top 3 thursday...
yes, because anyone can do a top ten...
but the BuNnY MoNsTeRz & i thought three was more fun.
this thursday's top 3 is...top 3 80's movies...
mine are crazy easy...
actually i could fill up a top 10 very easily as well...
so only three is actually more difficult.
but here we go...
#1...
sixteen candles (1984)
for SO many reasons, i could write an entire blog about it.
(but i'll spare you and choose not to)
#2...
back to the future (1985)
again...short of an entire blog post...
#3...
nightmare on elm street (1985)
perhaps the true beginning of my horror fascination...
(though i think it really started the first time i saw
bela lugosi as dracula...i was 6)
can you name just three?
i'll add more info on this later...
for now gotta run...
happy thursday!!!

3 part wednesday...
saw this awhile back and just saw someone tweet about it...
and i'm so glad because it reminded me to share it...
i think everyone should see it.
this is for those of you
that have and do stand by me unconditionally.
i adore you and love you more than you know.
thank you.
(p.s. watch this from beginning to end...it's quite amazing)
HaPpY HuMp Day!
or WoNkY WeDnEsDaY...
(as a blog reader suggested, being fond of my use of wonky)
but what should one post for a wonky day?
hmmm.
well...
ummm...
google image search offers paris hilton
and her apparent wonky eye...
(i never noticed...or cared enough to pay attention,
i guess would be a better way of putting it)
google also offers a lot of crooked trees and pix of craft projects...
again... not really my version of wonky...
so perhaps wednesday shouldn't be wonky.
or at least not in BuNnY MoNsTeRz blogland.
so...
here's your picture for this fine wednesday.
munki took this pic with her digi cam.
this is one of her favorite dinosaurs and get this...
the dinosaur's name...
wait...
for...
it...
rosie annie princess.
munki's such a girly girl.
and i adore her & love her to bits....
and wouldn't have it any other way.
so there...
maybe not WoNkY...
but it's wednesday...and you got a stellar kid shot.

nets save lives...
MALARIA NO MORE
Malaria kills a child in Africa every 30 seconds
and costs the continent $12 billion every year
in lost productivity. It doesn't have to be this way.
We have the tools and the programs in place
to end malaria deaths—help us support Africa
in its efforts to break the cycle of sickness and poverty.
This World Malaria Day, Malaria No More is urging
US leadership for continued support in the winning
battle against malaria. Malaria offers an incredible
opportunity for return-on-investment—exactly
what the world is looking for in this economic climate.
Help President Obama keep his campaign promise
of joining with the global malaria community
to end malaria deaths by 2015.
"Counting Malaria Out" and be part of the first
great humanitarian success story of the 21st century...
making malaria no more for once and for all.
(quoted from malarianomore.org)

stamp out hunger...
when school lets out for the summer...
many kids lose the food provided to them
through breakfast and lunch programs
provided by their schools.
this is a great way to help out...

happy 4/20...
happy patriot's day...
(whatever floats your boat...)
we've been enjoying the sunshine...
thus not much headway has been made
in BuNnY MoNsTeRzland...
but there is much talk of rain in the forecast...
no gardening or sandboxes in the rain...
so...
maybe i'll get some work done this week yet.
though i don't really consider it work
when i can make my own schedule...
and do what i love all day...
and make money & donate some money...
is there really a better job?
not for me.
thanks.

(like i'm one to talk...SO behind on orders)
but this pic made me smile...

another "grace"ful quickie...
but saturday is for playing in the sandbox...
so this has to be another short blog post.
so, awhile back...via twitter...
(i can't recall who found who)
i 'met' a couple from maine
well, their tweets crack me up.
(minus anything hall & oates)
and this last week i got an order from
the fabulous amie, 1/2 of the couple.
now...let me just say...
she had informed me
that she was buying it for a little friend.
well...after the arrival of 'grace'...
i am proud to say that they are keeping her.
i love when people love the BuNnY MoNsTeRz!!!
and now a twitterpic (or 2 or maybe 3) of grace...

congrats to all of the people who helped make
ashton kutcher the first million followed twitterer.
and congrats to ashton for making good use of all of this.
already SO many good things are coming out of it.
AK donated 10, 000 nets...
ryan seacrest and oprah jumped on it and donated
thousands of nets as well...
last count, i think it was 50,000 +...

i have much MUCH more to say on this later...
but as i said...this was a quick one.

the power of the internet...
...or support @aplusk
okay...
so, lately several people have helped me
& the BuNnY MoNsTeRz out...
and i always try to help out in return...
again...
you need twitter for this one...
and if you are on twitter...
follow ashton kutcher
follow follow follow...
help him beat cnn to 1 million followers...
it's a battle...
a war...
it's the twitterverse uniting...
a coming together...
a unified twittery kinda thing...
rally the twitter troops...
or gather your tweeps...
twitter tweeter tweet tweet...
break away from your leader syndrome...
(at least for a moment)
and follow follow follow...
ashton plans to buy 10,000 bed nets
on world malaria day (april 25th) if he gets
to 1 million first...so there's reason enough...
plus, he's gonna ding dong ditch ted turner's house
check out larry king's response to that...
ashton's not afraid of bison...(are you ?)
i am proud to say that malaria no more
gets random BuNnY MoNsTeRz donations...
(we donate to other organizations as well)
it's amazing how the internet can reach people...
...especially if it does something good...
$714.29 per letter...
do you have a favorite non profit organization?
do you twitter?
if so...
hugh jackman has said that he will donate 100K
to someone's favorite non profit org...
the catch?
do it via twitter...
in 140 characters or less...
(that's where the $714.29 a letter comes in)
don't have a twitter account?
sign up...and respond here...

ooh, it's a 2 post day...
holy sh...shut yo mouth!
well...was doin' some twittering
and found out via sally
that her nubs pix were used for
elle magazine korea.
rad.
i snagged the pic and the link just for y'all...
cool, sally...very very cool!
i am so glad you love nubs!!!
2faced BuNnY MoNsTeR...
(click on the pic to see it a bit bigger)
the first of it's kind went to miss munki
(my wonderful 6 1/2 year old)
today is her HALF birthday...
and yes, we celebrate it a little...
just one smallish gift and usually a cupcake.
munki wanted to mention
that not only is she 6 1/2 years old...
she is now no longer saying how tall she is in inches.
that part is a bit harder for me to swallow...
not that 6 1/2 is easy to take...but...
munki is now 4 foot 1 inch tall.
how did that happen?
seriously?

besides...her photo is full of sunshine...
and outside my window today it's rather grey.

i want to go to the UK so badly...
nubs has been all sorts of fun places.
~*~
thanks again sally for the awesome pic...
(and the nice little write up)

surprise!
i sent these two little BuNnY MoNsTeRz off to sally last thursday...
and it was killing me not to post a pic or write about them.
but the postal gods have smiled on both sally and i.
they arrived in the UK today. (sent 4.2-rec'd 4.6)
i am done questioning how or why...
i am just happy that nubs now has an instant family.
and they made sally squeal like a little girl...
AND i don't have to keep this secret any more.
secrets and closed mouth happenings are KILLIN' me.
i'll post this on flickr, after sally posts her first flickr pix of them...
love you sally!!!

i need to step away from my sewing machine
(and my needles and hand sewing and etc etc)
long enough to take some pix of my own
to post on this blog...
but again, sometimes...
nubs just makes the perfect statement.
happy furry fuzzy friday, y'all...
