Last One
This is my last sponsored post until I get new assignments and I just thought of something I could really talk about.
A few nights ago me and hubby were playing World Of Warcraft and were in a pretty tough spot to just walk away. But our dog, Sasha, was barking up a storm.
She's a barker. She'll bark at leaves or plastic bags.. birds.. you name it. Hubby got up and went to put the bark collar on her then rushed back. It wasn't until the next morning when he went to let her out that he noticed something odd.
The lawn chairs that were supposed to be on our little patio had been moved about six feet out into the grass. The hummingbird feeder we have hanging on a hook was down. This just made us feel all creepy. Someone messing with our stuff. *UGH*
I guess we'll pay more attention when Sasha barks.

I'll Try
Normally when doing sponsored posts I can find a nice way to add the link. If not, I'll just through it at the bottom of the post.
The link for this post is "colon cleanse"..
I'm not exactly sure what that is. I DID have a colonoscopy a while back, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing. It's not the most pleasant thing in the world, but certainly not the most awful either. The fasting is worse than the procedure.
Animal Lover
I am an animal lover. I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't had at least one pet. I wouldn't want to ever be pet free, in fact.
But horses. I admire them. They are truly beautiful creatures.
When I was young my mom and (evil) stepdad owned a Shetland Pony. I got on it to go for a little ride and it took off like a bat out of Hell. I fell, of course, and that started a small series of incidents for me that made me afraid to be near horses.
The next time we were on vacation somewhere and we rented horses to explore some trails. MY horse would not move and when it did it would not go the right way. A similar experience happened a couple years later.
There are a few more things but I won't bore anyone with the details.
Maybe better saddles were needed. Maybe I'm one to just admire horses from a distance.
2nd Week
Today begins the second week of hubby's two week vacation. We haven't gone anywhere or done anything which is surprising for us. Even stranger, we haven't even talked about it.. no maybe we could go here, maybe we could go there.
I've gotten very lazy.. ok, we both have. But that's alright. Lazy is good once in a while.

Just a quickie..
How different is your current hairstyle from the one you had ten years ago?
Lazy Days
The first week of hubby's vacation is almost over already. We enjoyed a few days with my daughter and her two daughters and since then we've mostly been playing World Of Warcraft and being extremely lazy. There were two days in a row when we didn't even get out of our jammies.
Tomorrow I think we'll need to venture out into the real world and pick up some groceries. (Or at least another loaf of bread to make more sandwiches.) I need to pay a visit to Goodwill for some new books, too. I just started reading the last "new" one I have.
Green Bags
This may look like a sponsored post, but it isn't. (Yet.)
Have ya'll seen the commercials for these bags? I have and recently I was in the checkout line at Walmart and saw them on a shelf and thought what the heck and bought a box.
I am here before you today to tell you that they really DO work just like the commercial says!!!
You know how you open a bag of salad and two or three days later it's turning all brown and yucky? I emptied a bag of salad into one of these and it kept for over a week. Bananas stay fresh longer.. tomatoes and all your other fresh produce, too. They are reusable.. simply rinse them out, let them dry and you're good to go.
I just thought I'd pass it along.

Remember when I said "yet"? Here's a link to something else.. no balance transfer fee.

I Scream For Ice Cream
Your Ice Cream Personality: |
 You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You have a wild reputation, but you're not as wild as you seem. You take risks, but only measured risks. You are very set in your ways and very conservative. You rather stick to what's tried and true than do something new. You are a natural multitasker. You feel alive when you're doing more than one thing at a time. You are a serious and contemplative person. You definitely do your own thing in life. |

You've just grilled a hotdog. What toppings do you add to make it perfect for you?

News From Home
Here's what's new from my world..
This coming Thursday me & hubby will be driving across the state to pick up daughter and her two daughters. They will stay with us until Sunday! We've not spent much time with either of these granddaughters so it will be nice!
It's possible that both sons and families will be driving over Friday for a 4th of July cookout, too, and then fireworks. (Happy Dance.)
Hubby has the 4th off and on Monday he starts a two week vacation. We usually go somewhere, but right now we don't have any plans. Of course that may change at the drop of a hat.
I've been spending my days and nights playing World Of Warcraft. I've created a couple new characters and am having fun leveling them up.
Heads Or Tails #45 - Summertime Memory
As a parent, we all have moments that are so totally unexpected, that we can't imagine how we would ever manage to deal with them. But, somehow, we do. My HoT for the week describes one such time..
It was at the end of summer and Younger Son (6th grade age) had taken his bike to the nearby school property to ride. The property had a couple steep hills and Younger Son decided to be a daredevil and take his bike down one of them. Near the bottom his bike hit a rock.. Younger son went flying over the handlebars.. and skidded quite a while on his face.
I was sitting at home talking with a neighbor when in walks Younger Son. He was covered in blood and dirt and was almost unrecognizable and of course crying. My heart fell to my feet in less than ten seconds as he explained what had happened.
I don't remember if my now ex-husband was already home or if he was called home, but I know he rushed Younger Son to the doctor's office where it took quite a while to get Younger Son cleaned up enough to have his injuries looked at. It was awful.. unimaginable. Even the doctor had a hard time dealing with it.
Younger Son had practically skinned off one side of his face. His chin needed stitches. (I took him the next day or so to the optometrist because of the injury around his eye.) In follow-up doctor appointments talk of him possibly needing plastic surgery was a topic that was tossed around. Thankfully that never was needed.
The recovery was painfully slow it seemed. Younger Son slept on the sofa bed and I slept nearby so I could hear him if he needed me.
That was one summer I will never forget.

I bet you know the words to this summer song!
