This little piggy said...

My granny is getting new carpet next week so I went to help her pack her "doo dads" up now I know ya'll all know what doo dads are right, dust collectors for the men folk. Well anyways she has plenty of them I mean she still has stuff from when my dad was young. Getting to the pig that she gave me now these three little pigs have been sitting beside her bathroom as long as I can remember. Today she told me she sold candy to get one for each of her kids. My aunt has hers but one of the other three belongs to my dad. And she didn't think he would care for a pig so she gave it to me. I have always loved those pigs since I was a little girl. So here is my prized pig!



Isn't he the cutest! For a fifty year old pig he looking mighty good don't you think!

~Oh I boo-ed a bunch of people yesterday you might want to look at your comments to see if you missed it~

Have a great day!

Boo-ed and pumpkin carving

I have been boo-ed by April and if you are here because I boo-ed you just follow the directions below. Have fun! Now, this is how the Blogging Boo will work. Go to as many friends as you want and tell them they've been "Boo-ed". Have them link back to your blog to pick up their Halloween Treat (picture) and tell them to "Boo" their friends. Then, put the picture in your side bar so everyone knows that you've already been "Boo-ed" and to send the pic to someone else. So, are you scared yet!!?? BOO!! Thanks April!
On Saturday after the game Noah and I carved a couple of pumpkins


I look really mad at this poor pumpkin Excuse me while I text Brinsley and tell her she is missing all the fun!As you can see Caleigh is doing well They turned out pretty darn cuteNow I am off to boo some people~ I just heard we are under a freeze warning tonight I better get my plants in aaarrrggg!

My mountain trip!

On Friday Johnny found out that he did not have to work on Saturday. Yea! So we decided that we are going to the mountains just the two of us which never happens. Noah was going to Carawinds with the band and Brinsley is never here on the weekends she was going to see a movie. So we get in the car innocently thinking wow I can't wait to go to Helen, GA its a quaint Germany town in Northeast GA with funnel cakes, lunch by the river, and cute little stores everywhere.
Riding down the road enjoying the sightsWe stopped at Tallulah Gorge the sun was in my face as you can seeHere is the Gorge I was standing on a deck look outSo we go on our merry little way if you have been to Helen you know when you see this you are almost there.Its an Indian mound well that is as close to Helen as we got because what month is this yes October and in Helen they have October fest there were cars backed up probably about five miles. So we did a u-turn grabbed a bite to eat, visited a outlet mall and got home in time to catch the last half of the GA game. All was not lost because look at the great things I found at the outlet store. See the price 3.39

And this cute thing was 75% off he only cost 4.00 great deals huh!Have a great night I am off to watch Heroes!

Rubber Ducks and such...

I don't know if ya'll remember a couple of post back with the blue rubber duck in my car, well let me explain. I am drawn to anything cute and if its pink and cute I am in trouble. When my kids were younger I had an excuse to get things out of the bubble gum machine, buy Hello Kitty anything, rubber ducks and such...well now I have no excuses but I still get things out of the bubble gum machine, buy Hello Kitty stuff and have a collection of rubber ducks (see the little ones they are from the bubble gum machine at the Dollar Tree)






And a Hello Kitty toaster (from Johnny)and of course you have to have a Hello Kitty Toaster oven (from my sister)now you know I could not resist a Hello Kitty calendarI have a cuteness sickness, weird combination of words but it is so true. Do any of you share in my sickness?


Oh if anyone that knows me in person and is going to Target pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssseeeee get me a pair of Hello Kitty socks! (I am not lazy because I would love to go to Target myself but we don't have one here, the way its going its will be a long time before I will be able to go out of town.)

Update on Caleigh

Caleigh is about the same she is swollen around her mouth and nose! She is not eating but she acts like she wants to, if she doesn't eat by the morning we have formula to feed her. Right now she is in her basket asleep purring!

Thanks for all the concern!

I am very upset


This morning Johnny was stacking some firewood and Caleigh our cat (that is alittle crazy) was running in and out of Johnny's legs like Kitty's do, well Johnny threw a piece of wood down. Caleigh went to attack it and it hit her in the head. Her nose was bleeding and now she is just laying in a basket. She will let me pick her up and is purring but that's it. She is normally a very active little thing. I called the vet's office he is out of town his assistance said to just watch her. Okay what am I watching for! I hope she is going to be okay Johnny feels awful now he is at work until 10 o'clock tonight!


Sorry I haven't been around the last couple of days all I have to say is our Internet provider sucks! I have got alot of catching up to do. Have a great day!
BTW go to Darlene's Day for her 100th post giveaway! Also Ruth Ann is having a Halloween give away!

What are you hooked on?

Julia is hosting a blog party on "what are you hooked on" well girls I am so hooked on coca cola it is not even funny if I don't drink at least two a day I have terrible headaches. I know ya'll thinking two a day it was worse I have cut back trust me!

And Tam you were so right it was from New Moon you go girl. I am so hooked on these books I am just now starting the third one. I can't wait to see the movie.And for anyone that ask about the spider I made a bunch of them last year its so easy just get some plastic spiders and kinda paint them with glue, sprinkle with glitter, and let dry. Aren't they just great! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Right now I am off to try to figure out how to entertain a 12 year old who is bored and can't go outside because its raining!

A tag and a few random things!


I was tagged by April at Straight from the Heart go check her out she is super sweet and has the cutest blog. Here are the rules:

Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal/blog along with these instructions. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. Tag five other people to do the same. I swear this was the book closest too me!



"So you'll come over when I'm home, though, right?" I hated that I felt suddenly unsure about this.

"If you want me to."

"I always want you," I reminded him, with perhaps a little more intensity than the converation required.

I expected he would laugh, or smile, or react somehow to my words.

"All right, then," he said indifferently.



Can anyone guess the book?



I will tell tomorrow! Thanks for all the nice comments on the pumpkins made from books. And trust me I love books to death I still have all my books from when I was little the books I used were awful and so cheap I was covered in ink by the time I was done. If anyone wants to make one just start folding with the cover toward the spine thicker books work better.

Oh, go check out Ms. Sandy Toes 100th post give away she has some great things to give away! And just in case you were wondering I finally updated my blog list!

Hair dark me no likie but it will lighten up some (and it actually looks better than in the picture b/c I really did not fix it or anything).I am off to excerise I have decide that I need to get into shape. What are your tips on that?

Happy Columbus Day!
