Finally a picture...

With terrible light. I'll have to say sorry to my sister who takes great pictures. But ya know, it is was it is. I wasn't going to post anything today, mostly because I'm lazy but then I checked my comments and saw that Kim had posted. She's the only person I'm not related to that reads my blog! Thanks Kim. It always makes me happy when she leaves comments. Like I'm special or something! So here's the picture. These are my owls and my mummy. The picture really is terrible.. But oh well! I'm over it.

In other news, I woke up this morning to SNOW. Like a couple of inches of snow. I'll put it in perspective for you, 2 weeks ago it was 70's. It snowed until about 11am and then it all melted. Tonight it's raining.... free car wash. Tomorrow is supposed to be 51 degrees out. Who knows what's going to happen. I've decided that in the midwest, you get what you get and no matter what people are going to bitch about it.
Something else that became apparent to me, my nephew, my little sweetheart is going to be 5! This really hit me when I was loading pictures from my Mom's camera, she has some from a few years ago. And some of them were great pictures and he looked so different, long hair and a round little face. He's done alot of growing in 5 years and I can hardly believe it. I can't really imagine how my sister feels about it.. Maybe it's different when you don't live with him and see him ALL the time..Maybe the time moves slower.. There was a time when I spent alot of my time with him and I loved every minute of it! That's all I'm writing on that because it's going to make me cry....
I guess I don't have anything else. Maybe tomorrow I'll have something more interesting. Other than the owls :)

So you wanna see my....

Cucumbers?? Well if you don't, too damn bad. And if you do, here ya go!



They are so weird because it's like they grow from the stem out.. Like those balloons that they make animals out of. When they blow them up and they fill with air from the bottom to the top. As shown better in the 2nd picture. But I have a bunch of them and I'm excited.
This weekend was really, REALLY nice. The weather was what I would call "quit your job and stay home" nice. It was sunny with a cool breeze.. We had a party for my Mom because it's her birthday TODAY! Happy Birthday Mom!!! Well I guess that's all I have for today. Have a great one!

On being an adult..

4 Reasons I'd rather be a kid..
* having to get up early and not even taking a shower!
* Trying to go to bed early so that I can get up early (good luck)
* Having to get up that early to go to work (yuck)
* having to go to work when I don't get up early..

4 Reasons I like being an adult
* My nephew
* Having my own car and being able to go where ever I want when I want
* Having my own money- not having to ask anyone for $$ to do stuff..
* My B/F

These are just partial lists - And I don't think that being an adult sucks or that being a kid is really all that great but I just think about all the things I did when I was a kid.. Like playing in the hot steamy ass weather. I can barely go near the door some days let alone go out and run around all day.. Summer was great as a kid- summer as an adult.. just the same except HOT! There is no order to the lists either..
Well, today is also my birthday- and I feel like I haven't slept in 2 days so I'm in a salty mood and it's hot. It's just a bunch of things that individually I don't really care about but piled on each other and I just want to go home. I had to take a nap at my desk at 8:00am... It did make me feel better though. So Happy Birthday to anyone else who's birthday is today. I'll have some pictures to post later on this week..

Just another Monday!

And that it is.. Back to the same old-same old! Oh well. So, this weekend was pretty good. I didn't do to much but the weather was nice. Saturday was supposed to be rainy all day but it ended up being sunny and nice. Then yesterday was Owen's birthday party ( his birthday is today though, he's 2!) But the weather was nice and the sun was out. Got to play a little hockey in the street..
Over the weekend, I was working on a shirt for Owen and as I was sitting there painting it, I was thinking to myself "Why don't I do this more often?". And it made me think about all the time we spend doing things, some things that we have/need to do like going to work. And we spend time doing the things we want to do, but how come during the free time we don't always do things that we actually love to do? Things that bring us peace and relaxation? I really enjoy painting and putzing with it, and drawing the patterns and cutting it out and, even though I complain, making it straight. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that I spend time doing things I hate, because that's not it at all. I spend my free time doing things I like to do. But there are just those things that are fun and just give you a good feeling. I guess it's kind of hard to describe..I guess you'd have to have some of those things to see that there is a difference.
I should make more time for that stuff.. Instead of watching TV or something..
So, I've just been watching hockey lately, and some baseball. I've never really had so much of an interest to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs but this yeah I've been watching them. Last night's game between Dallas and San Jose went 4OT. That's 2 and 1/3 games... 8 periods of hockey.. I didn't stay up for that one.. Dallas won, but I wanted San Jose to win.. Oh well..
Well, I guess that's all I have for today. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
