My Birthday/ Going Away Weekend

Bret Michaels 'Rock My World' Tour

Thank you Anette for surprising me with tickets to go see the Bret Michael's concert! It is good to know I am not the only one who obsessively watched 'The Rock of Love' Seasons on VH1.

Good Times!

My Not-so-Brilliant Plan

My pockets, like everyone elses' right now, are not very deep.

Being that I am moving and need to get a job within the first week of arriving to pay my May car payment; I decided, to list my overpriced legal textbook on Amazon. It sold.

It sold TONIGHT

My class ends in four weeks. ooops. Looks like all of tomorrow I will be doing homework...FOUR WEEKS worth.

Proof That My Child is a Hippy

SO this morning when I woke up my child, she popped out of bed really quick. Before I go any further with this story, you must know that 'Cierra' and 'quick' are two words that DO NOT naturally go together. She got dressed and gave me a big hug, "Happy Earth Day Mom".

On the way home she turned off the air conditioner and rolled the windows down...it was hot. Her reasoning: "It's Earth Day Mom, we have to save energy."

Bless!

Below is the link to Mariposa Gallery where my Earth child is pictured in the 'seen and be seen' section!

Facebook friend posted this on her profile... I couldn't resist a re-post to me bloggage! Sooo great! Enjoy man!

I'm The '8' You'd Marry

1. I don't really LOVE talking on the phone, actually I sort-of avoid it (unless you are in another State)

2. My favorite color is turquoise, though I don't wear it a lot.

3. I am a self-proclaimed reality t.v. junk-a-toid. (Brainless television is where it's at in my house.)

4. My favorite way to eat eggs is either poached or boiled (with a bread product of course)

5. I don't like milk chocolate, but LOVE dark chocolate.

6. The kitchen is my favorite room in the house.

7. I prefer white wine over red wine.

8. I am a product whore. (Hair and skin products)

9. I can't eat cake without milk or ice cream.

10. Fall is my favorite season.

11. I've never been to New York City

12. I have freckles.

13. I am the oldest of seven-ish. (One sister, Two brothers, One step-brother and Two step-sisters)

14. I am heavily tattooed and do not regret any of them.

15. I love my big friggin family and appreciate the imperfections.... We have lots of 'character'.

16. I collect camera necklaces.

17. I am personally pretty old-fashioned as far as 'roles' go in my relationships. I think if you keep em' fed, give him sex, make him laugh and do his laundry- he'll love you forever.

18. Coffee is my favorite food AND drink.

19. I'm not high maintenance, but know what I want.

20. I tend to 'Say It' when no-one else will. (This is a double-edged sword for me)

21. My favorite city is Brugge, Belgium (I could live there right off of the canal and be perfectly happy)

22. I like video games. (Even when I suck at them, I will talk smack anyway).

23. I adore knee socks. I wear them year-round. (Which is part of the reason I love fall so much)

24. I am drawn to people with a raw sense of humor. If you can laugh at my inappropriate comments, I will be your friend! (If you get offended...I will not be your friend, because I would be overcome with the need to bust your balls ALL THE TIME.)

25.I adore old men with beards...don't ask- I'ma weirdo.

26.If I had to choose between Thrift Shopping or Mall Shopping...I'd choose Thrift.

27.I LOVE camping and don't even mind smelling like smoke when I'm done.

28. I will pretty much always show up for free food or free beer

29. I am a damn good mom....strict but lovin' :)

30. I'm not a '10', but I'm the eight you'd marry (I clearly watch too much Millionaire Matchmaker)

April 'First Friday' Insanity

This is a completely delayed posting from Art Showage for April's First Friday. The night started at Mariposa Gallery where Rachael Popowcer was showing upstairs. I like to go to Mariposa Gallery early in the evening, rather than later because parking blows! While we were there, I picked up this nifty bracelet that matched my red shoes perfectly. (I'm not gonna lie... it TOTALLY made my night)

Picked up a mood ring for Cierra as well from the shop next door called 'Beeps'. She LOVED it. I forgot how entertaining a mood ring can be when you are young!

After Cierra and I were done in Snob Hill, we headed to the final show of the night.
Valency and Arianne's show at Harwood was called "Here and There". There were sooo many people- it was INSANOID.

I WANT

This is Meeeee with my newest big fat hippy purse with braided handles that I WANTED forever! I haven't carried a proper purse in ages. This purse makes me happy!

I WANT this in my house..when I get a house that is...

Bean Kid Art

Cierra did this art project for a little competition they are having at her afterschool program:

First to, Home Depot for 18" round wood cut.

Spray paint it metalic gold...it was SUPER windy.

Start gluing...for the record, Gorilla Glue is Evil.

Viola! Now to let the glue expand a bit and dry, dry, dry!

No Midterm Surprise

Totally didn't touch my midterm tonight.. I have until the 17th (Friday), I assume I will do it tomorrow at some point (Thursday).

My friend Anette called tonight to inform me that I am going to see Bret Michaels with her Saturday night. It is my going-away/ Birthday gift from her (and I don't even have to drive). Seeing as though 'Rock of Love Bus' just ended on VH1, and I religiously watched it... This will be a shit-ton of fun!

(BTW: Thanks Arianne for branding the phrase'shit-ton' into my permanent vocabulary)- lol. Now all I needa do is find a sitter! woo hoo.

Random.

Pet Peevage and Cleavage

The Cleavage Part

Today is Wednesday and I am quite glad it is the middle of the week.

Monday and Wednesday mornings (early) are my Drawing I courses with Rachael. This morning at class, the parking authority guy was standing outside the studio building, smoking a cigarette. He was starring at me cleavage the entire time I approached. He thought he was slick with his gay reflective Reno-911-cop-look-alike glasses. Funny. Whatever, I was a little late for class...so THAT was my reminder! The cleavage part of this blog wouldn't have been possible without it!Thank you gay reflective Reno-911-cop-look-alike-glasses!

The Pet Peevage Part

I had the pleasure of an early morning scruff with my ex-husband at 7am; That's always fun. It was nothing that was too day-threatening. It is actually what I expected when I told him I was finally moving... maybe this was a delayed reaction-WHO KNOWS.

One thing you must know about me is that I have VERY specific pet peeves. They are nothing too outlandish, but I do get aggravated VERY quickly when they are crossed.

I have THREE

1. If you say you will do something. Do it. Please don't oblige me with your words...if you have no intention of following through.

2. Do not hang up on me. It is rude.

3. Take responsibility for your actions, no matter what they may be.

Let's say that all three pet peeves were tramped on this morning...at 7 am....I didn't have nearly ENOUGH coffee in me. lol.

I have a midterm awaiting me once I get home today, but will gladly get it out of the way. I like midterms because they signify the downhill slope of a course.

le sigh

Naughty Sweet Potato

I found this sweet potatoe for sale on ebay. It was removed almost immediately. Maybe you aren't allowed to sell produce- who knows!

I must apoligize for my lack of nothing better to talk about lately. I am limbo before my move, hopelessly treading water for the next two weeks holdin' my breath to finally MOVE.

For any of you that have moved before, you know the span I am talking about...The 'hurry up and wait span'. I hate waiting-CLEARLY!

Trampoline Gamage

I jumped on the trampoline with Cierra for about thirty minutes today. We played a FUN game. We put a soccer ball on the trampoline and both jumped: The object of the game was NOT to get touched by the ball. If it touched you... you get one point. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game (i.e. You can no longer breath) is the LOOOOooser!

Happy Easter Potatoe

Logo in Progress

My Lumpy Potatoes logo is in progress. I have phototshop on my other laptop, so at some point this morning I will drag it out and create the magic.

How do you pictorially explain 'lumpy potatoes'? Any ideas?

Once I figure that out, I'll be set!

A Halfway Hike...

This morning, in my attempt to be more active (or something), I dragged Cierra with me for a hike to the bosque. For those of you not familiar with the Southwestern United States, bosque is the name for areas of forest found along the flood plains of stream and river banks in the southwestern United States. It derives its name from the Spanish word for woodlands.


Well, not even halfway there... Cierra had to pee.

Go figure...

Burnt Nuts

I tried to toast walnuts earlier today, but I ended up burning half of them. Oh Gawd. If this is any indication of my lovelife...I'm SCREWED.

I don't normally burn nuts... I SWEAR.
I salvaged some of them for a yogurt/fruit/honey and nut salad.

Lumpy Potatoes

After much deliberation, I have opened a blog for my newest start.

Welcome to Jennylynn's Lumpy Potatoes!

I re-opened Jennylynn's Burnt Toast for archival purposes only, because I can! I really need to work on being less impulsive-clearly! I don't ever remember being an impulsive person...how'd THAT happen?
