Woah! Step back - the future's so bright for you it's blinding me! You are the coolest of the cool. Everyone looks up to you as the benchmark for being coooool. The fonze was your grandfather. Any cooler and you'd freeze! WOO it's chilly in here.
This is my son Casey (in the red cap) and my nephew Keaton after their fishing trip on Monday. They are the two youngest and the least experienced yet they were the only two that could catch a fish! We got them cleaned up and fried up and man were they good! Nothing like fresh pickerel!
I hope ya'll are having a terrific summer and are doing things that you enjoy so you'll have some great memories of Summer 2004!
Have a great evening everyone, and an even better tomorrow!
Well I love summer! It's my favourite time of the year. I never like to complain when it's too hot as we just don't get enough warm weather for my liking. All that being said .... Man ....it's hot! 8) And I'm loving it!
The only problem I have with the heat is it makes everyone so damn grumpy! I can't even look sideways at my husband and he has a hissy fit and my kids are really whiny! They can't seem to get their complaints together either .... My husband is really grumpy when he first gets home from work until about 7 or 8 o'clock. He spends a couple hours downstairs where it's nice and cool and he generally drifts off to sleep. My boys start much later when they have to go upstairs to bed. They both have their own TV's with games etc and my oldest has a computer which is on constantly so the heat in their rooms is awful. I keep fans on 24/7 for them but when it's hot outside the upstairs is always warm in the house even without the electronics. I just don't listen to the complaints .... they should do what I do .... a nice skinny dip in the pool before bed and you'll sleep like a baby! Ahhhhh! lovely ..... just lovely! :P
I get another round of company tomorrow so who knows when I'll be blogging again .....
Until then ... have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow!
Ok .. make fun of me if you will but I like the woman! I think that she is a smart business woman with self confidence coming out the wazoo! She built herself up on her own without any help from a man. Because she did this she has been labelled as a bitch. Now if she had a penis, she would be a savy businessman .... what a pile of crap! She hasn't been charged with insider trading but with lying ... I don't buy it .... She wasn't making any money on this trade. There is talk of anywhere from $40,000 to $240,000. This is peanuts when you consider that the first day she took her company into the public market she took in somewhere around 500 million dollars .... so why would she risk it? She was working the stock market long before she started her catering business so she knows the ropes.
Anyhooooo, the point of my blog this evening is this ... Martha is being sentenced tomorrow and I for one will be praying tonight that she is put on probation with a fine and set free. What is the point of putting her in jail? I don't think that she will be doing time and I have put my money where my mouth is .... so hubby get ready to cough up 20 bucks!!
Have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow!
P.S. As a female who is trying to start her own business I support Martha and all that she has done to help other women in business. She has thousands of employees with the majority of them being women and I hope if you're a female and reading this ... you support her too! YAYA!!
Well, I must say that my family has teasing down to an art! I'm sure it was from the time I could speak my own name that my sister told me that I was adopted. She would often tease me to the point where I'd fall on my bed in tears while I heard her giggling in the other room. I would tell my parents (or whomever they were ....haha) and they would assure me that my big sister was just being a pain in the butt and I was, without a doubt, their daughter. This would console me until the next time they went out and my sister would start on me again. Each time she would come up with another story. One of my favourites was "how come your birth certificate is completely different from mine ... those are the ones from the orphanage!" Again I would be in tears waiting for Mom and Dad to come home and re-assure me. The horror of it all ..... :cry:
Now, to this day, my sister (that would be Magoo to you all) still teases me but now she adds that she thinks that I'm Martha Stewarts bastard child ..... (hmmm that's another blog) I have recently found proof of the torture that she puts me through. I was looking through insurance papers and I found this birthday card that she sent me a couple years ago ...... The only thing I can say to this Sis is that I know that you are only teasing ... however, it appears to be fact that you are loosing your memory for it was the third Birthday card that you sent me in one year! :roll: I love ya Sis ... my ONLY Sis!! :wink:
Are you from a family of teasers?
Have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow!
If you're lucky enough to live near the water .... you know what I mean. Here in Muskoka we are surrounded by lakes and rivers. It really is awesome and something that unfortunately we take for granted ... until you see something like this ... Isn't this simply gorgeous? I mean how can one possibly feel stressed when they have this to look out on in the evening. Normally the lake is very busy during the day but at night when all is calm ... it just takes your breath away. Enjoy!
Have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow.
This was pretty much my afternoon! I finally said to hell with housework and yard work! Time to enjoy the fruits of my labour, and that's just what I did! I floated and read a trashy book and I think I may have even slept a little. It was awesome! I hear it may rain tomorrow so I'll have plenty of time to clean and get my laundry caught up ... geesh! The life of a "domestic goddess"!
Have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow!
Oh ... for those of you who care ... the nose is healing nicely. :P
So what did ya'll do this weekend? Me, I bought a new vehicle on Friday afternoon. It's awesome. So I've been doing alot of driving around, breaking it in so to speak. :wink:
Today was an adventure. Have you ever had one of those ideas that you thought was really brilliant? I have several of them .... mostly on a daily basis! :lol: This however, was one of my better ideas. I've been saying for months now that I would like a little diamond stud in my nose .... I think they look pretty. My sister-in-law Julie, said she thought she would like one too. So guess what we did today after a little shopping .... (my phone's ringing ..... is that you calling already to yell at me Magoo? :P ) It was one of those ... "ok, well lets just go in the place and see how much it is and inquire how they do it ...." So we go in and my niece Caitlin is with us for moral support. We talk to the guy and I'm about ready to leave as my heart is pounding and my plams are dripping ... when Julie pipes up and says "lets do it" and off we go upstairs. I gotta tell you ... I'm about ready to crap my pants. Caitlin kept saying ..."I can't believe she's doing this ... now you have to Aunt Brenda" Now Julie is done and sitting up and I see tears in her eyes. I ask her if it hurt and she says "oh no, it's just like when you pull a nose hair or tweeze your eyebrows, it makes your eyes water". I'm still not feeling too good about this and I'm about ready to peel down the stairs. The fellow looks at me and smiles ... "your next". OMG I'm starting to panic a little but I get up on the table. I ask Caitlin where her Mom went and she says that she is just in the hallway looking in the mirror. hmmmm Ok. So I get all sterilized up and out comes the needle and OH MY FRIGGIN GOD ..... THE PAIN!!!!! It was over in a nano second and when it was, I was nearly in tears and simply said "wow that really hurt" Then I hear it from out in the hallway ...."HURTS LIKE A BASTARD DOESN'T IT!!!" It was Julie ... she said she just didn't want to see me until it was over cause she knew that if she told me it hurt that I would chicken out .... and I would have.
We finally get out to my vehicle and get buckled in and Julie says "Ok, that's it for me. I'm not falling for anymore of your stupid ideas" :lol: That cracked us all up which wasn't a good idea cause we weren't supposed to flair our nostrils for a while ... and besides it hurt like hell.
Hmmm I wonder what I can come up with for next Saturday as we are going on another boat cruise. This one is a long evening cruise and Pat and Juile will be with us. I'm sure that after a few drinks, I'll come up with something. :wink:
Have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow!
Well not much for blogging tonight but thought I should do a quick post. I have been around making comments and I have found that I have been rather longwinded .... not unusual for me ... (Quiet Sis!!) :lol: We have managed to get Casey, our youngest out of the house for a couple of nights. he is off to a friends until Saturday (they are returning the favour as the friend was here a couple of days ... yes I made my third trip to the drive-in in one week!) So now we just have to get our oldest Cody, out of the house. I believe that he is going to see the fireworks with friends so with any luck .... the hubby and I can make a few of our own! WOO_HOO!!! :wink:
Have a great evening everyone and an even better tomorrow!
