Stylin' With Little Effort!

How does this happen? I'm not really sure. I have been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad blogger for a while now and I get a message from my super stylish bloggy friend Pooba letting me know she thinks I am stylin'. I guess when you've got it, you've got it!



Okay, so this award wasn't really free, I actually have to work for it, here's the rules:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 8 things about yourself
3. Pass it on to 8 bloggers
4. Contact those bloggers and tell them about their award


Here I go.

1. I am waiting for the hubby to get the dirt bikes on the trailer so we can take the boys riding.

2. I have about 3 loads of laundry to fold and 3 loads of laundry to wash.

3. I'm thinking about taking a nutrition class, but haven't sent in my application yet.

4. UPS just delivered dirt biking gear for the boys.

5. I would sit on my wood burning stove when I am cold if I couldn't get burned.

6. Will be running a 1/2 Marathon in Ogden, Utah in May. Are you ready Cyndie? Hopefully I will be able to meet Kelly while I am out there.

7. I like to record the show Hoarders, watch it, and tear through my house in a cleaning and purging frenzy.

8. Wednesday I am going to do some of my Man Chores. Yep, I said it, Man Chores. I am going to spray the weeds and if time permitting pull up the rest of the drip line and tomato cages from the garden.

Now I get to pass this along to 8 of my bloggy friends. Hmm......I don't know if I can drum up 8, but I will try.

I am thankful for so many things so I won't bore you with it all. I would like to wish you all a very Happy Turkey Day and let you know I am thankful for you all who stop by for a visit.


On a side note........don't tell, but I added cauliflower to my smashed potaotes. Shhhh........

Stink Eye!

Have you ever gotten a bit of this?

Well, I think I may have gotten a bit of it this morning. A great way to start Monday isn't it? Sadly it isn't from anything I have done or my friend for that matter. I believe it has to do with a serious case of being overly sensitive. Imagine that!

For 2 days the boys and I played hard with their friends. We went on a bike ride while the moms walked, played baseball and soccer at the park and then proceeded to the batting cages. That was day 1 and it was full of activity. My kids fell asleep at an early hour that evening. The next day we went to lunch and the movies. Another full day, busy because lunch and the movie was at the mall. So we got to deal with noisy mall crowd and counting kids. Great fun. We had a blast! I kept the boys busy so they didn't have time to think about fighting......it was ingenious.

This other family and I have a mutual friend who was unhappy with both of us. She thought we were flaunting our activities in front of her and was hurt she wasn't "invited". I have to say, she was invited to lunch and movies on Friday and the park is well....a park, in her neighborhood. There wasn't any reason she and her children couldn't come join us, but she was feeling hurt and upset and not included. I get it.

So today I swing by to say "Hi" and receive THE STINKEYE. I stayed long enough to say my hello's and then bailed out. I can take a hint. She isn't happy with me. Oh well, she will hopefully get over it.
