Touched by an Angel

This is such a hard time of the year for me. I posted a entry yesterday joking how I am down because I have no one to dress up for Halloween but that is only part of it. That is me joking my way out of a blue mood. I hate this time of year Its getting cold Another summer has come and gone and I didn’t get super fit like I said I would Daylight hours get shorter Fall taxes are due End of year taxes are going to be due soon. Christmas expenses are coming up. My birthday is coming up and I am going to be older There are so many things to get depressed over and whine about if I really wanted too. Normally I do get the blues this time of year. I don’t any more though. Because two years ago my friend lost her dear little boy to a tragic accident Read the story here. http://www.wftv.com/news/14504549/detail.html You can read a poem I wrote about witnessing her grief here. http://mandatorybloghere9.blogspot.com/2008/11/witness.html You can see his memorial here http://cayden.huels.muchloved.c

Best in Show

I miss having a little one for Halloween Being the conceited diva mom that I am, Halloween gave me a chance to show off my cleverness, imagination, and awesome crafting skills. Unfortunately my little diva wanted to be whatever was freaking popular or girly that year. Things like A princess A cheerleader A Fairy Disney princess of the year (Jasmine, Areil, Belle) BORING! But you have to make them happy right? What is a creative genius like yours truly to do? Thankfully her best friend was the youngest of four. Her mom was tired and they all went as hobos each year. The girls BFF would let me dress her as I pleased. YAY! I got to dress her as An Awesome pirate( we just love Pirates of Caribbean that year) A scary wolf ( went with riding hood and grandma costumes) A computer bug A crayon A big baby Another year, I got to dress my own mom up as an IPHONE Sadly, it was for a contest at the bingo hall and all the oldies kept asking her if she was a calculator. Such fun! Sadly though this y

Housing Slump

Image
They say the housing slump is over in my adopted town. I am having trouble believing it. This cute home has been on the market for a while now with no bites. Look how lovely her landscaping is Its on a gorgous street. Nice and quiet, manicured lawns and well cared for homes. A great place to raise your kids. Such a puzzle why no one has made an offer yet. Unless, Its this house that is right next door. Does anyone even live there? This neglected yard that obviously has no love? Yes of course someone lives there! This is my house! I dont get why my neighbors are selling? I dont understand why people are not flocking to buy it and live next door to me. LOL Do you? Maybe I can talk hubby into just running over them with the riding mower this weekend. It couldn't hurt

All Work and No Play

Makes Goober sad

Nanna Knew

When I introduced my sweet hubby to my grandparents 20 years ago, he was a bit horrified how they talked with one another. They had been married almost 50 years at the time, and during dinner while Grandma was talking to my sweet love, Grandpa said loudly and rudely "Push your glasses up!" Grandma did, and carried on with her story without missing a beat. When we were young newlyweds a new show was on fox called Married with Children. A huge hit. We didnt get it. Why didnt Al want to make love to Peggy? Why didnt she want to cook for the man who allowed her to stay at home with her kids. Why didnt Peg want to cook for her kids or keep a nice home? Well dear internet its is now almost 24 years later and I noticed over the weekend the hubby and I say things to each other on a daily basis we would not have dreamed of a two and half decades ago. Things said this weekend by one or both of us listed below: Stop picking. You @sshole. Could you turn that sh*t down? What the h#ll did

Saturday Drive By

Something different today. I filmed a quick drive by of my adopted town Mayberry You can see all the lovely homes, how close they are packed together and all the huge trees I am always yammering about. Its really windy so the sound quality is terrible Let me know if you see a house you would like more pictures of and I will try and feature it on a Tuesday around Town entry Also, you get to hear me yammering in the back ground and yes I do sound that silly in real life.

Tuesdays Around Town

Image
Yes I know I havent done one in ages. I would give elaborate excuses if I could, but I wont. OK maybe I will whine just a little bit. I have been trying to diet and work out and failing miserably. I have been working lots trying to get out of debt and failing miserably I have been trying to organise my house and time and failing miserably So what the heck, I will put some pictures up of my beloved adopted town. First off the canopy of trees on the streets. I love them in the Fall it looks like you could go down this street and get lost in some sort of wooded mythical maze. What is that one line this road goes yonder or something poetic like that. This house is huge but look at the red tree right dead center. I wonder if they planned it that way. Either way I love how its green everywhere and that red hits you smack in the forehead I think this house looks out of place it looks as if it should be in new england or something but its crammed between the other homes. It needs to be in Con

Someone Must Care

I am so out of blog content. I sit around in a stuper in my boring life and wonder why I bothered starting a blog and why anyone would bother reading it. So desperate for inspiration, I bought this book It is a great book. Like the title says bloggers have to refrain from blogging for the sake of blogging and not just list what we had for lunch. Because that is boring. Telling people what you did all day and had for lunch is mind numbing and silly. But.......... Do people eat like I do? I dont think so. I had a bag of these for lunch. After that, I ate a box of these. Come on! How can that be boring LOL

Poor Goober

Goober is a Golden Retriever. They are prone to allergies and skin conditions Sores from digging, allergies, ingrown hairs all sorts of take care of my luxiurious coat I am a beatiful golden type things. He has been scratching his side a lot lately I looked and he had a big sore on his side. OH NO!!!! I have been neglecting him He is not getting the care he deserves. After much research, I found out I could give him some antihistamine and I ordered some very special shampoo and salve to put on his tender hide. Poor Goober. I bought anti-itch sprays for him too. The poor baby. Today he was digging I was trying to distract him with new toys Dont dig goober. Come here mommy will love on you. But then, something fell to the floor. What the #$#@? Goober did not have some sore on his side caused by his baby like pure bred pedeigree my granddad won the west minster best in show sensitive golden retriever skin. It was a wad of gum. He had a wad of gum stuck on his fur against his skin. GUM!

A Fork in the Head

My long term readers might notice I use that statement a lot. A fork in the head. Did you put a fork in his head? He is lucky I didnt put a fork in his head. Are you done? Should I put a fork in your head? But where did this odd statement come from. I will tell you. When I was growing up I was around my Aunt's house a lot. She had eight kids Yes eight. All within 1 year of each other. I was there a lot because once you have eight what does one more matter? During dinner one evening, one of her evil spawn put a fork in her sister's arm because she went for her piece of chicken. During screams and wails and blood and getting ready to go to the hospital my Aunt said calmly At least she didnt stick it in your head. True zen

Politically Correct Hubby

Me: I am doing yoga Him: I know I can tell you look great. Me: I have only been doing it a week Him: Yah but you have that glow you look fantastic. Me: Anywhoo, this one position really really hurts my back. Him: Show me Me: Grunt pant twist ughh owwwww "Tadah" Him: That is very good Me: Yes doesn't that look like it hurts, wouldn't that hurt your back too? Him: Yes it looks very painful when you do it Me: What do you mean when I do it? Him: I mean if I did it and was in the shape you are in, it would probably hurt. Him: I mean I work out more than you do that's all Him: You look great Him: I bet lots of women couldn't do that Me: You can shut up now Him: ok Him: Your hair is pretty Me: Bite me
