still alive

we are still alive. and doing...well not as great as before, but we are still relatively fine. i will post on here sometime...i just dont seem to have anything overly exciting to post about =D i hope everyone has a nice weekend...especially if you get that extra day off!!!!

lawn mowing

so. yesterday i mowed the lawn for the first time this season. it was almost to the point where i needed to mow or get ready to make hay =D
which leads me to two short trains of thought.
1. apparently some people find mowing relaxing...is this common?
2. you may not think that it is possible to be bad at mowing, due to the shear mindlessness of this task, but...i am actually bad at mowing. my lawn never looks picture perfect when i am done. It always looks better when someone else mows it....which might be the point in and of itself=D
needless to say, i am not relaxed by mowing. I really do not like to mow.

much sarcasm

So, I am feeling exceptionally whiney. In the last 24 hours I have managed to lightly electrocute myself, and smash my thumb with a hammer. Obviously I have been productive and I deserve a break.....so I am going downtown to reward my self with........grocery shopping. Woohoo =D
I think the reason that I am feeling so sarcastic is because in the last two hours I have officially become stupider.
Now, I can watch a lot of kids shows....Hannah Montana is adorable and I love Handy Manny. Dora and Diego shows...I hate. But what I just watched with katelyn totally tops the charts! .......and the winner of the worst show on Disney channel is......The Cheetah Girls!
Okay.......my sarcasm is now officially over. My week doesn’t necessarily need improvement, it would just be nice if I didn’t keep hurting myself on household appliances.....

short random stories

sometimes katelyn says things wrong and its amusing....
the other day, we were talking about the crop walk... which she then refered to as the crap walk and the crab walk....in front of a high school teacher at canton.....maybe you had to be there, but it was quite amusing.....

earlier that day.....katelyn was getting married...to me....she brought me flowers and asked if i would be her waffle wedded wife.....hahaha.

twoish years ago, bryan's mom gave katelyn a talking play princess kitchen...last night in the middle of the night, i randomly hear a fake tea kettle going off and a voice saying "i love tea parties" over and over and over. I wonder what katelyn thought when she woke up in the middle of the night to her light beinig on and me unscrewing her kitchen....weird.

and weirder yet...on the way to supper tonight, i passed a guy on a bus stop bench...he was shaving his face with an electric razor.....in the middle of town....weird....

you know you're a scrapbooker when...

i want to add to the list that carla had on her blog. this is what katelyn said to my grammas optician yesterday.
"if your shirt were a piece of paper, it would be a great scrapbook design"
ha. i've created a tiny scrapbooking monster!

contentment

i am pretty much feeling content these days. Nothing exceptionally interesting is going on. Katelyn had another soccer game...she did very well, we've spent time outside...thanks to the weather! yesterday we did some spring cleaning. I purged our closets of clothing that we dont wear anymore and the amount of garbage bags that i filled with clothing to give away is....sad. This didnt include Katelyn's closet. Just mine and Bryans.
I find that i look forward to planning things and having special trips or events to look forward to, in order to break up the mundane, normal days that make up my life. But at the same time, I love my life. I like having a family and a house to take care of and i usually enjoy my mundane normal days. I am feeling verycontent and at the same time, very blessed.

the good and the bad

well, i fell off the wagon, i drank....soda. my self control was low this morning, and there was no breakfast in my tummy, so when that mountain dew said hi to me at walmart, I just knew we had to be together! But dont worry, this wont ruin everything, I will keep trying to not drink soda.

and the good is that i parallel parked for the first time in years today and I totally nailed it! i was totally high fiving myself! =D
