What is wrong with this picture??

Here is the top part! The little Tazmanian Devil!

Gumball Fever

Today I had one of those "what have I done" moments. I responded to an ad on Freecycle for a 5-ft tall Gumball Machine. (I know! What was I thinking?!) When I picked it up it was a disaster. There were about 100 old dissolving gumballs in it, the top was detached and there was tape residue everywhere. I was thinking, should I stick this on the sidewalk with a FREE sign on it?So, naturally I drove it over to my friends the Goddards house. Fortunately, Beths Father-in-Law Jim was visiting who is an Engineer. And Greg (bubble boy), who is very handy with projects like this, was around. So they disassembled it, we washed it up, and they put it back together with NO extra pieces! Just how they wanted to spend their Sunday afternoon Im sure! As you can see, it is looking almost like new! Nice work guys!!

Alfalfa

Don was nice enough to ride out to the ranch with me on Sunday. I'm not quite sure how he got up on the stack of hay.

Out of Commission

All day Tuesday this was my view. Yes, I had the Flu and my toilet was my best friend!

A lot of thoughts go through your head when you are waiting to die.

1. I need to get my core (a.k.a. stomach muscles) in better shape!

2. Maybe Ill lose a few pounds when this is all over.

3. Do I have any jello, 7-up or chicken soup in the cupboard? Leftover Chinese isnt really appetizing when you are recovering.

4. At what point would I need to dial 911?

5. How did my hair get so crazy looking?

(These are the guys I was hanging out with over the weekend. I think I picked up the bug from the beany baby.)

Mr. R?

Will the real Mr. R please stand up?! Seems these two both take advantage of being mistaken for one another from time to time. It might help if you would quit dressing alike!

Bachelor Impersonator!

While he says he doesnt like watching The Bachelor, somehow he ends up watching each week. Hmmm? Now Greg likes to call me up during the show impersonating Andy in his dumbest sounding surfer-dude voice. (He actually does it pretty well!) It cracks me up!

Andy is down to the final two! Stay tuned!

Stamp Prices Going Up

Dont forget...Monday stamp prices go to .41 cents. Anyone have some .02 cent stamps??

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there! Cheers!

I'd like a schedule like this!

When Andrew, age 8, came home the day after his dads big Fiesta Birthday Party he wanted to know why this was on his schedule! :)

Happy Birthday Greg!

...and Happy Cinco De Mayo! Beth decided to get a Mariachi Karaoke group to entertain at his party.

What happens when you combine beer, Petron, Mariachi Karaoke and a pinata? You dont want to know! Let's just say you shouldnt hand people a stick when they have been consuming lots of tequila! Happy Birthday Greg!! Check out my Flickr photos for more!

Hooray for Bollywood!

Get ready for the next big craze! It's Bollywood dance classes! I just took my first class last night and had a blast. Im not sure that my body is meant to do some of the moves that they taught us, and I am not very coordinated, but it sure was fun. If you've ever seen some of those music videos on the Indian cable channels then you know what the dances look like. You have to give it a try!
