background of the week

mermaids

he's the man

GET SOME

during the summer

the middle boys in the family

started saying GET SOME!

when they would do something cool or good

and eventually we all started saying it.

that and "yeah boiiii!"

seems like the hot boys of one direction picked up on it

...tonight let's GET SOME! and live while we're young....
some what? 

aussie ballet

how perfect is that shirt?!

$50 sweet, hannah needs one

and i do too

and the print's an ace - 

setting it as my new background pronto.

both of them were made for the australian ballet

digggin it!

from here, mate

i'm over kit kats.

yesterday my dad used fun-size kit kats to spell out

i love you

on my mom's side of the bed to surprise her

because she was saying how she was craving chocolate.

when she came in the room and saw the kit kats on her bed

she went over and messed them all up and said 

"i'm over kit kats!" 

without even noticing that it spelled out

i love you

and when my dad told her, they laughed about it...

HAHA - best story of the day

succs to succ.

housewarming present for seamus and liam:

succulents and beer.

considering that i have found 

all of the furniture and light fixtures

for the place

might as well add a woman's touch with some plant life, too

ps - eye spy with my little eye a mandible in one of these photos

picture day

b&c: tessa, will you do curlers for picture day tomorrow?

tessa: i don't think i know how to do that

b&c: yes you do, you did it on us for liam's graduation

tessa: oh shoot guess i do know how to do it

b&c: lemme guess, you were trying to say that so you didn't have to do it

tessa: what? i don't know what you're talking about

b&c always win.

goodnight, rdh

sometimes nothing feels as good as

brushing your teeth and going to bed

today was another long day

but tomorrow is sunday

my favorite day

day day day

from here

the longest week

current wallpaper

half mast flag for 9-11

at my favorite color post office

printed this sketch on resume paper

and hung it on the inside of the medicine cabinet in the bathroom

with a shell magnet

that's how much i love it

watching hannah and emma in their ballet

with bell and chel

if i had a clear one of emma dancing, it would be here too

the top shelf

it was a long week.

RBFM.

spent sunday morning dripping sweat with ashley

at the rose bowl flea market

i went there thinking i was going to find a snazzy pitcher

if i was lucky enough to happen upon one

and instead i was drawn to everything religious

so many madonna & childs

so many rosaries and medals

got myself a tiny miraculous medal to sew onto a bracelet in the future

and a seafoam green rosary for my car

got liam a crucifix to wear

snapped a pic of this beautiful, wood-carved saint joseph

we won't get into how all the vendors at the flea market

are just talkin' out their ________

spewing bs about where their stuff is from 

how much it's worth

and why a mirrored vanity plate would ever be $100 is beyond me

but she could do $80 on it

how about i give you zero dollars and walk  away

win-win situation, liar

however, later we will get into furniture from the 1960s

big penchant for it at the mo

part of your popocorrrno!

a couple nights ago at 8:48pm

seamus texted me just the link to this youtube video

i'm still not entirely sure why

maybe because i like am enamored with mermaids,

maybe because it's a good song

(maybe he had to tie his shoe

or his thumbs fell off so he couldn't text 

or got caught up with a busy day

or maybe, you know, he just wanted to do that)

 i was on the edge of my seat waiting for it to turn into a rasta version
but, alas, it didn't.

nevertheless, i watched the whole thing

then at 9:28pm liam texted me the link to this video

they didn't plan it, they were just both thinking of me

and they both made me pretty happy

anyhoo....

POPOCORRRRNO!

               

today, jr.

what the chuck.

charm necklace.

eye spy desk shot.

buncha junk on my desk

per yewj

welcome back, watch

it's go time

texting declan

declan got a phone

clearly, liam wants to know where i am

nunya bidniss where i am, liam

so scrummy

chutney

love love love

i love love love

this song

it makes me sad

read the lyrics

my favorite line is

So I think it's best

We both forget

Before we dwell on it
