The song above...is wonderful....check it out
Hope everyone had a good weekend, it went by way too fast in my opinion. Saturday we headed out about 5pm and went to eat at Beef O Brady's and then headed out to my best friends house for the UFC fight...we had a great time...and got home around 1am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunday we got up around 9am...sat around awhile and decided we needed to get our butts off the couch and do something..and not waste the day away...so we went and had lunch at Bob Evans(we had never been there) it wasn't too bad...then we went to Walmart to try to find some patio chairs....cause the cushions in our old chairs were ruined...and cushions are $30 each or more....so we said the heck with that you can buy brand new chairs that don't need cushions for that....they were $25 at walmart...which I thought was a bit much...so we went to Lowes and found them for $19...a little better....so we got 4 new patio chairs...then we came home and put together our new swing that Jeff got me for mothers day from Beau(we decided that would be our mothers day/fathers day gift together)...since it was a big purchase...and it was from our furbaby...lol We also put together our FirePit we got last month....we just finally had time to get it all together...I LOVE the swing...we sat outside last night till 10pm..and didn't want to come in then, but we knew we had to get up early for work....it had finally cooled down quite a bit, earlier in the day it was 98 degrees!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need to take some pics to share of our patio...it's nothing fancy by any means...but to finally have a place to sit out there is just wonderful to us...we haven't had chairs for 2yrs...lol We have the firepit on the patio right now....but plan on making a firepit area out back where the pool use to be....we might lay some stones down and landscape back there...we already have electricty ran back there, so at least we can take a radio out there and relax by the fire at night...I can't wait to roast hotdogs and marshmellows on it....so much fun! We may as well pitch a tent while we're at it...haha!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of pool...have i told ya'll how much i freakin miss ours...especially in this damn humidity!!!! I might buy a kiddie pool one of the long ones just to lay in to cool off...haha! We gave ours away last year...we had it for 3 summers...it was a pretty good size pool 24x52....but was just so expensive to maintain...it needed a new liner...and more than likely a new pump before this summer...which would have been $600+ for both ...I would say...so Jeffs best friend took it....we said they could have it if they took it down themselves...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been doing laundry tonight...I really need to do my dishes...but i'm feeling rather lazy right now....this heat just sucks the life out of ya! Is it just me or is laundry and dishes a neverending chore...UGH! Those are the two things I hate doing the most...dishes especially....I need a dishwasher....for two people we sure have alot of dishes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nashville Star starts tonight on NBC...I might try to watch it this season, the past seasons I might have caught an episode here or there...but ya never know this could be like my "Summer" Americal Idol...lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My best friends little girl Macie is 2yrs old...and talks clear as a bell..and is the cutest thang...anyways her new thing to say is "I have no idea" and she throws her hands in the air when she says it...it is hilarious! She just talks and talks...and she knows when she says something cute, that we will all laugh at ...cause she will laugh right along with us...she's a little doll! Her older sister is 7...and gets so jealous of the 2yr old...cause she just doesn't understand why everyone(company) seems to give Macie so much more attention...her mama told her...it's only because Macie is at a cute stage at this age...and we were all oohhhing and ahhhing over her at that age too...lol I was able to be in the room when both of the girls were born, I think my BF mainly wanted me in there to sort of experience birth....by being by her side , knowing that I may never have any of my own...it meant the world to me...and those little girls will always hold a special place in my heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I guess I'm gonna go for now, I will catch up on journals eventually...
Until next time...
*Thanks to Donna(This that and hockey) for my oh so cute graphic...her link is in my sidebar..check it out...you won't be sorry =)
No Nasheville Star for us since the Bachelorette and the Mole are on tonight. If you buy that kiddie pool I want to see pictures if you are soaking in it. LOL Have a good week.

A full weekend was had by all...but sounds like great fun
ReplyDeleteAs Always Peace
Man, you have been busy! Can't wait to see the pictures of the swing and new chairs, fire pit.......and it will be even better come Fall~
ReplyDeleteAngel
That was sweet about the births of your friend's children. Is there some reason why you haven't had children of your own? If that is too nosey please disregard that question. I love the graphic that Donna made . . . I have one of my own. Have a happy week.
ReplyDeleteAllison

That song is beautiful. It made me cry.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are not the only one who wants a kiddlie pool! LOL I have a 3 foot pool stored at my parents that is 1/2 mine. Im halfway tempted to rent a U Haul because they are not using it, but like you siad it so expensive to maintain. The kiddie one would be cool. Fresh cold water. HAHA my husband thinks Im nuts but I dont care. I have a fence so no one can see LOL
Laundry yuk........you just reminded me I have to do it.

Mom
Hey Terri! I agree with you that your mom does have a way with hers. I jsut came from her journal , reading about jacob. You also are a good writer just like your mom !
ReplyDeleteI sit out on my little portch and enjoy the sky too. I have to leave the door open if i want to hear anything. but most of the time i just like to listen to the breeze and watch the trees sway. lol { ole fogey here}
You know I was thinking of buying mae mae a pool but the one we had last year ran my water bill up to much. And it was always getting holes in it. They threw it away this year. That thing cost over a hundred dollars! So i will just have to take her to where she can swim and save myself the trouble lol
i could not survive without my pool!!

enjoy the fire pit , i have one and it is great
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy girl. Your graphic is so cute. Your baby Beau will do for now but I will snatch him and get him all the way to good old Nebraska. lol You know Terri having a child would really tie you down, but if it happened , you would forget the concerts and all. You never know what the future holds. Granny Lucy
ReplyDeleteNashville Star STARTED????? CRAP! Heading for the Dvr RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeleteKelly
I love roasting over the fire :) good times.
ReplyDeleteI would love a patio...I didn't think I'd miss having one this much. Our grass out back sucks from walking on it. I'm thinking of getting Chris a hammock for father's day ..lol, I'm trying to encourage more outside time ;)
I hate laundry and dishes too....well mainly the folding the laundry and washing the dishes part ;) it never ends!!
Macie sounds so cute! Pey gets jealous too, we tell her the same thing...he'll grow out of the attention getting phase too ;)
Have a good one girly~

I'm thinking of buying a kiddie pool to share with keely too. LOL. My mom cleaned her pool out, but it got swampy looking for some odd reason, so it's in desperate need of cleaning again b4 we can swim again. :( It's sooooooooooo hot out!
ReplyDeleteaww Macie sounds so darling.. kids say the cutest things!! I watched Nashville Star on Monday, I liked it!!! I think I like it better than AI.
ReplyDeleteLove all your new patio stuff... looks like you have a very nice area for relaxing!
