Our newest homie...my friend is expecting and due in a month or so, she has this puppy and with 2 kids at home decided it was just too much and asked if we wanted him. Ian was thrilled. She named him Sunny, we aren't sure if we'll change his name or not. He's a chorkie (1/2 chihuahua and 1/2 yorkshire terrier).

He got his tiger cub badge....awards banquet. An eventful Saturday, baked a cake with his grandpa because he had to bake a cake with a male only, no female assistance, for the banquet which the cakes were also judged, he won for largest cake and won a fishing pole, I won a free hair cut for him at the local barber in a door prize, and the weather was CRAZY today with snow all day and crazy roads....what a Saturday...

LISTS, LISTS, LISTS - Hello, my name is Diana, and I'm a list maker...I make lists for everything...budgets, groceries, gifts, cards, to-do, goals, crafts, shopping, even as far as things I need to ask the doctor when I go. I am constantly making lists. The one that makes my family laugh is the grocery list, because sometimes I will forget the list at home, or I will have the list, but forget to use it....so they wonder why I bother...just my thing I guess. My youngest sister is a list-maker too. This is my new magnetic dry erase board - saving some trees and all y'all. Oh, the two blue-ish colored marble magnets, I made those! teehee. And the "got spam" sticker is from my trip to Hawaii this past summer, and the other thing is an invite to my friend's baby shower end of this month! Yay baby stuff...

M&M OCD - yep, I still do this. I've done it for years...when I have a regular size bag of M&Ms and a flat surface, I feel the urge to do this....line them up by color, though no particular order, but any broken or deformed pieces stay out of the line-up....then I eat the broken and deformed pieces first, then I eat the longest line down to where its even with the next longest line, then those 2 down to the next...etc etc until all the lines are the same length, then I eat from top to bottom until they are gone. Wierd, I know. I've only met 1 other person who does something very similar and consistently...no wonder we get along good, haha.

March 5, 2008 - Mt. Dew - Greenlabelart.com

Dad came by with this cool TIN Mt. Dew bottle, and I was looking on the site listed on the bottle - greenlabelart.com There are a few more I'd like to see in person...pics don't do them justice. If you click on the pic it will show you a larger version.

Funny, because I had a friend once tell me I'm "hippy-esque" and I asked what that means, and he said my demeanor, I'm laid back, I am a peaceful, pleasant person, I recycle and reuse (lol) and even my music is usually into that genre...so, ok, apparently that makes me a hippy-esque person? he said there's more to it than that, but that its a good thing....ok. lol.

Ian's new homies....my friend didn't want her fish anymore and she gave them to Ian. On this day while Ian was at school I set it all up so he could see them when he got home. He was so excited. There are 8 fish, and he named them...see a theme?...

Anakin, Luke, Leigha, Han, Obi-wan, Yoda..and the two bottom feeders are Darth Sidious and Darth Vader...

haha. My kid loves Star Wars.
