Ok…truthfully…I only knew the answer to #1!  I’m not a sports fan, so any sport related questions are always met with the “I don’t know/don’t care”….statement!

Sooo….the other day my girlfriend, who will remain nameless in this post, needed to dress up fancy for her holiday party.  Yes…yes…a holiday party in January.  Anyway…she didn’t want to wear anything formal and came up with the idea she’d dress up as this wild 80′s person just to throw everyone for a loop. heehee

Of course she came to me for ideas and inspiration (I mean who wouldn’t right? (wink) ) and I actually had plenty of 80′s stuff to offer her….Like Totally! And I’m talking plenty of Day Glow stuff here people!  Remember that crap?  So… there I was in my kitchen completely amazed at our creation she was modeling when I said out loud “You just need some Jelly shoes to complete your outfit!”

OK….raise your hand if you knew what “Jelly’s” were!  My girls gave me blank stares so I had to Google “Jelly Shoes”  just to show them what I was talking about!   I loved my Jelly’s…but I mostly remember how sweaty and dirty my feet would be after wearing them all day!  Talk about GROSS! I use to sport a pink and white pair.

Isn’t she pretty?   Love this sweet girl of mine….she’s growing so fast!! Almost a teenager…but not yet, thank goodness!!

I’m loving my break even though this is my last week. I have a few more personal projects to finish up, and since there is now snow on the ground I make no apologies for hibernating!

Here’s a few more of my Beauty Full girl!  yes…yes…I know….I have a thing for parking meters!! I just think they are cool!

All for now!

Personal projects are getting done, and I love that we have snow on the ground.  Now….if only I could get the snow blower to work!  hmmmm…….

Lets rewind just a bit back to November when me and Mallory were in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Mallory LOVES Old Town, so of course that was on our list of things to do.  She’s just a shopper and was on the prowl for a new purse. Lucky for me she did find one in the 8th shop we visited. Otherwise…. she would have kept whining and whining and looking and looking!

Have a great Friday!

All for now!

Hey.Hey.Hey.

It’s Tuesday so lets play some Trivia! But…not just any trivia….80′s trivia!

1. Name the singer who went to the top of the charts with “Toy Soldiers,” and had minor hits with “More Than You Know” and I Feel the Earth Move.”

2. What big-haired frontman had his first solo hit in 1985 with a cover of a popular Beach Boys song?

3. Although The Firm put John Grisham on the map in 1991, his first book was published in 1989. Name his debut novel.

Well…I personally have no idea what the answer to #3 is!

So…Mallory started collecting Magic cards in early 2011 and that brought back the memory of my friends collecting and trading Garbage Pail Kids cards.  Remember them?  Really….I was never a card collector and just to put it out there….my mother would NEVER. EVER.  spend her hard earned cash on something as lame as Garbage Pail Kids!!  Some of these cards were really gross….but mostly they were just bizarre and I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that this was cool!  Talk about marching to the beat of my own drum at the age of 9!  (Insert Aersenio Hall Roo! Roo! Roo!) Walk away from the Garbage Pail Kids!

For your viewing pleasure I found a few card illustrations online. (wink)

Answers:

1.Martika  (I LOVED that song Toy Soldiers…and remember she was also on Kids Incorporated too?)

2. David Lee Roth (“California Girls”)

3. A Time to Kill   (I couldn’t name that book to save my life!….WHATEVER!)

Have a great day!

All for now!

Ok…this lack of snow is really throwing me for a loop. We are suppose to be hibernating right?  Not taking bike rides at the beginning of January?  This warm weather is  wonderful and makes me feel like I’m right back in ABQ!

Speaking of ABQ….I have some more happy snaps to share with you from my November trip.

On a windy morning, I took Mallory to the Petroglyph National Monument.  This place was literally in my in-laws back yard when they lived in ABQ and I had taken the girls there a few times before when they were much younger, but since we were in a desert climate and rattlesnakes are very common, I found it hard to keep two rambunctious  little people on the trails and off the rocks and feared they just might corner a snake and it would strike!  So it had been awhile….so long in fact, Mallory didn’t even remember being there!  Whatever KID!!   Needless to say, we had a great time together.

On to the photos….

All for now!
