Happy Memorial Day!

It was so nice to have today off of work, only to spend it doing homework for tonights class! but the weekend overall was fun, aside from the time spend on homework.
I went to the Taste of Cincinnati on Sunday, I will blog on that later when I have more time.

Have you ever had one of those lazy mornings? I woke up this morning with no need for the alarm clock, about 8:40am fell back to sleep for a "few minutes" and all of the sudden it was 10:40am when I woke up. I was so confused waking up, thinking I had slept only a few minutes longer, when it was really 2 hours longer! So I hopped in the shower and spent the rest of my day doing homework, I am off to class tonight. My day is almost done! Tomorrow will then be Tuesday and it is back to work.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday off, what is left of it!

Leave a comment telling me what you did for the memorial weekend.

frog maiting season agian!

The frogs are at it again! Moaning real load, and sound like a vacume cleaner! If I could insert a sound bite to this blog-post recording how noticable this is, I would. The frogs moaning is loader at night when we are trying to go to sleep. They sit on the rocks boardering the pond outside ( see photo above) moaning a load hummm to each other. Did I mention they are load? :)

Andrew and I moved here last year, in June, and noticed the frogs back then, coming to a conclusion that it was probably mating season for the frogs. I can confirm this, now that we are days away from June, and the frog moaning has started once again. The rest of the year the frogs are quiet and go with out notice. I need to get some sleep, "BE QUIET FROGS!"

2 hrs too long for American Idol

This is an ongoing drawn out, drag on, guest appearances, marathon of beating around the bush to announcing the next American Idol! I have a half hour more to find out that Taylor is the A.I. He is my vote we will see. But first let's watch the overly done 2 hour A.I. special finale!

I loved the part where they had a nerdy, reject sing a song live on stage and ended up singing with Clay Aikon! It was hilarious. There is a contestant who was let go during the first part of the season was a huge fan of Aikon and sort resembled him in a strange way. The reject guy became hysterical when Aikon walked out on stage.

OOOh! Prince is on to make his big appearance. Tell me who won not Prince it is 9:48! the show is over at 10!

Tonights Fox News report

First of all, I hope the guy is all right, and wish him a full recovery.

The news was on tonight and started with a "mystery". The news-woman reported that a man walking along the train tracks was hit by a train! (gasp!)

My word! He was hit by train?! how?

The way the reporter said this, sounded surprising...a person gets hit by a train while walking along the train tracks. (No way!)

Farwell to the show Will and Grace, it was a fun 8 years of watching. I will catch the reruns here and there, but it can not be compared to watching a new episode on a weekly basis. I hope to see new shows created in the similar style of sitcom. One that connects like this show and even the Friends or Sex in the City shows also. I love each show that are all in the past now! What will be next for my viewing pleasure? I need something that will last me another 8 years.

Note the website for Will&Grace, for more information and photos posted there.

Shabby Chic project

Not To Shabby! Project created by: Janie and Martiel on a Crafty Saturday Afternoon.

Before...What once was an ugly outdated lamp, salvaged for a dollar, hideous in avocado green with gold bands, is now the AFTER...


A lamp of pure elegance looks like $50. Look out Pier One! Cover the base in pewter spray paint, snazz up the shade with some beaded fringe, and Vwallah! Beautiful lamp that once was an ugly duckling...


(before photo, was edited to try to show what it looked like) we didn't think to take a "before photo" untill afterwards...oops!

OK, so according to the sign I saw (photo below) I am suppose to get my mom new blinds and not flowers for Mother's Day. Sorry Mom I got you some flowers, and not the blinds. The sign reads, " Forget the flowers Mom wants blinds!" I drove past this and couldn't resist taking a picture of it, the camption is so funny.

I got both of my moms flowers, and niether are going to get blinds for Mother's Day. LOL. I have two moms now, one being my mother-in-law of course, so both get a lovely boquet of flowers sent from us.

Was this Blinds Plus store really going to thinks they would get alot of mother's day sales??? How many of 'you' out there actually bought blinds for your mother on Mother's Day?

Don't Let Thier Cuteness Con You!

This morning on my way home from the dentist cleaning, I drove up to a "huge garage sale” as the sign says... The garage sale has all baby/toddler stuff for sale. I didn't fall into their target market apparently because I don't have any kids yet. At the foot of the drive way there is a Kool-Aid Stand ~ 25 cents for a cup of grape Kool-Aid. I couldn't pass this up, the brother and sister team were selling their Kool-Aid but I didn't have a quarter on me, so I pull out a dollar. I ask the girl if she had change, she responds back with this blank look on her face like she doesn't know why I would want change, grabs a cup and pours me some grape Kool-Aid, and I ask again, "how about I give you a dollar and you give me 50 cents?" So I was even throwing in an extra quarter for the drink...again she just looked cute and innocent. I gave up, gave her my entire dollar for the cup of Kool-Aid, and walked back to my car.

As I was getting into the car, I heard her run to her mom and say, "Mom look we got a whole dollar!"

She conned me with their cuteness! I paid $1 for a 25 cent cup of grape Kool-Aid. She will be rich by the end of the day!

Parking in Germany

(This is a posting of an email I recieved) This is pretty modern and amazing!

EMAIL:
This is is pretty amazing! Can you imagine how all this operates? How do they lock each car in its cubicle for safety. WHO CARES. NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND COULD GET IN THERE.Talk about German efficiency! The two photos were taken at a new parking garage in Munich. The actual space that the facility occupies is approximately only 20% of a comparable facility with the traditional design that is used primarily in the US. Not only is the German structure less expensive to build, but vehicles are also "retrieved" in less time and without the potential of being damaged by an attendant.

My thoughts:
Hope there is not an earthquake! I vaguely remember this being thought of years ago, and now it is a reality! Wow.This is in Germany, I wonder how long it will take to have one of these in the USA, and which state will build one first?
