dream job

i seriously found my dream job via la boom!

ho hum its only wednesday????

taken sept 30, 2010 in the afternoon

1. i'm trying to get motivated and clean the house- i know, its a daily fight. [i need to scrub the tubs!]

2. at dinner last night one of the ladies said she doesn't clean her toilets on a regular basis. like it can go for a few weeks, maybe even a month. i said ewww!

3. so how often does one clean their house? toilets get scrubbed twice a week, sometimes 3. sweeping the floors around here is a different story. hope this doesn't gross anyone out that visits!

4. while i was at mom's dinner out last night, mike + kaylee went bowling. i don't know why he couldn't just stay home.

5. my oldest niece invited me to join her at her school on friday. i want to be the cool aunt so i need to find out if i can bring some adam's cake cupcakes for her class or something.

6. mike said to quit worrying about his job. nothings going to happen so i'm going to stop. sort of.

7. this week seems to be going by really slowly. its only wednesday?

8. can't wait to see what she did for her son's birthday party. she will be posting it here soon.

9. can't wait to finally get my emersonmade belt. it ships out on the 15th. hope it fits too! did i tell you i got for half off? yep. love the internet for that reason.

10. and i ordered these for kaylee's birthday party. i signed up for her newsletter and she gave a special sale to those who were on her emailing list.

i can smell! [and taste food]

cool leaning tree by our pond

1. went walking by the tree today. it probably wont be there much longer. looks like beavers are attacking it. poor tree.

2. the very cool chantale asked what kind of camera i used awhile ago. its a nikon d40x. i've used lots of canon point and shoots but started reading many reviews.

3. went to best buy to feel them up so to speak. with a canon in one and nikon in the other, i liked how the nikon felt and it looked very simple to use.

4. not too busy of a day. waited on our lawn guys to close down the sprinklers, grocery shopped then came home and ate a late lunch.

5. while heating up lunch i ate a pickle and guess what?! it tasted like a pickle!! meaning i tasted 100% pickle. i usually taste food by fainted memory.

6. and i could smell the house when i first stepped in. what a relief that it actually smelled good. [i think that shot in the hiney did it!]

7. been loving this weather we've had these past few days. makes me feel blessed that i'm alive.

8. flipped back and forth between dancing with the stars and hoarders. i feel like a self controlled hoarder. [controlled to 1 room and a cabinet in the kitchen]

9. so tomorrow i plan on cleaning and re-organizing everything, again.

10. made this offer to ham: sell his bmw so we can get a new jeep then he can have full rights to the rover and do whatever he wishes with it. [he wants to sell it for a different vehicle.] not sure if mike will really agree to this.

my fashionista

1. decided it would be fun to do one of those "what she wore" posts since she dresses better than me.

2. it might seem that i spend a lot of money on her clothes but i don't. i shop off season buying for the next year. most of her outfits don't cost more than $10 bucks [for the whole outfit!] which allows me to splurge like on her grey/white striped and black/white striped tops. they're from gap kids and were $12.00 bucks each.

3. two of her shoes were more expensive but the others that she wears were 3 bucks from target.

4. we were invited for a late lunch by the in-laws today. we waited for ham to get home from taking his SAT's for the second time.

5. asked him how it went and got the usual answer- i don't know. then i asked if it was a little easier and he said yes but with attitude.

6. so we left him with no money for food. gave him 20 bucks yesterday sure he had enough for some taco bell.

7. and he asked if he could stay out later like his friends. they have till 1. i said to be home by 12:30, take it or be home by 12.

8. if he would be nicer to us then i probably would have let him stay out till 1. but he hasn't been.

9. went to the outlet malls while kaylee and nana played and mike watched football.

10. proud of myself for staying under the budget i has set for myself.

winner, winner chicken dinner!

sweet pea in her school photo day outfit. yep, that's an emersonmade flower in her hair. LOVE IT!

and on to announce the winner. sorry for taking so long. and since this is not a high paying blog, in fact, none at all, i did the choosing of the winner the old fashion way. i put 10 numbers in a cup and picked #6! so that means alli of hooray won! i will be emailing you shortly.

thanks to everyone who had entered. hopefully i will be able to do this again!

[i had 11 entries but the first entry said she did not want to be included]

human pincushion + a little down

1. to start out my day i went to my doctors appointment to figure out why i'm getting some aches and pains. before getting pricked and probed, i got a written warning for speeding. [he caught me going 52 in a 45]

2. after the appointment i did go and buy some mums + pumpkins from some amish.

3. came home and got dinner started in the crockpot.

4. then spent the next 3+hours at the allergist. i got pricked again. this time on my back, arm and behind. so i find myself really funny by calling me the human pincushion.

5. then i got some news about mike's job. its too early to say anything but everything that i had planned is on hold for awhile.

6. it makes me nervous because he just started this job, again.[because they want to make right with what happened with the big oil spill]

7. after my 3+ hours at the allergist i made it home with 15 minutes to get ready for kaylee's last soccer game.

8. why do coaches + parents have to ruin the fun? [kaylee never scored a goal but she liked it so thats all that matters]

9. my kids were super sweet and came up to me and hugged me and thanked me. [i didn't see them do that with the other coach- HA!]

10. kaylee got her school pictures taken and i got some before the bus came. will post those next. in one of her proofs from school she looks exactly like ham but with longer hair.

sucky blogger

taken today

1. parents got to watch what's been going on at dance class. happy to say little nugget was the only one following her instructors instructions.

2. i know i've been a sucky blogger! PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT FOR MY GIVEAWAY!

3. but i've been seriously enjoying my FREEDOM!

4. friday i helped with the little nuggets jog-a-thon at her school and stayed for lunch. i thought of volunteering maybe for lunch duty or substitute teaching then thought. nope. going to enjoy my time right now.

5. had a great weekend. friends came over friday for pizza + ham/cheese pudgy pies over the fire pit. went shopping for mike and relaxed rest of the time.

6. thinking about taking a day trip down to indy on friday. want to grab a few things from crate + barrel + pottery barn kids.

7. was going to stay over night but decided the money used for hotel room could be used for spontaneous shopping.

8. this week i saw my eye doctor, will see my family doctor and an allergist.

9. i took video's of the little nugget at her dance class. we started laughing when we watched them because you can hear me sniffle throughout the whole thing.

10. we got a quote on hardwood floors. the family room, dining room and hallway will be the first to get done. we must of picked out some dang expensive hardwood because it quoted to be $5000-$7000! we are definitely getting more quotes!
