Michigan Fall, i love you!

ok, you know how i HATE the winter and that i am bitter because i didn't move to maui after college, but instead returned to the frozen tundra of michigan.  now that it is october, i've added the electric blanket, dug out my flannels and started planning for my hibernation, but what the what?!?! it has been GORGEOUS here in michigan, do you think she's trying to win me over?  for the past week and 1/2, it's been mid to upper 70's and full on hawaii sunshine!
michigan
(dear power lines, thank you for adding beauty to my shot)
 hawaii...see, hardly any difference AT ALL!
i have been enjoying it while i can

 ok, so i ran out of pink spray paint...see the red? guess what?! i can't find this spray paint anywhere and i'm thinking it is no longer available...
and by "enjoying" i mean burning a hole in the ozone with my spray paint!  come on back tomorrow and see what's going on with chinamommy!!

The Bachlorette recap & more...

Ok, i know it's Wed. & The Bachlorette was Monday but what can i say...? So they (Jillian, Ed, Reid, & Kiptyn) are in HAWAII, my favorite place on EARTH & they're on Maui- which i LOVE LOVE LOVE- darling daughter & i were scoping it out to see if we recognized anything & low & behold Jillian & Ed were on the same boat we took for Whale watching- The Trilogy (Hi Capt. Kevin... like he's reading this, duh!). So Ed has some catching up to do... he bring his parents to meet Jillian since he took off before the home town visits to go back to work but now has returned. Bet that was a hard sell: "hey Mom & Dad would you like to go to Maui & meet this chick I have the hots for? You'll do an hour at most & have the rest of the time to hang out in HAWAII?!!" Now, i don't get this whole "overnight drama" that occurred with Ed... Were they not feelin' each other or were they not "FEELIN" each other? Did Ed need a Viagra & an old fashioned claw-footed tub overlooking some Mountains? and... are those tubs full of water or do you just sit in them naked looking at mountains waiting for "something to happen"? (you know the commercial). AND is the overnight date to fool around & then pick? If so that totally grosses me out...
I would like to point out that while i liked the grey & yellow t-shirt style dress she was wearing on her date with Reid, it more than showed off the fact she was wearing a thong as she got on the helicopter! Am i the only one that noticed this? I have nothing against a thong, but the whole showing it off... seriously ladies? I realize in a t-shirt dress you're going to have some of that. I better move on before i start on my whole "what is up with girls in low rise jeans thinking they're plumbers!". Have i mentioned before i have a crush on Reid? I know i'm like totally "cougaring out" on that & like he wants a 40 year old, but i still find him enjoyable, not that i would enjoy him- i am happily married. So anyway he is just so cute & totally reminds me of Chandler from the show "Friends" mixed with my HS pal Kevin (not to be confused with Capt. Kevin of the Trilogy!). Reid doesn't confess his undying love & in the end get's the boot... I have a feeling this is not the last we see of Reid... hooked on a feelin' whoa, whoaaa..
Ok, my recap is boring me, so let's skip Kip- he doesn't float my boat anyway.
Yesterday i had an eye appt. at 1:15 in the afternoon (like it would be in the AM?!), i left late. It's at Costco, do i have my Costco card?- of course not. i call Costco to tell them i have an open head wound & this makes me stupid, they'll let me in but i am not allowed to buy anything... really? i call the mister to tell him to bring home a tool that will remove my head from my butt. As we are chatting on the phone i see the giant arrow on the back of a truck pointing left & the sign that reads "Right Lane CLOSED Ahead". Well, i'm going 57 MPH & i'm talking to mister & daughter is watching a "Brady Bunch" DVD in the backseat & Rush is on the radio & I have an open head wound... I NEED to go RIGHT!! I see it's the lane that's closed, but not the TURN lane so i get in the turn lane but realize it's the turn lane to turn into the gas station & i don't have time to stop!!! I figure i'll just stay in that lane that doesn't really exist all the way to the road where i have to turn right, so i'm driving in a lane i've just made up & men are filling pot holes on my left (hello it's MICHIGAN- the land of the giant pot holes!!) & i'm looking away from them saying "don't look at me, i have an open head wound & I know i shouldn't be driving in this pretend lane, but have you SEEN MY HEAD WOUND??" Don't worry when i said "oh this isn't a real lane" the mister & i hung up!
As we pull onto the road where Costco is i start yelling directions to darling daughter like we're going down in a burning plane: Get the DVD turned off, put it on the seat, remove all items from your carseat, when the car stops unhook your seat & unload as quickly as possible... i HATE being late, i really do! BUT... i think i am an adrenaline junkie! i am always pushing everything to the last second & arriving with sweat rings under my arms. maybe i should take up skydiving & get it out of my system?
I can't sew, so i bought these patterns off of etsy, i'm off to tear my hair out while trying to sew whilst i can't...
Happy Hump Day!
