The Rules of Chocolate

1.If you have got melted chocolate all over your hands, you are eating it too slowly!
2.Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, oranges, and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want, they are good for you!
3.When you have a problem, getting two pounds of chocolate home from the store in your hot car, just eat it in the parking lot instead!
4.For dieters - eat a chocolate bar before each meal, it will spoil your appetite.
5.A box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy!
6.If you can not eat all of your chocolate, there is something wrong with you!
7.If you eat equal amounts of white and dark chocolate, you have a balanced diet.
8.Chocolate contains many preservatives. Preservatives make you look young.
9.If you ever wondered why there is no such thing as Choco - holics Anonymous, it is because no one wants to quit eating it, ever!
10.If there was no chocolate, there would be no need for control-top pantyhose. An entire industry would be devastated.
11.If you put "Eat Chocolate" on your daily list of things to do, you will always accomplish one thing you set out to do, everyday.
12.Calories are afraid of heights. If you store your chocolates on top of the fridge or high shelf, the calories will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

It's Monday Already?

Sunday was another full day for us. We got everything settled and ready for the new horse (and yes, I'll take pics), but the hubs has decided to wait until he comes home next trip to pick him up. So...photos next time. He is also still considering getting two horses.

He smoked a brisket today that was just amazing and I have awesome leftovers for the week!
It's been snowing off and on all day, and supposedly supposed to get up to 6 inches in the next two days...we will see!
We just got alot of "house" chores done and outside jobs caught up.
We also watched The Dukes of Hazzard tonight--pretty funny :)

I got an email today that my camera already shipped! Yay for me!! :)

I also decided today that I have GOT to start doing Yoga again. I used to do it almost every morning before I started blogging and then it was history. So I made the decision today to start again.
I've also been looking into the Shaklee products from Pam. I've also been slacking in the healthy foods/vitamin department.
I don't eat as many fruits and vegetables as I should, and rarely remember to take my vitamins, which is another thing I used to be so good about.

I think this blogging has been bad for my health!!
But, good for my mental health, so I guess I break even:)

Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt

Sensual and gorgeous, you would inspire an enchanting portrait.. With just enough classic appeal to be hung in any museum!

What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

Remodel

I tried again, using a little more imagination and color, and included myself. I still got the same results. Hmmph.

Draw-A-House :)

THIS is pretty cool! Go check it out! This is the house I drew . Yes, I see I colored out of the lines, it's not as easy as it looks!! My description is below: (doesn't completely match my personality, but I think I'm going to try again. This was definitely a tester-house:)



Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:

You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others . You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

Wrap-Up

I ordered this today! I'm beyond excited! Of course It won't get here soon enough....

Today seems like a blur, it seems like we did everything we needed to do in ONE day and we aren't even done yet.

We decided to pick up the new horse tomorrow, since the snow was just insane today and we were just getting soaked putting up the seperate pen for him.

I finally got the hubs to put a light up in the barn, so I shouldn't have any more problems in that area. It even has a motion sensor so it knows when I'm coming :)

I'm now finally settling down and back on my computer and everyone's gone!! And it's Saturday night! Wait... that makes sense actually.

The hubs has promised to go find Heineken tomorrow, what a sweetie :) So for now I've been drinking Killians Red, which isn't a bad beer, but not what I want. Spoiled, I guess. We watched The Blue Collar Tour tonight, I can watch this over and over again and still enjoy it. I would love to see this show LIVE!

Tomorrow will be another full day--picking up the new horse, hubs has a surgery to do in a neighboring town which he seems to think I have to assist. He will be smoking brisket and turkey for me to eat on while he's gone, he will split enough wood so I don't have to worry about that, and we shopped for everything else today.

Today was good day :) How was your day??

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

I've actually been away from my computer all morning...my keyboard is probably in shock.

We did the big trip to the city for supplies, etc. We got alot of snow last night, so the roads weren't too great and it took us much longer than usual.
There are some great photos waiting for me out there, as soon as I get done here.

We're also getting our new horse today, so have been working on a seperate pen to put her in for a few days. My feet and hands are now a bit frozen, which makes for really bad typing:)

Do ya'll remember the new garden I put in this year?? The little rock garden that I dug up by hand and planted all new perennials in??
We had a replacement snow-plow guy this morning and he plowed right over it:(
Totally tore it up. I wanted to cry. I probably will when I see it without a foot of snow on top of it all:(

Oh and to top it all off, the store was out of Heineken. Uggh.
And I could use one right now too.

Southernisms

1.) Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption, and that you don't "HAVE" them, --you "PITCH" them.

2.) Only a true Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens,peas, beans, etc. make up "a mess."

3.) Only a true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder."

4.) Only a true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back directly."

5.) All true Southerners, even babies, know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl on the middle of the table.

6.) All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is.They might not use the term, but they know the concept well.

7.) Only a true Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!)

8.) Only true Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.

9.) Only a true Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash.

10.) No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.

11.) A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb.

12.) Only a true Southerner knows that the term "booger" can be a resident of the nose, a descriptive, as in "that ol' booger," a first name or something that jumps out at you in the dark and scares you senseless.

13.) Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We don't do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're "in line," we talk to everybody!

14.) Put 100 true Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage.

15.) True Southerners never refer to one person as "y'all."

16.) True Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them.

17.) Every true Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that redeye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food.

18.) When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin' .. ," you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner!

19.) Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk.

20.) And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way.

Dog For Sale--Cheap

Warning: Venting Ahead



This dog is in SO much trouble. I seriously wanted to kill him yesterday. Which, ya'll know, is alot for me.
We have a small fenced in yard which I mainly use to let the dogs out. Most people around here just let their dogs run loose, including hubs.

I don't agree with this for many reasons, but the main one is because I worry with the wildlife we have around here, mainly mountain lions and coyotes.

This BAD dog keeps finding ways out of the yard. No matter what we try. The next thing is a 6ft fence I think. Or, tie him down...(evil laugh here)
He got out yesterday morning and began his day long adventure. He thinks this is so fun, that he will not come when you call him. So, I had to just leave him out there all day. He pulled all kinds of things out of the garage and left them all over the yard.
He played in the horse pen, so he is now dirty and stinky.
He chased off the deer all day, and ate all the cat food.
Oh and he barked ALL day.

Actually thinking back, it was probably best I didn't catch him. Maybe he knew this?

I eventually got him in. It was very late, or early I guess, very dark and very cold.
Very very aggravating day.
The stake and tie are already in the ground.
He won't get away again :)

Way Back Wednesday

The theme for WBW this week is "sick". Even though I don't have any pics of me actually sick, this is the closest I could come up with.

Four girlfriends and I jumped into a minivan and went to Daytona Beach for spring break. We had a condo (courtesy of our boss) right on the beach.
We got up every morning and spent the day on the beach.
Every night, we hit the clubs. I don't think I've ever drank so much or been so hungover, ever. BUT, I still hit the beach the next morning! I'm sure I slept most of that time lying in the sun.
I don't remember most of the clubbing nights, but I KNOW I had fun. There is proof in the pictures, sadly enough :) In this pic above, I was very sunburned and very very hungover. I didn't even want to smile because I was afraid to open my mouth. And of course, everyone was taking pics of this lovely day. Just the smell of that mustard in front of me made me want to hurl.
Of course as any of you know, if you have friends like this, they will not let you wallow in pity and sleep all day.
It's probably one of the best times I've ever had. The most tan I've ever been.
The most I've ever drunk in one week, and the most times I swear the dance floor was moving underneath me. It was great :)
&
I still think it was a moving dance floor.

Night Moves

Have you ever felt like your night went on and on an on? Even when you actually slept?
I feel like my brain never went to sleep. Well, I guess it didn't, but you know what I mean.

I have found lately (and this might be age--uggh) that if I go to bed around 2 and sleep hard until about 6, I feel great...well rested. But, if I tried to go to bed around 11 or 12, and get up around 6 or 7, then I feel sluggish and don't sleep well. Weird.

I never have required alot of sleep. I guess some of this comes from working night jobs, even though I haven't worked in years. My body and mind have always just worked better during the evenings than mornings.

I need noise to sleep. Something. Anything. I can't sleep in complete silence. I then hear everything happening, or think way.too.much. A fan is perfect for me. A TV playing even better. I also have a sleep machine which I usually use when traveling. I love the sounds of a storm on it. We don't get thunder storms here like we did in Texas, so it's kind of cool to hear one from the machine.

Thank goodness most of my chatter friends are up late at night, or I would definitely be bored. Unfortunately most of you are on a later time zone than me and don't last as long. The hubs laughs at this chatting "biz" he calls it. He will see me talking to a few people at once and just laughs. I could never do this on the phone, he says :) My typing skills sure have come in handy too. Since he doesn't really get into the whole blogging or chatting thing, he just laughs at me. But he actually never complains since he knows that this is my entertainment when he's not home.

I do have one chatting friend, and she knows who she is, who's IM ping is a woman laughing. It absolutely drives hubs nuts and he makes me turn the volume down. He says he feels like the computer is laughing at him.

Hmm...maybe it is. He is pretty goofy:)

Bumz

It was a pretty uneventful weekend here. Hubs was home, and now already gone. We keep getting snow, but nothing really substantial after that first big fall.

We had neighbors stop by twice this weekend, so we built bonfires and hung outside. I found out that my hair will dry curly if I hang outside when it's below thirty. Good to know:)

The dogs had a blast and Brock kept running across the frozen pond. That pond scares me of course, I'm just waiting for something to fall through. You know, of course, that will be when hubs it out of town.

I pretty much got nothing accomplished this weekend, but that's okay right? I didn't even take any pictures really, except for the snowfall which you've seen. Since the hubs is only home 2 days a week now, I tend to turn into a bum while he's home.
We are getting one more horse, not two as had been discussed. He's decided we need to build onto the barn and add stalls if we get anymore.
I had been wanting a Westie for quite awhile now, since Andy died, but I just can't decide if I want to add ONE.MORE.ANIMAL to this herd. I don't think I want to potty train another dog.

I do have to get out today and go to the post office. My truck will probably be in shock.

Bored?

Hello :)

Go HERE and find out the number one song on the day you were born.

MIne: Hello, I Love You--by The Doors. :)

Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello, hello, hello,
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, hello, hello, hello

Lazy Saturday

*We got a pretty good amount of snow as you can see. We fed the deer under the trees so they wouldn't be buried.

*The sun is actually out a little this morning which makes everything so pretty. I need to get out with my camera.

*I have my PC back today, yay. It's so nice to have my big screen and wireless keyboard back :)

*I'll be shipping off the Canon 20D soon to the new owner...I'm way too excited about getting the 5D...ya'll just don't know. I also have this new lens called a LensBaby that I have yet to play with. This will be my new goal. It looks like it can take some pretty fun pics.

I don't have much else planned today. The hubs is home, so I for ONCE don't have to do the shoveling.

All is good :)

Wrap Up

I've been stuck on my laptop all day. My PC is having problems and being looked at. :(
I shouldn't complain really since I'm lucky enough to have a backup, but this laptop doesn't have many programs on it, and none of my photos. I can't even get onto some of my messengers. Uggh.

I've got a buyer for my Canon 20D, I'm very excited about that :)
These little hands might be holding a 5D one day soon!! I've actually made some money off of some of my photos and then add the sale price for the 20D, and it's not too bad a difference.
Happy Dance:)

I haven't taken many photos lately, the weather has just been so unpredictable and I've barely seen the sun in a month. The animals have learned what the camera is and some even run from me. I seriously need a vacation. I went out today to attempt to take pics of our frozen pond, but the snow was so wet and heavy I didn't want to get my camera that wet.

My lights died in the barn again tonight. I'm once again feeding horses by flashlight. This annoys me, I should have added it to my 13 list. It's snowing tonight, this makes me happy. There's something about watching the flakes fall against the outside lights. It's almost hypnotizing if you stare at them long enough.

Critter has decided that he likes to push around the dogs big water bowl. Yeah, this is real cute (sarcasm here). I have a very large bowl, if ya'll have seen Brock you would understand, and Critter pushes his toys underneath it. He then spends the day pushing this bowl around the house to get the toy. Wet floors, wet cat and wet yucky toys. Did I say he was cute?
He even pushed it down the stairs today. Yep, that was real cute too.

Do you guys know what a civil emergency is? I didn't. Not until today.
I have this Weatherbug on my computer that tells me the weather and alerts me of severe weather, etc. Recently it popped up a civil emergency. I ignored it. eeeks.
I found out today it means someone escaped from a prison and is loose. Ohhhh, niiiiice.
On top of that, I had someone come to my door today telling me that they had an "escapee" from one of the schools for troubled teens around here. Oh yay. (sarcasm again).

Ahhh, but tomorrows another day.
I won't have my computer back:(
But it's going to keep snowing:)
And I'm determined to take some photos.

Anyone want a silly wet cat?

Thinking Too Late

I'm sitting here as usual in the middle of the night, in bed, laptop in my lap, and watching TV. For some reason, delirium maybe, I'm really paying attention to the commercials.....

*How many people actually dance around when they drink a coke?
Or when they are eating a powerbar? Or chocolate?? I am a huge lover of chocolate, but I don't dance around when I eat it.
*And how do they get the girls hair on the pantene commercials to look that good? I use expensive shampoo and my hair never looks that good. And yes, I have used pantene...it still didn't look like it was made of silk.
*Which made me recall that STUPID commercial with the Hallmark snowman that plays the piano. Yes, he's cute...but I so hated that all are gathered around him at a party singing and laughing at him, and clapping, and then wanting him to play again! Give me a break.
*Or how about the M&M's and the chocolate bar that are laying by the fire in the log cabin, that wind up melting and becoming one....geesh.
*I won't even start with the hemmoroid commercials. (I'm sure this will get me some good hits)
*Do any of YOU dance around the house with the Swiffer?? I really want to know :)
*Did you know there are baked cheetos??? This is the first I've heard of this.
Must.check.into.that.

Okay enough with the commercials.
It's snowing again tonight. It never got over 35 today.
Yum, they are eating chocolate cake on Roseanne...they aren't dancing around though.
Chocolate cake sounds really good right now.
I've got nothing else.

Now I need to go have a red bull and fly away.
You know, because it gives you wings :)

5 Random Facts

I've been tagged with 5 Random Facts by Mel :)

I think I've done this before, but don't feel like searching to find out. So, here's 5 random facts about me:

1. I hate wrinkles. I will even iron my pillowcases if they are wrinkled. I can't wear wrinkled clothes at all, even if I'm home all day and no one sees me.
2. I'm the same about matching. Even if I'm home and nobody sees me, I still have to match.
3. I usually eat my food one item at a time, like If I have meat and veggie, I will eat the veggie first then the meat, not alternately or together.
4. I very rarely use a glass for my drinks. I drink cokes out of a can and beer/water out of bottles. I never drink beer out of a glass or mug.
5. I can't sleep without some kind of noise going on. I need a fan definitely, and then either the TV or a sleep machine. If none of these are available, I will hear everything and I can't sleep. I definitely can't sleep with complete silence.

**Maybe those should have been weird facts and not random...hmmmmmmm
***Now I'm working on another tag from Shephard :)

Never A Dull Moment

With all the rain we've had lately, our little area had a mudslide today. Actually two houses away. My pictures don't even do it justice but it was pretty wild. Two very large trees just fell and slid down a hill, landing pretty close to our neighbors house. The pic of that tall tree you see, that tree is cracked and ready to go too. The scary thing is this tree could possible hit their house.

We went over this afternoon to see if there was any way of helping in taking care of the tree before it decides to fall, but the ground is so unstable all we could do was sit there an stare at it. It is still raining tonight and more rain due tomorrow. Uggh. Scary.

Luckily we are up high, so if anything slides it should be below us.
Hopefully.

Camo For Me

And you thought IT only came in white :)

To Remember Me

*I was talking to the hubs about the subject below.
He recommended I look into it and make my wishes known.
I thought what better way then to have it right here!
Now you all will know what I want.* :)

Remember Me

At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has
ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my
life has stopped.

When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life
into my body by the use of a machine. And don't call this my
deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body
be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

*Give my sight to the man who has never seen a
sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a
woman.
*Give my heart to a person whose own heart has
caused nothing but endless days of pain.
*Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled
from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live
to see his grandchildren play.
*Give my kidneys to one who depends on a
machine to exist from week to week.
*Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and
nerve in my body and find a way to make a
crippled child walk.
*Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if
necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a
speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat
and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against
her window.
*Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to
the winds to help the flowers grow.
*If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my
weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow
man.
*Give my sins to the devil.
*Give my soul to God.
*If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with
a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.
If you do all I have asked, I will live forever:)
