But hey! Guess who decorates her igloo looks like this…..??
Yep, Big Kid Jannie!!
Took me over 40 hours to “win” coins and decorate my igloo like. Ahh yes, summer 2009 — when I temporarily went insane and joined Kelly in the Club Penguin craze.
So friends, you can imagine that while our Real House kinda looks like this…
and this….
(the 2 above of the room that once looked like this like this …)
and…
our Final Living Room (up over our new garage) looks like this…
this…
and this…
and the view from our front door looks like this…
… I’ve always got my igloo haven to run to for sanity!
Actually, I’m no longer a CP member — but I could renew any minute to find my igloo with every last palm-treed pixel in place!! I could even pile 100 giant speakers to my little respite if I were so inclined. Or 37 TVs!!! How’s that for some life control!! And all for only $5.95 a month!! No contract required.
How would YOU (do you?) decorate YOUR igloo??
Have you ever played computer games with your kid?
The above I took with my iPhone Monday on our Hike ‘N Bike trail. Something’s putting out blossoms, not sure what, but its puffy white sweetlings sure are nice to behold.
(Notice the city across the way? That’s the Lamar Street bridge too. )
And sweet friends, thanks so so much for “baring wit me” as I start to occasionally close comments. This is really freeing me up to create wild new posts for you — ones you CAN comment on. Like the one I’ll post tomorrow! (And the one 2 days ago. Wait. Was the one 2 days ago wild? I can’t remember back that far.) Plus, I’ve got more time now to get around and read your wonderful blogs!
THANK YOU for sticking with me! I love you all SO SO MUCH!!!!!

P.S. To see more photos of the beautiful Austin Ladybird Lake Trail, I posted some of my pix on it several months ago — ‘way back in the ancient days when my blog photos were a mere 500px wide.
Kids are such wonderful natural artists! And can be pretty prolific when given full reign to create whatever, whenever.
But if you save all their masterpieces, how do you organize them?
Anybody have any ideas for sorting / storing and / or displaying kids’ art?? And school papers? Oh, so very many school work papers since our little angel first entered the halls of academia at age 2. So much stuff collected over the years, I’m not sure what to do with it.
About the 3 pix in this post… For Mothers’ Day when Kelly was four, her pre-school teachers gave each of us a little album of our darlings at work and play. Sweet, eh!?
Anyway, speaking of being transported… back to the Beauty Shop Cutie (Cutie Shop Beauty?) photo tweaking.
And now that edit!!!! “The REVEAL” because I know I’ve worked you too hard over this…
Crazy, eh?
But you know what’s REALLY crazy, ladies and gents?!? My photos are now Ludicrous Wide!! Yes indeed, I upped ‘em another 30px wide!
Isane!
(Whoops, I mean “insane”)
Just how much wilder can this blog get!?!?!
Next I’ll probably be putting up a photo of Kelly looking all Jason Vorhees in a mask she made from a paper napkin at a rib joint a few weeks ago!
But that’s a bit much. Sorry.
Here, let me help you recover from that mask pic with something calmer…
Sleeping angel, age 4.
Ahhhhh. There we go. All better now.
Have YOU ever “painted” anything out of any photos? Do you think it’s “cheating?” I don’t! I think it’s “Enhancing Viewer Pleasure!”
And if you don’t know how to, and want to “Paint” - it’s easy!! I stumbled onto it a few months ago, and taught myself as I went. (Note: I am not sure if MS Paint works on Mac computers, not a computer expert. But I CAN do the highland fling!)
And below — voilà in reverse!! Mustard stained shirt, little dirt on wall. Bits of lunch around her mouth.
Told you it was getting absolutely nuts around here!!!
Just a little song snippet from last summer at Mom & Dad’s cottage up there in Canada land. Still don’t know the horse’s name, but by any name he’d still be as wild and sweet. Let’s call him Bon Jovi! Wouldn’t mind being there at the cottage today, except it would be a tad chillier, like possibly -40. Actually, Mom says it’s been warm — just below freezing lately! She’s about ready to break out her bikini. And toss a smelt on the barbie.
How ’bout you! What would you be doing if summer magically appeared?
Late autumn benches, Austin Hike ‘N Bike Trail 2009.
A friend’s 1936 Ford, last November.
They loved me until they realized I didn’t have food.
And that earth-shattering poll (now slightly edited from its originally published form) for me and Blue Bunny to improve your Funsterment blogging experience…. hoo-whoo
