Some really good friends of ours, J & R, have a big Halloween party every year where each of their kids gets to invite 5 kids each, so there was about 25-30 kids. Needless to say they needed our help. Rob and R have become great friends over the past couple of years. R’s boys are in our cub scout pack and R is one of the Assistant cub masters. Although our kids are varying in age, you would never know. We’ve been over to their house a few times in the last couple months and we don’t hear a…
1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up, just like my 2 uncles. 2. As an adult, my dream job would be either a house wife, or after my kids leave home, I’d like a job to that travels, but like I’ve said before I’m pretty in love with my job now! 3. When I was younger I wanted to be just like 4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was a punk rocker. 5. My favorite childhood toy was Cabbage Patch Kids. 6. The time I…
Although, a few weeks ago I was trying so hard to get my pics uploaded and put here for my 365, I’ve taken on a few new projects that have consumed every extra second of the day. I’m still working on my sister’s wedding pics. Yes, I’m going very slowly with them. I’m also catching up with old video clips that I’ve taken with my video camera. I’ve had to remake some of the videos because when I made the original movie I didn’t make the different sizes. I just made them strictly for web use. Anyway, hadn’t been too…
Today we worked on Wolf Elective #13. We first went out and looked for birds. We were able to find a few birds. The boys had a hard time being quiet, which scared away the majority of the birds. After that we went inside and made the good ole standby activity; peanut butter pinecone bird feeders. Bonus: eating the peanut butter!
1. Something popular that I can’t stand/just don’t “get” is the whole Starbucks craze. I don’t like coffee and even if I did, spending $6 on a drink (that doesn’t contain alcohol) is just crazy! 2. Something unpopular that I secretly love is my Down comforter …. I don’t know if that’s unpopular or not … I couldn’t think of anything else. 3. When I’ve had a bad day I just try to chill out in front of the TV, or better yet, just going to sleep it off. 4. I’d prefer to be sleeping right now. 5. Something that…
There are so many things that I’m struck by that I want to write about, but the words just don’t come to me or if they do they don’t make any sense. This time, I don’t care. I’m just in complete disbelief that Steve Jobs, the founder and creative genius of Apple Computers has passed away. He always said, “if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.” He wrote is resignation letter on August. 24,…
Today was my birthday and it was good. My day started off by having to go the Auburn Satellite Office to get my tags renewed. Nothing like waiting to the last minute, but I’ve never done it before and didn’t realize Rob would want me to do it this year. Anyway, being that it was the last day of the month it was PACKED. I was there for over an hour waiting in line. After that I decided to go home for a bit and pick up a few things and then go shopping, but after emailing Rob where I…
Today Drew’s Cub Scout Den went on a field trip to a crop rotation field, which we were able to make off 15e (Visit a botanical garden or other agricultural exhibition in your area.) in his Wolf book . There they grow cotton, soy beans, and corn. This crop rotation study is 100 years old this year. Pretty amazing! Cullars Rotation Soy Beans: These are used for making plastics. This particular crop is not the type of soy bean that is used for foods. Busted cotton Look at my baby! See all the pictures from this den meeting here. At…
I can’t believe I actually have recent pic of me thanks to my Dad! I usually never have pics of me, because I’m the one holding the camera. OR it never fails that when Rob grabs the camera I’m not in any state to have my picture taken. I actually look half-way decent here. 😉
2 Songs….that I have as ringtones are: Viva la Vida Rolling in the Deep
I have not been able to read lately. Just too darn busy and when I’m not busy, I’m exhausted and just not in the mood to read. So it’s not the desire to that’s lacking and that’s a good thing!

Today talking about 9 loves. I’m thinking outside the box for this one… 1. A clean house. You just don’t even know how much I cherish the times that my house is clean, organized, and clutter free. It’s amazing how I just feel so much better about life when I have a clean house. If you need extra storage space after decluttering your home, you may consider renting a storage unit at a self storage facility. There are various sizes and types of storage units that can accommodate your belongings. 2. Clean sheets. I love sliding into bed with soft,…
So I am still swamped with many projects that I have not been able to wrap up, but I’m hoping by next week many of those will be closer to being complete. Very ready for that! So in the mean time, I found this “10 Day You Challenge” that I’m going to try and do. So for the 1st post, I’m to tell you about 10 secrets….WOW! I’m not sure I have 10 secrets to tell, but I’ll see what I can do. 1. I was trying to look back to see if I’ve ever talked about this before here…
…and lots of details just so I’ll remember them Here’s a collage of today’s wedding rehearsal. It was held at the Groom’s Parents house. I was very impressed by how Nikki and Chris started the rehearsal off. They thanked everyone for coming and Nikki went around and told everyone’s name. Then, Chris went expressed the need for everyone to get along and basically said that if you have something negative to say to keep your mouth shut! I loved it! The night went very smoothly and after all the details were mulled over and the walking was practiced….several times, we…
1. You should always take time to do something for yourself. 2. Puppy dogs make(s) the world a happier place to be. 3. I can hardly wait for Fall! 4. Friday is my favorite day of the week. 5. Something totally dumb and ridiculous that I love is reality TV. 6. If I could, I would travel the world. 7. I rather like sleeping.
Oh blog. How I miss you and wish I could spend more time with you, but I can’t even see straight right now. I did feel the need to update you though, because you are supposed to tell the story of my life and well you know that most of the time when I post it’s usually something unsubstantial. So what’s been going on with me and the fam? – I’ve been swamped trying to get Soccer league pictures edited and ordered and delivered by my deadline at the end of the month. That is STRESS! – On top of…
