Allergies=Shot

Needles make me "throw up", sweat, get clammy, get a headache and I HATE THEM. However I have an earache, sore throat, and feel like yukko! The last shot I got for my allergies a year ago, made this crater like dent in my hiney! Do I want to do that again????

I just might have to go get a shot on Monday. I can't stand this stuff. Even the "netti pot" won't clear this up.


wah, wah, wah, I want my "momma," oops she was the one that gave me most of my shots.... I want my "sissy!"

Tuesday Tidbits

And I thought my kids were finished with "trick or treat".... hahahaha Aren't they cute! Well in the eyes of their Momma they are. The boys went to a Halloween Party on Saturday night. Ryan was Lt. Dangle, do you know that guy? He is on TV on some silly police show. It really is kinda funny. He's really "dumb". (Lt. Dangle, not Ryan.)
Lance is coach and Laura a cheerleader. Lance wore Gramps old shirt and found some "old" coaching shorts. Laura's Cowboy Cheerleader is cute on her. Silly funny kids. It looks like they had fun.

Me, I had a sinus issue and didnt even go to the football game. It was homecoming too. I was suppose to have lunch with my Momma and Rick on Sunday and didnt feel like getting out. My head was pounding and the sun didnt mix with that. I must have been really hurting, they went to Cheesecake Factory and I had a grilled cheese at home. :( :( :(

I am so ready for a freeze. Die you silly little organisms that cause my allergies!

By the way... whats up with KBEZ playing Christmas music already. They usually start on the day after Thanksgiving. They are messing with my head and I dont need any more issues. We generally go to "Lights On "at Utica Sq. and then ,the next day KBEZ starts "the music". They are making thunderstorms in my head.


I think I will start using a "Budget". I know thats a word I never use. I just roll with paying what we owe and then we have whats left over. I dont think my parents used a budget??? Anyway, I found www.pearbudget.com . You can use it free for 30 days. It tracks your spending and helps you know where that money went. I guess it will keep me from having Starbucks often. I will keep you posted on the 30 day experience. I do have all my Christmas finished, except for the stockings stuffers and a few little things.

Better go get dressed and off to Uptown for my roots to have their party!

Thursday Tidbits

I would really like to have this rug. Its so cute and would look darling in my entry hall for dirty boots and wet shoes this fall. I think it would be delightful, Only problem its $650. plus shipping for the UK. Holy Moly! Guess I can keep wishin, isn't that what dreams are for??


Yesterday was crazy. I am generally scheduled to be at CASA court on Thursday. Nope it was yesterday. The docket started at 9:30. my CASA case was no.2 . To make a long story short, the first witness was called at 1:30. HELLO, can they not tell time??? Anywho its being continues to 11/23. I will forget stuff by then. Thanks goodness I dont have to make any decisions.

Its been a rainy day here in Cville. I made a cute dress for a friends daughter. Pics later. A dog bed for Moey and did laundry. Hubs has a meeting tonight so I am gettin ready to throw something in the oven with my acorn squash. It sound healthy, but by the time I slap all that butter and brown sugar on it, wow we are talking calories! uh huh hmmmmm.

Last night I took Moey out to potty in the backyard, she found a frog, she was as scared as the frog. Speaking of animals and critters. We have had a mouse explosion in this house. I caught 5, yes 5 of them today. My bait of choice is bread. Smush it all up in the holder part of the trap thingy and set it under the sink. bam, bam, bam, bam there it goes!

I was invited to a "slumber party" tonight. I though ...on a weeknight. Well. darlin you are not sleeping at this one. Its "thingy's" for the boudoir. Just let you imagination go way down in the gutter and roll around for a while. I saw pictures of things in a catalog I didnt know what they were or what you do with them. I AM NOT going tonight, I have something else I have to do, but I don't think I want those visual images in my head. It might cause a thunderstorm.

Cant tell you what I doin tonight , hehehe-- momma, you want to know, cant tell you its a Christmas surprise, but one hint... 1. BFF Pam is going with me. thats it 1 hint.


Better go get my nutritious meal in the oven and co another mouse check under the sink.

Monday musings

I found this picture on KappaPrep blog, anyway I love the picture on the fireplace mantel! Do you?? I am thinking maybe I might just make me a smaller one.

We had a great weekend. Ryan moved to Tulsa and the house is quiet again. Well not really, Moey is here. My dining room is now a storage room and will be for another year...
We didnt use the room except for holidays.

I am looking at places to go for a quick Anniversary trip. I could wait and go to Ireland next spring or Im thinking Savannah after Christmas. Our anniv is Dec 29. Hmmmmmm whats a girl to do.

I have a ton of things to do this week, PEO, CE Class, Court /CASA case, ??? I cant say because my mom would know what she is getting for Christmas, clean the garage to get the cars in, tidy the house and vac, finish some crafting stuff and finish some things I started a few months ago. I need to go to OKC but the weekend is full of stuff too! Maybe next Mon-Tues?? Are you home Mom?

Have a great day, enjoy some cider and pumpkin bread with me in a few minutes.

I was scanning blogs this morning instead of doing the house chores and a blogger had Bubba's the other night. Oh my! This is the all time best chicken in the south! Its down by SMU in Dallas. In the summer its hotter than H*ll! But the chicken melts in your mouth. I wonder if they would FedX and overnight shipment of chicken, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy.

I made some yummy pumpkin/chocolate chip muffin/cupcakes for tomorrow nights tail gate at TU. I am going to teach at New Haven tomorrow and the game is after work. So I am making some chili tonight and letting it simmer on low all day in hubs office. SO we will have chili, Frito's, cupcakes/muffins, tea, sweet tea! I hope the rain stops. I don't like watching anything in the rain.

Better get going this morning. I am helping Pam with a catering job, then going to see my little CASA girl at her daycare, then to staff meeting at New Haven and finally to my CASA girls foster home!. Oh yea and I need to go to Reasors to grab some chili fixins. Then home!

Sunday somethings

Yep, those Cowboys won a football game! Go Pokes!! You really really have to be a true Cowboy to follow OSU football, you never know if we are going to win or not. Yippee for this week


TU plays on Wednesday.... ESPN be sure to look for me! I will be wearing blue. hehehe!

Busy weekend- Ryan is much better. The Swine flu was derailed with Tamiflu and he will be back at work tomorrow. I didn't accomplish much this weekend. I was so cozy in the house, so I read a good book and drank hot cocoa.

Speaking of hot cocoa... I have gained 6 lbs since Aug. I will not be making any more bread, cookies, cupcakes, pumpkin/chocolate chip muffins! No more Starbucks Pumpkin Spice for me. Just straight coffee and toast for breakfast, 1/2 sandwich for lunch and a little supper. I fixed beef tips and noodles with a gigantic salad for lunch. No supper for me!

Have a great week and enjoy this cozy weather.
