My "random" file is filling fast, so I thought it was time for another "random" post...Do you see what my 6 year old's breakfast leftovers looked like this morning? I love it! Hard-boiled egg yolk eyeballs & a peanut butter toast crust smile.
Someone asked me a little while ago (sorry, can't remember who!) what the "MS" in "WhiMSy love" stands for. OK, are you ready for the answer? Here it is: absolutely nothing. I just thought I'd be so ever so "artsy" & "whimsical" & make some of the letters bigger & some smaller & so that's what came about. I COULD make up something clever though. Any ideas?
I keep getting a lot of hits on my blog from THIS WEBSITE. But I can't figure out why or where or who or huh?
I also had a few of you ask what I sent my partner for the latest Owlie Swap I participated in. Click HERE for Jessica's blog post about it.
Have you ever driven up to a STOP sign & waited for it to turn green? Or come home from running errands & stood right outside your front door trying to unlock it with the keyless remote button from your car? Yeah, me neither....
I went thrift shopping today! Look at all that yummy bright perfect-for-spring-&-summer yarn!!! I don't knit. Although, I've been thinking of learning to crochet. (2 needles scare me. 1, I think I can handle.) I am using this yarn for a project I've had in my head for a while. And the cool thing is that I went to the thrift store SPECIFICALLY for yarn, hoping to get colors exactly like these. SCORE!
I also picked up a couple treats for the 'Vintage' department in the shop. This 80's see-through Conairphone is totally rad. Seriously, I look at this phone & Madonna's "Lucky Star" echoes through my head. And I see visions of mall hair & my favorite oversized neon sweater.
And, of course, I couldn't leave the thrift shop without snatching a few old books.
I haven't tweeted in a while on Twitter, but the other day I noticed that someone 'following' me has me sandwiched right between Jimmy Fallon & Ashton Kutcher. haha!
Today is the last day of winter! YIPPEE!!
Ok, enough randomness for one day.
Don't feel bad- I had a pair of the most comfortable pink capris that I snagged from Goodwill and the Hubs hated them. I finally got rid of them because he'd scowl when I wore them and people thought he was so mean looking! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI also have never stood outside my front door and tried unlocking it with my keyless entry for my SUV. ;)
LOVE your thrift shop finds! I also went thrifting yesterday and bought some cool treasures. A HUGE bag of buttons for only 2.99- I mean, come on!
i always assumed the MS was for some type of feminist statement. it suits your personality, or what we blog followers see in your ambition, enthusiasm & zest for life.
ReplyDeleteand we are several weeks into 'autumn' now - summer's over :(
ReplyDeleteit was nice at the beach today tho!
:D My friends get embarrassed by me for dressing "oddly". Especially when I wear legos in my hair. Or when I wear huge flowers in my hair. Or when a wear neon bows in my hair. Or crazy awesome knee high socks. I know they're just jealous of my awesome style. ;)

I love that phone! If I could find one at a thrift store I'd snap it up too! So totally awesome -especially with big hair and huge neon sweaters ;)
ReplyDeleteI always liked the yellow part best! Fun yarn colors! I can make a crochet chain! :0)
ReplyDeleteNot a good picture for me to look at of your daughter's leftovers after what I found last night!

You are like, the best thrifter ever! I never get that lucky at my local thrift stores. Those phones were the best, don't you miss old school technology?
ReplyDeletep.s.
I love the randomness, keep it up!
Oh I remember those phones! I loved them! I so want one now. Always good to have a cord phone in the house when the power goes out so you can call the power company to see what's going one. :-) And umm MS are my initials. No really. So you umm did it in my honor. :-) Its ok to lie to me and say that you did. :-D And love the yummy yarns. I can already feel the warmth from them. And don't fear two needles, they are your friend. ;-)
ReplyDeletedude...that is pretty rad stuff! the 80's rocked.:D can i just say that i wish you were my next door neighbor and friend? i think you would be the funnest neighbor ever!
ReplyDeleteHey - I have green cords, too and, get this: I'm wearing them right now!!!
ReplyDeleteYou made me appreciate my husband so much because he does NOT sing to me when I wear them!
Great breakfast leftovers -- I would've taken a picture of that, too!
