Ah okay. Well, i don't know then.
it's okay
I'm hooked -- I followed your link over from Jen's (MegansMom) PTR.
Your grandmother and the bacon: too funny! I love how it has become a running joke in your family.
My daughter adores bacon -- I can promise you there is never any leftover bacon in our house, purses, pockets, etc.
Can't wait to read more!
sorry I'm lax on posting the other pictures but if you like the running joke, you will enjoy the last few pics from Florida
my Grandma apparently enjoys it too much...enough to "savor the flavor"
I'm trying to make my PRETR and TR rounds
That house is GORGEOUS! WOW! I want to live there and I would take any room that they had to offer! That dress is adorable! I have only been to Ross once and I loved it!
My kitchen is apple themed too! Gotta love the apples
thanks on the dress. I was a little unsure of it. It was only about $15 so I just HAD to get it
Ross is pretty cool huh!
wow...another appler! cool!!!!
Okay, I know you're wondering. Why am I up at 3 am you ask? Well, because every time I have to go on a trip the next day, SOMETHING seems to happen that puts me SO behind that I am up half the night trying to get my crap done. (I don't remember if I said it on this thread, but we're making a surprise visit to my MiL this weekend and leaving tomorrow after work. We're headed to The Woodland's, TX) I knew I was going to be busting my butt tonight (last minute laundry, bath/wash my hair/shave my legs, make my feet look pretty--or as good as they'll get anyhow, pack, get the dog's things together for the car, etc) and wouldn't you know it? Something just had to throw my whole plan off! When I got home, Mike's cousin was here. He had been in town for work. He had never seen our house and it's just funny that his work picked this very day for him to be in Hammond!
He didn't stay too long as he had things to do himself and had already been here for a bit, but we did all take some time to pick some blackberries that are growing wild in the trees at the back of our property. After he left, Mike and I decided we might as well scour all of it and pick what berries are left (animals such as field mice tend to get to a lot of them first
) I was enjoying that and the end result was that I got to eat blackberries. So I was okay with being behind a little bit. I knew I still had some time. Then before we walked back home Mike insisted on stopping at my cousin's around the corner. He told them we were making a few burgers. We had 4. Their son already ate dinner (pancakes...he's a picky little bugger!) Mike invited them to eat. They decided to wait a few minutes to come over because they had a couple things to do. We told them we'd call...Mike said he'd probably just bring the burgers over there way. They also had buns, so that helped us out
We headed back to the house so Mike could cook the burgers. Now, I knew I had to get to packing and turn on a load of laundry when I got back home, while he cooked. Well 2 other friends were waiting in our driveway when we showed back up. I love my friends and all, but I can't STAND unannounced visits!
(Is anyone else like me?) They are repeat offenders. And it's not the first time I've arrived home when they were already there.
I appreciate them dearly for helping with the dog and all but I just really wish they'd have called first. Now I felt like I had to entertain and I of course couldn't go in my bedroom and pack. I was able to start up a load of laundry but it didn't help matters too much, as you can see that I'm still up at 3 am. They were getting ready to leave when the burgers finished cooking, and since the other 2 burgers were already spoken for I had hoped they wouldn't linger too much. Since dinner was done, no packing done yet, no nails, no laundry in the dryer
We went back around the corner with the burgers and tater tots, ate, and I was ready to come back and badgered Mike for nearly an HOUR before he got his lazy butt up!!
Why are men so stubborn sometimes? (sorry all you men out there
but maybe you can answer that better than we woman can
) So, the verdict is, I am still waiting on another load of laundry to finish, and I have to load some jeans which will be my last load. I told Mike I'd like him to take care of putting them in the dryer when he wakes up in the morning (he's going into work after me) and he said he would, but I'm sure I'll have to be on him about it. Did I mention he NEVER does laundry? His ensured his not being required to do so one day shortly after we moved in together when he somehow turned all my whites PINK.
(I can look back & laugh about it now...It wasn't funny when it happened but I figure I have too many of these:
in this email already)
The best/worst part is---Charter turned our cable off (again) saying we didn't pay the bill!! What is with these morons? We paid it last week! Heck, half the time we get crappy service anyway so they should be giving us a month free anyhow! (that also meant No AI for me tonight. Who got voted off?)
That's my night(rant) in a nutshell. I'm hoping I can at least catch a few winks tonight. And I have to get gas in the morning on my way to work so that means up a little early. And since another guy I worked with is no longer there
(he used to push off his mistakes on me and I certainly didn't appreciate it) I need to be there on time, maybe even early, to get all my work done. I want to be out the door a little before 5 if I can swing it!
Oh and I forgot to mention, these 2 friends that made the "surprise visit" also did the same exact thing last year before our Disney trip!!! Actually, we were going down the driveway to go to Walmart to buy some last minute things we needed. Might have been 2 days before, but that's still pretty last minute shopping to me!! They came down the street, and up the driveway, blocking us in! They wanted to eat and Mike agreed despite the fact we really needed a bunch of things and had no time to do it the next day (can you guess where this is going....up til crack of dawn!) He said we should buy them dinner because they are watching the dogs. I said, don't you think that is something best done AFTER we get back? The restaurant turned out to be having a bad night and our meal took over 2 hours from start to finish!! 
I tell ya, things don't seem to go my way right before a trip. 
I think I am just realizing the pattern
Man! Whew! What a week this is turning out to be! I need this little vacation! Whoever is reading this, thanks for listening!!!
I'd say, next time tell them you're busy but you appreciate them stopping by, but it's hard when they are the ones that watch your dogs for you. I know how that is. Although, I don't get unannounced visitors. Our house seems to be out of the way for most of the people we know 
My feet remind me of Fred Flintstone's feet.
