P.F.M.!

Painted Face and Glitter

*giggle* I painted all over my face to create a butterfly look. It was funny, but the other faeries gave me a weird look when I was doing it...I think I terrified a certain one when I asked her if she wanted me to do her makeup.

To Fae or Not to Fae

Come Away With Me

There is a quiet place...where the fair go to play...all are beautiful and serene...until the evil come to stay!



Fly away!



Yesterday morning a bunch of girlies got together and dressed up as fairies. My friend Lena did an amazing job tromping thru the woods after us! You can find more of her wonderful photos here!

And this is WITHOUT sugar people. If only I could be still. Like her.

End of World Dream

I usually have an armageddon dream at least once a month. This is what I dreamed this morning between 4am and 6am.

Fayetteville was a small city, like a hotel, with no streets. In fact, there was a hotel. Everyone was in town because we were excited about a football game or New Years. I was there with Jenny and a little boy. Some people show up and claim that they are orchestrating everything and that the end of the world will happen in a few years time. I think that they are full of crap. Even if they have that information, you cannot run someone's life. And they tell us what is going to happen to us on the last day of the world. Jenny is supposed to go straight to this hotel room where she will open the door and the sun will be there to enlighten her. I was going to meet someone in a sweater vest and I would not be able to help what I would do or say next and then eventually I would go to this other room and that's when armageddon would happen. I still think that they are full of crap, but try to remember the hotel room they told Jenny so that I could prevent it. Then they kidnap us and the boy and say that we were to start our eternal life with them. We were supposed to have eternal youth, but all they did was kidnap us. The little boy was freaking out. It was at this point in the dream when I started to hit our kidnappers and the other brainwashed victims at the compound. We run into a guy that is like Sloth from the Goonies, except his head is okay, it's just his teeth that are crooked and tiny. He bites me as I slap him; he is also in a straightjacket. We realize he has the gift of prophecy. They boy is freaking out and starts to ask questions, I then ask 'How will the boy die." Sloth relates some horrible tragic death, and the boy starts to freak out. I try to explain to the boy that because he will die a tragic death, then he does not have eteranl youth, therefore our kidnappers are full of crap. It's about five years later and I have a little girl. She calls some of the blue-face painted brainwashed ladies that they are ugly. We are trucked into town, they think that we are brainwashed enough that we won't run away. I try to escape immediately thru the bathroom window. They let me, and then everything starts to happen like they say. I run into the person in the sweatervest. I try to find Jenny but can't. I go thru the door with the little girl, she turns into my cat Sophie. I see some family members and hug them. That's when the angels start to descend. The sun gets so bright, and the angels have wings, but are kind of robotic. Almost like the angels from Neon Genensis Evangelion. Everyone watches and are lifted off of the ground about a foot. I try to jump to join them, but I don't float. I pick up Sophie, she and I watch the angels land while sitting on top of a pick up truck. Some people's faces change. Some grow wings. When they land everything goes back to normal, but some people are changed. No one really talks about what happened. I hug Sophie.

When I wake up Sophie is laying on my stomach.

A Note From the Universe

Seeing this helped me forget about my end of the world dream last night. I tried to stop it from happening but Sophie and I ended up sitting on top of a pick up truck watching it happen anyway. Sorry guys.

My Sense of Taste

If I tell you that I've redecorated and want you to come over to see the new digs - beware. I've been known to have the taste of a black and white movie set director. In theory, it looks great, but certain colors and patterns just should not be seen together. For example, one of the best houses I have ever seen (in the movies) was Pee Wee Herman's in PeeWee's Big Adventure. The front yard was a bit much. I prefer to have a nice layout with a good path to walk if I am to view a collection of lawn gnomes. Sometimes I wonder if that was how they decorated too. By texture and shadows, not by color. So, I took a still from the movie The Philedelphia Story. And I colored over it. Keep in mind that I need to hone my photoshop skills. But, wouldn't it be more interesting if houses really used color?

Laugh of the Insane

When things don't go your way, laugh the laugh of the insane.
When you find your own path, laugh the laugh of the insane.
When you spend more time with a kleenex box than your friends, laugh the laugh of the insane.
When something is funny, laugh the laugh of the insane but louder and more crazy-like. That way people will know when you're really happy.

Sushi makes all things better. And chocolate. And cuddling. Thank you for the concern.

It's Been A Bad Day Already

Powders, pills, syringe?

Oh yes, today will be a good day. Despite the wonderful rain last night, the heat will rise again today. With all of the breeziness, damn allergens still get stuck up my nose and come out in an explosive erruption when I sneeze. I'm hungry. The possibility of me going to Wal-mart within the next 24hrs is increasing. My chocolate supply at home is running out. A vital software isn't working. But it will all be okay. Why? Because a quote from my favorite blogger is on Google.

People often write me and ask how I keep my wood floors so clean when I live with a child and a dog, and my answer is that I use a technique called Suffering From a Mental Illness. ~Heather Armstrong

Buffy before Xander gets gills.

It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Someone by the name of SARAH requested ideas for her, Coco and Lou this weekend.

• make teddy bears for kids/cousins/people going away
• play with Nick's digital camera and then put it back w/out telling him you took pictures so he can be surprised
• style Mau's hair
• do a hand print collage
• play in the pool
• drive to a local furniture store/mattress store and be testers
• go to a local bakery and try out what that store is famous for
• fun with glitter pens
• make three books and take turns writing in each others
• turn on the radio, start singing, then turn the radio off. see how far you can get before you forget the words
• go to the zoo, name the animals, carry on conversations with them about what's going on w/ other animals in the zoo - bring posters and markers.

Willow talks about all of the exciting things you can see at the zoo.

Cibo Matto can clog dance?

Yet another reason to love Wikipedia: they have a list of lists. I discovered it while attempting to add more girl bands to my radio blog playlist.

And for the record, I am avoiding drama queens. But that won't prevent me from playing one.

Willow and sarcasm.
