MM "PLAY"

Mo in his infinite power has chosen the word "PLAY" for this week. Well, you know what? I don't have time to PLAY because it's deadline week. I can't even catch up on blog reading. Google Reader says, "Move on it you've got over 150 posts to read! No one will read you if you don't read them."

ARGH!!!!! Don't argue with Google Reader! You can't win.

At least I can always PLAY with my Bose Wave Radio/CD player.
Like I always say, "A Bose for a Rose!" Tee hee hee!!

Don't forget to go see Mo and the MM blogroll
and
Mister Linky and all that cool stuff!

Hugs, happiness and Harmony,

Mo's MM "DOODLE"

So Mo wanted us to DOODLE today! I'm nearly at my wits end in learning new stuff so I went to Goggle images and grabbed this. I like it. But if you do DOODLE a cat Mo will donate 50 cents to a cat charity. Read below:

For our Doodle Week Manic Monday,

Mo is going to use it as a fun fund-raiser for the new charity,

Cat Friends Helping Friends

Lucy says, "Do the DOODLE and I won't hurt you." No guys....I have NO clue why she looks so grumpy!

Now wait wait wait....
you've all been waiting for my Mother's day pictures...I just KNOW you have!

It's the crowned princesses!
We all remembered our little tiaras that Sara got us last year.
(you can read that post by jumping into May '07 archives)
Four generations of fantastic females ranging from 21 to 90!
Ain't we sweet?

Look how high the river is! We had SO much rain.
The brunch was yummy and the company was silly as always!

Now back to Mo's word "DOODLE" Check this out!

THAT'S nearly impossible to read! Dagnabbit!
Well, it says "Oh, Mother, Mother.....

.....Thanks for birthing me! On the inside Sara DOODLED pictures of some of her favorite things. Nah....no raindrop on roses and whiskers on kittens.....but it's cute!

Mo's MM "FRESH"

High school kids and prom! Do you ever see anything more fresh and clean and downright good looking? I think one of them is Luke......bwahahahhaha can you figure it out? Nope-he won't look like me because I'm the evil step-mom! Bwahahhahhaha. But back around Christmas I shared a picture of Jeff. So make a guess!

So here is the group picture. Now look closely!!

Now the boys!

And the boys acting like boys.....

Beautiful girls probably wondering why boys act as they do!

Yup! This is Luke and his "friend" Kasi.

Nope y'all.....she hasn't a clue!

Pure t-r-o-u-b-l-e!!!

And he actually wonders if he is his? Bwhahaahaha!!!!!

Google Reader

I've been trying to get this thing loaded ALL morning. I don't even know if I'll like it but I've going to give it a try. There are several links that I can't load-including my own!

Bwahhahahaha~! Not a good sign, huh?

A dear friend told me that it has helped him get through his reading faster and thereby offers him the time to add more blogs to his list! Interested in checking it out? GOOGLE IT!

Hugs, Happiness and Harmony!

MM "Rip"

Tough word Mo!

Well I hooked up with some friends and we went to Women of Faith this past weekend. I wouldn't say it was a RIP off but man-these seats were so high!

This is me making my initial ascent. SCAREY!! Yeah...the face as well as the hike! Hang on tight baby! YIKES!!!

And this was our view...row "Q". I figured that meant queasy! We were the highest row. Someone said....oh look....you're closer to heaven! I said.....huh? Are those little ants on the stage?

Now let me tell you how four gals got ready with one bathroom and two hours. We ripped it up! We were like a fine tuned piece of machinery! I think we even amazed ourselves. Details? Nah....just suffice it to say....it can be done!
