Michigan Adventure and a scarf, cause it's Michigan!

Yesterday we were at Michigan's largest amusement park, and honestly, I think it's Michigan's only amusement park, so it's kinda a shoe-in for largest.  Anyway... I, of course, was thinking of you yesterday and took a few pictures.  Now, of course, without my secret spy glasses (please send me a pair for Christmas!)

I could not get a lot of the pictures I know you would have loved to see... for example:

the man with the 1 giant dreadlock (it looked JUST like a coughed up hair ball!!)  coming off his chin!  It was HUGE and the Mister was all like "how does he eat with that thing?"  Well, we found out later when we saw it tucked into his shirt!  Although I wasn't able to take a picture of this dude, I did the research and this is a visual for you, pretend one of these dreads is hanging off a mans chin and you're got the mental picture:

The sexiness was EVERYWHERE yesterday. 

 There was the woman in the wave pool who had 1 side of her bikini top TOTALLY off of what it was suppose to cover.... HELLO!  The people that I'm positive were Edwards cousins (come on people, EDWARD from those vampire books: Twilight).  These WHITE people had NEVER seen the sun till yesterday, I took 10-15 pictures of them, but they were so clear they wouldn't even show up- weird, hun?

The men with pierced nipples, the crocs, the too small bikini's... it was a people-watchers paradise.

Since I do NOT have my secret spy glasses, you'll have to settle for these:

See how utterly GORGEOUS it was yesterday?  !

Lots of parents scream at their kids at amusement parks, that place was full of family love!

I handed the camera over to the Mister so he could take a ton of action shots of darling and I riding this super huge and scary baby coaster:

(we were in car #2...)

and that concludes our series of darling and I on the coaster.

Thanks honey!

Ok, I did get 1 weird picture.  See the girl in the yellow shirt with a kid handing down from her back?

I have NO idea what she was doing but she was dragging this thing around with that life guard dude, and that trash-sweeper dude.  We watched for a long time but never saw anyone giving it mouth-to-mouth or anything, so I think it was just a group of weird-o's.   See the nice man (below) on the right with his kid? He grabbed the kid by the shoulder and was like "don't you see that woman taking a picture of those weirdo's? stay out of her picture before I beat you!!" Parental love, it was ALL around!  Thanks nice man for only getting part of the way in my shot!!

All in all it was a great day even though on the way home I realized the ONLY ride I went on was the mini-baby coaster... Oh well!

Oh and Darling ate this yesterday:

1/2 cheese burger

1/2 order of fries

1/2 root beer float

(she and I split lunch)

1 blue gator-aid

1 bag mini cinnamon and sugar donuts

1 order deep fried crab cheese

1 deep fried egg roll.

Today she's eating only salad and fruit!!

and because I promised, my scarf:

How much do I love Debbie Stoller and her Stitch Nation?

Only 9 more rows on this baby!!

Have a great day!!

Friday!!

Wow,  how was that for a creative title? Nothing like stating the obvious!

So, I'm TRYING to drink more water... I'm someone that is rarely thirsty, I'm just not, I'm the camel girl of West Michigan.  I drink my cup of coffee in the morning and then don't really have another drink until I'm eating a meal- weird, I know! I've never had a big gulp, I gave up pop/soda years ago and with these invisalign braces I'm doing now, if I drink juice I have to floss and brush after, so...i don't!

To make a long story longer... I was sitting here drinking my glass of water, when the inevitable happened- I had to go to the bathroom and WHAT do I see when i go in there?  No, not the normal unflushed braggings of darling daughter, but this:

little clippings of BLACK hair on my hideous "mauve" countertop (NO, i did NOT pick it and hope to send it packing SOON!!)... Hmmmmm!???
I look IN the drawer...

and yes, we DO got2b playful!!
what is that below those headbands and that baggie of elastic ties next to the scissors?

HAIR!!!  BLACK HAIR!!  No??!!.... Darling??  Cutting her own hair??
I was just bragging recently that my child had NEVER cut her own hair... 
do you think she missed the hair-do of her toddlerhood?

Aren't those bangs the kind that would make Vidal Sassoon weep....?

  The fact that it's only about 20 tiny clips of hair, make me pretty sure I wouldn't have noticed if she hadn't left the evidence- she's going to have to cover her tracks better if she expects to get away with stuff like that- I was raised on Magnum PI and learned the way of the sleuth!

Ready for the granny square update?

  I know you're waiting on pins and needles...

Let's review:

this is last Friday:

this is THIS Friday! I've doubled my amount.  I also realized I didn't like the "baby yellow" that I used for the far right-middle row square.  I went back and got a golden rod color (can't remember the actual name) from the Debbie Stoller "Stitch Nation" line, I like it MUCH better!!

BOTH crochet headbands are IN the shop!! and more coming!

light lime green cotton

Lavender cotton yarn- both with glass beads sewn on!

Easter Banner still available finished or as a DIY kit!

and this guy?.... 

I don't know, he's just awesome!
