Abundant sunshine!

As I was watching the weather channel yesterday waiting on Natasha to pick me up to meet Mom at Taco Casa for lunch, the outlook for yesterday and today was "abundant sunshine". I have never quite heard it put that way. Usually it is lots of sunshine, plenty of sunshine, but never abundant sunshine. There was abundant sunshine yesterday and there has been so far today. But I also think of the abundant sunshine in my life....great husband, great parents, great friends, great fellowship at lunch today, great blessings in our lives that we tend to not think about on a daily basis. Abundant blessings is what we have and should be greatful daily for them. Just a little rambling on my part today. Did a little work outside after we came back from church and lunch now I could take a nap, but not sure what I am going to do. The guy Vincent was suppose to meet to pick up a jet ski to work on did not show up, so we did not have to work on a jet ski today like we thought. Good in a way, not so good in a way either, no work, no pay!
Oh well, all is good! Think I will ponder a little more on the abundant sunshine!!!!!

Thank Goodness for Friday....

My Nickypoo!!!!!!! Seems like yesterday that he was dressing up like a army soldier in his camo and climbing trees and running through the wooded area of our house on Williams Road.....where has the time gone. Now he is almost 21 years old, working full time, pretty much settled down with his girlfriend Ashley. Today is Friday and we don't have to work tomorrow, woo-hoo. I am sleeping in, woo-hoo. I don't know how to act.....

Had a regular day today, worked til 3:30, got off, Vincent and I picked up Dakota, ran by Home Depot to get Vincent a new pair of safety glasses. He starts his first official work day tomorrow at RJ Shirley's, his new place of employment. Has to take the tractor-trailer loaded with something to Charleston and pick up a LowBoy to bring back. He and Jamie are going together and following the 250-ton crane, (I think). He is so excited he has not quit talking about it........I am so excited that he is going to be bringing home some money, I can't quite thinking about it!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, going to the mall with Mom tomorrow and then AC Moore to check on some die cuts for her new Cuttlebug die-cutting and embossing machine she has. Might pick up a few scrapbook supplies, since I don't have enough as it is!!!!!!!!!

Toodles.....................

Happy girls!

Take a look at this young, silly pre-teens!!!!!! I can still remember their names l-r, Cindy Richboug, Dawn ?, Barbie Frazier, Judy Patrick, Me, and Anna ?. Wonder where and what these girls are doing? Look at those curtains in the background!!!! and why are Anna and me putting a potato chip in our mouth, what's up with that? I can remember that night so well sitting around that kitchen table eating cake and potato chips. Look at those tuperware tumblers!!!!!!! This was the house on Haverford Drive......

Today was the usual day. Work, get off, come home, sit for a minute, wash a load of clothes, fold a load up, get something to eat, take trash to shop, run by the store to get our 5th gallon of milk, okay, maybe 3rd or 4th! Vincent says it is me drinking it all, I say it is him. I drink one oversized cup of chocolate milk in the morning and maybe a half a glass in the evening. Come home get ready for work the next day, and bed and hit the sack. It is 9:00 pm and I am ready for bed, looooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee to sleep! I tell you I think I was a cat in another life!!!!!! L8tr.....................

Tired, tired, tired.....

This is how I totally feel right now. SOOOOOO TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I was a cat in another life or maybe another 9 other lives!!!!! I can totally relate to this 2 photos. The one of Dakota was taken by Natasha. She was outside her backdoor one night, smoking a cigarette of course, and Dakota wandered out there with her with her blanket. Natasha laid the blanket down on the porch and Dakota crawled up on it and fell completely to sleep, now that is what I am talking about!!!!!! Of course, this is the life of Miss Kitty. Sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, play outside for a "few minutes" and I mean a few minutes, she does not stay out there long, come in and go back to sleep again. I think I am going to go get ready for bed and try that sleep thing myself!

lazy day...

Take a look at you guys, just babies!!!!!!! I guess I was the one taking the picture, but I don't recall ever seeing one of these pictures with me in it...what's up with that?????? Anyway, I am not sure what year this picture was taken, but it is evident by the christmas tree in the background it must have been Christmas! LOL!!!
Here is the other picture I was going to put on the blog last night with Mom's picture but was too tired to find it and put it on. In mom's picture she might be a year older than I am in this one. I think I am either in the 1st grade or 2nd grade. What is the goofiness with my mouth, just kinda of notices it. Looks like I am an old woman missing my upper teeth!!!!! Moooommmmmmm, what am I doing that for!!!!! I crack myself up sometimes! Anyway, the pictures look sorta the same, same hair style, almost the same age. Vincent went to Clinton to shoot automatic weapons with a buddy of his, I spent most of the afternoon being lazy today. Trying to get geared up for work tomorrow. Might have to work til 4:30, get girls after I get off of work, have a eye doctor appointment to recheck my right eye on Tuesday at 4:00, church on Wednesday at 6:00, thursday FREE DAY, YAY!, Friday, have Dakota til 7:00 when Natasha gets off work, probably have to work Saturday and the week starts over again.....Guess I have better go and get ready for bed.

Good day....

Take a look at this sexy little girl!!!!!! This is none other than my beautiful mom. Take a look at those carver cheeks, teeheehee....I wish this picture was of better quality, but it is not unfortunately. But I still have the most beautiful mom in the world! Love ya mom!

Had a good day with Mom today. I worked this morning, then we went to Eleanor's Stamps and More and browzed and bought, and browzed and bought. We really should be using the "stuff" we buy instead of buying more. And we intend to do just that. Hopefully on one of the next couple of saturdays we are going to get together with about 8 of our friends and just "play"!!!!!! By the way, mom, add Ann Tankersley to that list! Cannot forget her... I cannot wait, although I am not sure I will get anything done, because I like to talk about it to much and see what everybody else is doing.

When we left there, we went and had lunch at Zaxby's in Powdersville and then met Vincent at Atlanta Bread Company at Cherrydale Plaza in Greenville for our favorite frozen treat, Kona Mocha Cafechillo with whipped cream please!!! Even bought Vincent one! After that Mom went on to Lowes to get paint to paint Dad's bathroom and Vincent and i went to Walmart got a few things, took the items home, went to Blockbuster in Greer to see if they had the DVD Eurotrip and then went to eat at Corona Mexican Restaurant. I had Beef Fahitas and I could not tell you want Vincent had but he ate it all and then some of mine, since I never can eat it all. Then we left and came home. I am tired now.

Think I will go and relax and then call it a night.....

Feeling better.....

I am feeling better right now. No aches and pains, but sinus drainage and cough, little headache. This first picture is of my Nickypoo in 2004 when the church went skiing and I went with them. Nick snowboarded, but I could not get to the slopes where they were at. The snow was beautiful though especially with the sun shining on it. We all had a good time. The other picture is of my sweet brother Wayne. I am not sure how old he was 2 or 3 maybe, but he sure was enjoying that sprinkler, lol!!!!!!!!! If I am remembering correctly, those are chicken coops at the top of the picture behind the lawn chairs. Am I right, Mom? Went with Allyssa to see the "Suessical" yesterday. Was feeling sooo bad, but I knew she would not understand if I said I was sick and could not go so I trudged on..... It was a really good musical, at times the kids were getting bored and restless, but for the most part they all did very well. They would not allow us to take pictures so I only got one picture of Allyssa and Destiny. Then was out of work today due to being sick. Well, I am getting hot and thirsty, so I am going to go get me a glass of ice water. Later....
