A little this & a little that

Tonights post is about several things:

When I first found our property it was spring and everything was so green and pretty that I fell in love, well this morning when I was sitting outside shortly after the sun rose that I realized that spring was nothing....Fall is beautiful....I love the fall. Here are some pics.



































This next one I don't have much to say about other than I thought it was pretty cute!






















Now this totally cracks me up!!! My husband who has NO Hair, thinks he needs to condition it! I refuse to let him use my products because they cost to much to let him waste on his bald head, this is what I found in the cabinet. It just totally cracks me up.






















Last but least!!

Remember Screech from Saved by the bell.........This is very disturbing......He has starred in a porn!!!! Titled..............Saved by the smell!!! That just turns my stomach!!!

A start to decorating.......

Saturday I finally bought something pretty for my kitchen. I wanted to buy rugs also, but Kenny & I just couldn't decide on anything that we really liked, so I guess I will keep looking. I am just happy to finally get something pretty in there!!

The new curtain

The new towels

What it is

The picture below is a picture taken when we were moving out of the old house, it is under Bill's fridge & behind the trash can. Look at all the beer caps DIANA & DAVE!!

Do you know?

Do you know what this is a picture of? Mike & Diana are not allowed to guess, because they are already know. Also for you smartass's out there, I already know it is trash!!

HA! Are you freakin kidding me!!!

Below is a copy of an email I received from my MIL, it is supposed to be an actual article from Good Housekeeping in 1955, but snopes says it is fake. Either way I thought it was interesting and very funny. There is no way, no how that this would ever be me!!! Could you just imagine, I am sitting here laughing & thinking about it.

*Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

*Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

*Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

*Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

*During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

*Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

*Be happy to see him.

*Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

*Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

*Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

*Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

*Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

*Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

*Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

*A good wife always knows her place.

Redneck Romance

Last night I was flipping channels and saw that one my favorite all time movies was on, so of course I had to watch, it is one of those movies I can watch over & over again. The American President. Well I didn't that Bill also loves that movie. I was a little shocked cause after all it is a romantic movie or a chick flick. So we both reclined the recliners on the LOVEseat and cuddle together and watched the movie together, it was great cause everyone knows that Bill is not that kind of guy.

Also we have 2 new members of our family:

Their names are Franklin & Angel, here are some pics of them. They were born on June 23, 2006.

We are talking about getting a pot bellied pig next!!

Things are changing

Things are about to change, actually they already have started. It started tonight with the snake, I had did some research and bullsnakes DO NOT make very good pets. So I had made the decision that we would set him free. So when we went to set him free, we found out that he had already escaped. The funny part about this is that he has been staying in Bill's workshop. So as you can guess Bill was having a fit. Do I mean a fit!! SOOOOO......Mom had to save dads life from the big bad snake. I found him and picked him up and let him go. Bill is happy again. When doing research on snakes last night I did discover that a great beginner snake is a corn snake. They are supposed to be real docile. So sometime next year I will get the kids a cornsnake. Bill isn't to excited about it, but I figured it would also be a good learning expeirence for him also.

Another thing that is about to change is that the kids will no longer as of this weekend have satellite in their rooms, let me tell you they are not very happy about it. I told them that they should be thankful to even have a TV in their rooms!


Something is bothering me:
A person whom I care for posted on their blog finally, and this was the post.

Who your true friends are
I guess its a fact of life. When you break up with someone that you have dated for a LONG time, it is at that point and time that you find out who your true friends are.
You date someone for 9 years. YOU introduce this person to a group of people. You become friends with the same group for at least 6 of those 9 years. You do EVERYTHING with that group and I mean EVERYTHING.
6 years later you find yourself no longer with the person you were dating/living with while becoming such great friends with this group. The group that you thought were your friends suddenly stop calling you, asking you to hang out etc etc.
When He and I first broke up, the one thing I didnt think I would lose,out of everything else Ive lost due to this break-up, would be my friendship with this group. I never thought in a million years that I would become the outcast.
Apparently, I was wrong, thats what I get for thinking.
Its amazing how people can take sides so quickly and believe everything the other person is/has been telling them.
It amazes me that it can be thought that he had no fault whatsoever in this break-up. That Im the reason for this happening. I am completely at fault, to blame. That he is perfect (Which he even admitted to me that he thinks he is).
It amazes me that these people are being told things that are completely untrue, however, since he is telling them, theyre taking it as gospel.
This hurts so much and makes me cry often, but...the one thing I have found out of this realization, is that there is ONE person, out of the whole group, who is truly my friend.... And for that I want to thank her. I know she knows who she is.
A bit of advice to everyone out there that are friends with a couple that are going through a breakup: There is 2 sides to every story. Don't judge until you've heard both sides and know all the facts. Don't take sides. If you were true friends before, you should still be true friends after.
That's all I have to say about that.


Someone awhile back told me about seasonal friends. What is a seasonal friend you ask. Well they are your friend only because they have to be, like saying because of a marriage, or a relationship. But when that marriage or relationship ends then so does the friendship, they were only your friend because they had to be and it was for the season of the relationship. Well.....

I AM NOT A SEASONAL FRIEND!!!

I also hope that I don't have any seasonal friends. I am very hurt by this post. I have included this person on several occasions, but have been turned down because of the other person will be there. Don't blame me if you are trying to oust yourself. I have true feelings for you if you are reading this! Please don't be a seasonal friend!

Now I am going to go to bed and irratate my husband!!! Goodnight!

Petting Zoo

I feel like we have the startings of a petting zoo. Maybe we should start charging people to come over!(actually a great idea) hehe!


The old man




The baby



The girls

The 3 footed turtle

The baby bullsnake

Next summer Bill wants to have a pond dug, so if we get that then I want some ducks, so I guess we will have some ducklings in our future.

TV

Paula posted recently about bumper stickers, and Jennifer made a comment about bumper stickers with cuss words in them that she doesn't want her children reading. Well this is something that I am really sick of my children hearing about. Erectile Dysfunction!!! I am so tired of hearing those what seems like 10 minute commercials! The government talks about children watching violent shows & movies on TV, which in turn causes the children to shoot and kill their parents, but it is ok to hear the TV talking about sex, orgasm & erectile dysfunction! I get so mad when those commercials come on. How more violent can you get than watching Wile E. Coyote try to blow up the Road Runner every week, that is a show that EVERYONE used to watch when I was growing up and I don't remember hearing about anyone killing their parents because of that show. Also it isn't so much the TV & music, it is the parents not teaching their children & just letting them do what they want.

I have to go to work now I guess I will stop compaining!! :D

Have a great day!!

"Crikey!"

So I saw that one of favorite TV charaters died. It was very sad to hear. I did not ever think he would die from a stingray, I had always said "One of these days he will die from a croc" guess I was wrong. He will be missed.

T.G.I.F

Need I say more! I do have to work for a little while tomorrow, but I couldn't say no to really good money for a short time period. But thankfully it is a 3 day weekend. This has been a REALLY busy work week for me, and I am very thankful that it is almost over!!

The new babies are doing good considering they have to deal with Kenny! They grow very fast, I can tell a difference in them already in just a few days. We also put in a cat door for the Zues, that has been interesting trying to teach him to use it, I think the little flap needs to disappear!

Have a great weekend!!!!
