where our wasted time becomes your wasted time
Roly-poly Dr. Scholl-ys,
fifteen bucks at Wally*Mart.
Put them on – take not one strolly;
three of them! That’s a good start.
Walk while shopping,
walk ’round town,
walk for groc’ries,
then sit down.
“Curvy shoes for better butt!“
Well, not mine, but then –
so what?
I’ve no need for better heiney –
cheapness is my love affair.
Rolly polly Dr. Scholl-ys,
twelve more times then
buck-a-wear.
Each year all the classes at St. John take turns decorating the cafeteria with art, and each year I remember to save art to put up for this purpose. Usually it’s not a big deal because our turn comes after our big Potato Bake dinner and we just move all the Mr. Potato Head decorations from the fellowship hall to the cafeteria – done and done.
Not this year. This year we got a different time slot and I totally forgot until we only had two days left to make something.
Panic!
I scavenged some paintings the children had done, and then we went into full-on elf mode. Crank out the art, children! (Well, actually a craft.)
We made some 3-D coffee filter flowers (not my invention). They have maximum impact for minimum effort. You staple 7-8 coffee filters together then paint them. We used liquid watercolors – a marvel of modern paint technology. (In a preschool room, regular in-the-pan watercolors exist for exactly one minute as separate colors, then they are all muddy.)
After they dry you crinkle and crimp (crimple?) the filters, starting with the top one and working your way down.
Keep going…..
Whew.
Staple to the top of a construction paper stem, add some leaves, and we. are. golden.
Magic moving picture ahead:
Happy Birthday to my sister, Keren! Woo-hoo!!
One of the signs of Spring is the scratch-scratch-scratching of Lloyd eating a can of frozen fruit cocktail. It’s been his treat of choice since …… forever, and I think it’s pretty funny because the energy he exerts scraping outweighs the calories in the fruit. It’s like a diet snack.
Well, no more.
Lauren: “Hey, is there another can?”
Lloyd: warily “Yes.”
Lauren: over her shoulder running to the basement “Cool. I gotta go get something.”
I actually wound up smashing a fair amount of the fruit, but the shaved fruit was pronounced delicious and effort-free by Lloyd.
Happy Thursday! Let’s have a little magic ’round here!
After watching ‘House’ last night, Lloyd zonked out on the couch and the internet died.
It was awful.
I tried restarting – nothing. I tried Lloyd’s computer – nothing. I tried Lloyd’s phone – nothing.
I curled up into a ball on the floor and waited until morning.
Now it’s two minutes before I have to leave the house and this is all I’ve got.
It is Charles’ birthday, though, so at least I got that up here.
Tell me something about your Tuesday. When I get home I have an enormous pile of books to move from upstairs to the basement. I bet you can’t top that.
I started to write a post last night, but the pictures are messed up. While Lloyd was working on fixing it, I wrote a lame Saturday one, and now it is GONE. Seriously, it’s as if I dreamed it. Let me go look some more.
Nope, gone. Strange.
Well, I was asking you what you are going to do with your Saturday. We are having a satellite dish installed (for television, not for spying, dang it) then we have a bunch of errands to do. I’m sure Lloyd will be thrilled about that.
You?
UPDATE: Lloyd just found it. It’s at laurenandlauren.com Something is happening while some ‘name server’ is doing something, blah blah blah.
