WOW Wednesday

This edition of WOW Wednesday will be (WithOut Words -- almost)

I am very lucky to be married to a wonderful man who is a great provider. Just take a look at our bountiful harvest...

(P.S. thats a cherry tomato and jalapenos - just thought it was funnier if I let you draw your own conclusions.) Love you, Honey!

An Ode to Grammie...

A picture is worth a thousand words...

...or maybe just two.

We love you, Grammie! Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

When I wasn't looking.

Some things have happened while I wasn't paying attention.

Apparently, my 2 year old has celebrated another birthday without me in the past 7 months. I remember planning a party for her second birthday in November, but how many is one little girl supposed to have in a year? I can't help but shake my head as I hear someone ask her, "And how old are you pretty girl?" to which she responds, "I'm free!" (which is Hailey for three) It's either that or she's trying to give herself away.

At one time or another, I have asked both my girls if they wanted to take gymnastics through the preschool that they currently attend. They both very enthusiastically told me in no uncertain terms -- NO! Periodically, Daddy or I will ask again only to receive the same response --NO! What prompts us to continue to ask is that our 5 year old comes home showing us the gymnastics moves from school. Now, mind you, we have still not enrolled her in the program.

I have never been quite sure where she is getting these moves until a few days ago when speaking with my good friend Mrs. TD. Apparently, my 5 year old has enrolled herself in the program. My girls and Mrs TD's children were attending Art Camp offered at our Church (also the place where my children attend school) When the day's activities were over, Mrs. TD needed to return Maddie to her classroom to finish school for the day. Mrs TD asked Maddie where her class was and Maddie responded saying something like "I'm supposed to be in gymnastics, but I don't feel like going because I'm not very good at it."

She's probably not very good at it because SHE'S NOT ENROLLED and SHE'S NEVER BEEN!!

And all this happened when I wasn't looking...

WOW Wednesday

Okay, I was going to post a commercial I saw on TV that cracked me up, but my friend Euphrony beat me to it...So, here's another one that made me laugh.

Ladies...this one's for you!

This came across in an e-mail from my younger sister. I'll just call it:

You want me to give up WHAT?!

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless woman told me.

"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" I asked. "No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said. "I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."

"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" I asked. "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!"

"Well," I said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight." The homeless Woman was shocked. "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."

I said, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine."

Friday Freebie

I stumbled on a website called Libra and I'm having an absolute blast with it! For the longest time, I have been telling my Hubby that we need to put together all our DVDs in an organized list so we know what we have and keep tabs on who's got which one. So when I found this site, I was excited to see not only can I catalogue my movies, I can even track who's borrowing them.

But wait!! That's not even the cool part. This program saves you from having to sit and type each movie title. Simply flip the DVD over and in the space prompted in your library (you do have to download some software) you input the barcode from the DVD case. Viola! The software pulls all the information you could ever dream of having (title, description, actors, rating, run time, etc...) into one organized place. It's so quick and virtually hassle-free that in a matter of minutes I had a stack of DVDs loaded into my library. I can even allow friends/family to view what is in my library in case they want to borrow one.

There's also good news for you bookworms...it'll track your books the same way. And for those of you music CD collectors who might not be into the iTunes or you "Gamers" this site is for you as well.

Be sure to check out this fun **FREE** organizational tool.

WOW Wednesday

I'll be trying a new post called Wild or Weird Wednesday (WOW Wednesday for short.) This will contain either something interesting that I ran across in daily life (which includes internet surfing) or something I saw on the news. It might just be something that made me say WOW!

Check out this video of something I caught on the news earlier this week. Some people really go above and beyond to save money on gas these days!
