"Come Sit a spell....

....and pay attention to me...

im waiting..

patiently!"

This is Tippy... taking his place on the kitchen barstool.. watching as TJ prepares a box of Mac & Cheese!

He soooo cracks me up.. I swear at times he knows exactly what we're talking about!

He keeps me smiling :)

Lazy Garden Days...

At first glance..I thought "Betsy-Boo" had died in our garden..

upon closer look.. I realized she was just enjoying the cool dirt and napping away!!!

How cute is she???
She's "Betsy"..the neighbors cat that lives up the street..er...that lives mostly HERE with us! She's sorta 'adopted' us..and is always here..(which i don't mind at all..she is the most lovable kitty.. who is very 'vocal'..and just wants to cuddle with you!!)

Of course..it probably doesn't help that I give her something to eat..and that i brush her long hair everyday.. but she's just so darn sweet..I can't resist her! :)

If I let her inside to cool off.. Tippy thinks she's the next best thing since catnip..and gets so excited that she's come in to play (instead of watching or 'stalking' her from the windows inside lol)

She tolerates Tippy's advances..and just is content to lay on the chair..and watch us go about our day..



She was even here to celebrate Tippy's birthday :)

Tippy says HI

It's just toooo darned hott to do anything but sit in the house with the AC on..or float in the pool. Even the pool isn't refreshing...unless you dump a bucket full of ice in it!

It hit 112 on our patio today..and so we limited our time outside.

At 8:45 pm ..we headed to 'Pinkberry' for an icy cold treat...frozen yogurt..topped with blueberries and strawberries!!!

~~YUM~~
It's THE coolest place.. such sweet decor.. with cheery colors..and the toppings you can choose from is too kewl.. "Capt N Crunch" and FruityPebbles!!! How FUN is that??? :) Next time I will have to remember the camera!

Happy Birthday....

...TJ!!!

He's 19 today... wow..I can't believe it..

Only HE aged..right??? I stayed the same age..heheheheheh
Enjoy your LAST year as a Teen..

...enuf play time! i need to stay home and WORK!!!
hubs decided thursday .. at 2 in the afternoon... to head to the desert for a couple of nites!!

"WTF??? I JUST cleaned the camper out.. we JUST put it away..and now you wanna DIRTY IT AGAIN??"

Yep!

And so we did!

The skies were going to be clear..so he wanted to take his telescope out to the desert and see what he could see :)
So we managed to pack up in record time.. well actually..it was our very first spur-of-the-moment trip.. but i think we packed up in record time. 3 hrs and we were all gas'd up.. stocked up.. and hitched up..and off we were!!

After two very QUIET, peaceful nites in the desert..we headed back. I am gonna have to DUCT tape my butt to my chair and get crackalackin'!
The Pfatt Marketplace is having "Pfreaky Pfatt Pfright" for the month of June..and I sorta kinda have something Im working on. I sure hope its done by the 10th~ and I have to whip something up for a doorprize yet too.. so much to do...so little time!!!

A couple of fun pfatties have 'tagged' me to play this oh so fun lil game...and so.. I must put my crayons down for a bit and play along..

Deb and Colleen... thanks sooooo very much for taggin' me ;)

Ok.. Im suppose to list 6 unimportant things about me...
what? only 6?? ha ha haaaa
goshhhhhhhh...

1. i have a birthmark on the back of my right leg..my grandmother also has one in the same spot!

2. i go into 'mushroom' modes..and feel very socially withdrawn when im stressed out

3. i worked at an icecream shop for one day.

4. i hate spiders. detest them. gross. yuck. puke.

5. i like to go snake hunting.

6. when i was little..i believed there was something 'under my bed'..so before entering my room..i would get a running start..and as soon as i hit the doorway..i'd LEAP to my bed!

ok..chew on that for a while..

and here are the rules:

1. Link back to the person that tagged you. 2. Post these rules on your blog. 3.Share six unimportant things about yourself. 4.Tag six people at the end of your entry.

so..once in a while..i like to break the 'rules'..and play by my own set (just ask tim when we play UNO) lol ::: wink wink :::

Instead of 'tagging' people who would rather do something FUN.. my task for all of you..is to visit the Pfatt Marketplace on June 10th to join in on the Pfatt Pfun and browse thru all of the Halloween Goodness that will be listed!! :)
Also.. don't forget to enter your name for a doorprize (leave your full name and a correct email addy) !!! Make sure you tell everyone you know!!!!

See? Simple and FUN :)

ok.. MUSH! Back to Work!!!!
