..is it a sign?..

It took me forEVER to fall asleep last night. It was late (or maybe early) when I finally drifted off. Then J woke up, which woke me up... and neither of us could really sleep after that. We had to be up at 4:30 to get him off to work. So at 5:30 I tried to get some more sleep.. It was off and on. And now I'm up, and I feel horrible! My throat hurts, my nose is all stopped up, and I'm achy. I'm wondering if it's a sign because at 8:30 tomorrow morning, I have to report for..... jury duty :P

I don't know what to expect. I mean I've been inside a courtroom with a jury present.. I watch a lot of Law & Order and CSI. But I don't really think that counts as preparation, does it? :) Of course, there's the chance that I won't even get chosen. But then, there's the chance I might. Granted, it's county court, so it's not some big Supreme court case. I honestly wouldn't mind getting picked if I knew it would only last a day or two. But my luck it would go on for 3 weeks, and I'd have to stay in a hotel, and not allowed any phone calls or tv or *gasp* Internet!

Have any of you ever served on a jury? Got any pointers for me? :)

And you know me, if I don't have any pics to show you, I gotta throw in a LOLcat. This one about made me spit my coffee all over the computer screen.. :D

..i'm a barbie girl..

Ok, lemme give you a little backstory. I love Barbie. I've been collecting Barbies since I was born. And except for the few that played with, they are all in their original boxes in very good shape. I just love everything about her.. the gorgeous outfits, the accessories (oh the accessories), the Dream House! :D I just love her. And I love it when famous designers create Barbies. Like the fact that Linda Kyaw has designed an Aphrodite Barbie... be still my heart.

And then there's the Holiday Barbies. I started collecting them the first year they were put out, and I haven't stopped since. Just looooook at the 2009 Holiday Barbie in all her pinkness!

The next one really takes me back. She was one of my most favorite Barbies that I ever received when I was a little girl. She was just awesome... and now, she is being re-released! It's the 1980's Barbie and the Rockers doll! Rock on with your white pleather skirt!

And of course, there's her.. the newest Harley-Davidson Barbie..

Of course I have to have her because, well, I mean it's obvious :D Seriously, I could go into such debt just buying these gals.. and yes, I will be one of those mothers that will never, ever let her kids play with her collectible Barbies. Sorry kiddos :D

..happy june!..

It's that time!! Winner-choosin' time :D And I'm leaving all that up to Mr. Random. I would print them all out but with my new computer (and Vista, sheesh) my printer isn't working right. So, it's up to Mr. Random, and here's what he spit out out of 128 comments..

So if my counting's correct that means that comment #14 is Amanda! Congratulations Amanda, I will be emailing you in a few minutes, and I'll give ya a couple of days to get back to me :)

Thank you so much to everyone who entered. I am trying to go through and respond to each of the comments you made. Because I really, really do appreciate them. Even if you did only come visit because I'm giving stuff away! :D

Speaking of giving away, I'm about to head to Victoria's Secret. They are giving away a free pair of undies to the first 100 people who bring in this coupon. I'm getting a late start, but I just called mine and they said they still had some left. Too bad my hubby isn't home, I'd make him go with me and get a pair too. For me... not for him :D

If you didn't win a Bloom, there are three up for sale in my Etsy shop right now, and I have three more sets ready to make up. Hopefully they will be in the shop tonight or tomorrow.

Peace, love and koala fuzz y'all!

..time to say goodbye..

Well, the time has come.. my poor little desktop finally gave up the ghost. I knew it would happen eventually. I mean, it's almost 10 years old, and has had extensive "surgeries" and upgrades. But it has been an awesome computer, and I will miss it. So I have to get a new one.. and that means I'm having to borrow the hubbo's laptop when he's not using it.. ack. But at least he's nice about sharing and not being stingy. He even sat down next to me on the couch just now and said, "Here you go, you can check your Reader." Lol, good man :)

And now I leave you with LOLcats.. because they make me laugh.. a lot :)
