Gettin' Geared Up, A quick lesson & Funny
Cason emailed me this today:
"I have a building bug in me and want to make/build something today when I get home!
What should I do, tonight, Love?"
~Cas
Then he sent me these pictures from Google Image:
Got any ideas what he's got up his sleeve?
:)
***sigh***
There are so many reason why I love this man.
But this email...
and this picture that I secretly snapped the other night, while I was
"working on vinyl orders"... hee hee
...Have to be in my top 10 for sure
:)

Oh... and to Miss "Anonymous" today...
(thank goodness I moderate comments, lol)
Please take a lesson from the smartest Thumper around :)
Excuse me, to the rest of you...
I just wanted to make sure she saw that... just in case her Momma never had a chance to teach her
:)
Don't think I'll ever "understand" nasty commenters... hmmm...
ANYWAY...
These always brighten my day :)
Take a stab at it. See if they work for you.
Yup... in the words of this guy...
"I don't care who ya'are... that there's FUNNY!"
:)
Wow, you are one lucky woman!!! My husband is SUPER handy around the house, but has a "bad attitude" most of the time when it comes to home improvement projects. Don't get me wrong, he does have many wonderful qualities, but initiating home project is NOT one of them LOL!!! Can't wait to see what ya'll come up with!
ReplyDeletePS - Boo to the nasty poster. I just don't get that either. At all.
Love those kids, what a crack up! I am craving to do some projects around my house...thanks for all the tutorials and awesome ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!! Every single part :)

-This has nothing to do with photography but it’s just too cute not to share!
ReplyDeleteHa! Loved the clips….made me LOL (it feels funny to type LOL not sure why)!
-Mean commenter’s are the pits! I’m with ya, not sure why they would even waste their time and energy.
-That’s awesome that your hubby get the itch to build stuff and helps around the house! My fiancée cleaned the kitchen last week without me asking him to help out. I was on could nine!
Kendra aka "Domestic Princess in Training"
Ha! Love those! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletewonderful... absolutely wonderful...
ReplyDeleteThose clips make me chuckle! Don't pay any attention to nasty comments, their just jealous! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for that first photo! That is EXACTLY what I've been envisioning for my family room's ceiling and now I have a picture to show the hubs! Good luck with what looks like cute panelling!
ReplyDeleteMean commenters will get theirs.. I'm a true believer in karma! I think you are awesome and I love your blog. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteUmm so needed that laugh!!! Thanks for sharing those. So loved the spanish vs spinach!!! Can't wait to see what your hubby has planned!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelley I needed a good laugh. I played the first one for the boys like 6x so they could see it too... Love the kids face!

ReplyDeleteSorry about the nasty commenter...love your response to it! Great post all around!
I love your reading your blog... the nasty commenter is just jealous!! Keep up the great work!!
ReplyDeleteThe laundry picture is priceless! He's a keeper fo' sho'!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the nasty commenter but I guess that's how you know you're succeeding- seems that every successful person has their hater(s). Congratulations on making your own dreams take wing!
I've been dreaming of clad-ding (is that a word?) one wall in our master bedroom in horizontal planks for YEARS. Every month SOMETHING comes up to steal my joy...I mean money...this month new tires for the van.
ReplyDeleteHere's the thing: if I have a beautiful bedroom, I'll never want to go anywhere, right? So tires - shmires, I say ;)
Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Hey! can you please, please, please show me exactly what "pimping out a kitchen aide" entails! I want to pimp mine out in a rotten, no good Halloween way :) I love, LOVE you blog. I decorated my house like yours this halloween season! Check it out.... www.thecharons.blogspot.com YOU ROCK! And for the nasty comment lady... tell her to take a leap, a flying one :)
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting! Can't wait! Ohhh and nasty comments stink but I am lovin' your great attitude!
ReplyDeleteLove those..so cute! I don't get it, it takes so much time and energy to be nasty..whatever..
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what Cason has up his sleeve ;)
Love it! Love all of it! -Love that your husband TOTALLY ROCKS, love the horizontal planks/panels(we're putting that in the entry of our new house. Giddy!), and I especially love how you reacted to Debbie-downer. Perfect. Mega props to you for having class and grace. I'm so wicked excited to see your new projects and Cason's handy work. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteWhatever Cason is thinking, tell him to build it at my house. Those pics are awesome. I wish you would post that nasty comment like the first hate mail you got. That was one of my favorite posts of all time!!!! Way to let anonymous know she was out of line!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Smithy-so sorry to hear about your crazy commenter. I don't know what it was, but who cares! I think you're amazing. I am cousin to Ronda B, your neighbor-right? and love to check out your blog as well as hers almost every day! You give me so many ideas and I can't wait to try some of them! Creating anything feeds my soul, but I do better when i can copy. There's more success! :) So thank you for letting me copy you!!!!! You're wonderful wonderful wonderful. Sometime I would like to take a road trip to good old Utah and see all the family up there! Maybe I could meet you. Thanks for the laughs by the way. Love the spanish/spinache one! -Kerrie
ReplyDeleteJealous! When I bring up home improvement my husband closes his eyes, raises his eyebrows and takes in an EXTRA deep breath.... WHATEVER! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so funny, thanks so much for sharing, Thumper said it best, and by all means hold on to your hubby he is a keeper, I have a keeper too, and they are few and far between. Can't wait to see what he comes up with!

I can't even imagine what nasty thing someone would come up to say to you! I get nothing but joy, laughs, and AMAZING ideas from your blog.
ReplyDeletePlease send Cason to my house if he has a building bug. I'm working on my bathroom transformation inspired by your little girl's bathroom. I'm exhausted! :) JK I can't wait to see what he does with his bug and those inspiration pictures!
How could anyone ever ever say anything awful about you!?! You are a adorable/creative/uber talented/soooo funny!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You do have a super wonderful hubby!
(but I think he is just as lucky to have you!)
Those commercials are hilarious. Hope you have a fun productive day!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to talk my husband into doing that wall treatment in a couple of our rooms and so far he isnt having it (crazy man) - but i ALWAYS get my way :)
ReplyDeleteBut good luck with yours - i have seen a few ways of doing that treatment - it will be a fun project for sure :)
"He was injured. Injured bad." Haha LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and does Cason have any single brothers by chance? ;)
Ya just can't please everyone can ya?! But I'm in LOVE with your site! I'm in love with the color choices u make, but have a random question. How do you make Christmas colors and fall colors work with it? I don't see pics of that and am dying to see how u would make it come together for the holidays. Thanks
ReplyDelete...he was injured...he was injured bad!!! HA! I had totally forgotten about that clip. I just wanna hug that lil boy ~ he's soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat lesson from Thumper ;) Apparently, "anonymous" didn't learn that lesson from her parents!! I don't tolerate rude people.
<3
Ohh! I can't wait to see all the things you have been up to!
ReplyDeleteOk...so seriously! I want you to Pimp my Kitchenaide! I have a baking blog and I think my pimp'd out mixer will get some major props! Um.. can I just tell you, I love your blog. I am a blog stocker (Probably shouldn't admit that :) Have a great one... Barb (P.S. Thanks for the preview)
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I LOVE your blog, and that I thought you handled that nasty comment with some serious class! Humor always softens things a bit. Wish my house looked like yours!
ReplyDeletehow could anybody be mean and nasty about you love the blog here in england, check every night while my daughter is doing homework. You know these meanies are just jealous of your fabulosity!!!
ReplyDeletelove colette
engalnd :)
I was laughing so hard at those kids..when I say I lol'ed...I actually mean it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteok so I see that you gave my friend IRL, Barb, a preview of the pimp'ed out Kitchen Aide... I wanna see too :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...that first little guy is the cutest thing ever! Thanks for brightening up my day.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOO! Those. are. too. funny! Laughing. so. hard.
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet and that was the cutest "comeback"...and so true! :) I LOVE your blog and all your craftiness {that you share fo-FREE!!} ;)
it is sad people write ugly things. I love your blog !
ReplyDeleteI hate for my hubby to do the clothes . I hate the way he folds !!!!!
Some people!!! I can't even think of a mean thing a person could say to you or your blog, seriously, yours in one of my top three favorite blogs to read. I am dying to see if you do anything with that horizontal wood paneling, I would love to do it but I am little scared it would look funny in a 90's suburb home??? And I am super curious as to how one might pimp out a kitchenAid...hmmm.
ReplyDeleteOMG- I'm DYING at those videos!!!!! Those kids are so stinkin' cute! And I had forgotten all about little Thumper- can't wait to introduce him to my baby James. And your hubby folding laundry- very sexy:)
ReplyDeleteAnd one more thing- who could possibly have anything nasty to say here?! I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteAww, what a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI just love this! First of that is my all time fav part of a movie and I have been known to do an imitation once in a while and those kids, precious. I needed the laugh!!! As for your husband, would he consider running a "real man camp"????? I'll send mine, laundry folding, building, cooking, dancing (I remember your old video) all the things all men should do!!! Thanks girl, lots of fun! And remember if they called you a giraffe would that make you one? No, ignore the nasties!
ReplyDeleteOM goodness . . . what an incredible husband. I love that he sent you those photos . . and I love a man who isn't afraid to do the laundry! I'm blessed with a laundry-lovin man. Can't wait to see some of your upcoming posts!
ReplyDeleteOh, he's definitely a keeper! We are planning on doing the boarded walls (what is that called?) in our little guys room soon so I hope you do a little tutorial!
ReplyDeleteSorry that someone left you a mean comment, what is wrong with some peeps?
Off to check out some more of your posts :)
Love the inspiration pics! I mentioned your blog in a post today. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good laugh...I'm laughing as I'm loading the kids up to get to school. Have a wonderful day!!!
ReplyDeleteYou married a good man!!! I knew him in kindergarten/first grade and may or may not have had a crush on him!!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and projects. And I love how you handled your rude anonymous poster. Somebody's gotta put them in their place, or at least teach them a lesson!!
LOVED that thumper video 'reminder.' how cute. I have to say the article you posted about how blogging comments hurt opened my eyes to why people are mean and rude in the comment section...it's all due to insecurity!! And I myself have felt those insecurities and as a result thought something less than sweet!! (though I'd never say it aloud!!). anyway, I LOVE your blog and the inspiration it gives me. Thanks so much for sharing your creative genius!!
