:razz:

I am ready to give you a citation and send you to detention!!! My mama always used to say, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything." You are such a wonderful person! So you quit saying not-nice things about yourself!!! Now, do you want to miss recess???

Go
I have tried several different companies lately and honestly I have failed MISERABLY when it comes to their tests.......so If any of you thought I was anything less than stupid I just proved you wrong !! Cant even pass a transcription test........Gooo grief !

 

[Seawaters]

I agree wholeheartedly!!!

Last day of July.....wow......I don't know about y'all, but this is the month where things really pick up. Seems like when the kids go back to school, it gets pretty hectic all the way around. We will have football and Halloween so fast we won't know what hit us.

I can't wait.

 

[Seawaters]

I think you are right, Made!!!

I'm sure Crown would say there isn't.

HollyJells, I, too, love all the smell and everything of autumn! I can hardly wait!

:sparkle: HEHEHE I just printed out another page of labels for my Christmas cards. WOOO I am on the ball this year. :yahoo:

28 more days til my surgery. I think I have went through the scared already.

Had a lovely wedding yesterday. DH's neice got married and her father officiated, he is a minister. It was so lovely.

We had a memorial service for DH's aunt today. It was also very nice.

Well tomorrow is first of August. In 6 hours and 44 minutes it will be 5 months til December. WOOO where has this year gone? I am also looking forward to fall myself and can not wait until i start smelling that spicy scent in the air that heralds cool weather. Cooler weather means lovely spiced ciders and teas, means hot cocoa, curling up with a favorite blanket in some cozy slippers and reading a great book. Cooler weather means no more sweating our butts off while cleaning the yard. It means leaves falling and beautiful colors to be had. I LOVE autumn. Pumpkins and ghoulies peeking at me. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.

 

[Seawaters]

That's the life!!!

QUOTE=HollyJells;361831]I love me some autumn for sure. It feels like fall in here right now. DH has the AC way up because our upstairs in warm. He works nights so he sleeps during the day. So I am wearing thick socks, a sweater, yoga pants, and a t-shirt. We need a sperate unit:wiggy:for upstairs.[/QUOTE]

Great idea on the use of your old tree! Thanks for sharing!

OOOOOOO I smell skillet BBQ chicken. HMMMM could be that I am cooking it right now. NUMMY ummy goodness.

Yep its colder than a reindeer sitting on an iceberg in here. My poor cat is trying to hide under the one coverlet I have on my other chair.

HEHEHEHE I already started getting out my holday recipes books and my craft guides. I am going to be honest I have NOT began my gift shopping yet. There has been discussion that this year we are doing cookie jars for each family and getting the grandkiddies a stocking fulla stuff. Not sure yet. We did Christmas Towels last year (thanks HeadElf for the idea) and htey went over as a big hit. Yes I am a 31 yr old stepgrandmama but I do not require them to call me as such because their biological grandma has that title. I am just their Bonnie, and that is it.
So was looking at some trees for this year. I do not think our little tree is gunna make it out this year. 3/4 of the lights that are on it permanently are out and we can not find one broken bulb or frayed wire. Have checked the fuses and they are good. So looking at another tree and possibly taking Ole Baldy apart and using him for swags and maybe using his top as a tree table. It is sad, he has been a great little tree but now it is time for him to do something else. :wiggy:

It's 16,000!!!!

Hello, all Christmas lovers! I was not able to get on earlier because I went to school early and got home less than an hour ago. Hubby is cooking Rock Cornish Game Hens on the grill that were marinated in Jack Daniel's teriayki marinade. I made wild rice with onions, celery, garlic, and mushrooms. It's almost time for our late dinner. Talk to you in a few!!

 

[Seawaters]

I just have to tell you how great dinner was!!! We were going to have grilled veggies, but we decided that might be a bit much for such a late dinner. Trust me, we had plenty without them! I am stuffed and ready for some TV. Have a great evening, everyone!
