Soup and a Movie


Thank you.Thank you.
No spend month is officially over tomorrow. But I did it! I paid off two bills, walked into a 70% off store sale and bought nothing! (I really need spring sweaters!), did not eat out at all, no Redbox, window shopped and listened to music-some stores need to sell there music mixes!, read a book (it got better towards the end), took lotsa pictures, cancelled vonage, looked at two townhouses and came up with another 30 day mission. As a reward I am going to see "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" and hitting up my fav restaurant for Hot and Sour Soup. **** skipping away signing Gummi Bears theme song......High adventures that's beyond compare.

Leave it to Beaver


Alex can eat meat everyday for everymeal. I however, am completely "meat" out. This is my 6th day making a salad for dinner. Maybe my body simply is telling me, "feed me something else!". I guess this will be a two dinner household for awhile. Nik would be proud of this salad!

Guys really have no idea. This antenna cost 1/4 of the price of a new vacuum. I hope it falls down and breaks.

Shore of the Sea


Morgan wrote this poem for school, when she was 10 I think, I absolutely love it. I can't remember the assignment, but I've always kept it and now recently had it framed. The frame is just like her-bright and falls down alot. lol

5 hours

I read somewhere that the average woman watches 5 hours of television per day. That doesn't seem drastic at all, then I thought about it:

8 hours to sleep

8 hours of work

1 hour commute for work

1 hour to start the day

1 hour to run errands

1.5 hours to prepare a meal

2 hours to watch a movie......

hmmmmm....

36 C

She smiles for picures. Ha


We had resently decided it was time for Deena to have surgery for her Cherry Eye condition and spaying (no puppies here!). Although I wish she could just tell me whether she wants puppies or not, lol. I fear she will probably have a litter of six and while we would keep one, I'd obsess about finding the others homes.


So we schedule an appointment and Lix takes her, (on my way to work, they have questions, I may as well have taken her myself right?) Blah, blah, blah? "yes" "three months ago" "no change in mood" "no we're not gonna breed her"


So blood work and physical exam are done.


I get a call two days later, bloodwork came back and to call the Vet. Message left on voicemail, I have to wait 12 hours..needless to say sleepless night.


Next day I call at 9:05 am, the recep is a lil bit loopy. He puts me on hold twice. The other Dr. will have to call me back with the results! Look they playing with me now! I had errands to run and I need to know what is going on with Deena!


The other Dr. calls me back in 1.5 hours. She has HEARTWORMS! Lord have mercy.


So we take her back to establish the plan to get rid of those lil boogers and find out my doggie also has an enlarged heart (who bred this afflicted canine?).


So the plan is hatched and the Vet will be all in my pocket for the next four months and my lovely dog will be beat this! She made it through hookworms (that's another story) and can rumble with a snake (another post), she's a warrior.


This heifer just better not chew another one of my bras!





5 days to go!

No spend month! Almost at the finish line. I did so very well.

Little touches....

Red Tassel completed, this was actually quite fun to make!

No Spend Month!

Ok I returned the Cool pix--it wasn't so great after all. I am still looking for a new camera. Also, I have jumped onto the bandwagon and become a member of the NO SPEND MONTH...crew. Yes, starting April 1st 2009, I will not spend money on anything--except--food and gifts (Easter). No matter if I have a coupon, it's the last one, "I really need this", "I really like it", 70 % off sale, going out of business sale, you get the point. It's been hard here at day 5...lol. My only saving grace is I have a few gift cards to work with. Yes I added that new rule to my version of the game. Gift Cards are allowed. Oh also I lost five lbs, can do 10 girl pushups, 2 boy pushups, and can jog for three minutes and not feel like I'm about to pop a lung.
