A plethora of Pictures

Hi Gang,

I am really trying to be better and blog more often but we have been doing so many household stuff I am to lazy to do it.  I really want to share with you what we did so I am getting this post while I am at work (shhh don’t tell, or I will get fired and then be blogging every day and you will all get sick of me).

 

We got the Man Room set up at least the basics, new Futon for the imaginary guests Dave seems to think we are going to have sleeping over our house.  His new desk and Chair and printer cart.  He has been working diligently a little day by day to go through the mess of boxes that are cluttering up my Tabby room now.  Now we moved into this place a year ago and we kept the door close of the man room/office with boxes of stuff that had not been gone through and put away yet.  Have a look

  yes I know it is a mess and I am almost embarrassed to post it.

Here is my Nice little Tabby/exercise/reading room before we moved the mess into it

Here it is all empty, Delilah is thinking the sheet we are using as a drop cloth is a kitty bed

Getting ready to paint, see all the holes on the wall Dave had to fill, he did all the edging work and I did all the walls as he still gets very sore an tired easily from being sick.

The new color a bit darker

Did I tell you I got a great deal I got this comforter for 80 then 4 days later it was marked down to 40 so I got $40 back (sorry this has nothing to do with the man room)

Time to put the new furniture together and of course the monster kitty has to check it out

Sorry had to put in another cute picture of the Delilah Doo

Happy man on his new man couch!

He started really man-ing it up with his Motorcycle, nascar and guitar stuff…lol .  There will be pictures, a house plant/tree and a new bookshelf going in here too.

  Delilah likes it!

Since I have been so lazy and not getting to my blogging like I would like too you will have to see more pictures…ho hum.  It was a cold weekend (I love it) so we decided to make Home made lasagna on Saturday and then cook Sheppard's pie on Sunday.  Here are the pictures.  I love having Davey well because he is the greatest cook.  Now I wish I could of shared some of this food with you all because we have tons and tons of left overs.  Here is the Lasagna, got a great recipe off the net, it is sausage and Hamburg cheesy lasagna From start to finish.

   

 

Now after I just inserted all these pictures in one by one I just found out I could of done them all as an album…grrrr (I am using windows live writer and it is a new option).  So the next set are Sunday and Sheppard's pie and a few odd and end pictures:

As far as the news lately I am sorely going to miss Patrick Swayze he was one of my biggest teen Heart throbs.  I hope they do a movie marathon of all his movies as I loved them all and I will be tuned in.  It sure is great Fall is almost here as the TV programs are starting up again.  Just started watching The Vampire Diaries and it is pretty good. I am so into vampires I am re-reading the twilight series and about the start the Sookie Stackhouse Vampire novels (True Blood series is based on these books).   Tonight Supernatural is on and another great show is The Lords of Anarchy that started up again.

This weekend my mission is to take down my summer decorations outside and get my fall stuff out; make my shell wreath for the bathroom, Change my blog to my fall theme,  help Dave organize and get all his clutter put away.   Whoa reading this makes me tired, I need to rest a bit so I will take it slow :)  Also I am so glad it is football season again…Woo hoo!  Everyone have a great weekend.  Until my next post…..

54 Years ago and just a little update.

Hi Everyone,
Well we have almost made it to the weekend thankfully. I am so tired after this week I want to be a lazy bum this weekend but I do not see that in my future as I have more projects I want to get done. Well the Man room is painted and the furniture was put together last night (futon, desk, printer stand, Leather chair-all new) so that took about 3 1/2 hours. It looks really nice, the next part will be adding all the stuff that will belong in that room like Dave's computers, books, pictures stuff like that. I will share pictures.

I got this good email and I wanted to share it....boy times have changed!

'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $10.00.

'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $1, 000.00 will only buy a used one.

'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.

'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.

'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .

We WISH we still had THESE complaints......

Labor day weekend was all about laboring

Hi

I hope everyone had a great long weekend. We busted our humps and got things done around the house. I am so sore today it hurts to type. We painted, organized stuff, and just kept busy all weekend. I am just putting in this slide show so you can see a bit of what we did. The never ending project but its a good sense of accomplishment I suppose if you look at it that way. My sore muscles are saying you should of been a lazy bum all weekend. Today is my mom's 60th birthday...Happy Birthday Mom! She does not have a computer so I can tell you I sent her 18 long stem roses they are fall themed colors and her favorite flower so she should like them. We are having her Birthday party at the house in a few weeks with other relatives coming over so I want everything done by then. Now we moved in a year ago and we just started painting, have had the paint for about 11 months.....can you tell I hate painting. Hope everyone has a great day. It feels like Monday but is actually Tuesday so I suppose that is a good thing. Augh I need a weekend just to recover from this weekend :)

So I am officially a bad blogger!

Hi Everyone,

I just realized today that it has been a month since I have done a post……ooops.  I just want to let everyone know that it sure has been great having Dave home and he is doing well.  He is still out of work per doctors orders but it is so wonderful to have my life back to normal even if sometimes it is a little boring I take it over the past few months!  I know a few of my blogger buddies are on Face book now which is great since I am addicted to it, anyone who is on Face Book and would like to be my friend just send me a message and I will add you.  Again I can not thank you all for your kinds words and emails to me regarding Dave’s health and also just checking to see how I was doing……Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I now have to try to remember what we have done over the last month good Lord I sometimes can not remember what I did last week.  Thankfully since I am a picture freak I can refresh my memory and share some pictures.  The main things that we did was go on a fun work cruise to Province town and then a few days of camping.  Camping turned out to be quite a bit of work and Dave’s poor body paid for it even though I tried to do most of what I could.  Not too mention I am sheepishly admitting to myself that Yes I have hit middle age and I get those annoying aches and pains that I never had before. 

First look at the huge giant picture of the Sunflower on the top of my blog that is my sunflower I planted and its a monster over 6 feet tall.  I named him Seymour because he looks like that monster Fly trap plant in that old movie little shop of horrors.

Here are some ….. well okay I am lying a lot of pictures from the cruise to Province town:

Leaving Boston Harbor

The Company that puts on the Cruise Rents this whole boat it is always packed, we have to be on it early (7:15 a.m.) so everyone starts out tired.

The Girls we meet up with every year, Michelle and Leslie they are great fun!

 

A cool row/sail boat going by

Every one is starting to liven up as it gets warmer and we get closer, they are already dancing on the top deck

Me & Bob (a friend from one of the co’s we work with)

We are finally pulling into P-town

A pilgrim greeted us when we got off the boat

Crazy Camo truck, Dave was drooling over this

funny little row boat

Cute little door stopper in one of the shops

All of us at lunch, we went to the same place as last year The Squealing Pig….LOL  Great food!

The menu

Just us girls (Michelle, me, Leslie, Reggie)

Posing with the stuffed bear

 

The next set of pictures will be just the crazy fun stuff and people in Provincetown

 

 

(This was a real lady dressed up as a statue)

One of our favorite shops Marine Specialties

They sure are colorful in P-Town

A local artist

Walking back to the ship, oh by the way they told us at least 50 times not to miss the boat or they would leave your butt there and sure enough 2 girls missed the boat.  Just so you have an idea if you are not from Mass Ptown is on the very tip of Cape Cod and we sailed from Boston so it costs either $400 for a cab ride back or $60 to take the boat shuttle……..they should of listened.

Some nice bikes

local photo’s for sale

Great museum did  not go in this year but did 2 years ago

Cutest deliver car ever!

The boat

 

Geesh I was going to try to do all the pictures from this past month but I am sure you are sick of looking at my pictures for now.  I promise I will do part 2 and 3 for pictures from the past month as it is a long weekend.  I hope everyone has a Fun and SAFE Labor day!
