a feeling that's right

I moved away from the consistency of meeting all the latest trends...
stepped out into the world and found myself the better friend.

searching for that feeling that's right.
gotta have a feeling that's right.


the pushers will push until they make up your mind
but with someone other than yourself being the boss the happiness lies behind....


take time to realize and do things you love
take time to realize the one who counts is above.

standing strong like a goddess when others step in
backing down from them this time is not gonna' win..

take the advice and run.. like a pale, streaking fool
 unless you get a feeling that's right.. 
oh, you get a feeling that's right.

hang around for the stories that need to be told just remember
the sunset speaks quietly if you are welcoming others your soul

does your life make you wanna' dance all night?
if only people pleasers would do themselves some good..
make a toast for a change and get a feeling that's right...
oh, you gotta' get that feeling that's right.
and baby make it last all your life.

(i had a surprise visitor grace me with her presence late last night and we started our morning off with some quiet time to each write a song. this is what my brain came up with.... now where is our little guitar player to put it to music? we will be awaiting your arrival in the hammock... and just in case i have my harmonica....i hope you enjoy)

love,

Oh REAL SIMPLE you are my favorite. 

I heart hosting parties, showers, ect.... 
Down here in Ala-Bam we are sweating away in the 90's and it's (already) h-o-t-t hott HOT. Say hello to the South.
I prefer parties outside but only when the weather will permit and allow guests to attend without it being heat-stroke season. Ugh, the humidity makes me melt. Anyway, enough about the weather... I can find other common grounds that people take less offensive to talk about but I do (this time) have somewhere I'm going with this....

I LOVE THIS IDEA.
It leaves only the solids.

Why have I never thought about this?
Brilliant.... yet.... "real simple"


I hope you have had a funky hump day.
As we cross through the 26th and quickly approach the month of June.... what will you do on your last few days of May twenty ten?

love,
m

I've got two things for you, tater tots!
(both egg realted....just different birds)

I love the color robins egg blue. I want furniture in that exact shade.

And now for the flip flop part....

Who in the world was the first person to say -
"hey, i think i'm going to eat whatever it is inside that egg... you know, the egg that comes out of a chickens butt!"

(thanks a lot daddy and david for discussing this in front of the girl who absolutely loves eggs and nearly almost every day for breakfast cooks herself one. yes, that would be me. i'm sure you both were unaware that this morning my breakfast would be cooked, thought about, and thrown away)

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WISH I COULD(simply)FORGET!
Now what is a freak like me supposed to eat for breakfast when we are out of milk and/or cereal? Thanks pumpkin heads. No really, i'm mad.  

love,
m

happy hump day.
do something crazy.

and start it off by wearing bright colors.
i realize that the "color" that is hott right now is grey with pastels but....
come on....
it's hump day for crying out loud. (!!!!!!!!!!)
be bold and make something funky happen in your part of the world.

love,
m

Guess who turned two?

parties are so much fun....

Especially when they are for dogs!

is the result of this guest!

(But when is she not happy? When I leave her. That's the only time and it's rare that it happens)

Here.... you guys can be filled in on the festivity that took place Sunday!

(Ziggy- You've Got Mail) 

My sweet little one year old pooch got her first invite to a birthday party.... she has attended other parties (New Years, Cinco De Mayo and such) but Ziggy has never been invited to a BIRTHDAY PARTY! She got her very own personalized invitation in the mail, too. So as a mother what do I do? I make sure she has the perfect party attire. If by chance you know the birthday boy... oh the birthday boy.... the birthday boy....

COBY!
Cute little nugget, Coby! He's TWO!

(that is his birthday shaved ice he's enjoying)

Just a couple of the party pooches sun bathing.

(neither of the two are crazy about getting in the pool)

I know you are ready to see some party attire.... these dogs might as well have the red carpet rolled out for them every step they take.

Meet Molly - She is wearing a Juicy Couture shirt... Go Nuts!

Her Pearls were purchased at a jewelry store on Rodeo Drive.

Hello, Ziggy Wiggy!

She is wearing a Betsey Johnson tutu.

(and stealing treats and being a total Indian giver are included with her outfit)

Party Pooches in Pink!

Heeeey, crooked teeth Ellie. Your grill is in competition with Ziggy's.

Drum roll please.........

The birthday boy in his pimp attire...........

Meet Coby- He is proudly wearing Polo Woof Lauren.

He had to get all jazzed up for the lovely lady pooches that attended his big event.... and yes, it was only ladies!

Presents!!!!

(and a personalized towel for the one and only)

Let's open gifts, already!

Sweet Ziggy is trying hard not to get too jealous.

Thanks, Memo and Grandad! You two are always so thoughtful. Ziggy wasn't finding it easy to watch Coby open up bookoodales of gifts. This treat (that was NOT made in China by the way) was a perfect thing for the crooked teeth guest. She loved it and it helped tremendously with Ziggy learning to spell her name....labeling her prizes are a must these days!

Note to all of the party pooches:
Leave this ninja alone while she is eating her bone.
Thanks,
Cobypalooza Management

Party Favors?

Why, of course!

Dear Coby,

Thanks so much for inviting me to your 2nd Birthday Bash!

I had so much fun. It was pawfect. I will be one happy girl when you come visit me in Gantt. So you are your parents need to make that happen.... soon! 

Love,

Ziggy

P.S. Would you mind bringing me some more of the peanut butter cookies and ice-cream? Thanks.

 

The birthday sign was intended to be used for my sister's (Coby's Mom) birthday in a garland form....that didn't get finished thanks to me. So instead I hooked a pug up with it.... Even making it puppy proof. (a.k.a. the birthday boy marking his territory)

Sunday was a Funday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COBY!

love,

m

I think Chelsea Handler is totally rocking her poof pull back hair style tonight. I might be alone with that thought but if so, that is okay with me. I would definitely choose her lifestyle in my second life if I had an option....


I love the train wrecks that I glue my eye balls to on (most)Sunday nights.... thank you E! Especially thanks to the way the network shows them all over and over again. Because sometimes....just sometimes.... I am asleep (or something more crazy than sleeping) when the "new" comes on.

Kendra.
Kardashians.
Pretty Wild.


all of those crazy pants are awesome in some dysfunctional way.

I am so glad the world we live in has fantastic musicians who share their talent with the people who are hanging around this planet..... What would my life be like without enjoyable tunes?! Ewwww. I don't want to think about that.

Sooo, here.... have yourself a GOOD TUNE TUESDAY.

Mofro - Blackwater.

Oh how wonderful this crew is. They rocked my face off when I saw them at Wanee Music Festival. In fact, Mofro won the  "my favorite" title for the entire festival. Yep. Sure did.

love,

chalk talk.














Life doesn't always have to be black and white.... the options are endless. If you "live a life that you love" you will realize the color (or colors) you choose are up to you. Make the most of your days and paint a bright canvas if that is what you please...

But

most of all

regardless

of your personal 

color choice

let

there be

love.

love,
