I hope that everyone is well and has had a great Valentine's Day, Inauguration,Ground Hog Day, My Sister and husband both had great birthdays.... and everything else I missed.... Including the Octo Mom? Wow... That is a story... Lifetime could not have witten a better version... you think?.....

Anyway, I missed you all and I hope that everyone is well. I will post pictures as soon as I find my camera software.. and figure out how to do it on this pc.
Love each other...

Just a little rambling.... just a little
Yesterday was the last race of the 08 season in Nascar. Jimmy Johnson won the championship for the third year in a row. Only the second person to ever to do it. But it was Tony Stewart's last race with Home Depot. He will be racing for his own team next year sponsored by Office Depot. He is my fav and S's too. So I will have to teach him Office Depot instead of Home Depot.




My new show find is the "Legend of the Seeker". It is very good. It has been on for three weeks and each week it is still as good as the last one. One other thing about it, is that a couple of the actors that we have seen so far are actors that we know from a couple of different Power Rangers series. And around here that holds a LOT of weight. Believe me....

So how is every one's week going so far? It will be busy around here. It seems the the week and a half or so before Thanksgiving is always the busiest. We have early release day, Thanksgiving lunch at school with both kiddies, Thanksgiving dinner another night at school, Dentist appointment for me UGH.... so would rather be anywhere else but there..... anywhere. And don't forget work too. Then my movie on Fridaaaaaay!!! *smiling ear to ear*.

Bless his heart. After a while we didn't have to tell him. He pointed to it when he would start coughing. He knew the difference it would make when he had a treatment.

Hope about that smile would ya ? ..... wow

My boys entertaining themselves while we wait to go back.

The before shot. Nice couch... A little small and not quite family friendly.

The after shot. I *heart* this couch. I really do.
I am still watching the DOW...Opening and Closing. Every. Day.... And we are still getting stung. Every. Day. I am over it..... and, Unfortunately. It is not. Over.Tonight I am going to a survey for a research company. It is for Christian music and morning radio shows in the Atlanta area. I am excited. I love doing these.
We are hoping to hit a pumpkin patch this weekend too. Love, love those... the colors and the photo opps?? Love it : )
Oh Yea...... And it's my birthday on Monday...... I guess that that is a big deal too.. : )
I hope that everyone out there is well. Go do something nice for someone else today.
And VOTE, VOte... vote..... You can do it early you know... beat the rush : )

Sorry everyone. I have been LA-ZY about blogging. Getting back into the school routine and work routine. It has been work. And of course I have been spending quite a lot of time watching this and screaming at the television. Knowing the whole while that because I was screaming that it would help all the athletes win a gold! Ahem....
So I have been here.... just watching this....

Look at that.... You know.... just look....
I love our USA gymnasts. They are awesome. I feel like they got screwed
on the judging. And I am pretty confident that the Chinese girls
are not legal to drive in the United States. Humph...
But with all that said. It has been an amazing Olympics so far. NBC has done a great job. It has been a bit strange not to have Katie Couric in the morning doing all the fun stuff. But it has still been enjoyable.
I have had the chance to watch a movie or two in the last couple of weeks. The one pictured below was really good. It was really well done and the cast did an amazing job. The music.... ahhhh the music. I think I will have to get the soundtrack. The Beatles music .... Paul and John .. the words they wrote ... Well, it if you are a fan, you ought to take the time to watch it. I found it very enjoyable.
Well, I am off today. I have already been to the store and bought groceries. I have on my list today to make baked spaghetti , Asian slaw and homemade Peanut Butter cookies. Then hit carpool with 300,000 other cars... ugh. But then back home. And S?...... S is getting a haircut this evening... One of the Beatles called...... He wants his hair back..... geesh
Ciao.... Rox

OK, I am really back and it is late. I will try to post tomorrow. Got the laptop back today. It is running smoothly. So maybe the kinks are out (fingers crossed).
July 4th tomorrow! Parade. Cooking out. Fireworks. Lots to do! I will do my best to get a post up!
Wowsie wow wow. I missed you guys! It is SOOOO good to be back online. you don't realize how much you depend on this silly thing till you don't have it.
Good thing I had some way cool reading to keep me busy while it was gone.
More on that tomorrow : )
Sleep tight virtual friends....

That picture makes me forget..
So. how was every one's weekend? It was good here. Lots to ramble about today. Let's see. First, I joined a group online to help me learn more about digital scrapbooking. They were the most welcoming bunch I have been around in a long time. And I have already learned a lot.
Loving digital scrapbooking right now!
I found out about this a while back but have not posted about it yet. I am so excited that this show is coming back to the air. Slated for January of '09 . I Love me some Electric Company.
I watched this when I was little. My loving movies the way I do. This was my introduction to Morgan Freeman. One THE best actors of our time. He started out on Public Television. As well as Rita Moreno and Joan Rivers of all people. Who knew? I remember them on The Electric Company.

I put this on here, Well, just because.... I mean, why not? Look at those biceps..... Have you ever? I can't explain... no need to... Just take a minute and look. Go ahead I will be here... looking too. Go on ...Go
Faith Hill..... That beautiful, lucky Heifer..
Whew. Now don't you feel better? Don't you have a better outlook today because of it. And the thing is... If you want to come back and look again? He will be right here.. Don't worry.
OK, on one last note. My laptop is going to the hospital tomorrow. It needs a little bit of work done. I mean , right now I could be a joke in a "You Might be a Redneck if" book. I am working on my laptop and I have my big ol monitor hooked up to it, because the screen on the laptop is nothing but a shadow. Cute huh? (and the DVD burner isn't working) I am told, and very hopeful that, it will be well by Thursday or Friday... Saturday at the latest. So, I will not be online much. I will check email at my hubby's work. And am encouraged that I will not go into DT's without it. Gee.... I may have to read a book or cook a meal or Heavens....WRITE a letter? No, no, Say it ain't so?!?
I really am hoping for Thursday... fingers crossed
Go hug your kids....

Still recuperating. Trying to keep the kiddos entertained, while M rests. He has been up and around. He is eating a good bit. You know, mashed potatoes, jello, eggs, milkshakes, popsicles, etc. But all in all he is really doing well.
On the other hand there is a problem uploading pictures from the camera to the pc. Geez... I'll swear it's always something :). The pc just won't prompt to add the pictures... You internets have any ideas?
So, with that little problem here are a couple of pics from a few weeks ago. They really need to be photoshopped but I don't feel like it today : )
Let me hear from you....


I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
Smile at someone today... : )

K., Peanut and Shonda
"Peanut" has a new spring outfit. a pink top with rhinestones and a cute little denim skirt and pink flip flops with a rhinestone. Oh, and a new pink collar with rhinestones. Can you see a pattern going on here? That little doggie, would be her webkinz she got for Christmas that she named Shonda. She also got bows for both of them. I 'll tell you what.... she LOVES that Peanut.
S and his new Green PR (that turns into an elephant?) and his Bionicle.
Well, we couldn't very well get K something without getting S something. He is ALL about the Power Rangers right now. We play the game, we watch the show, he has PR pajamas. His favorite color is green so it makes perfect sense that he wanted the green Power Ranger. We found it at Target( one of my favorite stores on the planet). He loves, he sleeps with it, he takes a bath with it.
All is well here on Brentwood Drive....
Hope all is well on your street too....
Check back in tomorrow.
Ciao!

So, I am glad it is Wednesday.. Even happier that it one day closer to Friday. How is your week going? K. came home with a cold today. I knew it was coming...she sneezed all last evening. Bless her heart. (we say that a lot down here in the South) Bless her heart.... God Bless her.... God love her...
Anyway, I get side tracked.. I actually made --well covered a notebook for myself to take to church. Often times I want to take notes or write down something witty that Andy says and of course I don't bring my purse in... or all I have to write on is a gum wrapper or the outside of my coffee cup, or my hand.... you know.. So, I thought I would make a cute, catchy, little matchy thing to go with my Bible......

And here is a a VERY, very cute little bookmark my very good friend Chauveen made me for Christmas.. It is wide Orange ribbon... It was very much appreciated. I know it was hard for her to commit to doing this project .... because you see.... she, is a rabid BAMA fan.... So far.... that is the only flaw I can find : ) Love you Chauveeners! : ) Love my Bookmark!

I looked through all my paper... trying to find something with Orange in it that was not too shocking. Afterall, I would be taking it to church.....but then again... it is my book and really I am the only one that should find it pleasing to the eye...right? : ) Anyway, here is what I came up with.... It is three different pieces of paper. I cut around the flowers on the more solid paper and adhered them to the polka dot paper. The bible verse is on a piece of vellum. This is the front.
This is the back.
It was very simple and I do like it very much. I also put paper on the inside covers and I think I am going to adhere some pictures in there too along with some more verses that I love. If you have any questions or need more details or pics on the construction please let me know. It is not time consuming but it is very fulfilling.... Much like quick fix cheesecake or cookie dough out of the tube... Did I just say that out loud? Shut up.....
Oh yea, this is what K was creating while I was creating : ) Kind of a heart thingy with floppy ears?? I thought it was cute.....

Till Later Peeps...
Keep it between the ditches out there on that information highway....

Gee Whiz....... Guesssss what I am having trouble with..... A-Gain?!?!? This silly computer..... From the ICE -AGE! No new pictures will upload. Not even one. Not happy, I'm not. That would be why there have been no new posts in the past few days. Oh, I have written them mind you. But there are all in draft land waiting to be published with all the other pieces of great literary work out there. Hummph!
But, alas...... Help. Is. On. The. Way. My knight in shining armour, Well, the shiny armour being in the form of (think Wonder Twin Powers ---- Activate!!!) a shiny laptop... What? What's that you say? Your afraid that you misunderstood me? Well, let me say it again... a bit more slowly.... Laaaaap Toooop... There, did ya get it? Yeppers! Needless to say that I am a very happy gaaa-irl.
This is my Dad August 16, 1942.
This is my Dad and his buddy Gilbert circa 1942 on the steps at the Capitol building in Montgomery, AL.
Told you it was really old school......... : )
I hope that all of you are having a wonderful weekend.Till Later......
