I did a little thrift store shopping today. I came across a stack of old road signs…..and bought these two. Maybe they’ll go in Boo’s playroom…..
There’s more:
A new piece of furniture to repaint for Boo’s room as we decide how to redecorate. This huge bookshelf was only $20!
I contemplated this quilt to use for photos:
I was tempted to buy the scary clown doll…..
…..and I’m still thinking about the clown painting:
Speaking of clowns…..a conversation at school last week:
Boo’s Teacher: Why are you so tired today?
Boo: I couldn’t sleep. My mommy and daddy kept me awake ALL night with strange noises.
The teacher told me this and I literally cackled:
Me: I’m sorry to say there was no activity in our bedroom last night. It had to be Vicki and Tamra fighting on TV….the Real Housewives OC finale was a doozie. By the way, Boo is still Jewish this week.
I was super depressed last night over Tom and Katie’s split. If you read enough tabloid magazines you feel like you know them right? This video cheered me up immediately. I even hooked Boo up to a “lie detector” this morning. She couldn’t figure out how the computer new she was lying with just a colander on her head.
Then she hooked me up:
Boo: Are you a tree?
Me: Yes.
*BUZZER*
Boo: I knew you were lying.
Me: Just testing it. And really? You’re sure I’m not a tree?
Boo: Do you exercise?
Me: No.
Boo: Then why are you wearing exercise clothes?
Me: So I’m always ready….just in case.

Clowns should not allowed in thrift stores – scare off too many good customers, like me. But, I really enjoyed the Circus Museum at the Ringling museum in Sarasota FL, especially the video on how clowns put on their make-up. I guess it’s just when the make-up is on I don’t like it, at all.
SCARY CLOWNS – Noooooooooo!!!
Good thing you passed on the clowns.
You should probably destroy those pictures now, too…
That little guy was so adorable. Love that age!
Oh, ditch the clowns. Keep the dresser.
Clowns…..or as I call the Satan’s minions. Thrifts stores are full of them, either it’s a conspiracy or literally no one in the world finds them cute or appealing.
I have a lamp that is a drunk hobo clown sitting on top of the world. I love it. But all other clowns creep me out!
That clown creeps me out, it reminds me of that commercial when the clown gets closer and closer! Watched the Jimmy Kimmel clip, it is a hoot! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and keep wearing those exercise clothes….just in case!
My dad made me watch “It” when I was five. That was the end of clowns for me. I say leave them at the thrift store!!
I think that is one of the creepiest clown dolls I have ever seen!
I could see you shooting a clown version of the “Elf
on a shelf”…you should buy it.

What a great video, love it! I always love reading about your conversations with Boo:)
Now you’re just trying to incite the haters….clowns and kid experiments?! Haha! Love love the bookcase! Don’t love the clown!
My Mom had that scary clown painting when I was a kid. Clowns freak me out.
Love the book shelf…nice size.
I was a clown in High School. My mo had made me this GORGEOUS clown costume for a party, out of neon pink solid on one side and neon with black polka dots on the other side. It was such a beautiful costume. Big ruffle collar, silver sequin hat etc. I was (please don’t laugh too hard) active in mime, (it was around 1978 when I did mime) and so was a clown at kid’s parties. A friend would take photos while I did my clown thing. It was interesting. Just ONE of MANY odd dress up jobs I had throughout my high school years.
I was’nt scary though.

jimmy kimmel is tooooo funny! have you seen the halloween candy pranks he got parents to do to their kids? just watch it, its on youtube- crackin me up!!!
Oh, I’m still traumatized from the clown paints my mom used to have in my room when I was little… They were always staring at me! LOL!!! Creepy!
NO CLOWNS! For the love of God……..no clowns!
I wish we were friends in real life and not just in the stalker-ish way that I read your blog.
I’ve just come across this amazing post – the lie detectors tests have had me in fits for a good ten to fifteen minutes! At risk of seeming rather dumb….how did you get the computer to “know” she was lying with just a colander on her head?!
