Yup, I'm finally going to post my tag stuff. :o)
First off I've been tagged by Ann of Beadiful Things.
The rules of the game: list 6 weird things about yourself and then tag a further 6 bloggers (by going to their blog and telling them to check out your blog post related to this) to keep the momentum going. List your 6 tagged bloggers at the bottom of your post.
So...here they are:
1. I don't know how to ride a bike...um yeah, seriously!
2. I don't know how to whistle...yup once again, seriously!
3. I can't snap my fingers...I know, I know, I'm pretty pathetic. :oP
4. I have flat feet and spend most of my days wearing flip-flops even though I adore high heels. *sigh*
5. I like to play MMORPG's like Everquest(1 & 2) & World of Warcraft, though I stopped playing since having my twins. Um and yes, I did play Dungeons & Dragons(dice & all) when I was a kid...with the boys, teehee.
6. I used to love comic books(X-Men, Spiderman, Batman, Silver Surfer...) and still have 100+ boxed in my garage. I'm going to give them all to my son when he gets a little older. He already thinks I'm pretty cool....
Before I scare some of you off, you would really never know the last 2 if you met me. I'm very girly, stylish, like to shop, get coffee with the gals...all that stuff. That's why these are listed in the weird list after all. :o)
So the next person who's tagged me is Anjee of Baby Blubonnets Boutique. This is that useless info meme so I guess I have to share MORE useless info. :oP
The Rules:“Each person links to the person who tagged them. Then each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples’ sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.”
1. I never graduated from College. :o(
2. I used to want to be an archeaologist while in college.
3. I used to be a computer technical support analyst for Microsoft and Compaq.
4. I'm half Irish.
5. My nickname was Sparky in High School(a bit hyper maybe??)
6. My 1st stepfather worked for Disney when I was a kid living in CA & I got to go to Disneyland free ALL the time(ahhh, those were the days).
7. I used to love to fly in airplanes ever since I was a kid but after a very scary flying incident about 5 years ago, I'm now super-terrified to fly.
8. I like Thai iced tea(yummy!)
Okie dokie, now I'm going to "cheat"(hehe) and tag just 4 blog buddies and they can pick whichever list they would like to do. :o)
Drumroll please....
The Happy Cactus
Bone Marrow Pop~Tarts
Marvellous Mouse Designs
Pink Lemonade Boutique
I'll notify you gals later but right now I'm off to get ready for the "meet the teacher night" at my ds's new school. He starts on Monday. :o)

Fabulous Finds Friday
As some of you may know, I want to make peacocks the next big bird trend soooo I made my 1st Treasury on ETSY this morning called Pretty in Peacock. I've been trying to snag a Treasury for over a week now! It's harder than I thought. I finally got one today and now everyone's having trouble connecting to the ETSY Treasury. Figures! :oP
Here's a screenshot and link to the Treasury. Let me know what you think of my finds!
(if you can connect that is)
Btw if anyone knows how to get a good shot of the entire list let me know. I see people with Treasury pics on their blogs all the time so there must be some kind of secret that I just can't figure out!
Thanks for the comments about the momma cat & kittens. I looked for them today but couldn't see any sign. I'm really hoping they're ok. The good news is so far it seems to have stopped raining. I thought it was going to rain all day today but maybe we've gotten lucky. :o)
Bet your wondering about that tag I'm supposed to do? We're going out of town today for the weekend so it will just haveto wait until Monday. So sorry but I promise I'll get to it. Really I will!

Bleeding Heart
My heart is just sick right now! It's raining cats & dogs here today due to Tropical Depression Erin on the coast of TX and I mean it is POURING! So I'm upstairs hanging with the kiddos in the game room and I hear this strange sound...it sounds like a bird to me but there's something kind of plaintive about it. I get close to the window and really listen. That's when it dawns on me....THAT'S A KITTEN!!
So I shove my feet into some boots(unfortunately not rain boots *sigh*) plop a hat on my head, run downstairs, then outside and around to the side of our house(getting completely soaked I might add). There I see a soaking wet momma cat and 2 itty bitty kittens. Ok they looked more like drowned rats, the poor things. I don't know what that cat was thinking but they were in a terrible spot...no covering, a small lake fast filling up with more water and those cute little scraggly things were certainly going to drown if they stayed there much longer! So....I had to rescue them, right??
Of course this wild momma cat hisses and runs away as soon as I pick them up. So I get in the house, wrap them in a towel and dry them off, then run to the back and lay them outside under the covered patio in the towel so momma can hopefully hear them and come to the back too. I bring out some bowls of food & water for momma just in case. At this point the kittens are quiet since they're all dry, warm and safe now so I pick one up and have it "mew" for a little while hoping to coax the momma cat back. I finally just go inside and keep looking out the back patio door to see if they're ok. After about an hour I peek out and notice one of them is gone! Oh noooo!!!! I go outside and can't see it anywhere, or the momma cat for that matter. So I go back inside, since I need to get the girls sippy cups, and after a couple of minutes I check again only to see that the other kitten is gone! I run outside and I can see the momma carrying the baby kitten off in the distance along the top of a fence line. Mind you it is STILL a torrential down pour. My heart just drops! Those poor little kittens. :o(
I'm really having a hard time imagining they will be ok but I really do hope so! I was happy to see that the momma cat ate the food and drank some water so hopefully that will help her. I'm praying she found a dry place to keep them safe and warm until the rain passes. I was so close to taking the kittens back inside but was torn since I didn't want to seperate them from their momma. Of course my dh thinks I am a complete "bleeding heart" when it comes to animals and children and when I first called to tell him about the kittens he said, "so we've adopted 2 kittens now right?" Sheesh!
I was tagged the other day and was planning on posting my answers but that will have to wait till later when I calm down a bit.
So I'm curious dear readers, what would you have done??

FFF Challenge - Lip SMACKERS!
Amelia has issued her new 
Fashion Forward Friday Challenge this week - Lip SMACKERS! :o) The challenge is to show off my kisser(teehee) and blog about my fave lip color.
My fave lip color/gloss that I have in my bag is Burts Bee's Raisin Lip Shimmer. I love these, not only because they're all natural and good for you, but they taste and feel sooo wonderful! It seriously feels like a mini spa treatment for your lips every time you put it on. And you can put it on over & over & over...
Up next, this gloss in my bag is purely sweet indulgence on my part. I have the Creme Brulee flavor Tutti Dolci lip gloss from Bath & Body Works(they don't appear to sell these anymore). It's shimmery on and tastes soooo yummy BUT...get this...your NOT supposed to eat it! It even has a warning on the back of the tube. Sheesh! So why do they make it taste so darn good then?!!
And last but not least, "good ole" flavored Chapstick. I have the classic cherry flavor right now and keep it in my bathroom.
Mmmmm, I'm hungry now! I think I'm gonna go have a bowl of ice cream before bed. :D
