Easter, and Easter, and spring

LOL, family joke!  The roots of that joke actually began shortly before Christmas one year, as Mama was preparing to put out the decorations.  She named them off as she handed them to me, and as she handed me a spring-themed trio of items she muttered "...and Easter, and Easter, and spring."  Being a fairly young child, I remember thinking "Spring's too far away to look forward to."  And then in the blink of an eye it would be here, kinda like it was this year.  Anywho, the "Easter and Easter and spring" attitude fits my bow today, as it's more of a spring bow than one specifically for Easter.  Come to think of it, the butterfly bow was more for all of spring too.
This is NOT a JoJo bow, by the way; my Wal-Mart has a few knock-offs that are just as good as the brand-name bows, and because I've never been a brand snob I get the knock-offs just like the brand-names.  Because I like rhyming, I call these faux JoJo bows.  The color is what drew me in; it's that shade of pink that has a dab of orange in it.  Some folks call that color "salmon," some call it "peach," and some call it "apricot," but either way it's endeared itself to me.  Indeed, aside from green and blue, I think peach/salmon/apricot may be my favorite color.  It doesn't hurt that I love to eat salmon, and peaches, AND apricots, LOL.  Oddly, though I see a lot of things in this soft, springlike color during Easter, I almost never see it in the real world.  Hibiscus are sometimes this pretty peach color, as are roses, but that's about it.  Thus the flower-shaped sequins are fitting, even though they look more like your stereotypical daisies than hibiscus.

That concludes the week for me!  I have...nothing special planned for Easter, actually.  Just a typical Sunday:  sleep late, get up to help Mama feed my man-child of an uncle, maybe a short drive along the back roads, weather permitting, and then back home for a nice, long nap.  With a few variations here and there, those are my Sundays in a nutshell.  I need to get my rear back in church.

Happy Holy Saturday,

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

Image
For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
