After visiting all three Lowe's in town and not being able to agree on anything, we decided to try Home Depot. The selection there was even less; however, since we were at Home Depot, I decided to look at cooktops. Of course, they didn't have what I was looking for either. But, as I rounded a back aisle, I saw a few customer order sinks and grabbed Tony and the kids. We found one we all loved

Eight more classes left after the spring semester is over. I enrolled for summer and fall yesterday. I'm taking Cost Accounting II in the summer and Auditing I and Business Statistics in the fall. It looks like I might be able to graduate in December 2010 instead of sometime in 2011! Of course, I'll have to go back and take 6 more accounting hours to get my 30 hours in. I'm good on the 150

Our friend came over yesterday to look at our sink/cabinet space. We made a general layout. We get to go shopping for a countertop and sink this weekend and will design the cabinets around it. How exciting!! This is finally starting to come together.

Yes, it's been a while since I've updated this blog again. We've made a lot of progress with the bathroom; although, it doesn't seem like it. There's so much prep work and that seems to take a lot of time. Plus we needed to set time aside to take the boat out.Here's what's happened:The crimson red above the shower is finished.The wallapper is all gone. Yay!!! I can't tell you how glad I am we're

This is Tony's buck from last hunting season. It's at the taxidermy shop right now. He'll get it in May or June.

We're two days into the bathroom remodel. We're only working on this room on the weekends. Tony took out the extended counter and frame. Then there was more glue and wallpaper backing to remove. Tony has to move the wire box for the light fixture above the sink. And we need to figure out how to get that huge mirror out of there. After that, the room will be ready for tape and mud - next

Well, we started redoing the kids' bathroom today. Tony took out the stool and flooring while I removed the switch/outlet covers and toothbrush and cup holders. Here's a few "before" shots of the bathroom.One day into this project and, already, we had to make a trip to Lowes for adhesive remover. Hopefully we can finish scraping the adhesive off the floor tomorrow and start stripping wallpaper

Hi again. Yes, it's been a very long time since I've posted anything. I started a new job last May that I love. I'm still taking classes. This semester it's Principles of Marketing and Intermediate Accounting II. I'm getting closer to completing this degree! I'll have to look again but last count, I think I had around 10 classes left.On the knitting front, I haven't touched a knitting project

Wow, it's already the end of April!The semester is finally almost over. I have a group project due tonight, an interactive class project due next week, and one more final to take. This has been a tough semester but I'm so glad I had good professors. I haven't enrolled for the fall semester yet. I haven't decided if I want to take Intermediate Accounting II or Statistics. Intermediate II would

I know I haven't been around here for a while. We celebrated our anniversary at Walt Disney World a few weeks ago. We spent New Year's Eve in Epcot and New Year's Day at Magic Kingdom. It was crowded but lots of fun also. We had our second meal of the new year in Cinderella's Castle. I have 570 pictures to go through and decide which ones to print for our photo album.

Wow, it's amazing another year has passed!! It seems like we were just taking down last year's Christmas decorations the other day. The 1st graders were so cute in those paper sack vests Tuesday afternoon.We'll be visiting family on Sunday, but, for today, we're pretty much hibernating - lounging around and watching movies. We're having ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, and chocolate pie for

Yesterday, I went to a Partylite party. I love their candles! I ordered Hinoki Steam tealights and a set of birthday candles. I'm kicking myself for not ordering the Global Fusion globe. It would have gone perfectly in our master bathroom. Okay, so would the African Inspiration items, but that set was too pricey.On the way to the party, I found a cute little vintage shop called The Tarnished

I hope my sewing machine has enjoyed the year long, probably two-year long rest she's had. I blame Hancock's pattern sale and pricey cost of pre-made Halloween costumes. Hopefully my sewing skills are as good as I think they are or can be.Isaac picked out Dracula. After reviewing this pattern, it will be much easier than originally thought. All I have to make are the cape, vest, and jabot

Here I am getting ready for work on Halloween morning. Our group decided to do an 80's theme this year. I woke up at 5:30am... yes, 5:30am! After a quick shower, the next hour and 45 minutes were spent just on getting my hair moused, dried, sprayed, teased, and ratted and sprayed again and again and again. I have washed my hair a few times now and can still smell the hairspray! Time for some

Stef, Isaac, and I went to the air show today. It was about a 40 minute drive until we got 2 miles from the field where it suddenly turned into a 2 hour drive.Wave to the cars behind us. Aren't we glad that's not us way back there!And wave to the folks ahead of us.Okay, technically, I was not taking photos and driving. Moving one tenth of a mile every 15-20 minutes does not count as driving.We

Finally, what we came out here to see...These four planes were part of the WW2 set.It's blurry and a bad photo to start with, but that's a person on top of the top wing. It's upside down in case it's hard to make out.Taking pictures of flying planes was very hard especially when the sun's in the way. Here's one I missed the plane and got the sun.

Now, this is what I used to dream of becoming one day. I'll admit I'm getting a little old. Watching the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels fly this afternoon, I don't think I could stomach those twists anymore. The last time I saw them fly was probably in the eighth or ninth grade. I had a few great opportunities to photograph the bellies of these planes if only they gave some warning that they were

It just hit me that tonight was knitting night!! I had every intention of going and couldn't think of what I was supposed to do tonight. I knew I couldn't be so lucky to have two free evenings in a row; however, I convinced myself I did since we had last night off from dancing because of Oktoberfest. I'll try again next time.

These were made in a week's time for a baby basket Stef's Girl Scouts troop is donating to a local hospital. The shawl set was made from Lion's baby homespun. The preemie booties were made from some leftover yarn I had from the dishcloth exchange.

Isaac and I met a couple of the Irish dancers at the park and ride.We parked our van and rode a school bus to Oktoberfest.School buses are much comfier now than when I had to ride them!It was much easier than trying to find a parking area at the 'fest like we did last year.We met up with the rest of the group by the stage.It was lots of fun!A couple of them told me to just keep smiling and no one

Here's my favorite way to travel...Tony loves driving long distance, so I usually end up riding shotgun. We usually wear our sunglasses. I relax and watch the scenery. Since Tony's driving, we're probably listening to the Soggy Bottom Boys tape from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". I always bring along a few knitting projects to work on. I get car sick if I try to read but I can knit and keep

One of our radio stations hosted a "Family Fun Night" last night. Tony and the kids picked up the free tickets a couple of weeks ago. They had a local band, Emerson Drive, and Ricochet. The local band was okay. Emerson Drive and Ricochet were T E R R I F I C!! I think we had the best seats. We were picture taking distance from the stage and I never even thought about bringing the camera.

I finally found a local knitting group. This group meets at a library across town from me. They seem like a fun bunch of people. I didn't think of bringing a couple of my finish works in to show off. I'll do that next time. I have gotta make me one of those felted bags. I love them!!Thank you to Knit and fall back in it for the photo. According to her blog, from left to right are Kathy,

I don't think I've shown this here. This is the scarf I made for the exchange the WW group had back in February. It's a cable and lace pattern made out of a 50/50 blend of silk and (I think) alpaca yarn. It's very soft and snuggly. I almost hated sending it off but am very happy with how it turned out. I'd love to make one for myself in green with the same yarn. I purchased the yarn when

Wow, it's been almost a month since I've touched this blog! School started again. I'm in an Intro to IS class this semester. Ken... Help!?!?! Oh, it's okay if I can concentrate on the lectures. The professor is very monotonous. I can't wait to get back to accounting classes in the spring. I miss them and I'm tired of business courses. I'm also going through Numb3rs withdrawal as well. I

I ended up with a B in Micro. I'm happy with it. I opted out of writing the last paper. I had my list ready but didn't have time or want to research and write it. I'm so glad I'm finished with the Econ classes and can get back to Accounting classes. Yay!!!I'm enrolled in an IS class for this fall. I'm paying my tuition later this week and will see how much the book is.

Tony and I survived a week of being unsupervised. Stef and Isaac have been at their grandparent's house since last Sunday. We're picking them up tomorrow. Let's see if I remember what we did this week.Sunday: Drove home and picked up fish from Long Johns.Monday: We went to Abuelos and the casino. Our betting limit was $20 total. We came out with that plus an addition $14.Tuesday: Netflix

One week left. All assignments are due this Friday. I finished the last of my required comments for the current events portion of the class. That's been a very interesting part of this class. I'll miss those.I just submitted my second paper, written in one day and finished with two glasses of pina colada. Mmmm. It was, however, lacking the rum. :) Anyways, two more papers to go. I debated

I ran across this fun quiz the other day. Here's the top places it recommended for me to live at based on a whole bunch of questions about what I like. I find it very interesting that Florida is only listed once and Orlando or Hawaii aren't even on this list. I know I told it a close proximity to beaches were very important to me. Hmmm... could it be that the quiz is defective??? Or could it

Today, I read four chapters of my microecon book, took four chapter quizzes and two exams. I feel like I've accomplished half a semester in one day. Wow!!That leaves four chapters and one last exam for tomorrow. Then I'll be busy writing papers and current events summaries the next two weeks. I have until July 27th to get everything finished and submitted. Yikes!!Tony's been great and let me

Time to break open the champagne and celebrate!This paper is finished and submitted! Only three more left to write this month.I'm peeked at the next paper's topic: unemployment and welfare.That can get me very emotional. It's part of why I rarely watch the news.I'll have to get a box of tissues to have near my keyboard.

This internet class isn't as bad as it looked at first glance as long as you keep up with the assignments. I've done well with that except for the first paper. I don't care about writing research papers. Yuck... yuck.... Yuck!!! Once I start writing, it goes fast. It's just a matter of getting started. If you can't tell, I'm stalling. I was supposed to have written it last night but ended

Dressing 101: Shirt buttons go to the front.We went on an impromptu shopping trip Friday night. After trying on several outfits in a few different stores, I came out of Wal-Mart's dressing room with my collared, button top on backwards. Yes, the collar opening and buttons were on my back. I was several feet from the dressing room when Tony started laughing at me and I noticed something didn't

Alas, the dishwasher is officially kaput. The timer is the part that went out. It's hard to find a replacement because the dishwasher is so outdated. Tony found a parts place that can get it for us but the estimated cost is $100+ just for the part. Considering the cost of a new dishwasher, we decided it wasn't worth fixing. But, we're also not wanting to spend the money for a new one right

Aah, it's finally the weekend!Macroeconomics is out of the way!I think I did ok. Still waiting on the final grade. She's the first professor I've had since going back to school who doesn't grade on any type of curve. There were plenty of extra credit opportunities, so I'm sure I did fine. However, I refused to sing "Gilligan's Island's" Theme Song in front of the class.It was worth 5 or 6 extra

Tony saved our dishwasher again. This was the second time it almost died on us since we moved into this house. The first time was right after we moved in. We went to Disney World for a few days and when we came home, it wouldn't start. Tony worked his magic and the dishwasher started working. This weekend, we ran a load of dishes and found a flood in the kitchen! It took half a day and

We met my parents, brothers, niece, nephew, and in laws at Roaring River last weekend. We camped, fished, and visited the hatchery. I have tons of pictures to share sometime soon. Anyways, Mother's Day and mom's birthday were last month. She never wants much and that makes it very difficult to get her something on these occasions. My WW friends did a dishcloth exchange earlier this year. (

Last night was Stef's end of the year Girl Scouts ceremony. They wanted it at a real bridge which meant our azalea park and a very lengthy walk downhills. It wasn't a bad walk on the way down except yours truly had sandals on and it had rained earlier in the morning. Also, ya know, that means a good climb on the way back. The azaleas were all hit by the March freeze, same with our fruit and

Tony is taking me shopping next weekend for my Mother's Day gift. To prepare for that, I cleaned out my side of the closet yesterday. Wow, I had no idea all the cloths I had. Most are getting pretty old and need to be taken out. There's also several outfits I haven't worn in a couple of years at last. I took everything out the closet and tossed them on the bed.

The semester is finally over. Got a "A" in both classes. I turned in the paper 1 day before it was due. :) The assignment was given back in February, I believe, and was due May 2nd. She meant for us to write it during free time at VITA. LOL, did anyone of us do that? Well, I know one person wrote two pages of it the first night we were given the assignment. No, that wasn't me.

I'm drinking coffee again. Not nearly as much as I used.Maybe a cup or two a day.Some days, I don't drink it all.I can't stand to drink it black yet.It needs to have lots of Irish Creme or Chocolate creamer mixed in.I still drink black or green teas.It can be hard to choose between the two.

I've met (online) a group of ladies on the WW boards who are all knitters. They knit at all different levels. Some are very experienced and have been knitting for years and some have just started and others knitted before and have started again. They've really inspired me to develop my knitting skills. The other thing I see I need to do is build up a "stash" pile of yarn. Shhh.... I need to

Here's the scarf I received from the first exchange. There's a neat story behind this. I'll post a picture of the scarf I made for my recepient later. It's almost the same color as the one I made. When I was making my exchange scarf, I kept having the odd feeling that the lady making mine was using similar colors. Secondly, while having to make the third trip back to the yarn shop for yet

Wow! We were surprised to see it snow tonight. It was sprinkling when I went to get dinner and when we went out to go shopping we saw huge snow flakes falling in the driveway. Hearing the weatherman say it's not the latest snow we've had in this area. It started to accumulate on our car but was melted by the time we came home.

Rejoice with me!!!!I just finished the mate to my first sock. Looking back in my blog, I started the first sock back in August of last year. I had finished them a while back but the second toe didn't feel right, so I ripped it out back to the heal, redid the foot, and only had to toe decreases to do. I never felt like working on it so it sat in a bag while I worked on other projects. I'm

I just finished my first pair of Fiber Trends Felt Clogs for Stef. I used Cascade 220 yarn (Peruvian Highland Wool) in her choice of colors. Truthfully, the black was getting very boring to work with. The clogs knitted up very fast when I worked on them. The felting process only took about 20 minutes. I'll have to do more felting projects. That was so much fun!Before felting: Stef was very

I started relearning to crochet this evening. I tried 2 doily patterns that didn't turn out. I tried a 3rd pattern... And, it's looking like the picture!! I'm using a white thread with gold sparkles. It makes me thinks of Christmas.Flag football is over with and my class is also settling down somewhat, so I should be around a little more often now.

Happy Halloween! Well, the kids and Tony are out Trick-Or-Treating. We've had a few visitors already. The weather's very nice for Halloween. I didn't think of that when I went candy shopping earlier today. I hope I bought enough to last the night.One man had a cute little guy with him and took pictures of me handing his son candy. It was his son's first trick-or-treat visit. He had to have been

Tony (my husband) went hunting yesterday morning. There was a red squirrel who had made his stand his breakfast area. He's a messy house guest. Tony had to clean off all the nut shells the squirrel had left. The squirrel came by yesterday morning and saw Tony in his "home". He got a branch eye-level with Tony and barked loudly for several minutes to his face. That squirrel was very mad!

I picked up a new knitting project last night, Lion Brand's ripple shawl here. I'm making it in lime green. I had a hard time picking out what color I wanted. They had pretty shades of red, black, purple, blue, and green. Stef found a knitter's journal at the Hancock's. It's on my Christmas wish list. I joined a prayer shawl knitting group. I should be receiving the shawl in about a month.

Isaac just woke up. He was still more than half asleep. Here's our conversation:Him: "Is today the 28th?"Me: "Yes."Him: "Is there school today?"Me: "No, it's Saturday."Him: "Okay."Me: "Go back to bed."Then he wandered back to his room like a zombie.

I just finished this purse. It's ready to take with me on the KC trip next weekend. I stayed up until 11pm sewing on the lining, handles, and button. I wanted to make a pocket or two but decided that was too complicated for me right now. The handle choice at Hobby Lobby was very limited. Here's the lining. You'll have to trust me. It really does match the yarn. The camera makes it look

I just finished this hat over the weekend. The knitting part only took a week, but I had to wait until I had time to make a trip to the knitting shop to get some help piecing it together. The directions didn't make sense to me. It's supposed to have a matching scarf. I'm not sure if I'll make it.

I finally finished knitting my first sock!Here's a couple of pictures: This is me wearing my new, handmade sock. It's very comfy. A little bigger than I'd like, but still comfy. I hope it shrinks just a tad when I wash them.Now, I have to make the mate. Can't we just say the sock monster got the other sock?!? Nah, I'd like to be able to wear them. Just remember, I started with a red row.

Hi everyone!This is just a quick note to say my updates here will be few and far between until this semester ends. My work hours changed slightly (for the better) and I have lots to do for my class, plus the kids' afterschool activities are starting up this week, which, sadly, leaves no time for blogging. Jya mata,Tina

I was going to share more zoo photos, but blogger isn't uploading anything this morning. My class is going to be interesting. I just wish it wasn't so late in the evening. The class is full of "older" students like me. The instructor worked in the field for several years. I love having instructors like that. The drive is really relaxing. The school is out in the country. A fox or coyote

We were never interested by the commercials. The tv was on. No one was really watching it.Then, with a passing glance happened from the corner of an eye, the kids and I were hooked on this show.We can't wait for next week's season finale to find out who Kyle XY is. We wish we would have started watching from the beginning of the show.

Since the 100 degree weather finally broke on Sunday, we went on one of our picnic/zoo outings. We picked up Church's chicken, mashed potatoes, and fried okra and found a shady picnic spot to eat. Isaac's playing flag football this fall, so after our lunch, he and Tony tossed the ball around for a while before we moved to the zoo.Despite the cooler temps, it was still hot and very muggy out. We

The giraffe is close to the back fence in this picture. There is a walkway that goes by the exhibit. We skipped it. It was on our way our and we were tired and hot.This is the Maasai Village. It's fairly new to the zoo.Okay, time for one of those bad jokes. How do you know a train came by here? .................. It left it's tracks.Choo Choo!! Wave at the train everyone.Here's a tortoise.

We're back at the front of the zoo. The kids and I are in front of the earth. The ball amuses everyone passing by. I've never seen anyone walk by without at least passing a hand across the earth or watching others trying to move it in different directions. The ball sits in a pool of water that makes it spin. We can spend a lot of time playing here if we wanted to.We're walking past the gift

I can't wait for my new cell phone to get here. Mine is on it's last limb. The antenna barely stays on and I have to charge it almost every night.Yesterday started out as one of those "blah" days. We watched National Lampoon's Vacation. The last 30 minutes of it, when they're finally at Wally World, is my favorite part.Then, Tony took me shopping. We bought clothes for the Isaac and me. I

I did Tae Bo tonight. I never made it to the instruments.I have 2 inches of the sock knitted. I have 4 more inches to go before I get to the next step.The chiropractor visit Thursday went very good. My back is getting better with each visit. I really wish I found out about this a long time ago. I could stay on the roller bed all evening if they'd let me. Five minutes goes by way too

I have to make this quick. It's really time for me to get ready for work. I did a little blogging this morning. It was nice to get to visit other blogs again.We had a surprise storm last night. The wind started howling right around bedtime. It rained last night and this morning. My throat is extremely sore this morning. I'm sure I have a slight fever also. It's been getting better the

I went to work.Then, I knitted and knitted and knitted. The ribs of the first sock are almost done. I can't wait to see what I do next. I try not to look ahead so I don't get confused or scared. One stitch at a time. I'm having lots of fun with my double pointed needles! It's like the difference between a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle and a 1000 piece one.I did Tae Bo, just the upper body

BINGO!!!I got both of the double sided needles I needed, 1's and 3's.And, they're bamboo needles!That knitting shop is wonderful!! The 1's look like long toothpicks. I'll have to be careful to not break them. I did a little swatch and it looks so cuuuute.I'm a happy knitter again.

I found yarn for my socks yesterday. The colors match my flip flops pictured below. The store didn't have the right sized needles. Size 1 double pointed and circulars are hard to find. I went to another store today and they don't carry them also, but I bought another skein of yarn (red, grey, and white) for another pair of socks. It had a different sock pattern than the ones I have.I called

My new flip flops came in this week. They are very, very comfortable. They have little bumps that massage your feet. It's like walking on a pillow top mattress. I wish I could wear them to work.

Wow, working full work weeks is hectic. I've been taking days off here and there and haven't worked 2 full weeks in a row in quite some time now. It's hard going back to that. When's my next day off? I think it will be Labor Day.I knitted last night. The mittens are coming along very well. I got to use the stitch holders for the first time. That was exciting! I'm working on the thumb

Here are some pictures from last weekend's girls' sleepover in Kansas City. We stayed at my mother-in-law's cousin, Pat's, house. It was lots of fun. There was constant talking and laughing and good food and some dancing. We did the Hokey Pokey rock style, the Mexican Hat dance, The Hustle, and a few others. My sister-in-law, Ava, and Pat taught us a little belly dancing.This is Ava with her

My work arranged a free 10 minute massage last week and then offered a free office visit. I went and found my spine is out of alignment in 1 spot and the curve in my neck is gone. This is what's been causing the soreness in my right shoulder and mid to lower back. It's something they can help. I had my first adjustment Tuesday night. I was fine until 5am the next morning, when I woke up in
