Geaux Saints! Who Dat?!

well, I got invited to watch the Super Bowlin 12 different states!! I never knew I had so many friends! Thanks guys, what a way to make a gal feel loved.

The Jen formerly known as Pinky who lives just down the road a piece invited me to her house. A huge Thank You to Jen for the invitation. However, in looking over all the things I needed to get done today I was unable to take 4 hours off to go and watch the game.

HOWEVER, Evansmom gave me play by play facebook updates to rival any sportscaster! It reminded me of the stories of listening to baseball games over the radio...facebook style. Thanks a zillion Evansmom! You're the best.

I made it to the gym in time to watch the post game show. But found it hard to read the closed captioning and watch the plays at the same time haha...maybe I should figure out how that whole headphone on the bike thing works....

What a fun time for all Saints fans!

A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had
great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked
her how she liked the experience. 'Oh, I really liked it,' she replied,
'especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't
understand why they were killing each other over the 25 cents.'
Dumbfounded, her date asked, 'What do you mean?' 'Well, they flipped a
coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept
screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm
like...Hellooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

And now you can see what we do in the evenings for fun!

Here are Subvet's latest creations.






Every night is a new creation........

And now for the obligatory cuteness!

What do you think Gator's built?

It a boy!

the can is "toes"

the glitter ball is "head"

the playdough is "hair"

the playdough can lid is "hat"

So there you go!

Enjoy your ball game!

Anyone seen a White Rabbit lately?

Sherry's written yet another spot on fantastic post about our current state of affairs, please go and check it out! Tell her I sent you.

hello again

Created by Mrs 4444, Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, "Heard" items, and other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post.


I've kinda been ignoring the blog in favor of facebook here lately.

I'm not sure why as I usually don't do well with short "updates". I tend to talk too much for that.

Here I am at my last night of work and she's a real doozy. Fortunately, it is the LAST NIGHT and then I'm off till Tuesday.

So, I've put on facebook a plea for someone to let me come and watch the Superbowl at their house. A) I don't have TV B) it's the Saints C) it's a monumental game. D) it's the Saints.

So far I have been invited to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday at the following places:

Florida
New Hampshire
Tennesee
Colorado
Louisiana

I wish I could travel to them all and see each play in a different state!! hahaha.
As it is I will probably either try to watch online (if that's an option) or will just follow the facebook/blog updates as the game goes on. Which is fine really. It just strikes me as odd that in 5 years of being without TV this is the FIRST time there was actually something showing that I wanted to see.

In other news.....Sugars woke at 1am Monday night screaming "MINE!"....which leads me to wonder, since she has a room to herself, WHICH of her stuffed animals was trying to steal the covers??? I'm thinking the monkey has pretty shifty eyes....


And Subvet has STOLEN my title of Best Tracklayer!! I have pictures of the huge and intricate track he laid the other night, watch for them tomorrow! And yes, our new past-time in the evenings is setting up the tracks for the kids to find when they wake up. Hey! it's more fun than watching TV!!! ;-)




I'm joining a new meme. Since I had my teaparty I've been sampling all the teas that I bought for the party and really enjoying them!

This Tea Party is hosted by Ruth at Celebrate Friendship. Stop by and tell her hi!


I'm having.... Constant Comment "tea flavored with rind of oranges and sweet spice" this tea tastes almost like chia tea I add sugar and milk to all my non-fruit teas, but since I'm at work instead of milk I have non-dairy creamer.


My teacup.... is of the lovely styrofoam coffee cup variety.

On my mind..... I'm waiting to see if my backache will subside, I strained it pulling a large lady up in bed. Most times these things will work themselves out after a couple hours, time will tell.

I'm feeling.... tired, because it's my 3rd and last night of work this week, excited because it's my 3rd and last night of work this week.

Goal Post.

Last weekend's goals were.

1) get to the gym 3 times well I made it inside twice....I went on Sunday afternoon about 4pm and the place was PACKED!! so I went home.

2) get swimsuit altered DONE!! yippee!!

3) get swimshorts made didn't do a thing with this....

4) do listening program 4 times with kids (this means twice today...) DONE!! yippeee!!


5) get my snuggleometer back up to Full. I got lots and lots of snuggles! But I do believe my snuggleometer might be broken...cuz it just doesn't stay filled up for very long.......


I'm working tonight, tomorrow night and the next night. So no goal except surviving work.

But for next weekend my goals are:

1) make the swim shorts
2) refill snuggleometer
3) get to gym 3 times
4) get this soup made
5) finish making Gator's newborn footprints!


as for #3, I'm glad I'm working the next 3 days...cuz I gotta tell ya, my legs are aching! I found that I can no longer do the elliptical trainer like in the past. Between being out of shape over the last several years and cutting my heart medicine dosage in half last month even 2 min on the elliptical and my heart is racing along at 170 threatening to trip into SVTs (a dangerously fast heartrate). So I'm doing ye ol recumbent bike. I gotta tell ya, the bike is BOOOORRRRING!!! I've started taking a book along with my ipod and that helps pass the time some. But, boring or not, my heart rate stays elevated but not too high and I've lost 2lbs so I guess it's working.

as for #5, it occured to me that my husband's 60th birthday is in about 2 1/2 years. I want to finish HIS quilt for his birthday.....but it's all handwork. As in 144 HAND APPLIQUED 6" HEARTS that will make a Queen sized quilt which will then be hand quilted...it'll take over a year to get from here to finished without a doubt. But I gotta finish the one I'm working on FIRST. Which means that I suddenly am looking at a deadline for my quilt and have somehow kindled the fire that was dying out under my butt to work on the dang thing! Sometimes deadlines are good!


Your turn!
What are your goals for the week?
