Another Thursday

I love reality tv! Tonight I watched...
1) Big Brother 6...Rachel got evicted, sorry to see her go. April won HOH, sorry that she got it!
2) Being Bobby Brown finale, so funny! Hell to the No! They showed all 3 times she said it!
3) House Hunters, on HGTV. It is on tivo and I still love it. I like how they redecorate the house they choose.

I have just discovered Gilmore Girls. I know, where have I been?
Now it is on season pass for the 4pm ABC Family airings. I also tivo the WGN reruns from last season. I am watching them all out of order. I watched the marathon on Sunday of like 5 episodes and it was awesome!
















Ethan is started to speak in 4-5 word sentences! It is so amazing! He said something like, "No E want milk please" this morning.
Our sitter's son is sick, so Ga T had to watch him today at her store. I think that she is going to watch him tomorrow, too. M2 is sick and didn't come to work today. MB was sick last week. I think it is might just be a matter of time for me now. H is worried she is next. It is going around the high school, too.
Latest pic of E , eating one of many corndogs at the fair. Oh crap, I need to post about the fair!

Vacation day

I have today and tomorrow off! Much needed break, too! I worked until 6:45 on Wed. to get everything done for the week, too! Luckily, C watched E and took him out to dinner with them.
We have 6 shows on sale this weekend, I think that was the final number.
I got the website up and the marquee set for Friday. I kinda want to drive up on Fri. and check it out. I think it looks pretty cool. It makes me happy when I get compliments on it, too.
The fair started tonight. It officially starts tomorrow. I can clearly hear the announcements on the p.a speakers. with the windows shut! Well, when I mute the tv.
I entered 2 photos, 2 scrapbook pages and a salt dip-antique. Didn't make the choc. chip cookies. I entered T a flat iron-antique in case he didn't have time to make his cinnamon rolls. Glad I did that, he didn't end up making them. We both received our passes, so we are set to go anytime!
A even sent me 2 passes, for single admiss. I should have called her and told her that I entered as an exhibitor this year. I will probably give them to my sister to use.
I have noticed some people walking by to the fair. I know it will get much worse this weekend. They put up "No Parking" signs on our street 2 days ago. I remember years ago we would park on our street all the time when we would come early and work at PsiOte stand. I am sure we probably parked in front of our house, too! How crazy is that?
Is it a bad thing to love the county fair? I have always loved it! And now, I live 5 houses away!
Getting late. I'll add in pics later.

Survived Wednesday

Yes, it is Thursday night now, didn't post last night. I just needed to relax and not think.
I survived Wednesday ad day. It was big ad day. The biggest ad I have created with new shows.
It is a half page ad! 6col x 10.5". We are adding about 20 new shows! Well, 9 confirmed to go on sale this weekend. I listened to Enya all day and it helped to keep me relaxed. I was past deadline on one paper and sent it and hour and half late! That stressed me out some. CB was holding on a show and didn't want to have to pull it out. Luckily, it was included and the on sale date changed to next weekend.
The ad is really busy, but hey, there are 23 features! Check it out...

Last night I watched the marathon of BlowOut. When I got home T was watching it and said he was really liking it! I couldn't believe he was enjoying it. I can watch almost any reality show. I prefer the real reality ones, not with competitions and stuff. I thought that BlowOut was some sort of competition with hiring stylists or something. Which, I know happens in one episode, but he was actually needing to hire some new people. Well, I loved the show! Sorry that I missed the first season. I didn't realize that it was on its second season.


Watched Big Bro tonight. Glad that Eric is out. He didn't know how to play the game. He was way too domineering from the start. I still like Kaysar the best. Doesn't look that good for him next week, though. Next week should be good!

Disposal is working!

I came home to a working disposal! Well, a couple of weeks ago it was installed and "plugged" in.
Well, today Jim came to put in the switch to the electrical box. So now we don't have to unplug it to stop it. Much need disposal is working!
Today I started on the 'large' ads at work. We might be putting on 21 new shows! This is the typical time that we put our fall/winter shows on sale. We are having 6x10.5 ads in 3 papers on Friday. That will be the largest size ad I have created. I can't say what they are yet. It is a bit overwhelming though. We are still tweaking how it will be layed out. I like how the top row looks, but that might change by tomorrow. I know CB is still confirming shows so some will fall out and others might be added. Well, I doubt if any new ones will be added that I don't already know about. I don't think he would do that to me....but you never know. We are still putting in a big feature for ZZ Top and Clay even though they are soldout and have been for over a month.
I love this time of the year when a ton of new shows are added. It keeps me super busy, but I like it. I doubt if I will even get to start updating the website until Wed. That is going to be a lot of work to do, too! We have some shows that aren't going on sale until next week. Maybe I can wait to add those to our schedule until then.

We don't have an intern anymore. Kelley went back to college at Citadel. Wow, the stories she has told me about life there is amazing. It truly is a different world there. I know there is no way I could ever handle going there! She was a super intern, even though she was here when it was really slow.

I went grocery shopping on my way home today. Did major shopping. Of course, still forgot some things..orange juice!

Went to Michael's today. They switched things around in there, too! Why are all the stores doing this to me? I walked completely around to the other side to find the scrapbooking section. I had my 40% coupon to purchase the vertical storage bin. And they had them in stock, Yeah! I also ended up buying just 3 sheets of 12x12, they were on sale for 25 cents/ea.

I have not been to the mall in ages! I don't think since March when E got his pics taken. I went to Children's Place to see if they had sandals for E marked down. They didn't have any in his size, hardly any at all. The clothes were really cute, but for like 5-7 yr olds.
I ended up going into Charlotte Russe, too. First time in there, really cute things. I don't have money to blow on me, though.

I really need to work out tomorrow. Then I have to go to the doctor, oh fun!
T's parents got E this cool toy. It is called Wedgits, I think. He was really having fun stacking up the pieces.

Saturday...ho hum

It is Sat. and I'm wasting time on internet. I should be cleaning or scrapping.
Ethan is taking his nap. T is golfing at an outing, so it should be free. At least that is what he tells me.

T took E to get his hair cut on Wed. He didn't take him to his barbershop this time, they went to a salon. E was really good and didn't cry or fiddle around. His hair is sooo short now! It is definitely the shortest it has been.

Not sure if we will go in the pool today. I want to tomorrow, it is going to be 100 degrees! The water might be too warm, though.

I think I will attempt to wash some dishes and pick up the living room E's mess.
He will be up in about half hour.
E is starting to say some 2-3 word sentences. He will say E's shoes, E fell down. He is good with saying possessive's. But he still calls himself "E" not Ethan.

I like that show, Family Plots. Watching a marathon of it now on A&E. I love reality shows!

Target makes me happy


What is it about Target? It just makes me happy. They have switched everything around in there, too. I'm sure I'll figure out the new locations in no time, though!
I have been wanting these cute pink flip flops & kept hoping they would go on sale soon.
I love the sequins and sparkles! Yeah, they look too young for me, but I think they are fun and cute! I was so excited to see them marked down to $6.99 from $9.99! AND they had a size 10!
Yippee for me!

Do I really need to Blog?

I am just trying out this Blog stuff. I doubt if I will regularly update this too often.
I realized that I can't access "Edit Post" part from my mac at work. Bummer. I'll have to do it all at our home pc.
