Things I love about my husband:

-he fills in as many squares in sudoku as I need and never rubs it in my face
-he tells Hershey how pretty she is
-he appreciates the Golden Girls as much as he should
-he uses the word pressie because he knows I love it.
-he buys a Foster's and splits it with me
-he loves me without makeup and in sweatpants
-he snuggles the cat sometimes
-he understands how big of a deal birthdays are to me and accepts it (and plays along)
-he never says anything when I come home with flowers or a plant for the kitchen
-he's okay with Hershey's pink collar and harness.
-he knows how much better it is to drive the Jeep than any other vehicle
-he hangs my kayak on the wall and his goes on sawhorses

Keith Lennex is a fine husband and I love him very much!

Busy busy busy

Got lots to do before we come home next week!! Laundry, packing, house cleaning.

Luckily I have three days off before we leave next Thursday!!!

I am sooooo excited to come home, we haven't been back since Christmas!!

Okay, enough with the exclamation points. There will be enough of those on Facebook.

oops!

The neighbor is mad at us because we parked the boo in front of her house.

Listen up, girlfriend.

1- You do not own the street. So suck it.
2- Yes, I understand if I park IN FRONT OF your mailbox when they are delivering mail you won't get yours. But I didn't, and you did.
3- AGAIN, YOU DO NOT OWN THE STREET.
4- It won't hurt you to walk the 15 or so feet to the end of your driveway to get the mail out of the box.

I don't do well with irrational people. If you ask me nicely, I will deal with you nicely, but I'm still not going to turn my life upside down. If I need to park in front of your house for an hour and a half, in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, I AM GOING TO.

Look at that, the neighbor made my hearburn flare up. Now I'm angry.

Madhouse!!

Keith worked the races at Bowman Gray last night... Normally no big deal except apparently Madhouse on the History channel is a bigger deal than we thought!

He said that there were so many people there, even before the race started (which is unusual) and even though it was going to rain (not unusual-these fans are nuts!).

They did an announcement trying to figure out who came from farthest away-- the couple who came from Oregon won. Oregon!!! If Keith tried to get me to go to the west coast for a car race I think I... I really don't know what I'd do besides laugh at him!

Haven't posted in a few days...

Not too much to say!!

Softball this week was in the rain, but make up games are at nine thirty so I think I'd rather play in the rain! We still haven't won any games but we came close last night (9-10).

We're starting to get some rain which is good because its getting some of the pollen out of the air.

I will post photos of the flowers I planted soon--they're starting to get fuller and grow taller. But maybe I'll wait until the clematis blooms. We'll see!

Slow weekend...

Nothing really to say. No projects, no accomplishments.

I am COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS until we come home (19). This is one of the longest stretches we've gone without coming home. Luckily we'll be home for three whole days, so we'll have time to do all the things we want and time to visit all the people we need to see.

I am so excited to come home and see Baby Bella, to see our family and friends, and to escape the POLLEN! You wouldn't believe how crazy the pollen is here. I noticed the other day that there was dust on the computer screen, which is weird because I've been really good about dusting. And then I realized it was GREEN! The pollen is in the HOUSE!!!! Its so thick on the car you can write in it, and Keith rinsed both vehicles off yesterday. Gross.

We still need as many prayers about the house as possible, so keep them coming, and also PLEASE remember to vote for our friend Daniel in the America's Most Wanted All Star contest. Its so easy, you don't have to sign up for anything, and it literally takes less than 1 minute.

Not a lot to say today...

The Summer of No Pants

I have decided to forgo pants for the next few months. I am using the word "summer" loosely, because this is really an April-October thing. Reasons for this include:

-I hate pants
-I love skirts/dresses.
-I am rad.
-I like to do weird random things and announce them to everyone (and sometimes give them titles).

The summer of no pants (as with most projects I do) also has a little leeway. For example, sweatpants, of course, never count. And weekends count sometimes. And Douglas Lake doesn't count because really? Its cold up there.

Okay, off to make spaghetti.

Its Thursday!

... and I got nothing.

Took me two nights of Icy Hot, Advil, and sleeping pills but I think I have saved my legs! I don't know what I pulled but it hurt like a mother, thats for sure. But, all better now!

Maybe we'll take Hershey to the dog park this weekend. She hasn't been in forever!!

Oh, we got noticed all right

We got noticed into a 20-0 mercy in the third inning.

I only made it up to bat one time, and I pulled something in my legs. I can barely walk.

Ouchie.

because our team is made of misfits and we didn't get shirts...

...I made shirts for me and my super friend Jilly!



Yes, I used puffy paint, and YES I used 80s neon colors. I want us to be NOTICED!

No Reason Long Weekend

I have tomorrow off and am very excited!

Our kayaking plans got put on hold today, so instead we went to Lowe's and bought a bunch of flowers to plant in the front yard. I'm going to spend my extra day off pulling weeds and making the lawn beeeeeautiful (I hope). Its been really hard waiting this long to plant flowers, because its been so nice, but we usually have a last freeze. I think we're past that now so its a flower free for all.

I, of course, picked out all pink flowers. My poor husband, how does he deal with me?

I'll post pictures tomorrow, along with pictures of the softball T-Shirts I plan on making tonight. Unless they look like crap, then I won't.

big weekend plans

I have a lot of plans for us for the weekend, which are:

-KAYAKING!!!! Keith has been once this year but not me yet
-landscaping. I think we are past thee last frost, thank goodness. I need color in my lawn!
-house cleaning, of course. Its the weekend. That just comes with the package.
-creating bangin' t shirts for jilly and myself to wear to softball games.
-painting. I'm itching to do a new one. I'm inspired by pink tulips.

Thank goodness I gave myself a for no reason three day weekend.

Keith looooooves my cupcakes-- he's already had three.

Keith looooooves my cupcakes-- he's already had three.

baking=happy!

I made devil's food cupcakes with strawberry frosting and an oreo on top. What could be better? THE ANSWER IS NOTHING.

Or maybe if they were shaped like shoes.

Or maybe if they had diamonds. But thats it.

Softball!!!

I joined a co-ed softball team at work... Wasn't sure if it was such a great idea once we started practicing. I haven't played softball since the fifth grade (and I wasn't that good then).

I played catcher and did pretty good if I do day so myself. I caught a tipped ball, made BFFs with the ump (sorry Kelly), and hit three for three with two base hits. I would have made a run if someone else hadn't gotten out.

We got whomped- like a billion to five. But it was still really fun. I can't wait for next Tuesday!!

PS Keith is the worlds best cheerleader even though he spent half the game on his phone. Serves me right, when he played I would read in the stands.

Test

testing... Trying to see if I can post from my phone

The girls got eater toys from Grandma and love them very much!!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all!

I hope everyone has a safe, happy, fun Easter filled with good food and great family and/or friends too!

I myself plan on spending the day enjoying the sunshine and cooking. Our feast was originally for two, then three, and now five, so the too much food I thought I had turned out to be just right.

I'll post a picture (unless it looks bad, then I won't, LOL!) ♥

Its been a long time!

Since most people are on facebook now and we've settled in to the South a bit more I quit blogging, but I think its time to bring it back! There is too much to say to fit on a status line on facebook. You all know how much I like to go on and on (and on!)

Spring is here in NC in full force! It went from 50s to 80s in a week, and it seems to be in the 70s from now until it gets hotter!! We're both off next weekend so I think it will be time to plant flowers in the front yard!! I will be sure to post pictures when we're done.

We had a week (well four days) of 80° and higher weather, so Keith went out kayaking without me Thursday. Of course the water was all stirred up (that will teach him to go when I can't!) so he didn't get any fish.

Alright, thats all for now, everyone have a great weekend!
