Born to be Wild

All he needs now is a Harley, a teaspoon helmet and he is good to go *LOL*    What you can't quite see in this pic - is the little widening and flick at the end of the MO under his chin - just adds to the whole hog rider `look`.

We are on the last week of the MO for Movember *praises be - sing Hallelujah*  I am hopeful Mike will go back to his normal goatee after this but I have a feeling he has grown quite fond of his new look *LOL*    If I suddenly hear the roar of a hog in the driveway I will know all is lost!

Day 1, Week 1

Day 14, end of Week 2

and I quote Mike -

half way there and the 'stache is looking good.

Applied for a part as a cheesy bad guy in a cheap western, not quiet long enough yet. Still need to keep the growing going.   Sadly enough my lovely and loving wife will not kiss me with the lights on.

he is right on that!!

 

Oh by the way - if you think the *stache has made his nose look a different shape - it's not the *stache... he broke it.. last week ... at rugby!

 

**Wednesday Winners** MO-vember

This week has not quite turned out the way I had planned.   For those that have visted the main Scrapgrlz page you may have noticed the donation link there for Epilepsy research.  I had planned to do this post about MOvember on Monday as it was the start day for Mike, but ....

Monday morning was a very rough start to our week.    Cait had a weird seizure, nothing like gelastic and nothing like she has ever had before.  She was choking, could not breathe and had gone totally rigid, so rigid that Mike could not sit her up but managed to get her on her side.    This was going for more than 5 minutes and we could not bring her out of it so we called 911.   The paramedics came, followed by the ambulance - and we spent the day in hospital while they tested her.    We still really do not know what happened - and fortunately it has not happened since Monday morning - although Mike and I are now on high alert at night - which is not very restful.   We go to Stanford next week to see the specialist and hope he can give us some answers.   I really hope this never happens to her again, it was so frightening and just heartbreaking not being able to do anything.

 

However, I decided to make MOvember the focus of Wednesday Winner instead.

Mike shaved off his normal mo/goatee on Monday night all ready for his stint at MOvember.  I have to say he looks weird - I think he looks younger.. too young actually - our kids think it makes him look older and weird - and could he please grow it back ;-)

If you want to donate to the cause - and support my husband's moustache - you can donate here.   I think it is a great and fun way to help raise awareness and funds - and personally I will be glad when he grows his mo and goatee back - he looks weird without it!!

In honour of MOvember - I thought this weeks giveaway should be something manly man - so how about some Lil Man from Cosmo Cricket - because honestly Mike now looks like a little man!  

 

 

I hope you have fun playing along - and good luck to everyone.    I think you all know the rules now - so I will give you a break from posting them.

The rest of November is going to be all Autumn (cos I say that not fall) related - so keep checking in for lots of fun - including GREEN Friday specials, well it's me ... it wasn't going to be Black Friday now was it.  

I think you can guess what the December giveaways are going to be cos it is my FAVE time of year!!

 

Circus Circus - the cafe and other photos

as for the song - did I mention Green Day were on the plane to NZ with me last week. They are performing in NZ next week! 

went to Circus Circus for brunch this morning followed by a quick visit to St Lukes as the boys needed a haircut, and the pax's needed some groceries.   then back here as Si and the kids were going out to see Gran and Uncle Chris.   They are back now and we are off to Nosh - a deli and then an early night tonight i think after last night!

Sing along while you work today

Happy Halloween!

Savouring Saturday

I am absolutely in love with Muse's new album "The Resistance".    Right now it is the soundtrack of my life!!... as in I play it over and over....it inspires me!

My absolute favourite song is Exogensis: symphony Part 1.   Not the usual title of a song you would expect to see on an alternative rock album is it??     This song is just beautiful.    There is no video out yet - but I found this on Youtube - that some clever person had made to go with the song.

Enjoy!

Filled with GLEE !!

I am, like so many others it seems, am loving Glee - the new show this season.   One of the freshest funniest things to come around in a long time!  

If you haven't watched it yet - make sure you do.  Enjoy this clip from last night.

Friday Funky Flashback - ELO !

heard this on satellite radio a couple of weeks back driving back from a day boating on the lake.   You should have seen us all in the car - bouncing around, seat dancing and singing!! ...     amazing I didn't jackknife the boat!! .... came home and downloaded it on i-tunes - and I have been playing it over and over

- it gets me going in the morning .. I dance.. I sing... I embarrass my kids !!!!

enjoy - sing.. dance around your house or your cubicle... and get going this fabulous Friday!!

.....he was robbed!!

if I needed Vanilla - I would have gone to Baskin Robbins - BAH!   

I will be watching and waiting for Adam's music - he will be iconic
