Today is Brigit's birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIGIT!!!! She is 7 years old today!



I think I'll make some cookies to celebrate ;-) 

B-day gifts

I was given alot of cool stuff for my birthday. It was a "super" birthday!! 
I got a Justice League hat & gloves set...


My mom took a pic of me taking a pic of myself in the hat, LOL!!!


A Batman comforter, we already have a Superman one, now I just need a Wonder Woman comforter to complete the set :-D


Here's the back of it,


A Smarties candy dispenser. I never knew there was such a thing. I should have read the directions before I used it though. It wasn't until after I shot myself in the face that I read not to point towards face or eyes...lol.


Some small Halloween bowls...


A forty mug...


A cool Halloween t-shirt...


An awesome superhero t-shirt...


Towels & a cake pan...


A Halloween sweatshirt...


Fluffy, comfy Tinkerbell PJ pants...


Looney Tunes Halloween PJ pants...


Another view of the Justice League hat & gloves set...


Movies & music...


New shorts...


Hand towels and a Blackhawks magazine...


Another 40 mug, but this one had candy in it...


A candle holder and a candle with one of my favorite scents, Witches Brew from the Yankee Candle Company...


I also got a cool salt & pepper shakers set. It's skulls wearing top hats and they set on a tray. I'll try to remember to get a pic of them and put it on here. 
Those were my gifts this year. I know, I'm spoiled...lol

The Big 40

This year I celebrated my 40th birthday. Seems weird that I'm 40 years old already, I sure don't feel 40. But then again, since I've never been 40, how would I know what it feels like...lol. 
I had a nice surprise from my hubby for my Big 40. I came home from work to find he had set up a little Halloween display for me... 



During the day at work a group of Jr. High kids came in and sang Happy Birthday to me. That was so much fun!!!



Also, one of their teachers made a Birthday hat for me...lol
And Brigit came to see me at work. She had a balloon tied to her. She wanted so bad to come in the kitchen to see me when she heard me in there, but she had to stay outside... NO DOGGIES ALLOWED in the kitchen!! 


And, as always, Steve made a pumpkin pie for me. He put the candles in the shape of 40...
Steve's Aunt & Uncle weren't going to be able to come celebrate with me, so they brought a party to our house early. After one of Tyler's football games they brought over a birthday cake... it was soooooo cute!! I almost forgot to take a pic of it, but I got one after it was cut... 

And here is the gift table Steve made for me...

Check out this one... 

A couple of the girls at work, Shelly & Melissa sent me flowers. They were pretty black & white carnations in a very cool vase....

I had an amazing birthday!!!! Thank you again, everyone for making the day so very, very special for me!!!! I'll post pics of my presents in another blog. I'm getting tired and need to get to bed.... now that sounds like I'm acting my age...lol!!! 

Halloween...

Here's a pic of this years yard. Last year we didn't decorate, this year we did a little to get back into the swing of things. I'll add more pics tomorrow of the yard and our costumes. 

Gma & i gave brigit a haircut. We can see her face again!

Long time away again...

It's been a while again since my last blog. Still doing the Facebook thing :-)
I had a blast from the past on Facebook this week. I saw someone I haven't seen in years in a friends friend list so I sent him a message to see if it was really him. Turns out it was... Hi Mike!  
More exciting news..... I GOT A DOG!!!! YAY!! Steve's cousin is a dog breeder and he had a female dog that was getting to be too old to breed. He heard we were (I was) looking for a dog so he told us we could have her because he wanted her to go to a good home. We brought her home and she has been such a fun addition to our family. She gets along really well with one of our cats, they've become really good friends. It's not going so well with the other two cats though. One of them hisses and growls at her all the time and the other one has moved to the basement and refuses to live upstairs anymore. 
Here she is......
 
Isn't she cute?!?!?!
I'm still working on losing some weight. Hoping to lose another 20# by my sisters wedding in September. Worked out for 3 hours today. I'm quite sore tonight, but it's a good sore. 
I have to take my mom to the hospital this week for stress tests. They want to make sure her heart isn't the reason she's having pain in her chest and breathing problems. I hope they figure out pretty soon what's going on!! 
My hubby is training for the Apple Dumpling 1/2 marathon again this Fall. between the heat and his schedule, he's not as far into his training as he'd like to be. He'll get there though. He's an amazing man, I know he'll do great!! <3 U Hon!! 

 

Catching up.....again

Sitting here waiting for my son to go to work so I can start my workout without being interrupted. I don't like having to stop halfway through so I wait until I know I have a good chance of completing my workout. Then my other son wants to go to the surplus store to look at fishing supplies. So that means it's going to be a fast, not get much done day. 

I'm hoping to have a yard sale during our towns upcoming "Old Fashioned Days" celebration. I wanted to start gathering and pricing things now for it. I'm trying to save up some money to get an iPad and thought a yard sale would be good to not only raise some money, but to help get rid of some clutter around here too.  

ok...that was fun. Zak couldn't find his keys...again. So he took the spare. This day is not turning out like I had planned. So I'm just going to forget blogging and do my workout before anything else goes....crazy. 

Maybe later I'll get a chance to blog again.
