Last but not least!

This is what i have been working on for the last two weekends.

Before & After

The new color is pumpkin patch. the old color was pink painted over with grey- which was neither purple, grey or brown. i hated it. i have no idea what the previous owners were thinking. we also got new towel racks, toilet paper holder and replaced the ugly light box with a new light fixture. we like it! the room seems bigger and it adds some brightness our hallway.

Spring is Here!

Last week, i opened up the front door to let the warm 45 degree weather in. afraid that Black bastard was going to bust through the scream by hanging on it i set up stools, one for each kitty to look outside and sniff the fresh air.

yeah, they ran around like idiots for the next hour. FRESH AIR!!!!!

Gigantor's Easter Miracle!!!

For years and years and years, my mom has owned Gigantor. Gigantor is the biggest Christmas Cactus on the face of the planet. We think he's older than me- but he's so old no one really remembers. Gigantor has babies all over Minnesota and Wisconsin. Anyhow...the best thing about Gigantor, is that he blooms flowers at Christmas (hence the name of his Flora) but also at Easter. I was really scared of inheriting Gigantor when they moved. i didn't want to kill him, and i didn't want the cats to eat him.

After having Gigantor for one month, i saw this- one week before Easter. :)

He only got one bloom, but i am just relieved that he likes me and is content in this house.

Bon Voyage!

My parents recently moved to the Milwaukee area. We had a going away party for them. Due to the fact they are WAY too close to Green Bay, home of the Packers, we had a Packers Immunization Party. Here is part of the invite. Everything was Vikings themed.

As happy as we are that they have been reunited,
a dark, new fear looms on the horizon.

Not one of long road trips, or phone calls in place of hugs,
but the close proximity to Green Bay.

We need to prepare our loved ones for their journey.
They are pilgrims in an unholy land.
We must give them the strength to fend off
cheese heads and rabid Favre fans.

No parent of mine will ever sport green and gold.

It was a nice party. Everyone they wanted to see- actually everyone invited showed up. here are some pictures.

The Table.

Some of our guests grubbing on BBQ Beef, Chips and....

MMMMMM Rosemary Rollups. THE GREATEST APPETIZER OF ALL TIME.

In the middle, Betsy- Creator of the DELICIOUS Rosemary Rollups, and the 50,000 cupcakes. :)

It was also Sebastian's 8th Birthday. He didn't have any interest in his cupcake.
