"Lesley Likes To..."

This was on Marcy's blog, and it looked fun.
Here's what you do:

a. Go to Google
b. Type your name and the words "likes to" all in quotation marks.
(e.g. "Stephen likes to")
c. Report back on the first ten things that come up for your name.
d. Add sarcastic commentary in parenthesis if you feel up to it.
How close is Google to reality?


1. Lesley likes to roast her marshmallows reallllly far away from the flame.
(no, but I do like them to catch fire)

2. Lesley likes to spend some time documenting her travels and experiences both in spoken and written.
(no, only through picture format)

3. Lesley likes to play basketball, dance and sing.
(funny. i liked to dance and sing in the mirror when I was 10)

4. Lesley likes to ramble.
( If I do it, I don't like it)

5. Lesley likes to develop the optimum planning strategy to suit each individual client depending on their personal circumstances.
( I like to do this for my students)

6. Lesley likes to keep herself ultra fit.
(If ultra fit means gaining 8 lbs in one week.)

7. Lesley likes to feel abreast of the situation.
(depends on the situation- I don't like the word abreast)

8. Lesley likes to shop. For anything. She’s a shop-a-holic.
(not true! opposite of true)

9. Lesley likes to spend her down time in the fresh air, walking and gardening.
(i wish)

10. Lesley likes to work out.
(i wish)

Not All Grown- Up Yet

I thought her glory days were over. Since she has gotten older her play time usually revolves around playing games on the computer, jumping on the trampoline, or wanting to have friends over. Her days of doing random odd ball things have seem to come to an end.

Until today when I found her and her babies in here...

It made me smile. I am not ready for her to grow up.

Here are some best of Bella pics.

What Deals Are Out There?

I've wanted to do this post for a long time to help a
neighbor out, and to also find out deals that
I didn't even know about.
So if you know of any, please let me know.
Watching Oprah yesterday encouraged me once
again to really be wise about spending.
Looking for deals and staying on top of our budget.
Sad that it took Oprah to get me there.
It should just be innate in me to want to be a wise spender/saver.

These Are The Deals I Know Of...

Does Anyone's Sweetheart Want A Scooter For Valentines?



Or anyone going to prom this year?
http://waco.craigslist.org/clo/1018086146.html

So, I have had these in my closet since 1998.
Brett laughed we he saw me taking pictures of them.
He asked me if I was going to go into a time warp to
the early 90's to try to sell them on e-bay.

And if those didn't make you laugh...
maybe Rowan's crazy hair will.
