Thursday Thirteen “The 100th Edition!”

daisies_tt.jpg

1. I am at my 100th TT!! party Don’t I get a medal or something?? )

2. It’s been a busy and fun week, started last Friday and hasn’t let up. Though I won’t comment on what happened on Friday because when I did on here previously, I apparently rubbed some the wrong way, they considered it bragging too much. roll Excuse me, I was very excited, it happens after waiting 25 years!

3. Saturday we saw Craig Ferguson in person! Awesome show, he is hilarious in person and CUTE! What made it even more fun, our tickets were free, and then they gave us money to gamble on (you show them your ticket stub and they give you $10), with my $10 I played a quarter machine and one the third spin won $100! So they actually paid me to come see Craig! What a hardship! innocent

4. Sunday we attended the high school graduation of my nephew and step-niece. Then partied with the family at my sisters. It was so much fun visiting with family and watching the antics of the clowns in the crowd. ( I am innocent! shy )

5. Monday we were graced with the presence of my adorable niece who is definitely her mother’s daughter! She is staying with us this week and let me just say, this 12 year old doesn’t have a shy bone in her and loves to embarrass her aunt in public places (I will never be able to show my face in Wally World again! lol )!

6. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a great kid! She just has her mother’s evil sense of humor!! lol Imagine me grocery shopping and this 12 yr old walking behind me, pretending to cry, saying things like:

“But mommy, why don’t you love me anymore?”

“Mommy, please don’t leave me!”

“Mommy, why are you leaving daddy?” embarrassed

To say the least, folks in Wally World were entertained. )

7. Wednesday we were the “Ladies that Lodge.” Spent the majority of the day outside floating on rafts in the pool. I’m getting an awesome tan! mrgreen

8. Hubby and I walked down to the pond that our addition has, I tried to take some pictures, but it was getting to dark. I was admiring the cute little duck swimming, the turtles poking their heads out of the water, and then my dear sweet hubby says, “watch out for the snakes!” shock I was ready to leave the quaint little pond……right then!!

9. As we were walking back to our house we ran into one of our neighbors, a younger couple that we hadn’t officially met yet. They have a Great Dane that we have admired every time we see him, so I was thrilled to be able to pet him! He stood up past my waist! I can’t wait to take some pictures of him!

10. Back to snakes though…not that I like them, cause I sure as heck don’t! But our neighbor was saying there is plenty out here! He has killed three so far just in the last few weeks!! worried I can’t even begin to tell you how paranoid I get when I go outside to water pots, etc! It ain’t pretty folks!! Did I mention that there was a small snake in our pool the other day? The blood curling scream, that was me!

11. I got a big surprise tonight when I went out to water the pots on my front porch, I looked out into the flowerbed and noticed this blooming out of the blue….

Calla’s where I didn’t know they were planted! cool

12. I took this one Wednesday morning. I’ve been experimenting with different angles, etc with my camera now that I have a Flickr account. Man, that’s addicting! This one has become a favorite of mine!

Thursday Thirteen #99 - “Randomness”

tt_lipstickrandom.jpg

1. This week seems to have flown by, not sure why, but it has!! shock I’m going the random route this week, so you have been warned! )

2. Miss Priss went to the doc’s this week, she’s kind of like me, if she went you know she really needed to go. She is having an ultrasound done Thursday morning, they think she has gallstones. ( This does explain ALOT!

3. Big D is taking an accelerated class this week and next. It’s four hours every evening, that’s on top of the nine hours he works everyday! He’s exhausted! sleep We’ll be so happy when he’s done with school! He’ll graduate with his Master’s in August! party

4. The weather here has been absolutely beautiful, in the 90’s with a breeze! Getting good use of the pool already, we are going to LOVE having a pool this summer! cool

5. I don’t often endorse products on my blog but I’m going to on my TT this week because, well, because I want too, and when I find something really good I like to share! )

6. The first product is Philosophy’s - Hope In A Jar, I LOVE this moisturizer so much that I’d rename it “Love In A Jar!” It is not greasy, it’s light and absorbs fast so you can put it on and proceed to put on your makeup or whatever. My skin looks better after using this moisturizer than any other I have used. And it’s good for ALL skin types!! I’m telling you, this is one product I will not be without!

7. Next product I’m going to rave about, is from the same line Philosophy’s - Hope In A Tube! This product is for around your eyes and lips, and again it’s something I just won’t live without! It goes on smoothly and dries so fast so no gooey feeling like some eye creams. Love this stuff!! luv

8. One more, I’m a big fan of Bare Escentuals Makeup, it’s all I wear but did you know about RareMinerals facial cleanser? It’s one of the most gentle, exfoliating cleansers I’ve ever tried.

12. I’m so glad American Idol is coming to an end!! Oh and the winning song the winner sings, the guy who wrote it, I know his daddy! Cool, huh? cool

13. And to close I leave you with a bit of sunshine, or my version that is, innocent
