Fans on, fans off.

So, like usual the weather is crazy right now. I almost turned the heater on 2 days ago, instead, I closed all the windows, and turned all the fans off. Then dressed the kids, and myself in winter pagama's & socks. Now today, I've got all the fans on, and windows open. Kinda crazy when I do laundry, and I have shorts, & pants in one weeks batch! We've got the last festival of the summer in 2 weekends. Please lord let it be a nice Saturday!

First day of school pic.'s

Mayla on the first day. She was happy, but didn't want her pitcure taken (clearly).

Jarrett on his first day of pre-school. It was just an openhouse, so we only stayed for about an hour. After we left, he told me "I dont want you to come to school with me tomorrow mom". Ahhhh independence!

I was proposed to! (I said yes)

Amber & Mike ( isn't he hot!?)






















So, May 30th 2009 our dear friends Amber & Mike are getting married! Well, last Saturday Amber proposed to me to be one of her bridesmaids. I told her HELL YEAH! I dont care if I'm in the wedding, I just wanted to be invited! The bachelorette party is gonna be the bomb too!


Also, June 19th 2009, Gordon's friend John is getting married in Vermont. He has asked Gordon to be the bestman, and Mayla to be the flower girl (it's the day before Mayla's 8th b-day).


Also, July 11th 2009 my friend Kyra is getting married in Idaho. I've never been to a gay wedding ceremony, so I really want to go. Plus, it's been forever since I've seen Kyra, & her family, & I miss them terribly!





I started a diet (again) yesterday. I've counted the weeks, and as long as I lose 2lbs a week I'll be at a great weight for the weddings. 2lbs is a great goal. I can do that. I've figures out that when you start a diet, you cant look at the overall goal, you need to do it a little at a time. 2lbs seems like cake to me (haha cake-no pun intended). Since at first I lose about 5lbs a week I'll be good, it's when I get near my overall goal that I have problems. Wish me luck. I only hope to be as thin & sexy as my older sister. Also, by the time Amber & Mike get married, it will be spring, and I'll be ready for a kick butt (thinner) summer.

It's a quickie.

So, it's Saturday, nothin really going on, which is probably why I'm blogging. I just got back from Kmart. I hate the parking lot at our Walmart, so I just avoid the whole place all together. I had to get Jarrett's backpack, and a few odd's & ends for school. I walked the place 3 times, and I'm so tired now. Gordon is in the garage cleaning it out. The garage is another place I avoid, especially when it's getting cleaned. I clean the whole house by myself all the time, so I think it's ok for someone else to be in charge of the garage. Needless to say, it is pretty dirty most of the time. The weather is really strange right now. It rained on Thursday, and Friday, so it's been pretty chilly. We had a bonfire last night in the backyard. Dianna (little sister) & Brad (her hubby) got into a fight over the dumbest thing. I think the main reason was, that the attention was not on him, so he had a pitty party. I went to drop some gifts for my mom that we got her while she was in Az/Ut, and Brad stayed in Dianna's room the whole time I was there. What a baby! Oh well. I watch kids all week, I dont wanna have to cater to grown adults that need child like attention on my days off! Gordon & I are going on a triple date tonight with Nate, Ashley, Mike, & Amber. Were going to Ye ol Roadhouse. a.k.a. Roadhouse. It's one of the nicer restraunts in town. I really want to go to some garage sales, but I think the season is over for the year. Gordon is going to go help Bremer move into Alisons house, so mabye I'll take a nap. Mason lost his game on Thursday. I forget how mad he gets when he looses. I didnt go, but when I picked him up, he wouldnt even talk to me. They only lost by 2 points. Here & there since then I have heard a few highlights of the game. He was starting tailback. He's got a home game in 2 weeks, so I'm gonna take the kids to watch him. On a lighter note, varsity won by 2 points. Well, I guess the garage is done, so I'm gonna go check it out, then hit my pillow for a little nappie nap.

Venison steaks anyone????

I guess I've had a little too much time on my hands today, now that the kids are in school. This is my 3rd post today, however, I'm kinda getting the hang of it....... for the most part! Plus, I've cleaned the house, and other than a batch of towels, my laundry is done (the chore I hate the most). So, we went camping for labor day, and have some left-over Venison steaks that were not cooked, but are totally thawed out. I hate Venison. Not the taste, but the fact that it is deer meat. I have eaten it before, but when I do, I get this pit in my stomache, and my brain starts thinking about this sweet little deer, eating some grass, minding his own business when BAM! I dont even want to touch the meat to begin to cook it, or even flip it over with some tongs. So, what do I do with it? Yeah, I know where hamburger, chicken, turkey, seafood, and ham (and the ever so delicious bacon) come from. I am a meatatarian. But, the whole deer thing grosses me out. Gordon cooks it for himself, and the kids, and I usually have a sandwhich or something, but he wont be home till Friday, and it will be bad by then. I HATE to waste food, but I think it might be going out with the trash tonight.
