I’m not really sure why a 3rd grade teacher would have their class do a free write on pocket knives…but mine did. Here it is…

My Pocket Knife
I don’t have a pocket knife and I don’t want one. I don’t think I need one either. For someone who would like to get one I would think the right age would be either at the age of eleven or twelve.
Here are some safety tips:
1. Keep it in a safe place
2. Never leave it open 
3. Never run when it’s open
4. Never point it at anyone
THE END

I’m really glad I had the clarity and sense of self at age 9 to know I didn’t want or need a pocket knife. Wise beyond my years with a firm grasp on safety rules. I’ll be sure to give my 11 year old the pocket knife they deserve.

Fruit Salad

Oct. 11, 1995

I love fruit salad. 

I think it’s delish.

I like strawberrys, peaches, canalope, grapes and watermelon.

I like when my Nana uses her canalope scooper, it makes little balls.

So here is one example of the many incredible works I created as a third grader…
Sept. 5, 1995

A Fishy Tale
One day I was swimming in a gully.
I heard my sister say there’s a fish.
So I swam over and caught the fish with my bare hands.
It was so big it pulled me to Europe.

Well that was all I wrote. Even I knew back then about the fish that pull you to Europe.

RIP Patrick Swayze 1952-2009

It’s hard to say which version of Patrick Swayze drives me the most crazy. I know I can rule out his reprise in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. He wasn’t horrible…it was just a horrible movie. But I’m torn between two incredible Swayze’s. The first being in Dirty Dancing during the Sylvia and Mickey scene. And then of course the second would be the Swayze in Ghost during the pottery scene with Demi Moore. Patrick Wayne Swayze may not have had the most successful music career with such tragic hits like “She’s Like the Wind”, but he certainly was pretty damn sexy.

So while in Shovelhead, as alot of people could tell you, I used to try to write Crocs into every sketch I wrote. I actually hate Crocs, but I thought it would be hilarious to have a pair of them decked out in Jibbets (the little things you put in the holes) that I didnt have to buy myself but could expense as a costume for comedic purposes. However no one ever wanted to put in these sketches. That’s fine guys. Your loss. 
Tonite I was just sitting in my suburbs house, flipping through an issue of the retired Dominoe magazine for decorating ideas for my new APT when I come across an Ad for the Croc heel. The model is actually called the cyprus. Obviously as you can tell they are totally hideous.
Here’s the catchy description:
 
The first high heel from Crocs, this classy slip-on shoe fuses comfort with style. Crocs™ Cyprus gives you a dress shoe choice that includes both a 3 inch heel and classic Crocs™ comfort. Made of croslite™ material just like original Crocs™, these dressy ladies’ heels feature a footbed that conforms to your foot for a custom fit. The circulation nubs stimulate blood flow. The whole design offers nothing but comfort.
These women’s heels are lightweight and easy to pack. Order your Crocs™ Cyprus today and never sacrifice comfort for style again.
I’m not really sure where one would wear these. The Croc’s website assures the customer that these are “not your mother’s heels” I mean…thanks Crocs…I know these aren’t my mothers heels she wouldn’t be caught dead in them.  I just want to know whose heels they are so I can hunt them down and ask them what so compelled them to make such a bold fashion choice.

I'm back I guess...

Hey betches…I decided it was about time I post something up hur. I mean I’ve had requests to be honest. Not trying to flatter myself - it’s just fact. I’ve become a career woman since the last time I posted -so there’s some news. Although I haven’t been writing down things that have happened in my life it doesn’t mean things aren’t happening because let me tell you they ARE happening. For example, my mom has developed an obsession with figs in fact one morning when I went to make lunch for work that was all that was in the fridge with some lettuce. Also she recently found some of my notebooks from 3rd grade. They are priceless. I think I might start putting up a few blurbs and scanning in the artwork I was into back then. I did most of my illustration work in Overwriter markers. My fave medium.

I’m thrilled to be back.

Hate you joking. Love you serious.

I can believe that Ryan Seacrest is going to be even more wealthy than he already is…but what I can’t believe is that we are going to have American Idol until 2012.
