Memorial Day Weekend

Saturday : I went to the store to get dog food, and while I was there, the store was having an aweome sale on hamburger patties for $1.49 a lb, for 8 patties! I had to, so I did, and grilled out and we invited his parents over for the grilling. I made some cupcakes in a jar, I saw the idea on Simply Modern Mom, but I used bigger jars instead of the 8 oz jars she used, I used quart jars {I didn't think it would matter} and I also used a jumbo muffin tin to make the cupcakes... It was ALOT of deliciousness in 1 jar!! Loved it! Maybe I'll go get some smaller jars for next time. We ended up giving some away, like we gave 1 to Smitty & Polo, it really is a dessert you should share, like I said, it was ALOT! While making the cupcakes, you have to add oil, I had already made a batch, and I asked Shark to help me make the next batch, and he shook the oil {Heather puts her cooking oil in the fridge} and the lid was not on all the way, and it spilled all over him!
I made some Red, White, & Blue cupcakes! They look more like blue and pink cupcakes, which would be great for a baby shower!! ;) {No that is NOT a hint!} I was just saying they would be cute as take-home gifts for a baby shower... maybe I'll have to put this on my list of things to do when that day comes.

POTD for 5.29.10 is : The mess we made with the cupcake in a jar.

Sunday : Just hanging with the hubby. We never got in the truck at all! It was awesome! So, The POTD for 5.30.10 is : our toes, cuz we're that lazy, we stayed in our PJ's all day!!

Monday : Fishing all day! It was great!

POTD for 5.31.01 is : Shark fishing, with the beautiful landscape!!

Love to all who love this amazing Country! ♥

Blaze and dogs

Today, I woke up when Shark woke up for work. Yeah, at 5:30! ugh! I could NOT go back to sleep for te life of me. So I sat up and played on my phone for a while, then I went back to sleep, only to have some CRAZY dreams for another hour, and then I finally woke up. I took Bandit to his vet appointment today, he was so calm and good for the doctor. They all commented on how well behaved he was. {I told them it was cuz last time he went to the vet, they knocked him out to stitch his leg, or how about everytime we take him they have to put a thermometer in his butt!} He didn't even take the dog treat they gave him at the beginning! He's a pretty cute dog. There was another dog there, and they didn't have him vaccinated, and they said to keep Bandit away cuz they don't want to get our little dog sick, I chuckled and said "Oh, he has all his vaccines, he's over a year old." He's just so small! He also looks like he has to grow some more, his paws are big and he looks like he's a young pup. But he's full grown. I think he's a little dog, but according to weight charts, he's a large dog. :)

While I was at the PetSmart, I picked up some fishes for the turtle. I got 20 of them for him, hopefully he'll stay in his dang tank this week!!! So, when I left, Chomps was chowing on some fishes, it shouldn't be that hard for him today, he's got nothing in his tank {but a big rock} to hinder him. We took everything out of the tank so he stomps climbing out!

Well, after PetSmart, I took some CD's out to Shark's work. While I was there, Shark told me that Paul would have his wirehair at the Abatement. So Bandit and Shadow were running around all over the place. Bandit's favorite game is chase, so when Shadow had the ball and was running away with it, Bandit was having the time of his life. I bought Bandit a new ball from PetSmart {he looked so sad when the dr was checking him out....} and I was throwing the ball around for Bandit and Shadow, and they ran and ran and ran! After a while, I noticed there were spots of blood on the ground. I was checking the feet, and the pads on my little dog's feet were shredded! So, I took him home, and was thinking of a way to make sure no blood got on Steve & Heather's floor. Then I got an idea! Diapers!

So, this is what my little dog looked like. 3 of his paws were bleeding, he had ground his nails down to his paws, and the pads on his feet were shredded. But only 2 of his feet were still bad and bleeding when we got home. he walked so funny, like he was trying to shake off the diapers with each step! I left to get dog food, and by the time I came back, the Bandit had chewed off the front diaper, go figure. I checked his foot, he was fine.

I went to a Utah Blaze game tonight. The Utah Blaze is an AFL team, but they recently got bought by a new company, because the AFL was going under, so all games ceased, and we're lucky our team got bought and the new owner is keeping the same name and place, we're glad the Blaze are still in Utah!! The game was awesome! I loved it! I was so close to getting a shirt, it was falling right at me, and I reached up to snag it, and someone else got a finger on it, and it got knocked off course. So close... Oh well! It was still lots of fun!

After the game, we went to Olive Garden, cuz me and Dave were starving. We bought Shark some food, and got a to-go box. He ate all of it! And said it was delicious!

POTD for 5.28.10 is : Blaze football!

Love to all who love their pets and love them some sports!!

Flowers

So, I woke up this morning, all ready to start my day, and with a new idea to boot! I went upstairs cuz I heard Heather moving around, she's getting ready for their trip this weekend, and I put Whitney in the high chair {Whit likes the high chair cuz she can see everything that's going on.} and started telling Heather about my idea. Heather's looking for crafts to do this weekend. I gave her some ideas. I told her about my Valentine's Day wreath, the heart Shark made out of a coat hanger, and then I tied fabric around it. I said she could do something like that but with letters. I gave her some cute little easy ideas too. Then, as Heather was finishing cleaning up, Whitney started bawling big time, so I swaddled her in a blanket, popped her binkie in her mouth and started walking up and down the hallway. {The dogs followed me for a while, just making circles with me.} Pretty soon, little Whitney was asleep, I put her in her crib, and hung out with Heather for a little while more, then went in to work.

I checked some of my friends on Facebook, and found out that EVERYBODY is having babies!! My friends from high school, my friends from the single's ward, Shark's friends, my friends from CO, EVERYBODY!! I know I can't complain too much, Shark and I have only been trying for a month or so, so really, it's no big deal. But what kinda sucks is, when you finally make a decision, and you have to wait for it to happen. Like babies, Shark and I decided, "Ok, it's time to start our family, time to have kids, now all we have to do is wait." It was just like when we decided to move. We had actually decided to move back to Utah in October or around then {something happened at work, and I decided that was it for me} and we had decided to move back in June, when the lease was up, and it just seemed like a good plan. Well, the wait from October to June sounded awful! {But things happened in such a way that we moved 6 months earlier!} But it was once we had made the decision, I wanted it to happen RIGHT away! Instant reply, instant gratification, I wanted action right then and there. And that's how I feel about this baby decision. Kinda. Sometimes I feel like I am totally ready to have kids [today walking Whitney to sleep was onetime] and somtimes I feel like I should just wait another 5 years.

When I got home, I noticed that my little potted lilies have bloomed!! I love it! POTD for 5.27.10 is : my flowers.

Love to all those who love to see something good come from something they did!!

Get your sport on

One thing I would like to do with this blog, is make it more personal for our family. I know I'm posting everyday about what goes on, and also a POTD, which makes it fun, but I want to share personal thoughts and ideas about our life. I don't know if I'm making sense, because the blog IS personal, but lately I've been just posting about the POTD and that's it. The thing is, all either of us really do is work. I haven't really had alot of time to craft or really get anything done. Sorta. I've had a little bit of time, but not enough to get things to get finished. I want to share everything that happens with us. Granted, I've been doing that, but I feel like the blog has been just POTD's and "Oh hey, we worked today. Goonight." I'd like to share more about our life together, with out little dog, than just work. I'm still planning on crafting, cuz I have to craft, but I'll be writing about more than just crafts, work and sleeping.

Our little dog has been looking so sad at us lately. We haven't done anything with him. Monday he was sniffing at the bathroom door, and scratching at it. And Heather asked me what Bandit wants in the bathroom? I opened the door and Bandit walked in, looked in the tub, sniffed at it, and looked at me, as if to say : Where's the Boy? I walked over and scratched his butt and sat down on the sofa and petted him for a while. I feel bad that he's been lonely at the house lately, it doesn't help that if I would get up earlier, I could take him for a walk, but I'm just lazy... I really want to take him for a walk every weekend, he needs it. M-W-F I've been working late cuz I scorekeep/supervise those days. And when I get home after work on Tues/Thursday, all I want to do is craft or wind down and play Nintendo. I'm going to try to make a better effort to give my little dog attention. He is MY dog, I made Shark drive to Arizona with me to get him, I wanted him, he really is mine. I feel bad that I don't spend enough time with him.

Also, I need to clean, badly. Our little living space looks awful. I need to clean the bathroom... Ugh, this is turning into a list of things to do.

I found a blog today that made me cry.... It's called No Greater Gift, and I fell in love with it because her little boy Charlie just went thru open heart surgery. And let me tell you, he is THE cutest little guy!! The blog is by his mom E, and E posted some pictures of his surgery, and all that he went thru. It brought memories around, of pictures from my first one, and instantly brought memories from my surgery last year. I think it is amazing how close everyone really is, how connected we really are. It's also kinda funny how I found E's blog. I went to U-Create, and clicked on a link to Under the Table and Dreaming, where I clicked on a Link-Up to No Greater Gift {#14 link}, on NGG, E has pictures of her little man with the "Zipper" scar, instantly I dove deeper to find out more! I love feeling connected to people, to be able to share things with people.

Today is starting out overcast, cloudy, threatening rain.... But no rail dropped on our games. Steve and Heather were are the softball complex, Steve played with his team at 8 or so. Steve got my camera back from Brian {I left it in his car about a month or so ago!} I got home around 10 or so, and snuggle right in with Shark. We have turned Steve & Heather into gamers, they were up playing Super Mario Galaxy. They're pretty funny!

POTD for 5.26.20 is : my camera! I am so happy to have it back! yayayay!

Love to all who live life and love it.

Blah Bleh

Today is nothing special at all. Really. Just work, registering people, making stickers. I even brought some stickers to make at work, I got those done before lunch!

Today Shark is fogging tonight, so I am going over to the parent's house to catch up on LOST. I got mostly caught up, all I have left to watch is the Finale. I'll watch that one later I guess. BUT - Shark found out the ending on the radio Monday morning, I had to promise him NOT to tell me! I've heard little things, but general things, so no giveaways.

While watching LOST, I had to do something, so I crafted. I made a Photo Rubiks Cube for my sister. I needed something to do, or else I bite my fingernails. I like making things, and I had really wanted to make a Rubik cube for my sister's wedding. I'm glad I got it done.

Shark was fogging in Clinton tonight, and our truck got fogged by his buddy Pickup, I told him to give Pickup some crap about fogging our truck.

POTD for 5.25.10 is : the Rubiks cube I made for my sister.

Love to all who are addicted to some TV show or another.... The Office, Big Bang Theory, Community, LOST, Burn Notice.....

Rain out!

So I got into work today, and I had to update the rainout number, because all games are cancelled for today, it is supposed to rain all day. Which is odd, cuz it's sunny right now, at noon....

But we got everybody called and informed. Today was a day of answering phones and getting people registered for summer programs. Just like every other day. :) It was a good day.

I got home, after my Clinician training {I'm learning as much as I can, today I was learning how to teach T-ball...} and I sat down and started playing Mario Galaxy 2. I love that game. It's pretty sure the best game ever. :) Shark came home, and I was still playing, I played until he went in to be bed and Bandit started crawling all over me. Then I stopped... I trully am a nerd.

POTD for 5.24.2010 is : T-Ball stuff. Woot woot!

Love to all who work ♥

Mario on Sunday

We got Super Mario 2 yesterday. We played a little yesterday before hanging out with Smitty & Polo, Smitty was a little late getting home. And today we played lots and lots. We played before church, and then when I got home from church, I played lots! I love that game!

We played Pictionary Man with Heather & Steve. Little Whitney is a little dare-devil. She was in her swing, and I would hold the swing up on the side, and she would just giggle. She is such a cute little baby! The game was pretty fun, we enjoyed playing a family game with Steve & Heather. I think Shark and I counted it as FHE, becuase we played a game, and made a treat - PIZZA!

Shark and I made a pizza together, we put pepperoni, mushrooms and tons of cheese on it! All I got was a before picture, Shark ate it too fast for me to get an after picture. I love the pizzas we make, with the mushrooms and the pepperoni. Mmmhmmm! We added tons and tons of cheese. :)

POTD for 5.23.10 is : our amazing looking pizza!

Love to all who like hanging with family. ♥

Robin Hood And Bowling

We went and watching Robin Hood with the parents.

I also created 1 of my useful crafts! It's my useful craft for May!! I made a Tipsy Planter. I saw this planter on a blog I stalk called Dollar Store Crafts, it's pretty much the best thing ever. I know I don't even have a house, but I wanted to make this planter for my SIL, cuz she likes cute things. So, I set out today to make this. After a while, it didn't seem like I would be able to accomplish my goal, with all the hanging out we were doing with everybody.... Plus, my Super Mario Galaxy 2 came today, I had to put it away in order to get this planter done. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to crack it open and get some gaming in. It's a little wobbly looking, but still way cute. I put a bunch of cute little pinwheels in the pots, it adds lots of color!! :)

We went bowling with Smitty & Polo. Shark and I found a photo-booth, and it is one of my goals {#98} to get a photobooth picture taken each month. Well, we found one at the bowling alley. And of course had to get some taken! Bowling was fun, but surprisingly expensive. We bowled for an hour, we got in 2 games. I totally rocked the 2nd game, I got 132!! Awesome. I'm usually awful at bowling.

POTD for 5.22.10 is : Our photobooth pictures. Mainly, the one on the bottom : Smitty's creeper eyes coming into the picture. I do love Shark's laugh in the 3rd one....

Love to those who laugh and laugh and laugh! ♥

Temple

Today, Shark woke up at the butt-crack of dawn, not unusual, just odd cuz today is Friday, he doesn't work at the abatement on Fridays.... But him and Steve were going to go fishing. Shark came home around 7:30 cuz the gate was closed on his fishing place... So we slept in until around 9:30 when we both jumped out of bed (ok, rolled out of bed) to get ready to go the temple. {Goal #12 : Go to the Temple at least once per month} and we made it to the Bountiful temple. There were all kinds of weddings going on today, which is always nice to go see... It reminds me of our day. ♥

Here's a picture of the Bountiful temple, I took this snapshot while standing in the middle of the road, and with my phone. And the flowers lining the "driveway" were absolutely gorgeous. There were 2 kinds I loved, tulips that looked like venus-fly-traps (they looked like they had teeth) <--- POTD.

And some red and white tulips.

POTD for 5.21.10 is : Temple flowers!! Look how awesome these are!

So far so good! Today has been a great day! I was a scorekeeper and supervisor for boys baseball tonight. The frist 2 games went off without a hitch, we had some coach come up and ask when we would cancel once it started to rain. I told him what I knew : We only cancel due to lightning and a dangerous infield. If there is NO lightning, then we continue playing until the infield becomes too slick and unsafe for the kids. We got about half way thru the 3rd game when the infield became too slick, so we postponed the end of that one. Shark came over to see me and his mom after work.

Love to all who love beautiful things ♥

Jam to Tunes

So, with my unlimited web pack, I uploaded the Pandora radio app {go to Pandora to get it on your computer!!} and when I wake up I put on one of my stations {Paramore, Jack Johnson, or Weezer} and jam out, and dance my way to get ready. It's been pretty fun in the morning.

Lately, I have been wanting some Bermuda shorts.... I've little chicken legs, popsicle stick legs, what ever you want to call them, but I have come to discover {I've known for a long time actually} that my legs do NOT look good in shorts of any kind. But I still want some bermudas, so maybe I'll go to the DI tonight, to go drop off some stuff, and get some frames {yes, another Idea!!} and I'll pick up a pair of shorts.  Which reminds me, I also need to get a jumbo muffin tin, Wal-Mart did NOT have any!!

I've been putting ringtones and little sounds on my phone. My text message alert is the Autobot sound. Gwen's song is : Achemed the Dead Terrorist saying "Silence... I kill you" Tim's is The Doom song from Invader Zim, my mom and dad's ring is : the Pink Panther, Shark's ring is Weezer "I want you to" My In-Law's ring is The Big Bang Theory song. :) I've got more ringtones, so as people call, I'll get them their own.... My general ringtone is The Office theme.

Well - work was good today. Shark is fogging tonight, so it's just me! I'm making my craft, you know, the one with the paper that I cut..... Well, since I have to do 2 things at once, and my phone can only last so long when I listen to music on it, I put in a movie. {I recently bought Seven Pounds off the internet, I liked the movie quite a bit, it hit a little close to home when we watched it the first time (the main female character, Rosairo Dawson, has congenital heart failure) so I figured it would be a while before we watched it again...} But I heard a noise when I started watching the movie, and I thought it was Bandit. When the movie was done, I was getting ready for bed, and I went into the bathroom to take my contacts out, and I went in to fix the filter for the turtle tank, and I looked and there was NO TURTLE!! I jumped out of the bathroom, and called Shark. I took Bandit in there to try to sniff Chomps out, no luck. Finally, I was looking on the shelf, to see where he could have gone, there was no water on the floor... and nothing on the shelf was tipped over. I got to the end of the shelf, and THERE! Peeking at me over the washclothes, was Chomps! I got a utitlity glove from the toolbox, swatted him with a washcloth (he ducked his head back into his shell) and picked him up and dropped him back in his tank! I called Shark again, and he laughed and said that was a good plan of attack and that I'm very brave for grabbing the turtle that wants to eat my fingers... :)

POTD for 5.20.10 is : Chomps hanging out by the washcloths!! Look at those claws, I don't want that thing lose in the basement!!

Love to all who have lost something and they were scared... ♥

Making stuff!!

So I was looking at some craft blogs and I got all kinds of cute ideas popping into my head. I saw one idea from Sister's Stuff. And I started cutting paper and getting ready to make a new project! I'm so excited to get this project going. :) There are tons of cute blogs around that I love getting ideas from. Trust me, there are tons of cute things in my "queue" and believe me, I wish I could just go and get it all done, but I have no money to make all my stuff, and no time!

POTD for 5.19.10 is : my paper all cut and ready to be created into a project!!

This project is going to be way cute {if it turns out the way I see it in my head!} and I'm way excited to make this.

Nothing really major has been going on. Just work for both me and Shark. I got trained to be a scorekeeper for baseball at the park next to the city building. And this week, they are going to make me a supervisor over baseball, well, one of them. So that's pretty awesome. It's been raining lots here, so games have been cancelled quite a bit. But we're hoping to get out there and play some games. I've also had some evenings to go home and make dinner. I still love cooking, but with games starting at 5 and going almost 'till 10:30pm, I hardly have time to eat, which is awful for me, I love food!!!

Love to all who LOVE making cute things!!

Fish Fry!

Today there was a fish fry for the City's fishing club. I went to help out with that, and the food was great! It had been raining off and on all day, but there was a break in the rain long enough to get the grill going and to deep fry some catfish.

Some ducks are the park. As soon as we set up the food, these ducks charged the table, they know what food is, and they know they get fed if they come around.

POTD for 5.18.10 is : a Pelican and a Crane at the pond! (these pics were taking with my phone!)

Love to all who love getting out!!

SMRT phone

I got a new phone today. Shark bought it for me, and I love it! It's a Samsung Behold II, it's a smart phone, a touchphone, with 3G! It's freaking amazing! I get my email, my Tweets, my facebook, my bank account, all on this phone. I love it! I had to sign up for the data package, but that's fine with me. It's an unlimited package, so I have been rocking out to Pandora online radio. I've checked my bank account (I have one now, well, WE have one now.) I love how I can text both verticaly and horizontally, the orientation changes, and I love it. I put the scriptures on it, and I've got games, and the camera is a 5.0 MP, with a FLASH!! How awesome!!

Front and back

POTD for 5.17.10 is : my phone in my hand!

Love to all who love NEW stuff!!

walking the doggies

Michelle - You can read my blog ONCE you get a package from Angie. She is under orders to give you something. Also, you have to give her your "list" of pregnant ladies... because I don't know all of them. But she knows more about that. Once you get your package, you can read my blog thru and thru!!

So, Shark and I have tried to go to a Young Married Ward, we were shot down. They have dissolved the YMW in Ogden (maybe all of UTAH!!) and requested the young familes go to the ward in their boundaries, those wards need the talent and youth that these familes have to offer. So, we are going to Steve & Heather's ward. They have church at 1! It's so nice to be at late church again. However, I can't really sleep past 10 or so... If I do, I usually end up with a headache at night... And, since I have a goal to walk the Bandit every weekend, we have decided to walk the dogs before church on Sunday. There is a park that is 2 blocks from the house, with a walking track, drinking fountain, and plenty of trees for shade. We brought some tennis balls, and we threw them all over the place. The dogs were worn out by the time we got half way around the park. Shark and I had a good time walking around with eachother and hanging out. :)

When I got home, I was snapping pictures with the puppy, and I got this one!

POTD for 5.16.10 is : me and the Bandit.

Love to all who love doing things with other people. ♥

boating already

So, today, we went boating. It was alot of fun. We went with Shark's friend Nate, Nate's brother, Kurt, Steve & Heather & Whitney, and Shark's co-worker Tyler. It was pretty fun, me, Heather & Steve & Whitney were in the Dad's boat, and Tyler, Shark, Kurt and Nate & Bro were in Nate's boat. The boys wakeboarded from Nate's boat, while we drove around the water. I got to drive the boat and it was lots of fun! It was nice to get out on the water and hang out on the boat.

When we got home, Steve & Heather had some plans, so Shark and I stayed it, ate a pizza and watched a movie. I organized some shelves in our room. Before we watched the movie, Shark hung up the bathroom fixtures {like a towel rack, a towel ring, and some hooks!} and I stitched some onesies, again for friends!

I made it look better than it was....

POTD for 5.15.10 is : onesies I made, I made these ones super cute, meaning : I stitched on 'em!!

Love to all who try to make things better... ♥

Snooze Friday

So today, Shark doesn't have to work until 5! Which means we get to sleep in! I'm so happy that we finally get to sleep ing and cuddle! Since Friday is HIS day, he decided to go play raquetball with some friends. Which is fine, cuz I like sleeping in more than eating {Ok, maybe, not that much...... but it's close!} When I rolled out of bed (around 10 or so) I got ready and then ran to Wal-Mart, but of course, just as I was heading out, Shark got home from playing. He took a bath while I was shopping. And then, once I got home, and I woke him up, we went to America First. We finally got me on his account, and we even asked a lady about a mortage loan... we're not sure we're ready fot that yet, but it doesn't hurt to ask. We needed me to be on his account, because last week I ended my 5 year relationship {very rocky relationship} with Wells Fargo. Cleaned the slate, dumped them, cut the strings, threw their stuff out the window... You know. So I need somewhere I can cash my checks, my name on some account. So that got taken care of! But it was soo good to sleep in with my hubby!

After I got home from work, I watched some of my movies. (I still get the Blockbuster Total Access.) And I crafted. I put the finishing touches on the Brag Books I've been making for some friends. I found the tutorial from eighteen25!

POTD for 5.14.10 is : my way cute albums!! I think they turned out way freaking cute!!

Love to all who like doing things for others.... ♥

300 and hungry

So this is my 300th post!! So excited! It's freaking crazy! I can't believe this is the 300th post, I have written so much! How have you all read this?!

I have been hungry all day! I was hungry all day yesterday, and I ate a ton!! I ate breakfast yesterday, I had boneless BBQ wings and a bacon deluxe single combo from Wendy's, and then I had Shark bring me a KFC Bowl while on his way home from work. I ate all day! But I was still hungry! And even today, I'm starving!! I've eaten lots, and I'm still starving!! I have no idea what's happening!! I have been starving, and all I can do is eat and eat and eat!!

I got my eyes checked today. My sight has gotten worse, the Dr. said. Worse?! I got the glasses to have it get better!! But, I ordered my contacts and they should be in in about a week. I went to the eye doc in the Target, so I walked around the Target and bought some food for the weekend and next week. So I'm hoping to get some food in the works. I also need to get cracking on making a dessert for this month.

I've been working lots with the Cricut, and figuring new stuff out with it, and cutting all kinds of stuff. Hopefully I'll be showing you what I've got. I'm also hoping to get the Esty store up with a few things. I've been making some more things for it, I just need to finish them and post them. I also need to get set up with FedEx so I can ship the stuff. (I hear FedEx is the cheapest!!)

POTD for 5.13.10 is : Our dart guns! I bought some dart guns from the $1 section in Target, and had a "war" with Shark once he got home. I totally killed him, at least twice, but he killed me at least 3 times... So technically he won...

Love to all who love Target, for no particular reason.

movies and crafts

So I bought a birthday calendar off ebay. The calendar was great! But I got impatient, and started decorating it like a 3 year old. Seriously, I got out my stickers and my markers and made it look like I decorated it in 1st grade! I was so sad that my cute little birthday calendar was ruined and it was all my fault. So... I bought another one from the the same seller off ebay... {She must wonder what I'm doing!} And this time, I did it right! I printed off words and little pictures off my Cricut (my own sticker machine!!) and when I got my new birthday calendar in the mail (yesterday) I started putting the new awesome stickers on!

And I think it turned out cute! Now just to add all the birthdays!!

So, I bought all those movies the other day. And we started watching them. Not just 1 of them, but like all of them! We watched Chaos Theory last night, and it really was pretty good! I liked it! Ryan Reynolds is in it, and he plays this OCD guy who has his life made into lists. If it's not on his list, he doesn't do it, he doesn't have time. One day his wife turned the clock ahead (thinking she gave him 10 more minutes, instead she gave him 10 less minutes) and his whole day goes wrong and everything starts to fall apart! It's a pretty good movie.

POTD for 5.12.10 is : 3 pages of my birthday calendar.

love to all who take risks - like buy movies without seeing them.

Making something AWESOME

Happy birthday Alexa! My little sister turns 16 today! So excited! Hope you have an amazing day!!

Well - Today was a good day. I got a whole lot done today. I even got my mobile Twitter and Facebook to work!! Cha!!! I'm all kinds of rocking the mobility! Well, today, Shark called on his way to FedEx, he asked me if I wanted to go over to the Smitty's and torch some creme brule! I'm all for that!  So, I went over there around 7pm, and got the jist of how to make it, Polo and Smitty showed me how, and after we put it in the fridge to set FOR HOURS, we watched Taken {with Liam Neeson} and Shark got off work and came over. When the movie was done, Smitty got out the blow torch and we scorched the tops of the creme brule! It was so fun! Even Shark got into and torched his own!!

So, now that I know how to make it and where to get the recipe, now all I need to do is : 1) get little ceramic ramekins {Tai Pan for $1.50}, get a cooking torch {No idea...} and get making!!

POTD for 5.11.2010 : me torching some food!

Love to all who have dreams come true! {I set fire to food!!}

Sleeping

So I woke up at 3 am with a head splitting head ache. Ugh, it hurt so bad. All I could do was try to rub it to make it better {NO LUCK!} and then my awesome amazing husband rolls over, and asks me what's wrong. I tell him, "My skull is trying to get out of my head!" to which he replies, "You can go take some NyQuil and snuggle into me." It worked. I fell back asleep, and I woke up off and on until around 2. Then I went into work. I have such an amazing husband. And I repeat what Amy {Moose} said, everybody's husband are THE best, but mine {our own husbands} is MY best, and MY wonderful husband.

So, today, I took over a gift to some friends. My friend Deven's wife {Mackenzie} just had their little girl Adelaide Lyla! I love the name! And I was going thru some blogs for ideas of what to give them. And I came across this picture frame with just glass, it had the child's name, birthday, where she was born, and parent's name, around the song I am a Child of God.! It was so cute! and you know what? I don't think I got a picture of it!! Good Heavens! I might just have to have Deven take a picture... I'll have to go thru my many many pictures and see if I can find something. But in heading out to Roy, UT, I drove past that Blockbuster that is going out of business. It's the last 6 days, and all the movies are $3.99 or less.... So I HAD TO STOP!!

POTD for 5.10.2010 is : I got 10 movies. {I know there are only 9 in the picture... 1 {vedy vedy mysteridously}disappeared.... But they all still count towards my 101 in 1001!! Yayay!

Love to all who are accomplishing something {being alive counts!}

Mom's Day!!

So, today is Mother's Day. I'm not a mom, but I have a mom, and my husband has a mom. And I'm hoping to be a mom. BUT - It doesn't mean that I can't get stuff for Mother's Day!! Shark got me flowers!
And then he got me my own hand-knitted hat, a lesson, some crochet needles, and Snickers (he said, "I know your hungry, so why wait?")
He got me THE cutest card ever! {It says : "She looked at him, He looked at her. And everyone who saw that look wanted to throw up a little." It's perfect!}
Here is our first lesson, and it resulted in this! It took me a while to figure out how to do a Pearl, the Knit I had down... I was just doing it somehow backwards, which made my Pearls look like Knits....
When we drove over to the parent's house, Bandit and Trigger were in the back, and Bandit is so lazy! He puts his head on the very edge of the toolbox, and lets his ears blow in the wind. Such a cute little pup!!
Today's POTD is : Bandit laying on my blanket! I took the Down cover off to make the bed, and immediately, Bandit claimed it as his.
LOVE to all mothers. You are Awesome!! ♥

I am Ironman

So, today Shark went huntin at 5am (remember I'm not a morning person!) and then Bandit was awake and all excited cuz Shark put on his hunting pants. Well, it took Bandit about an hour to settle down and go back to sleep. I woke up at 8am anyways, and tried really hard to go back to sleep. I did, until around 10. Then I woke up for good, and took my little dog to Home Depot and PetSmart. (They let dogs into the Depot, which I am happy about.) Bandit did NOT like being in the cart at all, and jumped out of it as soon as it starter moving. So we walked into the Depot. I picked up my checks from the training I did, and stopped to check out the Oops! Paint. No luck in finding any color worth painting (all beige or pink...) so Bandit and I ran over to PetSmart. That is a store that Bandit can go in no matter what. :) We picked out a new collar for him, I couldn't find his old one anywhere I looked (the parent's house, our house, the room) so I just bought him a new one. And while we were there, I bought some more feeder fishes for the turtle. He loves fishes. And the fish are cheaper at PetSmart than at Wal-Mart. And then we went home. Shark got home around 1pm. Then we went to see Iron Man 2! We went with the whole family, for Mother's Day. It was a great movie. I liked it alot. (If you go see it, watch all the way past the credits!! It leads into another movie!) Then we went to The Pizza Factory for food. Shark and I rode the motorcycle. It was fun, but I freaked out at every turn. I like the Motorcycle salute. All cyclists salute eachother when passing, I think it's pretty cool.

POTD for 5.8.2010 is : Bandit's new collar!! Look how masculine he looks!!

LOVE to all who love movies ♥
