Today me and JP wanted to get away so we went to our local hang out. We played darts and for the first time in his life he hit a dead center bulls eye! I was soooooo impressed! I have never seen this before in my life, even though I played in the WA state [...]
About a month ago I made reservations for 3 nights at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort in Corpus Christi, TX for the 4th of July weekend. I actually wanted to book a 2 night stay but there was a 3 night minimum. We were looking forward to spending our July 4th weekend in a Gulf of Mexico view [...]
About 99% of the time when I leave for work in the morning I am wearing flip flops. Pretty much everyday I grab the shoes I intend on wearing that day (if they are not already in the car), a pair of socks (if needed), and I slip on my flip flops and fly out [...]
Today we had one of our laziest days in a long time. We spent a lot of time on the couch. First we watched BeetleJuice then Edward Scissorhands then part of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and then Avatar! I think we needs days like this more often.
Today we went floating on the Comal River. After you first get on the river you float for awhile until you hit the first tube shoot. J9 and Lily Pad were both so nervous about the shoot. Hours… and I am not kidding hours after J9 went through the shoot I saw this picture. You can [...]
Here is the Furies softball team! The Furies was originally formed as a family softball team. Then a few non-family people joined, specifically me, Cathy and Rickey that I know about. Last night one of the teams we played was also a family team and it got me thinking. What if my family had a [...]
We bought a new to us car today! We have been looking and looking and today was the day! What kind of car do you think I got? Here are a few clues: This is me and the front quarter panel. Don’t let the Mazda sign in the background fool you.. it is a trick. [...]
Today JP and me went car hunting after work. We went to every car dealer in San Antonio; Ford, Chevy, Mazda, VW, Nissan, Chrylser, Isuzu … and everything in between. We learned a lot. A lot about what is out there and what options are available and for how much. Not only did I get in touch [...]
In true domestic goddess style I decided to mix it up a little bit with dinner tonight. Us eating the peaches from Das Peach Haus in Fredricksburg, TX yesterday made me want to try new things with peaches. Since we were already going to be grilling I decided that a grilled peach would be interesting. I [...]
Here is a picture that Vanessa sent me today of Isabel in her cast. Red is her FAVORITE color and she was very excited that they had red. They pretty much have all the colors to choose from. Good news is that she only has to wear it for 3 weeks! It should come off on July 9th.
It is no secret that it is pretty hot in Texas. Actually no it is really hot! But do you wanna know what else is really freakin hot? The inside of a parked car. Did you know that a car’s interior will heat up by an average of 40º F within one hour of being parked? Even [...]
Last week we decided that we are going to try to visit a different town in Texas every Sunday for the entire summer. This weeks choice was Luckenbach, TX. I am sure that everyone has heard the song… ♪♫…let’s go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys… ♪♫ Last year for his birthday [...]
We went to the book store today and I told Lily she could pick out a book. What a decision! She walked up and down that shelf a lot of times. She finally made a decision and then we were able to leave the store!
I played my first two games of softball today on a new team in a new league. The team name is “Furies”. When I first saw the shirts I asked them what a “fur-ee” was, ha ha. They said there is a movie I need to watch that will explain it all. I can’t recall at [...]
My niece Isabel who lives in Michigan broke her arm yesterday. They didn’t know it was broken until today when Vanessa took her to the doctor. Here is a picture that Vanessa took of the sling that she has to wear until her appointment at the UofM to get her cast put on.
I was in the drive-thru at Starbucks today and it got me thinking. Most of you are probably wondering what BofC is? A few of you already know but I am going to tell you again. When I first starting seeing JP he would send me a picture of his coffee cup every morning. Seem [...]
We had to go get JP’s truck from the airport parking today. This is a picture I took to let him know we did it! And he took this picture while he was on his layover today… Vegas Baby!!
I went for a run today and it reminded me that I never did a follow up to the running shoe posting. A bunch of you guys were right. I bought the pink Asics. But believe it or not I bought them for support and not for color or style!
When I was growing up there was a swing kinda like this one on our front porch. Ask anyone who knew us back then and I guarantee they can tell you at least one memory about sitting out on the front porch at our home. In a little over a month I will have my [...]
We like Lone Star on hot Sundays! Check out my Lone Star shirt!
We are headed out to Bandera, TX: Cowboy Capital of The World. Here is me and J9 messing around with the iPhone camera.
I can’t tell you how how I know, but I do know that the players on the San Antonio Spurs have their own personalized luggage. I took this picture today! This is a picture of Iam Mahinmi’s suitcases. We also saw lots of shoe boxes.. he wears a size 14 shoe. J9 tried on his [...]
… how many people can you fit in the trunk of a Grand Marquis? For now, only two!
For various reasons J9 aka: Janine, aka: my niece, aka: Lily’s cousin, aka: my brothers daughter, aka: full time student at WWU, aka: milkshake monkey, aka: Janini Panini is living with us for the summer. I am sure she will be showing up in pictures of the day for next few months. Here is a [...]
Thanks to my favorite computer geek in the whole world I got a new computer today! The last one I had started acting funny and the keys didn’t type what they were suppose to! p.s. Check out J9′s new website at www.j9rocks.com it is under construction but will end up pretty cool!
Tonight JP and me were driving down Bitters Road and I asked him to turn down a road we never turn down. I showed him a magical place that I recently discovered called Hill Country Village. This is a neighborhood that I would love to live in! As we drove around we saw lots and [...]
As of this moment I am officially the bravest person that I know of today! It all started a couple days ago I saw a wasp that kept flying in between some bricks on the outside of our house. We don’t have wasp spray but we do have bug spray so I sprayed the brick [...]
Today is day 30 of my new smoke free lifestyle! JP sent flowers and balloons to my work to remind me of how proud he is! As usual he knows exactly what kind of flowers to send! Thanks JP!!
Ok so this is cheating.. this picture was not taken by me, and most certainly not taken today… actually I am pretty sure it was not taken at all. It’s kinda funny because I would say that Mondays are the one day I can make it through the whole day without ever thinking about what the picture of the [...]
I totally think that JP and me are the tannest people we know right now. This is due to the pool in the backyard and the sun that shines from the sky here in San Antonio, TX. The guys in weatherland told us our heat index for today was suppose to be over 100°! Yikes!! [...]
Back in April I did a posting about our pet goldfish. Since then I have learned that the reason algae grows in water fountains is because of the direct sunlight. Today it was time to clean the fountain… here is a before picture. Can you believe there are fish living in that water! That is [...]
Sometimes I post things to this website via my iPhone. This is one of those times. Riding in the truck on the way to the grocery we were messing with the camera on the phone and this one made us laugh!
Lily had her last day of 1st grade today. I totally meant to take her picture when I picked her up from the after school program but I forgot!
I was told that quitting smoking would make me hungry. They were right. I am always hungry. A snack here, a snack there, a meal here, another snack…OMG! I decided it is time to start running again. I have been thinking about starting up again for awhile now but so far I have found ways [...]
I have a few websites that I like to visit pretty much daily, www.failbook.com is one of them. Although I think people might post fake stuff sometimes just to get on there, I believe that some of it is real. I laughed so hard when I saw this one! Hit me with your pet shark!
Here is a picture of our dinner tonight. Cut everything up into bite size pieces and enjoy. This is especially fun if there are only two for dinner!
