2 Minute Sneak Peek: Dexter Season 7 - I love this show

TGIF

I wander how long that woman practiced that move before doing it in public. She doesn't even miss a beat.

Happy Friday Everyone. Stay Safe.

1/2 Way There

I don't have a whole lot to say today other than this week has been a bit depressing.
Laying in bed trying to sleep Sunday night I read a Wise County Messenger post on facebook that informed me one of our friends had been killed in a car accident.

Like that is going to help me sleep.

Not only was Keith a friend, he was also a co-worker of my husband so I quickly rolled over and broke the news.

Keith was a good man. He was funny, smart and above all loyal to his family and friends.

Going to fast down a road and meeting a tree will definitely send you to heaven in most cases.

Come to think of it, that is the second friend of mine that has been killed by losing control and slamming into a tree.

Keith was just married in February to a girl I went to school with. She had two kids prior, and from what I understand had just lost a baby with Keith.

Sad Sad Sad...

It's been 8 months since we lost Ashley unexpectedly to a rare aneurysm. I know it's life and things happen and people go on but it gets a bit depressing sometimes.

I feel for Keith's wife and step kids. I cannot imagine losing my husband, especially to something as horrible as a car accident, or any accident for that matter.

Just proves you never know when you are going to go be with the Lord.

REST IN PEACE KEITH JOZWIAK

Gone but not forgotten...

Ps.

I didn't know snakes had teeth like this. Kind of a scary picture. This was in our shop, where I work out everyday :0

Friday Friday !!!!

I saw THAT last weekend in North Richalnd Hills. WTF?? Some people....

- I haven't wrote in a while because I really haven't felt like it and quite frankly have not had much to say I guess.

-  I need a vacation. I want to go back to Mexico but the extra money we have layed aside has to go to more important things I suppose.

-  We managed to burn up our new radio receiver. I guess that is what happens when it blares full blast rocking songs for 12 hours straight in the 100 degree heat. We are less than a month from our one year warranty being out, so I guess I can't bitch too much.

- I love my husband but I am starting to become jealous of the benefits he gets from working and doing what he does. He gets to go golfing all the time, he gets to go  fishing in Texoma next week, and damn it, I can't go!! I get off early every Friday this month and guess what I get to do??? Go home and sit in a quiet house. Or I can do yard work I guess... He is lucky.

- Althouhg, I can't bitch too much because we got to go to the Ranger game about a month ago and sit in a box. All the free food and beer you want. Air conditioned and all, it was awesome.

- I hate grocery shopping.

- We killed two snakes in one day at my house. I am beginning to think killing the bull snake was a bad idea since I have pulled two dead mice out of our pool skimmer. Gross, I know.

- Anyways, I gotta get back to work. Everyone be safe and have a great weekend.

It Could Happen To You

Happy hump day...

To all my peeps...

Mexico I my backyard oh yeh!

So we got everything planted and it looks amazing!! 5 Florida sables and a pindo palm later it looks so good!
Now time to drink and chillax!!

I grew these myself

And they were delicious!

WTF

That is all.

Thirsty Thursday !!

This is what I will be planting ALL weekend long.

Just when I thought our backyard was complete, we decide to add big palms to it. Granted, it will look super nice but man I'm getting tired of working in the back yard. It's never ending.

I have to go grocery shopping after work and I hate going to the store.

The price of groceries puts me in a hateful mood.

I have been reading a book on Auschwitz. Oh My. I cannot believe what I have read so far. What a sad and depressing time.

We had a little get together last Saturday and all my nephews came to swim and my sisters came over. It was such a great time. I love my family.

If my husband damages the grass this weekend with any type of machinery, I might have to smack him in the face.

Not joking.

Apparently these palms weigh 400-500 pounds so the only way to get them where you want them is to move with them with an excavator or Bobcat.

I want to find a really good blogger app for my nook or iPhone. Any suggestions??

Last Friday I was driving to work and to take Sadie to the vet and my back window just busted and shattered everywhere. After I spent an hour vacuuming it out look what I found...

Hubby says it came off a tie down from an 18 wheeler. Geez.... good thing it didn't come through the windshield and bust me in the face... jack waggons....

Oh, and Sadie was limping for about 2 weeks and I finally took her to the vet. The vet says she "severed her ACL" and she will need a $1,500.00 surgery.

It's funny because she is starting to walk better on it now and has a sight limp. Could very well be the pain pills though.

He says it's common in dogs...

 Really Mr. Vet???!!!  Then why, if it's so common does it costs $1,500.00 to  fix?????????????????????????????????????????????

Sometimes I think they tell you the worst so you'll pay the most. So... I requested the Xrays.

He told me when I requested them that I would not be able to see the torn ACL. But I paid for the damn things, I should at least get to see what I paid for dammit!

Ok, I think that is all. I'll try and post pictures after the palms are in the ground. Say a prayer for my grass.

peace.

EDIT: I just found blogger for your iphone.

Funny...

Happy Friday!!

THIS IS SO COOL!! I loved TUPAC

Happy Hump

Crab I ate and Beer I drank

*Easter was SO much fun!! We left last Wednesday and got home on Monday. It was a nice get away. The crab, shrimp, gumbo, crawfish, catfish, beer, was delicious as always!

* I didn't know Bud Light sold a PLATINUM beer until I went to Louisiana. Anybody else seen this on shelves, or is Wise County behind on the beer evolution??

* I tried one, it was noticeably stronger than the usual Bud Light, and it tasted pretty good.

* I haven't posted anymore pics of the backyard because I have been waiting on our first cut of the grass we laid down before I took a whole lot of pics, but it looks really good.

*We are taking the pool cover off tonight. Hopefully there are no critters living under there.

*Can I tell you what a beating it is every time we have a family function and I get GRILLED and thrown to the wolves because I am the only female in  both sides of our family to not only NOT pop out a kid, but NOT WANT one either??

*It. Gets. Old.

*Plus, it makes me think we are jacked up in the head. Which is probably more likely of an explanation but we are happy so get over it.

*Got home yesterday to mow and was SO excited because the damn lawn mower started right up. I did one lap around the yard and realized the back tire was flat. After further investigation I realized the front little tire was also flat and off the rim. DAMN IT!! An hour later and a pissed off husband, I started mowing again.

*I think God sprinkled some miracle grow in the rain cause the weeds in my yard look like they are on steroids. I had to mow over them twice and we have a good lawn mower. I only got half way done. Guess what I'm doing tonight till dark??

*I gotta get back to work. Happy Hump day everyone.

I am always hesitant to donate money to an online fund, but this video might change my mind.

BackYard Project

So.. we are getting our rolls of grass in today and although I  am NOT thrilled to do the work, raking and putting the stuff down, I think it will look SO good when it is done. We finally got our sprinkler system put in last week so here is a few pics of the yard before we put our grass down. I know it doesn't look like we have done shit in the back yard, but I promise, this is hours of dirt work. Yes, we fortunately have been blessed with a Bobcat to move a large portion of the dirt, but I have raked that back yard over the past two weeks probably 10 times. And I can feel it. We also added docorative stone around the opening of each gate so the grass will not prevent the gate from opening. That is what we did all last weekend. They look really good there but I forgot to take pictures of that so I'll save it till tomorrow or the next day.

I cannot beleive how much of a difference adding the dirt has been to the structure of the yard. We had to bring in about $600.00 worth of dirt to make it ready for grass.

AFTER WE ADDED FIELD DIRT:

THEN WE  ADDED SAND:

THEN WE ADDED TOPSOIL, BUT I WAS TOO TIRED AND LAZY TO TAKE A PICTURE. SO YOU WILL HAVE TO VISUALIZE. IT WONT BE HARD TO DO.

We have 12 pallets of grass to put down. I wander how long it wil ltake us working on it every night after work???? Plus it's suppose to rain the next 5 days. Ugh... I don't mind a little rain, but if I knnow my husband we will be putting grass down, rain or shine. So, two people, 12 pallets. If I can function in the next couple days I will post pics.

We also planted a blue berry and black berry plant and some mixed chaldium bulbs. So, Im excited to see if they actually come up in the pots. We shall see.

I'm not a fan of Lindsey Lohan, but this was pretty funny

Irony - Someones Death Brings My Family Joy

How strange things can change in one week.
That little guy is now part of our family. He is 14 months old.
It is awkward to say someones death brought my family joy, but it is true.
Almost a week ago, his biological mother took her own life.
How could you leave someone so precious behind?
Because that is how you were raised.
Kill yourself to avoid the unpleasantness of life.
It is a vicious cycle.
His mother was my 3rd or 4th cousin. I don't talk to her side of the family because my mothers biological side of the family has never been a part of my life.
My Papa adopted my mom at a very young age and he is my true Papa.
My biological grandfather was an evil man. He burned all of his identity, called his own daughter (my moms sister) and told her that he was going to kill himself and he wanted her to have to identify his body, then he shot himself in the head while he was on the phone with her.
That obviously messed her up for life because about 15 years later she decided life wasn't worth living and purposely set her house on fire and killed herself.
Now, 10 years later, her daughter decided life wasn't worth living. She texts her father and told her the baby was sleeping and she was going to be with her mom in heaven.
This was her last post:

"DEAR FAMILY AN FRIENDS MY LIFE ISNT GOING ANYWHERE AN I CANT FIX IT I LOVE YALL BUT I WANT MY MOMMA."

After she sent that facebook post she hung herself from her front porch.
I feel bad that she was lost soul but, I do not feel bad that my sister will now raise her baby.
Her selfishness for her own child's life has now bled over into a joyous reunion for my family.
This child was neglected by his own mother. Left in a crib while he cried at night with two bottles so he could fend for himself.
Their sewer had backed up into their water system and the baby drank his milk mixed with that water and had his clothes washed with that water. ALL of his clothes reeked of mold and sewer. This baby had 3 toys. 3.... THAT IS IT.
You should have seen the look on his face when my sister let him meet everyone yesterday. He was so excited to see other kids to play  and you could see he was in ultimate explorer move. He will probably not remember the day he came to our family, but it was as glorious as the day my sister birthed their own children.
You could  see a baby be reborn into something instead of nothing. Now, if we can get passed all of the paperwork, we are home free. I hope.

BLAH!! FREAKING MONDAY!!

I worked muscles in my body I didn't know I had yesterday. We had to dig up our pool lines to make sure we knew where they were so we could get a ditch witch in and put in some french drains. Ugh.... THAT my friend was not fun. We were shoveling dirt till dark in the cold. We successfully found the lines and did not bust any pipes in the process, so that's a plus.

We went and ate with some friends Saturday night. After we got home, we were flipping through the channels and  watched Boogie Nights. WOW!! How have I never seen that movie before??

Mark Wahlberg plops out his dick and it's completely obvious it's a 13" rubber fake. Quite entertaining.

Itunes has a special $6.99 for some albums. I just downloaded the Coldplay album. I would have just bought the Paradise song, but for $5 more, I'll take all 14 songs.

All my husband wants for Vday is chocolate covered strawberries. I wet to the bakery to buy some and they were out. I'll just make them myself. Melt chocolate and dip. Can't be too hard.

He keeps asking me what I want but I have no idea. We usually just get each other a card and write 10 things we love about each other. Sounds sappy, but hell it's cheap so shut it.

I could not watch the news this morning  for more than 5 minutes at a time with out them mentioning or celebrating the life of Whitney Houston. The horse is dead, quit beating it.

This will go on for a couple weeks, die down, and then will flair back up when the autopsy results come in.

 While I'm on the subject, why the hell do people rush to itunes to download music that has been there all along and will stay there. Just cause the person dies people all the sudden want to listen to the music?? I don't get it.

I bet strawberries have doubled in price since last week when I bough them, all because of Vday.

I need some new running shoes. Has anybody bought any Reebok Zigs?

Paradise

Glad that is over.

Finally found out what killed one of my best friends last October.
Does the autopsy results give anybody closure? No.
I thought that it would, but it doesn't really make me feel any different about the situation.
Landscaping is going to be a bitch.
We got two estimates for sprinkler systems for the front and back yard. $5,500.00.
We are going to attempt do it ourselves.
Hopefully the costs of supplies will be less than $2,500.00.
Work. Work. Work.
I tried Google+. I wasn't impressed.
We just found out one of our neighbors has colon cancer I think he might be 40. It is pretty bad. No insurance. He can't work, the wife has no job.
She is trying to apply for food stamps.
They have three kids.
Sad situation, but I think we can all band together to keep their bellies full, or at least try.
I'm going to check out a tanning bed today. It's a 1997 bed, but the seller says it's in good condition and works well. She wants $500 for it. I'm skeptical, but I'm going in half's with my sister so I would be making a $250.00 mistake if all else fails. I'm going to go look at it first.
I'm turning 30 in a few weeks and we are selling our stripper pole/stage.
The pole was fun while it lasted. In all the time we had it we only had one incident in which someone went to the ER.
Drunk + Pole + 2 1/2 ft. drop = Broken collar bone.
No it was not me.
Both of my nephews can text me and facetime me from their own Itouch, and I love it.
I'm off and out.
peace.

Bad Meets Evil - Lighters ft. Bruno Mars

Do you give your kids Go Go Juice Honey boo boo child ??

Oh. MY.
Entertainment at its best! I enjoyed the full 6:06.
And, I have to admit, I went home and set the DVR for Toddlers and Tiara's just for gold like this.

New Year, Start of a New Decade... for me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

- Yeh I know it's late, but who cares.
- So, it's Friday and I'm super excited cause that means at 5:00 p.m. the WEEKEND is here.
- I prefer the weather to be warmer, but the last few days has been SO much better than the last few weeks.
- Today would be a good day to go golfing.
- We are going to have to buy grass for the back yard. I'm on the fence on what to get, but we will probably end up buying Bermuda grass. This spring will be busy and costly with landscaping around our brand new pool. BUT, it will look nice when it's done.
- I wanted to go back to Mexico this summer but Jessie informed me Mexico is in our own backyard this year and we need to spend the money we would spend on vacation on landscaping. It's hard to argue with that.
- So, I was just thinking about taking a week off in the summer, hiring a servant/house keeper and being a bump on a log on my back patio by the pool as if it were Mexico.
- BUT in reality I will probably take a week off to work my ass off in our yard.
- I just joined Google +
- It reminds me of facebook, kind of.
- I turn 30 next month. I'm kind of freaking. I will be leaving my 20's....
- We sure have enjoyed our hot tub the past few months. We will probably crank it up tonight and enjoy some drinks.
- I don't understand Pininterest.
- I had a dream last night my sister shaved her head. The family freaked out like the media freaked out when Britney shaved hers. It was weird.
- People who act like their life is perfect probably live in their own personal hell hole.
- My life is far from perfect, but that's what I like about it.
- I really like Pandora Radio.
- I went out of my normal zone and bought 2 apps, and 1 song in a week. Holy shit!
- I'm a tight ass, there I said it.
- My one wish for my birthday?? CRAWFISH!! I'm talking 100 pounds flown in from New Orleans. (Make it happen... make it happen... fingers crossed.)
- Jessie's Dad is from New Orleans and promises to fly me 100 pounds of crawfish for my party. We shall see. I know he can get them. Hell he will probably be the one that catches them. BUT, sometimes he falls short of following through.
- We haven't got crawfish in over 4 years because the price is ridiculous for Live crawfish, and we always cook them ourselves because my husband has Ragin' Cajun blood running through his veins and that man knows how to cook some crawfish.
- We always spend Easter at his grandparent house in New Orleans and we always buy about 100 pounds of crawfish and 25 pounds of shrimp and just pig out all day.
- Hey, at least it's straight protein ad no carbs!
- Here is a pic from last Easter: That's from one of many pots.

- I'm making myself hungry.

- That's all I got today. Gotta get back to work.
- peace
