That's the sound Hubs made when this guy jumped on his arm as he walked out the door the other day. Never heard that before, typically he's QUITE unflappable. You can't scare him, tickle him, nothin'.... Hee hee... :D  

This guy was large, probably 6 or so inches from head to tail....  Of course I'd have squawked if he'd jumped on me, but that's just a given, nothing noteworthy.  Magpie squawked, screamed, jumped?  Of course she did, YAWN.

Movies...

C and I watched Dan in Real Life the other night.... This was one of those movies where the main character behaves so oddly that I'm completely uncomfortable for them. Not unlike this movie.

I loved this song from the movie. Tell me you can listen to this and not shake your booty. I won't believe you, but go on and tell me. :D

Decor for the tank of the fish....

Every self respecting fish tank should have an Easter Island statue in it. Which might explain why my tank has no Easter Island statue... But seriously, isn't this a hoot?? Where is the tiki statue for the fish tank, hmmmmm??

Hand Carved Stamp Tutorial

Check out this adorable hand carved stamp tutorial from Geninne. I'm so impressed with all the illustrations on her adorable blog! Thanks for the cute tutorial Geninne!! I can't wait to buy some erasers and a carving tool!

Anniversary...

Today C and I have been married for 1 YEAR!! I can't even believe it!!

You're awesome C. Thanks for the laughs, being a great companion and for the beautiful earrings. ;) Love ya! I couldn't dream of a better partner. (except for your whole fascination with World of Warcraft - that's just weird. hahaha!).


After eating out for our anniversary we came home and made ice cream in our Cuisinart Ice Cream and Sorbet maker, following the simple vanilla recipe. MAN was it rich and lovely.
