My oh My

I really did post yesterday. I promise. It was beautiful. Creative. But now all that I have is: Go visit my sister's blog. She's in Spain for the semester.
Sorry, but that's I that I have.

Oh and please leave a comment. I'd love to write someone, anyone.

Second Day

This weekend was so much fun. However, because my digital camera is so crappy (and I can't get a new one until I get a job) I didn't get any action shots with it. I did, however bring my 35mm. I have to take the film to have it developed. I will be going into town on Thursday so I should be able to post them.

OK, the 2 day youth rodeo. GREAT GREAT GREAT. Really. I had a ton of fun, because we stayed overnight in the RV. Gosh that thing was great. (It's no Hyatt, it's an 1984 Chevy motor home.) We got there, set up. Did the broncs and sheep. Yeah monster and Great kid (I can't give out names, because I didn't ask.) Our friends stayed with us, which was fun as well. We got to go back to the RV, rest and wait out the 102+ barrel/pole bending riders. Next rodeo I'll take a few shots of those as well, so I can post here. Then we rode bulls-GO Great Kid!!! Camped out, slept, woke up, made breakfast, rode again.


The monster--Chillin'

Oh yeah, My wonderful husband went hunting Saturday morning. He told me I should put the following picture up. So per Husband's request:


I don't have anything great, or frugal today. I can tell you this is the second day of no job. Great. I had plans to already have the laundry room cleaned and organized. Yep, that hasn't happened yet. Um...maybe tomorrow. I will do disgusting before and after pictures.

RODEO

Welp. Today was the second youth rodeo for the monster. We had a blast. We drove the 1.5 hours down to South Carolina. Took the camper. Cooked out. Spent the night. Gosh we had a ton of fun.

I'll post pictures and write a creative something tomorrow. Today I'm so very very very tired.

CALL ME!!

Come on some place that needs a, whatever I'm good at. (Sorry to end in a prepositional phrase.) Please just call me about a job. I'm a little worried about the whole no job thing. Really.

Anyway, I'm just very stressed today. I feel stressed. Woke up last night stressed. Stress, stress, stress. Maybe if I run today on the treadmill I'll feel better. Gosh something has to feel better. I hate this dread.

I'm not all that depressed, even though it sounds like it. I try to see the good in everyday. I got up today. I played with my monster today. I have a job for the day. I have friends. It's a glorious day outside. But inside I have all this nervous energy. Maybe I need to take an iron pill. I'll try that and hope this crazy feeling goes away.

Until tomorrow-which is my last day at work. And I'm stressed.

Spray paint

I spray painted my kitchen. We live in an older house. We have an old 1950's gas stove, which you'll get to see in this post. I hated the way that area of my kitchen looked. See...



So I went to Walmart to buy spray paint for those canisters listed below. I picked up shiny silver, so it would hopefully look like metal. Then the frugal girl in me saw the following color and it was $1. WooHoo! So I got it. I figured if I didn't like it I could buy the expensive stuff. I think it turned out kinda nice.



And my wonderful husband just told me I needed to finish my project of painting the cabinets. Thanks. I'll get to that next week since no one wants to call me back about a job.

Thanks

My Friends!!

I really don't know where this post went. I thought I published it. So anyway...

Sunday, my best friend came to visit me. She's so cool and mega sweet. Here's her pic--

We are calling her Laura. I love her like a sister that I don't fight with. You know those kind of friends.

She and her hubby drove an hour to come visit with us. So while the big boys went to go get drinks for dinner, we ran over to see my mom. Well, Mom was working on a quilted coat. She needed to add the buttons. She pulled out the "BAG-O-BUTTONS" (to be said like some big announcer man).



Which literally,as you can see, is a pillow case FULL of buttons. Most of them are very cool. We couldn't find anything that was just perfect. So---we dyed some. Yes, You can dye buttons. We tried a couple of different kinds, but apparently not all will "accept" the dye. But we dyed the ones for her coat, and it was supper cool. (Yes, E & M-my sisters-Mom dyed buttons.) We did it.



Then we came back home. Ate chili, and some YUMMY broccoli salad that Laura makes. Gosh that stuff it good. It's the kind with raisins, carrots, and other stuff. Man it's good. We talked, had fun, then they had to leave. Which was sad.

I'll be so happy when we get to visit again.

Crafting

I promised a night time post. I went shopping today for a bridal shower gift. I forgot to look at the "expensive" registry to find it at the discount store. So I saw a post on some one's blog for this idea.



It's a storage jar with a chalk board area for writing. I would show you. But I didn't read the directions. The paint is supposed to dry for 24 hrs. :o So what am I to do? I'm going to fake it and hope it's dry in about 16 hrs, finish the process in the morning, and send it off to the bridal shower with my mother. Hope it works.

I was going with her. However, we are supposed to have a rodeo tomorrow for Jimmy. But it's also supposed to rain tomorrow. So I'm really not sure that it will happen.

I'll try to post some pictures. Really it's cute when he rides his sheep. I'll explain it all tomorrow. I'll also post some pictures of the "finished" bridal gift.
