My Wedding day..........

was the happiest day of my life........................i married the wrong man, but i was in the right dress! xx #tnxMom

A Job??? xx

One day i will forget your name, one day your face! One thing I'll never forget is when you told me to get a job on FB. When ever u asked me for money, i was there for you. I only asked if you wanted to repay me the money your mother stole from us?? As for the job i do have many jobs, tnx they just don't pay off yet...........but i'm sure they will. God and karma have to be on my side after dealing with the likes of ya'll! xx #Dead

Our Christmas Miracle xx

Just before Xmas i awoke to our front door open. As i stumbled toward the light, i prayed at least the screen was locked. No, it wasn't. That means it was wide open all nite and we could have lost our cats, been robbed or killed. We don't live in thee worst of places but who would temp fate like that? We don't have a whole lot to take........a few xmas gifts under the tree. So blessed... we were all safe and sound. I call this our Christmas Miracle and i thank God today.............xx

Shot thru the heart! xx

Maiden Name xx

I decided to return to my maiden name upon death. It should not be a hard decision, but i was torn. I could use both or simply drop the Murphy and honor those that loved me the most and did all they could for me. They also survived the holocaust, were great Americans and my heroes. My mom, dad and gr'ma. It is their love and hard work, that inspire me each day and i still look to them for guidance! xx

Validated xx

I was hanging out in my neighbor's garage and i shared with Bobbie Jean 27 yo, how i never felt validated or wanted. I never heard anyone say it's ok for me to be here. By all means she quickly replied, Please..... stay she said, as she searched for the right words. It didnt matter, i got the message loud and clear! ...................xx

Gabe the dog xx

Gabe was on AGT and i called Dreama in to see him perform! Then i remembered my folks always did that. They always called to say, there is a special on. That's how it was listed in the TV Guide. Long after we had cable they would call and say.....the circus is on CBS. As i shared with Dreama i began to cry............xx

Chandler's balloons xx

When you arrived home from the hospital i picked up blue balloons and Nana Violet and we waited for you. Aunt MeMe and Uncle Max! It was 113* and then you finally came thru the door...... in your mother's arms! xx

PROPS! xx

My new Tote is props............props for work, props for kids stuff! Trucks, dolls and books......... All the stuff you schlepp for others! All the stuff you schlepp for yourself! As for me, i fill my Prop Tote and head out to Inventori LA to see if Tori needs anything! xx

Ultimate betrayal! xx

I will disown my kids....... my husband announced one day................if they are gay, or marry a black person. I was shocked and replied........i will never disown my kids for any reason! But i did! I had to let one go, for the ultimate betrayal. The ultimate stab in the back...when you laid down with my enemies you became one of them to me! xx

Tiny token treasure Tote xx

Old, new, borrowed in blue.....................handing out tiny treasure Totes for brides to be! Love filling bags like Tori Spelling..........tokens include pennies,Antiques and other cute items i search for you! Always something NEW, old, borrowed in blue........ from SMI xx

Not fair! xx

I want life to be fair and it's not! Every year when we go to the La Dwp light festival I remember just how unfair it is. As thousands of cars drive through the lighted tunnel, one family was not so lucky. A father asked his estranged wife and children to meet him at the lights. He shot all four of them, killing two. His wife and child dead, two other sisters survived! Right there in the middle of all the holiday displays he tried to slaughter his entire family and the Light festival goes on......................xx

I hear you knocking........xx

but you cant come in. Who to let in who not. Didnt make any new mistakes but let Jana slip thru my fingers. Work comes first and that is the sad reality of my life! One old pal showed up and my son walked him out. As he drove off he had a beer in his hand...i had no idea! Are you kidding me? I have a Drink but dont drive line of accessories..............and i mean it! xx

Fonda Jane! xx

I wasn't planning on watching Jane on Joy Behar. I didn't plan on liking it or learning from it. Always a nice surprise. Jane's new book Prime Time talks about her life in the third and final act. What can we do our last years to make sense of the first years? I spent my forties putting my life back together and trying to figure things out. I usually have good instincts and find out later on, i was doing the right thing, at the right time. People did not understand my need to sort thru what had happened to me and HOW i could keep it from happening to me again! Jane gave me hope as women our lives do get better and i am looking forward to my third and final act............a solo! xx TL

MA VS Fleury........xx

A father took his two sons to a gun show. It was to be a guys day out, bonding time with his boys. He wasn't just a good dad but also a DR. Not just any DR. but one that works as an emergency room Physician. I'm sure he has seen his share of gun shot wounds. So maybe it was surprising to some that he let his son fire a Micro Uzi, which led to his son's death. The father was filming as good dad's do, but at what point do you put down the camera and THINK. The gun kept jamming, i feel God was trying to warn them. Within a second Christopher was dead on the floor. Death can happen anywhere....speed boat show, concert, circus all carry risks. Perhaps with guns, we should all remember, the risk is even greater! xx

Wish bones! xx

We happen to have chicken one night and there was the wish bone on the stove...sitting there, bringing back childhood memories. That was our entertainment right there i told my granddaughter. No cable tv, no pc's or video games. Whenever we had chicken for dinner the wish bone was set out to dry and the next day we would make a wish and see who won! I can still see the smile on my mom's face to this day! I guess it wasnt a completely silly ritual, when i heard that Emma Watson's dad did just that and she won the part in Harry Potter! That must have been some chicken! xx

Always punished! xx

They say no good deed goes unpunished and that is true. I was thinking the other day that maybe my punishment will be lifted! I gave for ten long years, i suffered for ten long years....maybe this is it! All my hard work and prayers..... but what good does it do if the sentence is not lifted? I remember my husband telling me a story of a witch he knew. Yes, she was a practicing witch. He asked her for money, she cast a spell, her dog died, he found 4 grand, bought a car and drove to TX. He said that whenever she cast a spell something bad happened to her. Made me think, maybe that's the way it works for witches and non witches. When you give you lose especially when you give to he wrong people. Maybe it's a test to see if we keep giving? xx

Where's Mason? xx

My family tells me Mason will not be appearing in his family's reality show (Keeping up with the Kardashians) this season! Perhaps it's too many egos ...Kim lol perhaps he's camera shy or maybe he doesnt want to give grandma Kris her 10%........xx

A knotted Tee! xx

Of all the offensive things i find about Casey Anthony, her knotted t -shirt is number one. You see her on the news with her shirt pulled tight to one side! What does a knotted shirt mean? Why would you do that if your kid was missing? Does it really matter how you look, are you in style? Is it too big? Nothing like that should matter if your kid is missing and it should not matter, if your kid is dead! xx

Pink or blue? xx

A couple recently announced that there will be NO announcement of their child's gender. Chastity Bono, the cutest girl in the world, realized early on, she really was, a he. I remember decades ago, watching a documentary on babies and gender. A person was asked to hold a baby and keep it company with a few toys. The dolls and toy trucks were on a nearby table. The girls, dressed as boys, were given trucks and toy cars, by their care giver. The boys all in dresses, received dolls to play with. The point of the study was to speculate if we as parents, dictate our kids future, and their sexuality. As for me i feel it's all one step closer to us living in a more uni sex world! xx

Im not sure the K family is royalty. But i may tune in for kim's wedding. I did watch them for yrs for my own personal reasons....but now i have moved on. So many reality shows, so lil time. I moved on to Dance Moms and Roseanne's Nuts. Famous Food and the Little couple. I started my biz Susan Murphy inc with the first few reality shows....Anna Nicole and Chasing Farrah... rest in peace. So it will be a part of my life forever, these stars and their reality and mine! For now... Mazel tov Kim and Kris! xx

What's Old is New! xx

I was surprised when Tori Spelling opened her store (Inventori) it was a mix of old and new. I didnt think you could do that...isnt it against the rules? lol It got me thinking about my own products and mixing old with new. I had my bridal Tote of Old, new, borrowed.... in blue. So i took it to the next step and opened an Esty account called ONB in Blue. Bridal hair pieces and more! Can u believe Tigerlily White was taken? I then filled lil blue bags with Old, new, borrowed items. Antiques, new pennies, charms and tokens! Always a nice surprise! So its my name, tote, new biz, tiny treasure tote and more.... whats old is new again! xx

Just Jars xx

I also love Mason Jars. I love the homey feel and the fact you can put a variety of goodies inside. Tori Spelling also loves Jars, we have so much in common! lol Recently i ran out of Tote bags ....looked around the house....found a clean Mason Jar in dish cupboard and popped products in! Love it!... Always something new and creative at Susan Murphy inc xx

Bottles and Jars xx

I have always loved bottles and Mason jars. I wasnt sure why....then i remembered a childhood memory. Whenever i got hurt my dad would open up our metal first aid kit and take out a small glass bottle or Iodine! Yes that's right, glass and metal! As Daddy tended to my wound i would ask...can i have the bottle when it's empty? Over and over i would ask, as the glass bottle fascinated me for years. I'm not sure of my dad's response or what ever happened to that glass bottle.......but the fascination continues at Susan Murphy inc xx
