Happy Memorial Day! This is a picture of my dad's dad and my mom's dad when they were serving our country! Felix left the service after World War II for a civilian life, and Don re-enlisted in the Air Force and didn't retire until 1971.

Like we needed the calories!! . . . but they were OH so cute, and perfect for Memorial Day weekend . . . I just HAD to make them. Now, if I could just freeze half of them and not eat them ALL this weekend!! Nahhhhhhhh! haha

Here's the latest video game. Was waiting a couple of weeks to buy used at a MUCH cheaper price, and got it Friday. Robert and I have to both play though . . . he has to get me thru the shooting scenes, and I have to get him thru the investigation scenes.

It's POOL TIME! Hey, man . . . don't judge . . . I'm on a budget! :) It was only $25 and it's PERFECT! Big enough for my floatie and for Robert to sit in the corner (if he even wants in? he didn't get in last year's pool much). We still have the stairs for last years pool, haven't knocked them down . . . just in case we wanna high dive! :)

This Casey Anthony trial is SO interesting to me. Today was the opening arguments, and the defense dropped a bombshell by saying that Casey was molested as a child, and that Caylee drowned in the family pool . . . Can't WAIT to see this unfold!

Tornado season seems SO bad this year! I don't remember this many, with this many deaths, and the complete devastation that this year's tornado's are causing! This is a picture from the Joplin, MO tornado on Sunday.

Robert took me to get my library card today. Haven't been in YEARS! They have lots of books online, but I needed a library card to be able to access them. Even borrowed a couple of audio books to check out. Need some suggestions on what to get next . . . .

Chili cracks me up . . . he was camping out in this chair like he was a couch potato! I can't IMAGINE where he gets it from??

Are kids the only voters on American Idol anymore? Haley should have TOTALLY won this year. Hopefully she'll be as successful as Chris Daughtry . . . I think they are both SO great! I just went and bought 4 of her songs on Itunes!

Today was the last day of my first session of Weight Watchers at work. It started January 22nd, and I started online at home on January 1st. I weigh in at home on Saturday mornings, and at work on Wednesday's at lunch. I'm hoping that we have enough people to start another session at work, because I need the motivation. I still have a ways to go . . . . I've lost 9.4 lbs @ work and 14.4 lbs @ home.

I'm not much of a basketball fan . . . but even I am watching this series. I hope Mark Cuban's team can finally go all the way. Mom used to work for Mark Cuban, so I can almost pretend like I know him! hehe

OK, Yes . . . I am a reality show addict . . . and Boston Rob FINALLY winning Survivor after playing it 4 times is like the "pinnacle" of reality TV. You think Robert will move to Utah, and let me have another husband? You think it would be confusing to be married to Robert and Rob??

2011-05-15T10:29:00.002-05:00

I'm so sick of Lifetime TV! I've been in bed since Thursday after work, first with what I thought were just allergies, and then with a 103 degree fever. The bird feeder outside is like a little birdie buffet providing my only other entertainment.

2011-05-15T10:26:00.002-05:00

75,000 miles on my car already. I haven't even had it 5 years yet. I need new tires soon, but other than that every thing else seems good so far (knocking on wood!)

May 12, 2011

2011-05-13T14:27:00.003-05:00

This was in the back parking lot at work today. I don't think it's a "full car" though . . . it looks like a mock up for pictures or something, but we haven't gotten any emails on why it's there?

May 11, 2011

2011-05-13T14:25:00.004-05:00

This was the radar right before my commute home! Yuck! It actually looks a lot worse than it was. It was really dark though.

My parents got the shop all done!! Yesterday they painted the walls…..Dad did the cutting in and Mom did the rolling. Then they started moving things back on all the shelves. Today they moved the motor home out and vacuumed and cleaned all the saw dust everywhere. It looks great! I know y'all are thrilled to have it finished!

Chili LOVES his baths! He just jumps right in the tub like he's been waitin for you to ask him to. He was needin' one pretty bad too . . . he's been scratchin' like crazy.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you bunches!! I'm guessing this picture is from Christmas 1973 . . . any idea? You probably remember this better than I do! :)

2011-05-07T14:29:00.004-05:00

It was MY idea to go to the outdoor flea market while we waited on my car at the shop . . . and it was ME that found this fishing boat for $150. He's been wanting one JUST like this since I met him, so I'm glad he finally got it. Now we just need a motor, a battery, an oar, some more fishing gear, prolly a new pole, and . . . . ;-)

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I had a margarita on the rocks and diet nachos (fat free cheese, baked chips, grilled chicken, black beans, corn and salsa) . . . yum yummmmm!!

2011-05-04T20:20:00.003-05:00

Got our new mattress topper today. It's 3 inches of memory foam, on top of a 12 inch mattress . . . and now 31 inches off the ground! We really have to "climb" into bed now . . . hope my sheets fit?!

Robert and Chili kept me entertained on the deck while I ate dinner tonight. They were calling the crow back that had SWOOPED next to the owl decoy by the shed. I might have to get a scarecrow with all of that corn spoutin' up!

Osama Bin Laden is DEAD! The President had a late night announcement last night. This picture was released today of all of the members of the national security team in the Situation Room of the White House yesterday afternoon, watching the live feed of the mission to take Osama dead or alive in Pakistan.

2011-05-01T16:35:00.003-05:00

I can't believe that after all the controversy about Obama's birth certificate, when the White House finally produced a copy it is OVERLY fraudulent! Is it really possible that the White House would be so foolish as to release a forgery, produced using Adobe Photoshop?? These two images show all the changes made to the "original" document.

How's this for a Glamour Shot? I have a staph infection AGAIN . . . for like the 4th time in 2 years. On antibiotics, and while they "war" with the infection, I feel like dog crap. Taking pain pills because it hurts like hell, and this is where I've spent the last 24 hours . . . in bed.

April 29, 2011

2011-04-30T12:37:00.003-05:00

Woke up at 3:45 am . . . got my coffee AND my diet coke. Already had one tear in my eye when Prince William and Harry showed up in the same church that their mom's funeral was. :( It was a perfectly romantic wedding!

April 28, 2011

2011-04-28T17:31:00.003-05:00

It's working! My food is starting to sprout! Even the corn, which I didn't think would because it doesn't get much sun. I saw ONE little carrot spout, and no peppers sprouting from the seeds . . . but the pepper plants that I have are growing like crazy!

April 27, 2011

2011-04-27T20:25:00.003-05:00

Well, my knock-out rose got knocked out today . . . TWICE! I was about to leave this morning, and I saw Chili out the living room window IN MY GARDEN!! I caught him in the act! He got a spanking, and I quickly tried to save the plant before I left for work. I guess he didn't think my replanting was adequate, because it was back out when I got home! SIGH! I hope it lives (I mean the rose, not Chili . . . I guess I'll let Chili live! hehe) ;-)

2011-04-26T19:15:00.003-05:00

Check out the sky's heading south on my way home from work today. Tornado's were popping up all over to the southeast all afternoon. Luckily, I saw just a few drops of rain.

April 25, 2011

2011-04-25T19:36:00.002-05:00

It was time today to get off my LAZY ASS and start working out again. Since I bought my HRM, I haven't used it ONCE . . . until this morning. Started with this DVD that I got a week ago at Half Price Books for $6. Did 2 miles today. Gotta work my way back to the tougher DVD's next week.

April 24, 2011

2011-04-24T18:28:00.003-05:00

Robert is "no carb'ing it" . . . so he decided he wanted to cook a brisket today. It didn't turn out too well, it was kinda dry and tough, but I cooked a pork loin as a back up. I made corn casserole, baked beans and corn bread to go with it. I'm stuffed!

April 23, 2011

2011-04-23T13:13:00.004-05:00

Part 3 . . . all planted. All the plants, all the seeds . . . all done! Even mowed and trimmed the hedges. Watered . . . now just waiting on the sun. Hope some of it grows, don't expect it all to live . . . it is my "test garden". Hopefully it won't get eaten . . SOMETHING dug around in it last night!

April 22, 2011

2011-04-22T19:09:00.004-05:00

After doing part 2 of this project, I realized today is Earth Day! Perfect timing. :) So today, I laid out 50 feet of soaker hose and hooked it to a timer, then laid 7 bags of soil on top, then planned out the plants and seeds I'll plant tomorrow. Have tomatoes in the pot (that's also hooked up to the soaker! woohoo) . . . then a knock out rose, black berry bush, and raspberry bush. Those are lettuce seeds in front that I'll plant (yes, I know they need to come out of the packets, just planning! LOL) . . . then strawberries, peppers, mint, carrot seeds, lavender, lilac, beans, rosemary, oregano, and corn seeds at the end. I bought all these seeds last week, and figured I might as well plant them in my "test garden" and see how they do! Cost me an even $200 for all the tools, dirt, hose, plants and seeds.

April 21, 2011

2011-04-21T19:50:00.003-05:00

Hope my landlord doesn't get mad . . . but I just chopped down all his hedges by the deck! They were blocking my view of the backyard, and it REALLY needed to be redone. They were UGLY! Gonna go get a soaker hose, a timer, and a bunch of bags of top soil tomorrow. If the weather cooperates this weekend, I'll plant me a garden all along the house.

[no picture today, putting benefit enrollment form in scrapbook]
Had to meet with the Cigna benefit coordinator today. Our health benefit year runs from July to June, so it's time for change . . . and it's not good. :( We can keep the "traditional" plan with the co-pay and pay twice as much as last year, or go to the "choice" plan and not have a co-pay. Had planned to play the odds and go with the choice plan, but after Evan's accident decided to play it safe.

April 19, 2011

2011-04-19T22:14:00.003-05:00

Wow! Long day! Left work at 1, kissed Evan hello at 2, he went into surgery around 3, finished around 7, and got to see him after 8. This was Dr. Patel in the waiting room telling us how the surgery went . . . lots of anxious family listening!

April 18, 2011

2011-04-18T19:43:00.005-05:00

I don't know if it's sympathy pain, or stress, or something I did . . . but MY back is messed up now! Not nearly as bad as Evan's (left arrow in picture), and I don't think mine is really my back. I went to the chiropractor today after the last 24 hours in MAJOR pain, and he said I "slipped a rib" (right arrow above). It killed me to breath! I'm hoping after my adjustment, some rest, and some advil I'll be feeling as good as Evan with that morphine drip! LOL

April 17, 2011

2011-04-17T18:35:00.003-05:00

Evan's had his first surgery today. The doc removed all the damaged bone fragments, and has to go in from the front tomorrow or Tuesday to put in his "robo" parts. I went to see him this afternoon, and he was HIGH as a kite! LOL Probably won't even remember I was there, but I have photo proof! ;-) Also took a TON of food for the family, since they've been up there since Friday. Too bad Evan can't eat any - hopefully after his next surgery . . . he'll be up there for a week. :(

April 16, 2011

2011-04-16T07:28:00.003-05:00

What a scary night!! My mom called me crying at about 10pm last night, and I was so worried . . . my first thought was that their was a forest fire out there, because there have been so many around here. But it was Evan (my nephew). Someone posted this picture to his facebook account right after my mom called me. He was riding his dirt bike, and did a jump and landed bad. They took him to the hospital, he had an MRI late last night, and found out he broke his back (L3). He's moving his arms and legs, and is in ICU. I guess they will do surgery today?

April 15, 2011

2011-04-15T18:31:00.003-05:00

Robert took the day off, so Chili got to help him in the backyard. Our fence got blown over by the storms, so he had to fix that, and Robert is prep'ing the yard for my "white trash" pool! woohoooo

April 14, 2011

2011-04-14T18:27:00.002-05:00

I had to get gas this morning, and this is the CHEAP place to get gas. SIGH!! Cost me almost 60 bucks! And have to fill up atleast once a week. That's over $3,000 a year just to go to work. :(

April 13, 2011

2011-04-13T21:22:00.003-05:00

Got my new HRM (heart rate monitor) in the mail today. It came so fast. I just ordered it Sunday night. I spent a LOT of time researching which one I should get, so I'm really happy with it already . . . just hope it motivates me to use it in the morning!

April 12, 2011

2011-04-12T19:06:00.003-05:00

Forgot to take a picture today . . . and Robert grilled steaks, and they were SOOOO good, so I shoulda taken a picture of that, but I forgot. This pic is from Saturday, and thought it would look cute next to yesterday's picture!

April 11, 2011

2011-04-11T20:27:00.002-05:00

I'm not having a good day, so I "stole" a picture that my mom took of my dad and Luke. I needed something to make me smile today . . .

April 10, 2011

2011-04-10T11:10:00.002-05:00

Got that sign with hooks on the right yesterday. I was out shopping, just wasting time at Hobby Lobby, and saw it for 10 bucks and HAD to have it for Robert and Chili's "Man Cave".

April 9, 2011

2011-04-09T19:41:00.002-05:00

Check out the fish Heather (my stepson's girlfriend) caught! I wasn't there to witness it (Chili and I were fixin' dinner) . . .but I'm told it was a joint effort. I ain't buyin' in! GIRL POWER! ;-)

April 8, 2011

2011-04-08T21:14:00.002-05:00

This whole thing just makes me SOOoooo angry! ALL of these politicians need to be fired! Get rid of them ALL, and revamp the whole system. It's BROKE . . . and so is this country!

April 7, 2011

2011-04-07T19:50:00.002-05:00

I'm not much of a gamer, but every once an awhile a game peaks my interest. This one did when it came out, but since I get 25% off of used games, I knew I needed to wait awhile. New this game cost about $60 . . . I got this on sale today for $14.90 (tax included!). Of course, I was killed about 30 minutes in . . like normal! :)

April 6, 2011

2011-04-06T20:08:00.002-05:00

Ohhhh MAN! Does Boston Rob MAKE Survivor or WHAT??! It wouldn't be NEAR as exciting without him. I think he has a really good chance of winning it this time!

April 5, 2011

2011-04-05T20:34:00.003-05:00

ugghhh . . . the traffic was SO bad this morning. Took me over an hour to go 32 miles, and it backed up the minute I got on the highway. It was a wreck on the OTHER side that was gone by the time I got to that point.

April 4, 2011

2011-04-04T20:10:00.003-05:00

It's a good thing fruit is ZERO points on the new weight watchers plan. As bad as I ate this weekend, fruit is about the only splurge I'm allowed the rest of the week (plus a little cool whip "free").

April 3, 2011

2011-04-03T14:54:00.003-05:00

Laundry Day! 4 loads while I watch the Rangers kick ASS!! Ian Kinsler got a home run again, for the 3rd game in a row . . . and my Kinsler shirt is CLEAN! Can't beat that. LOL ;-)

Robert took me to the new "Babe's Chicken" in Arlington for lunch. It was good, but not "all that!" . . . it would have been just as good to make my own healthier sides, with a bucket of Chicken from KFC! LOL

2011-04-01T22:04:00.004-05:00

Here's a picture from our "Opening Day" potluck lunch . . . about an hour after this, my boss turned in her resignation. Last lunch as THIS group . . . I'm not fond of change, but hopefully the grass is greener . . .

Sitting in my bed, watchin' American Idol, enjoying my CLEAN house! The new cleaning service did REALLY good!! That paper on my dresser is a thank you letter they left me.

March 30, 2011

2011-03-31T19:55:00.002-05:00

Did three big loads of sheets and towels tonight when I got home from work. Changed the sheets on both beds, washed the blankets and duvet covers, and barely sat down till I went to bed. Had to clean all the stuff the new cleaning lady wouldn't do the next morning.

March 29, 2011

2011-03-29T18:45:00.002-05:00

Robert had to go to Cleburne to help his mom with something, and he brought back something for ME! His mom made this beaded purse for me. It's so pretty . . . now Robert needs to take me somewhere "fancy" so I can use it!

March 28, 2011

2011-03-28T19:49:00.003-05:00

A little work drama today! LOL I have some emails that will go in my scrapbook . . they are just too AMAZING not to save! ugggghhhhh . . . too many WOMEN in my department!

2011-03-24T20:52:00.002-05:00

Went shopping today . . . see a theme?? First I found the scarf, then the wallet, then the shoes (all at TJ Maxx), then got the nail polish to go with it at Ulta. Fingers and toes are all painted, waiting for Pink Friday. :)

March 23, 2011

2011-03-23T19:44:00.002-05:00

Thanks Mom!! I got the nail strengthener that you sent me. It's called Quimica Alemana, and Mom heard about how great it was and got us both a bottle. I just painted my nails last night, so this is the "before" shot . . . guess I'll try it this weekend.

March 22, 2011

2011-03-22T19:15:00.002-05:00

FINALLY found someone to clean our house! Very professional, insured, and now just waiting to get into their rotation! woohoooo

2011-03-21T19:56:00.003-05:00

Robert is recording his "next" hit (it's actually really good, can't wait to hear the finished product) . . . I think Chili really likes it! ;-) This is pretty much where both of them spend all their time lately.

March 20, 2011

2011-03-20T14:10:00.003-05:00

After eating 100 points yesterday (my max per day is 32, with 49 "extra" points per week), it was time to clean out the frig of CRAP! Guess who isn't on a diet in our house! LOL Sundae on Sunday for Chili!

My boss took me to get a pedicure for my birthday (she was on vacation till today). I didn't want a cake or lunch since I'm trying to loose weight . . . so she came up with the GREAT idea for a pedicure!

March 16, 2011

2011-03-16T20:25:00.003-05:00

Got this cookbook today at my Weight Watchers at work meeting. I won the "door prize", so I got it for half price too! woohooo It actually has some really good recipes in it. (stuff that NORMAL people eat!) Gotta love that!

March 15, 2011

2011-03-15T20:07:00.004-05:00

Robert got a new game today for the PS3 - Top Spin 4 (a tennis game). I offered to set it up for him (that's his and my players on the TV), and you'd think I'd have an easier time of it since I work for Gamestop (atleast I got a discount!). It would probably be easier if the remotes were charged . . . and it takes 5 hours to charge! I was lucky to get this far . . . I think he's gonna have to play it tomorrow!

My birthday flowers are SOOO pretty! Lesson for you sweetie . . . Walmart flowers are almost always prettier and cheaper than ordering online for delivery!

Robert made me a strawberry cake for my birthday!! It was sooooo good! It looked so pretty too. We went shopping yesterday, and I got all kinds of stuff for my birthday (and with my house cleaning money!). . . New nike's for only $30, new shower head, new rug for my kitchen. Happy Birthday for me!

Why am I cursed at finding someone to clean my house?? The last one I fired Wednesday for canceling last minute 3 times in a row, and this one canceled on me at 8:30 last night. SIGHH If anyone knows someone that will actually SHOW UP when they say they will . . . I'd LOVE to use them! This is the second swiffer pad, AFTER mopping the whole floor TWICE with bleach!! What a GREAT birthday weekend!

The supplies I ordered for our "file clean-up" came today. We need to clean out 3 years of returns out of about 250 files. My boss is out till the end of next week, so thought it would be a good time to get it done.

Mom, I have bad news! Turns out our floors are REALLY dirty. Mom and I had this theory that these swiffer pads turn brown automatically when you spray the liquid on them, because our floors could NOT be so dirty (especially when we had just cleaned them!). This pad is SOAKED with the cleaning fluid, and I even folded in on itself to put pressure on it (to release the 'brown') and it didn't work! LOL WHITE! And there's my painted nails that I worked all night getting the fake nails off . . .

You wouldn't think my OWN tax return would be difficult considering I'm a TAX ACCOUNTANT for the last 15 years . . . thing is, I'm a CORPORATE tax accountant, so personal taxes aren't something I look at frequently. Robert settled some old tax issues last year, and part of that agreement was that the IRS would keep his refund for 2010 . . therefore making ME the injured spouse. Add living in a community property state, and the issues just multiply. I filed our return today after half a dozen calls to the IRS. SIGHHH

[posting early for my OWN motivation! LOL]

OK, starting Sunday morning . . . Chalene's gonna be on my ASS every morning (hopefully a shrinking ass!). Bought this DVD set a year ago after trying P90x, and it's been collecting dust. P90x was more "male focused" and ChaLean is more "female focused". You need dumbbells (it was too difficult with the bands for me), and Robert wouldn't let me use them last time because he was. Now he wants bigger weights, so they are MINE! Got motivated watching the Turbo Fire infomercial (same lady) VERY early Saturday morning when I couldn't sleep. Might even be getting Turbo Fire soon to mix in the cardio with the weights. I'm GONNA do it this time . . NO EXCUSES!

We were supposed to go house shopping, have lunch with Ian and Heather, see their new apartment, and get groceries today . . . but Robert woke up in pain because of his back, and I "woke up" cranky because I didn't get any sleep last night. So Robert spent the day in bed, and I spent the day in my craft room.

Created the sign up sheet for our little department potluck today (a couple of us came up with the idea yesterday). It's been kinda tough for our department "morale" wise . . so we need some team building.

Ya think he's bored all day by himself?? Can't even sit down and eat my frozen dinner without him trying to play ball with me . . . and he USUALLY plays keep away and won't give me the ball, so he REALLY must be wantin' some attention.

These are my favorite shoes! . . . and I got them at Payless! SHOCKER! I get a ton of compliments on them, and they are pretty comfortable for being so high. I do have to wear other shoes to walk into work though, since it's such a hike!

How can I NOT make Charlie Sheen the "picture of the day"? LOL What a train wreck, and I can't wait to watch more of the wreck on TV tonight! He used to be so CUTE . . . he looks like he's on the way to the GRAVE now!

OMG! I can't believe this! I watch the Bachelor/Bachlorette every season . . . and have been following the spoilers on this website as since it started. With 2 weeks to go, he retracted who the final girl is! BIG NEWS . . . can you believe it?! LOL ;-)

Finally found a way to store the trash bags, ziplocs, foil, wax paper, etc . . . and I'm SO excited (whatever floats your boat, huh? LOL) Found this slide out thingy yesterday, and thought it would be PERFECT and it IS! Everything was just thrown under the sink and a MESS, and now it's organized! YEAH!

Finally got "permission" to redecorate Ian's old room. It's now Chili's room! (that we'll use as a guest room or the "snore relief" room) LOL I got all new bedding, and a TV to replace Ian's that he took with him.

Got my annual review today at work (that's what will go in my scrapbook, so no picture today). I'm not "happy" with it . . . but I did get a raise, and I am still employed . . . so I got THAT goin' for me! LOL I didn't end up in tears today (like other's at work did with their review), but that's probably because I had been cryin' about it for the last 2 weeks! :)

Saw this on my way home . . .

cracked me UP! Especially after the last couple of weeks. Anne asked if I rear ended her . . . I said maybe I need to get her info for Gamestop!? We obviously need her help! LOL

This was about the only good thing today! (only 2 points each) Pity Party of one please! It's kinda depressing when you don't like your job AND you suck at it! :(

Here's what my dinner was tonight. (banana under all those cheerios, and Chili ate some of it cuz I put too much in the bowl) Didn't have many points left after our auditors took us to Copeland's for lunch. Shrimp alfredo, crab cake, and cheesecake! arrgghhh . . . so good, but SO bad!

I haven't painted my nails in AGES! It's a kinda beige-ish-gray. I highly recommend the top coat . . . I had read the reviews, and it's as awesome as they said it was. Dries SUPER fast! It's called Seche Vite. (used the 3 bottles standing up, and the base coat with the purple top right in front)

Had a little retail therapy today . . . Ulta, Kohls, got my nails done, got my car washed, AND got groceries! Had to clean out my makeup drawer to make room for the new stuff, and cleaned out the drawer in the spare bathroom for my growing nail polish collection. (aren't those tiny bottles CUTE!?)

Anne, Brandon, and I went and celebrated the fact that the tax entries are DONE!! Haven't been to Chipotle in so long, and it was SO good! We discussed the fact that our punishment for screwing up this week, is going to be "quarterly hell weeks" instead of the "annual hell week" that we just finished. :(
