No One Should Have Just One!

Don't these medals look like potato chips? Read all about them here.

Olympic Dazzlers!

Figure skating wouldn't be the same without some glitz and glitter ~ I think that Evan must be crafting his costumes with the BeDazzler starter set . . .

. . . while Evgeni must have invested in the deluxe mega super spectacular BeDazzler set. His faux tie and vest have certainly gone from dull to dazzling, just like the ad promised. Craftastic!!!!

O Canada!!!

Congratulations to all of the ice dancers for wonderful performances this evening! If you know me, you may or may not know that I generally root for my sports teams based on the design and/or colors of their uniforms ~ unless, of course, a friend or family member is on the team.

So, with that in mind, kudos to the gold and silver medalists, but what were the bronze medalists thinking? I cannot even bear to post a photo on my blog ~ yikes and yikes again ~ those costumes were either so hideous and/or distracting it was hard to notice the skating! I guess the costumes aren't part of the rating system ~ lucky for the Russians! Designing costumes for skaters would be a great challenge for the folks to try on Project Runway!

Here comes Peter Cottontail...

When I moved to Kansas City back in the late 80's, one of the weirdest things I remember were the life size rabbits that are displayed in the plaza shopping area every year. This has been a tradition since the 1930's ~ the rabbits are plaster of Paris with a coating of fiberglass added in the 60's.

By day these rabbits seem kindly and benevolent, but by night they turn creepy ~ their eyes light up an evil red ~ I think they are supposed to be pink, but the end result is kind of scary. One more reason to visit Kansas City! Happy Easter!

Springtime in Kansas City

This is what it is like living in Kansas City ~ unpredictable weather! To think I had considered moving all my plants outside ~ good thing I didn't!

made me smile . . .
