Sistahs,
I hope you had a great weekend! Be sure to become a fan/friend on facebook so you can keep up with my daily antics and ramblings (look at me expecting that you need this information..LOL).. I took the kids to a farm yesterday.. we basically left before we got there…not much to do. We looked at the corn maze and the three of us were PETRIFIED to get lost or stuck in there, so we didn’t go in… we then ambled around, fed some goats that Jayden wanted to run away from (LOL.. why do I do this to myself??) and then we spotted a french fry truck which was the HIGHLIGHT of the farm experience.. LOL. WHY IS IT THAT A TRUCK WITH NO RUNNING WATER CAN MAKE THE BEST FRENCH FRIES EVAH??? it just doesnt make any sense to me at all! OMG were they good… sinful.. gorgeous… perfect… hmph. I love food.
OK so without further ADO let’s talk winnahs.. of who is now officially a bellarific baberooni… I was SO not jealous of the other babes’ jobs picking da winnahs.. it was 4 weeks of pure hell..LOL.. Hell because the entries were SO amazing and I don’t want anyone to lose their momentum and to keep on submitting! I am so glad I gave the babes that job because I would have 567,897 babes on the team right now..LOL.
So here goes. I was advised that because the votes were so close, that we opened up 3 spots! LOL. And again, please believe me when I say that EVERY, SINGLE, ENTRY was phenom!

Hiya sistahs!
I hope you had a great weekend! We just chilled.. me and DA KIDLETS and da CATS (who everyone in da house has no clue which one is which STILL..LOL). It was a rainy weekend so we played games, made some art and watched lots o’ TV.. that’s MY type of weekend! LOL. I am reading a book that is somewhat good but have you evah read a book where you really are not so into it and have to re read pages to remember what has been going on the last time you picked it up? That’s kinda what I am going through with the book I am currently reading called “THE RELIABLE WIFE”. While I am enjoying it, I am kind of looking forward to my next book..LOL. I am reading my books on my KOBO and I just love it.. it is thin, portable, has a gorgeous CASE (i am obssessed with cases and storage..LOL) and the battery life is long.. I love that little machine! This is the SKIN I got for it.. so funky and colorful! I also got a leather one in pink.. cuz I need more cases..hmph . This is the one I got but it’s in BRIGHT PINK

helllooo sistahs!
Here’s a little story for ya. Tyler went out on Saturday for the day and the beautiful and talented Jayden joined me for a day of PURRRE luxury. First we went to get a manicure/pedicure together.. she was so prim and primed and primped and promped that she didn’t know what to do with herself. It was so cute to watch. I, on the other hand was dreading a certain part of the pedicure… LOL. I will tell you SISTAHS but DON’T TELL ANYONE!!! So I am not so happy with this body I currently own.. trying to change it but that’s another blog post.. so of course, I am wearing capris and I know the “BOING BOING” is about to happen. You know what the “BOING BOING” is? THE BOING BOING is when the pedicurist starts BEATING (LOL I am giggling as I type) the backs of your legs to start circulation and REVIVE the skin. Well.. thank GOODNESS it was only Jayden in the room but it makes a VERY loud noise and I feel like the jiggle in my leg skips rope so basically it goes around and around the bone.. can you envision? I will never forget the first time I got the BOING BOING in a ROOM full of people… who were also getting the BOING BOING.. but their boing boing was much quieter than my BOING BOING. hmph. Has anyone else ever gotten DA BOING BOING?
Jayden and I then went to a beautiful mall and a gorgeous expensive store and I told her that she MUST behave like a lady (as If I do..LOL) because we are being VERRRRY fancy. So in we pranced and looked at purses and makeup and enjoyed every minute. We then had lunch, laughed about the boing boing and went home to work on our art journals.. is that not a DEEVINE day?
Have you had one of those lately?
if not, might I suggest a BOING BOING? lol
p.s. don’t forget to post a comment on the TANTALIZING TOOSDAY post below and bellarific friday sketch this week!
Mwah!
