goodbye fizbin bunny...

you can click on the pic for what i wrote...

needless to say,
i am a mess and may not be online so much
for the next couple of days...

full of glee...

munki absolutely will not stop singing this song.
the scary (and incredibly rad) thing...
she's amazingly spot on whilst doing so.

~*~
again with the no real BuNnY MoNsTeRz newz to share...
so we'll just leave it at glee...

have a wonderful SaTuRdAy...
munki and i are headed out for some swinging and sliding...
ya know...stuff full of glee...

the turtle and the BuNnY (monster)...

not unlike the tortoise and the hare, i s'pose...

just a quick blog entry...
rescued a turtle (chrysemys picta picta)
from almost being squished in the road today...
she's a beautiful eastern painted turtle...
she really is lovely...and sweet...




and she is temporarily living with us...
i have to keep saying that.
i am already enamored and besotted and the like.
and if we weren't...
well, there are so many ifs...
but i think she'd do best in her natural habitat.
please remind me of that later...

hope you have/had a wonderful friday...

just a quick extra...

50 banned books that everyone should read

usually a top 3 thursday...

just not this thursday...
yeah, i'm gonna talk about american idol.
so here is your chance to run away...

.........................
actually...
i will admit, that i wanted adam to win...
but i knew i would be almost as happy if it was kris.
way back during hollywood week i called my top 4.
they were adam, allison, kris and danny.
hmmm...
i need to find a way to get paid for my predictions.
i had also said something about adam making it
to the very end...but perhaps being too rock/edgy
for the masses to actually win win.
and then look...
but in all honesty...
he was set from the time he opened his mouth.
and now he has no idol contracts or anything
to keep him from doing exactly what he wants right now...
and not a year from now. maybe a blessing in disguise?
i thoroughly enjoyed kris allen too.
and i think once danny was gone...most of his fans
headed for kris.
but, again...just my opinion.
i will buy music from both of them...no doubt.

and as for the rest of it...
seriously...
did you watch the results finale?
wow...what?...the guest celebs...
what?
i mean...
can i say it again...what?
queen latifah...
keith urban...
jason mraz...
fergie & the black eyed peas...
santana...
steve martin...
rod stewart...
cyndi lauper...
lionel richie...
kiss...
queen...
i was scratching my head and then giddy
and then completely confused and grinning
and amazed and disturbed...
but it was an awesome show, regardless...
i could not believe the people that walked on that stage.

anywho...
i decided to post 2 reasons why adam & kris
were obviously there.
and just remember...
whilst diehard adam fans are upset...
and screaming rigged! scandal!
if adam had won...the other half (the kris fans half)
woulda been crying outrage! rigged! blah blah blah.
competition = someone has to come in second...
and with the vast and eclectic line of stars
that sang on that stage last night...
maybe you kinda enjoyed some part of it...
and if not...i hope you changed your channel.





have a WoNdErFuL ThUrSdAy!!!

it's wednesday!!!

happy hump day...

do yourself a favor and
check this out...
i think everyone should watch it in entirety.

and if you didn't watch it last night...
i think you should watch the pilot episiode
of glee on fox.com.

and i hope you voted for your favorite idol last night.
if you didn't...
please don't you dare complain about who wins.

~*~

and for wednesday pictures...

nubs and his noms...


red in cabo...
(apparently he learned to say me gusta mas guacamole)


and grace gettin' herself acupunk'd for allergies...
(thanks, amie, for the photo!)



have a splendid WeDnEsDaY!!!

your groove i do deeply dig...

where is your groove?
according to dee-lite it's in your heart...


and today being TuEsDaY...
means it's time for tellafriend...
this week, i am featuring...
MANDY from SAPPYMOOSETREE
i absolutley ADORE mandy!!!
you can also find her stuff at sappymoosetree.com
she's all over the internetz...
in her etsy shop, you might find
a familiar redheaded munki...sporting a bacon shirt...
*proud momma moment*
i love the creatures that live in mandy's head...
and i love it even more when they escape
and i can purchase them.
i own several of mandy's awesome creations...
(so should you)...and i love them all.


and not only does she make the best stuff...
sometimes she likes to surprise people...
(like me) with such awesomeness as this...

a yarn portrait of one of my zombie BuNnY MoNsTeRz!
mandy is full of awesome and rad.

and if you are full of awesome and rad...
(one or the other is acceptable as well)
then get your butt over to sappymoosetree...
and share your monies with mandy...
she'll send you something amazingly cool in return!

~*~
have a beautiful tuesday...

HaPpY MoNsTeR MoNdAy!!!

phidget went to the beach with us over the weekend...
and instead of getting a nice shot of the beach...
i got this.
thankfully we love phidget.



~*~
this morning i woke up to 2 new orders.
one being my last breast cancer awareness BuNnY...
the woman that bought her is a 28 year survivor!
that made my morning.
1/2 of the purchase price goes straight to
susan g. komen for the cure...
so thank you, nancy!



~*~
and thank you to my dear friend Todd for posting these...
(which is how i got those 2 orders !!!)












i have met and made friends with some of the most
wonderful people through the BuNnY MoNsTeRz...
who would have thought?

i love you all.
seriously...
sometimes the pictures you take...
or the person/people you tell...
sends someone else my way...
and i thank you from the bottom of my heart.
i thank you for supporting me in doing something
that i love so very much...
and for helping me be able to give back as well!!!
words aren't enough...
even so...thank you.

~*~
have an amazing monday...
and do something lovely for yourself and someone else...

MiShMaShSuNdAy...

as per the norm...
here is SuNdAy in all it's MiShMaShee goodness.

spent loads of time outside yesterday...
'among the nature' as munki said.




i'll be posting more stuff to flickr in the next couple of days...

and as usual...
i have found a zillion more zombie related things that i want.
like this...


and next...


jane would be so proud...
i mean, c'mon...
pride and prejudice and zombies...
who wouldn't be proud...and elated?

and then this awesome little guy...
i had sketched out a zombie BuNnY MoNsTeR
with detachable limbs...but have yet to make it...




there's even a video for him...



so...seriously...ever out of ideas for me...
ya know, when you want to shower me with gifts...
well, look above...
i'd take any/all of 'em...

i dunno...something about rainy sundays makes me
think of zombies and zombie stuff...

this next week in BuNnY MoNsTeRzland...
i'll be finishing up the custom luchador BuNnY...
(took last week off from sewing)
sometimes, personal things going on take precedence
over the plush little kreationz in my head that are
trying to get out.
that...and sometimes my fingers just need a break.

i did relist a couple of the BuNnY MoNsTeRz
that some of you had been asking about...
so, check out the shop...

s-a-t-u-r-d-a-y...hey!

oooh...a sunny saturday...
a quick post, then munki and i are outta here!

for singalong SaTuRdAy i have the foo fighters.
i love this song for SO many reasons...
it's time like these, you learn to live again...


found this funny...
though you'd probably only find it funny
if you're on twitter...
the twitter cops...
we're all guilty...


hopefully after this nice day out,
we'll have some new BuNnY MoNsTeRz pix...
and perhaps some lil eddy & chickenpants pix as well...

have a WoNdErFuL saturday...
do something wonderful...for yourself...and someone else...

bruises...

so...several months back...
when the ipod nano commercial came out...
i fell in love with the song bruises...by chairlift.
(always falling in love with songs)
today, i tried to find a video by them to post...
and stumbled across this little gem...



which made me giggle for some reason...
and since i have no BuNnY MoNsTeRz newz...
a video is good, in my opinion...
i'm also going to post a very different version
by chairlift...which is also awesome...but not
as immediately recognizable as the original...



go ahead...watch 'em...

have a happy friday...

my oh my...

it's ThUrSdAy.
what does that mean?
well...over here at the BuNnY MoNsTeRz blog...
it means top 3 thursday.
and though there was only one previously,
you guys chose to email me in participation.
the whole point in doing it, is to have you participate here.
c'mon...play along...right here.
no more email with your top 3s...
the last top 3 thursday
sent more than 30 emails to my inbox...
and i didn't forget about all of those wonderful movies y'all listed...
these answers are not set in stone (mine or yours)
and i promise you, yes promise...
not to hold you to a binding agreement regarding them.

go ahead...put on your brave face...
and hit the comment button.
you can do it.

as for today's top 3...
i am choosing songs.
though, let me preface with this...
my song/musical choices and tastes change daily.
(apart from certain stuff)
so, my answers are my top 3 songs (not bands) for this week...
in no particular order...
here we go...

Kings of Leon ~ Soft (a naughty little song)

i LOVE caleb followill's vocals...
and am quite addicted to kings of leon in general...
(definitely not just this week...more like since 1st listen in 2006)

The Black Keys ~ Your Touch

another love, is anything black keys.
i've enjoyed them since the rubber factory (2004)
but have only in the last year really fallen in love.

Cage the Elephant ~ Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

who said that nothing good
ever came out of christian hippy communes?


so there you have it...
my top 3 most listened to and loved this this week...
you can always check out my eclectic array of musical musings
on blip.fm...(the link is in the sidebar)
because, whilst these 3 have been my top 3 this week...
there is also katy perry (love her)...
ladyhawke...(my delirium has been in my head for days)
new young pony club...travis...foo fighters...tori amos...
and the list is neverending and always changing.
what can i say...i love music.
different styles, vocals, lyrics all inspire different things.
and i need constant inspiration and musical stimuli.

by the way...
did you see katy perry on american idol last night?
hawt.
and as always...go adam go! love you and thank you!!!
and as i was flipping between american idol and lost...
i was also viewing ustream with AK for the ding dong ditch
in hotlanta...what? weren't you multitasking too?
if not and you need to catch up...


go ahead, your turn...

happy WeDnEsDaY...

*Snugs and hugs* (125/365)

as for today...well, i am off to run some errands...
so my catching up is moving along...but slowly.

gah!
it's a good thing i know that i can actually speak and write well.
because sometimes, reading the run on sentences
and half made up words that i conjure up is skeery...
(nevermind the overuse of ellipses)

anywhoodles...
for now, i am off.

have a wonderful day and do something nice for someone...

it's tuesday!

i failed on the posting of a picture yesterday...oops...
so here's one for today...


i've been enjoying all my flowers and i have
enjoyed having dirt under my fingernails...



and i enjoyed the time away from the computer...
now i feel like it's a huge game of catch up.
thankfully, it doesn't seem as though i missed anything
too important.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

today is tellafriend tuesday...
and today it's claire's turn...
absolutely small is the home of the chickenpants...
i fell in love with roger chickenpants

almost exactly one year ago (may 7th, 2008 according to etsy)
and got roger a lady friend (cecilia) not long after...

cecilia was in a chickenpants movie too...yes, she's a star!
wait...what? you didn't know there were chickenpants movies?
well...check them out on youtube or blip.tv
cecilia is in #5 "the fast and the chickenpants"
who knew that the chickenpants would also intro me to
such an awesome person as claire!
she's incredibly talented to boot!!!
you can follow her pretty much all the same places as me...
and another odd but cool fact...we both own 2 pugs and a bunny.
(i have olive, lucy & fizbin...she has topanga, buster & finnegan...
she has a tortoise as well, i just don't have mine yet) =)
claire is also the admin for the needle
(which i am proud to be affiliated with...)

so...check out claire's etsy...and git yerself a chickenpants!
and if chickenpants just aren't your thing...(whattashame)
she has loads more to choose from.
go...
take a look...

time out...

had a much needed break away from the computer...
so...the next couple of days (or more) will be catch up time.

and i'll get back to updating the blog asap.

happy MoNsTeR MoNdAY!...
(maybe i'll post a pic later)

everybody was...

kung fu fightin'...



okay sadly, i feel the need to say...
that this little guy is a taxidermied version of himself.
wait, is taxidermied a word?...well it is now, regardless...
no time for searching.
the most hysterical part about him, is that i think someone
purposely posed him like this...
for people like me.
i sang the song as soon as i saw him...
maybe you should too...


HaPpY WeDnEsDaY!

again, i don't have a lot of time for blogging today...
still sewing.
but the custom luchador BuNnY MoNsTeR
is pretty d@mn awesome...
oh yes, luchador.
i think i'll have to make one for myself...eventually.

feliz cinco de mayo!!!

and happy TuEsDaY!

i am going to keep doing tellafriend tuesday...
i know so many great artists of many different
talents and creations...today i am sharing
Nicole of mealy monster land!!!
amazingly...
"whimsical, creepy, strange, cute, weird, funny,
one of a kind art dolls..."
i LOVE Nicole's creations.
some time back we did a trade...

~*~
many of you ask/have asked me about charites
and where/whom i donate to...
over the last couple of years there have been several.
(just proves even more, my indecisive nature)
i just like to share...here, there and everywhere...

you can click on any of the links below
for more info or to help out or donate...

* P.R.o.N.E. (where we got Lucy)

* Chrysalis of scottsdale (i'm so thankful for them)

* Susan G. Komen for the cure

* Feel Your Boobies

* Coastal Humane Society (our local shelter)

* The Humane Society of the United States

* Service Nation (be the change)

* Earth Day Network

* Autism Society of America

* Malaria No More

* Alex's Lemonade Stand (help fight childhood cancer)

and several other organizations as well.
sometimes i sell certain BuNnY MoNsTeRz and donate 1/2
of the purchase price...
(as in the breast cancer awareness BuNnYz)
sometimes i take $1 from each sale in a month and donate it...
sometimes i just donate random amounts to various orgs.
as i said...it always varies.
if you purchase a BuNnY MoNsTeR
and would like to mention your favorite charitable org...
i would gladly send a portion in that direction.

now on to other random sunday mish mashyness...

in case you don't know what Z.A.P.T. is...
