Neon

I was going for a two-fer here: The neon bracelets which are must during summer night play-dates, and the fact that this child is carrying her mother's iPhone. (To be fair, it was just for a minute.)  But you can't quite tell it's an iPhone from this vantage point, so I'm not quite pleased with the shot.  Oh, well.  -> 


(On a completely different note, I wonder if I should tone down those colors?)  

(Yep.  I think so.)  

Green Flop

I am the first to admit that getting pedicures is a complete luxury and totally superfluous.  That being said, I love them.  But as a general rule, I always try to wear my own open-toed shoes in so I can wear them out again, for the very reason pictured above.  Those goofy, temporary foam flip-flops are worthless, and the pedicure places distribute them like candy.  As you can see oftentimes, they don't make it further than the trashcan in the shop.  I've often wondered how many pair they burn through in a single business day.  I bet it's a scary number. ->

The bathroom still isn't done.  These are the kinds of things one notices when one goes to Lowes.  Again.  ->

"What" you ask "is that?" Allow me to enlighten you.

This is what's called a "slap bracelet" which is all the rage right now for the target market age group of five to eleven-year-old girls. I guess they're kinda cool. It's easier for a visual than for me to try and explain them so I think you'll find this Youtube video quite educational.

At any rate, the animal on top of said bracelet has been dubbed The Loch Ness Monster. This gem was a treat from the dentist's office. And while I appreciate them not handing out Smarties like they doctor's office does, I can't say I appreciate more worthless junk crossing my threshold and destined to be hanging with the dust bunnies under the bed inside of a week.

Little Missy named her "Lockey".

Maybe with that personal touch, it will be ten days before she's residing with the dust bunnies. ->

Epic Fail

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst pictures in the series.  I was goofing around. I thought it would come out better than this.  I thought I took other pictures besides this one.  Sigh.  


It's supposed to be a silk flower.  Which I hate.  Hate, hate, HATE.  But it looks more like a group of newborn finches all cuddled up in their nest.  Have you seen newborn finches?  Not pretty.  


At any rate, it was the only one I had for the day, so I'm stuck with it.  ->

The Europeans sure do like their bottled water. There was only a few restaraunts that served us tap water. The rest was from a bottle--tap simply wasn't an option--and we were charged for it.

Isn't it the cutest thing ever??  It's a FAKE butterfly in a jar.  But the jar has "Butterfly" embossed on it, so that makes it all the more special.  Get this:  When you press the button?  The butterfly FLIES around.  Just like a real one would.  How cool is that?  And you can barely see the cable that attaches it to the battery pack, so you can fool all your friends.

Did you know that now instead of just buying the little cards with the paint color on them, you can get actual samples of paint mixed? It's true. Sherwin Williams helpfully sells them in quart sizes, so if you don't like the color, you're stuck 1/95th of a quart of it. Which is great. So handy to have that paint color you don't like lying around.

Pictured above is a rejected paint color by Mom. One of five. ->

Take two.  The more I looked at this photo, the more I liked it .  Should have gone with it in the first place.
