I somehow stumbled upon this...

A seinfeld wordfind! I love wordfinds...and seinfeld (obviously).


you can go to here for the puzzle and words to find if you're bored like I am.

oh and a little update, I did get quite a few of the things that I wanted to to do done yesterday. I just need to talk to Holly and finish my planting and find lawn ornaments. but other than that I got everything done. I got to see missy and it was really wonderful to see her.

Tomorrow's Jen's high school grad party so congrats to her!!

Because it's nice out today...

I just want to write a quick post about a refreshing and girly drink. If anyone out there loved grape koolaid...like I did, these things are just like it, I suppose with a little added alcohol though. They are perfect for a grilling out drink, so perfect I think I have to buy some tonight. Yum. After my high school graduation party I didn't think I'd ever have another smirnoff drink again, but the day has come and it tastes good.



Things I want to do today

~See Missy!
~Get a ton of planting done at mikes.
~Find some fun lawn ornaments.
~Go to thrift stores.
~Uproot Lilly of the Valley.
~Plant Lilly of the Valley at Mikes.
~Find out if I have to work tomorrow.
~Go to the dreaded Walmart for planters and plants.
~Grill some food and eat said food.
~Hit some golf balls.
~Do laundry.
~Talk to Holly.
~Go to the bank.
~Wash my car.


I wonder just how many of these I'll get done. I don't have too high of hopes.

Taking a cue from Ang

I'm going to write a few updates.

~I'm still trying to get used to my hair. So silly, I know. The positive comments really did help though, so thank you.

~Tourist season officially started this weekend. Sigh. This means that I now work every single day. Spew. I did however ask off for the weekend of June 14-15 and am going to go camping up here, I believe, so if anyone wants to join in.....please do!

~Oh, someone fell down the stairs at work again on Saturday (great beginning to the season). Luckily I was in the other store when it happened so I didn't have to endure that painful situation and the flashbacks. She did something to her ankle. It's only three steps, with a railing, people!!!!

~My little seedlings that I planted all died thanks to them being unprotected in this ridiculous cold weather that we've been having. So I'm going to start all over again with the leftover seeds. Wish me luck....again. Do you think that if I paint my thumb green that will help in any way?

~I'm going to do some yard work at mike's today and then have to cover everything up b/c there's another frost advisory tonight. I just have to get these plants in the ground b/c they are going to die in their containers. When will this end??

~I get to see Missy tomorrow! YAY.

It's gone :(

So I'm still kind of upset at the moment b/c I just got my hair cut at 11 and well...the lady cut off quite a bit more than I requested. I told her I still want to be able to put it in a ponytail and it should be still at least touching my shoulders...well it's not the case. Grr. I swear, my hair hasn't been this short since it grew out as a child, anyone that knows me knows I've had long hair my ENTIRE life. And yes, I'll admit it...I cried! Outside the salon at least. haha. So I guess this is just going to take some getting used to. At least it goes to a good cause, and yes, I know. It grows back. Here's a little photo from my phone b/c I still can't find the cord to my camera.


It's coming off.

So my hair has gotten really long lately and I'm going to do it. I'm going to chop it off. So dramatic, I know...but I'm nervous about it! I'm going to donate it to locks of love so it will be a pretty big change. I'm writing about it here so I don't back out of doing it, b/c I just might want to. I know its only hair and it'll grow, but what if I don't like it? Ok, so when I inevitably post a picture of it, tell me you like it, NO MATTER WHAT.

Bean Baggedy

I've really had a hankering lately for a game of Bean-bag toss. Anyone know someone that can build me one? I am woodworking handicapped. What other lawn games, besides bocce of course, can anyone recommend? I want to play in the grass.

While I was doing a search for lawn games check out the thing I came across! It's the Score Station Backyard Scoring System with Cup Holders.
How necessary is this item!? Here's its description.
"Did you forget what the score was again? Are you thirsty with no spot to place your beverage? Now that will not be a problem anymore. Keep the score current and accurate with the Score Station, and keep your drinks available with the two cup holders."

I love that they know that's what people are doing as they play lawn games and cater to it.

I am grill hungry!

So last night I couldn't take it anymore. I need some grilled food. Everyone's posts about it keep making it worse. So I bought some hotdogs and some turkey for turkey burgers and it was my plan to force mike into grilling. Well after closer inspection, Mike's grill has seen better days. So we were off to buy a new grill. We were totally optimistic at the store, even after seeing that a sizable grill came in a not so sizable box. We even walked around the store to get other things for grilling.

Well we get the box home and unpack it (read we as mike) and it didn't look so good. Lots of pieces and it was already about 7:30. So...we had grilled cheese and tomato soup last night (I just couldn't give up on the "grilled" portion of the menu.

Mike however was very diligent and he finished putting it together even though it had become dark out. So tonight, we are going to try take 2 at having a completely grilled meal.

If I could find my cord for my camera I would post the pictures.

And it came.

Apparently, all I had to do to make my check from GW arrive was state on the interweb just how much I needed it. My bill collectors thank you :)



Does anyone else find this picture of Chili, a 6'6" cow, both awesome and terrifying at the same time? Holly, you know what I'm talking about. Here's more pictures and the story of Chili.

Is it just me....

or has everyone else got their economic stimulus packages but me? I's gots some bills to pay, yo! Don't get me wrong, I know I normally wouldn't have this, but with everyone else already having theirs it makes me wonder if the awful luck I tend to have is going to continue into this arena as well.

I saw what at a movie?!


So last night after making about 8 pounds of baked ziti for TWO people...Mike and I and his sister and Brandon went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I was kinda bummed because I got yet another rejection letter from somewhere I applied at, so I wanted to watch something funny.

Oh it was funny and I do recommend it, but if you're not ready to see (spoiler alert!) male genitals at the theater then this is not the movie for you. I've just gotta say this is the first time I've seen that in a movie there before. It shocked me. I think I shock easily though. So anyways, this is the face I made:

I'm alive!

This was day 1. I don't know if you can see in his glasses, but there was quite a big group. 32 four-wheelers to begin with(a lot of them doubled up with riders)...31 after one broke down a tenth of a mile into the ride. It was a very muddy ride, but fun! This is the only picture I have from that day. Hopefully I get some from some other people soon.


This was a memorial ride for Mike and Jen's brother, Dwayne who passed away 2 years ago. It was supposed to be awful weather on saturday but Mike's mom, Liz, said she had a talk with Dwayne and asked him for some sunshine and we got it. It was a beautiful day.


The back of our shirts.

My momma got to come along on Sunday and I rode with her. She shows up and I ask her where her brand new helmet that mike and I got her for her birthday was, and she responded, well I didn't have any place to put it and I didn't want to carry it. We all let her know just how stupid that comment was. She really regretted not having it with her cause, wow was it dusty.

Here's everyone on one of our stops trying to get cell phone reception to call some riders that didn't follow us.

I said say cheese, and they just happened to have cheetos and cheezits in their hands. Convenient. This my cousin Brandon, and Mike's sister Jen.

There was a huge difference from the ride on Saturday and on Sunday. Sunday was super dusty and Brandon's face showed it.

Aww, me and my boo. I think this is the first time we successfully managed to get both our heads in the picture without someone else taking it.

Jen and Brandon got stuck in a puddle.


Aww. (that's me and mike by the way)


4x4 weekend here I come.

So tomorrow, friday, begins the weekend of four-wheeling. After work tomorrow we'll go out to the cabin we have rented for the weekend and then go to a bonfire at mike's friends cabin.

Saturday is an all day ride (which I don't know that i'm prepared for) in what is supposed to be loads of rain. Luckily Mike has some spare raingear for me. I'm going to try and bring my camera but I don't know how often i'll be able to take pictures. There's supposed to be about 50 of us so it should definitely be fun and probably really muddy. I've never been on anything like this, so be thinking about me :) I'm hoping I won't be too big of a baby.

Sunday is another ride day on what is supposed to be sunny at least. Yay for that.

Anywho, Hope you all have a great weekend!
