Little Red

Makes the drive totally worth while. 

Slight delay.

It is very frustrating when you get to the top of the next page and realize it makes no sense.  Especially in the middle of the night.  It was a long time until the bookstore would open. 

Happy Birthday Weenie!!

Pearl is five today!  

I asked her what she wanted and she said, "To get rid of the kitties."  So that's what I'm going to do.  If anyone wants two free kittens...just let me know.  I'd hate to disappoint my little birthday girl!  

Happy Birthday Pearly!!

p.s. Big thanks to Lori and Kayley for singing happy birthday to Pearl today.  It made her day.

Happy Halloween!

Sadie with her lady bug hat.

Look Uncle Lonnie, I'm a genuine hot dog!

The whole gang!  

Pearls first wiener-dog races!!

Pearl and I went to the Sidney Octoberfest this weekend.   At the last minute we registered for the wiener-dog races.  She placed fourth in both of her heats but did not advance to the finals.  There were wiener-dogs everywhere...and it was HILARIOUS!!

Kelli is old.

Happy birthday to you, 

Happy birthday to you, 

Happy birthday dear Keeeeeeeelllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiii, 

Why is Brandon trying to light your hair on fire?

27  -- YES!

Look who I saw last week...

Grandma Marie and a twin.

Taya and a twin.
Kayley.
Twin.
Twin.

Identical?  Not totally, but identical enough for me! 

 I figure at least I can still tell Taya and Kayley apart.  

My new plates

These are my "brand new" plates I got at Salvation Army. 

They're actually kinda creepy...but FUN!!!

Happy Birthday Taya!

Happy belated birthday to Taya.  

The big 11!!  Actually, I'm not sure if it's her age...or how many boyfriends she has!!!

Leave it to her to ask for ribs and potato salad for her birthday.  

Holy moly...babies everywhere.

This is me with all of my nieces and nephwes.  

From left to right: Taya, Trevin, Kaden, and Kayley.

  

Does it show I'm used to just a wiener-dog?

Sharing is fun!

Owen came to visit a few weeks ago. He really liked Pearls blanket and bed.

Happy birthday!

Happy first birthday to Jori.

Snails galore!

Tonight I transplanted a couple of hundred snails into Holmes Lake.
Now my sucker-fish can get a little something to eat!

Uh-oh...

"I wanna live in Lincoln!"

morning what?

I have never been much of a morning person. In fact, I've always been quite the opposite.
I am finding mornings are easier to enjoy when you are getting off work at 7:30 in the morning. So much to see. Especially now spring is here! I even found a cute little purple flower among my yellow flowers this morning! What a wonderful surprise! Now I am going to bed.

Look what I found!

I love nice weather--if for nothing else, for the ability to wear my sandals.
I tried to get these sandals re-soled last year, but they were too far gone to be fixed. So I bought a new pair. They are okay, but I still wear the old ones most of the time.

the woes of new furniture

I love my new sofa, couch, davenport...whatever you want to call it. But now I find again, I have furniture that will eat my remotes. It took me 5-10 minutes to find them today. Part of it is because I haven't had the TV on in 3 days (reading again! Yeah!), the other part is because the couch had devoured them. Ah well, I think it's worth it.

I know it's not a good photo, but it was already in my files. Plus, if anyone is wondering...yes, the pillows came with it. I didn't pick those out!

meow

That's right...I can Tangram like a mo-fo!
I even did this while speaking on the phone....hey-ay!

"Tiger Lilly Was Pretty Good Too."

Count my mistakes whatever the cost.
Luke says, "Happy Birthday to Luke. Um...it's the Reese's thanks for the memories. That's all I wanna say. I want to thank Mr. Reese's for the products that keep our lives together."
Josh says, "Ueah, back in 1997...anyways...(shrug)...is better than ice cream."
Lynnett says, "I love my friends!"

Yummy...

This is little Pearl eating her Easter dinner last week.
Yep--this is how I spent my Easter.

"sister"

My brother sent me this photo montage. He apparently thinks the photo's I post tend to have a drinking/alcohol theme.
Do you agree?

*poof*

Uh...so I brushed the beagle today.

I'm thinking of starting a pillow-making business.
Or sweaters...we'll see.

I find...

I find...with age, comes maturity.

Here's to the big 2-9.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

So I walked into the kitchen and...

If four Nuns were running around on your kitchen table...what would you do?

Well yes...yes I am.

Dear folks who look at my little blog; I haven't been posting lately because I have what may be the most effed up work schedule known to man. I work four 10 hour shifts a week. These are divided up between evening (1:30pm-10:00pm) and overnight (9:00pm-7:30am) shifts. Usually a couple of each a week. So my body is still trying to adjust, which equals...no motivation whatsoever.
I'm going home for my grandma's birthday party this weekend...maybe I can get some photo's worth posting. So until then, this one is for Sarah.
I have posted again!

hello

This is what happens when I look at the ceiling after a few beers.

my roommate

My roommate made this photo.

Kudos to you Dave, kudos to you.

Thanks!

Thanks for the use of your photo studio!
