RAIN!!! Lovely rain

We got rain and thunder and more rain this morning at 3 am... It was wonderful to hear. I mean the real rain that creates floods and really wets your grass and plants. Then....again at 8:30 am... WE GOT RAIN!!! It was so awesome to have. And guess what???? No humidity came with it. It is a lovely 92 degrees today. LOVING IT!!! AM I nuts...........yep.

Random thoughts..............

Okay.... I am sitting her waiting for bathtub to unclog since the previous owners used it for all their dogs to be bathed in... so it taking a while. yes...today is bathroom cleaning day ....all four of them. hahahaha.

I decided that I am going to take a photography class. My friend Liz has been taking amazing pics since she has taken a fresher course and maybe that will improve my eye. Of course I need to pinch my budget just a bit more for that!!

I also decide that I need to learn about quickbooks. It seems little companies that are hirng here want that...I don't have it. But am willing to learn.

I have signed myself up to sub in grades 1-12 around her and hopefully will be busy... my other job could have the potential of being a third shift worker at Kroger so I can go to an island or carribean adventure next year.

My biggest job is researching insurance companies to get the better deal on house and cars since I live in the metroplex. Any ideas???

So that is my random thought process for now. Tune in for more excitement!!!

Better yet........maybe take some classes and think about getting a masters degree in something. Alright ..this is enough!!

Insane Stephanie meyer fans!

Yes! A little late, but I am admitting to going to the big opening of Stephanie Meyer's new book., Breaking Dawn. Last friday at 8 p.m. Kayla and I went to the wedding party at Barnes and Noble. What a show that was.......wished we could of flown somewhere to get her signature but oh well. We dealed. The show was as follows......... K dressed as party of wedding party in lovely lavendar and black. Me...went as me. Many others dressed in wedding gowns, both beautiful and dark..theri version. Many came in t-shirts with all kinds of messages about Edward and Jacob. There was a Ma And Pa there dressed as Edwards parents..........they were very cool!!! I guess they have "real" fangs. Part of their shop advertisement. Anyway...I think they won first prize. Many other crazy dresses were scene. kayla saw a lot of her colorguard friends and friends from school...so she ditched me. Good...now I could sit and check out all the way cool people and sights!! Members of the party got to experience readings,lots of talking, chess, picture taken,waltzing and salsa dancing AND waiting for the book to be opened. We did not pre-order. Duh!! But we were encouraged to get a wrist sticker to acknowledge that we will buy a copy tonight. Sooooooooooooooo we waited and waited. By 11 ish I started to look around and realize that we weren't getting out till two am.... So I got Kayla and said we are outta here! She was disappointed.but...fear not... Walmart was on our way home and we waited 20 minutes for their opening of book and GOT IT!!!! Out the door we went 12:05 am.. Yeah us. Isn;t life grand when it goes the way you plan it????! LOL

A cloudy day!

I cannot believe it! We had a cloudy day from early am till 3 p.m. It was wonderful...my skin did not sizzle, I didn't break a monstrous glow of moisture... And the biggy........ the temperature was a very cool 96 degrees!! It is amazing what ten to twelve degrees can do for a person. So what did I do that day? I got new streaks in my hair...went to lunch at quaint Italian joint...and toured downtown Keller. There are a block or two of little shops that you go tour........... and of course spend money but since I was poor since Monday I ahd no money........ I window shopped. There was a shop that for very girly girls and a bakery there too givng frsh strawberry cupcakes away...didn't ea them though... went to very eccentric shop with a few items I could think to buy for myself or someone... another shop had lots of smeely soaps, lorions, jewrly and sand art. Went a little further and saw more eccentris itmes and weird that decided It was fun to visit but not for me. That... my friends... is the jist of my day till 4 pm.. The rest is horsy!!! Tah

July -- Horse Competition

Good things finally come to K. She finally decided to compete in horse jumping even though it is sooooooooooooo warm here. She was decked out in her grab...black velvet hat, tan breeches, white long sleeve shirt, whip, boots and horse--JJ. SHe arrived 7:30 am.. and waited her turn .... noon. ugh...........ugly heat way out in country. She was melting fast. The fun wore off and she needed to be done and out of her hot clothes... but wait she warmed the horse up AND fell off 2 times!!! Oh no! Alas, her instructor said, great K, now you can jump 3 feet over bar with no regrets!!! And ....... she did. She came in 10th place out of 22 girl jumpers.

Baseball

What a fun week! Besides the heat....blah, blah, blah. I got to go to a Rangers (baseball) game with Mike on Tuesday. What a neat looking stadium ...I hear George Bush had a hand in it. I was impressed for a stadium that was built maybe ten years ago ooked so good. But, this is Texas! The seats that we had were good...11th row from home plate. It was quite entertaining with the team doing well, and all the busy people and sellers to watch. Then how cool is this!!! A very mature lady and got up to beat her tom, tom for the Rangers to hit a home run!! She has been doing this for years and years and has her own seat now. next to her sits a very dressed up man in chaps and all that gear. I was hot wearing a t-shirt with shorts...cannot imagine how he was feeling. What a great fan. Also with us was the HR lady from Ca. that works with him and his boss. We did the usual food thing water, hot dogs, nachos, pop, and yes....cotton candy folks! Yummoo. All in all it was fun for smeone who doesn't enjoy baseball since it is slow and boring ...I think it helped being so close to the action...maybe I will go again. The rangers beat Seattle that night. Good job for them. I aslo got to the the vision of one billion dollars!!!! Yes..the Dallas Cowboy Stadium in the making. So far it looks alienish. I still cannot believe that it costs that much................ I know it's texas.............. can you imagine what you would do with one billion dollars?? I cannot imagine.......................

HOT!!!! HOT!!!!!!! HOT....

What a week we had. It has been 103-107 degrees and well...I want some doggone rain. Sun is totally boring now. Sun... lovely hot, hot sun. It makes your skin scream aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
no more please!!! The girls and I have been hanging since this week the older are gone to band activities. We did the rent the movie thing.......10,000 B.C. not good. Good enough for a dollar though. We rented She's a Man. I didn't watch that but K and G said it was good. We want to rent Penelope but it is always out. We or I wanted to go to see Mama Mia but adult friends were gone on vacation...........ya know Florida, Mexican Riviera, Calif. Washington and such. We watched Mulan for fun because of the music. Oh and College Road trip ...I laughed till I needed to have a moment to put myself back together!!! Loved it!!!!! It kind of reminds me what will happen in less, less folks than 2 years............. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes, it's hot ...we have a pool.......... but certain temps. don't feel refreshing anymore.......... ummmm 90 degrees in pool??? No thanks. We went to a water park on friday called NRH2O. A blast that was. They had many slides of diff. sorts, a rollercoaster designed to get you wet baby!!! And, of course the wave ool and lazy river all for $22 pp.. I laid in river and wave pool.............nice! A friend of mine wa sthere with her younger kids and we had a blast catching up since the summer has arrived. One thing we forgot to do ...put sun lotion on our backs!!!!
Oooouchhh! All 4 of us were hot that night. It was a lot of fun...we enjoyed subway subs for dinner since we were so tired and exhausted from putting way to o much energy in sun bathing and getting wet! haha. So if anyone comes to visit ... in the warm months...really warm months we will go to NRH2O. After band camp and colorguard camp is done we hope to visit Six Flags which is 40 minutes from us and Hurricane harbor...another wet and wild adventure. The hopefully we will visit Ok. to go to waterfall and river with tubes!!! Yes. Sounds waterfuly delicious.

No pics of us at waterpark........... only memories!
