Don't be surprised

I just kinda forgot I had a blog for a while. I haven't even been reading other peoples blogs. (I mean, what is wrong with me!) Truth is I've been so busy working and being tired I can't remember things like blogs.

Last Wednesday we got a dog. Yes, you saw that... a D-O-G. She's a Corgi and has the sweetest personality on the planet. However, she came to us with the name of "Sheba". Yeah, no... that's a cat name. I knew that wasn't gonna happen. The previous owners also laughed and said they called her, "Stumpy" too. That totally fit so there you have it, Stumpy.

I know, I know

I haven't blogged in forever. I've just been super busy and well, I don't have any real excuses.

Really, I mean the most exciting thing happening... I got some baguettes today and can't wait to pretend I'm in Paris again.

Also, I went to see Wicked last weekend. Ohmygosh, it was so good. I want to go again.

In other news: My Vegas "girls" (including Matt) and I have planned a cruise in October. I CAN NOT WAIT. It will be so much. And hopefully, considering our "luck" on the Vegas trip, we won't get into any trouble...heheehee!

Check ya later!

Homework

WHY ALL THE HOMEWORK?

Apparently these days adults need a tutor just to help their kids understand their homework....and no I'm not talking about college level homework here... I'm talking 5th grade!

Maybe it's just that my daughter and I are just too much alike. We just sit and argue about what the "right" way to do things is. I think we need a tutor. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Our Annual Holiday Inn Trip

My friends and I decided to go to the Holiday Inn again this year to practice our swimming legs. You know, we have to make sure we can still swim. As I'm typing this I just realized that all the pictures of this event are on the computer at work. Maybe I'll remember to post them later. ha.

We had a great time, swam for a few hours, ate some...crap... not literally. Fell asleep around midnight after playing cards and woke up to a decent complimentary breakfast.

You guys should all do this! It really is a lot of fun!

We just had

to take a picture of Hannah's feet.

 

I must admit

I'm not much of a blogger. But I LOVE to read blogs. Especially ones with children. I like blogs about medical issues (that people overcome-and sometimes not). I wonder if this makes me strange. I hope not. A lot of times I think I'm a pessimist, but in blog world I think I'm an eternal optimist. Does that make sense? I didn't think so.

My recent addictions have been two of my favorite blogs since the beginning...

http://www.mycharmingkids.net/
and
http://kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/

They are both unique stories. Right now the ending seems to be going in the right direction for Stellan, and a terribly wrong direction (or right depending on how you look at it) for Kayleigh.

Just thought I would share what's been keeping me busy!

Your Assignment, Should You Choose To Accept

Thanks to MamaKat over here for the writing fun.

Check her out to get the real idea what's going on.

The Prompts:

1.) If I sent you four hundred dollars today what is ONE thing you would spend it on and why. ps I want my change.

2.) What are your kids talking about?

3.) Tell us about a local news story that's all the buzz right now in your neck of the woods.

4.) Share some blogging advice.

5.) Tell us about that time at the playground when that thing happened.



I'll take number 1... and that would be a water heater. ha.

that was easy... i didn't even have to write anything really!!!

YouData

So I found this really cool program that gives you money for clicking on links. It literally takes 5 minutes out of your day. They deposit money directly into your paypal account. I know it sounds too good to be true...but see for yourself.

All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire and then you can start clicking on the links. Mine just open up in my tab and then I close them. It's just that simple.

I made 3 bucks today just from clicking for 5 minutes!

So how long has it been?

FINALLY...

This is the result of Hannah's room. I know it's really plain, but that's the way it's supposed to be. She has an entire other bedroom dedicated to EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD. Including a TV with her Wii. I don't recall having my own "office" when I was 10 years old!
