Dear So and So...w00t! edition

Dear Hubby,

Congrats on sewing on your next rank! Tech Sgt. The Man, it has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Hooray for pay raises!

Love Always and Forever, Kat

Dear Lady at School,

A crocheted white top with a white bra does not a real shirt make. At the primary school? Seriously?? Come on! Now I know that Brits and sun do not mix, but that is just wrong.

Pray for snow, Kat

PS- I didn't even mention the acid washed jean skirt with lace over lay. The 1980's called and they want their scrunchie and bad fashion back.

Dear Dude getting Chased by the Police,

Yeah, apparently when you take a roundabout at 50 mph, the cops seriously don't like it. Nevermind that it is the busiest roundabout in this area, but you almost lost control and apparently you did it all right in front of the cops. Smooth move, exlax.

HaHa, Kat

Dear NFAH,

I miss ya, man! Have fun in Oz.

TTFN, Kat

Dear Sun,

England is not made for your heat. Can we please go back to semi dreary days with a bit of rain? My garden need some water. Plus I don't have AC.

Burning, Kat

Happy Birthday Mom!

To the Crazy Woman Who Birthed Me,

I am so glad you were able to come and visit me for your birthday. This trip has been absolutely fantastic and I will never run out of blogging material because of it. I mean, you are the only one who could fart and Windsor Castle and only be slightly embarrassed and then laugh when I exposed your deed to the internet. Staying up until the wee hours of the morning with me either reading a book or us laughing or butts off trying to be quiet as to not wake the rest of the house. I love that you are not only my mom but my best friend. I can tell you anything and not worry about being judged. OK maybe a little, but I know you will always love me and support me no matter what. So in honor of your birthday here are a few of the important lessons I have learned from you.

1. Mom is always right.

2. Don't argue with Mom.

3. Even if you don't agree with Mom, just nod your head.

4. Farts are funny (especially at Windsor Castle).

5. I am predisposed to snorting when I laugh.

6. A good book is never a waste of time.

7. Even a trashy romance novel is acceptable reading material.

8. Never underestimate the power of a good belly laugh.

9. Sometimes it is best to just shut your mouth and go with the flow.

10. There can never be too many clocks in your house.

11. Bacon is a food group.

12. Tough love is often the best choice.

13. Animals are a never ending source of entertainment and love.

14. Kids do stupid things and it is ok to laugh at them.

15. Wear good shoes.

16. Don't worry about things.

17. When in doubt, have a chat with God.

18. You can never give your kids enough hugs and kisses.

19. Don't take yourself too seriously.

20. Mom is always right.

So Happy Birthday, Mom. I love you, you crazy wonderful woman.

Wordless Wednesday- Look Into My Eye

(err...I mean eyes...) (This is my mom's dog "Puppy")

RTT- I Believe That My Brains Are Scrambled

Tuesday!! It's my favorite day of the week again! Time for Random Tuesday Thoughts. This is where I take my scrambled brain and serve it up ala Kat to the interwebz. Oh and these are gonna be good ones folks. Head on over to Keely's place grab the button and play along!

So far we have been to Windsor Castle, Ely Cathedral, Norwich Castle, and the Norwich Cathedral. I am exhausted and I think my feet may soon fall off my body.

So we were driving back from Norwich yesterday and my mom said "What the Frankfurter!" I have now adopted this substitute for WTF. "Beans and Wieners!" also sounds like it can be a good exclamation. i.e. "Beans and Wieners, I forgot to feed the cat!" It also incorporates my love of encased meats.

You know what a really good feeling is? When you are going through a roundabout knowing you are most likely the only American driving there and there is a horn behind you and you KNOW it wasn't directed at you. Sweet vindication!!!

It has been HOT here, well hot for England. Like 80 degrees . I am about to melt not having AC. POW Sam Kitty is having to take up permanent residence in the bathroom because he will escape if we don't lock him up. Ok, so he is only in there a few hours in the afternoon while we cool off the house, but he has been quite surly to us due to his incarceration (not that that is anything new).

Captain Dumbass sent the girls a couple of stuffed animals from the Winter Olympics that are being held in Vancouver in 2010. KiKi named them "Yes" and "No" (No, was first, I think it is cause she hears that word the most).

DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR UMBRELLA STROLLER UNTIL YOUR CHILD CAN WALK A MILE AND NOT ASK TO BE CARRIED!! Seriously, my arms are like jelly. In Norwich yesterday we broke down and bought a new one.

I am not going ANYWHERE today. I am gonna sit on my badonkadonk and read and rest my feet. After climbing 900 year old spiral staircases, walking around 3 cathedrals, 2 castles, and the city streets of 3 cities my old dogs are barking!

OK I think I am done. Boy do I feel better.

Snippets

Guys, my parents are in town. That means one thing; I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.

So on Friday me, my mom, my dad and KiKi are in the car driving on base to the BX (it's like Wal-Mart for the military). We are potty training KiKi and she is wearing Dora underpants. Well I made the comment "KiKi, don't pee in your underpants, you don't want to pee on Dora." Then I hear my mom (who is in the front passenger seat) under her breath (where only I could hear) say "Yeah, cause if you pee on Dora she'll drown. Then Diego will come after you with a machete and then Boots will go all spider monkey on you. So, yeah it is just best not to pee on Dora" I have never laughed so hard in my life.

So I gave in and we got a Wii. My husband was playing Mario 3 and he yelled "Refuse to lose, Mario!" during level 6 (Ice World), when he was hell bent on Mario domination.

My mom farted in front of two of the ladies who answer questions at Windsor Castle as we were exiting the State Apartments. The Man asked if the carpet squeaked. She claims she is just old

so it happens. Whatev mom.

PS-Blogger's formating hates me again.

Slim line Coffee table from Dedon

Garden furniture with Style!

The pictured Slim line coffee table doesn't do it justice. The weaved fiber is made up of different sections which sadly don't come out in the picture.

The entire dedon Slim line range is full of the special weave and with so many copies of the shape the weave is what make this a top end designer iconic item that will last.
