TGIF

• Friday the end of the workweek. Yes.
• I am going to go see my grandsons and get the invitations to their party addressed.
• My daughter has strep throat. I hate that for her.
• I hope the baby does not get sick.
• Zella slept in our room last night, the vet says she was lonely and bored so she was deciding to eat all the DVDs
• Maybe it was right, she did not eat anything last night.
• I pictured my boots in pieces.
• I would have killed her.
• Our system is down, on the last day of the month.

Wednesday

• I found the door I wanted on Craigslist to replace our backdoor. It was a great deal, I told my husband if our door is this size we should get this. He went and picked it up........... That's not what size our door is ugh! So, I have a great back door with built in doggy door for sale at a reasonable price.


• Zella ate more DVDs. This is not cute anymore. ha ha


• One of them she ate was my favorite. The original The Borrower's. I love that movie.


• I bought The Changeling I was going to watch it last night but I got side tracked playing Brain Age on my DS. I just opened it last night. My brain age is 69. I did not have to take a test to know that.

Pepaw's Princess

Our neighbor gave us a little rocking chair when Pepaw's Princess came along. It was very old and needed some love. Pepaw sanded down the rocker, repainted it and made little slats to replace the old seat. I think the princess approves.

Tuesday

• Remember when the electrician came by to bid on the job? Imagine my happy face when he came back last night! Now imagine my face when he said I am just showing this guy what you want done and hopefully he can get to it next week! Seriously!
• My neighbor bought me some of those hair things that look all fancy when you put them in. I will have to post pictures can't remember what they are called. She is so good to me.
• My husband's dog ate the WII controllers last night. Life for a pet lover is wonderful, at this point my dogs can't be in trouble- his dog has done enough damage to last at least 6 months. Rosie, Sophie if Zella keeps this up it's a green light for y'all. lol
• The rent house is rented. Yes.
• I bought the baby a new toy, a mat that you hook to the water hose and water sprays up through little holes, she likes it.
• My son has his athletic parents meeting in a couple of weeks. Poor thing they are going to kill him he is sooo out of shape.

Wise County Old Settler's Reunion

Every year, the last week of July the Old Settler's Reunion is held in Decatur, Texas. Thursday night we all went and took the grand kids. It was a lot of fun as usual. Watching them ride rides and play games they had a good time. On Friday we went and hung out at a friends cabin ate some great bar- b -que and played some games on the midway. But the best part of the evening was the concert that night. No Justice came on the stage at 11:30 pm and we had a blast. Dancing with my husband and my son. No Justice is an awesome band one of my favorites and after the show Steve Rice (lead singer) took time out to talk to us let us snap some pictures and signed my daughter's t-shirt. What a great guy.

Vacation

• Vacation was great. The baby loved it she is definitely related to me.
• Her Mom got mad at me for letting her taste everything, hermit crabs, snails, shells etc.
• She loved the ocean water, the taste!
• My son complained that we weren't letting him even be on vacation because he was still having to do everything like he wasn't on vacation. When asked like what he stated brushing my teeth and brushing my hair. What?
• My daughter was stung by a jellyfish. It was pretty bad. But she is a trooper, she was back in the water the next day. Afraid but there. You go girl.
• I finished a book while there, that was nice. Don't get a chance to read as much as I would like.
• My husband and my brother did some awesome cooking.

Short Weekend

Wow this weekend flew by. Made a trip to Abilene to visit my cousin. He is in a nursing home there. I loved that nursing home, it was old but it did not smell bad and the people seemed happy and it had a really nice outside area. I want to quit my job and go live there.
We were able to visit with quite a few members of the family and it was just really nice.
Sunday I hung out around the house did a little cleaning, bathed my dogs they looked beautiful and felt so soft. My husband bought me some oatmeal shampoo and I was very pleased with the results.
I cleaned out the refrigerator yuck what a terrible job.
We bought my grand daughter a bouncy toy. She absolutely loves it. I have never seen her happier.

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!

Okay I guess this week I am a little elated that it is Friday. I don't really know why. It has not been a bad week I am just ready for the weekend. Tomorrow morning we will be leaving out to drive to Abilene for the day, going to visit a cousin. It will be a long day but it should be a lot of fun too.
Yesterday I looked at the lost pet section on Petfinder.com and saw an add for a lost Shih-Tzu in the same area where I adopted mine. I went home and called her Oreo all evening, I am not seeing any recognition but what if I am wrong and I have some one's lost beloved pet. So this morning I sent an e-mail requesting pictures etc. Hopefully it is not my Rosie.
The rent house is almost ready to be rented again. Woo-hoo.
I had a dream last night that Uncle Carl and Aunt Dathan were on TV on the Price is Right. I don't watch that show and it did not look like them but for some reason I knew it was them. What could that possibly mean?
I also dreamed I was at some kind of flea market and my daughter bought a very nice coat that I thought cost $600.00 ( I know I know a very nice coat) but imagine my pleasant surprise when she said she only paid $298.00 for it. First if my daughter can afford either of those prices for a coat I hope she is sharing the wealth, second why does my subconscious care about that? I am just asking.

Thursday Thoughts

• My in-laws came over to go to dinner with us last night, it was nice. We had Mexican food.
• My husband picked up my new patio chairs and table, I love them.
• The electrician came by and gave us a quote for the work I need done. His company contracts for my husband's company so he tries to stay in good with my husband but I think he undercharged so I am going to pay him more. I mean I want a good deal but I want it to be a fair deal too.
• The kids are not able to go on the mission trip to New Mexico this year, not enough room at the inn. I have mixed feelings about that. They are my kids so I want them out of the house and having new experiences but they are my kids so I want them home so that even though they drive me crazy I know they are safe.
• I am going to order that new back door this evening, no matter what, that will be done.

Holiday over

Okay a 3 day weekend is wonderful, i don't want to imply that it's not but I was so tired after this weekend.

We went on a bike run Saturday for the first time. That was a lot of fun it should did start to get hot by the time we headed home though. Breakfast at Denney's before the ride. What could be better?

Runaway Bay fireworks is fun every year. Maybe just because it's what we have done for years I don't know.

Wildcatters Ranch in Graham was a very nice place. Saw Josh Abbott and Wade Bowin and there were nice fireworks there as well. I did discover though that I may be too old to get home after midnight and then work the next day. I am just saying it's possible.

I am having some electrical work done at my house, well that is if I can get a good referral for someone to do the work at a good price. I am in home improvement mode right now. I like it, instant visible results of your work. I am also wanting to do granite counter tops and new tile, those will have to wait a little longer.

They put on the new roof day before yesterday, it is very pretty. Darker color shingles this time I really like it. I want to go with a metal roof eventually though. Yesterday they started on the rent house roof. I drove by thinking to myself "Why are all of these men hanging out on the lawn? Oh yeah the roofers I knew that. Why aren't they on the roof and not the lawn? Slackers. It seemed like an awful lot of men for one roof.

My Week

I did not post anything yesterday because my Internet connection was out all day. Which got me thinking about all that rely on the Internet for. I seriously could not do any work, could not get on to the network, email, scan to network folders. I was just amazed at the dependency. I almost don't remember how to look up a phone number or a place of business unless I go straight to my computer. My children aren't well versed in using a phone book. They can use my space and face book. Are phone books going to be one of those things that we have to say " Well when I was your age we had a book we had to find the number and or address in." ha-ha.

I am also looking into bio identical hormones. If anyone has any suggestions or comments on that it would be appreciated. It has to be hormone related nothing else in my life has changed.

Let me just say those little dogs I adopted are the best. I guess I am not just a one dog person because I am definitely bonding with these two. Rosie is black and white and Sophie is cream and tan. They are so well behaved and I am lucky to have them.

I heard about a couple I know that are going through a tough time. Apparently she has been seeing or at least talking inappropriately to another man and her husband found out. That is a a bad position to be in and my heart goes out to them.

I am off work tomorrow woo-hoo. I love holidays. I have absolutley no plan for tomorrow, that feels pretty good.
