3) the night it was announced pete rose was kicked out of the hall of fame he was at the studio
scheduled to sell baseball cards or something ... the building was swarmed with t.v reporters .. i was pulling clothes for a fashion show in the warehouse.. & was totally clueless as to what was up .. a camera man handed me a baseball & said go get his autograph.. & i did !!
i waited outside the BATHROOM for him & asked as he walked out ..!!
oh & yes he gave me it

4) my full name is sara-margaret mary but i have always been called maggie ... so since i have the perfect christen name last may i decided to become ordained.. so i am .. from the universal life church .........

** i thought i was normal ***

so the other day at the grocery store i was standing staring at
an end cap of holiday candy..

staring at candy..
my son is standing next to me ..
staring at me ..staring at the candy ..
i see bags of hershey kisses ..
candy cane kisses .. white chocolate kisses..
but nope they didn't have it ..
colman says whatcha looking for
so i tell him
" the other day when i was searching marshmallows on ebay a bag of
limited edition hershey kisses marshmallows popped up "

** the furry red lobster ***

introducing .......

~ latte ~
our extremely long-haired rescue guinea pig
( yes you can adopt guinea pigs )

isn't he adorable?
( just click photo for a closeup )
he is about 3 years old
we have had him since last year christmas time
a good thing about adopting is not just rescuing & that good feeling of saving a sweet thing..
BUT
is the bonus of getting an older piggie..
they don't bite or nibble..
they love hugs..

i LOVE guinea pigs ..

well this weekend at target all the costumes were 90% off..
so we picked up this little teeny tiny lobster costume for him...

i know
perfect fit!!
