So, yeah, it's been a pretty long time since I posted last. Him, 9/11 to be exact and then I only reposted my entries on Brendan Dolan and Douglas Ketchum.My last real post was in August stating that it sucks to be me since I was out of work again.  I, along with at least one other girl, was laid off on June 3, 2011.  I didn't get another job until Jan. 4, 2012.  Yep, that sucked big time.  But I

Brendan Dolan Age 37 Glen Rock, N.J. World Trade Center, 92nd Floor These are the basic facts that I have to go from to form a tribute to Brendan. Not much really, how do I go about building a tribute that would be fitting? I will do my best. A few more basics but at the same time such important facts: He was a loving husband to Stacey Dolan and a doting father to Sarah Danielle and Samantha

I had originally done this post two years ago and last year I only linked to it. This year I decided to redo my date to bring it up today. It's been 5 years but it seems like it just happened. I didn't know anyone that was injured let alone perished but it still affected me deeply. I remember leaving work to go get my 13" tv to bring back so we could have up to date information

So, yeah, obviously I haven't been here in awhile.  Although I have "all the time in the world" now to be able to update.  I was laid off in June.  June 3rd to be exact.  One of my coworkers and I were brought into a conference room together and were told that because the estimating department couldn't get their shit together and get us some jobs that they had to start laying people off.  Of

So I just realized I didn't do my weekend update for Memorial Day weekend.  It was pretty good over all. It was HDT's weekend to work so Friday night we didn't do much as usual.  Just hung out around the house.  Saturday while he was at work I did some grocery shopping and cleaned the house, did some dishes and a couple loads of laundry. The brothers and Scott's kids came over to watch the UFC

So this was a pretty boring weekend overall really.  Friday night after getting home from work HDT and I had a long back and forth about what we would do for dinner and whether we'd be going over to his grandma's for dinner with her and his mom.  And also to go see a movie or not.  The only movie we'd be able to make after eating would be a late one and we were both pretty tired and just didn't

So, I have to tell you what happened Sunday night.  I didn't do it in the weekend update because it was already getting long and this deserves it's own entry. It was late, going on 11pm, and I was getting ready to head to bed but then remembered the garbage, recycle and lawn clippings still needed to go out to the curb.  So I ask HDT to come help me and I step out onto the back porch and he

So let's see.  For the most part this was an uneventful weekend really.  It was his weekend to work and he didn't get his 8 hour day on Saturday since he switched so he could get out early on Tuesday when we took my mom out for Mother's Day. Friday after I got off work I debated doing the lawn.  The grass was over a foot high in some places.  Our lawnmower was in getting serviced and the company

So we took my mom out for dinner last night for a late Mother's Day get together.  The place we took her is a good 25 miles away but it's the best Chinese food we've ever had and she was wanting Chinese so it was perfect.  It was also the same place we took HDT's mom. We each had a drink with dinner and she was so damn funny afterward.  When we got outside she says something along the lines of,

So this was another busy weekend.  Friday night we decided to go see a movie and Jim came along.  We thought maybe we'd see Thor but since it was opening night it'd be packed so decided on Hanna instead.  HDT and I went to dinner at Chili's first though.  Had a good gut busting dinner and a drink or two then met Jim at the theater.  For being out for so many weeks now and never a huge hit there

So we had another pretty good weekend.  When I had gone home for lunch on Friday I hopped on the treadmill for about 12 minutes.  I had made a decision to do that every day several months ago and just haven't done it.  No excuse really since most days I'm done eating with a good 10 minutes to spare.  After I got off work I ran out to Walmart and Jewel to get a few groceries we've been needing

So I just found out that the Empire Man, Mr. Lynn Hauldren, has passed away.  He was such a huge icon in the advertising business to me.  Just like the "It's time to make the donuts" Dunkin Donuts guy, Michael Vale and original "The loneliest man in town" Maytag Repairman, Jesse White.  Although all the others were pretty good as well. When I moved to Louisiana for those six years I didn't

So, let's see, it was another busy weekend here in peanuthead land.  Friday right after I got off work I hurried and changed and then HDT and I went to our friend's home for dinner and also to go to their church's Good Friday services.  Since it would be pushing it for time we actually just had some flat bread and chatted for a little while before heading out to church.  The services were very

So HDT and I decided to go see Scream 4 last night.  HDT thought it was ok, he wasn't disappointed but wasn't thrilled with it either.  I enjoyed it.  Sure, there wasn't as much "story" as there was in the others but I still thought it played well.  Without giving anything away:  While watching a commercial one night last week I turned to HDT and said I think "that person" is Ghostface or at

So this was another fairly busy weekend even though HDiTty had to work.  Friday night we didn't do much except hang out and watch Date Night.  It was silly but it was fun, pretty enjoyable really. Saturday he had to work all day - 16 hours, from 6am to 10pm so I was going to do a Lost Season 6 marathon but then decided I better not because I really did have things that needed to be done. First

So this weekend was a movie weekend, no doubt about it.  Friday evening after I got off work we were going to go and return a pair of jeans that didn't quite fit HDT, have some dinner and see a movie, probably Hanna but possibly Your Highness.  But after looking at the receipt and seeing that we have 60 days to return them and I mentioned maybe seeing matinees the next day to save some money we

So HDT and I got Chinese for dinner one night last week and I completely forgot to talk about it until now.  Not that the food was anything to write home about, that was good as always.  Nope, it's the fortunes I need to mention. So you know, your local Chinese place reaches in a box of cookies and randomly pulls out how many ever they'll be giving you. We always open and read ours then pass it

So let's see, this weekend was pretty good for the most part.  It was HDT's weekend to work. Friday night, Hmm, why can't I ever remember what we did on Friday nights?  On Thursday I agreed that I'd try out his new game Rift either on Friday or Saturday evening after he got home from work.  I didn't do it Friday and it seems to me it was because we actually did something to prevent it.  But I

So this weekend was pretty good.  Friday night on my way home from work I gave HDiTty a call as usual and he said that Jim and Pat were on their way over to go out to the movies.  Jim's been wanting to take us to a movie for our birthdays since he didn't get us anything for them. I was pretty tired and didn't want to go anywhere but I really wanted to see Paul so I said as long as I didn't have

So this was another fairly busy weekend even though HDT had to work. But I can't remember what we did Friday night.  I'm thinking we must have stayed home as usual since he had to work Saturday morning but I really can't remember.  If we stayed home as I'm thinking we did we watched some Dexter's Season 4 from Netflix. Saturday, as mentioned, he had to work so he was gone when I got up which

So this weekend was a good one.  Since HDiTty had to work on my birthday weekend we celebrated it this past weekend. Friday after work we got ready and went out to Outback Steakhouse rather than a "fancy" steakhouse as I was originally wanting to do.  We agreed that since people were coming over on Saturday we'd already be spending a lot of money so we decided to go "cheaper" and go to a chain

So, you know what bugs me?  No, well I'll tell you.  This bugs me: That thing on the side of the cabinet is a towel holder.  My late, great stepfather made it himself in his wood shop.  All you have to do is stick the towel into it and it hangs there nice and handy for the next time you need it.  It holds it up and out of the way of everything and it's loose enough that it'll dry quickly.

So yesterday was Fat Tuesday and a few weeks ago I ordered two King Cakes from a bakery (which will go unnamed) in New Orleans to have shipped to me here in Illinois for delivery on Monday.  They came and I was very happy that I didn't have to do the frosting and the sugar as I have had to do with cakes in the past.  I got into work and proceeded to make a nice set up on one of the tables in

So, it was my birthday weekend and it was pretty damn uneventful.  Mainly because HDiTty had to work. Friday I was hoping to go out for a really nice steak dinner but he made a good point.  Since he had to work Saturday morning we wouldn't be able to just go out and enjoy ourselves with good food and a good drink or two.  He wouldn't be able to have a drink, not really anyway, and we'd be

Happy Birthday to me!! I'm 41 today.  Does that mean I'm on the hill down or is that at 51?  I say it's at 51 and at 51 I'm gonna say it's at 61 and so on and so forth. Our accounting manager's birthday is today as well.  2/3 of our accounting department is birthdaying it today.  Heh So our boss took our department and the admin department out to lunch.  We decided to go to TGI Fridays.  Good

So my birthday is tomorrow, the big 41, ugh!  Anyway, because I kept getting headaches within an hour or so of putting the perfume on or as Monday went - not putting on but sitting with my snuggie pulled up to my neck and smelling the perfume that had gotten on it from the last two days - I decided it wouldn't be a good idea to get the stuff. But today when I went home for lunch HDiTty asked if

So let's see.  It was a pretty busy weekend overall really.  HDiTty has a group of friends from his junior high and high school days, they call themselves The Mutants because they were pretty geeky.  Hell, to a point they all still are.  Anyway, some of them got together during the day on Friday and went to lunch then hung out until I got home. I changed pretty quickly and we headed out to

So I'm laying in bed last night ready to go to sleep and for some reason I cannot fathom this thought came into my head.  I wonder if anyone says ain't anymore.  I don't seem to say it all anymore and I used to say it all the time.  I couldn't tell you when I quit though.  It wasn't a conscious decision on my part, I just for some reason quit saying it apparently.  And I don't recall hearing

So another boring weekend basically.  Friday right after work I went and did the grocery shopping so I wouldn't have to do it over the weekend.  HDT was supposed to work his normal weekend 6am to 6pm but one of his coworkers had been in a single car accident a few days ago and was pretty sore so she called in Friday night.  So they sent him home early so he could go back at 10pm. So he was

So Friday was HDT's 40th birthday.  We planned on going out to our favorite Chinese restaurant  by ourselves then maybe doing something after.  Maybe going to see Sixteen Candles, a really fun 80's tribute band, that was playing at a local bar or going to Zanies Comedy Club.  But then those plans changed a little bit.  We still went to the restaurant but Jess came with and afterward we met Jim at

So, let's see. It was his weekend to work but he took Sunday off and only had to work his 8 hour day on Saturday. Friday was our usual staying at home and watching tv while he played on the computer. Saturday I was lazy again, too cold do anything else. Well, not totally lazy. I did get on the elliptical. I wanted to use the treadmill but it wasn't working (again).  So I used the elliptical.

So we had a bit of snow the other day. Maybe you heard about it? The Chicago news stations are calling it The Blizzard of 2011. Yep, original.I was getting a little ticked at the bosses since it started coming down pretty darn good just after 3:00 and they weren't letting us go. They finally did just after 4:00. I backed into my spot in the driveway went inside and didn't come out again until the

So, let's see. I can't think of anything we did on Friday night so I'm thinking we did our usual catching up on shows while HDiTty also played WOW.Nope, I remember now. We went to a wake for one of his coworkers that passed away. I got out a little early so we could be there as close to 5:00 as possible since that's when it started. We got there around 5:30 or so and left around 6:40 or so.

So I don't remember what we did on Friday, must have just hung around the house as we do most nights catching up on the dvr'd shows.Saturday HDT had to work his 8 hour day. I got ready to go to my mom's for the day. After dropping off HDT's camera to him and running to the store to pick up whipping cream and strawberries I got to mom's just after noon. My stepdad's birthday is the 24th and since

So this weekend was half busy and half relaxing. Friday when I got home from work HDT's sister, Jenn, was over with her two kids. Her oldest spent the whole time playing on his DS except for when he made a call to one of his friends to invite him over for a sleepover. And her youngest, who will be turning 2 in just a couple weeks, spent the whole time running around trying to get into whatever he

So, yeah, my migraine got so bad that I had to stay home on Tuesday. I took one of my pills after calling in to work and then crawled back into bed and hibernated until after 12:00. And pretty much only got up then because HDT had to get up for a doctor appointment and he disturbed Poydras. So I got up to let him outside and feed him, Poydras not HDT silly. I debated crawling back into bed again

So, hmmm, I can't remember what we did Friday evening. I think we just hung out and watched some tv because it was his weekend to work and he wanted to get into bed by 9:00. Yes, that's it. He was in bed by 8:45 actually. I followed not too much long after. Oh, no, never mind. I stayed up until midnight because I was going to make italian beef for the next day and since the meat was going to

So, I've only had a hand full of really bad migraines since leaving my last place of employment back in November '09. As in, bad enough I have to take the strong medicine for it.I've had one every day but Saturday since last Wednesday, maybe even Tuesday. Most of the time ibuprofen has been getting rid of it. But today it's worse than it has been, not sure if I'm gonna make it the whole day at

So I think I've officially given up on the People's Choice Awards. I don't always remember to watch it but I remember that past awards weren't so bad. Boring bits here and there as all award shows can have, but still, for the most part not so bad. And pretty accurate on the winners as well. This year's show was just awful. About half way through HDT made a comment about how it's really the teen

So Thursday we got out of work early at 3:00. Well, by the time I finished what I was doing at the time we were told we could go and then cleaning up my desk it was actually 3:20 that I got out of there. Anyway, HDiTty and I had planned on meeting up with our friend Pat and going to see a movie. Since I got out early we confirmed with him that he was ready to go and we picked him up then went out

So last night after work HDT's dad and stepmom came over for us to exchange gifts. Normally we go to their house on Christmas Day but since he had to work the rest of the weekend that didn't happen this year. So we ordered some dinner and sat around visiting then finally opened gifts. I got the whole Ally McBeal dvd package which makes me one happy girl!Not long after that Jim and his girls

So we got out of work early on Thursday after having our company Christmas Luncheon. I brought my blueberry fluff and some of the carrot cookies I made last weekend. All but a couple pieces of the fluff was eaten and I gave the rest to my coworker since she didn't get any and I had two more whole ones left anyway. Only a few of the cookies were eaten but that's ok, there were plenty of other

So I just realized I never posted about my fucking DEAD Christmas tree. I'm so disappointed, saddened, frustrated, etc., etc....We got a beautiful tree, fat as all get out, pretty green, smelling great - I was a happy girl. But in one week's time, ONE FUCKING WEEK, it was already dying. Back on the 11th I noticed I was smelling it again. Usually after just a few days of putting a fresh tree up

So this weekend was really, really good. One of the best we've had in a while, although busy it was a lot of fun.Friday after work I had a couple quick errands to run and when I was at the last traffic light before the house HDT texts me that the food is getting cold. HE MADE DINNER! Yippee!! So I get there and he's downstairs with a couple burgers and the soda all ready to go. We quickly ate and

So we attempted to do some Christmas shopping on Monday night. We headed out to Toys R Us to get a couple Xbox light up game controllers for two of my nephews and also a few other things that we saw in their advertiser for some of the other kids. We decided to go to the controllers first and sure enough they were out of them for the Xbox, still had plenty left for the PS3 though. So we go to ask

So we had plans to start our Christmas shopping this weekend but when I got home from work on Friday I was informed that we'd be watching Kylie on Saturday. We already were going to be doing it on Sunday. But I guess Jess' sitter for Saturday fell through so she asked us. HDT says he still planned on doing the shopping anyway on Saturday but I knew it would fall through. She'd be the perfect

So we finally got our tree decorated last night. We were supposed to do it Sunday but both ended up feeling pretty darn lazy so decided to do it on Monday. His sister Jess decided to come over to hang out and also cut his hair. So it didn't get done then. Tuesday he spent most of the day with his friend Jim because Jim had loaned his car to his ex wife for the day and night so HDT had to

So let's see, we had a pretty busy 3 days this weekend.Friday HDT had to watch his niece Kylie while Jess had to work. They were watching Labyrinth when I got home. Ever since I played that for her, after she told me she didn't like even though she'd never seen it, she's wanted to watch it every time she comes over. She calls it the movie with the baby. After that ended HDT put Happy Feet in but

So it's been snowing since I left the house this morning. Nothing really big, they started out those tiny hard white balls but since then they've fluffed up some.It basically looks like powdered sugar covered ground. Nothing to get excited about but still, since there is some accumulation I guess it could be considered the first snow fall of the season.HDT texted me a while ago saying he wants to

So Friday we got out of work at 3:30 and I headed over to the grocery store to start getting some of the ingredients for the cookies. I decided to try out 5 of them but one of the ingredients is cake flour and our grocery store doesn't sell it. I've since learned a substitute for it but I of course didn't look that up before I did the cookies so the one recipe that called for it I just didn't do.

So Wednesday night and Thanksgiving day went well. We got out of work at 3:30 on Wednesday and rather than go straight to the store to start getting cookie ingredients I decided to go home to see if HDT would like to come with me. But he made a good point. He asked if we had any plans for the rest of the day and I said other than making some cookies no we had no plans. He said since we wouldn't

So I was tooling around the Internet yesterday and found the Joy of Cooking site and found 14 cookie recipes I want to try out. There're also a few that I found in my Southern Living and Country Living mags and then there's my carrot cookie recipe that's been in my family for years. I've been thinking about doing a lot of baking this Christmas time. Last year would've been better since I wasn't

So our weekend definitely was a busy one but it was good.Friday I got out of work at 3:15. Got home and HDT was working on the leaves, let him know he'd have to quit soon to start getting ready to get out of there for the company holiday party. I packed our overnight bag and got our outfits together. We were on the road after 4:00, not sure when exactly, but we were trucking on down the road.

So our weekend went well. It was HDT's weekend to work but he had an 8 hour day on Saturday so that was nice.Friday evening we did our workout after dinner as usual. Watched more dvr'd shows as usual and that was about it.Saturday he went to work and I slept in. Then took a nice long bath while reading Wizard and Glass - Book IV of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Love these books, can't

So we've used the elliptical and treadmill every day but one since Saturday. We decided to take Tuesday off to recoup. I was sore on Monday but I had HDT massage my back, which was the most sore, and that did the trick. It loosened up the muscles and I was good to go and it hasn't hurt that way since. His feet were hurting pretty bad on Tuesday and it doesn't help that he stands for most of his

So I do my weekend update post and then go to view it the site and lo and behold my blogrolling list is back!! So I got to their site to see if they have anything to say about coming back and nothing. It just looks the same as before. I'm totally confused.So this is one of the times that I'm glad I'm such a procrastinator. Otherwise I would've already taken the stuff out of my template and would

So Friday the treadmill was delivered but of course when I got home from work I had a headache and was just too damn tired to work out so we didn't. I thought for sure he would've used it earlier in the day but he hadn't. Jim had come over in the afternoon, they were supposed to go out to the garage to lift weights but they decided it was just too cold to do so so they didn't do that either. So

I sure would like to know what the hell happened to my blogger list. It's been gone for the past two days. WTF I wonder if anyone else who uses blogrolling is having problems. Hmmmm, let me go do some searching....So, the few sites I went to seem to still have their blog lists so I'm not sure what's going on. I'll have to look into it some more a little later._____________________Later:So yeah,

So let's see, I'm drawing a blank on what we did Friday night. Probably not much of anything since this was his weekend to work. I'm thinking we vegged out watching DVR'd shows until he had to go to bed for the night.Saturday he went to work and I went back to bed until 9:30ish. Took a long, hot bath reading my book. Mom called me to let me know that she and Roy would be by later in the day to

So last night HDT and I had to run an errand and while out we decided to try a new restaurant in town. Just a little burger joint. We each got a hotdog rather than a burger though. It was good, we'll eat there again.But that's not what I came on to say. When we left the wind was blowing really hard and I go to get in his Jeep and a gust comes up and pushes the door into me and I lose my balance

So I've been really looking forward to the new Harry Potter movie, like really excited it's finally coming out. All the previews look terrific and nice and dark. I just found out that the company's holiday party will be on the same day as the release day of the movie - November 19th.I told HDT about it last night and he of course said I was gonna be going to the party by myself then or he'd go

So since we did some things on Thursday I decided to include it in my weekend update. Thursday night we went to the Apple store because HDT's new iphone 4 wasn't working. He had bought it Wednesday night and did all that he was supposed to do for the transferring over of information and all and that worked but it was telling him he had no service. He had to go to work at 2:00am so I told him at 9

So we're finally on our way to getting a new tv and we're finally on our way to getting rid of AT&T U-verse for good as well.I can't remember if I mentioned before or not but our huge 70" tv started getting these little blue dots on it last spring. Over the months the amount has grown and grown, it started out with 3 and now they're hundreds of them if not thousands. We quit counting after we

So let's see. After I got off work Friday I headed over to Walmart to do the shopping. I was browsing all the fall stuff lost in the fantasy of buying it all when I glanced at the clock and realized how late it was getting so decided I better start doing the actual shopping that was needed. I was a good girl and didn't buy one fall thing.Got home and put everything away and since HDT was working

So this weekend was pretty busy but very enjoyable. Friday right after I got home from work HDT and I headed out to visit his dad and stepmom about an hour away at a campground they were staying at for the weekend. What should have taken us about an hour took almost two. He wanted to stop and wash the jeep because he'd be taking back the soft top to his friend that he borrowed it from the next

Yesterday was our 5/15 anniversary. Happy Anniversary HDiTty - love you bunches!So I've been sick the last several days. Tuesday morning I woke around 4ish with a fever. I was shivering and sweating like crazy. The fever didn't break until later in the morning but by then I had a migraine. Ibuprofen took care of that by the evening so I had every intention of going in to work on Wednesday. HDT

So, normally we'd be up in Door County right now enjoying our anniversary week. But because I quit my job last year and was out for 6 months and then only making temporary pay when I did get a job we couldn't head up there this year. I'm sad about that but I'm glad I got the job I did because so far it's great.So, we thought about going to a movie Friday night but I was pretty darn tired from

So, Les' memorial and the visitation was Wednesday evening. The 1st hour was the memorial and several people got up to speak. I wanted to but every time someone new got up there and started to talk I'd start crying. Then Wayne looks right at me and I say "I can't" and as I'm saying can't I start to cry all over again. I just couldn't do it. After that we had the visitation. We didn't do a formal

Les died Saturday night after having a really good day according to everyone who saw him. We didn't get over there and I'm sad for that but at the same time I basically said my goodbyes on Wednesday night. Although I didn't say that word I was still saying it and I'm sure he knew it. By Thursday at lunch time he refused to wear the oxygen mask anymore and by Friday they had him home. I called

So yesterday just before lunch time I'm talking to HDT on his cell phone about Poydras. Poydras and the two kitties got their rabies shot and he got the distemper shot as well. They all also received blood work to make sure none of them have heart worms. Our neighbors new dog that they got from the pound had them and since we were lax in giving Poydras his medicine we wanted to make sure all were

Man oh man was that a scary/good game last night. They barely pulled out that win. But as HDT says, everyone wants to beat the Superbowl champs so they're coming at the Saints harder than ever.Our prayers go out to Reggie for a swift recovery. HDT said he's out for six weeks, ugh, we're gonna miss him. I wish we still had Bell, last year when Bush was out and Bell was in it was almost like we

So this was a weekend of catch up sleep for me. The week of the vacation and last week I didn't get much sleep at all. I knew this but still didn't think it was all that bad. But Saturday morning after getting up with HDT at 5:30 to help him get ready for work I went back to bed and slept until just before 11:00. I woke up a few times but it was really just to roll over. At one point I thought I

So, the vacation was pretty good. We got out of town around 1:00pm which ended up being a good time since it put us right at dinner time at Gambino's Louisiana Restaurant in Taylorville, Illinois. Unfortunately they don't have a website, the menu is the best I could do and it must be somewhat old because the hours on there are incorrect. They don't open until 4:00pm, unless that's the fall/winter

So, where to begin. I guess I'll have this post be about the game experience and another about the trip in general.We left the hotel after changing into our Saints gear around 4:15 with three others that we had met at the hotel bar and chatted with whenever we saw them coming and going. Upon walking out the hotel door we entered a small crowd heading to Poydras and when we turned on that to head

So nothing much has been happening around these here parts for the last few days. HDT started his vacation yesterday, he's off through the 12th. I've given him a to do list for the next couple of days. A few phone calls mostly but they need to be handled sooner rather than later. The most important is calling his stepmom to see if she'll be around and willing to take care of the cats as my mom

Friday night we debated going to see a movie and then decided not to, can't remember why though. Can't really remember what we did that night either. We must have just decided to stay home and watch some more shows from the DVR while he played his online game. Saturday while eating breakfast I decided to check the time for Avatar since we never did see it when it came the first time around nor

I have finally been given the good news! I will be hired on officially at my job (in here through a temp agency). My first official day as the company's employee will be the day I return to work from vacation - the 13th.WooHoo!!!!

So everyone that's going on the trip with us came over last night so we can lock down as much as we can. Scott has a training class Tuesday morning so we'll be leaving as soon as possible after he's done which we're hoping is as early as 10ish but could be as late as 12:00. We'll head to Taylorville for dinner instead of lunch and then after that head towards Mississippi, don't remember the town

So I'm slowly moving forward in the twitter department. I haven't done one yet at all but I've chosen several people and companies to follow. I went ahead and put in the widget on the sidebar for whenever I actually do start to tweet.I have a feeling I'll do some while on vaca. Speaking of which I need to go ask for some more time off....So I was just given permission for the two extra days off,

So this weekend was pretty good. Two of my brothers came over Friday morning and cut down our magnolia tree. They took a bunch of pictures and then I took several more when I got home that evening. We still need to get them downloaded from the camera and then I'll post some on here. I loved that tree but HDT has been wanting to get rid of if for years as I believe I mentioned some number of

So, he looked over my breakdown and saw that we'd be able to make the trip just fine and with all his overtime he's doing will just make it that much easier. So the trip is back on. I'm so happy and excited.Oh to be back in the land of awesome food and warm hospitality and great music. I can't wait to get some mouth watering crawfish etoufee and even more mouth watering beignets. Mmmmmm.Media

So HDT is king of making me crazy! He's so damn fickle it's unreal. Last night he comes crawling into bed saying how he doesn't think we should go to New Orleans anymore. He started thinking of all the money for the tickets, plane, hotel, etc. and what else we need here at home and decided it's just too much money. The only thing we really need here at home is a new tv. He mentioned the soft

Woot! Woot! We are going to the opening game!!!!I got my two days off approved and we have been talking to a few people about going along. Although they probably won't be going to the game, the cheapest tickets we found were over $200.00 each. So yeah, not cheap but HDT and I are biting the bullet and buying those suckers. I did the research for the plane and hotel and those are actually pretty

So, this was a mix of out and about and stay at home and do nothing weekend. Friday night despite a couple movies opening up that we want to see we opted to stay home. He played WOW while I mowed the lawn. Then, while he continued to play WOW I watched the extras on Grey's Anatomy Season 4 and then Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I haven't seen that movie for ages, such a good one.Saturday we

Yeah, as much as I love children I'm still so happy I chose never to be a parent.HDT watched his 3 yo niece all day yesterday. It went really well, he said they watched movies while playing all morning. Then his friend Jim came over with his two daughters who are 12 and 6 and they watched movies and played for the rest of the afternoon while he and Jim played on their game on the computer.When

So this weekend was a really relaxing one compared to most. Other than doing some cleaning and laundry I did a marathon of Grey's Anatomy again. Except for Saturday evening. The brothers and niece and nephew came over to watch the UFC fights and around 11:15 or so HDT's littlest sister came over as well. Wayne and Roy looked over the Magnolia tree to strategize on cutting it down. They plan

So I opened a twitter account and chose to follow several people/companies. But I haven't written anything myself as of yet. Who knows, I might not ever. But I'll look into it a bit more over the weekend. I haven't been back to check on any of the ones I'm following either. I don't even know what possessed me to do it in the first place. Oh well, we shall see.What I find amusing is that a company

So Pretty Boy almost every night and sometimes even during the day has taken to carrying objects in his mouth and meowing. I believe he's doing it because he wants food, it always seems to be around feeding time. But here's the thing. He also does it within an hour of being fed a lot of the times. So I just don't know.But this morning around 4:00 he wakes me and Poydras up and usually when that

So the family reunion was a lot of fun, exhausting, but fun.Friday when I got home from work HDiTty was still packing up his stuff for Sat. but he was physically ready to go which I was happy to see. After helping him pretty much finish packing we set off for the bowling alley. There were already several people there, the room we had reserved was already packed to the gills. We collected our

So our family reunion starts tonight. It's a mixer at a bowling alley. I'm really really tired and I'm only half looking forward to going. A huge part of me would like to just stay at home and veg on the couch and go to bed early. Especially since I'll have to get up early to take HDT to the airport. But I know once I get there I'll have a good time. So off to the reunion I go.No media

So the weekend went really well. Friday night we stayed home and just watched some tv since it was his weekend to work. Saturday he went to work all day. I picked up LeRoy and we went to Wayne's house for his son's 14th birthday party. Normally the kids' parties are separated into a family party on one day and their friend's party on another. But they decided to combine them this time. He had

So, I was going through yahoo's shine and came across this intriguing article: The Sexual Bucket List - 50 Things To Do Sexually Before You Die and couldn't help but read through 'em and see how many I've done.I've done 33 out of the 50. Apparently I'm a lot more adventurous then I ever thought. Well, sort of anyway. There's still a few on there that I haven't done but would like to such as #14 (

So Friday night HDT's youngest sister and their mom came over and we went out to dinner and a movie. We went to see Inception which I really liked but I don't think the other girls liked it much and HDT didn't like as much as me, although he did enjoy it. It was late by the time we got out of there so they went to his sister's house for the night, I went to bed and HDT stayed up to play Call

So, yeah, I almost started a fire yesterday.....Last Christmas all us kids received wooden pan holders from mom and Les which Les made himself in his wood shop. They're really cool and we've had ours on our stove ever since bringing them home. You know what I'm talking about? Those things you put on your table to put a really hot pot/pan on so your table or table cloth doesn't get all burnt and

So HDT will be going to a seminar type thingy the first week of August for his APCO stuff. The day he's supposed to leave is the 2nd day of the reunion. I've told him he'll have to leave either late that evening or Sunday. When he was checking flights/hotels last night it looks like leaving on Sunday is actually 100 bucks more. And although we didn't think it was worth it last night after

So I got home yesterday and HDT was in the shower and asks me what I want to do for the evening. I said I didn't know and asked him what he wanted to do. He asked if I'd like to go out to dinner and a movie. He said a sit down dinner even. I got all giddy, he hardly ever wants to go to a sit down restaurant. He let me pick and since I had a hankerin for a steak I decided on Lone Star. We haven't

So of course he bought a Jeep this weekend. He found one online on Friday and called his BIL who works at the place and we went by Saturday night after HDT got off of work. Didn't get out of there until almost 10. And then he does his usual indecisiveness thing and starts second guessing himself. I usually like when he does it because that means whatever it is he wants to buy doesn't get bought
