My Little Pony mania for GKTW

As some of you know (since I've been talking about it for months) Give Kids The World has teamed up with the Hasbro line My Little Pony. We have been getting celebrities and famous artists to design their own versions of large My Little Ponies for an online auction that benefits Give Kids The World. Well, the auction started yesterday and the ponies look awesome!!! I wanted to share them with you so you could see how cute they are! And the first pony that is purple, Twinkle Hope, is a GKTW pony that will be put into production for little girls to play with everywhere and a percentage of the sales goes to GKTW. I'll let everyone know when you can buy them. Here's the link and a few pics of my favs...

Here's my girl Twinkle Hope! They added some extra bling to her for the auction.

This one is by LeAnn Rimes. She had her nail technician help with the design. Just goes to show you really can't go wrong with a good manicure! And it reminds me of rainbow brite. :)

A Japanese manga artist (no clue what that means) Junko Munoz designed this. I like her furry bonnet and her great Geisha shoes!!

This one is done by an artist/designer Claw Money. How great are her Nikes?!?

This one by two of my fav celebs Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette.

Designers Maze and St. Roman best known for their clothing line Kid Robot did the pretty pink carousel pony. She has a great Farrah Fawcett shag and in my favorite color!

Long Weekend Fun

Chris had to work all weekend, but I was able to get in some fun with Jillian and her parents for her dad's birthday. Between boating around the Polynesian Resort, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom, it was great! Going to Disney with Jillian is like learning all the secrets to the parks. Did you know you can ride in the front of the monorail with the driver?!?! Me neither! But between Jillian's persuasive talking and Mr. Paciello's birthday button, we were able to do it. So fun!!Captain Jillian and her crew!

Sexy glasses for Mickey's Philharmagic.

Us in the front of the monorail. The view was amazing!!!

Fay Went Away

Several people have been asking how we are with the hurricanes. We are great! Our lawn was watered enough for the rest of the year, so we are good! The winds didn't hurt us, but it just poured for days. Chris kept wondering when we moved to Vancouver. Cally did not enjoy the hurricane as much, but we did end up with some great pics of her. Poor Chris had the roughest time, though. Even after the rain stopped, the golf course was closed for days due to flooding. Chris even went out one day to find ducks swimming down the 16th fairway!

The street in front of our house.

Our little trooper. Cally is terrified of thunder and rainstorms due to a traumatic experience as a puppy before we got her. We were very proud of her although she looks a little more like Paddington Bear here.

Chris took this in one of his sad attempts to go golfing. The floaty things in bottom left of the water are birds swimming on the golf course!

Here you Go!

So once a month, I have to work a night shift. I enjoy these shifts as I get to see our awesome evening entertainment and I have waited a full year to see one of our Entertainment shows, "Safari Double Dare" because one of the staff members threatened to pie me in the face. He no longer works on Monday nights and a few people have come and gone in the department so I felt it pretty safe to finally check out the show. What was I thinking?!?!?!??!

They did find the most innocent looking little girl dressed in a pink dress with pink shoes just for me. But she was not that innocent! She got me good and then rubbed the whole thing in my hair too!And for future reference to everyone: whipped cream turns into a bit of a pomade in your hair which some volunteers had fun with. Hence the picture in the previous post. The bonus was I smelled like a candy store for about two hours. Then the dairy started to sour. Not so bonus. I washed my hair and face 3 times. When I woke up this morning, Chris suggested one more time. :)

Coming Soon....

....The explanation for this picture:

He's Back!

He's back!
Cally and I missed him and we're happy to have him after his month long excursions with Golf Channel. I know he was glad to be back too after being stranded at 2 different airports!!! The lawn missed him too- I still haven't figured out how to start the mower. I'm just glad we didn't get a letter from the HOA. :)

Boise Part 3

You can't go to any type of wedding celebration and walk away unscathed from an awkward social situation. Boise was no exception. (How many words can I use that end in -tion?) I expected something being as how I hadn't seen Jackie since my own wedding over 5 years ago and her family even longer. I knew no one else there but my own parents. There was bound to be some awkwardness among meeting of new friends, right? Well, wrong. I'm not shy and I pretty much get along with everyone, so the awkward social situation had to come from left field- completely unexpected.

So this very nice-looking woman comes and sits down next to me at the table fairly late into the evening and asks me if I am Deya Dishman.
"Um...(there is hesitation as no one has called me that in awhile)..yes."
"You hit my car."
"Excuse me?"
"You hit my car. During one of your concerts. You left a note. "
(crickets chirping...)
"I'm sorry...?"
"I know. But you hit my car."
"I did. And I'm sorry. We did take care of all of that right?"
"Yes. I've just always wanted to put a face with your name."

For the record, one of the few times my dad let me drive his car, I slid sideways in a parking lot on the ice into a parked car- 9 years ago! I know, I know, I hit a parked car, but isn't the more ridiculous thing here that this lady held onto it for 9 years!?!?!
