Friendship

Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, But never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series ofpromisesthat actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy littlesmiley faceson this card- Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.
1. When you are sad -- I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on mountain dew.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.
4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much Worse it could be until you quit whining.
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay away from me until you are well... I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy butt.
9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. '
Why?' you may ask; 'because you are my friend'. Friendship is like peeing in your pants, everyone can see it,But only you can feel the true warmth...

Blog Challenge.

hi bloggers.. your challenge today is journaling!!

do you think you do enough of it? does it always relate to the story?



Do I do enough journaling? In one word - No. If you have looked through my scrapbooks that is the one thing missing on 90% of them. I hate to journal. I hate the way I write. I have problems completing some thoughts. I know you are thinking - Man she writes enough on here. It should not be a problem. Well on paper this is no Spell check. I am constantly spelling things wrong or they are slanted. I always me mistakes in my writing. So it is easier to put it off.



Ok now a Book Store vent. I live with 2 miles of a Books-a-million. I am so frustrated with the store. They do not have the new releases when they are released. I had to have them order me one and it took so long to get it. I went up to the Viera store and got it and it still took a total of 6wks for them to get it in. So I went there Friday night to look for the new Vampire diaries #5 Coffin Club. Nada. Nope.. This was released on July first. So here is my dilemma. I have pre-purchased Breaking Dawn, which it is to be released at midnight on August 2nd. Will they have it???? We will see.

Sod and a little more..

As you see in the previous entry - I put down sod. I am short about 6 to 8 pieces. So yesterday afternoon I ran back up to Home Depot to pick up some more. They were completely out. The pallet and 1/2 was gone. I knew I should have got in my car and got some more before I rested. But my hard head I did not listen to it. So I asked mom to call Home Depot. They do not get sod deliveries daily. They only get it on Tuesday & Friday. So I decide that I we can run up to New Horizons Nursery. But first we must have breakfast. We stop at the Bagel place. Then headed on over the New Horizons nursery. They like everyone else is out of sod. We explained our problem. Justin says he has some pieces of sod that we can have if they are still good. We head tot he there second lot. He says it is dry and probably will not take. So we tell him that we are going to stroll around. It is a nursery that I pass on a daily basis and have always wanted to stop at. We are walking around and they have a lemur cage with two lemurs in it. Wandering further around and there are 2 ducks. We bought some flowers to put in the planter out front. Then it was a lazy day around the house. Later in the afternoon I decide to run to the Scrapbook Cottage. Elizabeth sent out an email with a 40% off coupon to be used today only. So I have been wanting and craving the Japan country kit. I have been watching them on eBay. But this is my chance to get them. So while mom is out and about I sneak up there. She says I spend too much on my scrapbooking. I did some very hard work yesterday and I needed a little treat. I am not empressed with this months Quickutz release so I will not be spending my money on them. I have cut back a lot because I have not been babysitting as much as I use to. Yeah this recession is even hitting the babysitters of the world. I use to manage 3 families and was out most weekend nights and several nights a week. Now I am lucky to work 4 nights a week. I worked Thursday night and I made enough to fill the car up. So Thurdays we got paid and I have $40 left. Hopefully the birthday money will be coming in soon. The sod may have to wait until next weekend. We will see.

Blog Challenge and 4th of July plans..

My 4th of July plans are a little strange. I am tearing up a dead spot in the front yard. Yep me. So I start cutting the grass with the shovel. When my Stampin' Up Rep (She is the Greatest) pulled up to drop off some punches I purchased. She says they have a thing called the Garden Claw that will help with stirring up the dead grass.
This is the dead spot before I get the garden claw. It usually runs $20 she says. So I said what the heck. Jump in the SUV and drive out to Home Depot. I am lucky because I have one about 5mins from the house. Of course who does not wander around the store. I get 2 bags of soil that is to help with Grass plugs, sod and seeding and such. Then we head to the area where the shovels and stuff are. I find one and it costs $19.99. I am like fine. Walk a little further and find one for $14.99. Get that.. Then pick up a few other things like a Grill brush and new soap dish for the shower. Head back to the garden center and check out. 20 pieces of Sod I want. So $75 dollars later. I pull the Rav4 up and load the 20 pieces of sod into the back. I am getting into the Rav4 and look up and see this beautiful Rainbow in the sky. It is not raining. It is bright an beautiful. Of course I did not have my camera. So I praying that is would not disappear before I go home. Here are some photos I was able to catch. It was a lot brighter at Home Depot and on the ride home.














So here is my little Rav4 loaded with the sod. Then my little helpers jump up and check it out.















I got the are turned then dumped the 2 bags of dirt. I level it out as best as I could. I have a rake somewhere but of course it is hiding because it is suppose to do work. I start laying the sod. I thought 20 pieces would be enough. I was wrong. I have to go back to Home Depot and get about 6 more pieces to finish it out. I must say I am too dang tired at this moment to move. I must say that for a girl I did a pretty good job. I did it from start to finish in 3hrs.













This last picture is mom feeding I.V. Grace some Watermelon. She is my Dare Devil. She will try most things we give her that is food related. She will even eat Bananas. She is making a face because it is cold.

Blog Challenge

For our challenge today... Share with us your favorite quote relating to creativity. I don't really have a quote.. I think we should encourage creativity in children. Whether it be through stories, games, toys or crafts. Creativity has made this world what it is. Where would we be is Bell did not create the phone. Well we would not have to hear from those solicitors at dinner time. Instead of buying that electronic game buy some art supplies and see what develops. Pull out your craft punches and scissor and give those kids some paper and let them at it. Write down those stories your children make up for you. Did you know that M. Knight Shyamalan.

Children's book
Shyamalan, who credits the development of the movie to a bedtime story he
told his children about what happens in their pool at night, wrote the 72-page
children's book Lady in the Water: A Bedtime Story (Little, Brown, New York, ISBN
0-316-01734-5) to coincide with the movie. The book's illustrations were
done by Crash McCreery. It was released on the same day as the film, on July 21,
2006.

See what a little bedtime stories for his kids led him.. To the big screen.

I accidently posted this on one of my other blogs.. Oops.. See why you should not blog and watch TV at the same time.

What scrapping supplies can you not live without and why?

1.) My Quickutz Revolution & Dies.. I love all the little dies. The way you can customize your dies to your scrapbook page.
2.) My Tombow Mono Adhesive glues.. The green topped liquid and their dry adhesive. Love them. They are easy to use and holds.

Last night I finished my recipe page for the Quickutz club swap. I only have to stamp my name on the back of the page.

You know you work too much when it is a short week, it is wednesday and you already have over 28 hrs. I actually woke up this morning thinking it was thursday. Yep that is how much I want this week to be over. It is wednesday and I have one more day to go then I can sleep late on Friday.. :)

A little of this and little of that..

Today Florida finally put to death child rapist/murderer Mark Dean Swabb. 17 years ago he befriended 11 y/o Junny Rio Martinez. He later kidnapped him, tied him up, raped him, murdered him and dumped him off. I must say it is about damn time. Next we have do knock William Cruz off for gunning down 6 people and injuring many others.

Next --- What is for dinner.. I am not in the mood to cook. I am think I am going to fix waffles. What I really want is Bourbon Chicken Rice bowl from Asian Too. OOOoooo that is sooo good.

Well I must go and try and find something to eat.. I am so hungry that My head is starting to hurt.

Oh I forgot. Last night I submitted one of the photos below to one of the local news channels and they put it on the news. They have this thing where views can submit news photos. "See it, snap it and send it".. Yeah. I have not heard about the photography contest at the local photoshop. I will just keep waiting to see..
