Oh, Hey...

I am joining in a blogger link-up that is [supposed] to be on Fridays. But I was feeling just a tad bit lazy last night to join up. So that brings us to Saturday. =]

Today.

The day I should be blogging a mushy gushy embarrassing post about my little girl and her big 3 birthday. And how I put her in time out the first thing in the morning for opening up all her gifts....ok, all buy two. But anyway....that is for another day.


1. We drove 90 miles to replace my phone [we got it through Best Buy, and the closest one is 90 miles away], only to find out that I will have to go back there AGAIN this week because "they don't keep phones in stock" and won't ship it to us. Something about insurance and third parties. Insurance and third parties should all jump in the Atlantic.

Safe to say, I am not the biggest fan on Best Buy tonight.


2. There is a stretch of road that connects the isolated Torrington, WY to the capitol city Cheyenne, WY. It is quite possibly the longest, and most tedious drive you may ever (not) experience. Except for about right now. When Sunflower fields can be seen on the occasion, and it is a beautiful sight.


3. We have about a week left in our current apartment. Time frames for our move keeps changing. It was going to be this past Thursday, then this past Wednesday, then Monday, then this coming Friday, then NEXT Friday...now we are at this coming Friday again. I hope it stays. Now for some serious packing.


4. I have decorated my second and third cake this week. I think I need some more practice.

5. Today I got to enjoy a "time out" at chic-fil-a all by myself. Sweet, sweet moments devouring a bag with too much sauce. Oh, it was glorious.

Oh hey, Friday!

In case you haven't noticed, I am getting back into this whole blogging thing.
I want to write. So I need a name. I need to get out there and contribute. And this is my first step.

So, I am joining in a link up.


Five things. Five things about anything.

1. We are moving in (hopefully) a week. Maybe I will talk more about this once it has all happened, but right now, it still seem's surreal. We are at that point where about living in our apartment for 5 months, we were in a routine. Things were put where they belonged. And now it's like a sword fight went on through our small apartment. Somehow. One day, our place was clean. Then you start THINKING about packing, and the next thing you know, the place is as good as gone.


2. I was going to make beans for dinner. I had them all sorted and rinsed, and was waiting for the water to boil when Seamus woke up from his nap. I went to check on him, and when I came back, Sariah had decided to help. By pouring the entire bowl in the sink.
I didn't really care about not having beans for dinner, but we don't have a garbage disposal. So i had to pick all those beans out so they wouldn't clog the drain. Talk about tedious.

3. My kid's birthday's are next week. My little dude turns ONE. And Sariah? In a week, she will be THREE. Luckily for us, they are too young to care about birthday parties. Because moving + birthdays don't go well together.


4. I call Seamus little dude. Or dude. Sariah is little girl. Seamus responds equally to Seamus, Shea (or Shay, or Sea, we have not decided on spelling yet), and dude.


5. Today I had a "time out". Really, Sariah was in time out, Seamus was asleep- and I ate the last piece of cheesecake. It was good. It was also from a box. No bake. Joe doesn't care for cheesecake (so he says), so I bought this one day thinking I would make it one time when he was away on a trip when I needed a quick pick-me-up. Finally made it. He decided he likes "this cheesecake".  Let me tell you, this has happened too many times before. He doesn't like pistachios till I get a big bag for free. Then they are his best friend.
My only regret was that there was not another last piece for after lunch.
