Hello Reader!
Just a quickie to let you know I am going to be updating my blog reader thingiemapoo on the left side of my blog. I will be removing some links and adding in new ones. So if you springboard from here to someone else's blog - ya might want to add it to your favorites because I can't guarantee your favorite link will be here when I get all done revamping.

Chewie went to homecoming. Not stag but with a girl. But it wasn't a date they say. I'll post some pictures later in the week. I have been working on these collages and much to my chagrin I had to do them all in Photoshop and despite what June and Joann think - my PS skills don't rock but my go-to photo program is not working so what is a gal to do?
Oh and by the by or Bye the Bye....I won blog of the week over at June's for my massacre of poor Hulk who was so humiliated he immediately went out shopping. Ok. I feel a tad guilty. Ok. Not really - after seeing those Hawaiian shirts the Hulkster was sporting I figured it was my duty. Anyways - back to the collages:
Nappy - the casual shots. Ignore that it says Jacob on the bottom - his name is Nappy....
Chewie - the casual shots. Same thing with his name...ignore the Benjamin thing. Did I mention that Ben er Chewie got a haircut for homecoming. He hasn't had one since these pictures were taken back in August. He was sportin' a nice Luke N Laura curly afro look and now he is all shorn. High and tight. 3510. And to my Mom: it wasn't my fault. I didn't even take him. This was his doing. Not mine.
I'll be posting a tour de Halloween this week. Come back won'tcha?

P.S.
Can we actually P.S in a blog? Anywho. P.S. When looking for that link about Mom and haircuts I did a blog search and man alive do I blog a lot about 'mom'....yesterday I missed her so much - she would have loved to have seen Chewie all spiffy for homecoming.
June over at Bye Bye, Pie! has asked for some help in the disrobing and subsequent rerobing of her friend and frequent commenter Hulk. It probably would be best for you to read her post first...I'll wait.
Hulk seems to enjoy his sportswear. When it comes to sportswear there really is only one sport and that is baseball and only one team: the White Sox.
Here we have the Hulk modeling the Shoeless Joe Jackson look. While some may find the look a little dated...I think it is timeless and being the man we all know Hulk is - he can pull it off.
As for dinner attire I would always recommend the classic tuxedo as modeled by the Hulk above. Additionally this look works well just in case he finds himself in need of invading a foreign country and/or the need to talk into a shoe phone. You just can't pull that off with jeans and a tee.
It is nice to know the Hulk attends church and has some goin' to meetin' clothes. However I think a man should try to differentiate himself while at church - currently Hulk could be mistaken for a Best Buy manager and not a faithful follower. In the above meetin' clothes no one would ever mistake Hulk's faith. Besides: Hasidic Hulk has a nice ring to it don'tcha think?
And while I was worried that maybe the Hulk wasn't Jewish and as not to offend anyone....Hulk can equally pull off the Dali Hulk look with ease. The nice thing about this outfit is that he can use it for church or any frat boy toga parties that may pop up. Being able to use all of your clothing articles for a variety of different occassions is paramount to being a saavy dresser in my opinion.
One thing Hulk did not share with us was his Victor's Secret lingerie items. And thank God too I might add. Here June and Hulk model the latest in Victor and Victoria's Not So Secrets. I can hear the marriage proposals coming in now for Hulk.
As you may recall I won honorable mention over at June's Bye Bye, Pie Bee Gee's photo contest. I am beyond thrilled with my Cupcake Frosting Floss and Lip Balm! As you can see I take my dental hygiene seriously despite the fact it looks like I am flippin' the world off - that is just the way I floss folks and you can see that it really works for me!
So thanks June for my prizes. And remember folks see your dentist twice a year, you might want to see him more often if you are flossing with Cupcake floss though.

So last night Simba caught a ride with us into Tampa for the Gospel meeting and while here she caught wind of my little project above. Can you believe the girl has NO idea who these guys were - before or after their feline facelifts. Tobey attempted to give her clues as I was calling out song titles and that was of little help as well.
Tobey signed the letter 'B' and then the letter 'G' and Simba answered: BeeJeez?? It sounded more like BuhJeez though which I thought was both hysterical and sad at the same time. I suppose I can't complain - she does know who Meat Loaf is and in the world of music that is all that really matters isn't it. Don't answer that.
Anyhoot.
June, or Dr. June as she is perferring to be called these days, is giving away a inflatable fruitcake to the first person who put her cat Henry onto Barry Gibb. Well not literally, photoshoppally that is. Be sure to see this version by another reader of hers - it is to die for funny. I would really love to win that fruitcake as I think it would make a lovely addition at my Christmas buffet. Well that really isn't the reason why I need that fruitcake. Joann over at the Laundry originally won the fruitcake and I think it would be a riot if I got it and if Joann and I ever do lunch....I'd bring that fruitcake to the Applebees and rub it in her face. Not literally of course. More like neener, neener. I know she really wants that fruitcake for her Christmas buffet too.
So I needed to send Dr. June my link and I couldn't find a way to contact her except through FaceBook. And shocked I was that her name actually isn't June. I have been reading her for close to two years and I never knew. But then again my last name isn't really Ohtobe so I guess we are even. Hopefully that person that dinged me once for using 'so' too many times isn't keeping track in this post. So. Anyways.
Hopefully I can keep Stayin' Alive here and win that fruitcake. I think it would be a Trajedy if I didn't. Maybe June will show me how Deep is Her Love for my picture and send me that fruitcake. I know that winning it will make me More Than a Woman and give me some serious Night Fever. So (ahem) go visit with June and Grease the wheels so I can win. And I ain't just Jive Talkin' here folks - I really want, need that dang fruitcake.

Gail and I skipped out of of work around lunch time and after a map snafu - namely me forgetting the map - we were on the road to Orlando. We arrived around around 3 and were starving. Our initial plan was to grab a bite to eat but since there was already a short line we grabbed some Starbucks and got in line. And we are glad we did. We were about 27th in line and the last ones to get seats when we were moved upstairs. Needless to say: the line grew quickly.
Yeah I know I am 6' tall but really? Could I look anymore GI-NOR-MOUS. I need a body spanx suit! But there we all three are - PW, Gail and me.
I think this is when Gail was telling PW that she has a brand new kitchen! Gail that is - not PW.
And this is where I yelled something about how Gail doesn't even cook. Heck, I even asked Gail if this was the first cookbook she ever owned.
Here is our new friend Jackie with PW.
And this is where we were yelling at Jackie to turn around so we could see her and get a good picture of her with the PW. There was lots of yelling, good natured yelling though.
We all fell in love with this little guy. His parents drove down from Jacksonville for the signing.
PW and her girls. Dang me for not bringing my zoom lens.
Gail and Jackie!
Mrs. Oh.
Babies were everywhere... 
And someone brought a huge inflatable horse...
Last night I received an email from Ree over at the Hotfessional saying she has deleted her blog for personal reasons and will not be blogging any more. I will miss her writings, her humor and her spot-on view of life. And while we have never met - I feel like a dear friend has moved away.
*sigh*
I am going to leave her link up on my blog list in the hopes that someday she changes her mind.
