Monday, September 1, 2008~ Busy weekend... ~ |
Our "weekend" started off on Friday as hubby had a 4 day. Son always has Monday's off but did have to go to school on Friday. Which was unfortunate as mommy and grandson were in town for only a day and a half on their way back to WA. While hubby was off with a few friends, and son was in school, mommy and grandson and I spent most of the day shopping and running errands, as it was payday (for military anyway).
Saturday morning son was able to have breakfast with mommy and grandson (and family) before they had to hit the road once again. Then son had a football game (he didn't get to play this one  but their team won by 4 points ...last year they lost 60-6!!) which we attended and I taped (tried to anyway  ). Then we had him ride home with us instead of the bus and we stopped and had fast food  for supper, discussed the game and had some family time.
Yesterday hubby and son spent some time together in the garage, then went shooting and I stayed home and finished my cleaning and cooking. We had a wonderful supper last night (smoked/BBQ ribs, potato salad and fruit salad) then watched a movie together (National Treasure 2). Here is a picture of the ribs I did in our new pellet grill/smoker....they turned out wonderful and we had leftovers for lunch today.
This morning we all slept in and then just lazed around the house LOL. Which feels so nice to do every once in a while! Hubby and son just left a bit ago to go shooting again and I'm about to do a few chores and start making the hot dog buns for tonight's supper. I may get a little sewing in this afternoon too, depending on when they guys get back home.
Today is the first day of our monthly menu. Tomorrow I will post the dinners we will be having for the next month (and every month there after LOL unless we decide to change anything). Hopefully this will work out well for us, I think it will as it gives me a little more structure as far as what I may need to make (ie rolls, buns etc.) for each week and won't have to look at the menu and freak out cause I needed to make something to go with a meal and forgot . This will also help me with my grocery budget as I'll be buying pretty much the same things every month.
You may have noticed that I put up a weight loss ticker on the left. Time to get back to business (as my health permits...I do have a doctor appointment tomorrow, so we'll see how things go from there). I was going to put a turtle up there, you know...slow and steady (or like my papa likes to say.."off like a terd herd of hurtles turtles" hehe)...but I was being vain and it didn't match my blog...so I went with the butterfly again . LOL I will be updating it (and posting) as I get myself in gear again.
Well, I guess I'd better go so I don't waste the afternoon away! Have a wonderful day and I'll "see" you tomorrow!
God Bless,

Thursday, August 28, 2008~ This was in my email today ~ |
so I thought I'd pass it along....
The newest virus circulating is the "UPS Delivery Failure". You will
receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The
word packet is misspelled on this line. It will say that they were un-able to
deliver a package sent to you on such and such a date. It then asks you to
print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE
VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This
virus has caused millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.
Hope your day is going well,

Monday, August 25, 2008~ Busy weekend ~ |
We were gone most of Saturday morning for son's first football scrimmage. His actual first game will be this weekend. This is the first time he's ever been interested in school sports (and he is a Senior) so we are going to try to make it to as many games as we can. Unfortunately, their school's football field is not acceptable for games, only for practice so all of their games, including their "home" games are a minimum of an hour away (some close to two hours!). We are hoping to be able to make all the Saturday games, but aren't sure about the Friday night games with hubby's work schedule right now.
Anyway, the rest of the weekend was spent working outside (and some inside for me). Hubby put the brush hog (mower) on the tractor and went to mowing, son got out the weed eater and cleaned up everything around the house and garage, and I wandered around the main part of the property cleaning things up that tend to get blown here and there from the winds. When son was finished with his chores, I ran him to a friends for a few hours and hubby and I walked all the water lines running to the many trees that the previous owners planted. A lot of them have died off, or just don't seem to be growing very well. We are on the edge of the plains and trees don't grow here on their own, so getting them to stay alive seems to be a hassle. But we'll keep trying since they are already here. I don't think we would have chosen to plant the same types or put them in the places they are if it had been up to us. We probably would've chosen to put more fast growing "wind break" type trees up by the house.....which is still an option....but probably not until next year.
My inside work (other than my normal) was to make more hamburger buns (they turned out a lot better looking this time LOL), banana muffins and shred some leftover chicken for our supper (we had BBQ chicken sandwiches). They turned out pretty good and we'll all be having the leftovers for lunch. This morning I need to make another dozen muffins while son is doing his laundry and his weekly room/bathroom cleaning and homework, then we are headed to town for a few things at the store and his dentist appt. So I guess I'd better go so that my work will be done before we leave. Have a wonderful Monday!
God Bless,

Have a great evening!

Monday, August 18, 2008~ STARTING FRESH ~ |
Good morning, it's the beginning of another week and I think the week for me to start blogging again. I thought that I didn't have much to blog about until I stopped. That's when I came up with all kinds of ideas! LOL Now my posts may be sporadic, lots and then possibly none again for awhile. I'm having some health issues to deal with and we are waiting to find out my options (not sure if I'll post about what my health issues are...I'll keep praying about that). So I guess you'll have to just stop in and check to see if I've posted or not. LOL
Anyway, I'll leave you with a picture of me (some of me anyway ) wearing the "butt" apron that Amy Jo made me for my birthday. THANK YOU AMY JO!!!

Make a Right onto "Believeth Blvd."
Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ.
From there, you must turn onto the "Bridge of Faith," which is over troubled water.
When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight. You are on the "King's Highway" - Heaven-bound.
Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for the Son, and One for the Holy Ghost. Then exit off onto "Grace Blvd."
From there, make a Right turn on "Gospel Lane."
Keep Straight and then make another Right on "Prayer Road."
As you go on your way, Yield Not to the traffic on "Temptation Ave." Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END. Pass up "Envy Drive, " and "Hate Avenue."
Also, pass "Hypocrisy Street," "Gossiping Lane," and Backbiting Blvd."
However, you have to go down "Long-suffering Lane," "Persecution Blvd.," and "Trials and Tribulations Ave."
But that's all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead! AMEN!!!!!
Send these directions to your friends so they will not get lost.
