Salty Mommy

imagine this is what i always looked like. Posted by Picasa

i went to the zoo today and i saw somw really cute baby tamarinds. they were born on 9.9 and they are twins (the info sign said the mom always has twins and the dad carries them on his back for the first 3 months of thier lives and then they are on thier own) the were like 2 inches long soo cute. another cool thing was the lemurs were getting treats when we went by them and they love grapes. also got to see the lion who was roaring like crazy and the camels who were very very stinky. somehow the tiger evaded us but we did get to see a volunteer sleeping at the drink stand by the tiger cage. the best part of the zoo is it is FREE - well a donation. the second best part is they need volunteers. so i am going to contact them and maybe spend some of my free time helping at the zoo. they also need ink cartridges that they recycle and get $$ for the zoo. so if you have any send them my way. thanks!

i am watching the tony danza show and he has john mcginley(from scrubs) who has a son with downsyndrome and yesterday was the NY City Buddywalk and Tony Danza went to the walk and it is all featured on his talk show this morning. So cool.

so i still cant believe how dead it is around here. summer seems to be long gone. i am still busy busy trying to put together some fall events for art & soul. other then that nothing new is going on this week. our friend jeff is coming to visit tomorrow so we are going to NY to pick him up tomorrow.

so today i had a lot of work to do so i headed over to big daves and got to hang out with jesse the cute dog while i worked. he is very needy and i finally decided to take him outside because i couldn't stand his whining for one more minute. well jesse doesnt like the hose there is a spray nozzle on it and it sprays in a straight stream and he goes crazy trying to attack the water. so we both got wet and i think jesse had a good time. he also got very muddy from rolling around in the dirt wet and then i had to spray him off and dry him off and take him inside. crazy dog.

maybe it is just the time of year but i feel like today i have been going going going. i have crossed almost everything off of my to do list. i still need to write thank you letters and create a couple of orders for art & soul and a few more things that will be put off until tomorrow. i got 2 bottles of bath wash from my mom from bath & body works. yum!! now all i want to do is go home and take a shower so i can smell like coconut lime verbeena (what is a verbeena) or warm vanilla suger. thanks mom. ok gotta pay bills and glue a picture frame then i can check 2 more things off of my to do list. man i love to make lists.

i watched the movie Carolina with Julia Stiles last night it was really cute. it made me think about my grandma and that i want to ask my dad to tell me all of her stories again because i dont know that much about her. what i do know is that i have the same moles on my chin that my grandma had and that she was a model when she was young and that she dies of alzheimers and i remember she smelled like cigarettes and wrigleys green gum. i am going to find out more for sure.

i love my fish mine is the red and white one. david's is the blue & purple one. so any ideas for a name are appreciated...and once i choose i will let you know. right now i just call them fishy fishy. i know i am a dork. oh well.

the clouds are taken from going over the bridge into the philly airport the others are from wildwood. our new friends alex & joanna from poland and amanduh of course from ca. i didnt get any pictures of winning my new fish. david won me 2 beta fishes by throwing a ping pong ball into a fish bowl they are still alive but remain nameless. david is probably going to name his reemus dude. but i dont know what i want to name mine. i will post pictures and then maybe my friends can help me. we are going to go shopping in atlantic city tomorrow tonight we have a fun time planned for dollar general and going over to visit davids mom and then dad or vice versa.

wildwood was fun i will post pictures tomorrow. we are closing up art & soul to go to play pool somewhere i have never been before. we ate chicken cheesesteaks for dinner. yum!

so my friend amanda is here and today we went to delaware shopping which means a ferry ride. she got to honk the horn. i got a cute dress and she got socks and a sweatshirt. then we came to art & soul and she painted a bowl while i boxed up stuff for shipping. now we are going to wildwood with a couple of girls from poland. it should be fun!

so today i was reading on msn about what is going on in New Orleans and it makes me sad. i dont have tv so i sit here and read about what is happening and today i have had a hard time focusing trying to see what updates have been posted to msn. so i am thankful for my connection with the outside world through the internet but it doesnt make it any easier to see the images and read the stories. american red cross relief

so ernie is helping me out tomorrow and i pretty much will have the day off. i have to go down before i open and unload the kiln because some people needed their pottery in a rush. but then i have big plans to work in my garden and clean out my shed and just organize and maybe even scrapbook. i am excited!
