Don't Set That F*@%&!R for Five!!

Those were the last words my husband muttered before falling asleep last night. You see, I set the alarm sometimes for my 5am workout. So maybe I hit snooze a couple of times. What is the big deal? He CLAIMS to be awake from the time it first goes off...I disagree unless of coarse he has a rare disorder where he SNORES while awake! :) You know I love you Bird!!

Last weekend? Well we got off to a rough start but it ended up good. Bryan, Robyn, Jarrod, Bird and I went to dinner and then bowling. Ok get this, I bowled better than I ever have.... which is not saying much. There wasn't one round that I was up that I didn't hit most of the pins. I couldn't believe it! Brian found that simulated roller coaster machine ride and Robyn and I rode it a couple of times. It was so fun!! We soaked up the sun Sunday. We watched a couple of movies and mentally prepared ourselves for the ass whip of a week that we both have had.

So I am half way through and still above water. Brian and I are going to have a date tomorrow afternoon. We are shopping at Nordstroms, seeing a movie (the new Indiana Jones!!) and then having sushi. Ok so the week doesn't sound so bad now. I am looking forward to our long weekend. I am sure we will find something entertaining to do.

Until next time! Happy Memorial Day!!

We had another great weekend except for the fact that Robyn was sick all week and then Bryan was sick through the weekend. J, B and I went to see Ironman Friday night. They have been wanting to go...It was a good movie. Brandi came in Saturday night. It was so good to see her and we had a blast like we always do. We went down to Sting. This is a bar in Addison. It has a great patio with huge fire torches surrounded by water. They played our kind of music too! We met up with Steven, Susan, Roger etc. Our only mistake was stopping at Whataburger on the way home!

I enjoyed very much talking to my mom, Granny, and Grandma for Mother's Day. I had a super day as well. Soli got me some jeans, Hannah got me a pair too and Athena went all out and got the cropped Citizen's I wanted. Brian got me the new UA shoes I wanted! Better to walk the kids with miss Jenny! We had our coffee and eggs, crawled back in bed...all 5 of us...and watched the Indiana Jones movies. About 5 we got back up and cooked bacon wrapped shrimp, steak and chicken. We drank wine and watched a movie and then back to bed! I feel very very lucky to have such a great mom, granny and grandma and so lucky to have my little family. Brian is a pretty thoughtful husband....and he is cute too:)!!!

I am just bored today and so I will write whatever comes to mind. I saw The Golden Compass the other night...it was awesome. I really like There Will Be Blood as well. You really can't beat Daniel Day Lewis when it comes to actors except Ray Liotta :) !

Brian is gone for a business dinner tonight so I get to catch up on my 48 Hours Mystery and Dateline NBC. I also can't wait to see Jason voted off American Idol.

This past weekend was good and bad. Saturday was fun. We ate at Gloria's. Some people we knew through one person joined us. That didn't turn out as good as I hoped. Our side of the table was called "Kids R Us" ha ha. I took that as a big compliment and smiled. We made last call at Chaucer's (WTF????) and then back to our house again.

Jarrod was watching his brothers dog this weekend as well. Sunday we were in our backyard and the puppy got into something at the fence behind the bushes. It was rat poison! Long story short, our neighbor laid it out and put some under our fence as well as his own yard. I don't think it was malicious but VERY STUPID!!!!! J & B took the dog to the vet where it threw up 5 piles of blue poison. Let me assure you that when Brian walked over to confront the guy he didn't want any trouble. !!! Let me also assure you that if Athena Marie had gotten into it there would be missing posters for my poor neighbor.

Brandi is coming this weekend to see me! Yea! Since she has moved to Houston, I have missed her very much! I am sure we will find something fun to do!!

For all you mothers (that includes doggie mothers)....Have a good Mother's Day!! I wonder what the kids got me this year......

Bye Bye Bees!

Has anyone ever had a swarm of bees come visiting to your home? Well Monday afternoon I had about 30,000 unexpected house guests. Soon after arriving home from work, I fed the dogs and walked to our bathroom to change clothes. That's when I heard a very loud buzzing noise overhead. Was I in a scene from Amityville Horror? Bees were flying around my bathroom and accumulating around our large bathroom window. So I ran out and made a check of the rest of the house and the doggies. The dogs were fine and a few bees had made their way into the bedroom and study.

To make a long story shorter....exterminators can't kill bees. It is against the law to kill bees! So I called a beekeeper. The good news is that if bees are in the home, it is a sign that they have just arrived. The aproximate number of the little guys is 30,000. The bad news was they couldn't come till Tuesday to remove them. Another interesting fact is that if a swarm of bees arrives at your home, the bees probably escaped from a beekeeping facility!

I wish I had taken a picture of Brian and Jon...they were out in their black slacks and button up shirts with wasp spray. They were hitting the swarm site from the outside of the house. I have to admit Jon was quite a bit more brave that Bird.

The aftermath wasn't pretty. I collected about 45 bees from the bathroom and there were tons in the lights......but they are gone. Yea!!!

I am looking forward to the weekend. Brian returns from Las Vegas tonight late. We are having a party on the patio somewhere Sat. The weather is supposed to be beautiful. I am sure we will return to our house later in the night. I love nothing more than to be with friends and my Bird catching up and having fun!
