First of all, what's up with all the wise ass anonymous commenters on the last post? "Anonymous" annoys the hell out of me when you don't sign your name. Plus didn't you read down a few posts where I discuss my sitemeter? You're never really anonymous. I can find you. Now I appreciate a smart ass as much as the next guy. Because I am one, too. And the comments weren't bad. But if you're going to step up and say it, at least have the balls to sign your name to it. It's a pet peeve of mine. And yes, it's a public blog that anyone can read. But when you comment, I feel like you are ~in essence~ speaking directly to me. I wouldn't come into your house without introducing myself. Don't make me have to start moderating my comments and deleting all the anonymous ones. Just play nice. Enough about that...
****Update***** Mystery solved. It has been confirmed. The smart ass anon is my little brother. ALL of the anon comments are him.....and have been for quite awhile. Even as adults they never stop screwing with you. Geez.... Oh and this is proof that smart ass-edness runs in the family. Yes I just made up my own word.
I owe an overdue thank you to my super cool Secret Pal. Here's what I got this month. Neat, huh? I love these Baby Einstein DVD's. This is one that teaches sign. Love it. Thanks SP!
These came from my blogger buddies,
Dawn, Jacob & Lily over at
Eggrolls & Chopsticks. Penguin biscuits all the way from the UK! Now here we just call them cookies. Hmmm...maybe they did taste a little fancier since they were British and all. I'm glad I took a pic cuz they didn't last long. De-lish! Thanks guys!
I'm making progress on my bedroom re-do. I've only had the time and energy to tackle it a little at a time. Which is why I've had a ladder in there for nearly 3 months now. But it's getting there. Pics soon.
ABSOLUTE FINAL LAST CALL FOR QUILT SQUARES!
And I mean it this time. My grandma is coming next Friday from Wisconsin to pick up the fabric.We'll spend a few hours looking through the squares, figuring out a pattern and deciding on fabric for the edging and reverse side. Then she'll go home and start the work on it. So if you want to be included in Mia's 100 Good Wishes Quilt this is your last chance to get me a square. Seriously. Last chance. If it doesn't get here by Friday, I can mail it on to her. BUT IT NEEDS TO GET HERE SOON or you'll be S.O.L. Click on the quilt link in the sidebar to scroll through what we have so far if you can't remember if you sent one or not. Drop me an e-mail if you're gonna send one. And thanks to everyone who contributed! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
My sister,
Carla, jumped on the blogger train awhile back. You can follow her crazy life as the mother of four over at
Tales Of The T's. Now we've gotten my brother on board too. Well, it's actually his girlfriend's blog but he has a starring role. Check out
Travis, Kristy and her son, Braeden over at
My Little Man. For anyone in the family that's wants to follow them regularly, there are links to both blogs in my sidebar. Now you'll never have to wonder what we've been up to cuz you can just read it. Why didn't we think of this sooner?? Certainly saves on long distance calls ....and you get to see pics of all the kids! Cool!
That's all I got for ya today. Peace out.

The second big fat congratulations is for my baby brother who finally finished barber college and passed the test to become a licensed barber! Kudos to him not only for all the hard work and sacrifice that it took to do this but also for realizing that it's never too late to change your mind if you're not happy. He took a risk by leaving a stable, financially secure job that he hated to go back to school and start over. That took guts. Not many people are brave enough to do that. Especially when they're nearing 30 and have a house payment. Congratulations Travis! I know you'll be a great success. And you'll be happy making a living doing what you enjoy!
Oh and this is our youngest nephew, Teagan, getting his first haircut from Uncle Travis. Cute, huh?
