FAMILY

"If you ever start feeling like you have the goofiest, craziest, most dysfunctional family in the world, all you have to do is go to a state fair. Because five minutes at the fair, you'll be going, 'you know, we're alright. We are dang near royalty." - Jeff Foxworthy

Halloween Spirit

I'm getting in the Halloween spirit. I decided to paint my pumpkin like a haunted house this time. I like to paint them rather than carve them because they last so much longer. Turned out cute, huh? It's a beautiful day here today, about 65degrees, sunny, breezy, but tonite and most of next week is suppose to be rainy and cooler. I suppose it was in inevitable, winter always does rear it's head, but it always seem to come just a little too fast. At least they are predicting rain and not SNOW!! There was frost on the windshield one morning this week, but that was all. ( and that is enough ) Better get out and enjoy this beautiful day. Have a great weekend everyone!!

It's Fall!!

My favorite time of the year! The nites are cooler, the leaves are beautiful oranges, yellows, and reds. The air smells earthy. Apples are ripe. And best of all my birthday time. No matter how old I get, I LOVE my birthday!!! Don't care if it means I'm another year older. It's MY special day!! woo hoo!!

Steampunk test

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Ragamuffin

39% Elegant, 28% Technological, 37% Historical, 28% Adventurous and 60% Playful!

You are the Ragamuffin, the embodiment of steampunk playfulness. Chances are, you approach the genre from a much more casual and lighthearted standpoint than most other fans. To you, there is always an element of play inherent in the genre, and you may very well enjoy fashion as much for the opportunity to dress up as for the style itself. You probably wear goggles as an accessory, and rarely as actual eye-protection. Your outfits are likely to incorporate a lot of brown or cream, and combine large boots, Victorian corsets or vests, aviator caps or bowler hats, and gypsy skirts or slacks, simply because you like them all.

I'M HUNGRY!!!!

This is my siamese pain. She is ALWAYS hungry. I've never seen a cat like her. She is perfectly healthy, no problems, but she is like a dog. When the wet food is passed out amongst all the cats, she eats hers in 2 bites and then proceeds to finish everyone else's plate too. If she can't grab it in her mouth, the she waits, and the paw comes out and she grabs the food off the plate. When there isn't another morsel left ANYWHERE, she curls up and goes to sleep in her favorite cat bed. I have a favorite quote painted on a sign in my bedroom.

There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast.

That pretty much says it all.
