Friday It's the Holidays Mini Mish Mash Edition



When JB and kj got lost on their way to the Grand Canyon kj had a temper tantrum and ripped the map in a childish fit.

Who knew that the result would be a replica of Emily Rabbit's EARS?!




Credit Card(s). License. Bills for the Casino. I Phone. A Magic Pocket made by Lori that worked like a charm. (she has an etsy shop, ms. lori times five)


Isn't this kind of far to walk (or run) to a restroom?




I like to think of December as a Magical Season.


Are you knee-deep yet?

I am.

I thought I would have time this year to MAKE most or all of my presents for special people.

HAHAHAHAHA!

I haven't given up on baking cupcakes and sugar cookies and chocolate cakes and decorating each one individually.

Or painting at least one birdhouse and one of my father's old cigar boxes for at least a couple of special people.

Or of sharing meals with candlelight and chinese buffets with family and friends.

I haven't given up.

TICK TICK TICK TICK .

It's not much but it's what I have tonight: some photos to lighten the mood and change the subject.

Meanwhile, don't stress Jess. Hold on Don. Sing a carol, Harold. Smile Kyle. Don't holler Paula.

(Sorry, I need a little inspiration to keep the atmosphere light and easy for now.)





JB's Jewelry:
I keep thinking it would make a nice Holiday card





One of JB's bowls, which she is giving to no one as a present and isn't that totally silly on her part?





Want to say it with me? Pick the person or situation.


Okay now: Screw you!


Aaaah, that feels better. Now maybe I can say bless you too. :)





Ah Vermont.





Ah Vermont.






This is the proper Holiday attitude. In my dreams....



My mother's approach: "I just clean one wall at a time.
That's the way to do it: one wall at a time."





And I, Emily V.V. Rabbit who threw a tantrum on the living room floor until kj finally told me I could have the last word, am here to wish you:


PEAS ON EARTH


don't forget to kick your feet high in the air and cry and whine from your stomach if you need a quick way to feel better. and if things get really bad throw or bounce frozen peas and maybe even frozen artichoke hearts.
.
Can we lighten up?
Shouldn't we?
Let's.
.
Love
kj

  9. Good Morning KJ! Ah. my pc is up and running again....what a relief!
    (I KNOW you can relate!)

    Love this particular "Mish-Mash" edition.... that map!!! (Yes, I have been that angry..... but how wonderful the map "morphed" into "Emily Ears'!)

    Lori's magical (and practial) "Hold Everything" bag.... it's gorgeous and fun!

    That L-O-N-G hallway - leading to the bathroom! Reminds me of one of my offices at Macy*s..where we had TWO bathrooms for the men on our floor....and NONE for the women! (And women outnumbered the men 10-1!) We had to run up two flights of stairs - or run down two flights.... or...(as I often did).... just "crash" the Men's Room!

    JB's beautiful bowl.... having seen it in person and held it - I can attest to how GORGEOUS it is.....and she should keep it!

    Stella..... with her pink toy! That made me smile!

    Your wonderful and WISE Mum...what a treasure she is! And what a treasure YOU are.... such a loving daughter!

    Last.... that "Screw Room" sign..
    Mon Dieu! Is that the room where one finds all the appropriate "hardware".......a-ha-ha!

    Oh wait... I forgot the photo snd comment from EMILY!!!! My dear Wabbit.... I agwee totallwy....wight now, during Chwistmas-time... we all need to throw more peas and jump up and down! Toss the wrapping paper, the wibbons, the CUPCAKES!

    Love you all!!!!

    MUWAH!!

  13. Things are much calmer in our car these days now that we have a sat nav!! I asked Trev the other day if he doesn't miss the somewhat dramatic histrionics involved at times in my navigational style ... stunned silence ensued.

    Off to stock up on frozen peas. Good tip Emily. xx Jos
