Cell Phone Mosaic 11~21

Saturday, November 21, 2009
Its time again for Saturday's Cell Phone Mosaic over at Ace's. While I am writing this I am watching the end of Xanadu. Remember that movie.. Holy Shit I am old!!!
Anyway, Last night was the BIG night. My daughter, my sister and I went to see New Moon. It was so good. I wont go into details for those of you that havent seen it yet ( and I wont bore those of you that are not Twilight fans) but we are so glad we went and I cant wait to take the other kids next weekend!

Today we went and got our nails done. I havent gone in 2 weeks and Kylie hasnt gone in a month so her nails were horrendous!! She needs a new set badly so I told her if she can go another 3 weeks we will start hers over with gels this time instead of acrylics.

Before getting our nails done we had to stop at Barnes & Nobles for a book for Jocelyn's book report. She chose to do her Important Person report on Michael Jackson so I had to grab a book for her. Not much in the kids department so I grabbed her a special edition of Man in the Mirror and will order her King of Pop on Amazon. Trev decided to switch the book he is reading for his report ( due in a week and a half) to a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book so of course I had to buy that too. Then we saw a whole section on Twilight so we bought some stuff there too.

Next it was over to Starbucks for mommies coffee... a peppermint mocha for me and a vanilla latte for Kylie. Trev scored a piece of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake for himself. God, that kid can eat!!

Then it was off to Walmart for groceries and stuff to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Finally we got home and then Trev invited a friend over. Jocelyn was invited to sleep next door at the neighbors so we allowed Trev's friend to sleep over.

They are quietly watching Spongebob while I clean up kitchen after cooking what were supposed to be Enchiladas ( thanks ACE) but ended up being more like Chicken Tacos. I added rice to the tortillas and then chicken mixture with salsa but the tortillas were real small so I couldnt wrap them well... oh well.. they were YUMMY!!

I am off to make a jacuzzi then I am forcing Hubby to come to bed early tonight ( we have both been so busy it feels like we havent seen each other in a week) and we are planning on watching a movie.
Tomorrow we meet Kylie's boyfriend ( we are taking them out for breakfast) before her dad picks them up for her half sisters Birthday. ( yep, the poor boy gets to meet the WHOLE family tomorrow!!)

Have a great Sunday everyone!!

Friday Fragments and more~ 11/20

Friday, November 20, 2009
I am totally cheating and posting my Friday's Fragments on Thursday. Why? you ask? Because on Friday I will totally be seeing New Moon. Check out my New Moon fashion post ( I am the Fashion editor over at The Classy Closet, dont you know!)
Anyway, Here is my contribution to Friday's Fragments.
Friday Fragments?

1.) We are feeling sad here in the Crazy House for Yaya. My son has orange hair and as those of you know, that is Yaya's favorite color. I thought it would be nice if I explained to my kidlets about Yaya and what she is going through. I thought my son ( being the most sensitive young boy) could make her a pretty orange card. While explaining all this to my kids, my daughter said the following...
" wait... are you gonna send Trevor to live with her? Can I have Trev's room?"
Such a compassionate child of mine. Needless to say it took me 20 minutes to calm down my crying son.

2.) We are also praying nightly for Anissa Mayhew. If you havent heard ( were you living under a rock this week?) dear Anissa suffered a stroke this week. Pray for her family please!

3.) I found a carrot this week that was actually 2 carrots attached at the bottom. Totally weird, and it was a B**ch to peel! The I realized it would just be easier if I broke it off into 2. Duh!

4.) Hubby is the only one here in the Crazy House still not feeling well. Husbands are stupid. Yea, I said that. He is on 4 different medications for his asthma and cough and he is still puffing away on a pack a day. Really... Quit already!!!

5.) Speaking of dear Hubby... why does he put cologne on at bedtime? After his jacuzzi? Its just strange. And a waste of money, I think!

6.) My little princess... Brady, my puggle, cant get up on the bed anymore without me helping. This might be because she is a PIG and eats everything in sight?? Or maybe her legs are shrinking?? But probably because she is too fat. Ok. I said it!

If you are hanging in on Friday night be sure to pop over to Ann's for the GNO! She is an amazing hostess and I know I will miss hanging with you all, but I will make my rounds Saturday morning!!

Praying for Anissa

Wednesday, November 18, 2009
I had a witty, funny and interesting post for you all today. I had been thinking it up all day, ya know? It involved some funny things my 7 yr old said this week and I was sure you would all love it!
But I cant bring myself to even type it. I keep checking Twitter and Facebook. I keep checking this site and this site for more information.

Anissa Mayhew had a stroke yesterday and though I honestly can say I didnt know her... I really only happened upon her awesome blogs a few times here and there, I am sad I didnt make more time to read her witty, fun blogs. I am sad I didnt take the time to read all her past and present stories and I am sad that all of her followers and friends are so worried and scared for her and her beautiful family.

Pray. Thats all I can do is pray, long and hard for her. For God's healing hands to seek her and make her well again.
I can pray that her family finds some peace and knows the thousands of amazing friends Anissa has who are praying for her. I can pray for God to bring some reassurance to her children, that mommy will be ok.

I have started following her on Twitter, and have started reading her blogs in the hopes that I can learn more about this amazing blogger that so many are holding vigil for tonight.

I do not want to miss a chance to know this wonderful blogger. I have heard so many great things about her from all corners of the blog community. Those bloggers that I blogged about earlier this week... the ones that were all negative and bashing each other... they have all come together to support this woman. That, ladies and gentlemen is TRUE dedication to the craft we have come to adore. That is how adult women and men should act. I am proud to be apart of this community and will pray along side all of you until we get the good news that I know is coming... that Anissa will be fine and she will be back writing and entertaining ALL of us soon!






Wordful/Wordless Wednesday~ New Moon!!!

Welcome to Wordless/Wordful Wednesday!

New Moon, baby!! I just couldnt find a better picture for today's post. New Moon comes out Thursday and we, here in the Crazy House are super excited!

I started this journey with Bella and Edward, all the Cullens,the Quileute tribe, the Volturi and the members of the little town of Forks years ago, when Twilight was a little known book. I have no problem sharing them with all of you who have jumped on the bandwagon. I am gracious and I can act like a grown up! just kiddin!

But seriously, it amazes me just how many adult fans this series has and I am super thrilled when I am blog reading and stumble across another Twilight fan!

So leave me comment. Are you Team Edward? Team Jacob? Or like me? I am Team Carlisle and Team Jasper all day long, but dont get me wrong... I still love me some Robward!!
What are your plans for the big night? Are you seeing it Thursday or waiting til Friday? What are you wearing??

Me... I am going with my daughter and sister to a free screening ( courtesy of Michelle) Friday and I am wearing a really cool New Moon Tee ( from Nordstroms) and of course my Rosalie Cullen Crest necklace...

And you know Lil' Ed will be joining us!!
Have a great rest of your Wednesday!!
