A morning in the life...

2005-01-25T13:14:00.000-03:30

Mornings - What kind of a morning person are you? I normally wake up giggling and dancing around. I get the most work done and I have such a clear mind that I usually work like a horse until Days of our Lives which is from 1:30-2:30... I consider this all my morning. I think of something for supper and look for all the ingredients. I do the laundry, dust the floors, mop the kitchen floor because there will always be peanut butter, jam and coffee stains. There will also be bread crumbs. I live in a house full of bread crumbs. We always have homemade bread. It's messy and it is always cooked on top of the stove. We threw away the toaster which was a huge mistake but then again, since I married my hubby, no one wants to eat toast in a toaster. It tastes so much better cooked over an open grill. Imagine four people so that means at least 8 slices of homemade bread are cooked over the grill each day if not more. Breakfast is usually the messiest meal. We all eat at different times. Dad eats at 5 am, Shaun eats at 6, Jonny eats at 4 and I'm always the last one who usually eats between 7-8. I've been so off schedule though. For the past couple of months I hadn't been feeling well so that meant, I was eating breakfast when I normally didn't and that I wasn't getting up until 9:30-10.. Anyone who knows me, knows that if I don't get up early, my day is ruined. I have so much stuff to do. I have to make calls, clean, check my mail and answer questions if need be. I hadn't gotten anything done in ages. The past four days though, I'm up and ready to go. I'm afraid to say out loud that I feel good because I don't want to jinx it. My shoulder which has had ongoing pain for almost a year isn't bothering me as much and I can actually sit at the computer for longer then 20 minutes at a time. I only had one migrane in the past four days and I lay back down for 20 minutes and got back up and felt ready to take on the world. Life right now, if GREAT!!!.. I just hope it lasts..

........... Walmart opened today!!! I haven't been there yet. If I get a few minutes after my work out tomorrow I might check it out. If not, I'll go Thursday which is check day. I just have to pay all my bills before I go into the store.. If anyone has ever lived in a small town, you will know what it is like to have tiny stores and nothing to choose from. Walmart will be our saving grace...

I love the look of this house

2005-01-25T01:12:00.000-03:30

However, it is only listed as having three bedrooms. The house looks huge but only three bedrooms is a negative. I really like the look of it though.. hmmmmmmm

Take my breath away

I was watching Decorating Challenge today and one of the designers wrote the quote below on a wall.. It's so beautiful...

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Take care of your pets

Our neighbors dog isn't spayed which means every time she puts the dog out on her leash to use the bathroom, all the male dogs come running. The past couple of weeks, we have to make a run for the house because animals chase us inside or chase our girl dog Taco even though she is spayed. Taco only weighs 5 pounds and half of that is fur. The animal control came yesterday but couldn't catch any of the animals but tonight as my hubby was walking back home, this black dog chased him up on the step. Shaun caught him and we called animal control. I'm very happy that we caught him because he is such a loving dog. He didn't bark or try to bite us and he does belong to someone because he was wearing a leash. He has been on our doorstep for days now and he hasn't had anything to eat. He was just dreaming of the dog next door. Our basement door is close to her basement apartment and since the huge patio was taken down and replaced with a smaller one, we are wide open and the moment we go outside with our dogs the other dogs chase us and jump on Taco so we had to do something. The animal control officer will put the dog on the local radio station in the morning and hopefully whoever owns it will come and get him and keep him inside. If I didn't own two dogs already, I'd have brought him inside and called him Skip and he would have been my dog but I just couldn't handle another dog right now. We've been having so many problems training ours that it has turned into a full time job. It makes me rethink wanting to have kids....

I love these windows

Hubby and I love to jump in the car and drive somewhere to take pictures... This picture was taken about 10 miles away... Last fall we were there and hiked down past the falls. It was wonderful..

3 rings of marriage

Engagement Ring, Wedding Ring, and... Suffering...

I was watching the tele earlier and all of a sudden we hear this. Shaun looks at me, I look at him and we both giggle. "You're in for it Mister," I say... tehe!!

((( Sometimes I like to go and read old blog posts of mine to see what I was doing or feeling at certain times.. I'll post them in my new blog for my own personal amusement)))

The Body Shop has a huge sale going on..

I love Fuzzy Peach perfume from The Body Shop but my husband hates it. It's my smell, my personal smell. Everyone who ever knew me, knew me to smell of baby powder and Fuzzy Peach. When I met my would be husband, I was dirt poor and going to college. I bought a bottle of vanilla body spray because I was out of Fuzzy Peach and the only way to buy the perfume oil was to go to the city and we live so far and it costs so much to visit (yadda yadda) I didn't get to restock. In class, the guys would say they could smell cookies and they were hungry all the time. It wasn't until I leaned over a guys seat to talk to him did he realize that it was me who was making everyone hungry.. tehe!! It was my vanilla perfume. I smelled like cookies... My husband, the biggest cookie monster in the world I'm sure, loved the smell and refuses to smell me any other way. I finally got my bottle of Fuzzy Peach and he hates it. He says it is because it makes his nose itch but I know it's the cookie smell he likes. Grrrrrrrrrr...

Helpful Hints: Cooking causes herbs to lose flavour so try adding herbs to recipes 15-20 minutes prior to the completion of cooking time...

Finely chopping fresh herbs releases more of their flavour and aroma.

For those Days of our Lives fans out there who remember the old Belle aka Kirstin Storms, will be on CSI:Miami tonight! I love this girl! I'm a huge Days of our Lives fan! -hangs head in shame- I'm driven crazy each night of Days of our Lives related dreams. Last night I was in jail with John Black and I escaped only to bring back cookies to him. Argh!

Was I wrong?

2005-01-16T21:18:00.000-03:30

We have three computers hooked up to a router and the internet was slow all day. My dear brother mentions that he thinks it is my husbands computer who is slowing down the internet because he has too many programs running at the same time. We unplug my hubby's computer and within minutes the net is faster. My husband will know something happened. Should I lie and say the power went or should I say I tripped and unplugged his computer by mistake or tell the truth knowing he will be mad at me for a week? hmm,.... If he is mad at me I won't get a full body massage... too much pressure to do the right/wrong thing...

A long weekend

2005-01-16T20:19:00.000-03:30

I love the weekends and I normally love Sunday's because I get to watch a multitude of decorating shows but today for some reason nothing is on. I've spent most of the afternoon watching CSI with the commentary on. I'm a nut, yes, I'll agree but I love knowing how things are made and what people were thinking when they did something.

I'm 90% finished with a clients website. I'm quite pleased with the outcome as well. Finally, I like something that I did. I had never been happy with the flow. I live in a small town and people around here don't have a lot of taste and don't really understand the workings of the internet. Okay, with that said, one of the complaints I had about the website was that people couldn't see all the pictures nor did they like to use the mouse to scroll down the page to see something. Of course you have to scroll down the page, what else could you do. I changed the entire website and had it all in frame. There was no scrolling to the bottom or the top because it was all right in front of you. Then the complaint was that there were too many links to click. With people like that, you can never please them. - end rant....

This week, I have to get my butt to Curves because I have been slacking off, pay bills and do another clean sweep of the kitchen. I'm trying to get rid of clutter in the house and I have so many things I don't want nor need that it's time to pick through everything. Walmart is opening in a week or so and I have a shopping list two miles long. It's so exciting. We have no where to shop here and finally, I might be able to find something I like without having to order it through a catalogue which costs 10 times more.

Frozen butter...

2005-01-15T21:54:00.000-03:30

If you freeze a stick of butter and then grate it on a cheese grater to add to your baking pot, your pastry or dough etc will fluff up and expand. It will evenly distribute butter to your ingredients unlike using a stick of butter at room temperature. Does anyone else do this?
