How About Some Catching Up?

Well, I seemed to have skipped quite a bit here lately, but for a few things..............

I made homemade fried chicken a couple of weekends ago. It turned out okay and as Rusty put it, for the mess and time we might as well go pick some up somewhere. True. But I always wanted to try! It may look burnt but it wasn't. I like all the crispies!! LOL

Rusty and I also did a little geocaching this weekend on our way to the benefit for Becca's mom. When he walked through this one field there were tons of grasshoppers. I couldn't see him and all the sudden he comes hauling ass out. I just knew something was chasing him! I had the camera ready because I wanted a pic of him and all the grasshoppers but what I got was this. Just need the terrifying look on his face and it would have been a classic. I had flip flops on so didn't get to venture out on some of these.


Here we are at the geographical center of the 48 states.
It was neat and on the way out I happened to look up and see this........

Rusty walked right underneath and didn't even see him. We both did a couple of times! Stories on the geocaching site talk of families dogs chasing him in fun, people feeding him, and him following them around. He is the "guard" of the cache. It was pretty neat.

Today was a fast day at work. We were busy and it went pretty well I suppose. Looking forward to a more laid back day tomorrow and then satellite on Wednesday. See, the week is already getting close to hump day! ha

Tonight I feel at ease, peaceful and happy. Nice change after last week.

Looking for some September parties if anyone is interested!

Just Shut Up And Listen!

My title goes with many things. For instance...................

Shut up and listen...................
to how selfish you sound!
to the instructions you are getting!
to how self absorbed you are!
to what he is saying!
already!

See? So, many different ways it can go. That's not all of them, but the main ones! Can you tell I have short fuses this week? It has been a long time coming. Finally fed up I guess!

This last week was horrible. Thursday was LONG and Friday was too. Being there for BOTH of them just damn near kicked my butt. I want my Wanda back!

Friday evening we went and got a sno-ball and drove around. We ran to Victoria just to "view" what this whole Herzog Fest was about but we didn't stop. Not much there I guess, it just didn't look interesting to us at the time. We ran by Rick and Renee's and talked to them a bit.

Saturday was a wasted day going and looking at furniture for our den/theater room. We have a projector that puts an awesome wide screen picture above our fireplace. It is nearly 90 inches! We nixed the whole furniture thing. Other things are more important! We went to Rick and Renee's for a bbq and had a great time visiting! We came home and watched "The Dark Knight" which was pretty good but seemed so looooooooooooooong. I don't know if it actually was, but it seemed like it.

Rusty and I went to Beloit today for Becca's moms benefit. She had such a great turnout and I am anxious to hear of the funds that were raised. I think it will be quite a bit! I sure did want to bid on the kitty though. There was a kitten that had been abandoned by it's mother that was brought by someone. When they put it up (kind of as a joke....mainly to find a home for it) NO ONE did anything. NOT EVEN A BUCK. What bothered me most about it is that it is a LIFE. A LIVING BREATHING being. How do you put a price on that?? Yeah, I know, it was a cat but still!!! I would have brought the cat home if no one would have took it. Luckily for Rusty, someone did. Me being an animal lover, it was definitely a very disturbing situation. I know, I know. So why didn't I bid on it? My husband was standing right next to me to make sure I didn't. He knows it would have come home with me if no one took it.

There are many more things that I am planning on blogging about, but not tonight. I gotta get my anniversary trip all lined up! Seven years coming up in September.............man!!! Seems like yesterday and I mean that in an awesome, damn I love my husband, way!

#^&(I&%^!!!!!!

I need to post, I want to post but I don't think it's a good idea. Too much on my mind that I would *type* my mind and that would NOT be good.

I am hoping for the best at work tomorrow. That's a lose/lose situation.

Rock Band.........

is the newest thing in the Winsett household. It is super fun. I never thought I'd say that........but it's a lot easier to enjoy if you know the song and are actually playing. I couldn't stand it to sit there and watch and listen to someone just click, click, click away. That was just guitar hero though. It's a lot more fun with the drums too!!

So, more to come soon! I am just enjoying not having to worry about doing anything work related when I get home from work!

With Age,,,,,,,

I have come to the conclusion that getting older makes you not give a damn about what people think of you having some good, clean fun. In the past, I would have never posted videos of me doing ignorant, silly things. Well, I got another one for tonight only it also includes my husband. Yes, even Rusty decided it was okay to act a little goofy and share it with the world! Gene, I think you'll enjoy this! Sorry the video is a little off center and you can mainly hear the clicking of my drums! Rusty didn't let completely loose but this is good for him considering it is on my blog!



Honestly, I didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I do. I really, really like playing the drums and it is quite a bit harder than the guitar. Too bad Rusty wouldn't let me post him singing "Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi! Just kidding........I wouldn't do that to him! I didn't even have it on video.

This weekend was great. Rusty did an awesome job on my honey-do list. Only one major thing left. Can you guess? It starts with a D. Yes, dishwasher. He was so fed up with that. We just need a part of the (house) plumbing replaced then we are great. He tried so hard to get it working during the week that he honestly needed a break. Now if I would have completed my own to do list. Oh well, spending time with my hubby playing Rock Band was more important!

Rusty and I put up our second geo-cache Saturday. It is so creative and so awesome! We have had two people come find it already. I wish I could be out there (it's accessable from our alley) to hear and see what they say as they are trying to figure out how in the world to get to something that's on the inside of someone's yard without trespassing or climbing a fence!! Saturday evening we spent over at my friend Becca's enjoying one of Jason's famous steaks. We had such a great time and I really enjoyed being with Claudine and Eli. It does wear you out but it's funny how you can find energy when it's most important! It's also great to be around people who can still appreciate the love of a dog even if there are children involved. That's all I'll say about that............touchy subject.

Anywho, we had a great weekend and I am looking forward to having lots of fun with my hubby playing Rock Band. Now he has (needs) to start playing Wii with me again too! We have been so busy lately it will be nice to enjoy some game time in our house!
