I really do despise Mondays. How come 3 days off fly by so fast and then monday comes around and time stands still? Just not right!
We went to the lake saturday, i took my grandson with me since he just loves being outdoors. It was HOT, i spent most of the time trying to keep him comfortable and i might have a biased opinion here..but he is a trooper. Almost 9 months old and he is the easiest going baby EVER.
Showed off the flamedisk again that i had won. I have won a lot of things over the last few years, but i have to admit this little invention has impressed more people than i can count. They are totally worth the money, quick lighting (matches included), you can cook in 5 minutes, clean up is a breeze and they are cleaner burning so you are helping the environment too..great little things, i'll definately order some. I just want to note that this is my honest opinion, the company has not given me any incentive to post this..just wanted to throw that out there in case someone is wondering, i'm just really in love with the flamedisks.
Yesterday it was time to hit some stores, made a trip to CVS, Homeland and Walmart. Caught up on some shopping since i've been slacking in that area the past couple of weeks. Well that sums up my weekend, before i knew it monday morning was here....sigh how i hate that alarm clock

Plans for the weekend
Today was my biweekly friday off and instead of sleeping in i got up at 6:45 and decided to be a little productive. It's likely that whoever reads this doesn't know me but lets just say..me getting up at 6:45 am on my day off? doesn't happen very often.
But anywho...by 8:30 i had laundry going and was outside mowing the lawn...i have this thing about my lawn..once i see a few patches of grass growing higher than the rest of the yard, i want to mow. Right now you are probably thinking "wow she must have a nice yard" uhmm..sure..far from it. My yard should look like this:
but instead it looks similar to this one:
After a shower i headed to Old Navy with my daughter, i got a $75 off $100 coupon yesterday and we ended up with a lot of good stuff.
Back home..cleaning..babysitting grandson, and tomorrow we are going back to the lake for some tubing and getting together with family and friends..Well that's all from here..anyone got anything exciting planned this weekend or any idea how i can perk up my lawn?

Storm+Lake and boat=Nightmare
Well do i have a story for you...
Saturday my boyfriend and I had one of those rare chances to go fishing late in the evening.
So after going thru our checklist:
Saturday my boyfriend and I had one of those rare chances to go fishing late in the evening.
So after going thru our checklist:
- Checking local weather (little storm, showing to be going north of us, we are clear)
- Packing snacks
- Change of clothes (been sick and figured it might get cool(er))
- Getting boat ready
Off we go. We get to the lake, unload the boat, go to our favorite fishing spot (wayyy out at the other end of the lake), cast our lines.
Ten minutes later i am watching the sky...thinking to myself hmm..pretty dark clouds, must be that storm that showed on the radar but it showed it will go north of us, no worries, right? right??? Because our weathermen are always wrong right!
The clouds come closer, i hear thundering, i see lightening..clouds are beginning to swirl in the sky, smart girl i am i get on my crackberry and go to the weather website, while i'm staring at the radar trying to figure out where that big RED SPOT is..i feel a rain drop..then another. My boyfriend tells me to reel my lines in..i start getting nervous, both my lines tangle up. Then it hit us!
It is pouring down, the wind is blowing like crazy, the anchor isn't holding our bass boat yacht anymore. My boyfriend pulls the anchor in, starts the motor, then looks at me and says: "Put your lifevest on" HUH???? Call me slow but at that moment i realized, we are in HUGE trouble.
We are starting to putter towards the boat ramp at the OTHER END of the lake, i'm sitting in the boat with my lifevest on, getting beat up by hail, getting soaked, freezing my non existing hiney off...and i said my good byes to my girls and my grandson..Seriously. I knew this was it.
Needless to say i survived the "perfect storm" or i wouldn't be here blogging about it, it took us 15 minutes to make it to the boat ramp, we tied up the boat. A bunch of young smartmouths kids were sitting in a truck by the ramp, one rolled down the window while i got off the boat, beat up and soaked and goes "you all catch anything?"
I just glared at him and stomped to the truck, once we got in the truck we both burst out laughing, all i could say was "Guess that will give me something to blog about"
