Cowboy Culture

What's more American than cowboys?

sitting around the campfire

Singing about how great a country we have

 How our carousel horses go right to left, 

not just any clown can be a cowboy

it takes a special kind to do it

A-Bear-icana

The 4th of July is coming up,  you know what that means...

that's right!

Patriotic Teddy bears!

what better way to show your love for a country than by making a teddy bear out of it's flag!

Show that proud to be an American spirit!

I love America too, little bear!  

 no greater sign of love than a patriotic lady liberty display

Now that's what I'm talking about!

So Clean You Could Eat Off It

Man, they really do make commemorative plates for everything.

These Were a Few of Her Favorite Things...

 I have 3 sisters, one that is about a decade older, one about a decade younger and one that is only 2 years older, 

The perfect age for both common ground and rivalry, 

anyway since she was older she had to be cooler, right?

I thought so, at least usually...I mean, she was still a girl after all

Moving on...

 One of my earliest memories of her being cool was when she memorized Dr Seuss, probably for school

She Knew the Sneetches by heart

and there was that time when she was in high school  before I was and had to get up earlier and discovered the awesomeness of ...

 I really liked that she wasn't too cool to like kid stuff

Ohh, ok, this one I just couldn't  get into, no matter how hard I tried,

Pure pre-teen girl drivel, especially the TV show, (and I could even sit through Charles in Charge)

and lastly I have here one of her all time favorite movies, she would watch it nearly every week

after years of looking, I finally found her a copy on DVD, I got it for her birthday last year,  these memories are what she gets this year

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Kitchen Wars

Name 2 things that cant (or shouldn't) be meshed, 

lets try 

Star Wars and Cooking

OK, first of all, you have no imagination 

 it would be awesome, 

and secondly it has been done (awesomely I might add)  by highbrow company William Sonnoma  

check out their whole line here

Here are some things I've come across with varying degrees of awesomeness 

 A plastic bust of Darth Vader

  actually not a bad replica (if not that kitchen-y)

but wait, there's more....

not particularly useful, but better than a cardboard box

 it's also a storage container for cereal

Here we have the absolute best slurpee cup ever, 

Ever!

  

now I just need to re-design the cup holders

 Finally, the most awe inspiring, beautiful, breathtaking, impressive, magnificent, majestic, mind blowing, perfect, wonderful (ran out of synonyms) cookbook in the universe:

 

Featuring such favorites as Han-Burgers, Hoth Chocolate, and Boba Fett-uccine 

What unlikely blends have you come across,

please tell me in the comments

Fathers Day Gift Tips

Fathers Day is only 2 days away, and if you're like most people you haven't even thought about decided what to get dear old dad so I thought, since I have one, (and I'm a dad myself)  I'd chime in with 4 things to remember.

1. Remember that dad is a kid at heart.

So he should totally love his own dollar store teddy bear

2. Dad likes things that can do more than one thing.

"Look dad, it's a lamp, and a coaster holder, and a duck!"

3.  Dads who are forced to dress up for work love to show their individuality through ties.

"My dad thinks it's still the  70's"

"My dad misses Apple 2"

And Finally 

 4. Dad's like when you know what they are interested in.

"look daddy, I made it super pretty, just for you"

Really?

 

There are some evil old people out there, but this takes the cake

Mistakes of Our Past

There are things that I don't think people will ever understand, one of these things is old fashion trends 

for example...

Applique sweaters

Lacy clown collars for formal dresses

(?)

Knit "most-embarrassing-thing-my-grandma-ever-made-that-I-had-to-wear-in-public" T-shirt Yokes

(?!)

I-spent-the-least-amount-of-time-possible-crocheting-this vests

that is one hot potato sack

??? The ultimate in fashion fun! ???

wow! that is fun
