Evil Came Knocking

A group of boys came to our door (probably around 10 years old) and said they were on a scavenger hunt.  They needed to trade this thing (a gingerbread thing that goes on a door knob) for the coolest thing in our house.  Hello, The Fortunate Hammer!  What is cooler than The Fortunate Hammer?  Huh?  I'd like you tell me, because I can think of nothing cooler.   I gave it to them and a couple of them (good kids) said, "This is cool!" 

But this one little boy, who I could tell is pure evil,  told me, "No, thank you, we need something cool.  Something for a boy."

And this other boy (who totally rocks) said, "But this IS cool." 

And the evil little boy said to me, "No, no thank you." 

All the little boys listened to The Omen and agreed that they would move on to the next house.

I snatched The Fortunate Hammer back and told them, "Yeah, good luck, you aren't going to find anything cooler than this." 

The Chuckster

I really need ought to run tonight.  But, will I?  The Ipod is charging, so there is a small chance.  We'll see.

I started cutting up the felted sweaters, but I think that I need bigger squares than I thought.  What am I making?  A bag. 

I dyed another muslin today.  This time I went for a tan.  I might dye it another color.  We'll see.  The next time I dye one I'm doing pink or wine. 

We did a dollar store swap on a yahoo group that I belong to and my pal got her box today, so I can finally reveal this dollar store find:

Dang, who knew that Chuck Norris had the secret to inner strength?   

Baby 2008

Zorba and I are considering playing hooky from our KinderMusik class today and going to a museum instead.  We'll see. But first, I must share with you another $ store find.  This one is not as exciting as The Fortunate Hammer or Sweet Love, but I think it is interesting. 

I saw this purse and I knew it had to be mine because it says," Baby" and "2008."  And there is a decent chance that we won't have our baby until 2008, so obviously this purse was meant to be mine. 

Why Baby 2008? 

Sweet Love

Yesterday I visited the dollar store where I found The Fortunate Hammer and discovered something new, exciting, and refreshing.  I discovered Sweet Love!  It is complete, disposable, and ready-to- use. 

Extra Mild.  All natural. 

Triple Cleansing.  Neutralizes odor and leaves a fresh clean scent.

Ahhhh, Mountain Spring! An airy mountain scent that will make you feel clean and confident.
