Best quote about crocs.
Sadly from Gilbert Godfried on "I Love the New Millenium"
"Who wears plastic shoes? The only person who should wear plastic shoes is a freakin' Ken doll!"

Oh, how I hate Crocs.
Questions for Crocs wearers:
1. Don't they make your feet smell?
2. When they get wet and rub against your feet, don't they make blisters?
3. Why do people buy them for their kids? Should your children have quality shoes for well-supported foot growth?
4. Why, why God, why?

hope this works...

First video posting...ever.

Fireflies are magical. They remind me of fairies. One followed us in the house and was flying around the kitchen blinking and then it got lost. So then Cas said that we should just let Max take care of him. And i almost cried because killing a firefly is like pulling the wings off a fairy (those are my sister's words). So then I made him stand in the dark with me until we found him. And Cas caught him and tossed him outside.

as I wait till dusk...

I saw a firefliy the other morning in the daylight, as I was leaving for work.

This is what they look like:

Who new?

So these were at the house when we moved in...and I was like, ok whatever. I just figured it was like a cactus thing...then a week or so ago, something happened.

It grew this stalk thing in the middle of it.

And then it grew branches.....

And then those branches grew flowers....

What the crap?

And now it is oddly pretty. And quite fascinating.

What is this magical plant.

And this all happened in about a week.

Crazy Illinois wildlife.

The cutest kitties...

are mine.

They have arrived.

This week marks the beginning of firefly (lightning bug) season.
I have been waiting for this since we moved here and I found out that they live here.
But there are only a couple. When it gets warmer more will be here (they have to wake up from winter sleeps).
Cas humored me and went outside at dusk and he caught one, then it got mad stopped glowing and then flew away (angrily).
I had my camera and tried to take a video, but he was too little and i couldn't find him. I will need more fireflies and more nighttime before having to go to bed to get to work.
Stay tuned for more firefly news.

It Almost Rhymes

There was a kayak strapped to the top of the

little pickup truck.

Adorable.
