Saturday is a special day!!

What a wonderful day Saturday was. Friday night I finished paint my spice rack.

I am so pleased with myself.

Saturday morning, I had plans with Caitlyn to go to the Farmers Market. Caitlyn oringally planned to have a Mommys' Day and Brandon would watch Emma. Brandon ended having to work. So instead of shopping with Caitlyn in Boise, we settled for Nampa. We met up at the Farmers Market at 10am. Tj and I went to the dog park prior to FM (aka Farmers Market).
One time we went, Tj used the middle of the aisle as a dump site so the dog park makes sure I am never that embarrassed again!

When I was meeting Caitlyn, I got a suprise. Lexy and Marlee came too!!
I really love the times at the market. It seems to be a sister time.
Not that much happens, it is just nice to be around them.

At FM, there was a new booth selling Whoopie Pies. I guess it is an east coast treat. It is basically a Oreo made out of cake and I think a cream cheese filling. It was really good. Expensive at $2/ea but a 1x splurge is ok. I also got a beautiful purple flower. I already forgot what it is called. According to the vendor it is a fall blooming flower and really easy to take care of. For $2, it seemed worth it. Now my front door looks really cute.

After the Market, we went to the Idaho Youth Ranch Clearance Center in Nampa. You basically just dig through the bins and the cost is by the pound!! The heavier it is the cheaper the cost per pound is. I found many cute shelves and a WICKER PICNIC BASKET!! I have been wanting
a picnic basket for so long but even at the normal junk stores, they still want $10!! I figure I only spent $1 at the clearance center.

After the junk store, Caitlyn and I went to Target. Lexy had to get Marlee home for a nap. After Target I picked up Tj from Lexy's house (ran Tj there after the market so he wouldn't have to stay in the car during the junk store). I had a great lunch with Lexy and than went home.

Thought that I would have a quick nap before Dad picked me up for the game but he needed to run to Home Depot (and thankfully so did I) so we left earlier. The Game was awesome. It was a shut out--BSU 48 vs Miami 0. I thought we had great seats (not THE GREATEST but great). We were shaded and could see most everything.

The woman who sat to my left (Dad was on my right) was there more for socializing than the game. I was REALLY into it. I was jumping up and yelling. Toward the 2nd half, SHE wasn't appreciating the yelling. When I would start to holler when Miami had the ball, she would make a tsking sound and make a production of sticking her finger in her ear and leaning forward.

Was that going to stop me from yelling? Heck no!! I yell at my house watching football so why woudl be keep quite at the STADIUM!?! Thankfully Dad and I found parking on the street so we didn't have to pay $10 for the garages. We made it home by 10pm. For a recap click here.

all by my lonesome, I was lonesome

I have found an old MP3 player the other day. I put in a new battery and started to listen to what music I had. I last listened to this MP3 player when I lived on Juanita in Boise which was 2 years ago (OMG!! How time is flying!!). There are songs that I am still listening too (like Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Gary Allan) but there are some bands I hadn't listened to in awhile. Like Our Lady Peace, Within Temptation, ALL Breaking Ben albums, Evanescence, and Incubus just to name a few. This got me thinking about what I was doing at that time. I had a group of friends and lived with best friend. I thought life couldn't get better. I loved my apartment, roommate was great, work was ok (and will always be just ok until I am independently wealthy), family was awesome, what more could I need?

I was annoyed with some friends. It seemed that I was always arranging everything. If someone was having a birthday, I would be the to organize the party/bbq, or if we wanted to go out, I would get the tickets. I would pay for tickets out of pocket and expected to be reimbursed. Did that every happen? Not really. I was slowly getting fed up with it all. They woudl all dump emotional baggage on me, but when I tried to offload some of my own, who would listen? No one. I slowly started pulling away until I just stopped answering their calls. I know that sounds cold but I tried talking but never got responses. So I ended it.

So the group of friends was no longer there. That was ok. I still had my family and the best friend. Now I know what the group of friends felt like. The best friend slowly pulled from me.
I am listening to these songs (especially Breaking Ben, Within Temp, Panic @ Disco, etc) and thinking of the times that we were playing Halo or Baldors Gate and having a great time. Or the runs to Jack in the Box becasue neither one of us wanted to cook dinner. Or the time we made bathroom brownies (not like they sound. We couldn't turn on a light in the kitchen becasue that would have given away that someone was home and we were hiding from some people. So we took all the ingredients itno bathroom and use the water/light in there).

There was the Holy Day of Thursday for Supernatural. Last night while watching the premiere all by my lonesome, I was lonesome and wished I could go back to the apartment on Juanita. I understand that people change. I have changed. I just wished I could still have that particular friend.

Supernatural is SUPER!!

The new season so Supernatural aired last night. I am in LOVE/LUST with the stars Jensen Ackles (aka Dean Winchester) and Jared Padalecki (aka Sam Winchester) AND Mischa Collins (aka Castiel). Dean and Sam are demon/ghost/anything go bump in the night hunters. Castiel is an angle who started helping them last season.

One of my ALL TIME favorite quotes in the ENITRE series of Supernatural is Castiel's response to Deans questions of "Who are you?" Cas (nickname given by Dean) says "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition." You must need to hear how Castiel says it. In a rough stern voice and looking very serious. It is the greatest.

Supernatural gives you a little bit of everything. There is comedy, drama, suspense, action, romance, family connections, tragedy, joy, shock, horror, and everything in between. If you haven't seen it and want to, just ask to borrow my DVDs. Yes I bough all of them. And will probably have to buy a second copy after the first has been worn out.

The show is better than I expected. I nearly cried at two different parts. They just broke my heart. But enough about that. Below are some of my favorite pics.

The car (Chevy Impalla) is just as important to the show as the characters.

Not a scene from the show but still LOVE IT!!

This is courtesy of Chicago Tribune. It is from third episode this season. My two favorite men!


The brothers. LOVE them in the suits (usually pretending to be FBI).

too bad they are related...

My sister sent my this picture today.

I would say this is the future but they are related.

They are some of the cutest kids.

This would be even cutier if Marlee were there.

Wyatt and Emma.

Breaking Ben!!

"Yells”
Now The dark begins to rise, save your breath it’s far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind, now’s your chance to run for cover
I don’t want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I’m not giving in
I Will Not Bow, I Will Not Break
I Will shove the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

“yells”

Watch the end from dying eyes, now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever diesTake the fall and run to heaven
All is lost again but I’m not giving in
I will not bow, I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I’ll survive, paranoid I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded fate
I will shove the world away

“yells”

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shove the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
And I’ll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded fate
I will shove the world away

“Yells”

Heartbreaks and happiness..

Last night I babysat Wyatt. Jana had to go consol a friend who found out that her baby was still born. The couple went to the Dr's yesterday to find out the sex of the baby and she found out the baby had already died. To make matters worse, she had to wait til the evening before she was able to deliver the baby!! HOW AWFUL!! I can't image the agony she must have been suffering to all day knowing the baby you carried had died. I couldn't bear it. My heart breaks for the family.
While babysitting, Wyatt and I went to the dog park. It was so funny to watch Wyatt. He was bending over to pet TJ and his gum fell out. Before I could tell you know, he popped it back into his mouth!! YUCK!!
A little while later, he was running and TJ was following him. Wyatt all of a sudden stopped and sniffed the ground. He than went over to a bench and started sniffing the bench!! I asked him what he was doing and he said was being a dog.
Between the antics of TJ and Wyatt, I laughed all afternoon.

I labored on Labor Day!!

It has been a relaxing, tiring, successful, nice weekend for Labor day. I did work most of it. I did the loads of laundary that have been waiting to get done. I deep cleaned this weekend (well I still have to vaccum and mop but that doens't take too long). I accomplished pretty much everything I wanted too. Plus I made $30 at our yard sale. Most of it were DVD I was selling ($1/ea is a great price if I say so myself.) At the yard sale I was selling a crock pot that works but I lost the lid. I was selling it for $2. WHAT A STEAL. This lady wanted to pay only $1!! I was firm on the $2 price because it is still functional. I would love to see anyone beat that price!! But she wouldn't take it for $2 and was being such a jerk about it. With her attitude, there was no way in Hades I would sell it to her so her loss. I would rather donate it (which I am).

I got this shelf from Jana who was going to sell it in a yard sale. I need a spice rack to clear cubbard space so I took it from her. I first got it in begining of July and now it is September and I am just getting around to it (isn't that how it always goes?). So this is what it looked like before I started.

Here it is after I have taken it apart and sanded it.

I have painted the shelves.

And the outside casing.

Here is a better color of the yellow and I am attaching the pieces.

And here it is at the end of today. I still have to do a little more painting with some red and white but it will fit perfectly into my cherry kitchen. I will post pics once I have this hanging.

I picked up a pair of mirrors today at a yard sale for $0.50 but they were gold.
I knew I could paint them. so....

Taadaa!! Don't they look much better. I just took some dark brown paint and dry brushed it to the frames. Look much better in person.

Tj and I went to the doggie park to hang out with Caitlyn, Emma, Brandon and Boomer. Tj never gets in the water. He has gotten in the water voluntary one time. I took out the terry cloth that I have covering my back seat to wash (the terry cloth protects Tj's paws from the hot black leather and keeps him from sliding around. It also protets the leather from his nails).

Just because I took out the terry cloth, Tj decideds to get in the water and look how messy he got. (He got even worse as he continued to run around).

After the doggie park, TJ and I head to my parents house to use their bathtub with the shower head with a hose. TJ is not a fan of baths so I was soaked by the time we were done. But at least he is clean and fluffy. I just washed my sheets this morning too so this is a very good thing.
