today....

ta da! vacuum cleaner fixed!

YAHOO!!!

bad boyz bad boyz

watcha gonna do when they come for you?

for a little while now this pesty little motorcycle-er has been blazing up and down our street for fun at nights. the other night the cops finally got him at the end of our block!

how exciting are we in the evenings?
so exciting that dallas will stand in the corner of the living room for 40 min watching the dude get ticketed, for lack of better things to do

what do you do when yo'ure married to the m&m monster but they're on sale and want 4 bags to last more than 4 days?
yes, it's true.
i individually bagged reasonable portion sizes into snack sized baggies.

you wonder, isn't this what you do for little kids?
the answer: yes, and in special circumstances for big kids, too

it's been pretty boring around here... school.... work.... walk the dog...

i did have a blond moment the other day:

the circut city down the street from us is going out of business so we went down to snag some good 70% off deals.
i found an awesome deal: label maker for $3.00!
how could i resist? so we picked it up and brought it home....

i HATE packaging like this! why do they show a label maker on the front when there's not one inside? so now we're stuck with 400 3/4" x 2" labels.

way to read the package, andi.
yipee.

today, ez and william.....

william must have been extremely exhausted from bringing his dead bird catch in thru the doggie door

for ezra's science experiment he decided to see what a baseball was composed of.
answer: lots of string....

yes ez.... another study day... get comfy...
(but hey, it's paying off.... A on my first chem test!)

don't get me wrong- ez appreciates all gifts, especially those that are rawhide-ish. this one though may be a tad bit on the small side.

somedays i wish i were a fat, furry, careless blob like william.
what a life

shopping last weekend i found a couple of, "THE LAMPS," that i havn't been able to keep my mind off of. today they somehow magically appeared in my living room.
hmmmm funny how that happens.

my only question is, should i be like the people that leave the plastic on their lampshades so that they don't fade?.....uhm i think not.

dallas proudly called tonight....

apparently he's the Minot, ND Mariott guest of the week.

Congratulations Dallas--- what an accomplishment!

there was once a time in my life when i had time to sit down for more than 2 min at a time i made a zebra mosaic. i just found out that i somehow made into an art show even though there were 1,486 entries (yeah!). this is about all the excitement i can handle this week. in case you missed out the first time.....

Ez got to go to the pet store yesterday.
he was such a good boy i let him pick out his own bone.

who needs a home theater when you can just open up the front door?...and then there were three

i'm doing gram stains on e.coli and apparently dallas is going to take over the world.

talk about nerds R us

if you work where i work, tomorrow you will get the option to indulge in one of these little Valentine cakes, er, cookies

yes mom, i think you still have me beat on these

for lack of better things to blog about our basement room is almost finished.... we are just lacking trim attached to the walls and accessory color! wii or a movie anyone?

ez goes to yoga more than me.
if only i had flexibility like him

behold the power of .......

the homemade incubator.

my nerdism continues and is currently quite overwhelming. this week for micro (not including chemistry) i have:

do labs 3 &4
lab 4 full lab report
summary questions from labs 1, 2 & 3
labs 1-4 quiz
chapter 3 questions
chapter 3 quiz
test over chapters 1-3
participate 2 different times in discussion questions

as awful as that sounds, it could be worse. I could be bacteria
S. aureus and eat this for breakfast every day

oh yes, the nerdism has begun
and if you were wondering, those are monitor wipies for my computer screen. what is happening to me? only dallas cleans his monitor!
