Why hello

This one's for you Annette. Because you asked for, and I quote, "more off the wall Beth stuff".

So do y'all remember my post Bathroom Art? If not please read it. Keep up with the program people. I think, looking back, that would have been more appropriately named "Bethroom Art" maybe. I digress. So anyways, Boi started a war recently with my hair art. I stepped into the shower blissfully unaware only to find the following words crudely shaped from my dew-dropped leftover locks:

"STOP WRITING WITH UR HAIR"

When I was finally able to pick my laughing form up from the bottom of the shower, I replied simply:

"NO"

To which he replied:

"SPOON"

and I with:

"FORK"
I wished here that I had had enough hair to write "LEADS TO FORKING" but I didn't so I just went with FORK because I knew Boi would understand.

As I'm writing this post, I just asked The Boi if there were any more words of wisdom that he imparted to me on our shower wall. He said no that for some reason after FORK, we haven't had as much hair left in the shower. To which I advised him, "...that's because I got my hair cut[very short]."

I tried taking pictures of each of the above hairarts for you, but the camera had trouble focusing on the leftover pieces of angelocks.

~On a completely separate note/story~

This past Saturday The Boi and I spent part of our Easter weekend with pyrospouse Gabe's family. We went to her brother (we're just going to name him...Doug) Doug's house to party.

We had great food and company. The children frolicked around gathering up Easter eggs full of happiness and joy...while the adults did grown-up things such as drink booze, play cards, and start fires.

As darkness gathered, we huddled near the bonfire; mainly for warmth, since we'd all beat each other down with water balloons...and when we ran out of balloons, resorted to drowning each other with the hose.

The hour got late, and someone (we'll just name her...Beth or as I rather refer to her: me) started seeing something creeping towards the edge of the group. She kept quiet about her find, thinking the small adorable critter would soon race back to the safety of the woods.

To her utter surprise, it came ever closer, and she could not longer contain herself. With childlike wonder she exclaimed, "Oh look you guys! It's a bunny. Look!! It's so close!"

A freak of nature who is never without a flashlight (we'll just name this person...Doug) quickly dashed my hopes to see an Easter bunny. Instead the creature was revealed as that of....

...

...

Doug's dog.

Maybe one day I'll live it down.

A bit of this, a bit of that

Hi readers :-)

No excuses. I've just ignored all of you for a bit. My bad. Thanks for loving me anyway!

I've decided to go on a diet. Yep, you heard me right. I'm keeping a food journal and everything. Y'all would be proud of me. So far I've been doing it for about a month and have lost 7 pounds. Of course, two of those pounds were in the last week. I had a little trouble focusing those first four or so weeks. You know how I am.

I can't wait for the 3rd annual Tribe beach trip! I even made a countdown:

Lately I've been spending a good bit of time outside with my mom and baby Gabe.





(Isn't he just adorable!? )


That is, until the ticks decided to take over. This last week, all I've had to do is put my pinky toe outside and one appears. Eeeeek! Creepers. So I'm back to my cave until fall.
