Mama and Baby

Here's Mama and Baby, Baby was laying down like Mama, but every time you go get a camera, she gets up, silly girl.

Dill Pickle's new bike

Diane showed me how to put pictures on my blog ( not really, there was mass confusion and we have decided my camera is stupid, we will be waiting for Orfield to come back to town ), but in a round about way we got a picture on here! Here is Dylan's bike we got him at the garage sale, he really loved it!

Happy Birthday Daryl!

Happy birthday to Daryl today, he is 44 years old! We will be going to Lonestar ( his pick) for dinner tonight, yum, I can't wait! I have been searching for a great big clock for my living room wall and finally found a gorgeous one at Hobby Lobby. It will be so pretty when it's gets on the wall. I am finally going to the doctor on Tuesday about my swollen neck that has been swollen since March when I went to see that quack of a chiropractor. I wish I could take that back so bad and never go to him. It's causing me a lot of pain lately, so I guess it's time to see what's going on. I also made Whitney's appt. to see my gynocologist and get her the pills. I have been trying to put that one off, but she is prety independent these days ( which is a great thing and I'm glad she has a life she enjoys so much these days ), and I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Daryl and I have appts. with the dermatologist next Monday. I go every year just for a check up, Daryl has never been, but he has a brown spot - looks kind of like a birthmark, but it's not, on his forehead that I think warrants a look at, especially since it's new. I hate doing all these doctor apppointments, but what are you going to do?? I also have my gynocologist appt. and my mammogram, waa, seems like all I ever do all summer is run to all these dumb appts. It's good to be off work to do them though. Ok, now that I've whined about all my doctors visits, I will go get psyched up for dinner!

Garage Sales!

Daryl and I went to garage sales this morning. It is fun to have him along, I don't think he's been able to go with me in about 2 years, but he really likes to go. Sunrise Landing was having their community sale today and there are always a lot of them there. Bargains of the day include: A smowblower for $20, a bench for the dresing area of my newly remodeled bedroom $20, a mongoose bicycle for Dylan for $25 and a coleman lantern still in the box for $2. There were other odds and ends we bought, but these were the biggest things. Dylan will be here in a bit, we can't wait to show him his bike, he will be excited. I am thinking his spiderman big wheel will be taking a backseat tonight! We got some fresh green beans and we are cooking them with some potatoes and a ham and the house smells really good. I am getting anxious to finish painting the bedroom. I hopefully will finish it next week. Gotta go fold some laundry.

same old stuff

Same stuff different day. Went to Curves this morning, then came home and painted. Much to my delight, I did not fall and bruise myself or get paint in my eye. That made it a good morning. I got the sink/vanity/dressing area painted today. I ran out of tape and had to stop because I couldn't tape up any more of my trim. I think I am going to stop painting until Monday and take it up again then. Tomorrow I will go garage selling ( Wethersfield has their neighborhood sale, yay) then to Curves, then to Wal Mart. Then home to do not much of nothing until time to grocery shop. Guess that's it, pretty boring stuff. That's the way I like it!

rough first day off

Ok, so my first day of summer break isn't going so well. I was at Curves before 8:00 this morning. I got weighed and measured for the first time since August. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty and I was right. I am 6 pounds heavier than I was when I joined Curves a year ago and 10 pounds heavier than I was last August. My butt is 4 inches bigger. Everything is bigger, but my butt is what I really remember the measurement of. Looks like I've got some serious work to do. So I came home from all that excitement and I started painting upstairs. I fell off the stool I was standing on and bruised the top of my left foot . I got paint in my right eye. Good thing my eyes and the paint are both green. I managed to get the bathroom and the hall to the bathroom done. What a pain in the butt. I sure do hope I love this green color cause I don't think I'm ever painting up there again. I swear there just couldn't be any more angles up there! Upstairs of a cape cod house - CRAZY. I am done painting for today. At this rate I should be able to get the whole room finished by the time it's time to go back to school. Daryl's got some more sanding to do up there, maybe he will get it done tonight. So, that's what's up , now I'm going to go take Pierre outside so I can sweat some more.

shopping with Dil Pickle

So, I had this plan to take Dylan shopping for Nina for mother's day and let him pick out her gift. I told him about the plan on Friday and he said he wanted to get her flowers and cake. Ok. On the way to Wal Mart yesterday to get the gifts, he said he wanted to get her a sword. Ahh, no. I am thinking you have enough of those to share with her. For craps sake, there are at least 4 of them here alone. So we got to Wal Mart and I had to persuade him towards some gifts, or she was going to end up with some really big, really orange jewelry. With my help he ended up with pink roses, a candle, an ankle bracelet, toe ring and a watch. You're welcome Nina. In other news, that big, huge bobtailed cat that is trying to kill mama cat struck again last night. She was hurt to the point that we weren't sure she would make it through the night. She seems to be much better this morning though. That cat must die. Until he dies, we will keep the girls up. If the freaks next door would get their 10 cats fixed he would not be coming around here at all. We blame them, but he still must die. That is 3 times since Tuesday he has attacked her. He must die. We are thinking about bringing them in the house, but they still have their claws and I would hate for them to tear up my furniture. They are too old to get de clawed now. I also don't want them bothering Pierre in his golden years. The hair would get on my nerves too, but maybe I would lose weight if I had to vacuum everyday? I don't know that they would be satisfied inside either. That cat must die. Mom and dad, Kathy and Bruce and their boys are all coming over for mother's day today. Gotta get in the shower and clean the bathrooms, the only 2 chores left to do and it's only 9:15, so I am doing good. Only 10 more school days, I can't wait!! Better go check on mama again. That cat must die.
