Um - little excited here. *meeps* It's my Christmas and birthday presents for the next two years, I think. But so what? It's new!
Back to reading and catching up. I had a hard week at work and I am having wine and spaghetti tonight. All is good for tonight.

I was stalling on closing the pool for the winter and was taking Facebook surveys. I do think radio would be my calling because I definately don't have the face for TV. :)
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |

7:14PM - Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness
Pardon the real life excursion, but ...
Son #1 goes to Tomahawk (Boy Scout camp)tomorrow morning. He's 14, he's been there four years in a row. My husband, a scout leader usually goes along to relive a happy youth. This year the hubby can't go and is very nervous about sending the heir alone to camp:
Me: The heir has been there 4 times, he knows what to bring. If he forgets anything it is his fault and he needs to make a mistake and learn from it.
Hubby: He needs us to pack his bags. He'll forget something.
Me: He's 14. We have to cut the cord in 4 more years. This is a good and safe place to start.
Hubby: I froze up there last year.
Me: It is suppose to be 85F all week. I think freezing may not be an option.
Hubby: He didn't pack a flashlight, for goodness sake!
Me: It's just past the full moon. He will be okay.
Hubby: He should be here packing with us.
Me: He is at the movies with his girlfriend.
Hubby: Girlfriend!!!!!
Me: Yea, you had one or two - remember?
Hubby: He needs a shaving kit. He didn't pack one.
Me: ???
Hubby: I'll just finish packing for him.
Me: !!!
Anyone??? Help! I just don't understand the male psychy. Where did that whole conversation go?
This is the same hubby that wanted to protect the kids from falling at the playground (the kids that are total athletes and the heir is a level 10 gymnast). Hubby always thinks that I don't protect them enough. I think bumps and bruises and mistakes teach more than me saying "don't do that or you'll be sorry."

Hi everyone! I've been a busy little (err, old) girl. My family is getting ready for our 9th annual 4th of July party extravaganza. It means loads of work in preparation, but it is all worth it in the end.
This weekend we did all of the yard work - it's no small yard. We mow about 1.5 acres and have bushes to trim up, flowers to plant, gardens to weed, pool to tend to, and this year Dave decided to put in a horse shoe pit. Just a little digging there. :(
Now I am cleaning the inside of our home. Scrubbed the bathrooms on my hands and knees today, as well as cleaned the screens of all the cottonwood tree particles. Not to much left to do, but food and vacuuming. Yea!!!
Of course I am having my coworkers over the night before to swim and party. I hope I am left in good shape for the 4th. *is nervous*
If I can't talk before the 4th, I hope all of my American friends have a fun and safe 4th of July!

10:50PM - I am stumped
One dog smells of something I can only describe as rancid oily. The cat smells sort of the same. My other dog keeps licking said 1st dog. I have no clue what cat and dog 1 got into. Husband is no help other than to say that he let cat out for two hours today. That is ever so helpful. So while I was at work, two animals got in to something and hubby has no clue.... *help* !!! Guess I will be shampooing two animals on the morrow.

7:59PM - Success!
My son's gymnastic team and parental units just got back from a week in Ohio for J.O. Nationals. It was a blast and a real eye opener.
His team did very well and placed high nationally. It was their first time there with enough guys to be part of the team competition. They met lots of college coaches. My son even introduced himself to the college coach of the academy he wants to attend. I think he will make a good salesman someday. I'd be mortified to introduce myself to a college coach. Kudos to him.
My son did well individually too. He had a fall on a move he doesn't ever fall on, but that's life. There is always next year for a better placement. He is still placed well though.
The trip was fun. I'd never been to Cincinnati before. Pretty town! Any of you that live there should be proud of how friendly your people are!

10:09PM - My son qualified for Nationals!
Sorry to sound like a proud Mom here, but gosh darn-it - I am so very proud of my oldest son!
This past weekend my son qualified for the J.O. Gymnastic National Finals.
I just can't stop smiling.

I received a lovely Christmas card from ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
rakina yesterday!! It's so sparkly. It was the first day in awhile that we have had sunshine and it made her card's sparkly snowflakes sparkle all the more. Truly beautiful! Thank you, friend!
I have been working so much this season that I haven't done any shopping or Christmas. I'm in trouble now since we are under a winter storm warning until Sunday evening. Yikes! It will all work out in the end though. *hopes*
I am doggie sitting a Pug this weekend. He is so darn cute! I am not a small dog person, but he is a cutie. My cat doesn't know what to make of him. He's never seen a dog under 100 pounds. I think Kitty thinks it is just a really ugly cat. :) Kitty has been chasing the poor thing all around. Then my German Shepherd gets in the act. The poor Pug is just exhausted, but very happy. I think he is loving all the attention.

10:37AM - I Voted!
Our road, which is on the same street as our polling place, was parked up this morning at 7:00am. It was a bit hard for the school bus to navigate. On the plus side, it means that lots of citizens are voting!
I voted at 9:15am and the lines had calmed down quite a bit. Now I have my "I Voted" sticker and my USA pins on my shirt. It's a very good day!
Off to work soon.
