Where the hell are all these flies coming from? I have a crapload of them in my house! I think Paul killed about 8-10 of the little bastards. UGH - I HATE 'em!
Oh man.. they found that poor little 5 year old girl who was missing in California. I can't wait until they catch that bastard. Sick freak.
It is hot today. Bleech.
Hmmmph! Looks like one bottle I purchased is a Wheaton figural bottle. I am trying to figure out when they were produced. I guess I won't be making my millions on Antique Roadshow today!
Back from Wal-Mart. Don't get me started about the damn senior citizens! But, I did find a nice desk lamp for my bedroom for about $20. I didn't see any quilts that I liked though. It's going to be hard, looking for one that I like. We also stopped at the old/new shop and I found a couple neat looking bottles. One is an old glass AVON mouthwash bottle, with the original top. The bottom of the bottle says AVON Breath Fresh Mouthwash. Use full strength in the morning, after meals, before social engagements. ::grin:: I'll have to see what I could sell it for on eBay!
Good morning campers! Had a great day yesterday... I rounded up the kidlets around 4pm and brought them back into the house so I could get dinner started. After dinner, I got to go food shopping by myself! ::happy dance:: I managed to spend about $122 on basics.. like ketchup, paper towels, produce, etc.. Paul took the kidlets into the pool while I was out and managed to get them all tired out. After they were in bed, Paul was playing with our scanner and trying to capture some images he had on paper. Our scanner is pretty outdated - especially by current standards. Just 600x1200 and I *think* 30 bit color. I saw an article about some of the new Epson scanners being released :::drool::: I want one! Especially this one. Well - Christmas is coming.... Paul had made an appointment for Tru-Green (lawn service) to come and give us an estimate. Our lawn is pathetic. . I had just gotten up and was walking into my living room when I heard my screen door open. Scared the crap out of me - I thought someone was breaking in my house! Turns out it was Dom. He got here at 810am ::yawn:: Heck, we were still sleeping when he arrived. We didn't have to be home (or awake! LOL!) when he arrived so he wrote up the estimate. Pretty reasonable - and we need to do SOMETHING. Our lawn is begging for help!

Oh my gosh - it is SO nice outside. I just steppped inside to get the kids some ice pops and jump online super quick. Sun, comfy chair and Harry Potter are calling me back outside... Ciao!
EW! Got this link from Quinn. I can't believe I did it!
Ok - I fixed the gallery link. NOW, you are able to check out my pictures!
Just got back from the butcher shop - Bruno's. God - I love that place. Next time, I am going to buy some steaks... they look SO good. YUMMY!
Can anyone get to my photo gallery? Does the link work?

Paul is watching a show on HBO with Ray Liotta and John Leguizamo. It's about a pyromaniac - Point of Origin. I am totally freaked out - I can't imagine how a person is able to do such a thing to another living thing.
I have been shredding more papers. Ugh. I swear, I have to get more organized!
I have been working in the house all day.. Oy.. am I tired!
I am uploading some really nice shots from yesterday's party and the fair. Check them out here!
Ok, ok, I'll jump on the bandwagon...here's my blogchalk Google! DayPop! This is my blogchalk: English, United States, New Jersey, Manahawkin, Kate, Female, 31-35!
C'mon people.... just $25 more dollars will bring Erin to her minimun amount so she can walk! Donate til it hurts... then donate some more!
I am so stinkin' tired! Miss Olivia woke up no less than 5 times last night... between 330am and 445am. I didn't get to bed until 2am! Poor kid, I have NO idea why she was up so much ::sigh:: but she seems pretty perky this morning. ::yawn:: At least someone does!
Been playing with my template. Whaddya think? Be honest - but gentle!

We had a GREAT day today. I have a bunch of pictures that I need to upload (from Friday and today). We visited my Dad and StepMom today. We all had a great time. It was nice to see my niece again. I gave them a copy of the girls portrait (the one from the fair). I didn't have time to get it framed but they will be dropping it off at a shop near them to have it professionally framed (it's 13x17) and I will pay for it. We left around 645 and made it home by 730pm. Bath, meds, books and bed. 9pm - turned on the Robin William special on HBO. I laughed my ASS off. In fact, I laughed so hard that I had an asthma attack. His description/re-enactment of a colonoscopy exam was priceless. A narrative of a "Viagra Moment" caused me to cry from laughing so hard. So now - the special is over. My hands are all jittery from my asthma inhaler. Nothing like a few shots of albuterol to make a person all shaky! Wheee! I need to work on the photographs.. will try to update later!
