So MUCH going on...

Sorry I don't have my rag rug blog done... I know y'all are crushed!

So, much has happened in the last 4 or 5 days my head is spinning with the possibilities of it all.

GREAT possibilities!

Lots of work being done to sort everything out. As soon as I get organized I will get y'all updated!

I did FINALLY get my little brother Samdrew registered for 2 football kicking camps in June.

Kansas University and West Virginia University here we come!!

So, happy to have those booked and ready to go!

Excited to spend some time with my little brother.

Have a GREAT week!

New book... New ideas...

Bought this book at the Borders in Nashville. It was closing and the book was 40% off!

WOO HOO

There are a buttload of GREAT ideas in here... I have several tabbed and ready to make.

ONE pattern in particular is the "rag rugs".

I have started making my first rug. It is a little more difficult than I thought it would be and it is taking LONGER than I want it to but....

I think once I get it down to a science they will go fast.

I have a blog coming on the rag rug process.... I find it funny because of the items I am using to make the rug! Hope y'all enjoy it!

I hope to have it up this weekend!

XOXOXOXO

THE Ohio State is in TROUBLE! OUCH!!

Coach Tressel..... hmmmmmmmm

I think football coaches sometimes lose sight of what their job is.

and a great man once told me NEVER put it in email if you don't want it to come back and bite you in the ass!!

Had to re-blog this...

Enjoy!

You Can't Play Here: A Dark Cloud In Columbus: "I don't think it's a stretch to consider today one of the worst days in Ohio State athletics history. Let's do a quick summary of the facts ..."

Single Single Single!

I am single!
I love being single!
Single doesn't mean lonely.
I have friends. I can choose to hang out with them or I can choose to sit home, watch a movie and enjoy my favorite wine without having to get dressed up or worry about drinking and driving.
I have friends who are in relationships that I find extremely questionable. But whatever makes them happy!
I am HAPPY BEING SINGLE!
I get offended by all the stupid eharmony and match.com ads that are EVERYWHERE!!
I seriously report them as OFFENSIVE when they show up on my Facebook page!
Why does every one think it is so bad to be single?
I have plenty of married friends who wish they were single and some even act like they are single so you can't tell me they are in a "happy and loving" marriage.
I have a great sex life. Sometimes I wish it was as plentiful as Samantha's on Sex & The City. But its pretty good!
I have great friends. AMAZING friends. Talented friends. Cool friends. Friends who cook. Friends who sing. Friends who coach football. Friends on the radio. Friends who bake. A kick ass collection of friends.
I have a dog who loves me unconditionally. He is my baby. He will always be my baby. He is the only "baby" I want in my life.
I have a fantastic family. Big, talented, fun, wonderfully super, fantastic family.
What else do I need?
So, dear world QUIT trying to force everyone into a relationship!
Some of us really really are happy to be single!
XOXOXO

PS I LOVE FOOTBALL!!

I am soooo NOT excited about baseball season or basketball season!

I WANT FOOTBALL BACK!

I don't like other sports...

I LOVE FOOTBALL!

I ONLY LOVE FOOTBALL!

I used to watch basketball college and pros way back when but I now the games just bug me.

Baseball instantly puts me to sleep.

I will attend a random baseball game here and there I enjoy the sitting outside, drinking beer, and eating peanuts.... But I rarely watch the game... I just don't care.

I know I should like other sports but if I only watch football then I have ass loads of free time to do other things while these other sports are going on.

I LOVE FOOTBALL!!

Starbucks!

STARBUCKS!

STARBUCKS!

STARBUCKS!

STARBUCKS!

STARBUCKS!

STARBUCKS!

I. LOVE. STARBUCKS!

YUMMY YUMMY STARBUCKS!

It is 830p and I want a freaking coffee.... But I know that will do me no good when I go to bed in a few hours!!

I can't wait to go to sleep so I can get up and go to Starbucks!!

Yes, I know I am a total and complete NERD!!

Just some stuff!

So, my blog hero The Pioneer Woman (see her blog here http://thepioneerwoman.com/)

says if you have a blog you must blog everyday. I was on a kick for awhile but I slacked off.

I will try to be better. Also, my friend Sally gets bored at work and they don't block my blog like they do Pioneer Woman's blog so I better kick it up a notch so Sally has some

entertainment!

The Pioneer Woman was in town yesterday for a book signing. I didn't go. I kind of wished I had but I again was a slacker. But I did read her book in one sitting.

Bought it at noon was done by 11pm. I also bought her cookbook (I had $65 in Borders gift cards that were burning a hole in my pocket.) So, I am going to have to whip up some of her tasty recipes.

Super Bowl weekend I had 5 people staying at my house. The Super Bowl was held 5 minutes from my house at Cowboys Stadium. So, The Packer fans arrived in the midst of the worst Texas weather ever. But we had a BLAST. And the Packers won! :)

(note to self - Super Bowl Blog)

So, I finally folded and put away all the laundry left over from Super Bowl weekend. Yes, it sat on my couch for a week.

I now have to clean out the closet that I shoved everything into at the last minute to "hide" it.

I am putting that off for another week or 4....

The Valentine Fairy made sure I had a surprise when I got home from work yesterday.

My dad & mom2 sent overnighted me Valentines to tell me I was actually their FAVORITE child. They also sent me this red horse. Yes, I am still 39 and my parents STILL give me stuffed animals!

Anywho... I named him AL.

In honor Alice my dad's Newfoundland they put to sleep last Monday.

She was a month shy of 15 years old which is AMAZINGLY old for Newfies.

The other 2 Newfies my parents had hit 9 and went rapidly down hill.

Didn't she have a GREAT face?

Loved that big dog. I would roll around on the floor with her. Take naps with my head on her belly. She was so gentle and sweet. I miss her like crazy. I know I will cry the next time I walk into my parents house and realize she isn't there.

But she is much happier now. She is in Dog Heaven eating ham sandwich's and running around with Lighting and Daisy my dad's other Newfies.

Well now that I am sad again over Alice I will sign off.

Have a GREAT day y'all!

I will be back again tomorrow!

XOXOXOXO
