Suprise!

The kids "decorated" the yard while I was napping as a suprise for me.
Yeah, They toilet papered my yard.

Awesome.

All I could think was "Man, those are expensive "mummy wraps" that are now hanging from my tree".


I quit.

I Like Mornings.... But Not All Neighbors

I do not appreciate being woken up by the next door neighbors' teenage son's FRIEND laying on his horn at the butt crack of dawn to signal him to come to the truck.

That is not cool.

The grumpy empty nesting neighbors across the street offered to take my yard waste to the dump. That was nice of them. I know they only offered because to them my house and yard is an eye sore for their "Better Homes and Gardens" attitudes. They don't like anyone but themselves, That's OK with me cause I don't like them either ;).  Especially when they garden outside in their swimwear. They are not speedo worthy people....just saying. There is just something about excessive back fat that detracts from their beautiful gardens and magazine worthy birdhouse displays.

I have always wanted those neighbors that you could invite over for coffee and just hang out in the mornings after the kids are in school. But I'm mostly never outside anymore. ::Audible Gasp::   Idea! This week I will spend 20 min a day outside in my neighborhood and report my findings. We will call this neighbor spy 2012. Lets see if anything comes of this. ;)
I had GREAT neighbors in Leavenworth. I miss them terribly. I am so small town oriented that I miss when people dont call me by my first name in the grocery store. (Well actually it was usually "Boston or Luke's Mom.")
Alrighty....Adventure Awaits Me! ( Im going outside!)

Gah!!

Who sweats while doing laundry? I mean really?
Granted I'm putting on a Broadway style performance in my living room of Green Day's "Holiday". But no, I should not sweat like a pig whilst doing it.
I blame sock folding...apparently its cardio in disguise. Stupid socks.

10 for you!

1. I love sugar cookies. Thickly iced ones are my favorite. mmmmmm.....cookies.
2. My dog is awesome......except for the not awesome destroying of everything that he does. That dog can destroy any object that you put in front of him in less than 5 minutes. I promise! At least he's cute.
3. I just found a note card that says "Boston is a huge nut ball". I'm guessing Natalie is doing creative writing ;)
4. I'm Las Vegas bound here in 2 weeks! I'm a wee bit excited! Cirque!!!!
5. If I purchase bubble bath, I will then use said bubble bath everyday until it is gone. I love it.
6. I went and took my sister to see the Thunder from Down Under. (Sweet Australian goodness that it the mostly naked fireman, cowboy, and gangster......drool..... Sorry ;) ) It was awesome, as were the jello shots and margarita that I had before the show even started. Just like the water I was drinking. ;)  I had bought tickets for my mom too (for her birthday....favorite daughter here!) She loved it, She bought 10 jello shots that we thought that she was going to share....nope, all for her ;)  That's my blood y'all.
7. October is here and I live for it! It's getting cooler out and it is officially hot chocolate and apple pie weather. Snuggling and soup are necessities that are absolutely required in my household. As are warm blankets and Halloween movies!
8. Luke tried to leave for school this morning wearing his pajamas under his clothes.....apparently I wasn't supposed to notice. Sorry kid, Lazy doesn't work for me.
9. Magic Mike comes out on DVD this month...It will be mine.
10. I made some major vintage scores at the Goodwill! I got a new milk glass lamp AND a 1950's fan!
