Really? REALLY REALLY?!

I just had to recap some recent moments that pretty much inspired and speak to the purpose of this blog for me......

This morning I was walking from where the bus drops me off, over the bridge and to work....and looked over and driving down the street was a totally 1980's convertible with the top down and literally about 50 boxes of bananas spewing out the top of the car. The best part was....there was someone in the backseat with their hair blowing all around......very glamourous- really!!

I also recently was trying to catch an early train on a Sunday morning and started busting down my street to look up and see a cloud of smoke rising from the sidewalk across the street.... low and behold a woman was, no joke, grilling some hamburgers on a mini, charcol grill at 7am on a SUNDAY! She then came across the street and was telling me about how someone called the cops on her.....and how she lived on the street etc., etc., etc., just at that moment the COPS showed up....and I ran away to catch my train!

Oh...yes...the fun doesn't stop there.....literally in the last week I was at Walgreen's in the card aisle looking at a wedding cards and this girl said, "It is really hard finding a card...when you dont' agree with the marriage....um.....yea! So then for literally 25 mins she tells me how she doesn't agree with the fact that her brother is marring this girl and that he called and asked her why she was coming if she didn't agree......and that she was going to see all her relatives who live all over the world........and YIKES.......at the end I had to get a new gallon of milk because mine was no longer cold......uh! No use crying over warm milk......

more on these random life experiences as they come! Cherio!

Baxie the puppy- DOG!

I normally think that most dog "clothes" are kinda over the top.....but I saw this doggie "polo" and had to give it a go! I have to say....I am pretty sure Baxie didn't end up loving it....she even had a get this off me ASAP look at one point. And to prove her disinterest in my attempt to make her a sporty dog...she ran through a the hose and a bunch of mud....making this little polo a thing of the past! Oh, well....at least we know where my dog and I stand on dog clothes.

She is getting SO big SO fast....she was only born in Feb....and now 6 months later she is a strong and wild puppy DOG! Just ask Vic!

Do you need to send a fun, funky or festive card, invitation or announcement?

I just love SNAIL mail and there is almost nothing more fun you can pull out of a mailbox (this does not apply if you win the lotto and they send you the winning check) than a hand addressed fun letter! The funny thing is....I also love writing up these fun, funky and festive cards....I was telling my friend how I think it would be so cool to start a business where I could do this as a job....you know the whole do what you love......

...in my mind this was totally a dream because I was envisioning having to quit my job, find a space to work, buy a million markers and address until my hand fell off. BUT WAIT....she said....just take some pictures of the letters you address and START SMALL.....what a novel idea....really.....just start small.

So, here I am starting small.....if anyone has a little batch of cards (of any kind) they'd like me to address let me know....I am starting small so even if it is just one letter....I can do it.....fee is starting small as well.....

Here is an example of a card I recently sent for a friend's birthday!
