Mom's Point of Vieau

Honey was right

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Tue, 24 May 2011 00:11:00 +0000

When we moved into our new place my husband immediately signed us up for CLEARWIRELESSINTERNET.NET wireless internet which at the time I thought was kind of unnecessary. Now that we’re knee deep in all these home décor projects, though, I totally see where he was coming from! We’ve ordered countless project books and supplies online and we also watch a lot of tutorials about how to do certain things. I’m proud to say that we recently put up a tile backsplash all by ourselves and my husband is staining the deck as I write! I want to make this place look as homey as possible and I figure that putting in a little elbow grease now is the best way to really reap the rewards of owning a big home in the future. Whatever the cost, I’m going to get this house looking like it’s straight out of a magazine, even if I do have to do all of it myself! Thankfully my husband’s her to help and clean up

TAKEN

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sun, 31 May 2009 20:26:00 +0000

My husband and I watch quit a few movies.

I have heard about the above mentioned movie "Taken" from a couple of people. When it came out in DVD I quickly picked it up.

I had no idea this movie would be such a dramatic action packed movie. I do not know much about Liam Neeson, but I do like him in this movie.

One of the reasons why I did not want to see this movie at first in the theaters is because my fear was exactly this. I would have to say that if my daughter showed up missed I would not have a clue where to start looking for her.

My daughter wants to be a model in France, thank God she is not tall enough to do that but she does desire to go over there to visit and learn about some fashion designers over there. Okay, I could go with her on that. Although, the French do not like Americans very well. Still scarey with everything going on in the world.

The movie "Taken"

is a very well worth the money for the DVD. I truely was on the edge of my couch on this one.

It starts off very slow and I really wanted to just smack the daughter, she played such a spoiled brat. I think that what happens sometimes with kids. They just don't know how good they have it until it is gone.

Alot of violence in this movie. Not really recommended for young eyes, I think I would have nightmares if I was little and watched this movie. I mean it is bad enough wondering about the people in your own neighborhood and cute ones at that. You just never know.

If you get a chance to see or purchase this movie, I would recommend watching this movie.

I really enjoyed watching Liam Neeson in this movie. I think he did a brilliant job. I like action movies when the actor doesn't have to speak much. LOL

Maggie Grace really was the first time that I have seen her in anything, looking at her bio she has been in alot of different TV shows.

So, if you do not have anything to do this upcoming weekend, try watching this movie.

Summertime Bloom

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sat, 30 May 2009 13:39:00 +0000

Hello everyone. I have been so slackin on my writing and keeping up.

It is been a year since I have started this blog. The year sure seems to have flown by. So much has happened.

I really don't want to talk about that now.

Every year I try and plant some flowers and more perennials so that next year I don't have to worry too much. It is slowly but surely coming around.

About two years ago I received some free "Easter Lillies" from my friend at Lowes. I planted them in a pot. This year they actually bloomed. Take a look :)

I also planted some just regular flowers (annuals) like marigold, which in the past they haven't seem to do very well, probably because I don't water them regularly so they die. :(

I am happy to say that all my plants are still alive and blooming really good. I can sit on my front porch and just smile. I love looking at color and watching the little birds come swooping by. My little hummingbird still comes and checks out my century plants. They have flowers on them.

When I sit and gaze at my flowers it just seems to make everything better. All my problems seem meaningless at the moment.

Go put a smile on your face and plant something.

Grand Torino

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:05:00 +0000

I know it is been since March 10, since I posted. So sorry about that.

I lost a few along the way.

I don't know if some of you know that I own a small fitness studio and teach college course for two colleges in town. I am quit busy and I know that is no excuses.

Actually, I haven't had really anything to write until now.

The other day, my husband, our best friend and I went to the movies. It was on Easter Sunday.

Not too many people in the theater. We decided to watch Grand Torino.

I love me some Clint Eastwood. I just loved him in "Bridges Over Madison County" OMG, such a tear jerker. I so can relate to that movie.

My husband is such a Dirty Harry fan. He likes all of Clint's Movies.

This movie was awesome. Not for kids though because of the language. I thought it rocked. I swear they have a small camera hidden somewhere at my house. This guy is exactly like my hubby. How can that be? Are there other people in the world just like that, that they can make a movie of it. He said almost to the tee what my husband says all the time. It is scary.

Anyhow, it really was sad at the end and he does have a big heart just like the hubby. Although, it is hidden as well.

This movie should be at on DVD soon and yes I am going to be in line waiting on it. I know there are parts that I missed. I have to watch again.

Spring Break

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:57:00 +0000

It is spring break already. 2009 is already going by so fast. So much to do in this week. I just don't want to do it. How do I get myself out of this depression.

I have been looking for a job. My small business is just working out like I want it to or how invisioned in my head. I may just have to close the doors.

i will try again or something. Just don't know. I have been working my butt off and pouring money into to this and it is just not working out. Well, I do have some classes that are really working good, but it just not enough. I think I just need to regroup and take what is not working and try something else. I have to admit though everything I have tried is just not working.

What do I do. I need some help. Oh, I have sought some help. The drive in people is just not the same as my drive. I can't depend on anyone else to help me but I just don't have the marketing skills that other people have and I have tried. I am so lost. What to do?

Ash-tion-ary

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:02:00 +0000

Okay, I know what you are thinking. What the heck is an Ash-tion-ary? Well, my oldest daughter has her own arsenal of words. Where the heck she gets these words or how she makes them up I have no idea.

It all started when I had made the comment of how much this girl sleeps. I really think she has a disorder. She just loves to eat then go take a nap. She does however work from like 3 to 11 at night. Therefore, I have done a days work by the time she gets out of bed at 1:00 p.m. I was like what the heck, girl you need to get movin.

One day I was really tired and really did not feel like doing any laundry, dishes, and cleaning of the house and I thought to my self I am in the first stages of "Ashley-i-tis." I thought OMG, this is not good. Ashley-i-tis can be defined as; wanting to sleep, occasionally eat, and go to work minimal. Then come home and do the same thing, party on the weekends all hours and then start the week over. Ashley -it-tis. I am sure most of you who have kids at home may have this. Beware, this could go on for a while. Snap out of it if you feel like this could be happening to you.

I love my girls. They bring such life to mine.

Second word that I found out yesterday, while we were having lunch at BDubs just enjoying the day with the family. She told her DAD that she was his favorists. What? What kind of word is that? That is not a word, her dad said "Yes it is, did you not know it was in the ashtionary?" I just busted out laughing. That is funny.

Yes folks, I am building an Ash-ltion-ary for some of you who may have this problem understanding your teenager, oh wait she is twenty-somthing. HA.

What is Cookin!

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:42:00 +0000

Hello everyone,

I do not know if any of you know this, but I am a reality TV junkie. One of my favorite shows is Top Chef. I have watched this show since it has started. I love it.

One day I am going to be able to get my husband into Culinary School to do some cooking. He loves to cook. He loves all the favors too.

This season has been totally crazy. I love Carla. she is so positive about everything. I love her energy. I wish I could be like that. Not too sure who I like as far as guys are concerned. My cute little blonde hair guy "Jeff" left so I don't know now. I like the anciented guy with the dark hair.

Not to sure who it is going to be on this one.

I will always love Harold, but I haven't really seen anyone really up their game. Come on chefs let's see some real cooking.

They Just Grow Too Fast

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:58:00 +0000

I know I have been slackin on my post y'all.

Just haven't really had anything to write about. My life got busy all of a sudden. Don't know why.

My youngest turned 16 the other day. I feel so bad because her birthday come right after Christmas and this year, we did not even have a Christmas because we are so broke. Don't know if I can handle too much more of this.

Anyway, I can not believe she is 16, with an attitude too. I think that is automatic when a kid turns 16. I told her a few times, I brought her into this world, I can surely take her out. HA, just kidding. I would not do that, but boy they sure make you want to drink more.

I took her to get her driver's permit. Oh boy! Now, back in my day, I took the written test and the driving test all in the same day to get my license, not when I was getting the permit.

What, no you don't have to take a test for a permit, but she did. Guess what? She failed. My smart child of the bunch failed her written test. Of course she was upset.

I told her she need to review. Again, I really think my family thinks I am a total idiot.

Oh, well, it will be another couple of weeks to get back in there to take the test.

Well, I think she needed to be brought down a few notches. Things don't always work out the way you planned, as Katt Williams would say. :)

So, that is about it so far. I will let you know if she fails again. she better not.

Ghost Town

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 14:22:00 +0000

I know you are probably thinking that all I do is watch movies.

Here is another review of a movie that I thought was so funny that I will have to watch again.

The movie is called "Ghost Town" I had never heard of it. I never saw the previews or had anyone mention the movie.

I watched this movie with the hubby right after the "Eagle Eye"movie. What a great night. Some movies to get me off of the flop movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

This is a romantic comedy. Now, when I first saw that Greg Kinnear was in this movie, I knew I had to watch it. I love Greg, ever since the movie "As good as it gets".

This movie has an odd sense of humor to it. It has a touch of british humor to it. So, if you like british humor you should like this movie. I will have to say it is not all like that though.

A new comer to the screen for me anyway, some of you may have seen movies with him is a fellow named "Ricky Gervaris"

Notice is says Ricky Gervaris and not Ricky Bobby. :)

It appears as though Ricky is a writer for "The Office" which has an odd sense of humor as well.

I really like this guy.

Tea Leoni has a big part in this movie too. I like her better in comedy movies. Don't know how the rest of you feel. I think I live with or without her. I like the parts she plays but I don't rush out and buy the movies that she is specifically in.

This movie reminds me of a little of the movie "Heart and Souls" Do you remember? That was a funny movie too. Robert Downey, Jr. was a little hottie then too.

So there you have it. Another movie review. Hope you enjoy when you are all snowed in and the weather is just unbareable sitting next to the fire. This is a movie worth watching.

Big Brother is Watching.

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:07:00 +0000

Oh my gosh! You know you have heard this. Sometimes I would make jokes at the military base I taught aerobics at for the participants to smile and wave at big brother (the little camera eye). I bring this up because I watched the movie "Eagle Eye".

Ever since "Transformers" the movie came out,

I have been keeping a watchful eye (no pun intended :), on Mr. Shia LaBeouf. I knew he was going to be something.

My husband's friend brought over a couple of movies the other night, well Sunday night, and I happened to glance at the names and really did not feel like watching them.

I went and taught my classes and came home. Both my husband and my youngest daughter were both watching this "Eagle Eye' movie. I watched the tail end of it. Naturally, I did not have a clue about what the movie was about or anything. I dare ask, because I would get the fifth degree of not being there from the beginning.

My daughter and I happen to be bored this afternoon and she said "Let's watch that move the Eagle Eye mom, it is good."

I said Ok, what the heck. Man, that was an awesome movie. I have to tell you, this is one movie worth watching. Actioned packed. His co-star Michelle Monaghan is a good actress too.

Billy Bob Thornton is in this movie, along with Bobby Ray from "Sweet Home Alabama."

You need to watch this movie a couple of time just to catch all the little things. Although, you won't really miss the big stuff watching it the first time, but the second to pick up the small things. Just like the Transformer movie.

Oh, I just looked at Shia filmography. Holy Cow! I did not know he played in that many movies that I recognized.

yes, this is a must see movie. Get the popcorn ready and get your drinks ready, no time in the movie to get up and get it.

Who Would Have Thought

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:02:00 +0000

Well, somebody sure was thinking.

I think the last couple of years I have been asleep when the New Year comes around and for the last couple of years I have just went through life or that year like in a daze.

Things came and went so quickly, like I was always running to keep up. Why? I will tell you why later in another post. For now, I will tell you what I did for New Years.

This New Year's I decided i wasn't going to fall asleep through the New Years. They say that whatever you are doing at New Years will be an indication of what the year is to bring.

Went over to a friends house and they had purchased the Wii for their kidos. This Wii program had all the fitness stuff on it. The program has bowling, tennis, golf, boxing and baseball. They had the bowling game on there. I love to bowl. I have been bowling since I can remember back when I was eleven or something. It was something my dad put me in so he would have an excuse to go drink at the bar inside the bowling alley. I became really pretty good.

So, I thought I would give it a go. Holy Cow! My freakin right arm is so sore that I could hardly do my workout this morning. My triceps were just screaming at me. I could not believe it.

I also tried the Tennis, because back in high school I played tennis too. Took me a few games to get the timing down, but I really did get a good little workout.

I am truly amazed at this concept. It is a great one in order to get our kidos up and moving. Now, I just have to figure out how to get one for myself. Hehehe.

Make it a family night, if you have several controls. It would be so much fun.

Happy New Year

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:02:00 +0000

My last entry for the year 2008. My Gosh, I can't wait til 2008 disappears. It has been a crazy year and one that I do not want to remember. I am tired of being broke. I just want the texas wind to carry 2008 far far away.

I have new plans for 2009 and it is not being broke. I would not call them resolutions because those don't seem to last, so I have to make a change for good.

I will still keep blogging of course, this has been the only thing that I am glad I found. I am thankful for all of the followers and people who just happen to come across the blog to say HI. It is totally awesome.

So, to all of my followers, I lift a nice glass of ? (you make the call) and cheers for the new year.

Movie Flop

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 21:35:00 +0000

Yesterday, my husband and I went and saw the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", my husband had been talking about going to see it since the previews.

My friend's mom and sister were in town for Christmas and he mentioned that they wanted to go see a movie too.

We met them there early so I could go get my stale popcorn. Nothing beat popcorn from a movie theater. Stale? I don't think so. I can make movie popcorn at the house, it tasted far better. I got a Coke because I had just taken my nap from the three tall beers I had at B Dubs.

I know what a lush.

It is a good thing I took my nap because, that movie was sooooo boring, that it would have put me to sleep.

OMG, I kept waiting for something to happen. Nothing ever did. I love Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connally but I would have to give two thumbs down on this movie. Do not go waste your money on this one and wait til if comes out for rent before you go buy. You may save your money on "Burn after Reading". Now, that was a funny movie. Little strange but better than the movie I saw at the theater with stale popcorn and stale Mike and Ikes. Total bummer.

Coffee Anyone?

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 16:09:00 +0000

Well, we did not really have presents this year. Everything is too expensive anymore.

I did manage to buy a coffee maker for my hubby. My hubby is obess with electronics, tv's and coffee makers.

This one however is tha bomb! The Keurig Coffee Maker Elite

Unlike the other coffee makers this one does single cups. They also offer so many brands and different types of coffees. If can also make hot cocoa and teas.

The thing I like about this coffee maker is that if I decide that I want to have French Vanilla cup or a cup of tea at any time, then I don't have to make a whole pot. Love that.

Water is held in a reservoir so it only takes a minute to get your cup of coffee instead of having to wait. The little cups are called k-cups. What an inventive idea. Keurig has different types of coffee makes. They have a mini cup up to a 4 cup sizes.

I found you can purchase this type of coffee maker at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Target and even Lowe's my friend found one for his wife.

You can also make your own regular coffee too with a little filter basket.

So, you see you can please everyone in the house. I love it. Now, all you have to do is buy the Kahula and Brandy. :)

Happy Holidays.

Next year is going to be a great year. The best one of them all. I fee it.

Merry Christmas Bloggers! :)

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 00:59:00 +0000

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope everyone has a joyful and safe one.
Always cherish your family and friends. Be nice to everyone you meet.

Batman Has a Daughter?

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:06:00 +0000

What, Batman has a daughter. Well, my crazy little kid friend (who is 35) has bought the series of "Birds of Prey" What the heck is this is is trying to make us watch now.

Last time, well as a matter of fact it was 2007 Thanksgiving or Christmas can't remember which, I have slept a time or two since then, he made us watch the science fiction of "FireFly" series. It really was a great series of science fiction.

Okay, back to the Batman thing. Did you know that Batman and Cat Woman did the wild thing and had a daughter. Yes, that is right. Batman has slipped into the dark or stepped aside for his daughter to gain exposure. Her name is Helena Skye aka "Huntress"

Birds of Prey include Barbara Gordon aka "Oracle" after she grew up. She was "Batgirl" earlier on from 1966 to 1988. She was shot by the joker protecting Batman which paralyzed her from the waist down, so she does everything at the office with the computer and fighting behind the scenes.

Also joining this group is Dinah a young girl coming into her powers.

One hot police officer named Jesse Reese who the Huntress is very much attracted to and vica versa. He is no other than Shemar Moore. Yes, he played the gorgeous "Malcom Winters" from the "Young and the Restless" after he did this show. Very nice on the eyes. That was the only reason I kepted watching.

So, what I have to say is that this is kind of cheezy tv show. I would have never watched it on TV, well come to think of it, I didn't.

A nice series to watch if you are all cooped up in the house due to the cold weather.

Oh, I forgot, the butler from Batman is helping this trio too. He calls Batman at the end. It was really cool.

Batman: The Dark Knight

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:40:00 +0000

OMG! I just love Heath Ledger. It was such a tradegy to lose him.

My friend went to the store at midnight to buy this movie. He had seen it at the theaters several times, my youngest has also seen it several times, my husband went and saw at the theater with them two and my oldest saw the movie. What the heck was I doing, that I missed all the fun?

So, my friend went out of town this last weekend and I mentioned, Good, I can borrow the movie while he was gone so I thought. He said "Well, I am planning on taking it so that that the girls can watch it."

"What" I said with disappointment, knowing darn well, that they were going out partying, and I was not invited. They are not going to watch that movie. "Fine, doesn't matter, I will go buy it myself when I am out." I told him.

I bought the movie and my husband and my daughter and I all sat at home on Friday night and watched this hyped up movie.

I so loved the very first batman they did with Michael Keaton. I love him too. He is just too cute. He looks the same, but he made a great lookin Batman. Why couldn't batman come to my house?

Then, George Clooney had to get in the act and I liked him (but Michael has a place in my heart) with Batman and Robin. Can't know for the life of me remember who was in Batman Forever, Oh I just remember, I think it was Val Kilmer. Yes, he did a great job, but it did not really interest me.

This Batman however, was really awesome. I loved everything about it. It had a great story line and yes, it was dark. Heath Ledger played a remarkable and rememberable Joker. He really stole the main part I believe. What an awesome job he did.
This movie however is not for very young kids and use your parental discretion when viewing this movie. You may want to watch on your own time. Great movie. I will watch it again.

Here is Your Christmas Card

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 00:10:00 +0000

I just wanted to let all my blogger friends that I have had such a great time getting to know you through writing this year. I feel like I have something in common with all of you all.

Wanted to let you all know that you are the first ones to get a Christmas greeting from me. I have not even sent one card out. The time seems to get away from. I should just send everyone an e-card but that seems to be impersonal. I like to write a little something something in my cards. Is it possible to develop ADD at an older age? Or do we just call it something else.

Here is your Christmas Greeting.

Turn the Lights On

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:11:00 +0000

It is that time of year when all the decorations come out and the lights are on.

For a few weeks during the Holidays houses are lit by many differents type of lights. But, what happens after the Holidays? Christmas Lights come down are you left in the dark? Well, you don't have to be.

My husband likes to live in the dark, and sometimes I like to read or do some research and I can never find some good reading lights in the house.

I have found the solutions over at http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Lamps. I came across this site shopping for something else and I was amazed at the number of great lights that they have on their site. In my front living area I have a Norman Rockwell setting and I have been searching for a great Lamp replica for that era. Now, I am not the traditional type person and I like going outside the box, meaning bringing stuff from the outside to use on the inside. I found that Norman Rockwell Lamp that I have been looking for. I love the look of this lamp. The price is right up my low budget dark alley. :)

Now, for the reading lamp, I like the look of this lamp and the little sidekick that you can turn on and off just for the reading. Again, take a look at this lamp, perfect for the budget right now.

Do you need a night light for the kiddo? Perfect place to shop for some. Oh I found the cutest little nite light for any little tike. They have Football Helmet Lights, Little Lullaby Lights, Orange County Choppers, and the list goes on. Why do people always come up with the cute ones after my kids are grown.

I could really go on about this site but I think it is better if you go where the light is a little brigher. I hope you find what you are looking for. I know I did.

Happy Shopping.

What Happened the Year You Were Born?

Being Thankful

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:35:00 +0000

As I sit here contemplating on what to write and what to be thankful for, I went to lot of blogs today. I read a few blogs and some I just dopped a card on. You know how you come across a blog and you read it and you think I really like that one and have to remember where and what the heck name it was and try to retrace your tracks on how you found it in the first place. Very annoying, so what I decided to do was to really go back to all my FAV blogs and see what they were up to.

My first stop was Live Strong and Happy. Dr. Castro is such an awesome person and I don't know her but I just love reading your blogs. She is always so positive and she makes me laugh. Like the post she just did on Russia wanting Alaska back because of Sarah Palin. That is too funny, but she does have a point. I totally forgot that Alaska is just on loan. So, why on earth do we get to call it one of our states? Well, don't know that I am thankful for that because I did spend 4 miserable years up there freezing my fat butt off, which I have totally found since then. I could have gone somewhere else like Hawaii for four years, why couldn't I have gotten that assignment? Thanks Russia!

Then, I hopped on over to my friend C.C. Almon's blog . That girl is more of a geek than me. She is always at a computer, she has got like 500 blogs, how in the world does she keep it all straight. I am Thankful that I only have 3 blogs, plus 2 Myspaces, 1 website, a facebook site and an Arbonne site. I can't even keep track. Oh! I forgot, I have a cafepress site and a cafemom site. Oh, just one more I just thought about. BeachBody site. C.C. is always so uplifting on her site too. I just love going to her site and seeing what is for dinner. Also, C.C. has been using a stepometer and trying to reach her goal on getting in her steps walked. You go girl.

Next on my list to go see was Edge of Insanity by Sammanthia. She is really funny. She reminds me of my friend in town. She really think about writing some books. I would definitely buy any books she writes. I love her blog. She has a really neat family too. I am thankful for my great family too. I just love them. I totally would be lost without them. Sam took her son out to a movie and a bunch of popcorn. Got to have popcorn when watching movies. Have you ever gone to dinner and feel like a fat cow and can't eat another bite until you go into the movies and you have to have the popcorn. I love movie popcorn so much that I have my own popcorn machine at the house.

Heading over to Jamie's site and found some neat photos. I can tell Jamie likes to take pictures. she is really good at that too. Jamie is going through some tuff times and I wish her the best. I am thankful for my friends, and I am thankful to Jamie for coming to my StripTease classes. She always seems she was having fun.

My very good friend Holly has a neat website and very informational. She definitely inspires me with all the detailed information that she gives to me. I love talking to her face to face too because she is full of the Lord. Very faithful person. I love her. She can tackle several different projects at once alot better than I can. I am thankful that she gives me hope and aspires me to be a better faithful person.

The next fav blog is about a really cute couple. I stopped by her blog one day and I just fell in love with how at a young age she has been all over the place. She is so positive. I just love having positive people around. She always holds her head up high. Steph and Ben are a great couple. She has posted a great recipe too. Looks good for the upcoming dinner. Differently a great post.

I dropped by Connected 2 Christ and it is so cute with the holiday theme. She has some really neat holiday picks and the most important thing of all is that she points out the God does love us. Hop on over to her site if you get a chance during the break before football.

Lee is the lastest blogger to follow me and I have to tell you if you want to read some really good stories this blog has it all. Lee's Senior Moments is so much fun to read and has some really awesome links to other good sites. I am thankful for Lee for dropping by every once in a while. Lee I do enjoy your stories.

I love Reality TV and I just so happened to come across a site who truly keeps up with them all. I just don't know how because man, there are so many Reality TV shows around anymore, that I just can't keep up with them all unless they have a marathon on or something. I am thankful for all the marathons so that I can catch up. Thanks to this blog I can, I don't get to hop over there too much, but I like it.

Along with Reality TV I love fitness and 5 Minutes for Mom tells us how to put the Turkey down and be thankful for our bodies. Thankful that I can walk, do jacks, push-ups and to use my mind. Thank you 5 minutes for Mom, thank was some great information. They are having a Christmas five away.

If I love snow I would definitely would live in Colorado or Montana. Blogging Us is a great blog for showing us all about Colorado. I love the stories that come from this blog. I haven't visited them too much lately along with everyone else, but I do like dropping by and seeing what she is writing about. Go check them out too.

I am a jack of all trades. I have an interest in photography and interior designing. I found this really cool site in decorating. This site is called Desire to Inspire, this blog is really cool. I know I use that word alot. Very inspiring and gives me lots of ideas to bring either into my studio or my own home. I think it is a site to take a look at.

So there you go, some of my favorite blogs and I am Thankful that they inspire me to do more and take action for whatever it is.

To all the bloggers, keep writing and keep giving us information on yourself so that others can be inspired just like I have.

Just Feeling Sick! :(

Well, I am not really sick like flu or bug or anything with me physically.

Okay, Sunday was a good day. I was able to update my other blogs and put pictures on them on the web from my computer.

Last week, I had a friend of mine check out my computer and he found 10 viruses on the darn thing. He did not find anything on my external hard drive which was good because my whole life was on that hard drive. Did you happen to notice that I said "WAS"

Well, I just don't know, there I was sitting and typing and getting ready to print out some registration forms that I need for my studio when I double click like normal and it gave me an error. "Can't find path" WHAT? I know it is in there, I can see it. You stupid computer, why can't you find it. It is right there.

So, I thought, well maybe since I plugged in the external hard drive in after I booted the computer up, so I did a reboot. Well, now the stupid computer can't even find my external hard drive, well no I take that back. It found the hard drive but the disk is not formatted. "Would you like to format the disk", it keep asking. Well, OK! Then it gives me a warning that if I format it, I will lose all my data. Well, I LOST ALL OF MY LIFE! GONE! LIKE A BLINK OF AN EYE! POOOOOF! By this time I am furious.

A soccer ball is the last thing I want to be kicking, but I thought it said it. Finally, I said Ok, go ahead, since ALL MY DATA IS GONE ANYWAY! Hence the touch of anger i built up. So, I click yes, what! another error. "Sorry, the disk can not be formatted because of something stupid. I can't even remember what it said I was so mad.

Four years of my life, just gone like that. WTF! I now have to recreate everything. Okay, for some you geeks out there. I do not have a mirror drive. That drive was messed up too a while back, so I am totally working off one main hard drive and now a new external hard drive I had before to put in another computer. Oh, by the way, my external hard drive that I bought will not work in the computer I have because it does not have the same connectors.

You know it really could be worse. I think I need some chocolate or just a really good alcohol beverage. No, cause I have to go teach. For my birthday next week, I am having a good stiff drink. I think I deserve that. Yea ME!

What is Wrong with This Picture?

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:19:00 +0000

Who says that we can't all just live together?

I used to watch the Tom and Jerry show (cartoon) and I totally love it. I still do and I think the mouse is just so cute. Well, the mouse is always teasing the cat. The cat is always trying to out smart the mouse. Right!

Okay, in the Sylvester and Tweetie cartoon, the cat is always trying to get the bird. The bird is always teasing the cat.

Well, not in my house. Take a look.

Here is my sweet 12 inch beagle sleeping with my daughter on one side of the bed and the cat on the other side. All is good at night time. :)

Here is my Tweetie and Sylvester. Ed (the parrot) was not even upset that the cat was near. The cat (snowflake) was sitting on my lap just moments ago before the picture.

Now, tell me we can' t all live together.

I thought about bringin the duck in (Aflac) to sit and poop all over me for a Kodak moment. I was voted against that moment.

Oh! such happy time at my little West Texas Redneck House. What next.

We Have Fire!

noreply@blogger.com (pkay) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:32:00 +0000

Yes, we have made fire in the backyard. I know, bunch of rednecks.

My girls wanted to make smores. What! I said, I think my hubby must have been drinking because the next thing I know, he is outside being Paul Bunin chopping on wood. HA!

He digs a little area and Wham we have fire! The air was quite chilly and so it worked really well. I think they were trying to get into the Halloween spirit. Now, where are those ghost.

So, after I finished working on my Red, White and Blue Turbo shirt and being the crafty mom that I am, I joined the group. Enjoy the pictures.

Now this one above looks freaky!

I thought Sam you might enjoy this too.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. My daughter and the guy standing are going to dress up as Batman and Batgirl. They look really good. I will have pictures of the exciting event. They are suppose to be off riding the scooter. Should be hilarious.
