World Series Cardinals

WOW! What an intense game last night. My stomach was so upset, I thought I would get sick. That was some extremely stressful baseball!! Happy Birthday to me!! Watching the end after we won really reminded me of Porter & Sutter in 1982. Molina ran out (like Porter) and jumped onto Wainwright. My big fear now is that the Tigers will sweep us like the Red Sox did. At least we can say........We made it!!

GO CARDS!!!

I am so lucky!!

I was looking at some pictures from past events this evening on the drunkfest photo page, I just couldn't stop laughing and thinking about how lucky I am!

LOOK AT MY MAN!!!

I feel really bad for all you women out there who are not as lucky as me! I think he is a keeper!

Happy Birthday Diana & Mindy!!

(Jack is also 1 today)

Always curious

Most of you have seen this house, it is on Hwy N, seems like it is always for sale. I don't think it is a great looking house, but like most people I have always been curious about it, I would love to see the inside. It drives me crazy wondering what such a lllllllooooooooonnnnnngggggg house looks like on the inside. I found it and have looked at the pictures.

Look at that lovely pink ceiling fan in the master bedroom! I know you all want one of those! That is what everyone is getting from me for Christmas........unless of course you would rather have a goat!!!

This is why the house is so long! Now I want that house just because of the pool!!

So if you would like to see more stuff in this house.(you know you want to, everyone is curious about this house) Here is the MLS # 631916, just click on the link and enter the number!! Lllllloooooonnnnnggggg house

Fall

Another reason I love the fall is because the leaves are on the ground and you can hear things moving in the woods. Last night I was sitting out on the patio having a smoke before I went to bed, when I heard some noise, so I was looking in that direction, when a deer came out. I stood up and was watching it, I got so excited to see deer on our property that my heart started going BAM BAM BAM! I stood there for almost 30 minutes watching 3 adults and 2 babies. They eventually walked over behind Bills workshop. That was so cool, especially since they were so close.

I didn't realize how much Kenny has grown over the summer, he had a huge growing spurt. In late spring/early summer he was wearing size 7 jeans, well now he is wearing size 9!! He went straight past all the size 8's he had! I thought he would be set for fall since he had about 15 pairs of jeans all size 7 & 8's. But nnnoooooooo!! Now he has 2 pair that fit him!! Darn kids why do they have to grow so fast!!

A little more this & very little that.......

I can forsee already the fights that Bill & Kayla are going to have. Just because she is a girl and does what girls do, and it drives him crazy. For example: Yesterday after school Kayla went up to Taylors house after school, she was there for around 2 hours. Well when she came home she wasn't home 15 minutes when Taylor called. So Kayla took the phone to her room, which first off Bill couldn't understand why they were on the phone since Kayla just got home from Taylors house. I told him, that is what girls do. So after about 20 minutes or so on the phone, it was driving him insane. So he went to Kaylas room, and told her it was time to get off the phone. He comes back with the phone talking about how Kayla had the phone on speaker and laying on her bed, talking to Taylor, while Kayla was sitting on the floor coloring. I just laughed because again that is what girls do. I told him that is why girls always want there own phone line, also that it was not costing him anymore on the phone bill for her to sit there and talk. Personally I don't see what the big deal was........It's not like he was going to use it!!


Also yesterday I dropped my car off at the Ford dealership to find out what was going on with it. I had to get a rental. Well Ford called me at work and said that the rear brakes went out and it is not covered under the warranty, it is going to cost $199.00 for them to fix it, which includes labor, parts and the rental. I thought not bad, but still had to call Bill first. He says no way is he paying that much, he will do it himself, which of course caused me to panic!! Bill is a VERY handy guy, but a mechanic he is NOT!! So anyway I call back Ford and tell them that they can't fix it, it is to much money. Awhile later the dealership calls again, they are going to go ahead and fix it because it makes no sense why the rear brakes went out after only 16,000 miles. They said they should see wear on the front brakes but not enough to replace after that amount of miles, so the back ones shouldn't be that bad. But since this is not a warranty repair, I will have to pay for the rental, COOL! I can deal with that. This is the part that gets me:

When I bought my car I asked for a smokers package, which is a ashtray and cigarette lighter, I was told that you can only get that when you order your car from the factory. Well with my rental I was informed that there is to be NO SMOKING in the car, I had to sign off that if I smoked in the car they would charge me $1000.00. The rental had a ashtray and cigarette lighter in it!! I asked them if they had a smoking car, they said no all their cars are non smoking. I think that if I am paying for it I should be allowed to smoke in it also they should have cars that are for smokers. I know I am complaining about a bad subject with some people, but still I have rights also, I can understand not smoking in restaurants, but I think some of the rules that are coming about these days are just down right stupid! I could so go into this way more but this is not a political blog........Speaking of politics......

Mark Foley is a sick, sick man!!!!

So anyway I will be picking up my car this morning and I am going to chain smoke in it because I can!! (Not really)
