Let's Start With Tall, Dark and Handsome & End With A Song

I might've had a good dream last night. It might've been retired Yellow Wiggle related. I debated whether or not I should just keep it all neat and tidy up in my head or share it with the world! I'm not gonna get too detailed here, cuz even in dreamland I tend to be a little G-rated. Or PG-13. Okay, maybe a little Lifetime Channel-rated. And if I got detailed here, you might be all, "That's it?!...That's all you've got?!" And it would burst my dreamy dreamland bubble. Plus I like the idea of leaving it up to your imagination. It's probably better than mine.

OR

I could totally be not telling the truth ("lying" is such a harsh word) and the dream was Awesome! (siiiiiigh...why oh, why oh, why must I wake up?!)

Let's just say the boy better never show up at my door and profess his love to me. His height and Australian accent alone would be nothing but t.r.o.u.b.l.e. Don't you do it, mister! I am a good girl. A GOOD GIRL. You hear me? (i love you)

Okay, so enough of that! How is everybody? Now leave a comment and tell me, cuz I'm seriously hearing crickets over here in the comment department. I know I need to leave some comments in a big way as well. So let's all work together, mmmk? I kid, I kid (I am so not kidding).

Anyhoo, onto some other stuff...So I hit the garage sale jackpot the other day! 2 lamp shades, a cute shelf, a folky pic, and little wooden village, all for the I-so-happy discounted price of $26! (i could cry)

And for more random bits of the past week, here's a pic of our first ever garden! I know it's no Better Homes and Gardens, but it's ours, all ours! And I vow to be all crazy garden girl next year and do better. I'll even have a plan. But I'm so excited I actually grew something!

I am excited for this bad boy!

This is what I hope will end up a big ol' beautiful pumpkin. Wish us luck!

This would be A-girl just a-swinging!

Another little pic out of our life this week--we had a cook out at Auntie's house the other night and grandma brought a little craft for the girls to work on. They were in pine cone/birdseed/peanut butter heaven!

This is another shocker for me...flowers! I'm usually very good about growing green leaves. Flowers are so much better!

And for more randomness, I thought it would be fun to show you what was in my purse. I'm thinking of making this a weekly blog event (?) as the turnover is huge in my purse and you just never know what's gonna be in there! You like my green ear plugs? I swear those aren't to drown out the kiddo noise (though I'm not hating that idea either)--they were left over from my big ol' 17-C (typed backwards) ride (A Plane, A Baby & Ear Muffs). See all the lip stuff? And the dog biscuit? Don't ask me. I think A-girl was involved though. See that cutsie pic of hubbs and I? That's like 11 yrs old. It was our 1st year anniversary pic. Don't we look like we're 12-yrs-old?

And one more thing! I can't talk about (my) retired Yellow Wiggle without mentioning my friend, Hill. So I wanted to dedicate this next bit to her as this post of hers-- A Great Childhood Love--reminded me of something I cherished from my childhood. And I never heard of Sneaky Snake, Hill, but I sure had that song in my head all day. Now here's a little something for you to have in your head all day. Can you say, Captain Kangaroo? Thank me later, y'all for bringing back the memories...

And a little Bill Cosby...

I loved Picture Pages. The song alone is very comforting. And don't you loooove Captain's jacket?

Thanks for staying with me during this (wild and) crazy (and pretty darn random if you ask me) post. You are still with me, right? Okay, you may now return to your regularly scheduled life.
