{Random Mess of Embracing, Melting and Ranting}

it's thursday, so we are embracing the camera over here today.

we are also embracing the air-conditioning. thank you dear Lord for a/c. seriously. 

there is a heat advisory going on all week, heat index could be 115*.

anyway, it's pretty obvious that my kids don't mind dorking out with me in photobooth, huh?

there is usually no arm-twisting for these pictures. 

if wyatt gets to open his mouth as wide as he can and make crazy faces he is happy.

and since i know someone is going to ask, these were all edited in picnik.

i like to fade them, make them black & white or add texture to give them
that old-school photobooth feel.

i heart picnik. i also heart real-life photobooths too but wish they would bring the old-school
ones back and keep the janky new-age ones for themselves, whoever they are.

and once again--why isn't picnik paying me to promote them? 

i need to write those folks an email, for real.

****

besides photoboothing it, we have been staying in this week and when we do have to get out we

 make a bee-line for the car/house/store/where ever we are going.

oh and just so you don't think i am a super wimp, one of the reasons it's really no fun 

going anywhere this week? this little beauty:

I love my 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer to pieces but she has no air conditioning, folks.

none. now i don't sound like such a baby, do i?

thank goodness her back window goes all the way down though or we would be hibernating for sure.

a man pulled up to me at a light last week (again) and asked what i had under the hood? what?!!

am i supposed to say a v8? am i giving a year here...what is my answer supposed to be?

another time in the grocery store parking lot, a guy asked if he could "take a look" and i (stupidly) 

started to open the door so he could look inside but he meant under the hood. 

am i supposed to just know these things?

i'm pretty sure he glared at me on that one.

yesterday we were at the mall and i was looking at shoes for the kids and i just have to ask--
why did i see the cutest little pair of shoes for charlotte with a wooden heel?
an actual heel, like a substantial too-tall-for-a-kid-heel.
for a four-year-old!
a four-year-old.
come on people, do we really have to do this?
this is the kind of stuff that can set me off on a serious rant but i will spare you all and quit now.
you're welcome.
well, hope everyone has a great day...it's thursday, tomorrow is friday...heyyyyyyyy.

i'm embracing the camera along with everyone else today, here::
