The "Nightmare Trike"....

Well the decision was made tonight....the trike is going to be a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. I love that movie so much and I think it will be awesome. We brainstormed today and came up with some great ideas !! I am SOOOO excited !!! On the next nice day we are going to rip the motor out of the Corsica and start building!!! Oh boy, I CANNOT wait to get it finished !!!

F'n wasps.....

Oh...tis the season for wasps and snakes. I love all the creatures of the Earth, but snakes and wasps are among the most feared in my home. Robin is terrified of wasps, as am I of snakes. The wasps are terrible this year. We've killed a few inside and our poor baby Burl got stung in the nose and his face swelled up like a balloon. Ugh...I understand what the purpose of wasps, but come on why sting me or my cats when we haven't done anything to you. So today I've decided to fight back !!! I went to the local Wally Mart and bought 5 cans of wasp and hornet spray, a yellow jacket trap and some bee baits. I will rule the land !!! As of an hour ago I have already caught 2 wasps in the trap and shot 5 down out of the air. Like I said, I will rule!!

As for snakes, thats my hell on Earth !!! They don't (unfortunately) sell any sort of traps, bait or spray for them !!! I try to stay clear of areas where they might possible be lurking, but cleaning up brush and mowing tall grass puts you right in the middle of "happy snakeland"!!! I have only seen one so far, and after popping a xanax, I survived. Let's pray that I do not see anymore, I don't think I could take it.

This evening I will be planning my rose bush garden with my Aunt Judy. She's a wealth of knowledge when it comes to plants and gardens, and I know she will help me plan a beautiful rose garden. We have alot to discuss, like why I keep losing my rose bushes, and hopefully can come up with a solution to get my rose bushes to live.

Happy Spring to all !!!

Dream a little dream of me.....

Well I spent yesterday out in the garden, got alot accomplished and I'm very happy about that. I lost a couple rosebushes, which makes me very sad, but I'll just have to replace them.

I also went and visited a long time friend of mine. His name is Jeff and he's a motorcycle trike builder. I had a great time, and might very well be building one of my own a few months down the road. It is something I've always dreamed of. I am very excited and hope that this dream of mine will come true. Jeff and I sat down and kicked ideas around and we have come up with some great plans. I went out on Thelma's trike (Jeff's wife) with her and it was such a great feeling. I got alot of work ahead of me, but I'm ready for the challenge. The above picture is of Jeff's last trike that he built. He built it for himself, and it's an awesome ride!

So this is my project right now, I don't know if I financially can do it, but I'm going to give it a try !!! Cross your fingers ( and toes ) !!!

The weather is nice, wish you were here.....

Well, today was so nice out! I got alot accomplished. I had a wonderful lunch with my mom, and did some odds-n-ends shopping. I bought a new hummingbird feeder for Sydney ( one of our cats ), he loves to watch the hummingbirds. For some reason they like to tease him and dance in the window in front of him. He chirps like a bird and the hummingbirds entertain him for hours. I also bought Boom-boom ( another of our cats ) some new fishies. Our baby cat loves the fish tank and gets terribly upset when any of the fish die. I always promise him that I will buy him new ones when I go to the store. He waits patiently by the door for me to get home with his new fishies, and actually waits for them while I float the baggie. Then when I release the new fishies, he watches them very closely to make sure that they adjust to the new tank. He's so funny !!!!

I also did some weeding in the flowers beds. My daffodils are starting to bloom and the tulips aren't going to be far behind. I love the spring time !!!

Tomorrow I am going to work some more in the flower beds and get some spring clean-up done. I gotta go get my mop cut too. Then I think I will relax and have a quiet evening at home.

Out of work early.....

Well tonight I got to get out of work early....how awesome is that!!! We had extra officers so I actually had senority to be able to leave 4 hours early. So here I sit watching King Kong and actually getting a chance to relax. Robin was happy to see me come home early, but was not feeling well after eating a pork chop. Boy, am I glad I can't eat pork...or else I would be sick too. I am also taking tonight to try and figure out how turn on the comments so people can leave me messages if they so choose to.

Also today we received a package from one of my best friends, Todd, thats in Iraq. He sent us beautiful bracelets and 2 t-shirts from the Camp Falcon Fire dept. in South Baghdad, Iraq. How cool is that !! I miss him alot and can't wait for him to come home.

Well, I am going to finish watching King Kong and then work on painting my birdhouses. And the cats are begging for treats, so I must go before I get my face legs scratched off !!!!

Lets celebrate.....

Well with the birth of Sierra yesterday, we have alot to be thankful for. She is a healthy little peanut and she's doing well. I talked with Brian and they finally were going to get to hold her and they were so excited about that. I would also like to celebrate someone else....Gram Brinkman. Today is her birthday and I can't believe that shes been gone for almost 10 years. I miss her so much but I know that she's so happy right now looking down on baby Sierra and seeing what a beautiful baby she is. I miss Gram so much and it still hurts deeply to not have her here physically, but I know she's always looking down on us and laughing and spritually guiding us along. I always think of the great times that we had and that seems to make missing her not be so bad. I love you Gram and Happy Birthday !!!

YEA...SHE'S HERE !!!!!!!!

Congrats to Brian and Karen !!!!

I am so glad that everything worked out !!! She's such a beautiful baby and she's been born to two great people. I can't wait to see her and hold her !!!

Come on now , push....

I guess that Sierra is being stubborn and has decided to make Karen go through extreme labor in order for Sierra to pop out. Ooooh weeee.....hang on Karen.....we here in NY are praying for you and can't wait to see that little angel !!!!

Well, this blog is new, I will give it time....

I've been wondering why no one has came to my new blog.....

I guess that you have to tell people about your blog, or they won't know it exists (duh!). So I am posting and send emails to tell about my new blog.....

Today was an uneventful day. I feel like crap, ( I think Robin and I are in the begining stages of the stomach flu...ugh !!!), and I had to clean up cat puke yet again. So needless to say, a pukey crappy day all around....the weather was awesome today and it was nice to be able to go outside without being worried about getting frostbitten !!!!

Hopefully my blog will get more interesting and I will hear from you all !!!!

Welcome to all !!!

Welcome to all my friends and family. I am new to this "blogging" business but I want to open up more channels to friends and family who want to keep in touch. So here it is...The Disney Diva's Daliy Dish !!!!
