Sorry Barbie!

WARNING: Just in case you couldn't quite read the "naughty" word on the Barbie quote! Happy Birthday Barbie!!

Happy Birthday Barbie....

Seems that almost everybody is coming to the top of "THE HILL"...you know the one where one day you're all of a sudden OVER THE HILL. YEP...even Barbie is turning the Big 50! Barbie???? How can Barbie be 5o? There was a big celebration for Barbie's birthday this last weekend in New York even though she doesn't officially turn 50 until March 9th! They had a fashion show and everybody was there. I mean everybody...including Ken and Skipper and Midge!! Barbie and I go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. I remember playing Barbie's for hours and hours. We would drag everything out and play non stop from Friday after school until dinner time on Sunday. It was great childhood therapy! I'll drag all my Barbie's out one of these days and that will be another blog post! Until that post I'll just leave you with this little bit of "Barbie" that I came across a couple of years ago and keep on my desk for a little bit of adult therapy!!! Sorry Barbie but it isn't easy on the other side of THE HILL!

Old Men and Big Glasses.......

We've always had a thing around our house about old men and big glasses. Have you ever noticed or wondered why old men always wear big glasses? ALWAYS!!! There was a time in the 80's when big glasses were "IN"...or so we thought!!! Ken had them!! In fact we even have pictures of Michael when he was little wearing Ken's old man/big glasses! Now the thing around our house is old ladies and big watches!!! What is it about old ladies and big watches????

They're everywhere you look!! Or so I've been told!! Don't you know that they are "IN" ? I actually know what it is with old ladies and big watches though!!! It is the only way that I can tell time! I wore my other watch for three months with a dead battery and really didn't even miss that I couldn't tell the time!! I couldn't see the numbers anyway. It was stopped on 2:55! I was still in the habit of looking at it even though I couldn't tell the big hand from the little hand!! It was always almost 3:00 to me! Not a problem with this one though!!! I might as well carry a wall clock around on my arm! That being said though, I still wonder what the deal is with old men and big glasses?

Addition to "THE BOOK"...

It has been a long time since I've added a new layout in "the" STARBUCKS book. While the kids were home they were great sports and went to Starbucks and actually posed for this picture and then sent me the photo when they returned home!!! What a great surprise!! Thanks guys...I love it...you're the best!!!!

It's everywhere.......

Sometimes I get the feeling that I've got paper and scissors and fonts and glue on my mind 24/7 but this is a bit ridiculous!!! I wonder if it ever changed to "Don't Scrapbook" i didn't stick around long enough to see!
