I'm back

Ah...to blog again. I guess I did not make the 30 blogs in 30 days... *sniff* But I cannot say that it was completely my fault. You see...they upgraded the internet in our area from 'drag your feet on the floor slow' to the fastest and our modem would not handle it. So I could get onto the internet, but could not post anything. Seriously, Facebook would time out trying to post a status or even go to the link to tend to my farm...which is being neglected still... Getting to other sites took forever to load and I just decided to take a break for a couple of days...plus I had a lot of packing to do...

Which brings me to say....WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!! This is the thing that I could not want to blog about before...not that I am superstitious...well maybe a little...but I did not want to get my hopes up if anything were to go wrong. We signed the papers on the 10th, painted that weekend, and moved in that next week...we have the apartment until the 30th so we are still making small trips back and forth to get things over and clean up. And in the new home...the internet works much better...new modem and faster speeds!! Yeah!

But I wanted to pop on and update any of those that do occasionally pop over to see what is going on in my world. And I still want to do the 30 blogs in 3 days challenge...by gosh I have plenty to blog about now!!!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Testing the blog....

Small Talk Six - Deserted what??

Want to join in? Go here to learn how and to view the weekly list Small Talk Six topics for 2009.

Today’s topic is “6 reasons why you would be doomed if you were stranded on a deserted island all by yourself.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

Not too many people participated last week. Should I be keeping the topics more PG?

Here are my six for this week:

1. I cannot cook on the stove, the grill...there is no way that I would be able to cook anything edible on a deserted island!

2. Not really sure that I even know how to start a fire without paper and a lighter!

3. Spiders!!!

4. No one to talk to...I'm a big gabber!!

5. I would become a fruit-aterian...I will not be able to 'hunt' for live food...I don't eat fish...and with number one, I would not be able to cook it...even if... So hopefully there is fruit!!! lol

6. No Sims3...I am helplessly addicted...sad

Have a great weekend!!

It's Friday

What to blog...what to blog?? I still cannot blog about the thing that I cannot want to blog about....soo...hmmm

Ooo...I have this Friday Fill-ins that I kept the link to awhile ago...I'll do that...and yes...it's a fall out for writing an actual entry...but oh well...I like doing these!! This will still count as Day 6 of the NaBloPoMo!!! :)

Friday Fill in for November 6...

1. Plans and schedules are lifesavers!! .

2. I'm happy when things go my way!

3. The last thing I drank was Dr Pepper...still drinking!

4. One of the most valuable things in my life is the safety of my family.

5. I like Pepperoni, cream cheese, and bacon on my pizza.

6. Dear November, you are going to be an amazing month!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to an evening of no plans, tomorrow my plans include cheer/football game and meeting with my parents and Sunday, I want to something that I cannot blog about!! *wink*

Not really a title..but a 'non' title!

Well...the video never did upload. I think it's just too big and I do not know how to minimize the size...soo...I will just post a few pics...not the same as seeing them perform... :(












Cute huh!!!

I am sitting here wanting to blog about something but not wanting to so not to jinx it...but when trying to blog about anything else...'that' keeps coming up... *sniff* I cannot even blog on my scrapy site because of it. I did not had my mojo juice flowing...and then I had to put everything up and I cannot explain why because of the 'thing' that I can not want to blog about. So this is me.....not blogging about it. LOL

So I will leave you with a poem...one that I wrote way back in 10th grade. It's not that great...but it was on my mind...lol (laugh if you must...lol)

The fog in the moonlight
A shadow behind you
Someone in the woods
Fear rippling inside

A shadow behind you
An unknown sound
Fear rippling inside
A touch on the hand

An unknown sound
A light in the distance
A touch on the hand
A man in blue

A light in the distance
A familiar sound
A man in blue
A woman embraces you

A familiar sound
The fog in the moonlight
A woman embraces you
And still...someone in the woods

On a side note...Friday Night Lights ROCKS!!! I love this show!!!

Darkness falls across the land...

Last week we had a crazy early snow storm that brought 4 feet of snow into some parts of the city. Normally, the first snow of the season starts on Halloween...(I grew up here and it ALWAYS kicked the season off by snowing...if only a drizzle) We had to plan our outfits around the size of our heavy jackets!!! Anyway, we live up north and thankfully only got about 2 feet of that!! But with that snow, comes the crazy drivers, and the slick roads, and icy windshields to defrost. Lol (right now I am parking outside the garage so that we can store some furniture) So this is what I walked out to that first morning...(and it still snowed for another two days)

Because of the snow all of the sports fields were closed that weekend and the games rescheduled. Taylor's cheerleading game was finally played last night and their long awaited halftime show was going to be revealed.

[This is where the video is supposed to show up but it has taken try after try after try. I am trying youtube one last time....so I will update this post if it works...] :(

They did such a good job, I was tearing up as I watched them!!! They have been working for weeks on getting this dance down and they perfected it just in time!! We had them wearing masks and gloves that had little white fingers...and they did awesome!! That's all I can think of to say...we were so proud of them!!!

Just a bit of anticipation

Day 3 of the challenge and still going strong! Yeah!

And V starts tonight!

I love love Loved this show!! And I am hoping that it has the same 'impact' that it did way back when. I remember watching it with my mom and flipping out when the main 'visitor' pulled at her cheek and the skin pulled down. I shrieked back and was grossed out and even at the ripe old age of 8...it was one of the best shows that I had watched!

Right now the Syfy channel is showing the TV movie version, and the series and I have yet to watch them, but I did catch a few minutes of the 'lizard people' sunning them selves...their lips did not move, their voices sounded computerized, and I just keep thinking...wow...and this was one of the best shows out there...lol Let's hope that the effects are a little better managed this time around!! :) See you tomorrow!

Boo!

So this year, Taylor decided that she wanted to spend Halloween with her girlfriends and not with the parentals...*sniff* I forget how big and mature that she is getting..I guess I'm just not ready to let the reins loose. lol So she went with her friends' mom and the Hubby and I took Bayle out.

He wanted to be a pirate, a transformer, the scary guy from Scream (only if I let him use the fake blood portion...umm...no), some guy from GI Joe, and finally settled on a Darth Vader outfit. But he did not want to be Darth Vader.....he wanted to be Darth Skywalker. So this picture is with the mask..I asked him for one picture..and he didn't wear it the rest of the night. lol
As we were walking around the neighborhood, we found signs leading to a free haunted house and decided to hop on over. It ended up being one that a family had created in their garage. They had it set up like a CSI scene and would walk groups through. Bayle was really excited to be in front and promised that he would not be scared. And he made it almost the whole way through! And then as we were walking away, he wanted to do it again... my little tough man!!

This is my goofball son with his head in the bag looking for a certain type of candy... lol Hope everyone had a safe Halloween!!!

A blog a day!
