Photo bombing Oscar style

 I was going to do a post on all the outfits I loved and disliked
but I figured
There would be a lot of those
So
I decided instead that I would share some of my favorite pictures of the evening


I love a good photo bomb
Like it even more when a celebrity is doing it
Just nice to seem them having fun

Jessie Ferguson
You crack me up
The effort you took to make this happen
Gold star to you for effort my friend

source

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I love this man
So feel free to photo bomb me anytime

source

Kyle Maclachlan
I adored you in Twin Peaks
Then Show Girls happened
However
This picture from some Oscar Party, red carpet 
Has redeemed you

source

Last but not least
My favorite photo of the night
(sorry if it offends)

Jennifer Lawrence
Lets just say
If I looked this good and just won an Oscar
I would probably be giving you the finger too

The week is half over my friends!

Do you hear the people sing...yes sadly that was about all I heard

I was up way too late last night

Then when I finally was ready to sleep

Guess what?

I could not

Does that not drive you insane 

When it happens

Those darn Oscars

Running so late 

Was not surprised though

Since the opening went on forever....

Seth MacFarlane

I had such high hopes

Sadly for the most part you let me down

You gave me a few laughs

But 

Not nearly as many as I wanted

Do you know what saved you as host

That devilish little smile of yours

That little twinkle in your eye

Knowing that there was something you wanted to say but didn't

I wish you had

I think the night would might have been better

There was A LOT of singing

It did kinda feel like the Tony Awards

I did not mind the signing

It just felt kind of all over the place

Especially

How the Best Original Songs were introduced

Am I the only one who felt this?

I was not surprised by any of the winners

I will say this

Mr. Affleck

I have never been a big fan

But your growing on me 

I look forward to your future endeavors

As far as the Oscar fashions
That I will leave for another day

What were your overall thoughts of the night?

Sunday..fun day?

Sunday

Fun Day

More like catch up day for me

At least this week

 

I helped the mom move

Will still be moving her this week

My legs and arms are very sore

Just a very small amount of boxes that I moved

The kid had a lacrosse practice 

(that was not planned)

Did get the season schedule

As well as days of practice

Needless to say my evenings and Saturdays

Now belong to all things lacrosse

Makes the kid smile though

Luv this Kid

I did find a bit of me time

Wandered around Barnes & Noble

Drink in hand

Ahh 

Great late afternoon treat

Happiness in a cup

It is now Sunday evening

 I have laundry washing

Dishes are done

Mopping is done

Kid is happy and clean

So now I'm catching up on my blog reading

And blog writing

 

Mainly though

I am gearing up for all the red carpet madness for the Oscars

Loving every minute so far

 Kinda can't wait to see what Seth MacFarlane

Gets away it

 

 

 

It's a letter kind of F.R.I.D.A.Y

Oh thank goodness

Another Friday has arrived

Even though this weekend will be busy

And the weather not that great

I will take it

F

Finally

 My mother is moving into a 1 bedroom apartment

She has been living in a darling little studio for about 4 years now

She was on a waiting list

But finally her time has come

I know she is thrilled to have an actually bedroom again

So goodbye dorm like living

Welcome back to adult living

Only downside

I get to help moving

I hate the process of moving

I have done it far too many times

R

Ready

For Spring

February has been up and down 

In the weather department

But 

I am ready for green to come back

Windows to be opened

Spring cleaning sounds like a joy to me right now

So winter please 

Say your goodbyes

I

Intentions

Should be good

Sometimes they are not

I think I need to listen more

Not give my two cents

(even when asked)

Smile and nod

D

Digging

That is what I felt I was doing in my closet this week

So basically this means

A clean out is in order 

Pronto

I do not have the time do go digging every morning for clothes

Nor do I plan on getting up earlier to do so

Some purging will be happening

Hopefully it will all get done this weekend

Or at least started

A

 Amore

I  recently read

2 books that love was a prominent player

One involved a dysfunctional love 

Another a heartbreaking love

Both I enjoyed very much

Don't want to say much more

Check them out though

Gone Girl  & The Fault In Our Stars

   

 Y

 Youth

Mine is fading

Ok, it has been for awhile sadly

But 

The other day I saw those little eye lines

This did not make me happy

I get we age, we get wrinkles

I do get to whine about it

(if only for a minute)

What (inexpensive) eye creams would you reccomend? 

    

Enjoy your weekend! 

   

 

       

When Spooning Goes Wrong

I left work early Friday 

The Kid had an appointment

The plan was I would meet her at the bus stop

Then book it to the appointment to get there by 330

That was the plan

It did not happen

What did happen

A few phone calls 

A bunch of confusion

And one really annoyed mom

By the end of it all

As I was saying my good-byes at work

My cell phone goes off

It is the Kid calling me 

(at this moment I think I knew the plans were out the window)

I could barely hear the Kid

I could tell she is on the bus by the all the noise

All I understood is that she was going to be late

Something happened on the bus

Cops are being called

And that it involved a 

spoon

Yes, I just said spoon

I tell her I will meet her at the bus stop

Now in the 5 minutes it takes me to get home

I get another call from the Kid father

He is now heading to the school

The Kid called him 

He informs me the bus is turning around and heading back to the school

Dad is now en route to the school as well to figure what heck is going on

(Sometimes, OK most of the time the Kid doesn't explain things well)

 Great!

So I pull up to our home

Call the Doctor's office to let them know I might be late

They want to know how late

At this point I don't know 

I estimate no later then 4pm

I'm put on hold

Then I get a text from the Kid

"Do not come to the school"

Um, to late your Dad is on his way

So I try to get in touch with him

The office finally gets back on the line

I will need to reschedule

Ugh

But I understand.

Kid texts me again

"Bus turned around.On our way home.Be there in a few minutes"

Of course! 

I call her Dad to let him know

2 minutes later

The Kid is home

It is 325pm

So what happened?

Middle school students

Being Middle school students

A little to loud for a Friday afternoon

 Plus a substitute bus driver

Gummy bears being thrown

Then it escalated to the heinous crime 

The crime that got the Cops called

Someone on the bus pulled out a

PLASTIC SPOON

 And threw it

 source

This is why my Friday afternoon plans did not happen

All because of a freaking plastic spoon.

Let me end this by saying

I respect school bus drivers

I know it is a job that I could never do

However

I think there are some bus drivers out there who should not be driving

If your calling the Cops over a fight or and accident I get it

but over plastic ware?!?!

Am I wrong for being annoyed by this?

 

 

Let Them Eat Cake

Why does the weekend go by so quick?!

I even had an extra day this weekend

I did my best to sleep in this weekend 

Failed daily

I did take part of my weekend on Saturday

For some retail therapy

 I did not buy anything for myself 

Just a couple of candles

 The Kid made out though 

It is fun right now shopping with her

Her style is coming out

Helps that we don't have arguments over her choices

I will enjoy this moment while it lasts ,ha ha

Sunday

I cleaned 

It needed to be tackled

I had people coming over on Monday

I had applied at House Party*
check it out  

 To host an Adventure Time  Fiona and The Cake Party

I figured I would take the day off 

And allow the Kid to play hostess to some of her friends

It was a good time all around

I  made a cake

I don't bake often

So I was very proud of myself

Everyone said it was tasty

10 Kids

In my not so big living room

It was loud

But worth it 

As the Kid's Grandma always says

"It is about making memories"

 

 

*I was not paid for hosting a party for the House Party site.I've had good experiences both times I have participated with them.

The day I was productiv...oooh look at that

I should be cleaning

I NEED to be cleaning

I just cant stay

Cleaning

I get side tracked

A LOT

Like this is a good blog idea

Let me put this broom down

Not productive at all

I will get back on track 

If for the only reason

I have people coming over on Monday

Kids 

So things some things need to be moved 

Out of harms way

Oh you know what else I  don't think is gonna get a proper finish 

This post

I need to go to the store as well

So much for cleaning and Blog posts

 

F R I D A Y it is here!

Cupid do you do dishes?

Happy Valentine's Day

To those who like to celebrate the loves in their lives

I've never been huge on the day

But

I'm not going to rain down on someone Else's parade

I don't want flowers

Or

Sparkly things

Or even

Dinner

I would be happy 

If someone

Did my dishes

And 

Folded my laundry

 I am serious

Those 2 things

Done for me

Would probably 

Make me tear up

I did pick up 

A little something

For the Kid

yummy

Enjoy whatever special things you (might) receive today!

XOXOXO

 

 

 

Thanks CBS for making my Grammy experience a little less fun

So can I ask why side boob is not OK

But 

Cleavage is?

(As long as it is not cleavage of the buttocks region)

I think Miranda Lambert said it well,

"No puffy skin.I don't even know what that is.I kinda think I broke that rule."

If this is what puffy skin means,sign me up

source

The viewers watch these shows to see what people will wear

Did CBS not get that memo

OK we watch for the awards too

But

We are talking about the clothes the next day

I think CBS need to relax

Are they worried about complaints from viewers

Hello

You have some shows that make far more risque comments

2 and 1/2 Men, 2 Broke Girls

And you know what 

I watch them and laugh

Or change the channel

So thank you CBS 

For shielding my eyes 

From the side boob,puffy skin and whatever other things you felt I did not need to see

Kinda felt like you sent this memo on purpose

(and leaked it)

You probably had your viewership increased a bit 

By people watching to see if anyone broke the rules

 Oh well

The Oscars are coming up

The one comment I will make is that there was some great music going on last night

That is the one area of the Grammys that did not disappoint

FUN. Looking like they are having fun.He is so dorky looking but I luv him.

source 

What are your views about the memo?

Was it just me?

 

 

Kinda hard to take a storm serious when it sounds like a Disney Attraction

I might kid about this winter storm's name

Hello?!

Those silly weather people named it Nemo

I live in the Northeast so snow is a given

Granted the last few years 

Have been good to us

But Ladies and Gentlemen

Mother Nature is gearing up to make trouble in my neighborhood

I live in that lovely area of 18"-24"

Not looking forward to shoveling that

The one positive

This will be mainly a weekend storm

So come the end of my shift 

 I can go home and close the door

Snuggle with the Kid and watch some movies

Hopefully we do not lose power

But things are charging as I type this

Just in case

So to all those out there

In those lovely colored areas of the map above

What are your plans for hiding form Nemo?

 

Just another day of the week

Wednesday

You are an odd day

You are the middle of the work week

So depending on the type of person you are 

You are either loathing the fact that it it only Wednesday

Or doing a small happy dance knowing the work week is half over

This particular Wednesday is a busy one for my house

(honestly we have had things going on every night so far this week)

The Kid has basketball practice this evening 

But even before that she has Chess Club after school

Hoping that the homework is light 

Because we also need to stop by a friend's house 

And wish one of my favorite little kids

A very Happy 7th Birthday

Feeling bad that I have had no time or money to run a get him something

My plan to make it up to him is to take him out 

Just him and I

And let him pick his gift 

Also sneak in some ice cream as well

Gonna  leave ya with this song
 Which I'm loving sooo much right now
I love a sappy love duet

 

Touchdowns and Angels

So by now we all know who won the Superbowl
Whether you care or not
I watched
But do you want to know what my favorite part was
(nope not half time)
It came after the game
When Chykie Brown of the Ravens
Laid down in all the confetti covering the field
And made a snow angel in it
The pure joy of the win
That was  my favorite moment of the Superbowl

source

I found a lovely little Pin

 via

For a simple breakfast or afternoon snack

It was literally 4 ingredients

I only tweaked one of the ingredients

Instead of plain applesauce

I used cinnamon applesauce

I can't wait to try it different fruit toppings

I also think I will let it cook just a bit longer

So that I get a bit more of a crunchy edge

 Other than that I loved this

yummy

 This will be my new lazy Sunday breakfast from now on

Getting down and dirty

I got all down and dirty this weekend

Oh get your mind out of the gutter

I cleaned the kitchen

I mean REALLY cleaned

Took everything out of the cupboards

Threw away anything outdated 

Grouped things together

Cleaned out the junk drawer

It was tedious

Hated every minute of it

But 

I now have a clean organized kitchen

(well except for the fridge)

Sunday
A very busy day
Up and running
Earlier then I would have liked
But
My own fault
Forgot to pick up something the Kid needed for the day

Coffee
Inhaled x2

Then off
To register the Kid for Lacrosse
Boy is my wallet crying
Its her first time trying this sport
However
If the smile on her face after practicing for 2hrs
Is any indication
I think I better get used to my wallet's tears

Horrible pictures but I'm sure Ill make up for it during the season

It was then a small rest
Then off and running again
Not far though
Just down the road for a little Super Bowl get together
We ate too much stuff
We laughed
We all shook our heads at what was happening on the field 
Then it was half time

I know I might get some flack for this comment
Am I the only one who could really care less about Beyonce
She is a great performer but lets just say I'm more of a Coke person
Now if her man was up on that stage  that would be a half time show

 BLACKOUT

Weird right
Imagine being on line for the bathroom when that happened
I took that as my cue to take the Kid home
After getting herself and I ready for bed
I myself climbed into bed
And turned on the game
Happy to see that the Niners have gotten back in the game

Honestly
I don't care overall who wins
I like the 49's because I had a crush on Joe Montano when I was kid
The Ravens are a good team too
I would rather watch a game where it was a close call
Sit on the edge of your seat
Holding your breath
Kind of game
Then a beat down
 So to whomever wins
Congrats!
Now please pass the antacids

5 Things you don't know about me

5 Things you don't know about me

I'm linking up to

this blog

I don't have an Instagram

 So getting tagged  would be impossible

I know WHAT?!?!

An artsy pic taken after getting my eye make up done before a pirate party Argh!

1

I have no idea what I'm doing blogging

But I do know I enjoy 

Reading them

So as I find my voice

Bear with me

 One day

My blog might be 

Great

(or at least better)

2

My friends 

Always come to me and vent

Or ask for advice

I do my best to help them out

However

I cant seem to do the same

I feel like they have enough going on 

Why dump my issues on them

3

I have never met my father

I know a few things

Like his name

That he is from Denmark

and was a Danish Sailor

It would be nice to know what he looks like now

But mainly  I want him to know

That I don't blame him for his choices

He did what he thought was right

4

I spent a year of my life 

In foster care

That family will always be part of  me

I still stay in touch

And consider them part of my family

5
 Sometimes
I like to just go to a movie
By myself
Me and my popcorn or twizzlers
Honestly
If I could have the whole theater to myself
That would be even better


I had fun with this post. Need to link up more often.
