Still here!
Just having some computer issues once again! You would think with 3 of them, there would be no problems. So while I have a connection let me be quick.
Just to reiterate, you all know I live in Texas right? And that Texans love themselves, right? Well, because I am an outsider I think my builder wanted to help keep me informed so he put this on the outside of my home.
So everytime I drive up, I am reminded where I am living. That is my house address! I bet no other state can brag of such pride!
And it seems like nearly everyday, the wild life wants to remind me where I live also. One morning last week I walked out on my back porch with a cup of coffee looking for some peace and this is what greeted me. I spilled the coffee all over myself.
This is a stick bug. While I have seen a DEAD one before, it was no where near this size. I called Keith about it and he said chase it off the porch with a broom. It is as big as my broom!! When he came home, he was pretty shocked over its size (and knew I wasn't exaggerating) but kindly picked it up and took it off our property. Whew!
And here are some boring pics... This is what you see when you come out on my front porch. The house across the street being built and the fields off in the distance that will hopefully stay that way for a while.
I have been trying to get my house decorated and have been taking my sweet time, but I did mess around with the fireplace a little bit. I need opinions on this one.
Keith does not like it because he says the mirror is too tall and should be turned on it side. I say we should take advantage of the high ceilings and it is still well below the ceiling anyhow. Our fireplace still needs a fancy screen and I was thinking about getting one of those skinny tall topiary trees to go on the othe side of the mirror.
And the mirror itself! Isn't that cool?! I bought that thing almost 10 years ago in a thrift shop for around $15. For years it was painted red, but last week I painted it black and put some vinyl lettering on it. I might change it to say something else so it covers more of the mirror, but I was in a hurry to get something on it and put up on the mantel.
And Lori- this one is for you! Here is what I put in Jadyn's room above her closet door. Vinyl of course!

Love it! I can't wait for Holly's "Faith, trust and pixie dust" vinyl and Bethany's "Remember the 5th Commandment!" (hee,hee) I want to see more pictures of your house! I also want to try to figure out a way to buy some of that woman's furniture...
It crackes me up that Texas shows a little independence from the Feds!
We used to call that long skinny bug, darning needles, but couldn't tell if it was exactly the same thing or not.
Did you stand in line for the HP book? Shawn said he was going to with his 14 year old niece and buy the book for her, as it all seemed like great fun to him. gran
Have you looked at Iverson Reunion 2007 on website yet?
