hello ladies

the move

what a okay, screwed up, tired weekend....

friday went to a crop with lorijack and ana. had a great time and fun...

saturday we planed on moving, and you would know it started to RAIN!!!!!!
so i packed up the kitchen stuff and moved it in between showers.....
got all the kitchen set up.

sunday went to church and it was raining, prayed that it would stop and it did.
got home and fred had a headache so we waited for a bit, then hit it hard...got the large things, ie...dryer, washer, icebox and freezer loaded and moved.
then for round two, the sofa chairs and all the little things.
round three, the bed and scrap stuff...i was looking at the mess and wondering what the world i got my self into with moving. once the bed was up i took a shower and went to micky d's at 10:00, because i was not going to cook at 10 pm... it was so nice to sleep in the new house. lauren said it was like sleeping in a hotel...LMAO. i felt that way too.

odd news #5

okay nancy ! i enjoyed this week of odd news! thanks for the challenge
NEW YORK - A dozen rats were caught on video scurrying around the floor of a New York City KFC/Taco Bell restaurant early Friday, running between counters and tables and climbing on children's high chairs.

News crews flocked to the windows of the Greenwich Village neighborhood restaurant, which hadn't opened for the day. By midmorning, the footage was all over the Internet and television news shows, with onlookers giving a play-by-play from the sidewalk as the rodents moved about.
"He's coming for his close-up," one bystander said as a rat came near the window.
Employees came to work, but no customers were allowed in as health inspectors arrived.
There was no answer at the phone number displayed in neon on the store window below the words "We Deliver."
"This is completely unacceptable and is an absolute violation of our high standards," KFC and Taco Bell said in a statement. "This restaurant has been closed and we are addressing the issue with the franchise owner. We will not allow this store to reopen until is it completely resanitized and given a clean bill of health."
The chains said construction in the basement on Thursday "temporarily escalated the situation."
The city Department of Health had inspectors at the site on Friday, said department spokeswoman Sara Markt. She said the restaurant had passed inspection in December, but a violation was issued to the restaurant owner about "evidence of rats" — which meant only droppings at the time.
Markt said the owner of the franchise is listed with the department as ADF Fifth Operating Corp.
Rats have long been a problem in New York City, with such a dense population and such a large and readily available food supply for the rodents. They are frequently scampering through subway tunnels, rooting through trash, dashing across parks and burrowing into the walls of apartment buildings.
But it is rare to see so many rats congregating in one place in such public view.
Yum Brands Inc., based in Louisville, Ky., owns the Taco Bell and KFC restaurant chains.
Last week, it was reported that Taco Bell sales had slumped after a widely publicized E. coli scare, but that international sales helped Yum Brands in the company's fourth quarter.
The E. coli outbreak late last year caused more than 70 Taco Bell customers to become ill. Federal officials said in December that the most likely source of the illnesses was lettuce. Taco Bell took precautions by changing its suppliers of lettuce and cheese in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

odd news #4

only in louisiana at Mardi gras can you see the fools come out to play...... the lady was from ontario canada....and the "Dr. Phil Good" from LaPlace, LA.....
i bet he made his wife proud....that is if he is married...LOL

odd news #3

20 years later a college ring found....

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio (AP) -- A college ring lost more than 20 years ago by a former
undercover officer for the CIA has been found in an underwater cave off the
coast of Africa.
Steve Ruic, a writer on staff at Notre Dame College,
received an e-mail about two weeks ago from a professional diver from Germany.
Wilfried Thiesen wrote that he had found a class ring bearing the college's name
while diving off Mauritius.
The ring was engraved with the year '76. The ring
was missing the thin portion on the underside that ordinarily carries its
owner's name.
Ruic publicized the discovery in both an e-mail to college
staff and a newsletter to alumni, but no one came forward to claim it.
Then,
while interviewing a member of the class of 1976 for an unrelated alumni
magazine story, Ruic asked Dr. Maryellen Amato Stratmann if she'd ever been to
Mauritius.
"I couldn't believe it," Ruic said. "She said, 'No, but Clare
Cavoli Lopez has."'
Lopez, a 1976 Notre Dame College graduate and former CIA
undercover officer, was stationed at Port Louis, Mauritius, from 1983 to 1985.
During a dive, the ring slipped from her finger.
Ruic sent Thiesen's address
to Lopez. She has exchanged e-mails with Thiesen, she said Monday, and they're
arranging for him to mail it.

wow! that's crazy huh?

odd news #2

some one needs to help this girl out.....why do i feel sorry for her? is it because she is a nut case?
is it because she will end up like anna nichole? is it because once again she is making louisiana look stupid?
GEEZ.....where's the padded room....

odd news week

okay since i failed the picture a day challenge.....i will try this challenge by nancyroo.....ODD NEWS WEEK....
i have to find some odd news and post an entry.....

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police investigating why a car
was blocking traffic in the fast lane of a major highway on Sunday found a
couple inside having sex.

A police spokesman said the female driver and
her male passenger gave in to their passions without pulling over to the side of
the road, causing congestion and leaving other motorists having to swerve to
dodge their stationary vehicle.
A patrolman gave the woman a ticket for
holding up traffic.

okay what's wrong with this picture? passion? seriously, i think there was likely more then just passion at play here. so that's my two cents today....i might be back later with more

Happy birthday Sweetheart

Today is my darling Lauren's Birthday.
today is the day in which a new life was brought into the world.

five years and nine months ago, I went to the OBGYN and had all the blood work done and I was told I was pregnant. I had the normal pap smear done and sent off to lab. I received a call a few days later from the doctor wanting to schedule another appointment. At that appointment I had another PAP done and was told that the reason was because I had some abnormal cells.
That PAP came back worst then the one before. My doctor scheduled a biopsy that following week to be done in his office. I was terrified. When the results came back from that test, my doctor told me he was sending me to Baton Rouge to get a second opinion. I went to BR and visited with another doctor that scheduled me another biopsy for that June...I was 5 months long.
that day in the hospital be for the biopsy, fred's mom prayed for me and the baby. I have never felt such peace. The surgery went well and all of the cancer was removed from my cervix.
that night in the hospital room was scary. The nurse told me to get up and walk so that the blood would not pool. Well, I did not listen. I got up to go to the bath room around 1:30 am and Fred almost had a heart attack. There was blood everywhere. The entire floor was bright red.
I was scared from all the blood and being 5 months long that I was going to lose my baby. But all was well.

fast forward to the ultra sound in July. Mom came with me because Fred had to work and could not get off. She keep saying "your gonna have a girl I know it". I told her not to jinx it, because I kinda had my heart set on a boy. We went in the room and during the US my mom saw it was a girl. Everyone with in the office heard her scream with joy... It was going to be a girl and I was so happy it was. I am so happy she is a girl....

I will not tell you the labor/c-section story due to the fact that they are almost all the same, but today at 1:40 pm my baby girl will be 5 years old....

so happy birthday Lauren and momma thanks you from the bottom of my heart.

IT'S friday......

yeap another week gone.....closer to thanksgiving and christmas.....

another week has past with no house, but the ball is rolling and i must keep focused on the outcome....

i was able to reserve a place at the park for lauren's birthday party on the 25th.....

another week has past and i will be able to see the white stuff...oh the joy of it....looking forward to seeing it.

have a great weekend.....

Great weekend

birthday Senorita Lauren
we had a great weekend.....


Friday: went to work as normal . Then to fred's sister house for Lauren/kelsey's family birthday parties. Lauren has two parties for her birthday... The food was good....Mexican...And hence the theme Lauren dressed up. So cute ....
and we watched cars till 12:30 am....

Saturday: Fred and a couple friends went to the house and cut the carport away from the main house. geez! Seeing some movement there was nice. I forgot to take pictures of those guys working. But all went well. Me and Lauren went to eat at burger king. Was nice to spend some one on one time with her. She blows my mind.....
that night we went to Wally world to shop for Sunday's party for Robert.
and got a few gifts for lauren's birthday party on the 25th.
I baked a cake for Robert and we watched little mermaid.

Sunday: for some reason I woke up with the rooster....Excited? I have no idea. We ate breakfast and went to Roberts house to watch the saints play and eat. I enjoyed spending time with the girls and we finally got to meet cougar. He is so cute. (that's what they named their son)
Lauren loved to look and play with Diego. He is only 4 months old, but she liked playing with him.

so that's it in a nut shell....Now just to wait for the mover and get busy painting and laying floors....

I hope this is a good week.....infact I will assume it will be

i have to share this...

when you start a layout do you get confused and feel like you do all your layouts the same? does all you work start looking the same?

well, a while back on SJ a jazzer posted a link to theis website....

i am hooked and i love it. Infact , everymonth when a new map comes out i print it and place it in a 3 ring folder....i am hooked.
