The Gypsy on Adventure

One of the worst days EVER...

Then I see this...I may not know her but she is Sadie, from the mouths of babes! I swear I REALLY have to look into doing my art full time! So do it!

Back to School or Torture the Child?

So G-boy starts Kindergarten this year, and G-ma wanted to buy him some clothes. We brought him a REALLY cool desk that WGB found for him (as he tells me HE doesn't have any G-boys! wink wink) and G-boy had woken up on the wrong side of the bed. sigh. But he was sporting a new hair cut...BUZZZZZZZZZ

Seems his mom just buys him clothes and if they fit they fit...me I tortured the kid by making him try on the pants and shirts! LOL Especially since the size they thought he was, was not his pants size, he is small. While I tried to encourage him that his uncle Vernon who he adores, does this and has shirts and pants like that too! That it was cool...he had a pout session and learned quickly that drama doesn't phase G-ma and G-ma seems to get her way because she is old and stubborn and has the check book! LOL Plus I was going to take photos of him doing this and he got REALLY upset...he wanted NO DOCUMENTATION that he was having a melt down in the dressing room! (I was giggling under my breath) Oh and did I mention the trying ON of shoes? the world was going to end! Snort Well after all was said and done, 2 new nice pants, 3 dress shirts, 6 casual shirts, 12 socks, 6 underware, 6 undershirts and a pair of shoes! G-ma was POOPED!

After the torture the child episode we went to Staples and we forget HOW LITERAL children can be. We pulled up and the WGB said "Ok were here to Staple you!" as a joke...G-boy thought he was SERIOUS...so I guess we were back to the torture the child thing! Snort

So after that step in the shit moment, we took him to a nice lunch at Claim Jumpers! That at least turned out to be ok, he at least enjoyed that experience and had his drawing item, they gave him coloring books and crayons so all things were good. I had a pomegranet sangria that was HUGE and forgot the bad stuff of the day! snort!

So the biggest hit of the day WAS his desk...

A bright spot in my day...

Its only SIXTY FIVE DAYS to Halloween! Whoot!

On August 17th, Mizz Amanda Button shared that she found this fab T-shirt! I couldn't resist and bought one too! soo creepy cool! Its Audrey of course! The epitime of beauty reminding us all that indeed beauty fades! If you need one as well go here!

Rest in peace...Joe

I don't know why you made the decision you did, but you must have had your reasons...I sure hope you found some peace...I will miss running into you at quilt shows with your wife...and at work get togethers! Right now we are all just in shock that you are gone....

How ridiculous people can be!

Maybe we will look back on those doing censorship now in the same way I am today looking at the clips from the old films...and the issue of decency was????

Food is growing...

It seems like there is a lot of growth in the veggie section of my garden...but it is taking a LONG time to get there! But the Poor mans orchids are doing well that Loretta gave me! From seed! Yeah working!

Wow...

It just seems like there is SO much lose lately, too many people dying. I am starting to feel that anxiety again, and I am just so sad. I don't know why I can't pull myself up from that! It is feeling so intense right now...

With the sorrow, I know it teaches us beauty, but I just don't want to learn any thing else right now. I want to have a repreive of death...

One of my retired friends, just lost his wife on Saturday. And I am just so sad for him. When he retired she was sick, but they thought she could beat it...she took a drastic turn a couple of months ago, but espeically earlier in July. I am just so sad she didn't get to see grand kids, and enjoy retirement with him. But I know she is watching over him now...

I just have to find something life affirming to do...
