Me Again

Holy cow, I'm posting again this week. What is wrong with me? hehehehehe Man what a busy week. I told you all about the pumpkin fest last weekend. Well....Monday we go trick or treating. Tues...deliver some avon, make a bunch of phone calls, get kiddo hurry and do homework, and get him to football practice. Today I got my hair cut and football practice. Thurs...I have a chiropractors appointment, a nail appointment (time to get the bats and ghost off and something for Halloween put on) get kiddo, rush through homework, and football practice. Fri...we have football practice, more avon stuff, and Gigantor wants to go out coyote hunting in the evening. Plus some friends coming into town so visiting. Sat....I need to go to the airport and get the info to get my dad's ticket for Christmas, take kiddo and big J to the matinee (Chicken Little) looks hilarious, watch the ball race down main street, (you can purchase a plastic ball, about softball size, and they are putting them in a cement truck and launching them down our main street which is on a hill, winner gets 1/2 the money from it, and local food banks and charities get the other half), then they are having a street fair and a balloon glow all down main street. We are having the hot air balloon regatta in town this weekend, and they do a glow at night. 50 some odd balloon and baskets set up on main street and you can climb around in them, and talk to the people and pull the thing to do the fire thingie (don't know the technical term) and it's all sorts of fun. I'll need a week to rest after all this. LOL

Short and sweet again today. I will leave you all with another fun thing. Go try Hangman

Happy Wed everyone!!!!

Cat Bowling

Well trick or treating was a success. We went to a slightly richer part of town. hehehehe All the good stuff is over there. Kiddo went as Darth Vader, and he went with J--who was a girl, and he went with little M who was Sully from Monsters Inc. Half way through J's high heels started hurting his feet. hehehe Half way through Kiddo's helmet, the eyes got foggy from his breathing, and when the sun went down since it was a shaded helmet he couldn't see. So...he too, it off and just went as a jedi instead. I was mad at his teacher. Most teachers didn't give homework last night. She loaded them down, big page of math, spelling and reading. I was ticked. Anyhow someone sent me something in the e-mail last night. It was so fun. Gigantor could only get a 66. I got a score of 110. Lets see if you can beat it. Have fun with CAT BOWLING!!

Happy Tuesday everyone. Got football practice tonight. hehehehe

Fun Weekend

OH what a fun couple of days it's been. Yesterday (Friday) Gigantor got sent home at lunch, because it had been raining all day. He can't work outside in the rain to well. He came home and we started running errands. Went to the bank, went to put payment on our couch, went to get a burger for lunch, went and got gas in the suburban, went to Bashas and spend 155 bucks on groceries, went to get kiddo, went and checked mail, went to walmart and got 115 bucks worth of stuff, came home and had to do the Avon order, made dinner, and died on the couch. heheheheeh

Today Kiddo and Gigantor went down to the sports complex, because they had something called Punt and Pass Saturday. All the kids that signed up to play NFL FLAG Football this season were invited. Well...Gigantor helped them out where they needed volunteers. Some people with the Arizona Cardinals football team were up here running the thing. When they came home, they were so excited. Gigantor had an Az Cards t-shirt, and a key chain, and a flop had that is black with the emblem on one side, then it's reversible and it's red camo on the other side with the emblem. Kiddo got, a back pack in black and red with Cards emblem, and a NFL FLAG football jersey black on one side, and then it's reversible and white on the other. He got a baseball cap with the card emblem, and a big emblem medallion on a string of big red beads (the beads were footballs) And a big poster of the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleading team. That daddy seemed much more excited about than Kiddo.

Then we went and picked up his friend K. We took them up to the Pumpkin Festival in the park. They had tons of carved pumpkins. They had the giant blow up obstacle courses and the blow up foam jousting arena. A giant giant giant bounce house, and a rock climb. They had some vendors with crafts, and more food booths than I have ever seen. We were starting to look around the park, and K ran up and asked if I would give him one more dollar so he could buy a marshmallow shooter. I said, "hold on K, lets walk all through the park first, then decide what we are gonna buy" So...I'm off looking at some crafts, and I turn around and K is putting something in a box, and all excited. I go, "what did you get?" he goes "a hermit crab" I think to myself OMG HIS MOTHER IS GONNA KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!! cuz I know I would be ticked if kiddo brought home another pet, and defiantly if it was a pet that I had to scrounge to find a habitat and the food, and everything. Oh I was sweating it so bad, the rest of the day. I could have rung his little neck. hehehehe

All the kids in the town wore their costumes. There was a costume contest, but we were too late for that. But they had trick or treating at all the vendors booths. The boys got a plastic bag about 1/4 full of candy and treats. They had tons and tons of live entertainment. I didn't know our community had so many talented musicians. Then they shot off a candy cannon about 7 times or so.

I ate a funnel cake for the very first time in my life. I didn't even know what one was till now. hehehehe

On the way out of the park, we got a funnel cake for everyone to share, a med size bag of fresh roasted cinnamon covered almonds, and a big bag of Kettle Korn. The boys got a snowie. We then went to K's house to drop off his stuff and see if he could come play. His mom came out, and said, well why don't you let kiddo stay here and have dinner, and we will all go up to the pumpkin lighting at 6 or so and I'll bring him home at 7. Okay that is cool!!! So...I then apologize a ton about the hermit crab. But K kept telling me his mom was gonna love it, and I didn't believe him. But...he knew best. His mom loved it. hehehehee

We came home, cleaned house, paid bills, roasted pinon's, then D came over, and we visited with him. Kiddo came home and we all ate some dinner and watched Unleashed. It was a pretty good movie. My favorite Jet Li movie is still THE ONE but it was still good.

Tomorrow we are cleaning pet cages, cleaning floors, carving a pumpkin, baking cookies for kiddo's Halloween party, cooking a nice big beef roast with veggies and trimmings, and gonna sit the family down and watch Haunted Mansion for Halloween. hehehehehee

I added a cute ass picture here. I was just in such a good mood that I added it cuz it makes me laugh.
Enjoy and have a good Sunday everyone.

If I don't post before then, please everyone have a happy and very very safe Halloween!!!


Just thought I would leave you with a picture of my most favorite birthday present I got. I know my birthday was a while back, but I just did something with the pictures. Notice the windchimes in the background (I collect those) And dragons on the shelf (I collect those also) Gigantor did good getting this oh so very cute zebra on a swing at that wild life park in Texas.

Thing While I was Sick

Orange for Halloween!!!! I'll try not to make this post to awfully long with everything that has been going on.

Two weeks ago, I thought I was dying. He I was so sick. I've been needing a couple things for the house in a bad way. I need a new kitchen table. I want one with a leaf so I can make it smaller or bigger. Ours--the legs are rickety, and the leaf has some broken pieces so it doesn't sit straight. I also very big time needed another couch and love seat. Mine were so worn out. I had had them for 10 years, and I bought them used from my aunt that had them maybe 10 or 15 years. They were in great shape when I got them, but now... Now they are all flat, and the bottom falling out. I had foam padding in between the couch and cushions, and pillows on top and it was still so low to the ground. So....Friday, two weeks ago. Gigantor comes home for lunch. And goes, "honey, Bruces Easy Rent, had a bunch of couch and love seats outside" I'm like OOoh. He says "yeah they had all of them selling as is, and there were expensive one's and a couple that were only 349 for the set" I'm like "Dayummmmmm what's wrong with them" He goes.."well....umm....they are purple, one is dark purple and one is light purple" I'm gagging cuz I hate purple, but dam we needed another couch and love seat in a bad bad way. So...I say "lets go look anyway" So...we drive down there, and Gigantor points and goes "seee" I look, I take off my shades and look, I put them back on and look. Then I slap his arm and go "YOU DORK" And take of his shades, and say "they are black and brown DUMBASS" He goes "Oh shit, my shades made them look purple" well duh!! So...we get out and look, They are both suede sets. They were repo's that they couldn't sell for the past 3 months so they marked them down to 349 bucks for the set. The black one was nice only a couple dirty spots, but the cushions were a little flat. The brown set is a dark chocolate brown, and the love seat has a couple light spots like cleaner was splashed there. I was told how to fix that. Fucking A, a higher, newer, genuine suede couch and love seat set that is only a year old!!! I go in and start signing paper work baby. Best part is, we only have to pay 50 bucks a month, and they delived them. Better than the price is THEY AREN'T PURPLE!!!!

Tuesday a week ago, was kiddo's school play. Gigantor was in it. It was about Freedom and American hero's. So...he was in his heavy ass fire "bunkers" (the big yellow pants and coat they wear" He sweated his ass off on stage, but it was for the kids, so anything for them. After the play we went down to the Kawasaki place to pick up our new baby. Two months of hard labor and crunching the numbers to figure out we could afford it. We have always known we would get 4 wheelers eventually (one of our goals) And we came across and excellent sale. It's a 650 Kawasaki. And we really started looking into it, when gas started killing us. We got an extended cab truck and a suburban people. We wanted to get one street legal so Gigantor could drive it to and from work and the fire dept. And on the plus side, we can load it in the truck and take it up to the mountain and out to the lake. So...we come across a screaming sale and deal. We got the 4 wheeler, got it street legal, got saddle bags for it, and got two helmets for 49 bucks a month for the first two years. The good part of that is...in just over a year we will have cleared up a bill that is 300 bucks a month, so we can easily put 200 a month on the 4 wheeler and still be saving money. The other plus is that every week we were getting 50 bucks in gas in Gigantors truck to squeeze by. We got gas this week in the 4 wheeler---nine dollar and fitty cents. Whoooo flippin hoooooo

On Wed of last week had to take two of the dogs to the vet. One check up and one allergy shot, for 75 bucks.

Thursday, we had parent teacher conferences. I won't get all the way into it. But lets just say I was ready to do battle with them. Kiddo was failing math and spelling, and it was their fault, cuz his regular teacher and special ed teacher (cuz he's behind in reading and timed work) never met and got on the same page. Poor kiddo was doing 4 to 5 hours of homework a night (4th grade people) And I was pissed the fuck off!!! Anyhow, met with them both at the same time. Got everyone on the same page. Told to disregard his report card it would be fixed next 9 weeks. Also given different class work and homework. Now only between 1/2 to 1 and a half hours of homework a night.

Weekend we cleaned house, put up Halloween decorations, and got the last part of his costume made (cape for darth vader) I just have to get some light sticks. He has black pants, black long sleeve shirt, black gloves, black cape, and a voice changing helmet. So he is gonna have a couple light sticks on his front and a couple on his back. He will be carrying a light saber and I'm gonna make him keep it turned on.

With how busy I was, it's no wonder that I could just not get well. I kept taking my meds. I finished my antibiotics on Monday, but I still don't feel all the way better. I can not for the life of me get rid of this cough. I take cold and cough thera flu, and then two thera flu cough strips and cough drops each night and it's iffy if I get any sleep cuz of the coughing.

I think I have updated you all for the past couple weeks. I really tried to keep it short. hehehehe

On a side note. My friend Phoenix over at Nest of the Phoenix --Said there is gonna be some big announcement soon. And everybody knows I have no patience so I keep bugging him about it. But he's not budging. Help a girl out would ya, and go over there and see if you can guess, like I have been doing.

Happy Hump Day All!!!

P.S. Spell check said for Kawasaki--should be Sausage

hehehehe

Living

Well I am back among the living. Not that I'm feeling great yet, but I am living. hehehehe

I got lots to update you all on, just not gonna do it today. HA!!

Been doing some housework, watching a couple movies, getting Darth Vaders cape made before the 31st. And roasting pinons. That's been a recap of my weekend. lmao Gonna have some buffalo steaks tonight. yuummie yuummie yuummmmmm

I will try either tomorrow or the next day to get my happy ass on here and post about what happened during the week I was dying. hehehehe. Life doesn't wait for you when you sick. I was so fricken busy last week.

Hope you all have a great Sunday evening!!!!

I'll post more soon. This is short. I'm sick!!! Sick sick sick sick sick. Did I mention I was sick. Went to the doctor on Saturday. Thera flu not working, dayquil not working, cough strips, cough drops, cough syrup not working, allergy meds really not working, antibiotics still haven't kicked in yet. Gonna go die in bed. Will write more when head doesn't hurt so much.

Love to you all!!!

Wow Since Monday

Wow Monday was the last day I posted. I would say time flys when your having fun, but I think I missed the fun part. hehehehe I've been sorta busy, had some fun, but, mostly busy.

Kiddo and Big J had forgone underwear man and pantyhose lad for now. They are now FART MAN AND BELCH BOY!!!! I do think this is more fitting, and possibly could keep Big J from being beat up at school. I think if he went around calling himself "panty hose lad" for to much longer, he was gonna get the tar knocked out of him. hehehehe

Weekend update

Well we decided to go pinon picking again on Saturday. This time we didn't go to the Kaibab, we went the other direction. We went out by Navajo Mountain. There were tons of tree's out there. We picked up Gigantors friend D, and kiddo's friend Big J. When Big J comes out of his house, he screams "I'M WEARING PANTYHOSE" apparently his dad told him about how some hunters will wear pantyhose to help keep them warm. So....Big J went and asked his mom if he could wear her pantyhose. She gave him a pair of red leotards. But he kept calling them panty hose. So... we start our 50 mile drive to our destination. And Gigantor is driving, i'm in the front seat, and D is behind me. The kiddo and Big J are in the third seat. They are playing pretend and keeping a pretty good chatty pace, and us adults were having a rather loud rambunctious conversation also. Well...a lull in the conversation happened. About two seconds after the silence we hear kiddo scream "IT'S THE ADVENTURES OF UNDERWEARS MAN AND PANTY HOSE LAD!!!" I horked orange juice out of my nose, and started cracking up so bad I almost peed my pants. Gigantor goes "WHAT THE HELL??" and started laughing so hard he almost drove us off the road. And D was laughing so hard I think he cracked a rib. Kiddo and Big J innocently go "what??" OMG OMG OMG it was so funny. So then the boys caught on that it was funny, and started their giggling.

The directions the Navajo gentleman that works with Gigantor were great. Turn left at Navajo Mountain, and go around 15 miles give or take and turn right at the big windmill. And there are tree's everywhere. Well...he was dead on, it was perfect. Let me just say that yes we were all covered in sap, and it was hard work, but we have over 10lbs of pinons now. Now I just have to wash them up and cook them.

We built a fire, cuz 1. it was chilly and 2. we needed to cook lunch. Hot
dogs and smores again. hehehehee I'm sitting close to the fire, D on my right, Gigantor and Kiddo on my left, and Big J right across from me. I was holding the marshmallow bag passing them out, and my sappy hand/arm was stuck to my shirt, but I didn't realize that. After everyone is armed with little white puffs of sugary heaven. I decide to put the bag back on the table, which is to my left and sorta behind me. As I start to put the bag away, I realized my shirt was stuck to my hand. How I realized that, is I pulled it all the way up and almost off my head. I just sorta innocently go, OooOps. And I look up and Big J's eyes are about as big as the marshmallows. I'm like "did I flash you Big J??" he nods his head yes. I go "my stomach or full boob" and everyone is giggling by now. And Big J goes "I got the double wammie!!" Well we all started laughing to the point of peeing our pants again. Then D and Gigantor say, "dam we should have sat across from you" hehehehe

The place we were at, is all sandy, like our town. And we don't have ordinary sand. It's not soft like beach sand, it's not fine like dirt. It's really very grainy, sorta like salt. And it's bright red. This sand is soo deep that it's easy to get stuck and when you walk around it covers your entire foot, sometimes coming up to your ankles. It's a great work out I tell you. For some reason my son could not stay on his feet. Almost eveywhere he went, he face planted. He was booking it back to me to show me some rocks he found and put the pinons in the bucket. And he goes flying right on his face, and exclaims "OH MANNNNNNNNN" He spilled all his goodies and had to pick them back up. The good thing is, since that sand is to deep and so loose, it sorta cushions your fall. We knew every time the kiddo fell. The forest was riddled with "OH MANNNNNNN'S " every few minutes. It was so dang funny.

At 4:30 it began to rain really hard. (we had dealt with sprinkles all day) so we decided to come home. On the drive home, we heard about lots of adventures of Underwear Man and Pantyhose Lad!!! They even made up poses for themselves. After we got home, Big J's dad came down to pick him up. As soon as he walks in the door. Kiddo announces, " My mom showed Big J both her boobs!!!!" His dad was like WHAAAAUUUUUUUTTTTT?? He was laughing, and when we told him the story, he was doubled over. Then the boys told him about their super hero's. I'm not sure if Big J's parents are ever gonna let me have him again. I mean I corrupt him by showing him my ta ta's and then he is going around calling himself "PANTYHOSE LAD"

Okay that had me laughing all over again. I'm gonna go do something. I don't know yet, but I'm sure it will be something. heheheheh

Happy Monday all!!!!

Good News

My suburban was making the worst noise. It sounded like there were gnomes tinkering around in the engine as I drove. It was louder than a diesel. I was sure the engine was just gonna up and fall out of it at any moment. Our friend who works on alot of cars, told us it was the alternator (bearing on it) Gigantor and I started pricing alternators. Cheapest one we found was 110 bucks, and a belt for 30. But we sorta remembered that we had the alternator rebuilt a while back. Well...I couldn't find any paperwork in the 2005 file. So Gigantor pulled out the old file box, and we found it. The receipt for the rebuild. It was dated November 2004 and it has a 1 year warranty. WHOOOOOOOOO MOTHER BUNNY HUMPING HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! It's in the shop right now and everything is gonna be free. yessssssssssssssssssssss

Doo Dads

That's all I have is little doo dads of stuff today.

Yesterday--My old man (Buck the Bassett) fell down the porch when we went out, and he sorta just layed on his side and back and couldn't get up. So...in my mad scramble to get down to help him, I slip and land on my ass on the side of the step. So I got cornered in the crack I guess you would say. Dog is fine, he was just stunned. Kiddo sure thought my episode was hilarious. So did the lady across the street. Got Buckers back inside and let him sleep on a cushie blankie.

Also...what the fuck with me falling lately. I tripped over the cat scratching post, and luckily the wall was right there, cuz I was gonna fall people and it caught me. That was on my way to the bathroom. Get in the front guest bathroom, and pull down my pants, and the fucking rug slipps right the hell out from under me. I slip, my feet fly forward and up, and I fall with a KERPLOP. Thankfully I fell right on the toilet where I wanted to be. And double lucky that we have cushie seats. But it did protest by making a loud whooooosssshhhhh noise when I fell on it. Of course after my shock. I giggled alot after word.

The wind is blowing about 45mph here today. Realized we gotta trim the tree in the back, it sounds like someone trying to bang down the house.

And I haven't shaved my legs or armpits in about 5 months. My legs are so hairy, they are scary. hehehehe I better get to that today, but with my luck, I'll cut a major artery and bleed to death.

Anywhooo. I have a very important question today. Wonder if any of you can help me with.

WHY IN THE HELL DOES KIDDO HAVE TO LEAVE HIS DIRTY UNDERWEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF MY COUCH EVERY FRICKEN DAY?????????

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!

Pinons and Flaming Crotches

Well Saturday we went up to the mountain to go pinon picking. We got Dorko's advice a little to late. hehehee We were covered in sap. And of course I forgot to take any soap. So we had to scrub our hands with dirt. The kids got bored really fast, cuz there were no critters running about down in the pinon pines. And it was way hotter near them, then up around the ponderosa and aspens. So....we only ended up picking about an hour or two. And it was our first try, so we hadn't perfected any technique yet. We know what we are gonna do next time, and it should be much faster and much more productive.

Anyhow about 1 or so, we decide to drive up into the ponderosa and take a back road to go find a clearing and make a fire and have lunch and smores hehehehe
We go on this road (if you can call it a road) a very "less traveled" road. And got down in this little canyon, and followed it for about a half hour. Then we pulled off and dug a fire pit, set the boys to collecting fire wood. And roasted hot dogs. It was way chilly up there too, after we got out of the Pinon pines. So we had coats on, and all had our chairs pretty close to the fire. After hot dogs we roasted marshmallows and made smores. The boys kept throwing pine needles and little sticks on the fire. Young boys just love to throw shit on fire. And Gigantor was letting them throw small things of our trash on the fire. Well...Gigantor gets this avon box we were using with the nuts out. It was covered in sap. So..he tears it in half and decides to throw it on the fire. He throws the first half, and the fire flames way way up. And the wind starts. Both boys, scream HOT HOT HOT and pull their chairs way way back. I'm trying to get out of my chair and do the same thing, and the wind blows it right all over me. I yell at Gigantor as I'm trying to tip my chair backwards away from it, and he runs in between me and the fire, and I get moved back. So...me and the boys are screaming at him for putting that big thing on the fire when we are that close, and not to do it again. He's sorta giggling. If you could have seen it, it was a rather funny sight. I then announce to him "THANKS ALOT FOR COOKING MY CROTCH" And the boys literally fell over laughing. Upon further inspections, my shoestrings and the hair on my arms was singed. I also had a hole in the stomach of my shirt where an ember landed and burnt it. The boys seemed fine, but we found a nickel size burn hole on Big J's coat. We then put the fire out, and decided to get going. Gigantor decides instead of turning around he wants to drive along the path (NOT A PATH) and see where it comes out. So...we are bumping, and jumping along the trail in 4 wheel drive. We get in an area we can't turn around or back up, and to go forward, we scrape a 5 inch in diameter branch down the passenger side of the suburban GRRRRRRRRRRR We then find a hill this little path goes up. (hill HA it was a fricken cliff) and Gigantor is trying to put it in 4 low and go up. Me and the kids are yelling at him. NO NO NO NO NO He's like "well if I don't make it, we will go back down" This thing looked so steep and angled to one side in a couple places I knew we would get stuck or flip. So...I very sternly in my "don't mess with mom" voice told him "there is no FUCKING way you are going up this cliff" He got mad, but finally turned around. The trial that would have taken us a half hour if we turned around by the camp fire, took us 2 hours to finally get out of. Stupid men. I mean the worst part would be if something did happen. Hardly anyone was on the mountain, and we are on this trail that only maybe was used once last year. And our cell phone was on roam. NO NO NO NO NO

We finally get out on the main road and get back to Jacob Lake Lodge (don't ask me, there are no lakes on that mountain) and go potty, and buy the boys a GIANT cookie, and set out for home. (hour and a half away) It was 8 at night before we got home. We were so dang tired.

We were so tired we were lazy yesterday. Did some dishes, and laundry and watched t.v. That was about it. Lazy lazy. Well Gigantor did have to unload the suburban. I've been picking pine needles out of the pinon seeds now. Then I can wash and cook them.

Well I could probably talk about more stuff. Like the parade, or the stunt motorcyle riders, or the movies we watched, or even how my vortex bra has come back in full force!!!! But I've rambled long enough. And I'm still trying to brainstorm over a halloween costume. Nothing has completely appealed to kiddo yet. I keep wanting him and his friend to go as a booger and a finger, but they don't wanna play that game. hehehehehe

Happy Monday all!!!!

ummmm I dunno

I have no idea what to put for a title. hehehee Whatever.

Anyhow...this week marks the beginning of my seasonal, un healthy infatuation with the hot cocoa again. My husband was so disturbed by it last year, that he wanted to seek out professional help for me. But...HA IN YOUR EYE!!!!! Because of my hordings, and booby trapping the hiding place I have an entire 1/2 can, that's half a giant can of hot cocoa powder to start this season off with. *insert evil laugh here*

There has been an amazing pinon season this year. Past few years it was horrible, not enough rain. But this year. Oh my, so many pinons, and they are so dang big. Pinons being a pine nut that is harvested off of the Pinon Pine tree. It's a big thing here. Alot of the older Navajo's go out pinon collecting, then they cook them up and sell them. We have always bought a bag or two of pinons each year. Being as that is all we can afford. Take a ziplock sandwich bag and maybe put a measured cup or cup and a half in it. And they sell those for about 5 bucks a piece. It's horrible, but it's a delicacy we like to indulge in each year. This year the crop is HUGE. Seems like everyone is selling pinons this year. Gigantor bought a 3lb bag of raw one's for 5 bucks. We are going to try to cook them ourselves. Never done it before, so wish me luck. hehehee
Also... that made me have this kookie idea. I thought Hmmmm we haven't been up to the mountain in a long time (Kaibab national forest) Why not go up on Saturday, and pick our own pinons. We could go spend the day on the mountain, have a picnic, and spend our time raking under tree's, then beating the hell out of the tree, then collecting all the nuts off the ground. hehehehe I may regret this, but I think it sounds like fun.

OOOOOooOoO another cool thing about the Kaibab. Have any of you heard about the rare Kaibab Squirrel??? It's beautiful. Only place on earth it's found, and we are only an hour from it. hehehehe It's a blackish grey with a solid white tail, and no it isn't a skunk. LOL Anyhow, I found this cute little sight that a guy photo documented a rare encounter with one. So.... Click here It's some of the best photo's of the squirrel I've seen. Plus I thought it was a cute little encounter.

Anyhow, the Kaibab being up on the rims of the Grand Canyon. That is where we are going. Hope to see squirrels, birds, and deer. NO BEARS!!!! or NO MOUNTAIN LIONS!!!!! And we hope to see and get about 50 gazillion nuts. hehehehehe

Happy Thursday everyone!!!!

p.s. Pinon is pronounced Pin (as in stick pin) and Yon (or yawn)

Stupid Animals

I know I haven't posted in a while. Been busy you know. Taking care of house, school, work, and Avon stuff. Then we went to the fall festival on Saturday. Also took kiddo and a friend to the movies. Went and seen Disney's Valiant. It was cute.


Anywhooo I was gonna talk about my stupid animals. I don't know what's gotten into them, but they all have a case of the stupids. Must be something in the weather. Lets take the parakeets for instance. They can't seem to stay on their perches the past few days. Everything they try to do, they just fricken fall off. Right to the bottom of the cage. Now, Flutter, he does that on a regular basis anyway. But, Sassy, tries to climb over to the swing, and BAM right to the bottom, so she climbs back up and goes and pecks the shit out of Flutter. Like it was his fault, and all he was doing is singing to himself in the mirror.

Now the gerbils. Remember we got three little girl gerbils. Or at least I am still hoping. No babies yet, so yayyyyyyyyyyy. Anyhow, these little shits have decided they are professional wrestlers. They stand up on their hind legs and face off, and start doing this little boxing thing. Well, they move their bedding around till there are little hills in their cage. As they box, they then grab each other, and start rolling off these hills. Ass over teakettle. It's actually quite amusing. But I've never seen gerbils so animated before.

Now my cat Bugsy. Or should I say Gigantor's cat. We have a Russian Blue. He's beautiful, but he's a shit head. He has a ton of extra toes (32 in all) But he's a biter. He will nip you all the dam time, and if he gets mad, then just WHAM big old bite. Well here lately, I don't know what it is. Gigantor will be sitting on the couch with his shoes off, and just socks on. Bugsy will come walking out of the kitchen, and walk up to his foot and WHAM!!!! then run off. He has bitten a few good holes in Gigantor's toes lately. And we don't know why. I swear you can see him laughing as he runs off.

Now to one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. We have three dogs. A 10 year old bassett named Buck (affectionately called "roadblock" "speedbump" and "old man") a 6 year old bassett named Dribbles (just called "shit for brains" or "shit head") And a 10 year old pointer/greyhound mix named Buster. That has the worst anxiety. Separation and otherwise. Well....We keep t.v. trays here. We use them when we have people over, or when we want to eat and watch t.v. The kiddo loves to have one out and eat his breakfast while watching cartoons on the weekend. So...the t.v. try was still set up by the love seat. If I'm sitting at the table in the kitchen I can look directly at the front of the love seat. Then to the right of it is the hallway, then the front door. Well...I was sitting at the table doing my Avon order. And all the dogs were whining, cuz they heard "daddy" drive up. So....Gigantor opens the door. And Buster, decides to play one of his "oh my god, I'm scared of you" run away anxiety things. Well, he spins around, and dodges up under that t.v. tray. Well...Buster is tall, so instead of ducking, he hits his head on the t.v. tray, scares himself, pisses on the floor as he jumps, and starts running jumping like a gazelle, with this dam t.v. tray attached to his back. Every run/jump he took the t.v. tray went up in the air and forward, and landed back on his back. Scared himself so bad, he almost had a heart attack. Ran all the way into the kitchen, where I grabbed the t.v. tray. Then Buster succeeded in jamming himself behind the toilet to hide. He finally came back out after all the laughter died down. But he now jumps every time he walks by that evil, killer t.v. tray.

Okay now that I explained that. I have one dog licking the gerbil cage, so I'm gonna go throw them all out.

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!!
P.S. Enjoy the pic.


This is a herd of Blesbok. They are endangered. Says they are from South Africa and both male and females have the antlers. I'm suspecting this one is preggers female. hehehehe Pretty things though.

Donalds Hair and Updates

Well just wanted to pop in and give a shout out. *cough cough*
We got an update on mom, she is still in the hospital with fluid in her left lung and fluid around her heart. She is taking medication, and they are talking about doing a procedure, of sticking a small needle in and taking the fluid out that way. She might be able to go back to the nursing home on Saturday, but we aren't holding our breath.

My friends husband was released from the hospital.. They found out he has a rare form of epilepsy. That is brought on by stress and fatigue. They gave him some meds and that should take care of it.

All the schools are closed tomorrow for an in service teacher day. So the kids get a three day weekend. yayyyyyyyyy hehehehe

I really have nothing very interesting of my own to say. I'm rather boring today.

Thank everyone for the halloween suggestions in last post. I couldn't stop laughing at the Jehovas Witness one. Although I don't think my 9 year old boy will go for that. Maybe a monster eating a Jehovas Witness. LOL
I swear if he does the in/out the front door in 30 seconds slamming it again today, he's gonna just be a walking pile of goo, so no need for a costume then. What is with little boys saying they want to play outside, then go in and out in and out, slamming the door each time. About 5 gazillion times in 5 minutes???? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Okay I'm gonna go make a garlicy, onionie, tomatoe ie, cheesey, chicken dish. hehehehehee I'm hungry

I posted another pic, he cracks me up. But is beautiful none the less.
Happy Thursday everyone!!!!!!!!


This is an Arabian Oryx. They are an endangered species. It says that the wild arabian oryx became extinct in 1972. They were bread and re introduced in 1982 and again in 1990. The drink no free water, they obtain it from plants they eat. The brochure says they rarely approach vehicles, cuz they are shy, but let me tell you these guys were always at our windows. I really like him cuz he has a really bad toupe going on. hehehe I think I will call him Donald (as in Trump) I'm not sure which one has better hair.

What the Hell Just Happened??

That's what I want to know. What the hell just happened??? hehehehe Yesterday wasn't to bad of a day. I mean I got up and wasn't over tired. Kiddo got up in a good mood. I dinked around on the computer then got this massive spurt of energy and got off and did a bunch of work around the house. While I was in the middle of doing some paperwork. A friend called me to tell me her husband was in the hospital. Her and her husband moved back to Iowa to take care of his mother who has breast cancer. Well....my friend started having alot of health issues, with her heart, and some other things. Her husband was the one that drove her and her mother in law around, and took care of them. He's never been sick, save for a cold. Well...he woke her up on Sunday night with this weird noise, and he was having massive seizures. She called 911. They ran some tests, said they couldn't find anything, and sent him home. An hour later he was having another seizure. This time he was flown out to the university hospital. The first initial cat scan showed a spot on his brain, but they said they wouldn't know for sure till he had an mri. He was waiting to be admitted into the neurological unit when I talked to her. Haven't gotten an update yet.

Then about 5 something this morning. Alekx calls me to tell me that they had to put mom back in the hospital. Her heart rate was way high, and she was having some chest pains. Last time I talked to Alekx (right before getting on) they were running tests and going to get her admitted.

Grrrrrrrrrrr what the hell is going on??? That light at the end of the tunnel, which was really a train, plowing us over an over again. Well...I thought the train had run out of gas, cuz things were going good. But nOooOooOo somebody gassed up that fucking train, and now it's back to running our asses over again.

Oh well...life can't end just cuz bad things happen in it. It's all about how you choose to live it. And I choose to live it with a beer in my hand and screaming WHAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! LOL

Okay I know it's over a month away, but I'm stressing about halloween. I usually make the kiddo's costumes. But we don't have a dam clue what to make him this year. He is even clue less. So...people give me suggestions for a 9 year old, who is almost 5 feet tall, and is 120lbs. He has been a soldier, ninja, snake, dinosaur, and when he was a baby he was tigger and when he was a new born he was a pea in a pod. hehehehe So give me some suggestions. We wanted to have him and a friend go as jeckle and hyde, but they both want to be the monster. We suggested a werewolf and his victim, but they both wanted to be a werewolf. My favorite is I suggested a booger and a finger, but they didn't like that idea. But...we don't even know if we can get a partner for him, so I need ideas for just him. You all are twisted and demented, give me some ideas!!!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11 O'clock news

It's 11 Sunday morning, and just thought I would pop in and say howdy. hehehehe

Friday Gigantor took off work, and we took kiddo out of school to take him to Flagstaff to the dentist. Finally gonna get that broken tooth fixed. Flagstaff is about 2 1/2 hours away from us. Thank goodness we didn't hit any real bad rain storms this time. Well...for almost the entire time I was massively "side seat" driving to Gigantor. So...we stop at this gas station to go potty. And he just sits there with the bell dinging, and his door open, looking like a dumb ass. So...I scream "LIGHTS!!!" as he turns off the lights he says, massively snotty "CAMMMERAA" (in that little kid snotty kind of voice) he was just trying to piss me off. When from out of the back seat, kiddo leaps forward with his head between ours and screams "ACTION!!!" We just couldn't stop cracking up. Here we are being snotty, smart asses to each other, irritating each other, and kiddo has no clue, and is trying to be "in" on the fun. hehehehe

We get to the dentist at 11:15, kiddo's appointment is at 11:30. We were told that reconstructing his tooth could take 2 to 4 hours. So...we wait and wait and they don't even call kiddo back till 12:20. I'm thinking "great, we are gonna get home so late" Well...we start reading the books we brought, to settle in for the long haul. About 15 minutes later kiddo walks out and says "mommy Dr. Turnbull wants to talk to you" (that's what they do is send the kids after you when their done) I'm like "what's wrong?? did you get sick??" Kiddo says "No, I'm done" WHAT??? So...we go back, and Dr. Turnbull tells us how kiddo was so amazing, didn't want numbed or anything, and asked if they could go back in one corner away from the "screaming" little kids and get it done really fast. So...that is exactly what they did. One brand new front tooth for kiddo, hardly any time spent, and best part is he can go eat.

We went and grabbed sonic then went to Bookmans Used Book store. I got like 8 or 9 books, Gigantor got like 8 Clive Cussler books, and we got kiddo 4 of the coolest dang books. We then went over to cold stone creamery. I know I know not on my diet, but the closest one is Flag, and we only go to flag about twice a year, so I don't think it will kill me. We sat and ate our ice cream and headed home. Got in about 6 that evening.

Yesterday we took kiddo and his friend bigJ to see March of the Penguins. It was nice. Cute and sad, a documentary, but they did it up real good. We then took bigJ with us to play for a while.

Today Gigantor and BigJ's dad went out coyote hunting. So Goober called and asked if me and kiddo wanted to go to breakfast with her and bigJ and princessM. That was fun, just us and the kids. Went to one of Gigantors favorite places so I got to rub it in when he got home. hehehehe

Now kiddo is up playing at bigJ's and Gigantor ran to walmart for me. I didn't want to go. hehehehe

OoOOOO last night Gigantor cut up an onion then without washing his hands or knife, cut up the honeydew melon. I love onions, and I love honeydew, but onion flavored honeydew is not the best thing in the world. hehehehe

Since I got up early and went to breakfast, and nobody is here. I'm thinking about going and taking a nap. I'll probably sit up and read everyone's blogs instead.

Okay I know I bored you all to sleep, but wake up and comment anyway. hehehehe

FONDLED!!!!

I just got back from the chiropractor, where he fondled, groped, pushed, prodded, and played with my ass. *sigh* You all would be as content as me if you seen my chiropractor, he is scrumdilliumpscious!!! Ask Alekx, she went to school with him. You know back in the time when they had to ride their dinosaurs to school. hehehee Anyhow...Dr. Hunky totally worked on my ass and hip today. It got to the point that I was going Ouch ouch ouch, and he was grunting. (I know sounds like bad sex session) and he goes, well if your hip would just let loose it wouldn't hurt anymore. Couple more ouch's and I felt this big POP. Same time I scream YES he goes, there it's out now!! Now tell me if you were just walking by, what you would think was going on in there?? hehehehe

So anyhow I got my morning thrill by being fondled by the Hunky doctor. OOoOoOoO and Pitch Black, you little shit. The rest of my body is catching on thank you very much. I now have a cold, and it's trying to do me in too.

We made something very yummie and low fat last night. And, Miranda told me I should write the recipe down. I agree. But thought better of it today. I don't think it's in good form to put a yummie recipe down with a picture of a live critter. hehehehehe Seems sorta morbid.

Okay well the dog farted behind me, and now I'm gagging, so I'm gonna go kick him, and take more cold pills.

Happy Hump Day everyone!!!!!

Enjoy the pic.


This little guy is a Blackbuck, mostly found in India and Pakistan. They are one of my favorites due to the coloring. I love it around the eyes. Just beautiful I think

My Ass Hates Me and I Think It's Trying To Kill Me!!!!

Yes I'm still having woes with my ass!!! What the hell is wrong with my ass, to make it want to kill me??? I mean my tailbone is still bothering me. I've lost some weight, and it hurts constantly now. I'm sitting on pillows all the time. And a couple weeks ago. I think I have pinched or hurt my siatic (spelling) nerve or something. Cuz I have pain in the back of my right knee, going up the back of my right thigh, cutting a path up my right ass cheek, and settling in my hip. Well...a few days ago, my lower back started hurting so bad, it just makes my entire ass hurt. THE WHOLE BIG ASS THING!!!! (OoOoo I made a pun) Anywhoo....I can sit, okay, standing and walking are worse, but sleeping. There is no fucking sleeping. On my sides kill my lower back and hip, flat on my back, my ass just throbs. I've taken to sleeping in a complete sitting up position, and my ass still hurts, not only that, but it gives me a crick in the neck. I swear someone took a contract out on me, and my ass is trying to collect the bounty. Now if I end up getting ass acne, that is the final straw and I will DEMAND an entire ass transplant.

In other news, despite my ass, we had a pretty good weekend. Did some shopping, did some housework, went bowling and watched a couple movies. We rented Hostage and the Ring 2. Hostage was pretty darn good. Better than I expected. Ring 2, what can I say?? It was a sequel. It picked up where the other left off. But it was not near as good as the first one. Although Gigantor and I are convinced that the girl in the Ring movies could be the same girl in The Grudge. (the evil one, not the blonde)

We still have NO gerbil babies yet. Although that one is still running around humping the sides, backs and faces of the other two. I think (or am hoping) we just have one pervie gerbil.

I'm outa things to talk about. I could ramble about nothing like usual, but I think I'm gonna go do something else. hehehehe

Happy Monday everyone!!!!

p.s. blogger is not letting me comment, so if I haven't commented on your blog in a while, it's cuz blogger sucks major donkey dick!!!!!

Yawwwnnnn

Gosh I don't have much of anything today. My weekend was boring and lazy as hell. We had made plans to go do quite a few things, and didn't do a dam one of them. One of my friends came into town with her new baby and we visited for about 5 hours or more on Saturday morning. But after that--NOTHING. We lazed around and watched movies all weekend. I feel like such a dolt. We were gonna go to the lake, or the mountain or bowling, or all of them. But NoOoOooO we got lead in our asses and just stayed here. Oh well, can't turn back time. Yesterday I was gonna post, and I got not feeling well. It felt like an elephant sat on me or something. I slept almost the entire day. Then I couldn't sleep last night, so serves my dumb butt right. Today I have tried to be on top of all the stuff I need to do. And dammit all, but I've had a craving for french fries for 4 days. WTF is with that??? Okay, I'm tired of being cranky, I'm gonna go kick the dog, flush the fish, feed the gerbils to the cat, and set the birds free, see if that makes me feel better. (kidding people, don't message me. sheesh)
Okay on that note, I'm gonna go. Wanted to leave you all with another picture, of an awesome Fallow Deer.

Happy Hump Day!!!





I just thought this was one of the coolest Fallow Deer there. They have a HUGE herd of fallow deer. The write up says fallow deer can be spotted, white, or chestnut color. This guy is just so beautiful. Their antlers are fuzzy. Not "in velvet" like alot of local species, but theirs stay fuzzy all year long, and have big scoops like moose. Although this deer is just slightly bigger than a white tail. Anyhow, I'm sure those of you that hunt, or has family that hunts knows what I'm talking about.
