Couch 47.0 (we finally debugged)

Granite...that is AWESOME! I am going to be watching it frequently.

Moving slowly this morning...stiff drink last night set me back a bit. lol. It was worth it though. Hopefully hitting the local dog park today, and the organic farm as well. It's a beautiful sunny day, and the lake is beckoning. I can't wait until it's warm enough to kayak around and check it out.

hubby has said that it isn't officially up for the public yet and they still have some tech problems to work out so it will run a bit better in the future.

that sounds like fun wiki.

i have watched the falcons all last year .it is awsome to watch mom and dad even take care of the eggs and eat and so on .it even has sound so you can hear them screaching to each other when they both are around. oh and dad also will sit on the eggs. mom is the bigger bird when you see them together

Wiki....hope you recover from your party "hangover" and have a great day.

Granite...what is your plans for the day? did you work on your trading cards yesterday?

Ready...last week I took my grandson to GAP and hit the clearance rack. Made out like a bandit, cool clothes for great prices.

Morning couch,
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, bread is rising, and laundry is spinning.
It's a better day in sconnieland.

I am making bread for when my mom's friend comes to visit. She is allergic to soy. Do you know how many things have soy in them? I was just about to grease the bread bowl and then looked at my cooking oil - soy! So I switched to grape seed oil that I know is safe.

no i just wasnt motivated. dont know what i am up to yet today .i have cought a cold and am all stuffy and tired so i may just lay down all day.

what you got going on today

I'm having problems finding shorts because my son is at that age (at least for my H and other son went through the same thing) where he has gained some weight... so some brands elastic waist shorts fit but others he needs Husky and its not easy to find cheaply.

i remember that stage with my son grrrrrrr .i think i found a lot at jc penny but it was not cheap at all have you looked at old navy. there cloths seem to run a bit bigger

I'm having a hard time deciding what to do... I have 2 choices...drive 45 minutes to go see my older son's track meet (which my H is already at) or stay home and get some very much needed things done around the house ..like taking last year's clothes to the used clothing store to see if I can get any cash for them.... dropping off stuff at goodwill...getting my younger son a hair cut, clothes shopping... sandals, etc.

I know my older son wants me to come. I am spending Sunday and Monday with him on a college road trip to near Rochester NY... this is why I need to get stuff done now. His event is a 2 mile race so it won't last long but its a long drive for a short race..

I always feel guilty when I can't be everywhere.

i would get what i need to get done done so you wont have to worry about it in your travels

ughhh.... sometimes I could just scream....so I sent my H a text about not coming to the meet...and how I feel bad about it and he sent back this text:
"I think its fine if you don't come. We can't be everywhere all the time. As long as one of us can do these events I think that's good. I wouldn't feel bad."

It makes me so angry because H is always the one that gets to go because he has no responsibilities (in his own head) he can go to every track meet...except the frickin christmas lights are still up... the lawn hasn't been mowed...the lawn mower hasn't been serviced or blade sharpened and there is still an unfilled whole in the backyard where the propane tank was removed last fall...

start a honey do list for him . but i do think it important that someone go to your sons meets. maybe set up a schedule of who gets to go

I like the idea of setting up a schedule of who gets to go...

Granite I'm trying to have boundaries with my H... and I'm currently refusing to be his mother... there are certain responsibilities that have been his since we have been homeowners (16 years). One of those is that he does things that require a ladder...like Christmas lights and replacing light bulbs in the overhead lighting fixtures. He is also responsible for mowing. So Christmas comes and goes every year and spring mowing season comes every year and the only light in the toilet section of our bathroom has been out for 4 months... these are things he should notice or know he needs to do. I refuse to ask him to do it.

When I get tired of it eventually I will call a mowing service and charge it to his credit card... I will ask my son to take down the christmas lights... and I will ask my son to do the bathroom light...

He just proves to me over and over again how unreliable he is.

maybe it is just me but i dont think asking him to do these things is being his mother. i honestly think i would hit the roof if my hubby didnt get these things done . but he does them. i tend to be the one who takes my time getting things done unless my husband asks me to. if he asks me to do something i do it because i know it is important to him . like the dinner he asked me to cook thursday.lol what a pain.

do you think he really knows these things are bothering you if you have not asked him to get them done??? i know with me sometimes i think that other people should just know (especially hubby)these things . but then find out that he has had no clue it was bothering me .and maybe he thinks it is ok with you to not have these things done if you didn't say anything.

please don't be angry at me if i said anything you find offensive .i hope i didn't i love ya bunches but sometimes say things wrong .i do completely understand how frustrating it can be . especially if it seems to go along with other more personal issues like not taking your feelings into consiteration when driving and so on.

Granite...you could never make me angry. I like hearing yours and others thoughts about things...

check it out dad is around

W.E.B. Du Bois Falcons

never mind the camera is acting up again and dad has left .it cant be fixed untill monday

YAY hubby wants to be outside this weekend so i convinced him to build me a raised herb garden on the side of the house yummmm

Morning all getting ready to head home. Have a great day!

Ooh! Can you convince my hubby to build one for me? LOL

Well I guess it's trying to be summertime in the desert already LOL - it's HOT in my house this morning, but hubby is in bed under 3 blankets saying he's cold. Hmm, maybe I should sit down for a few minutes and I'll cool off - I woke up naturally, early for a saturday, so I hate to waste the 'extra' time, so I've already vacuumed the house and done 2 loads of laundry. Yeah, maybe I just need to take a break and I will cool off hahaha

maybe a cool break would be good
