  1. In regards to yesterday’s post about Hawaii – make sure you go get a shave ice from Island Snow and then sit outside and watch the hookers! It was by far the cheapest and most fun we had when we were there! Really good for some belly laughs!

  2. I am impressed that you took the time to change an earring 10 times to take a pic! They are all cute. I would wear them all!
    Your fav smells though? Ammonia? Girl, you have issues! LOL

  3. Lori – I watched the Oahu dvd my parents sent me today, and while they mentioned Island Snow, they didn’t say anything about the hookers. Hmmm. Wonder why? 🙂
    Kay – I even took ALL those pictures myself! (Which is why some of them came out blurry. Heh.) And I can’t help it – ammonia just smells so clean to me!

  4. Lori – How do you know that’s not Robyn’s secret plan to make a little extra cash while in Hawaii? Hee.
    Fred, is this asinine enough for you?

  5. How’s The Crimson Petal and the White? It’s on my wish list, but I haven’t given in to temptatioon yet.

  6. I hope you have an easier time getting into The Time Traverler’s Wife than I did. My husband bought it for himself, but thought I would enjoy it. WRONG ANSWER. Way too much jumping from here to there and back. I would like to know what you think about it after you have read it.

  7. I find myself strangely attracted to your absolutely gigantic earlobes! Hee! The pics came up on my pc so large that your lobes were about two inches across.
    I am impressed with your earring collection-all very cute,sweet,and sassy!
    My fav pair WERE indeed the pair a “ten year old would choose.”

  8. Back to an earlier post about Mr. Beans tail. We have a cat that hasn’t a tail. She is what a friend of mine said is a Manx Cat. Well, Miss Molly Sue, (not to be confused with MollyAnn, the dog, the cat came already named) had a litter of kittens. We have two with full tails, one with no tail and one with a stubby tail. Which the kid named Tommy, but I have dubbed Tommy Stubbs. The one with no tail is Smudge, she looks like she has a smudge on her nose. Then there is Duke, (hubby named him) and Miss Pittypat, aka Pittycat.
    My animal population has grown. We still have Marie LeBeaux (the Queen of all CATS and animals, at least here), MollyAnn and Jolie Blone’ who has graced us with 8 puppies. One minature goat named Dory and a duck named Lucky. Lucky thinks he is married to the goat or a goat. He WILL NOT swim in the pond. Additionally, I have the hubby and the kiddo………..

  9. Time Traveler’s Wife rocked. We did it for my parents group book club a coworker had bought it for me for Xmas. I loved it. And because I am a loser I cried.

  10. For your “Ten things I can’t live with out” list, I thought the first one read: Bisex!!! I was like WHAAATTT!!! I need to get my mind out of the gutter!LOL!!
