FUN EVENING BIKE ride.

SHELBY BEING SILLY during the DNC. Her opinion is obvious. (Disclaimer - We never eat dinner in front of the TV but this night was a bit of an exception so mommy's brain could grow).

YOUNIVERSE

CHECK THIS OUT, it is cool! Its called your 'visual DNA'. The one below is me, but I think you can do your own from it.

P.S.

WE DID IT! Cold turkey! No more pacifier! Her last day was Thursday(21st). OH MY GOSH, Friday was hell! But I was still glad to be the one with her all day. No joking, it was a struggle for her.

IT CONTINUES...

YOU ALL RECALL 'the strawberry shoe' from a previous post right? Well, I thought that was a one time quirky and hilarious little thing.
I guess this is going to be an on going thing! I love walking in to a room to find a Shelby filled something. This behavior comes so naturally to her, I love it. You just cant buy this kind of entertainment.


She has a definite thing for shoe filling.

AND...


Keep up the good work Willy!

GOOD OL FASHION SLUMBER PARTY

COMPLETE WITH JUNK food, secret hidden rooms and talk of boys. Some friends and I spent the night in a beautiful mansion in Biltmore Estates, all in the name of Slumber Party!

This picture was taken at 1:30am and was only a quarter of us left still there and awake. My good friend Ruth(front left on the leopard) and I shared the guest house bed and stayed up talking until 4am(what girls do best), man that felt good, its been awhile!
Thank you to the Robinson's, what a fun night!



Moses, a.k.a. 'the butler' (at least thats what I call him), he is always at the door or around the foyer when I go. LOVE HIM!

A 'MINI SERIES'

SOME PICTURES OF Shelby. I could not stop clicking! Here are only a few...

GYPPED!...A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

LAST WEEK I perused Craigslist in search of the first bike I would have ever bought for myself. This is the one good thing about living in a city; running errands on a bike is possible. Saving gas, fun with Shelby, and getting some exercise, a perk. With a limited budget I found the perfect bike for me; a sweet black beach cruiser all decked out for only $75. All the way in North Phoenix, I call the guy, get the address and tell him I am on my way and that I would be there in an hour. Shelby and I grab a snack and head out the door only to pull up to this dudes house with my bike driving away in the back of someone Else's car. AAAahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I was pissed! SO, I knock on the door bottling up all my anger as to not scare the crap out of sweet Shelby. The guy playing dumb says "oh, man, I totally thought that was you", "OH REALLY!" I reply "because I am pretty sure that who ever that was also needed to get directions to your house, which you gave to them unless they are PSYCHIC!"..."What, nothing to say to that??", that's what I thought. So finally he opens his garage with 8 more cruisers in it and offers me a much crappier version of a bicycle for $50, I gave him 40 and took 'my' bike and left.
I'm not to bad at making lemons into lemonade so I stared at my old bike long enough to see it in a new sort of way. Ill just fix it up with the left over money from my cool bike that I didn't get. Enlisting the help of my friend and neighbor Nick (the BMXer), this is how it went.

THE BEFORE...

NICK TAKING IT apart to paint it

ONE OF THE freakiest moments of my life. A little token waiting inside the 'petal chamber' (my own terminology, don't quote me) from Joe the jerks garage.

AND THE AFTER...

I HAD SO much fun working on this bike. Thanks for your help Nick, and thanks for taking my bike, people with the car. I like mine better.
