  • My baby, my G5, my favorite thing to stare out in the whole world… won’t turn on, ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Well I should say it turns on and then just does nothing. Now this was no big deal for me when I had a PC because that friggin happened all the time (hence the change), but now, no no no. Okay well it’s really no big deal because there are a few other computers in this house (Bj’s G4 and powerbook and my new iMac), but still, it’s a little unsettling. Beeg says he’s going to work on it first thing in the morning, so cross your fingers for me. Now onto my day:

    I just have a little point and shoot so it’s not perfect, but hey.


    Sorry Bj, I had to.

    But he got to have fun on the rest of our drive. People, there is nothing like hearing bj sing to Gwen’s Hollerback Girls, “This shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S” So funny, so cute. And I don’t even like that song that much (though it is growing on me). Bj was talking about some ric rac ribbon I’m getting and he calls it “wiggly ribbon.” I just loved that. Okay so then I looked down at my foot and realized that the toenails I had just painted had a little chip, bummer right? Well no actually take a look:

    Bj says I should sell it on eBay as my lucky toenail (like this guy did after a football player steped on his foot and it turned all green and then he started winning poker everywhere). But I would rather my toenail stay on my foot.

    So we did other stuff besides driving around (which was expensive, damn gas prices!!!). Bj got a PSP. After a few tries he ended up getting one at Target, where I scored some more cute stuff (the Salem one is way more stocked than the Albany one): mini strong magnets, colored staples (.99), and this cool accordion note holder (so going to embellish that). The best score of the day though, was at this way random place in Salem that I have had a gift certificate at forever (I am so bad at spending these, and I don’t know why). I never got around to going there, but Bj talked me into it (the catalogs had been in the back seat for like a year, oops). Anyway the place was freaking AWESOME (thanks uncle Brad and aunt Pam)! I’ll make some stuff with the assorted papers I got there and post them up later. Then of course I had to buy something I totally didn’t need (but I can justify it). I was getting my mom an armband (happy You’re Fabulous Day Mom!!) for her new iPod (Bj decided he didn’t actually need three). And I saw these right next to them, and well, you’ll see:

    iPod socks!!!!! Holy Crapola. So much cuter than they looked online, so I just had to, and it comes with 6 so they match everything!

  • Whoa, who knew: Barbie’s Pregnant Friend Yanked. And she’s been married and has one kid already, but still WalMart said it gave kids the “wrong idea.” That’s so weird, considering she wears a wedding ring and everything (I checked mine, I never noticed it before, but she does have a little ring painted on). You may already know that I find WalMart to be really disgusting in almost every way so this is just icing on the cake. It’s called open sex education people and it’s good. This just leaves me so puzzled. I think people should be more upset that the husband is out flying a kite with the little kid while she gives birth. hmm. Well I’ll leave you with a sunny thought:

  • I don’t know how this happened. I have five barbies, and not from my childhood! But seriously I can’t help it. I mean toys are so cheap (compared to adult toys like the PSP). Oh and then I just get stuck on one and I want it so bad. And I just start thinking, hey I’m adult, I can buy what I want and I get one! Ah well, they make me happy. So from left to right. Ken, just got him today. He’s go blond movable hair (my Ken didn’t have that when I was Little), that feels like it has been hair sprayed to death. Bj says his shirt is lame and wanted me to get a Blaine, but I like this guy’s shorts. Then I have my Elle from Legally Blond 2. Bj got this one for me after I saw it online with the little dog, I was freaking out. Then there is the pregnant Midge. I was almost crying at Toys R’ Us when I first saw this doll. The very pregnant Midge is wearing platforms and as soon as her baby and stomach are removed (they are held on by magnet) she is like way too skinny. But the best part? On the back of the box it talked about how Barbie was her baby doctor, and that Ken was at the park with their three year old while she was giving birth. You can even get the Ken and son with a kite! LOL Nice things to teach boys, huh? Then we have another one from today, Lea. She is scented, I kid you not. She smells like sunscreen and the beach, it’s awesome. And her feet are not ever going to be shoved into too high of heals, even her toenails are painted! My favorite is my Malibu Barbie. This is a remake of the old school Malibu (the difference? This one comes with sunscreen). This was my varsity 4’s little sun goddess. We brought her in the boat for good weather luck (love the rain in Oregon, but not when I am laying down in the bow of a boat!). And isn’t her outfit awesome? That was in my stocking last year, a little hand knit Parisian number. You go Malibu!

    Okay so I don’t know why all the Barbies but I love changing their outfits. It’s weird because when I was little I liked my American Girl Doll Kirsten the best. Even in the little doll category Ginny Dolls where my favorite. They are these adorable little chubby girl dolls and they have the best fashion. I kind of just went crazy today and put a bunch of their cute clothes on my wish list on Amazon, so you can check out how cute they are. Speaking of cute, I snapped these of Bj today, I just love that guy:

    I dusted his guitar right after this 🙂

    His feet, so cute, and my new Old Navy sandals, I ran a girl down in Vegas to find out where she got them, and now I have them too! Yeah!!!

    Again with the camera?  Why yes, I just can’t help myself.
