Auto correct

 I'm getting used to the smart phone. I was really impressed with the way Beth used hers to gps directions-and I've seriously committed to doing this after watching her. It's been a couple of days since I've called someone between the hours of midnight and five am or hung up accidently using the blue tooth in the car. With all of these advancements, Auto correct is still getting my goat.  "Aw shit" has become "Aw shirt" which is probably not a bad thing, but then I was texting Paul. He was on a date with a girl named "Katherine" and I meant to say-yea she even spells good. It came out "she even smells good". Seriously, I am not in the habit of smelling my son's dates. Not yet anyway.

Tonight's gambling game

Tonight the gas station didn't have any of my favorite scratchers and so I divided my efforts between these two:

and I will have to finish my shift and comeback next week, but the $5.00 won will allow me to buy a powerball ticket for tonight.

My funny for today

So I'm trying not to offend anyone on facebook or show my true colors, but this is just too damn funny not to pass on...

Ahead of the game

Remember when I put my eggs in the incubator? They are supposed to start hatching on the 29th, but these little girls are early birds. Not quite old enough for worms yet.

Waking up

Me waking up in the middle of the night(before my alarm goes off) is never really a good thing. Sometimes, I have night mares-and I can never recall any of them unless they were induced by cold medicine. The one where I jumped on my unicorn to get away from the mushrooms that were chasing me was brought about by a combination of Niquil and vitamin c. I woke up the other night and got scared. It all started when I looked at the snoring creature next to me and it occurred to me that I love him as much as anything  that I haven't given birth to. And that alarms me-seven years ago at this time, I didn't even know he existed. How completely my world has changed. And it can stop now. I'm in a good place. I don't want anything to change. The kids are all doing well-following their dreams and making them realities. I have a grandchild-which makes me immortal. I know that I am loved every single day. I know things can get better-but they can get much, much worse and that's a gamble I don't want to take. Can I just push the pause button on life?

Day 6

So today is my sixth day of working. Sixty glorious hours of my life gone. For fun this week, I've make jam, fed the animals, and dusted. All that will change tonight, but today I'm like....

Planning

 Unfortunately, a lot of very special people won't be able to attend the nuptials in October.
Beth is playing with the idea of using this

and I really like it. Don't know if I can look at it without the appropriate mascara, but I like it.
And then I saw this...

and it just ruined any makeup I had left on my face.

Dumb people

 This for the lady in the drive thru that refuses to give me straws when the only thing I have ordered is a drink. And for the man who asks if I want help with a hundred pounds of horse feed. And the driver that is broke down on Hwy 5 in California but has no idea what town he's near(or what mile marker) but he knows he's on 5.

Garden/house work

That or have aluminum foil that transforms itself into little people to majestically make dinner and clean up. It's not that I would be sleeping while the animals/little foil people worked-I'd be doing laundry (have some socks that have been on a line for two days and 2 baskets that need to be folded and put away which is why I don't have a basket to get those socks). Or else I would be doing something in the garden or with garden produce-need to seriously put some hay around the strawberry plants which need pruning. I still have okra to pick even though I filled a bucket last night. There's okra, beans, zucchini, and squash that needs to be put up yesterday. But I've kept the dust bunnies at bay and think I've convinced the ducks not to use the portch as a toilette. Small victories, but I'll take them.

Jody

Many of you know that Jody's dad has been battling cancer for a while now. His fight is over.  Please say a prayer for his wonderful family.

Pinterest-just stop it

Pinterest gets me in all kinds of trouble. It's there I found the recipe for "Funeral Rolls" that Dwight doesn't like and I love. That's where I found the idea for glow in the dark bubbles that really didn't glow in the dark. It's their  fault that I paint rocks and make desserts that I don't need. This is what I found this morning and I can't stop laughing:

Epic Fail Mattel-try again!

I've had Barbie dolls as long as I can remember. I never wanted to be "Barbie", but man she had some cool stuff. A house with an elevator, corvettes, jeeps, horses, airplanes, pools, and don't even get me started on the clothes. It was a way to escape to a fantasy world and she's always been just a doll to me. I can understand that some people may want to be a "Barbie" and that young girls should have a realistic expectations, but sorry Mattel this is not it.(pictured below is the old and new version of Barbie)
Where's her neck? Does she have a beer problem? Did Mattel resize all of the Barbie shoes? Please try again Mattel, I don't think this is a realistic expectation unless you're related to Honey Boo Boo.
