Birthday

So hubby came home at the stroke of midnight to ensure he was the first to wish me a Happy Birthday.  He sang and gave me a card and a gift. What a wonderful man... we stayed up till 2 and just talked and snuggled. It was so nice. I then got up around 10 to open the rest of my loot.  I got several cards and gifts from family and friends.  How nice to know all of these people thought of me. So I got to go to dinner with the neighbor wives. We stayed out late for us and had an all around great time.  Can't beat the bday!!! Hope everyone is as happy as I.

It's Alive!!!

Yep, you heard me.... the Jeep is alive!!! Mr. N fixed it and brought it to the house. How's that for service? It was $228.00 parts and labor. Not bad if I do say so myself.  White cake with icing and sprinkles is the way to get your car delivered from your mechanic.  I hope he never retires. He is in his 60's.  AACCKK.  I am thankful that he has a daughter that is 8. So he will potentially work for a few more years. Hopefully, this is the last year for the Jeep at our house. Then I will only visit Mr. N just to say hi and not to get my car fixed.  Happy driving......

Dead Jeep

So hubby decided to take the Jeep to an appointment before work. Not the smartest idea when you know the vehicle is not always reliable.  I get a phone call stating. You need to come get me. I was just getting ready to go to town so it was good timing on his part so to speak.  I promptly drove to his location and exchanged cars with him.  He left for work and I waited on the tow truck. I thought that my nephew would have liked the ride in the tow truck.  It was a short 6 mile ride to the mechanic.  Mr. N thinks he will get it fixed in the next two days so not long with out my wheels.  Mr. N thought we had moved since we hadn't dropped the jeep off in awhile.  I laughed and told him it was only time before we were back..... Gonna bake a cake tonight to take to him tomorrow. Baked good are a sure fire way to get the jeep fixed quicker. A new ignition here we come,  Start your engines!!!! 

Weight Loss

I have apparently lost some weight according to hubby.  I then corrected him in his assumption and he then replied that he knew what he was talking about.  So I asked "why do you think I have lost some weight"?  He said "I don't want to hurt your feelings".   At this point I should have had the presence of mind to just take it at face value that he thought I lost some weight.  Nope I had to know what made him think that.  So he said " your back fat is less."  Here's to less back fat in your life....

Crack in a Can

Walmart has a grape soda called Grapette.  It is made from the formula NU Grape.  How "grape" is that?  Hubby and I call it crack in a can.  We love it and it is not as expensive as the other grape sodas. I have to limit myself to one every other day.  I SO could drink the whole 12 cans in one day if I didn't limit the intake. Hence the term the crack in a can. 

After the mow

So hubby and I mowed the acre of land this weekend.  It only took 3 hours to mow, weed eat, edge and blow off the sidewalk.  It usually takes me 4 and 1/2 hours just to mow.  I digress... I kept waiting to see Buggs and friends. No such luck. I guess the bunnies really like the tall grass. Not for eating but for hiding and playing in.  Oh they can play.  They play run around the tree. It is kinda like tag.  It took two days before they bunnies came back, thankfully, the bird seed was the lure.  We even got some sunflower seeds to entice them.  I saw Buggs this morning noshing on the sunflower seeds at the bright and early time of 6:30.   So all is right in the world... we still have bunnies!!!!

No need to nag

A conversation between my neighbor and myself....  My neighbor got a post update on face book from one of her friends. It stated that after asking her husband to fix the air conditioner for a few days (nothing being done about the broken air conditioner). She decided to scrub the floor while naked.  It appears that the way to get the air conditioner fixed at her house is to have all her jiggly bits hanging out.  Her husband promptly got it fixed that same day.  Note to self don't nag just get naked!!!

I spy

While driving home from our trip, we had to drive through Louisiana.  Well what do my wondering eyes see? A gator of course.  It was road kill.  Kinda like a deer in Arkansas, or an armadillo in Texas. Hubby asked if it had a tag in it's tail so someone could take it to the buyer and make a little money off it.  (swamp people reference) No tag. I figured it came out of the water and decided to warm itself in the sun on the blacktop.  Nobody said the gator was smart.  Now I can honestly say I have seen all kinds of road kill and that one was the most unique. 

On Hold

I was talking with hubby when he told me about a recent conversation he had with a co-worker.  His police officer co-worker told him about being on hold with the local emergency room.  The hold music was a song called "killing me softly".  How's that for irony?  I got a big chuckle out of that. Luckily the call was a follow up not an emergency.  I guess the er is trying for some humor.  Here's to having laughter as a part of your everyday life.

Wake up call

Friday morning we arose at 3am to start getting ready for our trip.(we went to see our god daughter graduate from high school.) I told hubby that I would shower in the guest bath so we could get ready at the same time. I went to the bathroom and turned on the light like any normal person would do at that early hour.  I then about tinkled down my leg.  I spied a snake... yes I said snake, on the bath mat. The offending culprit was laying pretty as you please on the mat making himself home.  I quickly ran down the hall to get my hubby.  He then came to my rescue and killed the snake.  I stated to hubby no need for caffeine this morning. I had all the wake up I could handle.  It was a little grass snake but holy cow I sure could wake up other ways.
