What's in a Name?

Been seeing a lot about names in blog land lately. Name my baby, you named her what!?!?,maybe you should keep your maiden name- Jenny Denny (real person true name, I know her) Doesn't quite do it for me etc.

So today Lean and I plan on meeting her friend Danish (fake name, real boy) and his mom Cutie(fake name, real mom) at the spray park. We are going to meet his new baby brother. We get there, help them out of their car, I ask Danish what his brother's name is. He says "Marty McFly Julian Danish". I ask Cutie, "what did Danish say?"
answer 'Marty McFly Julian Danish". Okay.
I smile and look at Cutie. She smiles back and we go on. Normally I wouldn't give this a thought but this is Cutie and she was an art major- creative and such. That could really be his name.

I say to baby, "Hey Marty Mcfly" he gurgles and drools. No help there. We start eating lunch and I say, "What are you going to call him?" Cutie, "Well his grandpa calls him Marty McFly Julian, his daddy calls him Marty McFly, but I just like Marty"...UH-HUH... We chew on. Cutie and Danish are a bit eccentric so this isn't as surprising as you might think.

Keep chewing. "Did you really name him Marty McFly Julian Danish?" See here's where she could really have driven the nail in my Dork-o- meter. But she didn't, she's sweet like that (I would have had her going for quiite awhile I tell you).
Cutie, "It's just Julian".

But they really do call him Marty McFly. Do you think he'll grow up warped?

Party Using 'Product'

This party is a black, white,and pink scottie party. Sorry my camera's crappy, click to get a better view.

First pic shows cupcakes- these are fake, real ones wouldn't last around here long enough for me to take a pic (yeah, I'd be the one one shoving them in my mouth, what's your point) scottie is glued to a pink pixie stick then stuck in cupcake.


next up see the party table decorations


this is the place setting


these are autograph journals made by the guests (small one) the other is a journal- party- autograph -type thing for the birthday girl

There's more but you get the idea-and since 'product' is now paid for I'm no longer considered an extortionist getting free 'product'.
yea for me.

Take that you evil company

Keep On With Your Bad Self

Woke up this morning on a mission. Today I'm gonna look bad ashed. Slip into shower and shave all visible hairy surfaces ( sorry crap, the stache had to go).

Out of the shower into the grooming zone. I need extra time here. Mascara, eyeliner, base, powder and even,dare I tell you, shiny, kick ash lip color. Style my hair into a spiky, funky 80's do. Spray hub's aerosol deodorant all over pitt area- I deserve it- don't I?

Clothing: forgo the usual jean shorts & tie dye t-shirt combo. I need an edge here.
Black city shorts and tank. Top with groovy, olive, crinkly type shirt. Add rockin shark's tooth necklace and silly little sequined flip flops. Spike the hair some more.

Looking groomed,looking like a bad ash on a mission, looking good. Oh yeah

Ready to go on the mission.

No car keys--what?!!! I have to have my sweet ride take me on my mission. Search frantically, scour the garage, dig through the dog food- no keys but there's another toad--do they even eat dog food?

Hair do falls into a boring house wife do because of drizzling, this is Texas- rains every day.

Panic. Call hubs, screech into phone.... he's coming to bring me his spare.

I can still pull off this bad ash mission. Regroup

Spike the hair, check the mirror, yeah I wouldn't mess with that bad ash, stuck in the 80's crazy chick.

Drive. Exit car.

Throw open door of business, all eyes stare ( two people are present). Who is this bad ash?
"Can we help you?"

I'm here to pick up my party stuff.( such eloquent use of language- thanks)

"oh, didn't recognize you without my glasses" UH_HUH- I know its cause I'm looking groomed,confident and bad ashed. I turn to give a better view of my spiked hair.

"Oh, here it is, we liked it we just can't do it right now..yadda yadda yadda"

UH_HUH,what about the photos I sent?

"Here they are yadda yadda yadda"

Right, I don't want to leave you thinking I was trying to get free 'product' from you.

"Oh, no yadda yadda yadda"

Okay, that's fine but I want to pay for the 'product'. ( you see, I have granite counter tops)

" Oh, no yadda yadda yadda"

I thrust an envelope at them, they try to return it, I counter thrust and leave. Still looking edgy and in control, baby!

Return home. Don jean shorts and tie dye. Look in mirror.

Smile.

First Grounding

Long and boring, proceed with coffee

Yes, I had to do it. I had to ground Lean, for the very first time. I feel like a heel but I must follow through. She can't play with her friends ALL DAY LONG.

What was her heinous crime you ask? Succumbing to the "Christy Murphy" effect. You know the kid who smoothly got you to do something you shouldn't, escaping correction because she didn't actually do the alleged crime herself- she just convinced you to do it. UH--HUH "Christy Murphy", more on her powers of persuation later.

So Lean's "Christy Murphy" and another friend were over yesterday to play. I figure they will be okay without me hovering over their every move. Plus one of the girl's Dads was out next door mowing his acreage.

I foolishly watched some hidden camera type show that wasn't-- even-- funny. Poor judgement, I know. Lean comes in soaking wet. I say,"what's going on?" She say's "we played in the water". Fully clothed, without permission. She did this once before and "Christy Murphy" was sent home. Of course I go see if they are all wet. They are. Plus they have scattered wheat (I'm a farmer's daughter- more on that later) all over the garage and then watered it. I had already told her to leave the wheat alone. Don't mess with my wheat people, I mean children!

My mouth hangs open, "Christy Murphy" perks up and proudly says "I told her to do it!" I send the girls home and cram Lean in the tub. She's crying and miserable then I realize-DUH!, its the "Christy Murphy" effect. Yep, she was smoozed into mis behaviour. So I smoozed her into feeling better.

Don't get me wrong, I know she did some things she knew were wrong, she's no angel. But man-oh-man I know how you can be easily led astray like that. My little lamb's getting out in the world. Lucky for her I already battled the "Christy Murphy" effect. I'll help her learn too.
