Three Things I Could Do Without

I got this MEME off of That’s My Answer….Hope you like it!

What are three things you could do without?

1. Paying $3.57 a gallon for gas.
2. Swiss Cheese, Broccoli, and Cauliflower
3. The Brad Pit/Angelina Jolie saga (basically I’m tired of hearing about the “usual suspects” of the celebrity world.)


What are three things that YOU could do without?

How my blog got it’s new name

I live in the quinessential “yuppie hell”! I live in a neighborhood chock full of small children….Who like to scream really loud outside my window when I’m trying to get some sleep for work, soccer mom’s, Mini Vans, people who like to bring their ATV’s to mom’s house and ride them up and down the street in front of our house all afternoon long, etc. Basically in our neighborhood if you walk wrong down the street they’ll warn you once then they call the cops. If you own a dog your triple “screwed”, if they poo in a yard you better clean it up or the cops will be called, if you take them to the park and them run you’d better make sure that nobodies around cause god forbid they breath on somebodies 5 year old, if your dog happens to like to “vocalize” your allowed MAYBE one bark before the authorities are called. We’ve been here 13 years and it’s only gotten worse as more “yuppies” have moved into our neighborhood!

Big game hunter update!

I finally figure out how to get across the fallen log to the other side! So now I’ve completed Montana in the Spring, Canada in the Fall and now I’m on to Montana in the winter. Right now the Mule Deer are getting me! They are some tough suckers to shoot!

P.S. I even saw my first Grizzly bear in the game…it even attacked my character and I shot that too….Kind of a “kill or be killed” kinda thing going on there.

well, spring has finally arrived, how do you feel?has it been a long hard winter for you? does the beautiful spring weather put you in a good mood?some people do spring cleaning,some suffer from seasonal allergies, and others just dont care at all.how do you feel about spring time, do you have any rituals?

I don’t have any allergies that I know of so for now I’m feeling pretty good. It was a pretty miserable winter for me…I hadn’t gone anywhere or done anything fun since last September when Ashley and I went to Grand Rapids. I love it when the weather is good, especially if it’s on my days off! It’s crummy when it’s nice on the weekend’s cause that’s when I work! I love spring time, I don’t really have any rituals yet…I’m trying to come up with one or two of my own. What about you out there how does spring make you feel?Please Click on “Randomness….Feed Your Mind and Your Blog” to go the host page.

If You Comment….

If you look in the upper left hand corner of my blog you will see a picture about leaving comments and I’ll respond. I know that on the blogs that I have seen that have this or a similar photo/avatar posted I go back to see what the writer has had to say. I do respond already to 99% of the comments that are made on my blog but I just wanted to put this out there for the “lurkers” who visit and don’t leave comments.

Have a great weekend everybody! While your all having fun, I’ll be working so have some fun for me!

Village Garage Sales and Rain!

This weekend (starting today) is our village wide garage sales. I usually starts about 7 am and goes until late afternoon. Today there has only been about 1 hour where it hasn’t been raining so far. That can’t make for good garage saleing! The best part is is that there are still people out in all this yuck hitting up garage sales…..Our neighbors garge sale is a pretty popular place right now. Hope the weather starts cooperating!

Have a great day everybody!

Just because I felt the need to post some more photos

This is a picture of a Norwegian Stave Church that I took this past winter.
This is a photo of my Grandfather’s Saint Bernard Howard. He passed not long after this photo was taken. He was just a loveable guy.
Just a random picture of the cow poster I have hanging in my room.
Some flowers (fake) out on our deck. There was still snow on the ground when this was taken.
A freshly groomed Laci!
