New Slide Show

I was playing with Flickr and Photobucket and Slide today and just trying to figure out which one I really liked best and while I was playing I made a new slide show with pictures of us from May 2007. Just changing it up a bit.

Enjoy the day, I am going to make cheese fries with the boys for lunch. Yummy!!

Just because I {HEART} the MUPPETS

I saw this on Nancy Jone's blog and just had to do it because I love love love the Muppets. So please excuse the second blog posting for today but I just had to!!

You Are Dr. Bunsen Honeydew

You take the title "mad scientist" to the extreme -with very scary things coming out of your lab. And you've invented some pretty cool things, from a banana sharpener to a robot politician. But while you're busy turning gold into cottage cheese, you need to watch out for poor little Beaker! "Oh, that's very naughty, Beaker! Now you eat these paper clips this minute."

The Muppet Personality Test

And did I ever mention my favorite character is Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his crazy assistant Beaker - in fact lots of people actually thought our dog Beaker was named after him.

10 Things I Am Happy About

I am in a pretty good mood this morning, it is always that first couple of days that hubby is gone that I am pretty glum.

So today I thought I would share 10 things that make me happy. Believe me I am a pretty happy person so this list could go on and on.

1. Great new house. OK so it is new just to us it is actually an older home but it has really good bones and I can totally see the potential in it for making it ours.
2. Painted toenails. There is nothing that can make you happier than a pedicure.
3. The boys have each other to play with. And normally can play pretty happily in the same room giving me time to work out and scrap. Granted they are still in the same room as me but at least they just want to be near me. :)
4. A fenced in yard. It is really nice to let them play outside and not have to worry about them running into the street. I can sit on my covered porch and watch them with minimal worries.
5. New clothes. I got a bunch of it from the boys for my birthday. I love new clothes.
6. New scrapping supplies. Need I say more.
7. Watching the boys do "homework" as my oldest calls it. I love watching them create things with crayons and markers.
8. My big truck. As messy as hubby lets his get he always takes time to clean out my truck so it is as pretty inside as it is on the outside.
9. My little photo printer. So nice to be able to print pictures where ever I am. It was neat showing it to my mother in law. She thought it was the coolest ever.
10. The movie "Dude Where's My Car?". Hubby thinks this is the dumbest movie ever but it is one of my favorites. I love watching it while scrapping after the kids go to bed and hubby is gone cause I don't really have to pay attention to it I can just listen to it and laugh.

There will be no pictures.

Of course there will be no pictures in this blog because that would mean that I would have to take a picture of myself on my birthday and we'll I was depressed enough.

I am now 34 years and 1 day old. So in honor of my birthday I thought I would do a top 10 list. And this is just going to be a random list about me.

1. I am still just as fat as I was at 33.
2. I hate bugs, snakes and spiders. And since we now live here and the pest guys dropped off a flyer on the front door the other day I am going to add scorpions even though I haven't seen one just the fact that the pest guy is here to get rid of them is enough for me.
3. I hate water rides and roller coasters. Just having a news article about that little girl who had both feet amputated at 6 Flags cements this is a little deeper.
4. I don't like being in water where I can't see the bottom. Can we say scarred by the movie Jaws at an early age.
5. I like to organize things. And after they are organized I normally start over again to find an even better way.
6. I hate stupid things, like when you need help with your internet and you call them and they tell you to use their online customer service. Here's your sign!!
7. I love big trucks and cute little cars. My dream cars are my Yukon XL Denali and I would love to get a cute little light blue or pink convertible VW Bug.
8. I love my husband and my boys so much and I can't even imagine life without them.
9. I want to learn to sew better. My dream is to be the next Vera Wang. I would love to make wedding dresses.
10. My favorite movie is "Pride and Prejudice" on A&E you know the mini series. That movie has Colin Firth who is just dreamy!!

Now back to your regular life. I am going to count my gray hairs.

I scrapped.

Well kind of, I made some cards but it was really really nice to just sit at my table and do something. Plus all these are super duper old supplies.

Now to wait for my next shipment of ATG adhesive to arrive!!

So I have been tagged (twice).

Melanie & Lacey tagged me to give me a kick in the behind to start blogging again. Good thing too cause I needed it!!

These are the rules…. each player starts with 7 random facts about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of their blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment. So, time for my 7 random facts:

1. I make lists for everything but never use them.
2. I {heart} Star Wars, even though I pretend not to like it too much in front of my family.
3. I love to organize things into cute little containers. I have a container fetish I think.
4. I have no musical or dance ability what-so-ever.
5. I can't swim.
6. I always loved moving but now that we have kids I hope that we can stay in one place for awhile.
7. I scrapbook for me and no one else.

Now who can I tag, since I don't have my favorites up here on this computer I am going to have to hunt a little bit.

Everyone is tagged who reads this but especially these 4 people, everyone else I know has already been tagged. I know I am slow!!!
1. Erin
2. Sibylle
3. Katie J.
4. Jen H.

Wow have I been a bad blogger!!

Well I guess I should cut myself a little slack since I did move and all. We are now living deep in the heart of Texas. And boy is it H-O-T!! It isn't so much that HOT that is getting me though it is the mugginess and humidity. I forgot how hot and humid it is. Funny thing is our low for the evenings is what Iowa is like during the day. I guess I will adjust but in the meantime I will be spending a fortune on bottled water cause the water here still tastes yucky to me, you know how it is when you go someplace else and they have different water, I am just not used it yet and it never seems cold straight out of the tap.

In other news Beaker is now 12 years old and still kicking. We can tell her arthritis is really bothering her cause she doesn't jump up on the furniture and only takes the stairs after all of us have gone up them so she doesn't go all the way up just to have to come back down again. The wood floors at the bottom of our steps nearly do her in in the morning when she comes down the stairs. If she goes to fast she will end up in the wall.

More later -- time to check the weather and get the kids out of the shower!!
