Project – Jam Session

So Sunday nights we have dinner with friends (or at least every time we can make it, it’s a weekly thing at their house for a bunch of friends). Tonight we made it! Noah when he’s in town brings his guitar and tonight he and Prince Charming picked and sang. It was a lot of fun and trust me the food was fabulous! So without further adu I present Project Jam Session (or maybe I should have called it picking… hmmmm I’ll ponder that for a while).

Nicole:

I liked that my baby was playing and Noah was singing. I loved this photo though b/c it so looks like Noah is singing into his water bottle (aka spit bottle)

Prince Charming:

Prince Charming liked this one because of the serious look on Noah’s face.

Ok I’ll try to announce one for next week… let’s hope we get it done :). Next weeks word: Kentucky…

Project – Pond

Ok so we are getting caught up on our weekly posts. This is for last week :). This one is project pond, if you couldn’t guess from the title 🙂 I’ll make it short, sweet and to the point, so that means get prepared for the photos 🙂

Nicole: She’s not much to look at right now, however in the summer time she’ll be beautiful again. This is the pond we built my mom 2 years ago.

Prince Charming: So technically this isn’t a pond, it’s a big puddle in our driveway but Prince Charming likes to pick on Tbug and call it a pond. He liked this photo because of the reflection of the trees.

Go Cards!!!!

Ok sorry for the confusion, this is not a baseball post. This is a Red Bird story post that is near and dear to my heart.

So the year was about 2005, I was home one weekend from college and we were all sleeping peacefully one Sunday morning when all the sudden we hear, Peck, Peck, Peck, Peck, Peck…. etc. You get the point. Anyway, there was this pesky red bird that was flying into the big circle top window in front of my mom & dad’s house. It was annoying, especially at 6 am when we were all snug as a bug in a rug in our beds. The funny part, this continued every morning for the next 2 weeks at the exact same time of day. We’d go, shew him away but that wouldn’t detour him, he’d wait until we were gone and he’d be right back at it.

Maxine

Who doesn’t love Maxine? I think some of the things she says are hilarious, and yet others, are flat out right on the money… which is sad sometimes! Anyway I got this email at work and thought it was too cute not to share so here you go 🙂 Have a good Saturday morning laugh on me… or well Maxine 🙂

Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light!

1.. My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God and I didn’t.

2.. I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

3.. Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.

4.. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

5… Don’t take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.

OSHA 10 Hr

When I was hired for my job, one of the questions in the interview I was asked was, What do you know about OSHA. I was like, um… I can tell you what the initials stand for :). yeah, I knew nothing, unfortunately, but hey I still got the job… must have helped that I have a college degree (not in OSHA though.. haha but of all things, Agriculture…..), yeah maybe not… Maybe it was my willingness to learn… well whatever it was I got the job. When they offered the job to me, they said I might have to attend some different classes to learn some of this stuff. Hey no problem for me, oddly enough I like learning things I don’t know. I’m thinking at times that makes me a nerd but whatever… call it what you want. I was at this job (not the company just the job) a year last November. I’ve been learning as I go. I’ve met lots of people through email and phone and throw my co-workers off when they blurt out a name and 95% of the time I can blurt out the branch or visa versa but I deal on this on a pretty consistent basis.

In the first part of January, I was hit up by 2 co-workers to help take on a project. One of them is based out of our office but lives in New England, Dave & the other is based out of one of the Illinois branches, Colby. Colby is certified to conduct OSHA training and we were going to host one here for our company based on our company issues. (more…)

Just Cause :)

It’s such a cute story I just have to share. Last night my mom decided to start walking on her treadmill. (remember my wedding is coming up…..) I was sitting in the living room reading my new cookbook (The Pioneer Woman Cooks, more to come about that!!) waiting for Prince Charming to get done taking a shower so we could make dinner and then watch The Twilight Saga: New Moon (my baby loves me, he bought it for me, again I’ll address that later). Anyway, I was reading my cookbook and I heard Mudflap just barking and raising cain. I thought what the heck and then I heard my mom start laughing. Next thing I knew Mudflap was standing in front of one of the French doors in the living room barking then he ran down the deck and started barking again. Of course, I had to get up and investigate.

Project – Eyes

Eyes… Some people think that they are the best feature on the opposite sex, now there is always a debate, blue vs brown… or in the case of Mudflap, he couldn’t decided so he apparently decided to go down the middle and have one of both :). There actually is an actress that way also. She was in the movie Blue Crush, Kate Bosworth. I think it would be cool to have one of each colored eyes however I bet as a kid you might get picked on… but eventually it’d so be worth it… in my opinion! Boy I use …. a lot but hey that’s me. Mark uses !!!!! or ????? …. LOL.

Nicole: I was squatted down in Aloha’s stall and Mudflap & Morelli were curious as to what I was up too so I had 2 pair of puppy dog eyes on me 🙂
