That Time of Year Again....

For Soccer

Brett plays Mondays and Saturdays. Brandon plays Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Games are on Saturdays... Brandons team is called the Skyhawks and I have yet to find out Bretts team name... Today I took the boys to Dicks to pick out a soccer ball and then we found a cool soccer goal net and of course shoes... I will post some pic's of their first game, which is next Saturday...

update: You know you have really good kids when they don’t complain about the burnt grilled cheese and spilt pea green soup they had for dinner last night. Instead they had fun blowing on the soup because it was too hot, which made the little green peas fly across the table… :-) Between the laughs and giggles the managed to eat a few bites, while I nearly gagged.

Brandon had a good soccer practice last night… and while he practiced Brett and I played hopscotch, 4 squares and kick back --- Ohhh childhood memories

We got home around 8pm and they took showers and did their homework... After that they managed to eat two bowls of cereal haha...

I did manage to take 1 video, but it pretty much takes up all the memory so I will be increasing this soon. It’s a must for the Professional Bull Rodeo which we have tickets for. More to come on this later…

And yet another update:

Brett had practice tonight due to Monday night being cancelled due to rain... He did a really good job and is pretty aggressive. While he practiced Brandon and I played a little one on one... Which was fun...

Tonight they won't suffer with a rotten meal, hamburgers are on the grill and the fries are in the oven... One more night of practice and then the games will begin...




And another but last update on this post:

I didn't get to take pic's or videos of the game as I said I would... :-(
They both played really good though. Even Brandon, considering all.
Brandon made one goal and Brett made two. I'll try again next week.

Jackie, Brandon, Brett and I will be going to the PBR Friday night.

Tired, can't think, time for bed, so I'll post more about this later on.

Grandmothers & Girls night out...

WOW! I would say that we would all agree that we had a total blast! This was by far the Best Girls Night Out!!! What a "Awesome" turnout :=) Oh boy, we laughed and laughed and laughed.... My gut still hurts from laughing so hard..... "Our" table had the most fun. All these ladies were just a "Hoot".... I think we counted 16 - 18 girls.... They just kept showing up :-) hahahaha ---- This group will be a blast to take to wineries and such :-)

They all want my blogspot... I've decided to create a new site just for "Girls night out" I think 18 Chicks on this site would be too much.... I know I'm already up to 14 and I can't figure them all out--yet... So a knew site will be created for just that.... I'll have a link from here to there once I get it created...

May you all have a safe and a most excellent

Good Friday.

Terri came through with Girls Night Out

On Good Friday we'll be going to Grandmothers for dinner and a little Karaoke. After two, I'll sing my song..... I never promised you a rose garden and then... If I get the courage I'll sing "I have friends in low places" No "pun" intended.

and Happy St. Patrick's Day

Don't forget to wear your "Green" tomorrow. All though I don't plan on going out, I'll still be festive... Tomorrow I shall make the boys eat "Green Eggs and Ham" :-) Like how I said ----"make" :-) We will Whistle and sing Diddle Di Do songs and after they go to bed.... I'll have myself a "Guinness" or two. And sing more Irish Songs... Ring ding diddle diddle i de o Ring di diddle i ooooooooooo and for those who "know me" - you know I can't Whistle :-) So this will be a real challenge, but much fun... Yes, I'm easily amused.... Tomorrow I shall insert a "green" pic of little ol, can't whistle, singing diddle di do songs, guinness drinking fool.... with her weee little lads eating green eggs and ham....

Ok - I'm laughing so hard I'm crying now....

OH I think I've started a "Weee Tad Tooo Early"

At work today the developers, support, training and a few others got a pleasant surprise when we arrived. A true Irishman complimented us with either Guinness, Irish Whiskey, Baileys Irish Creme and much more.... :-)

My new job

I survived my first week at Tigerpaw and so far I have a great feeling. :-)

And once again I find myself with the question... "Oh Where Do I Begin?"

Today I learned how to play "Flip the Quarter" a group of us huddled together and flipped a quarter into the air, then caught it and put it face down on the top of our hand, with the other hand covering the quarter. Once all quarters have been flipped you reveal your quarters. If you have Tails and everyone else has Heads, you win and get to keep all the quarters... Needless to say I lost a quarter today :) HA!

They also have "Office" moments from the TV show series "The Office". I work in a room with 6 guys and then there's me! Today one of them let out a burp - It was only a matter of time... hahaha

OH MY, I'll fit in just fine :-)

The "Webmaster" likes race cars and has "Hot Wheels" with race tracks around the top of the cube walls, which are quite wide.... Needless to say "My Cable Car Train" kicked his cars right off the track... Go Sherrie :-)

Ok, now back to work and Yes I do work. I had fun listening in on Q&A sessions with a live Web Seminar and customer interaction. Soon I get to see a live demo with customer interaction. I'm amazed at what the product does, so much more then just a regular CRM app... So far everyone has been very helpful and making me feel right at home. For that I'm thankful.. My cube may be smaller but that "Doesn't" matter. I really really like my cube... 2 big monitors and how sweet that is. I've been moving around inside CRM and I get it! I've also made some minor report changes which was fun :-)

Harley the dog is still attached to my leg. We have these "scrum" meetings every morning at 9:15am in a hall way. Harley likes to "sniff" me out during this time-frame. Of course underneath my breath, I'm Praying to myself, with my eyes shut... "Please dog, what ever you do, DON'T HUMP MY LEG.... PLEASE" Haha! Oh my! More stories will come about the dogs --- more to be told, which are fun! They love my dog treats and I love them :-)

Here are some pic's and a video... The Fish Tank came from my cell phone, which explains the quality... The video doesn't really do justice, but you get the general idea... And again here's Harley the dog sniffing my leg.... That day is coming, I just know it is :-)

There're actually two dogs in the pic.... Count the legs (not mine) :=)

I almost forgot about the Albino Leopard Gecko. He's pretty cool looking as well...
















Even though this does indeed sound like a really neat place to work and it is.... I do MISS my formal co-workers, friends and have days where I'm sadden :-(

You are missed!!!

March

March is finally here and I'm ready to start my new job. I did get some "Fun stuff" for my new cube.. Of course it's Hoops and Yoyo stuff :-)

I got the Yoyo Liquid Heaven Travel Mug with sound; Hoops & Yoyo dry erase message flip book and a card... All which will bring big smiles, laughs and giggles...

I also got myself some new jeans, shirt's and jewelry and I pampered myself with a mud mask :-) Spoiled myself rotten...

I did stop in at Tigerpaw yesterday to say Hi and to make sure they were ready for me. I got another tour and met more people. And the dogs are still there. Harley pretty much followed me around and was "Attached" to my leg. I think he could smell buddy.... As long as Harley doesn't start "humping" my leg, we'll get along just fine... Trina was pretty much relaxed and just laying around... I figured I'll bring in some dogie treats on my first day...

I thought for sure I got off Free and Clear from BOTW until I got a call on Friday asking If I'd be interested in doing some consulting work. I guess someone (not me) hasn't been showing up to work... Enough said about that.... Still undecided.............

Today it's suppose to get in the upper 50's may even hit 60... Much of the day will be spent outside. And Jackie's coming into town so we'll spend it with her as well...

There are 3 B-Day's this month :=) My niece Courtney, Brett and my sister... I'm planning on having Brett's B-day party at Coco Keys ----- Water resort (video) Much Fun!

What does Brett want for his B-day? Cell phone, Drums, Motorcycle, Electric Guitar, Ben-Ten watch, Bike, WII, PSP and the list goes on... He's one expensive kid...

I'm also planning another "Girls' night out" only this time we won't be going out (or at least I wont).... Since! No-One has picked out a booked for the mentioned "Girls Book Club" I've decided to do this... So Listen up Girls!!!! It will be on a Saturday Night and it will be at my house...

Here's what's on the list:

1. Yummy snacks
2. Wine or BYOD
3. Manicures
4. Pedicures
5. Movie TBD and NO it's not "The Waitress" But I will make a pie..
6. And finally I've picked some really short books for us to consider to read

I'll be getting a hold of each of you or call me and I'll give you more details.... Feel free to invite your friends...

My Mom likes to wrestle with...

Here's an email from my Mom down on the farm... She's been wrestling with the calves again.. Bless her... :-)

Now I have a baby calf to feed. No cow would claim it after 2 days so I got it. I put it in Winky's shed and went to get a bottle. Then when I tried to pull him out of the shed he charged me and got me right in the nose!! My nose started to bleed so I went back in the house to get that stopped. Went back out to feed him and the shit charged me again only this time I was upright so I grabbed his ear throw him up against the fence and straddled him and fed him. Then I put a rope around his front leg and pulled him to Peanuts pen. I have bruises around my eyes. At least I did not break it. Feed him twice today and he likes the bottle now. I told Dale he was going to die the morning he gave him to me, but with an attitude like that he won't. ha ha

We got Lexi back and they did not shoe her. In six weeks a shoe guy will be out to look at her. In the mean time I put salve on her hoof and hope she does not pull up lame. If in 6 weeks if they think she should have shoes it will take a special shoe for that foot.

My puppy is laying in the recliner right now. Been working with him to sit and stay. He stays outside most of the day and I let him in at night.

We have all the cows on cornstalks home and worked. Next week we will go down south and get those and bring them home.

love you mom


Next thing you know... Dale will bring home a Moose or will it be MOM?

Love you too Mom! :-)
