Fun on the Fourth!

I had a great 4th of July hanging out with friends and family, stuffing my face, and getting mauled by mosquitoes while taking pictures of fireworks. Here’s to hoping everyone’s was just as great!

Who could resist brownies with cookies baked inside?! Not me...

it was a family affair - everyone getting ready to watch the spectacle.

We even brought out the pony to join in the celebration!

We partied till the cows came home... literally!

Pat brought out his homemade motorbike

The kids were sitting patiently in anticipation

Ryan claps with glee as the first firecrackers go off!

Sparkler time!

My first firework shot, looks like fire across the sky

Sparks shoot across the sky

A rogue firework lands in the cow pasture

Running away from fireworks that went off too early

Some squiggly unique fireworks

Now that's what i'm talking about!

My favorite one from the night

4th of July, fireworks

Diaper Wipe Covers

I’m not a mommy blogger, or mom, but my sis-in-law just sent me pictures of these neat little baby wipe and diaper cases she sewed and I thought they were ADORABLE!. I told her she should offer them up for sale, but I wasn’t sure if there was any demand for them. Mommies, tell her what you think… Do you like um? Would you buy them? If there anything else that you might be interested in that look as cool as these? Or just let her know how cool they look (at least I think so):

Lots of colors to choose from

They hold diapers and wipes

I'm not sure if this is my fave or the green one?!

It's a wipe case that fits inside a diaper case...

Some Photos to Brighten your Day!

It’s that time of year where everyone is starting to suffer from the winter blues. Although I cannot magically make it warmer outside, I was hoping a few of these photos would bring a little sunshine into your offices or homes. Enjoy some beautiful flowers from my recent trip to Peru and the island of Taquile on Lake Titicaca:

gladiolas

orange flowers

yellow flowers

white and purple flowers

Hope that helped to brighten everyone’s day a little! Here’s to a short winter…

Let’s Play “Name that Gift”!

Alrighty folks, it’s the holiday favorite played ’round the world… It’s time to guess what’s in the box – NAME. THAT. PRESENT!

First person to get it right before 2010, I will hop on the next plane to your city, grab a taxi to your home, ring your doorbell, wait a second while you get your flipHD, proceed to do a jig, smile, and stand patiently as you point and laugh…

Bring it! :D

Name that gift...

Street Condoms

I just saw a man buy $45 worth of condoms from a street vendor. That would really disturb me if it weren’t for a fact that these condoms were HILARIOUS! I wish I could remember all the lines they came up with, but here’s the best I can do:

“OBAMA CONDOMS! For hard times!”
“Remember the election with your next erection”
“Obama condoms! The ultimate stimulus package!”
“McCain Condoms, they’re old, but not expired!”

There’s no doubt about it, I’m a Floridian.

So it dawned on me today that I will be headed up to New York City tomorrow. Now I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but Florida doesn’t have any real seasons. I mean we do but they consist of: Rainy, Muggy, Hot, and Hurricane. So I went in panic mode when I realized that in other parts of the country, it is actually COLD in December (who would’ve thunk it since it’s all of 78 degrees out here).I rumagged through my closet and found all of my cold weather gear:

Christa the Floridian

Is it sad that all my warm clothes are Peruvian souvenirs? Do you think I will stick out at all in NY?
