Scavenger Hunt- Day 3
2007-05-04 17:30:00
1) Look at the list of participants in the hunt. Choose one that you do not read. Find something interesting about them and leave a comment. Let us know who you chose and what you found interesting. You don't need to leave the blog address, just the name listed and the number they are on the list.I picked Jessica, #85! :) Her Bon Jovi pic drew me right in. I'm a NJ girl. I grew up there. So that got me curious. My cousin, Danielle is a HUGE Bon Jovi fan, so reading her post made me think of Damielle, and how I need to email her back! LOL2)Find another participant that you have not read that participates in a daily meme. This is something like Monday Memories, Ten on Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen, Fridays Feast or Saturdays Scavenger
Hunt. Find one that you find the most creative and tell us why.http://goofygirl.org/ First, i love her blog name, and the cows! LOL! She seems very fun, and goofy. I liked the pics and her memes were interesting to read!3)There are a lot

Hi there! You might remember me, My Name is Cyndi and this is my blog! LOLHoly heck did we have a busy week here. A busy week with nice weather! I kept forgetting things I needed at the store (I know, I know MAKE A LIST)So I spent almost all my am's when J was at school running around.Her concert/Graduation was on Friday. it was really cute! I'll post the video of her graduating. It's a little long, but it's really funny cause another little boy had to potty, and I didn't notice it at the time, but he starts jumping up and down, hopping and holding himself well before anyone noticed, the poor guy. LOLI also need to get majorly caught up on the scavenger hunt!! (BAD ME!)Hope all my fellow Mom's had a nice Mothers Day! I was taken out to breakfast, got to watch some TV while Ava napped. Then we ordered Chinese and lounged around the kiddie pool the rest of the afternoon. It was a nice day!!

2007-05-21 02:21:00
So, several weeks ago, the Hubster comes home from work with a surprise for me. He found out there was a local production of Grease going on in town. He purchased tickets for us to go to a Sunday Matinee, as a late Mother's Day gift. He knows that Grease is one of my all time favorites.Now granted, taking a 16 month old to a play is a challenge. However being that it was Sunday Matinee, I think ok, no problem.I grew up in suburban NJ, just outside of NYC. If you were taking your kids to a play it was... on Sunday afternoon. I don't know if it's just me or not, but I always assumed it was standard. You don't really take young children out to the evening show, for a variety of reasons, but if you go to a Sunday Matinee, expect to see children.Ava was a bit fidgety, She hadn't had much of a nap. All things considered we thought she did really well. I had to nurse her a bit. Had we been sitting on one of the ends of the rows, I may have considered getting up and discretely taking her

My Mom arrives tomorrow. I need to be cleaning. I may not be posting too much in the next couple of weeks. We'll be busy, I'm sure. The IL's are coming down for a weekend in there someplace.I love my Mom.My Mom also likes to read over my shoulder when I'm online.That, I don't love. I'm sure I'll need a sanity-computer break now and again. Especially since they baby will want to be nursed and have a nap. :)Just a little FYI for you all. :)

I keep hearing this noise. One that sounds like a HUGE Horse fly is buzzing between the blinds and the window.YK, the kind of fly that could suck you bone dry in about 2 seconds.So after staring over there for a while, I realize it's not so much a fly in the window, but J's Mylar Dora balloon rubbing up and down the wall thanks to the air coming out of the a/c vent.So KNOWING this now, why, every time I hear that sound, do I still immediately think there's a fly in the window?I really should move the dang balloon before it drive me bonkers.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!What a busy couple weeks it's been! My Mom was here, The IL's were here. J started T-ball games. We've been out in the pouring rain for one of them. (ok, well I ran back to the van with Ava, and the rest of them followed shortly there after..lol)The girls and I have started swimming lessons. J loves hers. Ava's not too impressed, and I forgot that carrying a 21lb child for 30 mins in a pool was actually work, until I tried to climb up the stairs 2 days later. LOLThere've been lots of pictures taken.We've survived being blown away in the gusty wind yesterday!Let's see.... There's a Killdeer nest in our front yard.Next week (if I can remember to actually call and make the appointment) Buddy will be going in for THE surgery at the vet's. He's 2. It's time, it's past time, cause he's really getting obnocious. lol He needs his testosterone cut off. No pun intended. lolHope everyone is doing well. I'm going to try and get caught up with everyone

Yeah, it's a bit cliche', but Owell.I AM happy it's Friday. Despite the fact that I still had to run out and do some errands. Apparently, the dogs like to have food. Dang them. ;) If not for the fact that there wasn't enough food to last them until Monday, I would've totally stayed home.Traffic was bad enough today. I wouldn't want to have tried it tomorrow. Plus we are jam-packed with things to do tomorrow too.As I was standing in LINE at the self Checkout at Wal-Mart (yes, you heard me right) I was thinking that I was glad it was Friday, and that we were about ready to be DONE and on the way home.J got her 1/2 way progress report for swimmign yesterday. She's doing really well. She needs to work on a few things tho. I told her her teacher said she needs to practice those things, and she says "Mom, how can I practice when we don't have a bog pool"?Uhhh, ok good point there.Being the clever Mom I am, I told her she needs to practice them AT swimming lessons. That while her teac

I love News Stories like this!! It reminds me of when we got our cat, Lucky. I was about 5 or 6 at the time. She was in a foster home for our local Humane Society. She had been found wandering around, and was very tiny. Thus they names her "Lucky". The Foster homes' pet cat had just had a litter of Kittens. The Momma took Lucky on as her own, and even became her favorite one! LOLMuch more interesting tho, when it's a dog, nursing kittens! I found this great site called The News Room. They have TONS (and I mean TONS) of news clips and videos from all over. Looking for that clip you saw, and wanted to share on your blog? They probably have it there!I had a lot of fun looking at all sorts of clips from the Midwest area. It was fun too, seeing a lot of the news anchors I remember watching when we lived in MN. Funny how they haven't seemed to have aged in 5 years! LOLSigning up for the service is free, and it was really easy to embed the video right onto the blog.They also offer an incen

DELL! I got an email from them the other week about a 3 day sale. I was very subtle and C&P'd the whole thing in an IM to the Hubster! hehehehehe. The hubster, sick of me whining about my ancient system, told me to "go for it". My New baby arrived yesterday!!YAY! well, except that I need to get a converter cable for my wonderful split keyboard. I'm currently using this teeny tiny thing that came with the system, and it's a challenge, for sure!Certainly makes me realize that while I may like the concept of a laptop, I'd probably hate one! I need a full, comfortable keyboard!I also need to transfer my mail program over here too. I left the pics and stuff on there, cause our plan is to get a desk and set up my old system with games and things for J to use.I sent out a WANTED on on Freecycle, but haven't found anyone with a desk to give away yet, so I may need to suck it up and buy one. If you know of any good sales on (cheap) computer desks that would work for a 5yo, please let me kn

My Dogs are driving me to Drink!
2007-06-15 07:11:00
So last night... the dogs are out in the yard. Ava was boobin' and half asleep. The Hubster was, uhhhh .... otherwise occupied. ;) They were out in the yard for a bit, not too long. At one point Buddy barked and I yelled at him to "Be Quiet" from our bedroom. lolSo Hubster is available before I am, and goes to let the dogs in. Only, he only finds Buddy out there. He's like, did you let Dottie out too? I told him I was pretty sure I had. He can't find her. I asked if her looked under the deck. Yep, he did. She wasn't there. Now, keep in mind we have a 6ft cedar fence with padlocks on the gates. There's no where for her to go.By this point, Ava's asleep in the bed and I'm out on the deck. I'm looking around, when in the faaaar corner I see there is some chewed up fence and a small hole.I'm like, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... look over there! Little Miss Houdini chewed a hole in the bottom of t he fence and got out!!He found her across the street in the neighbors yard, but UGH!At l

to me.....If you are my age, I'm sure you not only know that song by heart, but you were also a Police fan growing up. They were such a defining force of the early 80's.Who can forget the Synchronicity album? I remember sitting in my room, after school, working on my homework like a good girl, and cranking up the radio whenever "Every Breathe You Take" came on!Of course we can't leave out seeing them on MTV! I think most of my class was in love with Sting! lolIf you haven't heard, on June 5th, The Police released a 2 disc compilation CD. Included with the Police Cd is a vintage poster! Won't your hubby be surprised to come home and see you drooling at a poster of the group that is now hanging on the wall of your Master Bedroom?!I'm a big fan of compilation CD's. I like being able to have all my favorite hits in one collection!If you click on the banner above, you can find out tour info, see videos, download ringtones, sample the track list and enter the contest to win a trip to

Memories
2007-06-27 06:53:00
I've been reminded of something this week. It's been a HUGE wake-up call too. I've been reminded of what daily life is like with a VERY busy 17 nth old. LOL Holy cats! Ava's always been busy. She finally realized she could go down the steps in the house. She's been able to crawl down steps for a while now. I think it's because we mostly would carry her up and down here at the house, that she didn't realize she had that option here until this past week.It's now ALL she wants to do. If I dare close the door down here so I can try to get something done, she has a complete fit. Full on screaming and all that. yay. If this keeps up, I may be drinking heavily by the time she's 2.5. LOLIt's interesting, having a toddler and an older child. Ava wants to do everything her big sister does. So I think that makes her 10x braver than Johanna was, which is scary. lolWe've been doing some "Spring Cleaning" around here. It's been good, but stressful, since like I said, trying to do anythi
