Brown

[after Snoopy blows a lone leaf into a pile of leaves that Charlie Brown has raked]

Thanks, old pal. 

The most famous Brown~ 

Charlie.

Charles.

Chuck.

The Chook Man. 

Time to dust off those old classics.

Brown isn't the dull color that many peeps take it for.

It's a very Luscious color,

with hidden jewel tones

like reds, ambers, golds.

Just like Autumn,

and October.

 I've always LoVed the jaunty cloche.
I've never worn them because of my hair.
I think I might just do it this year though!


These two pieces are just Splendid.


This piece is:
Heart~shaped
Vintage
Perfume carrier..
what is there NOT to LoVe!

 

and this... I just like this....a lot!

 It really has character.

ok, this is just funny..

This apron does two things: 
*reminds me of my grandmother
*makes me want to start 
cooking for the Holidays...
I've already picked out some new recipes. 

These two LoVeLies are 

perfect for those Holiday parties.

add Coffee brown eyeliner and light pink lipstick..

Splendid, Darling.

These Mary Janes would be great to have on those 
days of running around and errands.

Especially the extra running around that goes with Parties and Holidays.

I'm so over flip~flops and sandals, although they have their uses. 

My feet long for real shoes!

Pretty and practical, jeans or a dress... 

Classy.

Pigs in Space

You may, or may not have noticed,
I have a thing for The Muppets.
I am up to Season 3 in the dvd coLLection.
Pigs in Space is in my Top 3 fave Muppet acts.

The Muppet's never fail to put a smile on my face.

In honor of Sci fi month, they win today's spot of honor!

Penn & Teller ~ We Were There

 

The Turkish Mother totally scored on the present front 

by purchasing us tickets to Penn & Teller for Our 10th Anniversary gift.

Front AND Center.

I had my outfit picked out..two months ago!

This day in its self was a Holiday, 

one the Holiday HoHo queen was totally enjoying,

like Yulemas in May.

We relaxed, 

I did the most complete and total Goddess Beauty Ritual, I could do.

Even my hair cooperated! muah!

It was Fantastic.

Teller picked me to help with a simple trick. 

The Liquid~poured in Cone~turned to GLiTTeR bit.

I made Copper scoop the glitter up after the show! hahahahaha!

I did. 

Really.

Turned it into a Cheesy Tourist Gift and Souvenir! yep there's a post!

It was our last night in Vegas and this was the surprise in the LiTTLe Blue Box.

Priscilla says Hell Yeah.

hmmmmm, Muppettness

I need some MuPPeT fun...

hahahaha.......its stuck in your head now, isn't it???

Friday After Next

Had a not so great day? Holiday Hectic getting on Your nerves? Need a good laugh?

Definitely one for when the sugar plums are down for the night.

The third movie in the Friday series, in my humble onion, its the fuNNiest.
This time around, Craig and De De get caught up in Holiday Hi~jinks that find Them being robbed by Santa, Starting a new job, Tackling Thieves and Church Ladies, and of course, hook up with the Females. All on Christmas Eve!
In the end, there's Christmas Spirit for All! 


Top flight security of the world, craig.....

hold on wait a minute, put a little pimpin in it...

                 {check out katt williams comedy shows}

Make sure and leave Santa plenty of His favorite snacks from Holy Moly Donuts....He'll thank ya for it!
{minus the flies please}

It never fails to make me laugh.

Chanukah (Hanukkah) Song ~ Adam Sandler

Happy Song!

Happy Hanukkah.....

A Christmas Story

Aunt Clara had for years labored under the delusion that I was not only perpetually 4 years old, but also a girl.........

HAHAHAHAA!
Although My situation was a bit different; I was the one making the off the wall gifts for Family, like Colored Macaroni nOOdLe Necklaces and Potato Heads made from real potatoes and fruit pieces for the face!

I don't care how many years you've seen it,

it just isn't a traditional Yulemas without:

A Christmas Story.

It isn't.

There are so many quotes from this movie, You could have whole conversations through out the holidays just by saying Them!

*You'll Shoot Your Eye out!

*Triple Dog Dare You

*Oh, FFFUUUDDDGGGEEE!!!!

*He looks like a deranged Easter Bunny

*Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf. I hate meatloaf.

and who can forget ~

Naddafinga!

 

 I actually saw this movie in a THEATER!

yep, sure did.

Now We can watch in the comfort of Our Home, 

complete with Roasted Chestnuts and Hot CoCoa.

We've talked about doing Holiday traveling, which, honestly, I would love to do about every third year, but anyhoo, I would love to bring the Family up to the actual house. One lucky Family won a bid on ebay,

to spend Christmas EvE and Christmas Day in the house.

Awesome!

And here's just a little reminder:

When figuring out what kind of craftiness and gifts you'll be doing,

remember The Pink Bunny suit.

Ralphie: Hey Dad! I bet you never guess what I got you for Christmas!
The Old Man: [staring blissfully into space] A new furnace?
Ralphie: [chuckling] He he, that's a good one Dad!
Randy: [lauging] He he he!

ELviS and The Dearly Departed ~ Peggy Webb

Imagine Johnny Bravo's voice, in the body of a hound dog....
and you've got Elvis.
Reincarnate.

and then, there's The Valentine Cousins,
who make me long for that never goTTen SiSter, 
or the Cousin that I used to be close to.
Great book.
Shenanigans, Laughter, and the Occasional Opinion of one Hip Hound Dog.
"It was Huge, Tiny Elvis!"
Anything that involves Elvis, automatically gets a Gold Star from Me.


Peggy Webb is a new found, happy treat.
She is Now on My "I really really like this author" list...
Born and raised in the South, I can totally appreciate the comings and goings of 
Southern Living 
{NOT the magazine, although, I can totally appreciate that too!}, 
Southern Family, 
and 
Southern PaSSion.
Not to mention, But will! the Great fOOd and often Quirky pEEps.
Did I mention that Elvis is a major theme???


The first in this {hopefully long series} is now on the Special Shelf
in My house, where I kEEp all the Greats
{greats in my humble onion}
A great wEEkend Read or Take Along bOOk, 
tuck it into Your purse to sneak a few pages.........
or chapters.
I look forward to reading the Second bOOk in this Series:
Elvis and the Grateful Dead.


PS****
I just read Ms. Webb's website and Great News!
As it is there are already Five bOOks in progress, and Ms. Webb states
that it is an open ended series so there are many more Adventures to come
from Elvis and the Valentines!!!

Home for the Holidays

This Holiday classic was released in November 1995.









Directed by Jodie Foster, this movie stars Holly Hunter, Robert Downey, Jr., Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning, Geraldine Chaplin, 
Steve Guttenberg, Cynthia Stevenson

and Dylan McDermott.

All great actors, and the chemistry

for a wonderfully, quirky cast.

My second favorite Thanksgiving movie,

(Charlie Brown Thanksgiving wins by a few points simply for the

Vintage/I watched this as a kid~ factor)

 

It's one of those movies that follows 

the Time Line of My Life.

Single MoM, 

Single Guy, 

Gay best Friend (instead of brother,lol)

Crazy~ass, Chaotic Family get togethers

The whole atmosphere! It really feels like Thanksgiving!

 Who could forget this Outrageous scene?
