2 Minutes!

I leave the room for two minutes and it's forget all manners...

Oh, the look of guilt.

Oh, Happy Morning

I awoke to a beautiful spring morning (okay in all reality at 5:30 in the morning you don't know what morning you are waking up to - but I knew it was going to be a nice day so mentally I did). I put on the first sandals of the season - it's going to be 60 today, told the husband good morning and marched out the door.

Marched into another door, to find these beauties at my desk:

Blessed spring, oh how I missed thee.

Yeah, it's going to be a good day.

Where in the World is Brad?

Brad is in the home state of the America icon who was born Marion Robert Morrison.

Mornings

On mornings such as today's when I have to force myself to crawl out of my warm bed and embrace the cold day ahead of me.

I just think that I will be here soon...

Just not soon enough.

The Only "Team" poster I'm NOT embarrassed by:

I thought it was clever.

I love bacon and I love border collies

Why?!?

Will someone please explain to me (however, when it comes to me and the English language I'm helpless). But why on earth is the shorten word for refrigerator spelled fridge when there is no "d" in the original word. Why is not spelled "frige"? Does this bug anyone else?

Funny

I saw this and laughed and thought the B team would like seeing it since his favorite saying to me is "Loose lips sink ships."

I'm a total N.E.R.D.

As many of you know by now Brad and I have become "Lost" Fanatics. Brad was away on business last week so I took the opportunity to give him a Valentine's day surprise (early).

I made these labels and this was waiting for him when he got home... (don't worry it's root beer)

And I'm so proud of myself.

Pretty Teeth

I finally succumbed and went to the dentist today for my 6 month checkup (3 months late). I hate the dentist. Don’t get me wrong I love our dentist I just don’t particularly like my mouth getting pricked and prodded. Also the fact that I had many cavities as a child has traumatized me. To let you know before I go further it was a successful check up – no cavities. This is the 6th consecutive visit with no cavities – a record. (Actually I made a record after my 2nd consecutive visit with no cavities). But anyway, I will get to my point. I got 2 compliments today from the dentist. One I will take full heartily the other I must give complete credit to genetics. My dentists told me I had “pretty teeth” never heard that one before – but hey he is dentist. I felt very good about that in fact I blushed and said a very bashful, “oh thank you.” Then he said, “Your bone structure is magnificent” my response, “My bone structure?” He explained, “Yes, the structure of your teeth.” I couldn’t resist I had to tell him, “Well, as I do appreciate good bone structure now this bone structure was not pretty on an 8 year old. In fact, I didn’t grow into these teeth until I was about 15.” Yes, I had huge teeth as a child. To make you better understand let me tell you a story. When I was 8 I went with my mom to pick up my Uncle Joe (my mom’s youngest brother – who at the time was about 30). It was the beginning of October, and I discussed with my mom that I wanted to be a farm girl for Halloween. In the car ride with my Uncle Joe my mom said, “I wonder how we are going to black out your teeth, you know to make it look like you are missing some.” With a laugh my uncle said, “What? Her teeth are already big enough.” That was the first time I ever thought I had big teeth. After I got home I spent a good couple of hours in the bathroom examining my horse teeth.

Now, I feel I need to add a disclaimer. I wasn’t the least bit hurt about my uncle’s comment. I loved my Uncle Joe (I still do), and now I just laugh. I know he wasn’t doing it to hurt me, he was just a young bachelor who probably didn’t think before he spoke – and I’ve never been guilty of that ; )
