Just Because I Know You Care...

They are predicting snow here this Wednesday. Have mercy!

Belated Tag

Kareen tagged me a bit ago and I had to think on it for a while...so here it is...

7 unknown/random facts about me:

1. When Beau isn't at home I always sleep on his side of the bed.

2. My favorite chore is folding laundry.

3. Least favorite chore is putting the laundry away.

4. I LOVE podcasts. I am always searching iTunes for new ones that are interesting.

5. I usually listen to my favorite podcasts when I do laundry...which makes putting the laundry away a little more bearable.

6. My toenails are always painted red...probably since I was 13 or 14.

7. I never wear jewelery. I used to never take off my wedding ring, like ever. But in the last year or two I find that I can't sleep with it on. I have always had the secret desire to learn how to accessorize, though...I always feel like if all of a sudden I start wearing jewelery people will look and think, "That's strange. I never thought of her with earings and necklaces before."

OK...It is snowing again and it is April 24th! What gives??? Beau keeps saying that I should stop whining because he can remember when it snowed here on the 4th of July when he was a kid. I'm not actually whining. I love the snow. More shocked than anything.

Oh yeah! And, I'm supposed to tag someone else? It seems like many of you have done this tag...so I tag whoever sees this who hasn't already participated...Misty? Dawn? Dyana? DeAynne?

David Archuleta on Star Search

How cute is David Archuleta at 9 or 10 years old (just a guess...not sure what year this was).

Huh?

We are quickly approaching MAY and it is snowing outside???

Where is that global warming we hear so much talk about...could use some here :)

Rocco

We have a new dog. We found him at the humane society. He is so nice and we love him!
I know, I know...enough about the animals...this is the last post on them for a while...I promise.

Rocco

Sadie is not really a rabid maniac...but this is how they are always playing...never hurting each other...but chasing each other around the house like they want to eat the other.

A Few of My Favorite Things

I decided to tell you about two of my very favorite things. Last year in Arkansas my neighbor had a Pampered Chef party. I think I bought about $50 worth of kitchen things that never get used. However, this little party-favor whisk I use every day! I love it. If you ever see one like it in the store, buy 5! It is so much more efficient than a traditionally shaped whisk! I love, love, love my whisk!

My other favorite are my jammies. They are Eddie Bauer flannel pajamas. You all know I am a tall girl (and this is great info for all my tall friends). I have never found cute comfy pajamas that are long enough for my legs. My inseam is 34-35 inches...so typically, pajamas that are long on most women look like capris on me. But, Eddie Bauer has pajamas in tall (the shirts come in tall too)! And, they are soft and cute and fabulous! My friend Misty can attest that I don't think I took them off for about the first 3 days I had them. Love these jammies!

Bucky

Bucky went out to Beau's parents this weekend to be with the other sheep.

The ewes are none too happy about it.

Poor Bucky!

Do you see that look in her eyes. She's saying, "Lady, take the orphan lamb out of my pasture and nobody gets hurt!"

Please excuse the rambling...I am a lazy blogger today...but this is about a lamb

Brookelynn Kay loves that lamby!

Look at my poor confused puppy in the corner, "What is that thing doing in my house, mom!"

This picture cracks me up...our little Sadie and little Bucky are just about the same size.

Meet Buckingham...or "Bucky" for short. Beau's parents raise sheep. They leave them to winter at a friend's who has a larger ranch so, last Monday it was time to pick them up and bring them home. Beau and the kids went along. I stayed home for a few hours of uninterupted cleaning :)...perhaps, I should have come too, though.

Apparently, when they were out at this friend's ranch she said they had a leppy lamb (his mom had died) and asked if Beau wanted it. Of course, my husband jumped! He raised sheep growing up, was in FFA and won all kinds of awards showing his lambs (which is a real riot if you have a chance to watch at the fair) so lambs are near and dear to his heart.

Anyway, I am rambling. Fact is, we have a lamb. We live in town, so soon it will migrate out to Beau's mom and dad's house. It is darling and has to be bottle fed, but I think it is lonely for its own kind. When it gets to bleating out in the back yard I send Sadie (our dog) out to keep it company. The kids love it too. My biggest fear is that the neighbors will call the police and they'll come knocking on our door at 2 in the morning...Eek! But all is well so far!
