Happy Birthday Scott.....

I'm wishing my husband a HAPPY 44th Birthday today.....

I am making him Spaghetti & Meatballs, with a banana cake for dessert.....

I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow.....

Rainy Saturday.....

Well here it is Saturday.... and it's RAINING..... So whats the best thing to do, SHOP!!!! LOL.....

I plan to head over the mountain today.... 2nd hand stores, Wal~Mart, Gabriel Brothers, & maybe the Dollar Store.... I'm in need of some clothes.... and the start of Christmas shopping....

Scott is working today (well actually Turkey hunting with his boss for a while this morning)....

We will be heading out to Kentucky for Christmas.... it will be nice to spend a Holiday with my family.... it's been a few years.... I am also excited to meet Allisa, my niece who was born in May.... and of course Alexus, who I haven't seen since she was 2 (she's now 6).... I guess the boys will probably try to head to NY, this will be their baby sister's 1st Christmas....

This has been an interesting week.... we finally got my vacuum back together & running (WOO HOO).... Had a scare, thought my washers water pump died, but it was just the hose, easy fix.... we haven't seen the SUN in about a week.... I'm tired of the fog & rain.... and then Deb just told me that they are calling for snow on Monday.... oh well.... I bought Scott's birthday present already (a week early).... he got a Savage 30-06 rifle.... got a good price on it....

So anyway, I'm off here.... should soon get ready to head out.... but why rush? I have all day....

What a weekend....

It was great.... So much got done.... Hardly seems possible....

Friday evening; Scott & I went to the local bi~weekly auction.... Usually we go to get things to resell, but of course with no place to store that type of stuff, we only bought what we "wanted".... we came home with 3 rolling pins, a nice ceiling fan, a nice wooden/mason jar lantern, an old Remington clay target thrower (for Jeff), 3 nice plastic totes.... Oh my there were a few other things too.... we only spent $30.... the ceiling fan would have cost us that new....

Saturday; Scott worked, and I cleaned up the yard ( a big pile of stuff by the garage).... Hired Brian to help me.... What a big help.... Now I have a pile of "free stuff" sitting in the front yard.... In the afternoon, I took Brian out to lunch, had chinese.... then we stopped at the Family Dollar & Karns.... I dropped him off then came home.... I made pasta salad to take to Jeff & Deb's, then Cindy stopped by to visit.... it was nice.... At 5:30 I had to leave, so I grab my purse, flip the lock on the dead bolt, grab the pasta salad & head out the door.... As soon as the door shut behind me I knew what I had done.... My keys were in the house..... AAAGGGGHHHH!!!! This house is unbreakable (without breaking windows).... So I ended up taking Cindy's van to Jeff & Deb's.... Scott met me there after playing referee at the boys' house.... we had supper & visited a little, home by 10PM....

Sunday; we slept in a little, then vegged for the morning.... In the afternoon, we put up our "new" ceiling fan in our room.... Tony & Nikki came up to visit, then borrowed out truck & trailer to go get their 4~wheelers.... then they went 4~wheelin with Kevin.... While they were gone, Scott & I went to burn junk & clean up the stuff that came out of the trailer.... then Scottie & Darren showed up.... Darren went for a walk in the woods, Scottie (my pyro) took over burning junk..... After everyone left, Scott & I went to Jeff & Deb's.... Got all the Halloween decorations packed up, organized, & put in the basement....

Today, I don't have a lot going on.... the basics of course, and I want to go through the "free stuff" out front, and burn junk that no one would want.... I also have a couple bills to get paid....

Before I get off here, figuared I'd give a "Boys Update"....
Tony is moving out of the house.... Nikki & him are getting their own place.... Scottie & Darren will continue with the house..... I think this is all for the best.... Tony, Nikki, & Rylin will be much happier I believe....

So anyhow, I'm off for today.... Make it a GREAT one....
