Project #1.....Done!!

Finally the 1st of my projects is done!! The doors are painted! I am not so sure if Bill likes it, but I do! Kayla & I also went Sunday and spent $150.00 on flowers. We bought 3 flats,4 hanging baskets,9 tomato plants,1 hot pepper plant,2 hostas, & 2 raspberry bushes. Everything is planted except for the 2 hostas. I have yet to figure out where the hell to put them! They need to be planted in a part shade area, and everything is full sun. So the next project will be the room swap & painting. Which includes the surprise for Kayla. I think when I go buy the paint for our rooms, I will take Kayla with me and have her get a bunch of paint colors to help decide what she wants, then I think I will paint her room before I move her into it.

Not much else has been going on, I got my first sunburn of the year today. I also got really lucky with a near DF disaster! That was really scary, my heart was pounding. But it is all good now. Also booked the campsites for the family trip. The dates are Aug. 3-6 for anyone who wants to joins us. Of course you don't have to stay all those days. Bill & I have been wanting to stay the extra day for awhile now, and this year we will.

I used something new to send out the Memorial weekend party invite, I am not sure if anyone got them or not, so we are going to have a BBQ & bonfire on May 26th. Bring lawnchairs, a dish, & BYOB. It starts at 2pm.

I am outta here, I need some sleep, tomorrow is the field trip to Busch stadium with all of the 2nd graders! Wish the cards were in town. Since they aren't there won't be that chance to meet any of them.

Night!

Movies, Sisters, & Completions!

I came home from work on Saturday and saw my wine rack hanging! I was so happy! Here are a couple of pics. I still need to go shopping to fill it. It is looking very bare.

Also here are some pictures of the shutters. Now that we have nice weather again I plan on getting the doors painted in the same color.

Here is a pic of the girls Bill took this one night when he went to tuck them in bed, he found them all sitting on the wall. We found it kind of funny.

So I have been watching some movies lately. I watched Superman Returns, very good movie. Also I watched Crash, now this was a great movie, I highly recommend this movie. If you are unaware of this one here is a summary of the movie. This movie won 3 Oscars and has a list of famous people including: Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Tony Danza, Matt Dillon, William Fichtner, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Ludacris, & Ryan Phillippe.

Several stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles involving a collection of inter-related characters, a police detective with a drugged out mother and a thieving younger brother, two car thieves who are constantly theorizing on society and race, the white district attorney and his irritated and pampered wife, a racist white veteran cop (caring for a sick father at home) who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner, a successful Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the racist cop, a Persian-immigrant father who buys a gun to protect his shop, a Hispanic locksmith and his young daughter who is afraid of bullets, and more.

I got some really shocking news yesterday! I guess I will fill you in on a some things before I give the news. My sister Carrie has been dating someone for awhile. They recently took a vacation together, of course it was to DisneyWorld, being that my sister will not go anywhere else. She goes every spring.

So anywhooo........She calls me yesterday morning and wants me to drive up to drill holes in her walls and help her hang curtains, she is upset because it is so light in her new apartment even with the blinds, she hasn't slept for 2 days. Did you catch what I said? Her new apartment. I was speechless, then I went on to tell her that I was not spending $10.00 in gas and all that time driving in & back home again to drill a couple of holes. I told her that I would be in the area on Tuesday and that I would come over and take care of it then. Then I went on to ask her several questions. I asked if her boyfriend was going to be living with her? answer no. Then, I asked if she could afford this? Answer yes. Then finally I asked her if mom could afford the trailer by herself? she paused for a minute then said, "I think so". Ok, she is almost 30 years old. But here are a couple of my concerns: My sister is the worlds biggest slob, I have seen pigpens cleaner than her room. Most who know of my sister also knows that she is far from being one of the sharper tools in a shed! It would not surprise me if she winds up pregnant, that is the one thing that scares me more than anything. I just can not see my sisiter being able to take care of a baby, I am concerned for the child!! Just pray for me that she doesn't become pregnant. I know that sounds really bad and maybe it is wrong of me to think like that, but I have known her for 30 years, I know what she is like. Hell just her maturity level scares me, 30 year olds don't still buy and play with Bratz & Barbies. Especially when they don't have children! I just think about her last boyfriend..........Some of you will remember him, Darren Mills was his name, if it sounds familiar that is because he is the guy that was all over the news a few years ago for taking pictures of children, when he got busted there were hundreds of pictures of little boys, and I will just leave it at that. That boy was just damn lucky that Kenny was a baby, and the police didn't find any baby pictures. There were not any pictures of girls.......Like I said anyone who knows my sister would understand my concerns. When I talked to my brother, he was also concerned.

All right enough of all that! I will give myself a headache. I am looking forward to this weekend, we are going to try to celebrate Dave & Violets birthday again, hopefully it will be with them. Even though we had one hell of a time without them last year!!! Love you guys!

Goodnight!!!

Holy Crap!!

I have a really big my music file on my computer. I just didn't know how big until I did a count of artist then albums.

I have 319 different artist in my music folder, with a total of 499 full cds. I was so shocked that I had to count it a total of 3 times. WOW! And to think I have a list of cds that is all new stuff that I would like to add to my collection. I have a total of 7,061 songs.

All of those cds were all WMA's, and they are now MP3's, I just opened up alot of space on my hard drive. I guess you can say I like my music.


My project list in this order, for as soon as the weather turns warm again.

1.Paint the front doors to match my shutters.
2.Paint & swap rooms.
3.Paint the kitchen cabinets.

After that I am not sure what I am going to do, hopefully the dry wall will be taped & mudded in the living room, then I can paint those rooms. It is really hard once you have your heart set on paint colors, to sit around and wait for work to be done. It is killing me. I just want to get it done.


I watched the movie Click last night, it was very good!! I cried my eyes out!! I also watched tonight, The Green Mile. I havn't seen it since it came out, I forgot how good of a movie that is. I had also forgot how frickin big Michael Clarke Duncan is.


Only 2 more week until Hereos returns!! I can't wait.


Time to hit the hay! Night all!

Fashion Stupid

Hi, my name is Chris and I am fashion stupid.(In the tune of AA)

Anyone & everyone knows that I am not a fashion person, I don't keep up with all the latest trends. It is not that I don't want to, I just can't so. So I just don't worry about the latest fashion craze at all. Recently my sil Paula gave me some jeans that she can't fit in any more with her skinny self. They are hip huggers, or low rise jeans, whichever they are called......anyway these are a first for me. I guess you just have to get used to them, but they feel so weird. I don't feel like I have any tummy control in them. Also I need to where a really big shirt with them, cause my ass is so big that when I bend over I am exposing lots of thong & ass crack!! The first time I put them on, they felt like my stuff was about to fall out, so I bent over and checked myself out in the mirror, I laughed so hard, then when I stood back up again and realized I still had alot of junk hanging out, I laughed even harder. I will either quit wearing them or I will just get used to them. Maybe they are like the flip flops, you just have to get used to the tenderness in between your toes.(I never wore flip flops until a couple of years ago, I had a painful summer getting used to them, but it is all good now)

The group is planning a trip to Mexico in June, all I can say is that the resort looks beautiful, and I hope we get to join all of you guys!)

DONE!!!

That is it I am done with American Idol! In another week or 2 I am sure Melinda will be booted so that little piece of crap can stay! I will pay my money for the pool but I will not watch any more this season or ever again, unless they can come up with a way to regulate the voting process. These little girls who are voting for Mowgli because of his looks (He is not cute!!) don't even realize that he is gay!!! Luckily I have plenty of other shows that I can watch instead. Maybe I will go watch Animal Planet in HD with Dave. At 8 pm tonight (same time as Idol) I could of watched Piranhas.


I am still waiting for my wine rack to be hung, as soon as it is, I will post pics of the shutters & rack.


Peace out!!

New Stuff.........Part II

I bought paint for the shutters and it totally did not come out in color like it was supposed to, my shutters were magenta! Of course Bill was having a fit, so he bought me a small can of black paint yesterday, and I added it and repainted the shutters, so now they are wine colored. Actually they are now the exact color that he bought them as! Let me tell you how happy was about that!! Well at least they are on the house and everyone is happy now, so as soon as the weather warms up again I will be painting both the doors.

The wine rack is not hung up yet, but he did buy the hooks to hang it.

I rearranged the living room yesterday, I think I might actually like it now. Bill does like it, he can see the TV from the dinner table and can control the stereo also from the table now!

Doug has moved out, so now I have to get on the ball and start getting stuff together and bought to make the move to the other side of the house. This time when I go buy paint I will take my husband with me, so I am not buying $36.00 cans of paint. I also have to buy the wire racks to make that small room into a closet. I can't wait, but I have to finish my first project first, which is paint the doors.


I need to get ready for work, so have a great day!!
