Tuesday Tid Bits

very cool weather ~ I wish I had spent more time outside

~

got a bit of morning rain so, I re-fertilized the front

~

Craving PINK lemonade ~ did you know that lemon water preferably hot is great for combating cholesterol? Provided you don't add sweetener!

~

I was a slacker most of the day... shame on me

~

The misty weather was fun for our evening playtime with the kiddos

~

Honey finished off the fertilizer on the last half of the backyard

~

Cooked up some turkey treats for dinner

we watched the tube and then...

~

I should of realized honey didn't feel like walking

I got him out of the house but that didn't go well...

we had a disagreement which, is very unusual for us

100 yards up the road he turned around and headed back home

Crikit & I continued on through the neighborhood

the still damp night made me feel so very alone

~

but when we returned home sigh

he was no where to be found downstairs

so I got the dogs ready for bed, cleared up the kitchen

headed up to find that he was already asleep...

I don't like going to bed without clearing things up first but

that's life sometimes... sigh

MONDAY notes: planted the ivy's and called the niece for a chat

Just Bit's

The weather has been so nice I made it a point today to hang out front with Ginger and pick up acorns.

~

Yuck, our new neighbor's are loud but what can you do, at least so far it's not been a regular thing.

~

I had a whole slue of errands to run but since I could not find my auto registration renewal well, I decided to focus on gathering recycle items for Thursday pickup and look for the form of course.

~

Watched Private Practice which, I thought was going to be more of a humorous show but the main storyline got the tears rolling. Some may say it's just a show but the story line of babies being accidentally switched at birth, the parents find out, the mistake is corrected and each have to deal with the heartache of it all. The more devastating twist was that one family that had the healthy baby learned their true baby had a short time to live. I could feel the pain and all the actors did a phenomenal job.

~

Thank goodness the ankle was better and we headed out the door with Sparky for our evening walk. The girls were not happy they were left behind but the boy sure did love it. He kept us at a fast pace! You go boy!

~

Hmmm well, Tuesday I know I was busy but... what I do remember is that I went grocery shopping and met a truly interesting soul, Pat. After a long chat about history/war he experienced, I encouraged him to start a blogspot for his family and friends. I'll let y'all know if he does since we have already exchanged e's, I feel certain he will let me know once he starts. Oh and if anyone saw the Ellen show... oh my gosh I fell in love with that little girl... so adorable in every way and I am certain she is going to make her mark in this world... definitely a gift from God... it was a blessing that I stopped to watch... but by evening both of us felt too tired to walk... ~sigh~ it happens...

Woohoo ~

Date Day!

enough said

I must go beautify

-

Change can be good...

-

Question: ~ Why did you change the look of your blog?
-
Answer: ~ Well, Dad of The Lot showed interest in blogging with me when I was doing the kids blog. So when he suggested we have a joint blog I decided to make the colors 'manly' ... that way he would be more comfortable. Well, DOTL has only posted I think hmmm once... I figured I would go back to using my most favorite color ~pink~ after all I originally started the dogs blog in all pink & blue... We're getting close to the 100th post it was time for a change.

-

FYI... If it's posted in blue: ~ Dad of The Lot was on but pink... well, you get the jest :)
-

I feel a wave of happy coming over me ~ awwwwh

Health Notes

~sigh~ 1st day with no soda...

I'm already feeling the withdrawal...

-

I've tried to quit many times over. The longest I have gone is maybe 45 days?

My goal is to refrain from buying any for the home pleasure and only have it when we go out. ugh... That just sounds cruel... I've failed before but I am always willing to try and try again...

it is so unhealthy for me ~sigh~

On the positive side: we made time for a mile walk with the baby last night. She did really great considering this was one of the longest walks she has ever been on. She got scared near the end of the route when we had to pass two people walking towards us and then shortly there after a car pulled up next to the sidewalk... that's when we knew she'd had enough and wanted to be at home safe. Even her purifial vision gave her a scare. She did good though and when we got home we went out back on deck to cool down and throw the ball for the other two left home; we needed to wear them out a little before bed. Ginger seems to be a little slow moving this morning but I know she would do it again in a minute!

Date Day!!

Hello My Friends... I choose to blame the computer for my being away...

Oh My Gosh it’s Date Day again and I haven’t posted all week! I could call myself “slacker” but I won’t lol… I’m too happy it’s Date Day already!
-
Today is a blessing in itself but a couple of unexpected one’s too… found some money in the laundry room woohoo and not coins if you know what I mean plus a couple of hours into the morning I was craving a sweet which, we try to avoid having much in the house but to my joyful surprise I came across a pack of m&m’s … how great was that lol God sure does provide!
-

SO a week in wrap up:

-
Friday was scrumptious as usual but we stuffed beyond our contentment and we skipped the Friday Night Lights and headed home. We chose to enjoy our fullness in the comfort of our lounge chairs. The kids enjoyed having us back home I’m sure because they knew they would get their bread sticks sooner than later.

Sat & Sun we were slackers… we were in slow mow… we did our shopping errands first thing Sat and then lounged the rest of the weekend. Pretty much a whole lot of rest & relaxation was our mission.

M-T-W-T… well, a lot of computer problems that started last Thursday did some transplanting, a tiny bit of yard piddling, house cleaning, TV watching and hubby enjoyed many successes. An exciting addition to our week was that two of the nights included the hubby & I walking. W- we took Ginger on a short walk around the block to get our mojo going and Th- we took our big girl Crikit on a brisk walk that was just a hair short of 2-miles. Tonight will be Sparky’s turn and this time we will do the full 2-mile route. Cheers to a good health decision… hope we can keep it up since we have failed at this many times over… finger crossed!

Yeah! Dad of The Lot, kids & me wish everyone

Happy Weekend!
