Mish Mosh Monday Birthday Celebration!

This is how my day started....Remember her?


Well, I found this guy sneaking out of the bathroom right before dawn....(notice I didn't say "crack" of dawn....if I had a nickel for everytime I heard that one!)



Apparently, Edward Cullen sent one of his cronies over to "turn" my dear sweet duckie! Now I'm cool with that, but where the heck was Edward???? I was home all night, Edward! Chilly was in a coma so he wouldn't have been an issue! Sigh.....Ever since I saw this over at Cammie's Life in the House of No Sleep bloggy, I have had hot vamp abs on the brain!

Then I turned on the news and saw that the weather has gone bonkers all over the place! Apparently these two idiots have been messing around AGAIN!


I should have called their mother last time they were wreaking weather havoc all over. Not to worry, I shot off an email to Mother Nature this morning and she's going to straighten these two monkeys out!


I would like to give a special birthday shout out to my dear sweet friend, Barbara Millicent Roberts! She is 50 today! Here's a photo...

I first met Barbara back in the 70's. She had just moved to my neighborhood from Malibu. She and I were fast friends! I spent a huge part of my childhood with her. She was the older, cool girl in town and I was tickled that she wanted to be my friend!

Happy Birthday, Barbie!!! We will be celebrating at your daughter's house today with the rest of your family. (Cat's busy prepping the party house right now. She asked me to share a photo of her progress so far...)


Cat and I baked you two special cakes! (not really, but if we did, this is what they would look like!) Cat "made" this one...


Yes, that is a Barbie cake...they've come a long way, haven't they?! Here's my special Barbie cake (because I love all things Halloween...)



We have a special friend of Catherine's coming to do a fantastic birthday performance for Barbie too! Here she is!

That's right! We are having some Irish dancing at our party!!! Cat is so excited!

Now to celebrate this fantastic birthday, our friend Zen Cupcake is having a FABULOUS Giveaway!!! Here's a taste of what's being offered...




She is giving away four different versions of this goodie from Sephora! Another hint...Juicy Couture perfume!! And there is so much more!!!! You really must go check this one out! It's unbelieveable!

What was your favorite toy from childhood?

Happy Monday!

I had that Malibu Barbie. When I saw her new version in the store, it brought back fond memories to numerous to count. :o)

Emily and I are going to a special Barbie show at the library on the 18th. Not sure if they'll let me take pictures...

Enjoy the party! LOVE the Irish dancer. ;o)
Good old Barbie! Gone are the good 'ol days! Shes gone from working girl to down hussy in the last decade or so. I miss the barbie of old!

The Irish Dancer is cute! My dog, Scamp, loved all my Barbies - they were very chewy - Happy Birthday, Barbara!
Tom said…
You had me at Heat Miser and Mr. Freeze! What memories. They don't make shows like they used to.
The Blonde Duck said…
I LOVE THE DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness, I remember those Barbie cakes! I used to give Barbie a "bath" after we ate the cake to get off all that frosting off her boobs. Hmm, I think I'll make a Ken cake for my son's first b-day!
Alexis AKA MOM said…
I heard on my radio show this mornign that they made a barbie with tatoos? Now don't get me wrong I love my tatoos but I'm not sure about it for my young child, just my opinion hope not to start a war. Once a comment of mine on a wedding in Taco Bell started a huge debate.
TuTu's Bliss said…
Thanks for the heads up!
Tim Atkinson said…
She's not looking too bad is she, the old gal?

My favourite toy? A model railway.
Jillene said…
They are nice abs indeed. I had a Barbie cake once--it looked much different (you know 80's style)!
Jennifer said…
Hi Dawn--Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and braving the clown--I hope to see you there again!

I love that pic of Barbie--she looks like she might have to visit Dr. 90210!

My fave childhood toys were my baby dolls!
Jen said…
Oh I loved playing with Barbie and I hope I get to again someday. With my daughter although my son always asks if he can have a Barbie.

You crack me up! All your pictures are hilarious. Love the old barbie! Haha!
Kelly said…
Happy Birthday! (I think). Heat Miser and Mr Freeze are the best. I had the inflatable Barbie furniture. We even created a zip line for our Barbies at my house. We were very progressive like that.
Dapoppins said…
I am still stuck on Edward...cause that picture is Stinkin' hawt.
Dapoppins said…
Yippy for that old barbie....is that real?
Unknown said…
You seriously crack me the hell up!

And I didn't know that Barbie was turning 50...guess I should've crawled out from underneath that rock sooner.
debi9kids said…
Wow! Babs is lookin', um, not as good as I remember. LOL
Hope you had a great birthday!
Seeker said…
I loved the start of you post but you went back to ...that Barbie chick..not for me. (see my barbie post)

Glad you and the kids got a kick out of my wet suit problem and advice.

Oh I liked my Barbies just fine, but I HAD to have horses for them to ride!

Those are just a couple that were in her stable available to ride! (I had more horses than Barbies...LOL)

Ok ... now I have to remember to wear my Depends when I visit your blog! The old Barbie was just too freakin' funny! I love it! And how funny that we both talked about Barbie on the same day -- I talked about killing her in car accidents and you give her a nice party. Humph. I guess Barbie will like you better now!

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
