New Bible Study

Six week study starts this week. We'll meet at the church on Wednesday mornings.

Childcare, too!! I'm so excited!!!

Random, Mindless Post

Something funny about the Mister that I just thought of.

This really is random.

I *love* Little House on the Prairie. Love it. I watch episodes of it on the Hallmark Channel all of the time. It also comes on Nick. I think. Anyhoo - - The Mister loves to mess with me by messing up Almanzo's name. Remember him?

I used to crush on him *BIG TIME* when I was in junior high. I think I secretly wanted my first real kiss to be with him. I was so jealous of Laura. She was so lucky. Ugh. I digress.

The Mister messes his name up. He calls him Alfonso. Just to jack with me.

I just thought that was funny.

Oh - - Manny. *swoon* I think I still love you a little.

Saturday

Nothing real exciting so far.

I did a little cleaning this morning. That always takes me to a happy place when it's done. I love a nice, clean, picked up house. *smile*

Hey, ask the Mister about his new found love for Gain. Uh-huh. It isn't just me. He is singing the praises now, too. (He used it to soak the car mats. He is cleaning up both of our other cars to sell.) Anyway - - he's digging the way it took out some tar and stuff. Rock on, Gain.

Hey Donna - - speaking of love for the green... We need to get together sometime next week. I'll hook you up with your prize. You lucky thang...

Okay. Brief. I need to hit the shower so I can shave my legs. Pool time tonight.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday. And - - your time with the Father in the House on Sunday. Oh yeah...

And the winner is...

Congratulations ScrapbookD!! You were were the 20th comment on the RAK post and the first official winner of my RAK give-away. You guessed the prize, too! Part of it. It's a Gain Lovefest. Detergent and Fabric Softener. (I guess you'll make it a priority to see me now, huh? Tee hee hee!)

Thank you all for playing. It was fun. You never know when I'll do it again...

Happy Stalking!!

Smooches all around...

Pic of my new ride...

Here are the boys showing it off.

That top screen is a navigation system. It also doubles as a camera screen. There is a camera on the back bumper. When I put the van in reverse, a view from the camera pops up there on the screen. Now the mister said I have absolutely *zero* excuse for closing the back bumper in the garage door. (Whoopsie!! I did that with the Camry once.)

Cool, huh?

Grease

The local theater is doing Grease. I think I've told several people that I'd love to go. Who all did I say that to? I still want to go and we need to get tickets ASAP!! Who is in?

Can't sleep.

Our little trip to the E.R. tonight has me a little wired. I'm trying to avoid going into the kitchen and totally noshing on the totally fawesome pico de gallo I made tonight. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

So - - I shall instead tell you about a new love in my life. It is XM radio. Oh my heavens. Where has my life been before this? An entire station dedicated to 80's music? One to 90's? Fox News all the time? And during Basketball season, if a game isn't on television, I'll bet it's on XM. Seriously folks. I. am. in. love. *deep, loving sigh* It's like my whole world just makes sense now.

Dang it, that wasn't long enough. I'm getting me some stinkin' pico and chips and I'm gonna watch a little Will and Grace. By golly. I deserve it. Don't I? I can taste it already. Yummy. jealous? You should be. It's fabulous!!!!

I'm out now.

Buenas noches, mis amigas.

There's a new sheriff in town...

...and his name is Justin. Why sheriff? The sheriff of suck.

I won't show you his before pictures. Blood makes some people squeamish. Besides, we didn't get photographs of most of the blood anyway. By the time we were able to snap a few pictures, it was down to a very slow trickle. This is in the E.R. around 10:00. The two pieces of tape are covering the two gashes on his forehead. They were pretty deep. No stitches though. Just some dermabond. The orange/yellow looking stuff is more glue to help hold the tape which is covering the two spots.

They bribed him with a Popsicle. It worked. He was quite the trooper. Not a tear one during his treatment. (Several tears before hand though. It sure broke this Mommy's heart.)

I'll bet he had quite a headache though. He is in bed and asleep. No concussion.

That E.R. doctor and nurse at Shannon rocked. I'm just sayin'.

The score:

Justin: 0

Fireplace: 1

The *BIG* news!!

I am now the proud owner of a minivan. That's right. We bit the bullet and bought it yesterday.

Let me first say that ten years ago, heck, five years ago, I swore up and down that I'd never own a minivan. Let me eat those words big time. Right now.

That sucker is freaking awesome, man. It is fawesome. My sister made fun of me. Maybe because she is still in a leased two door that she can't get out of (coughcoughdorkcoughcough). She says she would never drive one either. Good for you then. I'm rocking on with my minivan bad self. This thing is featured to the hilt and I am LOVING it!!

I'll take some pics tonight and post 'em later. Then - - oh, oh. Maybe a naming contest. We'll name my new car!! Let's finish the current contest. Then we'll do that one. K? Remember, you have the rest of today and all of tomorrow. Post a comment under the RAK entry for it to count! You can comment here, too. But it doesn't count toward the contest.

Can I get a "rock on" for my '08 Honda Odyssey?

Yeah, baby!!

RAK Time!!!

Do you know what RAK means? It stands for Random Act of Kindness. I'm in the mood to give something away. I'm going to give you stalkers three days to post comments to this entry. It only counts on this entry. Post as many comments as you want. I don't care. The deal is - - you have to sign your name. (Each time.) Ha *ha.*

On Friday morning, I'm going to use a number generator to draw for a winner. What will you get? Who knows? But won't it be fun trying? Out of town? Go ahead. Play, too. I can use snail mail to send you the prize. What should you comment about? I don't know. Wherever the wind blows you. Have fun with it. Tell me your favorite color. Tell me about your first kiss. Talk about how in love you are with your children. Tell me about how blessed you are by God. Tell a joke. Just keep it clean. (Remember, my parents read this stuff.)

Don't forget to sign your name. First name and last initial will be fine. Do you dare let me know that you are reading my little tidbits?

Now come on. Who wants to have some fun? Are you just saying that you want to have fun or do you *really* want to have some fun?

Go.

My Male Nurse

He. Smelled. Nice.


So good. I looked forward to every time he came in my room. I was so scared that I would say something stupid. I have the tendency to just "run off at the mouth" anyway. Add some drugs to that and *presto*. You have some shameful flirting. I was careful not to do that. I kept telling myself to crank up the filter. Be hyper aware. Don't embarrass yourself.


I finally couldn't take it anymore. He smelled so stinkin' good. I wanted to get some of whatever he had for the Mister. So I asked him what he was wearing. I told him that I was sorry for asking, and please don't think I'm flirting. (He was wearing a wedding ring, too.) He kind of grinned, turned a little red and then told me that it wasn't cologne at all. He said his wife washes his clothes in Gain. Aha!!!! I knew I loved it!!


So, the next time you think I'm on crack for loving Gain - - think again. That stuff rocks my world. It just smells so good. So, so clean. Even he said that he gets compliments all of the time.


Take a look at my washer and drier:




Isn't this a fabulous site? They now make the Gain "he" in the convenient dispenser bottles. So I snapped up two bottles of it. More liquid fabric softener and another box of sheets.




Ain't life grand?


Now go. Go buy some Gain. Be happy and smell good.
