i have been looking for years for a breeder of siamese cats that i would adopt from! i finally found her and this is what my cat will look like. he's a blue point siamese and he's lovely!

i am a hurricane survivor - katrina took my first home, my family home, my job, my friends, my life and history. katrina swallowed the evidence of all i was. three years later i am in my home parish, finally. renting, and making a life. new history, new job, the kids have a new school. we have a new, albeit brief, history. my tummy hurts and i want to cry. and, i think, i am a little scared.

 

 

 

beijing is hosting the 2008 summer olympic games, and if you didn't know that you need to wake up, crawl out from under your rock and tune in! team usa has some great players over there representing. team china dominated men's gymnastics and i, for one, am happy for them. they worked hard and they got what they worked for. in a lovely turn of unfortunate event team usa let the world know that down DOES NOT mean out as the held on tight to the bronze metal. solid and sometimes surprising performances by the team of complete new comers were awe inspiring. perhaps the v.i.p. player and the real fairy tale this year is jonathan horton (below, third from the front.) all of the guys rocked it, but horton seemed to really embody the spirit and the drive, he was there every time he took the stage and he stuck each performance with a perfection that only the chinese seemed capable of! his was not the only break out performance, as truly this was a metal the entire team won, but his was the most amazingly consistent! (not to mention that little houston hottie is the cutest thing, huh?)

there isn't much to say about the usa and swimming other than michael phelps and DID YOU SEE THAT RELAY RACE? okay, i don't even want to blog about this, it's been blogged by people far better and more informed than me. also, the usa girls picked up gold, silver and bronze in fencing and while i don't know much about fencing that seems pretty cool. while we are talking about severe domination lets talk volleyball. that's right i am bringing it: misty may-treanor (below, brunette) and kerri walsh (below, blond.) they are AMAZING and if you are not currently following the, check the effin' schedule and tune it! DO IT!

 

finally i leave you with this statement: we have some great people over there doing great things, tune in and take pride!  

(oh, you better believe me, i am in love! i ADORE them. i am buying a key chain as we speak! i am buying two in fact, so i can make one into a necklace. i want the plush dolls also!) kisses!

so my number one hot mess, who i have loved through her ups and downs, is no longer a hot mess. my lovely britney is just plain HOT! shown here, VERY recently giving a shout out to her boys! you should check out her promotional videos for the vma's she is so cute and sweet! i really can NOT wait for her full blown ass kickin' rebound! (the girl is coming back!) yay! somebody call ms. chris crocker and tell him momma is coming home! kisses!

where should i start? well lets' start like this:

this blog is coming from a challenge question - who is your favorite sesame street puppet? but those of you who know me know that there are no simple answers to anything you ask me so instead of shouting KERMIT as soon as the question registered i had to sit and think a lot about this. favorite is a big order to fill and while i love my some sweet, green kermit i don't know if that makes him my favorite. somehow i was given one hell of a crazy imagination from the earliest of my memories i was always able to envision the words my mother would read, tell myself stories that i would fall asleep and have as dreams. my mother was always very open with us as children, i knew what the act of sexual intercourse was, i understood the physical differences of male and female. somewhere i think i didn't understand that that amazing love that my mother and father had found, that marriage and family that they had built, was limited to humans. i was in love with so many cartoon characters and in my young mind i believed that i would grow up and meet these muppet guys or gals and we would have an amazing friendship. me and the muppets. perhaps my favorite should be who i identified most with and in that case it would be ernie.

because i was ernie. i was the younger, more curvy sister (let me say here that i now know bert and ernie are not brothers but as a child that is what i thought) to a brainiac who made being good, smart and clean look as effortless as breathing. i was the goofy yin to her mature yang. we had different interest and thoughts. i would play with small plastic horses and she would read. i was ernie, only ernie was never my favorite.

i will admit to having some strange crushes in my life and none more odd than my green hunk of amphibian love, kermit. should my favorite be the muppet that i had the most passion for? if so, kermit would take that cake!

i don't know what it was about kermit the frog but to me, a young impressionable girl, kermit was the sexiest man alive! he was a hot piece of greenery i wanted to marry and have babies with. though i can tell you i NEVER imagined what i would have to do to have those babies, in my head they just appeared.

in all probable actuality the easiest way to determine my favorite would be to call on the me of 1985 and have her answer the question. she said, with a certainty i envy, "the twiddlebugs."

she was right, how could i have forgotten? twenty-three years does not seem long enough to erase all of the delicate details of youth. indeed it is, though. the twiddlebugs were and are my favorite, i wanted them in my garden and even though i have no garden i want them still. something tells me they wouldn't be happy ina tank with a bowl of water and a wheel to run on, so i guess its best that i don't have the ability to go out and scoop up a family for my own nastalgic pleassure!

and as you leave me i ask you this - who is your favorite sesame street muppet? hit up the comments with the answer or a link to your long, over thought blog on the matter! kisses!

it makes me so sad when good blogs suddenly change their format or style and become crap. i understand evolution, but please! like there is a certain fashion blog that i have loved from the moment my sister let me in on it, only lately it just seems less edgy, less funny, less like itself. i hate when good blogs get forgotten, like junkiwant.blogspot.com - like what? don't you want things anymore. you were my shopping paradise!

that's right kids - i am once again the proud owner of my very own monkgomery monkey! more about that when there is time! kisses!

i adore ebay. let me rephrase that ~ i am in love with, lust after, constant desire to waste my day with ebay! i recently sold my blythe dolls on ebay. (i will not go there, i can't really explain why i just moved on from something i loved. check out www.lifewithblythe.blogspot.com) with the money i am still waiting for i decided to invest in new dolls, kimberly dolls. now collecting kimberly dolls is fab for several reasons: 1) there are only four dolls; white kimberly mouth open, white kimberly mouth closed, black kimberly mouth open, black kimberly mouth closed 2) there are only a total of like ten outfits 3) i used to love my kimberly doll (my sister and i called them kimberly clark) and so playing with them now will bring that back. on the other hand it kind of sucks just a tad because they were made in the 80's, which means it can be hard to find one in a good condition. means limited supplies. i went to ebay and i have snatched up two kimberly dolls, both the white dolls. which rocks because i am excited to get them home and start playing and taking pictures. still, i REALLY want the black girls. they are beautiful, i mean really lovely! they are also RARE and hard to find and costly! anywho ~ back to the girls who will be coming home soon: they are the "gettin' fancy kimberly" not in box BUT with all the clothing & the cheerleader kimberly, again, not in box but with all clothing! later darlings! kisses! xoxox

i just set up posterous to post to twitter when i post to it, that's fun. i have always liked having multiple accounts ~ keeps you in touch with different peeps. i like that now i can update them all at once. when i get home i am attaching posterous (from now on known as "post") to all my applications! yay!

what if i don't deny your ethereal beauty; perferred instead to focus on what lies beneath the flawless surface, the meticulously chosen words you just said...

 

so angie and brad (don't pretend you don't know who i am speaking about) had their babies like what - 3 weeks ago? now people mag is putting out the baby pics. they look cute, big lips like mom and bio sis - shiloh. 14 mil just seems high - makes me want to avoid buying peep mag this week. i usually avoid that rag anyway because of the price. actually i try not to impulse buy any of the mags because of on-line gossip (www.celebitchy.com & www.wwtdd.com) which always has the same stories WEEKS in advance. (okay, maybe a week in advance not weeks...) what-ev! later kittens! xoxoxo
