Need Rain?

Not us! Good grief did it rain last night. If you didn't get any it's because it was ALL at our house. It rained for over 5 hours, seriously! It was so heavy at times that it messed up the TV reception..always at the end of the show when they were about to reveal the "killer..ghost"..it also messed up the first 10 minutes of FNL. You know that ticked me off!!!! We still have puddles in our back yard this morning so you know it was alot of water coming down.

We did watch (or tried to) last weeks Ghost Whisperer then the current one. Did Annie Archer always play her mom?? I think another actress did but not sure. We tried to watch Numb3rs but the sleepy bug hit and we gave up. I was still smarting from the missing start of FNL so maybe my TV watching gene gave up early so I could reboot.

Why is it the morning I could sleep in I was awake at my usual time? Darn it!! My mind started racing with all the stuff I should be doing and I had to get up. Gave me a chance to load the Zoo pictures but my cards wernt on the same file...hmmmm? Maybe they are on the other camera?? Anyways....here is a pic my DS took.

He did a really good job on most of his shots. The ones of things in tanks full of water..not so much but with over 200+ pictures I will have plenty to scrap.


Time to start getting ready for the wedding of an old family friend. My DH asked if it was an outdoors one..NOPE..that would be tragic..not to mention uncomfortable for us..so glad it will be an old fashion one...inSIDE a church. It's the first wedding since their family lost their mom so I'm sure it will be a bittersweet occasion.

Lots of my scrapin friends are at a crop or at a Tim Holtz class today. I'm not jealous...really I'm not. I've taken a class with TH already and tho I'd love to get together with the croppers I have TONS of stuff to do here..plus my DH wouldn't be at the crop and he's kinda cute!!!

Hope you all have a super weekend. LOTS of sports..lots of shows to catch up on..lots of crafts to get done...whew!


Til later....................

Friday has arrived

((Before I forget....the USF tickets are for the game NEXT weekend-the 13th- so it's not to late to jump on them.))

Now back to our regularly scheduled ramblings.......

Thursday TV:
Watched Life from the other night since we don't watch any of the 8pm shows (sorry for the Office & Earl fans). It's an interesting show, alittle qwarkie but then ..look at it's audience. Watched CSI-Vegas..Grissom is so cute when he lets his hair down. What was up with that "look" Sara had on her face at the end? More of the hint of things to come? Darn it!!! BTW, anyone that watches Myth Busters already knew that a tire blow out is forceful enough to decapitate a person unfortunate enough to be behind the vehicle when it blows.

Ain't educational TV the best?!!

ER was good. Side bar..I discovered that when you watch it with your head sideways it makes it look even more scary. Try it. LOL. Who likes Sam as a brunette? Hope her Cop works out.

Tonight is a huge night with FNL back..officially..I was confused about it starting last week. We haven't had a chance to watch the GHOST Whisperer from last week so I'm not sure if we need to wait to watch tonight's or if it can be seen out of order. Man my life is complicated!

Spent last night "reorganizing" my acylic stamps AGAIN. I had put them into those "document" boxes from Target but I found it was difficult to find what I wanted. I decided to transfer them to CD holders by categories and got through one package of 10 (CD holders not document boxes-confused??) before it was time to go to bed. I'm still working on finding a good system to hold the holders so that they all fit and it can be transported easily. Again, my life is so complicated!!

MUST make a wedding card and those two birthday cards this weekend. Glad I already made about 15 Halloween cards since the month is getting away from me already. I also have about 15+ Thanksgiving cards & as many or more Christmas cards done but I digress.

Til later............................

Another night of great TV

WOW, I feel like Sally Fields. You really do like me! I think I used that line before but it applies so I used it again. I whined and some of you responded..LOL. Thanks gals!

OK, raise your hand if you LOVE the new Private Practice show. It was even better this week than the first week. I'm really liking COOPER. I'm getting used to him being a goofball and not seeing him as the killer FBI agent from Prison Break. Last nights show was so good but so heartbreaking. I won't spoil it if you have it TIVO'd.

Criminal Minds was good and I liked how it ended. Didn't like the case it's self and I'm sure my sister was not happy to see her boy "Eddie" in that role. I was so over the violence that I couldn't stand to watch CSI-NY afterwards. Had to spread out my disturbance level or I'd never have gotten to sleep.

Speaking of CSI..new VEGAS tonight. Can't wait to see what happens now that the secret romance is out. I've read things about the season that tick me off so it should be interesting to see how it plays out. I really hate all the spoilers that are printed. Yahoo has them as headlines so you can't get away from it sometimes. I don't want to know what is going to happen. Why bother showing the episode if everyone already knows what's gonna happen?

Anyway...................

We are having a rash of bad things happening to the people at work. We had another person who lost a family member this week. Several others have family that are really sick with cancer or other issues. Someone jokingly said we need an exorcist. Not funny but it feels like a huge dark cloud is hanging over the building.

on a brighter note....my DH is having a birthday in a couple weeks. Still need an idea for a great gift. Still working on some ideas but could use some fresh heads.

BTW, I now have 4 tickets to the USF/UCF football game so will be selling two of them. They are in the nose bleed section but that's all that is left. If you are interested email me privately. They are $50 for the pair. Game's at noon so bring sun screen.

((((Lisa D...Thanks for saying I'm as good as PW. While I KNOW that isn't true I appreciate that you are amused by my posts. It's all about my fans.....LOL!!!!!! ))))

Now I'm gonna go see what the rest of the blogging world is up to.

Pink for October

I mentioned a great stamp set that is raising money for Breast Cancer awareness on my Mondays post. Please scroll down if you missed it. Today I found another site that is bring this great cause to our attention. Check out this website. I've added a banner and changed my blog title for the month of October to do my small part.

Have you scheduled your Mammogram for this year yet??

Bandwagon Jumpers

I'm glad that USF is doing so well but that means that everyone and their brother wants to go to their games now. My DD had told us that her Sorority was "Hosting" the parents for the game on the 13th. I kept asking for details and she didn't know anything. Yesterday afternoon..LATE.. she called to confirm that the parents had to buy their own tickets on line. As you can imagine the only thing left is the nose bleed section. Great. The last thing my DH needs is 300+ stairs to climb to watch a football game. I bought two tickets just so we would have them but I'm not sure if we will end up going. Unless I can find someone nice/crazy enough to trade with me we may stay home & watch it on TV.

Halfway to the weekend and looking forward to some alone time with my DH. Still trying to figure out what to get him for his birthday that is coming up soon. He's so hard to buy for! I had an idea but not sure it can come together soon enough. Better come up with a plan "B".

Going to a wedding with my mom on Saturday. Family that we grew up with but don't see anymore except for weddings & funerals. Should be fun to see some of the old gang & I'm sure there will be good food so can't be a bad time.

REALLY need to get back to some scrapping & some card making. I have a ton of Halloween cards already made so at least that is done. I've been "commissioned" to make a couple of birthday cards for teenage boys. Better get cracking. Any ideas??

TV continues to be good. Prison Break..AWESOME.....HOUSE good...BONES good....Criminal Minds tonight should be a good one...still have tons on the list and will try and catch up this weekend. Have you seen "Journeyman" yet? Kinda interesting and ironic that one of the main characters in the "time travel" show used to be on "DayBreak"..the Day repeat" show with Taye Diggs. Anyway..interesting in a "Quantum Leap" kinda way except he always returns to his present day life. Check it out if you get a chance.

Still need to share our Zoo pics and I want to post my cards...some day. BTW..is anyone out there?? NO comments on my last two posts. Do I need to give something away? I know I'm no "Pioneer Woman" but come on..give me some love.

#6 with a bullet

What a great weekend for Tampa Sports.....................

How about those BULLS!!!!!! What a great game. Stayed glued to the TV until the last minute of coverage. My DD was there and got to be in the craziness down on the field after the game. I would have been right there too if I was her age. To jump from #18 to #6 ............WOW!!!!!

How about those BUCS!!!!!! Unbelievable! Another great game. Really fun to watch when your team is winning! Hope they keep it up.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad to see Florida loose! (Sorry any of you Gator fans but "we" do not "like" the Gators!) I'm not sure what would have been better..if Auburn had missed the field goal that was called back because of Florida's coach calling the last second time out...then kicked it again and made it or the way it happened...making it twice. WAHOOOOO. Loved the kicker running off the field giving the "Gator chomp" as he ran. LOVED IT!!!!!

How about those Devil Rays!!!! WORST TEAM IN BASEBALL. Wahoo. Gotta take your fame where you can get it. Maybe next year...new name..new game??

Didn't get on line at all this weekend so not sure whats been happening. We took the boy to Lowry Park yesterday and had a great time. We turned him loose with the camera so can't wait to see how those pictures turn out. He's usually a pretty good photographer so we'll see. Thank goodness for digital cameras as he must have taken a couple hundred shots.

October 1st....OMG! Holidays are right around the corner. Busy month shaping up all ready. Every weekend is filled except the last one so far. It will be New Years before you know it.

What did you do this weekend?? Hope you had fun.


I almost forgot to talk about TV......Desperate Housewives back on Sunday night. What did you think? New drama with the new "housewife" We also caught up on "Moonlight". It was OK..we'll give it a chance. Another great night of TV tonight with Prison Break. More new shows starting this week. My goodness! OH and we finally watched GREYS from the other night. Still not liking the relationship between Izzy & George. Really not feeling the love.
