Okay...

i'm the lame gal sending/forwarding links like a nutty...or a shut-in. completely filling up email boxes with things that make me say, "OOOH! I bet so-and-so would DIG this!" and i can't do it any more...i think they've gotten used to deleting what i send. ;) so...i thought i'd just put a few things HERE...in case anyone still visits HERE! it's been a while.

okay, okay...ready? here's what i got:

natural hair care + make-up
Baking soda no-poo recipe/directions

Organic make-up w/super cheap sample prices!

yum...food

Turn your kiddos' art into a poster (might be an easier/less expensive way to do it. a great idea for holiday gifts to grandparents - select a piece from each grandkid.)

Make mermaid tales for your little girl's dolls. This is comes from the blog of Amy Karol, the author of this book. I've been to a LOT lately...and most of these links were mentioned in posts I've found there.

Happy birthday, Ann!

A very happy birthday to Ann!

Hope it is a fantastic day!

You ROCK!

Love & hugs,

Your sisters in WINE

STEP AWAY FROM THE BARGAIN!

On a trip to Target (made out of necessity I assure you), I ran in to Jen Peebles, our dear fellow WINE-ness (WINE-o is kind of male and dirty, WINE-ness is all goddess and lovely). She was killing time during ballet. Don't we ALL kill time in Target? There SO needs to be a 12-step program.

ANYWAY, in her hand were the above pictured clothes. The shirt was on super sale, $2, the shorts I think were $4. She admitted that she wasn't sure why she was buying them. At those prices, who could blame her, right? Not me. Besides, we have a GIRLS' SWAP coming up...I figured they might make there way in. ;)

After a few minutes of chit-chat, she head off in search of hairspray and I continued my quest for sanity.

I eventually made my way down the long side aisle of travel toiletries. And BAM-O! The same Jenny Bobenny outfit...hanging in front of the cotton balls. Now, I know that Target has those obscure locations for discounted goods, but I was pretty sure no employee would have left clothes here. Nope.

I laughed out loud at the sight. It was like finding Jen's scrawl in a bathroom stall “Jenny Bo Benny was here!” I was packing my camera from Abby's earlier parks and rec class. Knowing Jen's love for all things photography, I thought she'd appreciate how I collected the "evidence". I got a few odd looks from some of the shoppers.

Jen exercised GREAT restraint! I mean…a $2 shirt?! a $4 pair of super cute Bermuda shorts?! I almost bought them for her…as a reward. But I left it there, as a marker for potential WINE members shopping the discount section of Target. They, too, can resist the need for seizing a bargain, tucking that money away for the "Two Buck Chuck".

Way to go Jen! You're an inspiration, a trendsetter, the wind beneath our collectively poor wings! ;)

A new addition to the afternoon W.I.N.E. and playdates...

I LOVE THIS WINE! Haven't had any and I honestly don't know that I care. I'll be bringing a bottle to the next W.I.N.E. event. If it tastes like ass....

you can "bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch and BITCH SOME MORE!" LOL
