Considering we have two boys, we don’t DO pink.
However, my sister and her husband went to Graceland a few years ago and took a picture of Elvis’ “pink” room, so luckily … I was saved from posting a picture of Pepto-Bismol. Actually, this room sort of looks like the inside of a Pepto-Bismol bottle.

One thing I’m NOT, is a foot person. I can’t stand feet. Even my boys’ cute little toesies. And especially now as they get older and take off their shoes.
Whoo! Pass the Lysol.
GD’s feet, on the left, are completely flat. He has to wear arch supports in his shoes. MK’s feet, on the right, have a very high arch. These boys are so different; it’s hard to believe they came from the same man.

This is an original business card I came up with for my blog. I haven’t ordered any yet - I’m still toying with the idea of even handing out blog cards at all. What about you? Would any of you hand out cards advertising your blog?

This is a real paper sign in my husband’s office. He works with some really mean people. No wonder he comes home grouchy and defensive. Wouldn’t you be defensive if you had to read this hostile sign everyday?
Okay, so I added the last part, but still! They’re mean, I tell ya!

A close up of my husband playing his guitar. He’s currently working very hard learning songs for his new band, Midnite Thunder. His first gig is coming up and he’s really getting nervous - he hasn’t played on stage since 1992.

This is my mom and it was taken last Christmas. She’s a huge Survivor fan and when she opened the gift from my dad and saw the Survivor DVDs … well, she was happy to say the least.
Actually, my mom is one of the happiest people I know.
(She’s probably going to kill me for posting this picture again).

Two of my best buds.
This was back when you could actually see their faces. I wish they would let me get their haircut that way again. *sigh* Perhaps someday.
These two boys each possess one half of my heart.

My husband, filing our paperwork. See how the papers are in nice neat (semi) rows? You could also count the CD’s behind him as being in rows, too.
Or not.

This was taken at the county fair last year.
My mom had just bought the boys some new sunglasses and they took a moment out of looking at exhibits to model their new funky eyewear. (I just noticed something. The boys’ sunglass lens match their shirts. DAMN. Am I good or what?!)
(My mom still has the tag on hers, lol)

This was an easy one. My mom is one of the most creative people I know.
Here’s a picture of a little rag doll she made. She has a craft blog if you’d like to read about her current projects. (Guess who made the blog header?) And if you’re a crafter, she’d love to hear from you!

See that tiny man standing in front of that tiny camper? That would be my husband and our camper. We got a kick out of how we were overshadowed by the other monster fifth wheel trailers on either side of us.
We look puny and pathetic compared to our camping neighbors, lol.

What boy doesn’t own a shiny shield?
(I like how the light bounces off the shield and underscores his eyes. And get a load of his expression - he’s in TOTAL warrior mode).

Well, I was hoping to post a before and after picture of my sons’ getting their long hair wacked off. But alas, when we went to the stylist they both changed their minds and just got trims instead. Bummer.
Oh well, static electricity is always good for a chuckle, or two.

No, these are not my shoes. No, I didn’t take this picture. No, I don’t know where I got this photo. No, I didn’t make them. I don’t know much, do I. lol
I thought I had saved the link somewhere, but I can’t find it. If anyone knows, please let me know!
At any rate, aren’t they cool? I’d love a pair in purple.

The boys used to be into sketching - they really liked anime characters. So, when we went on vacation to the beach in 2005, they took their sketch pads with them. When the hubs was waiting for me to get ready to go out, he sketched MK playing his Gameboy. Considering this man has never had any formal art training, I think he did pretty damn good.

When the hubs and I went on our tenth anniversary cruise to the Caribbean, my folks watched the boys. And they made these for us as a surprise when we got back. I treasure these reminders that our kids were once indeed small little dudes.

Can you guess who this is?
Yep. It’s the hubs. This was his first guitar and he was learning to play. Isn’t he cute?! The guitar is bigger than he is!
And this was just the tip of the iceberg. He went on to be a member of a popular local band, Exploit, and he’s currently writing his own music.

I love that room and now I’m thinking of doing something similar. I wish I could get my hands on that TV, too!
You know…I’ve been to Memphis several times but have only driven past Graceland - never have taken the tour. What a great room this is! Love that old television and the chairs look so comfy ;~)
Good choice, Karen!
Wow, that is really something!
ohhh thats neat pink room! happy weekend!
wow wow wow….that is one pink room for sure! eeekkkk
happy weekend!
