I'm BACK!

Okay, so Cindi busted me, no posts after I promised I would ;-(



But alas, I am back. Here's my big project for the weekend:



Out with the old, which means I have to assemble the new :-0. Yikes!

This bed was in C4's room - which used to be sister's room..... anyway, I bought him a bed, then they switched rooms...... oy, the long story, anyway, now to redo his room, AGAIN (did it once they he moved, so will do the new his room now). Phew! Tired just talking about it!

Thanks for checking back C! Wasn't my first post about you keeping me accountable?

I'm still here

I got a digital camera. FINALLY! Pictures posted as soon as I figure out how to use it.

The hole that started it all

This is the 'massave' hole that caused water to run from my driveway like somebody was washing their car. It was FINALLY located below the slab, behind the toilet, under the kitchen cabinets.

This thing is as small as the tip of my pinky finger.

Mom Won Me $1

Mom went to a Credit Union Opening, spun the wheel and won me one of the new solid dollars with George Washington on it.

Big Cuz

Big cousin C4 holding Mia! She's one month old now and he finally gets to hold her (you know with pillows all around and Grandaddy just out of the shot).

More Miyahlona!

Happy Birthday Kimmie

I made a Wonderful dinner for Kimmie. We went to mom's and had Enchiladas, Chicken Casserole, Potato Salad (thanks Dad), Refried Beans, and of course, Cake decorated by me!

Sweetie Pie Miyahlona!

We got to play with her most of Sunday! Mom, Kim and I all fought over her. I don't know who won, but Miyahlona didn't have to want for anything!

She Works Hard for the Money

Little Miss Kimmie had an interview yesterday and not only got hired on the spot, began working. She finished her second day today. She'll work after school for about 3 years each day. It's an independant insurance company miles from school/home.

Whoo!!!! Go Kimmie!

We had a BLAST! Missed you guys, but made a bunch of new friends. Some live at Disney and some were just visiting. I'll post pictures once I get my (old school) film developed!

SWEEEEETTTTTT! The Disney Message above is from my Cellie!!! Now while we are at Disney World, I can update you guys as to what is going on!

Happy Birthday Grandaddy!

Today we have having a birthday dinner with Grandaddy. He is 72 years old on Thursday. He made Gumbo and we brought a German Chocolate Cake from Sam's Club. Christopher is watch Tom and Jerry Blast Off To Mars. I'm about to take Shanisa to Target so she can register for the Baby Registry. She and Jobarron are expecting Little Angel Mialona in Late August or early September.

Kim and I went to see Hair Spray on Friday night with Sarah (from Orlando). We also had dinner at Fish City Grill. Both were excellent. I want to see the movie again. Usually I don't like musicals, but this is truly the exception! The Black and White dress in the last act is AWESOME. Going to see what I can do about duplicating that puppy!

For Sale????

I just can't decide if I want to put my house up for sale. So I called my agent Marion Harris and told her I'm ready. Marion gave me a list of things to get done before I am ready to 'show' the house. She says if there are no 'showings' in the first 30 days, it may be difficult to sell it at this time.

Kim and I have started on the list. This is a generic list I told Marion I'd work on before she came to view the house. This way, she can focus on other things (and I have a chance to get rid of a bunch of junk before she comes ;-)). Anyway, Kim is the queen of 'letting go....' Not at all like that Titanic chick (I'll never let go..). We started with the toughest area, the laundry room. Now we have tools, washer/dryer items, and items that will put in storeage while the house is 'on the market'. These include anything we won't be using before Nov. and my mass collection off fabrics and other crafts.

This morning I work up at 5 and waited for the sun to come up. When it did, I went to the backyard and began removing items from the shed and putting them in the front of the house for 'bulk pickup'. I got in a good 30 minutes of exercise when I had to stop to get ready for church.

I ended up washing my hair and am now under the dryer. It was so hot yesterday, I didn't want to work outside between 8am and 8pm. Maybe tonight I can do some more with the back yard. We have a picnic table that is aweful, I'm going to take it apart and put it out for trash too.

We've alrady donated about 6 of the outdoor trash bags of 'stuff' to the American Kidney Foundation. I'm sure we'll have that much more to donate within the month.

I scheduled Marion to see the houseon 7/28, so I've got just enough time to 'get er done'.

Tough Day

Well the day started with me finding a tower to move Kim's car from the parking lot (where I told her not to leave it) to the repair shop. Long story, but this should have been done BEFORE she left for camp on Monday. THEN I discovered that I needed to drop the key off at the repair shop. Once all of this was done, I BARELY got to work in time for a meeting with my boss, his bosses, and their boss. At that meeting I was told that my attempt to correct a MAJOR error was not handled properly.

After that, I got a call from the repair shop to tell me that the car started right up when the wrecker tried it!!!!! I'd gone over yesterday and it wouldn't start. The alarm was going off, but no start-up of the car. So it was $60 to have someone tow a drivable care 4 blocks!!!! THEN it's $450 to repair the brake shoes, pads, and routers!

I have been pissy all day and am still not my happy usual cheerful self. My eye keeps twitching and it's really bugging me!

Tomorrow BETTER be a better day!

Sew and Sew and Sew

Well I can mark 7 pieces off of my list of 100 items to sew this year. I have finished 3 curtains for my girlfriend Pearl (Hi Pearl, hope you are reading this). I visited my other girlfriend this weekend. She had already made this gorgeous skirt for herself and I asked if I could make coordinated TShirt dresses for her daughters (these are the ones I made the fairy curtains for). I also made a headband for one and a bandana for the other.
