bee and rose

As you may know, I am experiencing some problems with Blogger...more specifically Google Friend Connect. Yesterday, my blog was removed by Blogger, and every blog that I follow lost me as a follower ! I still have NO clue why this happened. Fortunately, I was alerted by the FaBuLoUs blueviolet that something was amiss... Shortly after the heads up from blueviolet, I started receiving tons of worried emails from bloggy friends and family. Many were concerned that something (like death!) had happened to poor Chilly. Rest assured, Chilly is alive and well...(if he doesn't start behaving, I don't know how long that will last, but for now he has a pulse!) Shame on you, Google Friend Connect (close family relative to Blogger!) for causing such a panic for my loved ones! The most amusing part of this nightmare is that once I realized what happened, I immediately tried to reconstruct my "blogilicious" list (blog roll). I'm still missing some, but am trying har...

Join in the Not Me! Monday fun brought to the land of Blog from MckMama over at My Charming Kids! I did NOT have my mini makeover this weekend. I did NOT return home from the hair salon looking like her....(seriously...my hair is NOT this streaky or these same colors...no offense, Kelly, this looks fabulous on you.... for those of you new to this style of blog meme...this is exactly what my hair looks like right now but with more bleachy streaks...) Chilly and the kids did NOT call me Kelly Clarkson all weekend. My stylist would NEVER do this to me especially when I told him this (see photo below) is what I wanted....I did NOT show him a photo of the color I wanted....My hair is NOT even more auburn than before with huge streaks of bleach blonde...(not that I didn't enjoy my previously auburn colored hair, I just wanted to shake things up for summer...) I did NOT make it extremely clear that I wanted all coppery red tones out of my hair. I did NOT say repeatedly I wante...

You may have noticed that I have been a wee bit pre-occupied with my "other" life lately. Poor Chilly had some pretty big hurdles to jump these past few months. The "behind the scenes of it all" has been pretty overwhelming. Kind thoughts and prayers are always most welcome here! It seems that my astrological chart is completely out of whack and the planets won't be lining up in my favor until about May 30. I've decided to hire some experts to come in and help me turn "the beat around." Especially before this weekend....Catherine is dancing in her very first Irish dance competition and we need all the good vibes we can get! (not to mention tons of cash..lol!) At first I visited a gypsy for a tarot card reading....here's what happened....The first card I chose was to represent me.... oooohhhh....that's pretty good.....and true! I am a big fool who's always losing junk out of her handbag! The second card represents my recent past.... Crap...

Hello, my sweet friends.... Things are very sad at the Bee and Rose today.... We had a disaster of EPIC proportions here yesterday (Tuesday) and I am still trying to recover! At approx. 3:00 pm MST, my precious laptop, my son's best friend XB360, and my husband's mistress, Big Flat Screen TV were all critically injured in a malicious power surge. Yep, you heard me....MY COMPUTER CRASHED, XB360 BIT IT AND THE FLAT SCREEN TV DIED!!! Apparently, my new friend, Migraine, was just the beginning of my huge SUCKFEST! I immediately got these out and started waving them around... Some of you may remember these little friends of mine... Fortunately, the AWESOME folks at Microsoft helped us to bring XB360 back to life...THANK GOD! Tween Caveboy nearly had a stroke at age 12! The jury is still out on my husband's mistress, Flat Screen TV. We are searching for a specialist to help her. I know he's ready to ditch her for a new, younger (larger) model, but tough cookies, Chilly! The...
