Here is what Redskins Fans put up with. So we lost, we expected it, but not this bad, guess we deserve it!!!

Chilly Weather

The fall weather set in today reaching only a high of 56 degrees, burrrhhh! One week we complain its too HOT AND now its chilly chilly --- almost want to turn the heat on but not yet. I did have the heat on the car on today, it was a little chilly running errands today so I turned it on to get the chill out of the car. Its suppose to rain the next 2 days, yuck!

Babysitting

I tell you what, babysitting when your not use to it really can be hard work,I watched my neighbors nephew today -he's about 15 mos old and boy! I'm not use to that, into everything I tell you what.

But I learned real quick..........thank goodness for BLUES CLUES & SESAME STREET!!!!

AS the photo shows, instant change -he was totally glued to the TV all afternoon.

Fall is here!

We hope fall is here, been trying to get in the mood for Halloween but just can't......its too warm out, its reaching the 80's today and humid, gosh! when will that word HUMID go away? probably never. We have a few chilly days the past week but nothing major. Its still hot hot hot! the evenings have been nice, I could deal with the 70's all year round but when Halloween hits us in 2 weeks I sure hope there is a chiLL in the air or it just won't seem like Halloween.

I can't believe its been over a week since I blogged, shame on me!!!!

What a Weekend

What a weekend........Friday night Taylor had a school dance so we just hung at home while she went there. Really did nothing at all Friday night, watched TV and that was basically it, went to bedtime early.

Saturday morning she went to her dad's. And Steve and I headed out to do some errands, we ordered some tshirts for his business so him and Kyle have some work shirts and some advertisement too. They are to be red shirts, and I cannot wait for them to wear them, but they said it could be 2 weeks.
After that we headed to the campground to visit some friends Rick and MeL, we got there and all the friends that were suppose to be there with them didn't show.........we hung out with them from like 12noon til about 8pm that night after a bit a few other friends showed up to camp with them thru the night but we decided to leave and come home, just wasn't into camping overnight this weeKend, mostly cause its TOTALLY TOO HOT --today reached 90 degrees they say.

We came home Sat. night went for a few drinks and today we ended up picking up my scrapbook supplies from a local consignment saLe I joined in, and then headed off to the REDSKINS FAN CLUB to watch the game. We hung out, did the usual President duty's we had to do since Steve is the president of the club --had a few sodas and some fries and then went to our local hangout Red Rock for some chicken and a soda. No beer, yeah! I was proud of ourself. Normally we have a few beers at the club and all while watching the game, but the last 2 visits we just drank soda.........although you can onLy drink so many sodas untiL you get sick of 'em.
The chicken by the way was broasted chicken and so so good.

We came home and Steve went bowling, I'm hanging out myself and trying to catchup on computer things, emails/orders, etc. Now its hot and I'm sitting here sweating, we turned the AC back on upstairs but we're trying to hang in there down here for a few days --- I'm so tired of the AC's...........where is faLL?

Well, guess that was our weekend, Taylor is staying at mom's tonight (no school tomrrow) so its just us, doing nothing.

Yard Art Landscapers

Yes, I met my goaL yesterday and actually baked, yikes! I made my PAULA DEEN'S MAC N' CHEESE and it turned out ok, I did think it needed more flavor......maybe some stewed tomatoes with it next time would have been good. Some sweeetned stewed tomatoes, oh yum! I did add more cheese that the recipe called for but only cause I'm a cheezy person......

I need to visit her website more often now that I'm at home and Steve is starting to work longer days. So I can cook now and bake.

Now onto YARD ART LANDSCAPERS, what is it? Its a business Steve is trying to start, you can view his website at www.yardartlandscapers.com and to tell you the truth, the 4.99 a month fee we pay for his site, has already paid off. He has had 2 jobs already from his site. He went to both yesterday and did free estimates and boom! he has 2 jobs lined up now. I think he's very excited. He has a helper working with him now. He's doing mostly bed renovations, flower beds, mulching and small yard work. Nothing major yet.
His one job is in Manheim (Lancaster) now with a small apt.complex and may lead to regular maineteance (spelling is wrong on that one I know) come spring. He's doing an initial cleanup for this customer now.

Mulching is what he's doing most of.......he enjoys it, he is currently doing a job in Loganville and the couple is simply tickled about his work. He has right now 1 current job he's working on and has 4-5 lined up. He'll be busy the next 3 weeks........and I'm glad, cause maybe this will give us some catchup and allow us to live like normal people now. Meaning staying caught up on bills with no problem. That's another goaL of ours.

Need some mulching or small yard work done in York or Lancaster, give us a caLL!!!!

My GoaL Today is.........

My goaL today is to make some homemade mac 'n cheese, I'm going to steaL the recipe from PAULA DEEN's recipe......it looks so good and to add SOUR CREAM? yum, cannot wait, I'm off to the store to get some Sour Cream, everything else is on hand............

Wish me Luck......

Just SmiLe Today

I thought this was so cute, so I'm blogging today so you SMILE!

70s Party Pictures

I hope this slideshow works so you can view what an awesome time we had at the 70's Party last night, boy did we have a great time. My legs are kiLLing me this morning and my feet too --dancing in those platform type shoes from the 70's definitely gives someone a workout, we danced from 9pm thru 1:00a.m. until we finally tired out and came home. What some great pictures.

Enjoy.......

FaLL SoftbaLL

We are starting games for FaLL SoftbaLL, its getting to be cooLer weather now and I can tell fall ball is ready to start, we have double headers each time we play, which makes for a long long day.

We have 2 games today starting at 2:00 ---it'll be almost 6:00 til we get home, it'll be a long afternoon but the weather looks nice, in the high 70's and not hot at all. I'm looking forward to sitting in the sun today watching TayLor play 2 games. Good Luck!

the 70s Party

Well this week we are preparing for a 70s party this Saturday at our local hangout, I cannot wait, its going to be so much fun.

Steve is dressing like a 70'S HIPPIE, and I'm going to go DISCO 70'S..........HOW FUN!

He already has his costume and wig, I just have to prepare mine, I have an idea just gotta get out and get the rest of the accessories which is all I need.
I cannot wait to take pics, it'll be so much FUN!

Summer Like Weather

Wow! what a wierd 2 days we are experiencing, its like summer. Humid and hot. Although its only 84 degrees today, its hot! Guess we're getting a taste of summer-like weather. Which is nice but tomorrow 86 and humid. And it figures a day we are having a few friends over for some drinks and entertainment. Never fails, its always hot when we plan something outside.

By Sunday its suppose to be in the low 80's and more like fall weather. I'm anxious to get the decor out for fall, pumpkins/scarecrows and more. Before we know it, Halloween will be here.

Craig's List

I didn't know what to blog about except its been a cooL weekend and a cooL past few days, which I totally am enjoying after the hot weather we had the past week!

Craigs List is awesome......I've been listing alot of items for sale on Craig's List and sold 2 items so far in 1 day. wow! Maybe its better than ebay, although probably not.
www.craigslist.com is the website, check it out!

You can list by your STATE & CITY, and everyone who contacts you is mostly local. They can come pick the stuff up, no shipping unless they choose to ship and its free! I think I'm going to be listing alot more stuff on there to sell.......check it out!

In Memory of 9-11

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows I didn't forget 9-11..........I can remember 6 years ago sitting in my living room while Taylor was outside waiting for the bus to arrive, Steve was standing on the front porch (thinking he was laid off work, which is not surprising) anyways, and the TODAY SHOW was interrupted with this horrifying incident. The Twin Towers were hit by a plane, Steve and I were in shock for the next many many hours just watching the TODAY SHOW and broadcast news as everyone in this nation was all day and the rest of the week.............

In Memory of all 9-11 victims.........you are not forgotten!

the View

Every morning I normally watch the view, although lately I haven't been too tuned in due to Rosie leaving, I just love her, I think she is very well spoken and just tells you how it is, and that's me too.

Yesterday they announced that Sherri Shepherd is going to be the new co-host and I'm so happy. I just like her. She's very spirited and very funny! Plus, being a Plus size gal myself I can relate to her in a lot of ways. I look forward to watching more of the VIEW this fall/winter or at least hearing it, as I normally have the TV on while I'm doing computer/work in the next room........I usually take a break here and there and sit for a little bit to catch up on the faces on TV instead of just listening.........

Rachael Ray is another show I'm so excited for new episodes now. She has moved in our area from 10:00a.m. to 2pm now and I'm not used to that, kind of threw me off yesterday when I was wanting to sit for breakfast and watch her at 10:00 and she wasn't there, now I watch her at snack time at 2pm (laugh)

Sherri Shepherd has her own website, you can see her here www.sherrishepherd.com and see who she is! Love her!!!!

Horseshoe Tournament Today

Today is our annual 3rd year HORSESHOE TOURNAMENT, it is so stinkin' HOT outside its unreal.....I'm taking a break from setting up. We have do some yard work yet and we're ready. I'm trying to stay inside as much as possible until 4:00 --hoping by then the shade takes over our yard and it starts to decline in temp's......right now its about 82 or more degrees but humid. Its suppose to reach the high 80's today about 86 they say...........please don't hit 90! fingers cross XXXX. We'll take many photos to share.

a Busy Weekend

I'm just blogging real quick today cause we have a busy 2 days ahead of us, we are having our 3rd annual horseshoe tournament and BBQ this weekend. What a way to end the summer. But did I mention its to be 90 degrees today and tomorrow and that dreaded word I hate HUMID!!!! YIKES!!!

I don't look forward to the heat but today I have some cookin' to do and last minute errands, picking up tables, getting last minute items and a few things here and there.

We plan to have a pretty good crowd this year and hope the heat doesn't keep everyone away! Have a great weekend!

Labor Day Weekend

well, its Labor Day Weekend, nothing special going on. Its been a long week, Steve didn't work at all this week, but plans to have a full week coming up ---- things are tough right now. I was job searching but nothing is appeaLing to me. Even if its part-time.

Taylor is back to school, and so far so good. (I think) She loves her Spanish class. I forsee her starting to talk Spanish and wanting help with that. I took 3 yrs in high school but could not and probably would not talk Spanish to this day. The basics is all I remember.

Labor Day is tomorrow, no special plans. I can remember having a picnic every Labor day when we were younger but seems like we don't do that anymore. Every one is just so busy I guess. We'll probably just make something on the grill tomorrow and call that our Labor day celebration.
We have alot to plan and get ready this week for our Picnic/Horseshoe Tournament on Saturday the 8th.....we have probably 50+ people coming. We have food to make, drinks to buy and preparation in the backyard as far as lawn mowing, weeding and cleanup --- geez! this week will go so fast.

Have a great LABOR DAY EVERYONE!!!

LebFest

Here are some photos from a friends party (read below):


Lots and lots of drinks, what a great time!

Steve and Blake (above) are having a toast to good friends........as the night starts to end.

I don't think I ever shared some photos from our friends Brad & Jess's summer party. They call it LEBFEST always held the 3rd Saturday of July each year....with a band(s), tons of food, drinks and people. Gosh, there is almost 150-200 people throughout the day.



Here are some funs photos to view, this year it was on Sat. July 21st. We had a good time and the weather (for once) was nice, usually its so stinkin' hot, but this year I even wore jeans to the party. What a great time!







What a great time above by the pool, the kids early in the day loved to swim!
Brad, above, is having a good time drinking that bottle............oops! sorry Brad had to show what a good time you had!
