Want some of this?

Ok ... these are really funny videos. Watch the bottom one first. I posted them in the wrong order, but it takes so long for them to upload --- I don't want to do it again! Either way, they are cute.

Housing?

Look at the cute little chipmunk Marcus and Logan found yesterday in our backyard. He was enjoying some our birdseed until ...

Well, yes, he's stuck INSIDE the bird feeder. I am not sure why he thought this would be a smart idea. It's great to have all that food at your disposal, but if it means being stuck, is it worth it? Don't worry - Marcus rescued the little booger.

Doesn't our backyard look quite peaceful in these pictures though?

Have a great Tuesday!

FOR TODAY Monday, October 13, 2008
Outside My Window... is a beautiful day and I am here at work working (what a concept) and then staying late to finish up my final project for school!
I am thinking... about getting my final project for school done by the 16th. A little stressed!!!
I am thankful for... my husband. He's the best ...
From the kitchen... I am loving our open concept kitchen/dining room/living room. We spend so much time at the bar in the kitchen with the boys. Lots of memories will happen there.
I am wearing... some comfy pants today. Love that!
I am creating... a powerpoint for my project. It's slow going right now.
I am going... to keep plugging at the project (are you getting the point yet?)
I am reading... still reading the Last Lecture.
I am hoping... that this week goes fast so that I can get to my scrappin' weekend!
I am hearing... not much right now.
Around the house... we have a lot of bugs again. Marcus told me that our addition was build on a pig farm. I am starting to believe him!
One of my favorite things... Scrappin! This weekend and next!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Homework ... and my sis, bro-in-law and nephew are coming to visit! HOORAY!
Here is picture thought I am sharing... Um ... I am picture-less for once! I'll hook ya up later this week!

PS ... Logan is selling pickles for his daycare (strange, I know). We are talking pickles in every way possible! If you are remotely interested, send me an email and I'll let you know what they have. choffman@huntington.edu

Freaky Friday

Hello!

I had my last ethics class last night and still made it home in time to watch a classic Office episode all about ethics! TOO FUNNY! I only have my final presentation (a project I've been working on for 8 months now) to present on the 30th and I am done!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray for me!

Ok, I titled this Freaky Friday because I saw a girl at the gas station this morning wearing a wool coat, scarf, hat, jeans ... and flip flops! I do not understand this. Can someone help me out here? How can you be wrapped up like a snow bunny from the ankles up, but somehow think your feet can stay warm enough with just a piece of plastic between the toes? I wish I would have taken a picture with her so that she could have seen how ridiculous it was. Sorry if I've offended any of you and your 'style' but ... really????

Well, this weekend I am going to finalize that project for school and that's about it. Wish me luck!
Have a great weekend,
Carrie

Pizza Making!

We made homemade pizzas last night. Logan did the pep and sausage and Aiden did the pep and mushroom one. You can see that a lot of taste testing of the toppings happened, but a lot of fun went down too. The pizzas turned out great and the boys were very proud of them. It was a great night.

FOR TODAY Monday, October 6, 2008
Outside My Window... I just watched three fighter jets fly over head. I don't know why, but this always gives me a lump in my throat. I guess because I know that those pilots have probably been overseas recently and, we'll, you know the rest.

I am thinking... about getting my final project for school done by the 16th. A little stressed about it, but not overly concerned yet. Check back next week!

I am thankful for... the weekend we just had. I spent Friday and Saturday with my mom and Sunday with Marcus and his family. It was a nice weekend all around.

From the kitchen... I burnt a grilled cheese sandwich last week and I think the smell is still lingering. It was so bad that the dog wouldn't even eat it!

I am wearing... my wedding bands. I had them in the shop for a few weeks and felt so lost and naked without them. Sometimes I just stare at them and remember our wedding day and how much these bands mean to me.

I am creating... a mess ... what's new?

I am going... to make homemade pizzas with the boys tonight. We've never done this so I am sure pictures are in store!

I am reading... just started The Last Lecture. I cannot wait to really get into it.

I am hoping... that this week goes better than last.

I am hearing... nothing but the sound of my typing. Lovely.

Around the house... it's beginning to look and feel like fall. The leaves have been changing, the weather is cooler and the kids are wearing sweatshirts. LOVE IT!

One of my favorite things... Crafts. I was at the Apple Fest this weekend and saw so much stuff I would have loved to own!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Homework ...

Here is picture thought I am sharing... Here are the boys with Brody and Alvin enjoying some watermelon a week ago:

Of course it happened to me ... update @ 3:08pm

**Update: I've picked up the truck with no flashing. WHEW! He did give me a coupon that I wasn't expecting ... maybe it pays to be unzipped?

**Posted the pics of my wrecked car below. I am not sure I ever shared them. If you need the entire story on the wrecked car, see this post: http://clhcorner.blogspot.com/2008/08/meeting-neighbors-its-not-just-taking.html

So, I had to take Marcus' truck to get an oil change this morning. Since we had never used them before, the guy was taking my info while sitting at his desk and I was standing giving him the info. Nothing major, right? Well, I just walked back to my office from Napa and realize my fly was undone. YEP! No wonder the guy's 'assistant' stood there the entire time I gave my info. He was probably getting a peep show of my teal panties. My life sometimes ...

I'll be sure to have it zipped when I return for the vehicle.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Carrie
