Happy LOVEY DAY

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better...~Dr. Seuss

Love GRANDE

Love is in the air.

I have been getting all my goodies in delivery position. All the glitter heart stickers have been added to large bars of chocolate=0)

 I LOVE VALENTINE'S DAY.

I love the flowers everywhere and the excuse to give everyone chocolate LOVE and you won't get the..."I can't".

OHHHH.... we can and we will this 14th.

Use up ALL those hearts. Throw them in the air...whatever=0P

XOXO,

Carol

My other job....

Me-I've got a lot of stuff planned for Valentine's Day.

X-Ummm....what day is that on exactly.

Me-The 14th is on a Friday.

X-That's pizza night.

Me-Pizza is cancelled. How about something like....KING crab legs, red potatoes AND chocolate fondue.

X-I guess that will be okay.

1...2..3...MOVE

Happy Friday=0)

Friends are a big part of my universe...if you haven't noticed. LOL.

You know all those inside jokes and just giving each other THE LOOK.

This week I was in bed and I woke up about four in the morning.

Boooo.

Anyways, this crazy memory popped into my head.

I burst out laughing!

My husband asked me if I was ok. LOL. I told him the crazy memory of one of my great friends that tickled a co-worker. Let me rewind a little. It was halloween and we were dressed up as hula girls. Our co-worker couldn't even look at us. He was not use to seeing girls with coconuts on. LOL.

SO....the funny part is that my friend tickled his sides and BOTH his knee caps crashed into the counter he was writing at. OMG...we all died laughing. He had to run outside because he couldn't control the laughter. So, that's what made me burst out laughing in the middle of the night. So crazy!

I then just started thinking about how many funny things we do at weddings...parties....etc.

This watercolor reminds me of all the crazy. LOL.

You can relate...right?

Have a great weekend,

Carol

My other job...

X-I don't feel so good.

Me-Oh no...you feel really hot. Lets go home and straight to bed.

X-This means I can't play minecraft today.

Me-Just relax in the car and we will see how you feel after you sleep a little.

X-OH MY GOSH...I'M GONNA DIE.

Me-What? No...you're just sick.

X-DO I HAVE CANCER MAMA?

Me-Okay...please just relax and lets not talk on the way home. Please don't think you are going to die. You just feel really yucky and your fever is really high.

X-This means J is going to get all your kisses today...WaaaaHHHHHH.

Me-I'll give you double as soon as you are better. Now p l e a s e  just relax quietly.

X-PLEASE just take me straight to the EMERGENCY ROOM.

Chill OUT

HOLA.

I'm hoping you had a great week. 

I just finished a new watercolor. I started doing yoga a few months ago... and you know what?

I feel as cool as a cucumber now=0)

Sometimes stress can get the best of us. YEP...me too!

Yoga has   r  e  a  l  l  y  helped me feel calmer.

I don't know what it is about it, but I know it just works.

LOL.

So...if you haven't tried it before...GET ON THE BUS.

I promise you will smile a lot more=0)

NAMASTE

Carol

My other job....

Me-Would you please go to bed already.

X-This is the only time I have to read.

Me-Come on...you were reading a lot after school.

X-Other stuff.

Me-I'll take that flash light...thank you.

X-I spent $20.00 on a book that my own mama won't let me read.

Me-Pick a better time. Your body needs to rest now.

X-UGH. TWENTY whole dollars.

Me-Tomorrow you can read to me 30 minutes before bed time.

X-REALLY?

Me-Yes.

X-I am such a problem solver.
Me-?

Ice cream break...HAPPY

HOLA...

I got inspired...again=0)

Music does this to me. I hear something and then quickly need to paint it on paper.

The song Happy by Pharrell made me think about a special moment with one of my greatest friends.

We went to NYC and decided to stop for an ice cream break.

We were so happy. It was just the two of us...being silly.

We need to do that again=0)

Hope this makes you wanna call up one of your friends.

SO good for the soul.

Have a great weekend,

Carol

My other job...

Me-You are off for FOUR days...YES.

X-What are we gonna do?

Me-I have no idea.

X-Unbelievable.

What's cook IN'

Happy New YEAR.

It's 2014...HOLY MOLY. How did we get here? LOL.

I'm wishing you all much LOVE and good health this year. I'm just barely recovering from all the holiday festivities and cooking...cooking...cooking. Usually I have two little helpers BUT, THEY'RE ON TO ME. Nobody wants to stick around for that long. HAhahahaa.

We were all so into FROZEN this year. The soundtrack is SO GOOD. Olaf the snowman stole my heart. The movie is SO wonderful.

Disney really did an excellent job and I can not wait until it comes out in dvd. We have already gone FOUR TIMES. There goes my Louis Vuitton wish jar. HA and WAHhhhhh.

I was inspired by all the singing and cooking in the kitchen.

Have a great day,

Carol

My other job....

X-Mama are you teaching art class tomorrow?

Me-YUP.

X-You sound just like Olaf.

Me-YUP;oP

X-What are we going to work on in class?

Me-It's a surprise.

X-Lets do faces.

Me-Ohhhh....well...that will probably happen towards the end of the year.

X-Why?

Me-It's more advanced and I need to get some of the kids more comfortable. Or at least not be as nervous to try it.

X-Like who?

Me-That's my personal private business=0)

X-I'm your assistant, so you can tell me AND I don't go around telling peoples personal private business.

Me-I appreciate that, but I'm going to keep it to myself. Now lets sing In summer by OLAF.

X-Jazz hands too.

Me-YUP.

The RUSH...

HOLA!

How is it that it's almost Christmas?

Okay...so we have plenty of holiday cheer...

cookies...

eggnog...

candies...

decorations...

BUT...I haven't gone shopping yet. I KNOW...I've been trying to catch up with everything around here and still no shopping. I did try for like....40 minutes yesterday=0) It's just so hard when things are flying off the shelves. OH BOY.

Anyways, *fingers crossed* that I get it done by tomorrow. The little ones will be home after that and that's a WHOLE other conversation=0) LOL.

I have finished up all the gifts for our wonderful teachers. THAT'S GOOD. Yay!

I do know a lot of people who are already done with everything and are just sippin' and waitin'

THAT'S ME NEXT YEAR;oP

I just wanted to wish you all HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Hope it's stress;o) FREE and just full of JOY.

XOXO,

Carol

My other job....

X-Make sure my list stays safe.

Me-I put it right here with TONs of tape.

X-I honestly don't think I'll get number 1-5, but I had to put it on my list.

Me-Really...you think #11 may be under the tree?

X-Well yeah... and the ninja mask.

Me-Hmmm....It will be interesting to see. I'm sure it can't be wrapped. Well...it would be tough.

X-Mama...it's an electric guitar...double necked.

Me- exactly....

X-What?

Me-Oh nothing...HOPE YOU GET IT=0P
