A Watched Mailbox Never Delivers

July 12, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: home, life | Leave a Comment


My husband and I are waiting for our stimulus check. My husband is a lucky “99” person, so we’re last on the list. And we’re also getting a paper check. We got the letter that said it would be here by the 11th…and well, it’s the 12th and still no check.

Isn’t that the way though? When you REALLY need it and are looking and waiting for it, it comes late? Dam Murphy!

Hopefully, hopefully hopefully (!!!) it will be here on Monday.

The babies (dogs) are out of their morning food and we’re improvising…which is ok, but not great. This morning Onyx had 3 oz of honest kitchen (thank GOD for the samples we got in the mail!!!!) and then I cut some pieces off of a chicken back to get her to 5 oz. Topaz had some ground hamburger (so much for sloppy joes!) and the rest of the chicken back I cut up for Onyx. At least we still have 3 containers of chicken backs. If the check’s not here by Monday I will thaw out the chicken we have in the freezer…it’s freezerburned, but they probably won’t know the difference. It would be nice if I had a grinder.

Now to some more random topics:

I’m listening to “Marley & Me” at work right now. I’ve run out of other things and saved this one for last. Actually, I tried to listen to it before I listened to “It Had To Be You” by Susan Elizabeth Phillips but I couldn’t do it. I read “Marley & Me” and I loved it. I didn’t read it at the most appropriate time in my life (we had just lost a cat) but it is a wonderful book. On audio however, …yikes! The author, John Grogan, reads the book and let me stress again…I LOVE the book…but his voice is whiny and I don’t know…it’s just really painful to listen to. But I’m out of other books to listen to, so “Marley & Me” it is!

I check out a few different blogs (located on the right side) for scrapbook freebies. I’m so excited to be able to find a template and see in my head what i can do with it…now that i know how to use templates in photoshop. I found this one here and instantly thought of my sister who’s getting married in October. Then I found the most perfectest freebie kits to use (i need to find the link for the blog I found them on)! The whole page kind of came together…which is exciting. I love to use my creative side. It relaxes me.

I’m going to end this with my scrapbook kit wish list. These are some kits that I’ve been admiring lately…one of these days I’ll get them! I see kits everyday that I’d love to buy, but these are some that I keep going back to!!

I've been Tagged!!

June 30, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment


Well, not really…but I saw this on another blog and wanted to do it…so here it is!

1. I’m totally utterly crazy in love with McDonald’s Sweet Tea!! I would drink it everyday if I could. I get it as often as I can…and for 1.00, you JUST cannot go wrong! YUM!

2. Besides babysitting, I’ve only had two jobs in my life. I worked at a local grocery store for 5 years and I’ve had my current job for 11 year. I’ve worked in other sections in my current job, but I’ve been with the company for 12 years.

3. I listen to all kinds of music. My iPod has a little bit of something from almost every genre on it. My favorites are: Violent Femmes, Pink, Alanis Morisette, Dixie Chicks, Kelly Clarkson. My husband and I “fight” over music because he thinks I should broaden my listening horizon. I just like what I like and in most cases it’s a song here or there and not so much a specific group, singer or band…other than the ones listed above.

4. I think birds are creepy. Some are gorgeous, all are creepy. “shudder” Owls too. Anything with feathers really. creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!

5. I am afraid of moths. Especially really big ones.

6. The first time I had been to the Emergency room was a few years ago when my cat bit me. That was also the first time I had stayed in the hospital overnight. I’ve been to the ER a few times since, but still have yet to have an inpatient admission to the hospital. I think maybe my husband has used up all my hospital and ER time. LOL

7. I LOVE taking pictures and am in awe of people who take fabulous photos. I so want to be like them when I grow up.

I won’t “tag” anyone…but if someone else wants to do this, have at it!

What fruit am I?

June 21, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

Well, I wanted to be a pear…but you know these online tests don’t lie and are 100% accurate…so I must be a banana! haha


You Are a Banana


You are mellow, easy going, and a total softie on the inside.

People find it really easy to get along with you. You suit most tastes.

And while you’re very sweet, you’re not boring or ordinary.

You have an attraction to the exotic, and you could show up anywhere… doing almost anything!

You are spirited, energetic, and a total kick to be around.

You’re also quite funny. Your sense of humor is on the goofy side, and it fits you well.

What Type of Fruit Are You?
