CAUTION!

I was in the parking lot at the grocery store today and in the window of this heavily beat up wagon there was one of those bright yellow & black CAUTION! BABY ON BOARD hangy things. I regarded it as I got out of my own car and walked in side for some reason unable to let the sign go in my cogs and nuts brain.
I wondered - why do people put stuff like that on their car? I mean does the drive of that last leg heap really think that because they have that CAUTION sign - that will stop an accident from occurring. Or do they believe that people will see that and think "Oh my. I must guard that car. It needs caution because it has a baby on board". I don't understand the logic behind sign such as these. I mean at least put up something funny and entertaining for your fellow drivers - Unless your a hemroid get off my ass. Or - If you're riding my ass you better be pullin' my hair. But seriously the best expression of yourself you can find is CAUTION! BABY ON BOARD.

Where my Peeps at?

I love spring time. Birds are chirping. Flowers are blooming. And Cadbury Creme Eggs are out in full force. Why is it I can only get these tasty snacks from February 15th until the week after Easter? Cadbury Eggs along with our friends the Peeps should be around all year.
Let's start a revolution. A goodies revolution. Cadbury and Peeps 2008!

General Update

*Deep Sigh*
It's Thursday night. My dear sweet hubby instructed a class for the business until 7pm. Then he went to Mimzy's to help her - a really nice woman from FreeCycle is picking Mimzy's old kitchen table. I don't expect him home for at least another 30 minutes - or rather I hope he's not home for another 30 minutes (or more). As a surprise I made a yummy smelling dinner of fresh pasta with a quite tasty (if I do say so myself) meat sauce, fresh asparagus and I am even trying to branch out and bake! Yes you heard me correctly, bake. I bought one of those quick rising in a box bread things, we'll cross our fingers on how it tastes! But its in its final rising now and has at least another 30 minutes before I can even bake it.
So whilest the sauce is a-simmerin' and the bread is a-risin' I've been a-researching. Lately I've felt like I need more creative outlets for myself. I've signed up to take a pottery/ceramics class with the Folsom P&R and next month I hope to start guitar lessons. My first pottery/ceramics class was Tuesday and it's been a while I must say. But I did end up throwing a pretty respectable bowl. I really need to work on my cylanders (I have a height problem with clay) so I can make some vases.
I also want to take a few cooking classes. Now if you know me, I do pride myself on my cooking abilities. I feel I am quite good. However I also feel like my knowledge is limited and I'd really like to branch out into other foods (I feel my best is Italian followed closely by Mexican). So I've been looking at foods on the Sacramento Co-Op website (Sissy has taken some classes there and she seems to like them). So I found at least 2 (mediterrain and garlic lovers!) And I also found that they offer a "dinner" of sorts on March 7th that is all vegetarian - which while I LOVE my meat, Sissy and Mark don't so I would like to learn a different approach to making veggies main courses since Rick and I both love veggies. Maybe the four of us can go to this dinner thing. Might be interesting.
Now with only 15 minutes left before throwing the bread in the oven, I must go queue up the TV and try to get in some RealWorld/Road Rules Guantlet from this week - who will go home next?!

Buffy taking a little snooze



Willow interupting our little snooze

Good reason to be late for work

I chased a little Chihuahua this morning which made me a few minutes late for work and I couldn't catch the poor little thing. It was running around on Baroque (which is a pretty major street in our development). I felt bad what with it getting ready to rain and all. I am sure the poor little guy just got out when its owner wasn't looking since it had a collar. Much in the style of Willowmena T Fuzzer it wouldn't let me get anywhere near it without taking off at top Chihuahua speed (which is surprisingly fast for a little thing). It ended up losing me when it took a cut through path that I couldn't drive down. I hope its okay.

How cute is she?

How cute is she? This is Buffy taking a little nap with the new play parachute that Rick just bought for the business. The box was on our kitchen table in front of the open sliding glass door with warm sun filtering through it all day. She just kept moving around and rearranging the parachute to be comfy for her. She doesn't like the paparazzi though so getting this picture was difficult!

LONGEST WEEK EVER - part 2

This is FOR SURE the longest week ever. Know whats worse that a Friday before a 3 day weekend? The Friday before a 3 day weekend where the week seems to have lasted at least 20 work days AND you've gone full fledged with the cold your hubby had.
Know what else is worse than that? HAVE A COLD ON A 3 DAY WEEKEND! Not happy not happy not happy!

Eve of Saint Valentine's Day

Yes and tonight Mrs. Fields ain't got nuttin' on me Bitches! Tonight I baked 90 cookies. But not just any cookie - no no my friends. Tonight I made 90 of the famous, the outrageous - Terri Boyd's Monster Cookies! All as a treat for those near and dear to my heart for tomorrow. And now I am tired and my fingers smell of oats and peanut butter and I must retire so that early tomorrow I can go about my Saint Valentine's Day trick or treating rampage (Hey, I know I am combining holidays here but give me a break - I just baked 7.5 DOZEN cookies)! Love to all!

Is it Friday yet?

Longest week ever! My poor Rick is SUPER sick and has been off work almost all week. My poor Willow dog has a bladder infection (I think). And work has been crazy! I am just glad we have a 3 day weekend coming!

Love it!

Lawson's Landing @ Dillon Beach is one of my favorite memories of young adolesence. I used to go camping with the Woods there and it became a place that I LOVED. It looks like they're catching up in times and now have a pretty decent website and a fisher blog!

Don't tell Rick - but I am hoping we can make it there to go camping this summer!

Seemed only fair

New show aleart!!

This weekend when I was trying to evade helping Mimzy move I started a new obsession on TV. Somehow I wandered past the BBC chanel. How have I NEVER watched this before. When I first started I was watching some show about women who come into others house and clean it up. WOW.
But then the real magic happened. I started watching Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. This is a wonder of shows where Gordon goes into struggling restaurants and tries to help them rev up their business. After watching a couple episodes of this, I decided to DVR other episodes as well as Gordon Ramsay's F-word. LOVE THIS SHOW. Everyone should watch it. I have spoken.

Saturday oh Saturday

Today is Saturday. I love Saturdays. I love "sleeping in" (although this morning my sleeping in was only until 8am) and wearing my PJs until 10am. I love having breakfast with my husband - something we NEVER get to do Monday thru Friday. I love watching pointless TV and becoming adicted.

I do NOT love - having to move (especially when the person moving is NOT me and I've just moved). Today Rick and assisted Mimzy in moving. This move chaps my hide for several reasons which I do not deem worthy of discussing at this point let me just let it be known I am NOT HAPPY that she moved! (IR)Regardless we helped her and it was COLD and it was misty, sharp raining and she lives upstairs - need I say more! So we are now home for the evening but slated to return to her apartment tomorrow morning to assist in "bossing" the movers. The "best thing" about this move is that Rick talked Mimzy into hiring movers to take the furniture. So hopefully we'll have the move settled up by 2pm tomorrow in order to allow us to come home and relax before going out to dinner to help my wonderful cousin Mike celebrate his birthday.

As a side note, whilest moving some of the crap out of Mimzy's "new house" we found some old vinyle and in that we found treasures of untold wealth. One of my favorites was Beastie Boys License to Ill - ON VINYLE! Right now we're listening to Ray Charles What'd I Say side two, we just finised [Ray's] Rockhouse, one of my favorite songs. I think I shall go hunt out some others to listen to.

Saturday oh Saturday!
