CBS' shout out to OSU

lookie, lookie here:
yup, that's right. marshall from how i met your mother is rockin' the vintage benny shirt!!! when i first saw this episode back in the fall i was totally stoked! immediately went online to see if i could find an image, but no luck. for some reason i thought about it tonight and found one on some dude's blog who's a grad student at OSU. go beavs!

finally

got to see the movie 27 dresses. when she showcased her stash of bridesmaid dresses, it made me think, "what the hell did i do with the ones i wore?" hmmm...{scratches head} couldn't tell ya...but one of 'em sure rallied a few of the ones in the movie!!! so if you haven't already, go see this-the bar scene was absolutely hilarious. oh, and a cool thing? the movie ended with one of my fave songs *ever*: like a star by corinne bailey rae. i love her.

Corinne Bailey Rae...

oh, and here's another song of importance to the movie, just for kicks:

mlk jr day

is a soggy one here in the metroplex:
tay and i are still in our jammies & we have decided it is a day for:

doing our homework assignment, which is a letter to our valentine at school (ok, so really mama decided this one)

watching aladdin and playing playdoh

a fire in the fireplace

and...i would *not* be jonelle if i didn't work in some house cleaning into the day, which i have already done. :)

happiness today is...

getting a new outfit for princess rainbow:

discovering all the possibilities with a spray bottle in the back yard:



and coming in the house from playing with the spray bottle to the smell of mama's banana muffins, fresh from the oven:

weekend @ the movies

saw national treasure: book of secrets on friday night. it was a great sequel to the first. love, love, love riley. he cracks me up with his humor and witty comments that lighten intense situations. it was great that all the characters were back. i like it when that happens with sequels. also got to see juno. definitely go see this movie. it was hilarious. totally reminded me of napoleon dynamite. i can see why this movie has multiple golden globe nominations! was also supposed to see 27 dresses, but at the last minute they pushed the release date to next weekend because of the mlk jr. holiday (bigger opening $$$). i was slightly annoyed at that, but oh well...give me something to see later on i guess. oh, james marsden is in this movie. he was prince edward in tay's fave movie, enchanted. i have to admit it's a little weird not seeing him in his tights and hearing him sing! hope you have a great week!

for those who are interested, i included tay's unfinished letter to santa in the "barbie-mania" christmas post. you'll have to scroll down to check it out. this was a homework assignment from her school. it went on to explain why santa should bring her the requested toys, "i have been a good girl and a helper at school". :)

my name is

slim shady?! no, *silly* mama!!!

and what a name that is to spell! needed help on i and k, but she knew the rest. woo-hoo!!!

giving "princess bunny" some roller skates. i was so excited when i saw this. immediately thought of my early childhood classes/preschool student-teaching internship and some of the developmental milestones that i learned of this age. she's at the stage where her drawings are evolving into representational art (drawing actual, concrete objects). love it.

happy new year!!!

welcome 2008!
