Life is good

You know, I love the whole Life is Good line. They have the best graphics on their shirts...like these...

But the opposite line, Life is Crap, is pretty funny!

I could have used some of theses...

I might still like to get the dentist one, just on principle. On second thought, he's one of the few people I really wouldn't want to tick off!!!

Sheer bad luck

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

the breakfast club...

Speedy growth

I had no idea that birds grew so fast.


The 1st picture is from 5/17, and the 2nd one is from today! Notice the yummy dinner waiting for them when they wake up...

A couple of them already have their wings!

How much do YOU know?

Think You Know Everything?

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for Blood plasma.

No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times. Oh go ahead...I'll wait...

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes or shark attacks.

You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.

Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty (50) years of age or older.

The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class.

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. (Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you ? That women are going the 'right' direction?)

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning .

Walt Disney was afraid OF MICE!

PEARLS DISSOLVE IN VINEGAR !

And the best for last.... Turtles can breathe through their butts.

More peeps?

As it turns out, there are SIX little peeps! We feel a sense of responsibility for them now. It's weird.

We had a really great weekend. We went out for breakfast, you know I love breakfast.

Went to a couple nurseries and picked out a few things we both liked.

Got all the house chores done.

Saw Mom off for her trip.

Visited a few car dealerships, where I think I've discovered my next car. I like the Ford Edge best, but...cha ching!!! My next fav was the Toyota Scion. Not the sedan, the square one. It's got everything I love about my PT. Pretty cool.

Bought a new electric lawn mower. No, we didn't get an electric mower to be green. We have a small yard and decided it would just be too much of a hassle to have a gas one. We like it already. It's quieter and much lighter than a gas mower. Even I could do it :-) I won't, but I could.

Designed our front yard landscaping!

And Bill totally cleaned out the man cave and took down the Christmas lights!

I am lovin' this awesome Spring weather.

Learning new things

Today at work I found the coolest web-site. It's for creating a survey. You know, when you go to those boring work training sessions or seminars, and you get that stupid survey at the end to fill out? Well, there is a web-site called surveymonkey.com where you can create your very own survey and send it out via email. Everyone you send it to answers it and clicks the 'done' button and you can go back into your account and all the answers are collected for you! It's pretty neat. You can make up your own questions or a template is provided.

Other than that newly discovered fun thing, today is dragging. I have a terrible case of eye boogers, which is REALLY annoying.

I want to go home and see the babies. From what I've read, they will be ready to leave the nest in 2 weeks. They must grow pretty fast, I'll have to keep an eye on them or I will miss it! Oh, and they're called, Carolina Wrens. Last night, Bill was working in the man cave and he said the mama bird just kept flying in and out, presumably with tasty treats for the peeps.

The best part of the day so far is...I'm not sleepy!!!! I think I've discovered that it's the allergy medication that is making me sleepy, so I didn't take it today. I guess I'll find out later if that's it or not. Oh, and the other funny thing today, happened to me when I was leaving the house this morning. I got in the car and started to pull out of the driveway when I noticed 3 checkered flags in the flower bed. Man he's funny. He teases me all the time about decorating for every little thing but he saw those race flags in the garage last night and stuck them out in the flower bed. (the Indy 500 is right around the corner) Thanks for playing honey!!!

We have babies!!!

Click on the baby pictures to see a close up!

*sigh*

Tonight is the season ending of LOST.
I don't mind their format, doing the whole season back to back, like 24. But dang...waiting 9 months for the new season is the pits! It seems like such a long wait, but it gets here before I know it and then I realize how fast the time is flying by and that's followed by the recognition that I'm getting old. RATS!

Also today, I have 2 hours at the dentist to look forward too. AGH!
I'm not afraid it will hurt, but just the thought of 2 hours at the dentist! Ick.

And our little mama bird is still nesting, no peeps yet. From what I've read, they should be cracking out of their eggs this week sometime.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Mother's come in all shapes and sized...

Remember the for the birds post?

See the little eggs? You can see 2 but there are 3 of theme

And there's the mama. Nice little cozy home she's got there!

Other interesting things this week....

This week, the oldest living dog in the world celebrated it's 21st birthday. Previously, the oldest living dog was a Beagle mix who died when he was 28!!! Whoa.

It's Voracious Brew week in Seattle.

It was Teacher Appreciation Week.

If you’re creative, you just might be psychotic: (gee, that's great news)

Indianapolis has had 11 inches of rain since March 1st. It's so pretty out there!


And check this out;

A child plays in the surf just south of Santa Barbara, California. The shore is made red from the flames of an out-of-control fire in the area. The blaze has consumed dozens of houses, injured several firefighters and forced more than 30 thousand to evacuate their homes. Aaaaaand, in case you need a nudge ~ Don't forget your Moms on Sunday!!! ~

Names; part 2

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER

Move over, baby Emily. Emma is the new top name among baby girls, ending Emily's 12-year reign.

Jacob remained king among the boys in 2008, his 10th straight year at the top, the Social Security Administration said Friday.

Biblical names dominate the top choices for boys while popular culture appears to have influenced some of the girls' names.

Emma debuted in the top 10 in 2002, the same year that Jennifer Aniston's character on "Friends" gave the name to her TV show baby. In the latest lineup, Emma was followed by Isabella, Emily, Madison and Ava.

The top five boys names remained unchanged from 2007. Jacob was followed by Michael, Ethan, Joshua and Daniel.

Little else changed among the top 10 for either sex. Alexander joined the top 10 at No. 6, while Andrew dropped out. Among the girls, Chloe inched her way up to No. 10 while Hannah dropped out.

Happy Odd Day!

No, not like for odd people ~ for odd numbers.

Today's Odd Day Is 1 In 6 Per Century

Prepare to be challenged by your mathematical skills today as you may be asked by friends and teachers about your knowledge of odd day. Indeed, today, 5/7/09 is the Odd Day, which happens only six times per one hundred years.
This is the third odd day of the 21st century, one in six. The reason it's called an Odd Day is because it features three consecutive odd numbers: 05/07/09.

What will they think of next. Why didn't they call it Primary Numbers Day? Is there such a thing as Even Day, I wondered out loud. Hmmmm. You could Goggle it, but you won't find it (coach). There is no such thing. Well, there is, but it's not actually news worthy. I think that's discriminatory. Odd Day must have been presented to odd news people by an odd person to get such odd attention. Don't you think? I like being odd occasionally, but I'm more fond of even numbers myself. My birthday is on an even number (odd year). I got married on an even number (odd year).

Ewwwwww, this is getting creepy!

What's in a name...

I see a lot of names, all day long, at work. Some folks have pretty wacky names. That whole inappropriate email address thing is a choice, but having a wacky name isn't. So...here's some tips for what NOT to name your kid;

If your last name is Stein, don't name your son Frank Newel.
If your last name is Flower, don't give your daughter a name like Rose or Daisy.
If your last name is Brown, it's not funny or even clever to name your son Charlie.
And you might think you're a comedic genius, but if your last name is Martin and you name your kid Rowen, you're just dumb. Same goes for those people who name their kids Prince, Charles or King, James. Really, that's SO not cute anymore.

Does anybody like the dentist???

Seriously. Okay, I have to admit, I really do like my dentist. My motto used to be, if it doesn't hurt, I'm not going. Now, I go faithfully ever six months. He's the BEST! As a matter of fact, I've been going to him since 1995 and I am no longer afraid to go. He's gentle and kind. He has a good sense of humor and he probably loves me ~ I'm paying for at least 1 of his 3 kids college education! Aaaand, even though he doesn't have to anymore, he still calls me the day after I've had work done, to see if I'm doing okay.
Even so, I still don't like having dental work done. I guess it's not so much the pain now as it is the money. Good grief. Plus, it's never easy for me. It's never just a filling. (rolling my eyes) It's always a crown. Maybe I have 6 or 7 teeth that are still natural. I HATE MY TEETH! My man has ONE cavity his whole entire life. Why is that fair? Huh? Why? Well, it's NOT. Grrrrrrrr. Do you know how much a crown costs?????? And there is no such thing as good dental insurance anymore. *sigh*

Todays happy thought is

Do I really need to say anything? *sigh*
