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. 

Big Toe Boo Boo

So Monday the neighbor kids came over to get some ice for their house.  I was pouring the ice out of the maker into the bowl. Can you tell where this is going? One piece of ice escaped the bowl and landed right on my big toe. It caused the toe to split open.  Big toes sure can bleed.  Now the toe is just bruised and looks really bad. I am going to have to get some paint on it to distract from the bruising.  Note to self... watch out for falling ice.....

Rock Jocks are among us

Well, hubby and I spent the majority of the day at the local VA.  We are waiting to see if he has stones or not.  He is presenting the classic symptoms of kidney stones but according to the doc he needed a ct scan.  Hubby wanted to know what kind of cat they were going to hold over him and wave it around.  When he finished it he told me it was a Persian..... (because it purred).  I have a funny husband.  So we will await the results to find out the treatment options open to us.  Tomorrow is the day for information.  Rock and Roll!!!

Riding Mower

Guess who has a riding mower?  If you guessed us you were absolutely correct!!! Hubby has already mowed the front yard and the neighbors too!  He did that to say thanks for giving us their mower that they didn't want. It needed lots of work but for us it was definitely worth getting it fixed.  We spent $340.00 and it costs $1200.00 new.  My kind of savings.  Now we can mow circles or our names or anything that we want in our yard.  Lil sis gave me the idea....  Hubby was so cute to watch, he had the biggest grin on his face. I'd say he is a happy camper.  I am too because it wasn't me doing the mowing....

New Do

I went to the salon today!!! Yahoo.  I got highlights and a cut.  The stylist also gave me a deep condition so it is nice and shiny.... The length is about at my shoulders. Perfect to wear up and short enough for the summer months. Since it is already in the 90's I figure it was needed to start the summer with shorter hair.  It even makes me look younger. I covered the grey with the highlights. The stylist just let me know that the grey was natural highlights.  I guess I was more natural before I sat in the chair.  Lets just say I am a happy camper!!!!

Butterfly Wisperer

That's right folks.... my man has a butterfly on his finger.  I really think it is a moth but who cares. I was so surprised that it landed on him that I had him hold still while I ran back into the house to get the camera to take this picture.  His hand looks huge but that's what happens when you don't have a professional take the picture.  Happy Landings!!!!

Dying Iris

I have figured out why the Iris are dying. I thought it might be the type of dirt or ants or something crazy like that. Nope... it is Buggs. I happened to spy him out by the Iris this morning.  Then after he finished his morning nosh I proceeded to go take a peek at the Iris.  Yep I noticed some teeth marks on the iris bulbs.  I don't think they can come back from that. Oh Well. Buggs brings me great joy so I can lose a few plants. Mom wanted to know if he asked for a tomato plant.  Last year I only got 3 little tomatoes from my plant because I couldn't keep Buggs and friends from the plant. I watched them knock the plant over to get around the netting I had on it so I could possibly get a tomato.  We have smart bunnies in our parts of the woods.
