Random, Rambling Thoughts......

I haven't blogged in awhile and I noticed that nobody noticed. How sad for me. Just kidding. Though the "nobody noticed " part is true.

We have had a skunk problem at work for three weeks now. We had someone come and put out a trap but the only thing we caught was a very mad cat. The stink is not a pleasant aroma to work in. We tried candles. We tried odor absorbing dealie boppers. We tried moth balls. Today was the first time in over three weeks that I wasn't slammed in the face with the unpleasant skunky odor as I walked into the office.

Kacey turned five last week. She is such a darling girl. I am so in love with her. Bob is putty in her tiny hands. He will do anything for her.Before she was born he was moaning and groaning about how he wasn't ready to be a grandfather and blah blah blah but the minute he met her it was love at first sight.

Today Kacey asked Aaron to help her put on her new bracelet. He is a guy and probably has never tried to put a bracelet on such a tiny wrist so it was taking a long time. She looked at him and said "Aaron, I don't have all day!". I thought that was so funny.

Our family has a lot of inside jokes. I guess they aren't so much jokes as they are quotes from the movies they grew up on. I love the humor of my children and husband. I love to laugh and I love corny humor. No, nothing too off color for me. What I mean to say it that I don't like off color stuff. I won't let people tell me anything that I think is off color.

The clerks in our local stores have no personality. I will try to joke a little with them as they are ringing up my items and they just stare at me blankly and go on with their scanning.

I love my little poopie puppy. House training isn't going very well but I am sure it will kick in pretty soon. Bob is being very tolerant and I am grateful. He found a home for our beautiful German short haired Pointer several years ago and it made me so sad. I think the key is "Tiny house Dog". Sophie is four months old now and probably weighs 6 lbs. Kacey and Aaron love her too.

I can't grow decent finger nails. The second one of my finger nails gets long enough to admire, it immediately chips and breaks off. I remember being 10 and spending my allowance on fake finger nails. I would ride my bike and rest my hands palms down, fingers extended on the handle bars and just admire my fake nails. They didn't last very much longer than my real nails.

You have to get the Ped Egg. It is amazing. My heals looked like....well, suffice it to say, they were awful. I got the above mentioned Ped Egg and I now have heals as smooth as a baby's behind. Yea!!!!! Probably not for Sandy but everyone else.

I am happy because I have Monday and Tuesday of next week off. I love having days off!!!! I don't get paid for those days. That is the only downside to having them off.

I love the show "The Office". It is so funny. Have you seen it?

Old Television Shows

I am watching old episodes of "That Girl" with Marlo Thomas. Do any of you remember that show? I love the old show "Dobie Gillis" I like the old shows because they remind me of simpler times. I like to see the fashions they wore in those days.

Gigi mentioned 13 things she doesn't do any more and it got me to thinking about things I used to love to do that I don't do any more and here they are:

  1. SEWING. I USED TO SEW A LOT BUT I DON'T ANY MORE.
  2. BAKE
  3. WRITE LETTERS (LIKE GIGI)
  4. TALK TO MY SISTER,SUSAN, ON THE PHONE FOR HOURS AT A TIME
  5. GO ON DATES WITH MY HUSBAND
  6. ROAD TRIPS
  7. GARDEN
  8. READ FOR PLEASURE (I READ THE SCRIPTURES EVERY DAY BUT THAT IS ALL)
  9. WEAR KNEE LENGTH SHORTS (TOO SELF-CONSCIOUS OF MY HAM HOCK LEGS)
  10. SIT WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN IN SACRAMENT MEETING (KIDS GREW UP AND MOVED AWAY AND BOB IS OUR BRANCH PRESIDENT)

That is all I can think of right now.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to you all.
My husband and children have always made Mother's Day very special for me and I am always a happy camper on this day. Thanks! Hillary always made breakfast in bed for me when she was home and Aramie always cooks something special even though it is her Mother's Day,too. All the kids call me if they are away and I really do feel like a "Queen For a Day". I remember my dad buying a lawn mower for my step-mom a couple of times and that is something I would really not like to get as a gift. I count myself blessed.

The house breaking is going a little better for our little Sophie and that makes for a happier husband. We all prefer a happy Bob.

I really don't have anything interesting to write about. I guess I've got blog-block.

Enjoy your special Day.
