogging today?

Connie made me do it.

I confess, if you ever want to get me to do anything, just threaten to take me off your A List or talk mean to me.  It works like a charm. 

I confess that Impulsive Addict and I were...well, I don't want to go into details, so just watch the vlog...


I confess that I proposed to Joey at the NKOTBSB concert.  If you're up for another video, you should watch this because it's full of epicness...Joey Mc upclose and personal, me and IA fangirling over him, my proposal, and my declaration of love.  It's good stuff.

My husband told me that I should take the video off of Facebook because it's "ridiculous and embarrassing".  I told him he knew what he was getting into when he married me...we should have worked "I promise to love you even when you're ridiculous and embarrassing" into our vows.

I have TONS more to confess, but this is getting lengthy, so I'll save it for another day.  Happy Friday!♥

Wanna Watch Something Funny?

If you answered yes...or even a "maybe" to that question, then you should immediately click HERE and go to Impulsive Addict's blog and watch our vlog. 

It's worth the click.  It's a hoot. 
Hope you guys are having a great week! I ♥ you. hard.

Isaiah's Vlog...Stardate -313070.31963470333

Isaiah thinks that he looks different in the video than in real life. I told him that the camera adds 10 pounds. So, just keep that in mind for one of these days when I do a vlog...the camera adds 10 pounds.

Words to song in video (in case you need a translation):

You better not pout. You better not cry. You better not pout...(this must be important, it's in here twice) I'm telling you why...Santa Clause is coming to Madagascar! He's making a list and checking it twice...he's gonna find out who's naughty or nice! Santa Clause is coming to Madagascar! He knows if you are sleeping. It's kinda creepy. He knows if you're awake. He's in your bedroom. He knows if you've been bad or good, so be BAD for goodness sake! Oh, you better watch out! You better not cry! You better not pout, I'm telling you why...Santa Clause is coming to Madagascar!

Silly, King Julian! Hope you're familiar with Merry Madagascar. If not, CLICK HERE...it's quickly becoming one of Isaiah's favorite Christmas movies.

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!

♥Isaiah and his mommy♥

Isaiah Funnies

I've had a few humorous conversations with my 5 year old lately. I wanted to share a few for your enjoyment.



A week ago...

Me: "So, what are you asking Santa for this year?"

Isaiah: "Well, what I really want is a whole box of Transformers."

Me: "but you already have a whole box of Transformers (translation: we don't need anymore Transformers)."

Isaiah: "Wellllll...this will be special because I'm asking Santa for a whole box collection of all the Transformers that I don't already have so that I'll have a whole set of Transformers...they've gotta be in ONE box (I have no idea what the importance of being in ONE box is, but he emphasized it a few times. great.)."

Me: "I'm not sure if there is such a thing. Maybe Santa could just bring you a few of the Transformers that you don't already have and then you can ask for the rest of them on your birthday?"

Isaiah: "Mom, Santa can make anything. He's a toy genius."

Me: (great) "Sometimes Santa can't make ANYTHING...he's a busy guy you know."

Isaiah: "Mom, it's just some little 'ol Transformers...I think Santa and his elves (oh, now he's bringing out the elves. great.) can handle making a collection of all the Transformers that I don't have in ONE box."

Me: "I'll give Santa a call and see what he says."

Isaiah: "YOU know Santa's number?"

Me: "Sure, it's on speed dial."



A few days ago...

Me: "Hey, Buddy...we should get to writing that letter for Santa. We want him to have enough time to make all of the things (a whole collection of Transformers all in ONE box) you want in his workshop!"

Isaiah: (nonchalantly) "sure, mom."

Me: "We wouldn't want Santa to run out of time!"

Isaiah: "Mom, you're the one that said that Santa knows stuff, like when I'm good and bad and stuff like that...so, that must mean that he knows other stuff, like what I want for Christmas. *he thinks for a moment* You know, Mom...Santa's like Jesus."



Great. Now he thinks Santa is like Jesus...I'm not sure that's the direction I was hoping for.



Yesterday...

Me: "How was school today, Buddy?"

Isaiah: "Great, but I got in one time out."

*I give him "the" look*

Isaiah: "it was just a *little* time out...see, I was shaking a tree on the playground and I didn't know it was against the rules to shake a tree...DID you know it was against the rules to shake a tree??...because I didn't know it was against the rules to shake a tree!"

Me: *trying to keep my composure and reflect the seriousness of this tree shaking incident* "No, I didn't know it was against the rules to shake a tree...BUT we know now and we should follow all the rules...including no shaking trees."

I love this boy!♥

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!! *loves*

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the funniest thing I've watched in a while. I ♥ Ellen. I think she is sooooo funny anyway, but her and Gladys, what a pair! Thank you Lord for Youtube.

Don't forget to read my Friday Confessions...if you don't go read them, who would I be confessin' to?

I♥Faces: JOY!

This is a picture from Easter last year. I think you can definitely see the JOY on Isaiah's face...probably had something to do with chocolate bunnies, candy filled eggs, and yummy cupcakes that his Granny made him...you know, an artificial "high"! I love this picture. Hope you do too! ☺ Go check out more JOYful kids faces at I ♥ Faces! (www.iheartfaces.com )

Sunday Snap-Shots: Random Pics

All of the following pictures were taken with my iPhone, so it lacks in quality, but great for spontaneity.

Below is a picture out of the window of the plane, on my way home last weekend. The water you see is the Arkansas River..."Thank you for flying Southwest!"

Here is the Cullen Crest that Michelle gave me while I was in Denver. It now adorns my office window. One of the guys in my office asked me if I was 12..."uh, NO...but I wish I was sometimes." Then I went into a detailed explanation of why it is totally logical for a 31 year old woman (uh, did I just refer to myself as a "woman"...that just doesn't sound right) to love Twilight...and Edward. He might be 17, but he's been that way for 90 something years, so I think it's OK. Thanks for asking. Oh, and thank you to Michelle...I love it!

While making a daily stop at my local Starbucks, I noticed this picture up on the bulletin board. If you could see real close, the furry squirrel has it's little paws tightly around the coffee cup. Classic. I pictured Hammy from Over the Hedge...caffeine fix for the day, running around real fast...making crazy random comments. LOL (or LIMH).


Anybody got any chalk?

Wall art...gotta love it. Isaiah said he just had this picture in his head and he had to draw it, but he couldn't find any paper...so, the wall had to do. I guess it is more permanent. I don't think my Granny was wanting to go with a space ship theme in her bedroom though. Anybody up for a painting party?

Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS weekend!

Oh, and do me a favor...PLEASE☺(I'm totally not trying to be bossy...ok, maybe just a bit, but I really can't help it)...run on over to my friend Feather's blog and with her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thanks!

Walk It Out...

**pause my playlist before playing video**
Since becoming the owner of an iPhone, I am slightly addicted to YouTube. I mean, I used to watch videos on YouTube before, but now they are so readily available...and entertaining and down right hilarious! I've seen several YouTube videos set to this song, but this is one that really cracks me up. Thought you might enjoy.

Twas The Night Before Christmas Eve...Eve...Eve...

all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...

Ok, wait a minute, there was one little creature stirring and his name happened to be Isaiah. It was approximately 12:09 early this morning. I was startled and awoken by my husband throwing back the covers to see what was the matter!

Here's how the next 10 minutes or so played out...

Let me set the scene. I'm all snug in my bed with visions of "eye candy" dancing in my head. I'm all warm and cozy in my flannel sheets and down comforter and sherpa blanket. Not a care in the world.

SUDDENLY!

Michael: What in the world is he doing? (he being Isaiah)

Me: I have no idea Michael!!! What ARE you talking about?

(I'm trying to clear my head from my sleeping state and adjust my eyes to the pale light from Michael's iPhone he was using as a flash light. Apparently, he was still awake laying in bed watching videos from YouTube)

Michael: What is he doing?
Michael(again): Isaiah, what are you doing?

Isaiah looks with a glazed expression.

Isaiah: Oooohh, green light (pointing over to the other side of the room...Michael's iPhone.)!

About that time, I look over to see Isaiah standing at my side of the bed...PEEING!!!!!!! Yes, I said PEEING! Michael is flipping out! He runs over and flips on the light.

Me: Michael, calm down. He's sleep walking.
Michael: Calm down? Sleep walking? What are you talking about.
Me: He did the same thing on YOUR side of the bed a couple of weeks ago.

(I'm remembering now that I failed to tell him about that.)

A couple of weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night to Isaiah standing over on Michael's side of the bed, facing the wall and peeing. I freak out, of course. "Isaiah, WHAT are you doing???" He blankly stared at me and it hit me that he was sleep walking. I calmly (like any good mother would do) walked him back to his bed. Cleaned up the pee off the carpet from Michael's side of the bed (like any good wife would do), put a towel over the pee spot...and went back to bed. Failing to ever tell Michael about Isaiah's new found talent for sleep walking.)

Michael: He PEED on my side of the bed??? Why did I not know this??
Me: SORRY (in my 7th grade FOORRRGIIVVVEE-me-voice...you know smarty pants-ish)! I totally forgot to tell you. Relax. It'll be ok. Let's just go back to sleep.
Michael: (freaking out...again) IF YOU'RE SLEEPING IN A BED WITH PEE, then I'm sleeping down stairs!!!!
Me: FINE. Go get the clean sheets! (forgetting that I just stripped the bed two days ago and haven't washed the sheets or comforter!)
Michael: (yelling from downstairs) THERE's ONLY ONE FITTED SHEET.
Me: (rolling my eyes) Well, that'll just have to do. (As I lay down on the bare mattress...the pee soaked through the sherpa blanket, down comforter, flannel sheets, mattress pad...and leaked onto my favorite pillow!...so, I had to strip the whole bed!!!)

Covering up with my measly quilt, with no flat sheet...laying there, I'm thinking "OK, how did this happen?" Ten minutes ago I was snug in my bed, feeling warm and toasty, dreaming of Edward. Now, I'm laying on a cold sheet with a towel underneath it to keep the pee from leaking through the sheet. NO mattress pad. NO down comforter. NO fuzzy sherpa blanket on top. NO favorite pillow. I CAN't go back to sleep, so NO dreams of Edward. Michael chuckles. "Good night☺" He's now making fun. I'm the one sleeping on the pee-pee side of the bed. Mom's should get Hazard Pay.

Me: GOOD NIGHT.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve.

Y'all Have GOT To Read This!

Here is an account of an intervention. You must read.

Intervention

Television Observations

TV is my guilty pleasure. I have about 4 shows that I DVR and watch them faithfully. I know some people think that television is a waste of time, but I think it can also be educational and enlightening. Take a look at this list I've compiled of some observations I've made...

1. Thanks to Cloris Leachman on DWTS, I've learned that when you are old, you do not have to behave...and you can say whatever you want to...and spank people's butts...and bribe people...and no one can do anything about it. Btw, did you see Monday's DWTS...Cloris Leachman's samba....Oh my goodness, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Watch this clip of the hip-hop group dance.



2. Children go from being babies to 4 year olds in a matter of months. I don't religiously watch Desperate Housewives, but I tuned in last Sunday and noticed that the baby that Susan and Mike conceived last season is in preschool...What the??

3. There is a lot to learn about love... If you don't believe me, then just watch Grey's Anatomy. Grey's with McDreamy, McDreamy's with Addison, Addison's with McSteamy, McSteamy's was with Lexie, Lexie Loves George, George was married to Callie, Izzy loved George, George cheated on Callie with Izzy, Callie like Erica, Izzy has an ongoing thing for Alex, Alex loves lots of women...see, loves a tricky thing...much to be learned.

4. You can pick up on new vocabulary. I daily work in new words such as "seriously", used in a way that means "REALLY" or "what did you say?" or "you're kidding me" or "COME ON" or "you've GOT to be kidding me"...yes, all these phrases can be wrapped up neatly into one little box by saying "SERIOUSLY"!!! You can actually have a total conversation with the one word...seriously. For example: "I seriously need a grande mocha w/ skim milk, no whip, and 2 pumps! Seriously? Seriously!" Also there is "shut up" used without a negative connotation, mainly for instances of surprise or shock. Kinda like "get out of here" or "no way"...shut up!

5. After watching a few episodes of Ugly Betty, you realize that high school never ends it just turns into your work place and there are still cliques and groups...cool people and not so cool people. It's ugly.

Any wisdoms you've learned from television you would like to share?

Detective 'C'...

No name, just an initial...it's very secretive! If you need a detective, he's your man! Apparently, he's very good at finding mice! That's just what he told me...it could be a cover-up?

He's always up for a good chase and he's full of energy, so you don't have to worry about him falling down on the job.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that he has some highly advanced technology to aid in his cases...WOBBLE GOGGLES...that's a technical term...use it with caution.

When mice are on the fly, Detective 'C' is your guy!
