Weird Photos

I was going through old photos yesterday and I came across this set of my son at the age of 4. All the photos were fine except for two of these. Since it's halloween I thought I would post them and see what other people think of them. I took the pictures with a 110 camera. It's probably just bad film but I thought it looked weird.


This picture is like all the others in that film roll.




Now look close at this one, It was from that roll of film but you can make out a light. Look near his leg.




This pic is a little more clear but from the same roll of film.

Like I said it was probably the film itself but these are the only 2 photos that did that. Allthe others look the the first picture. No other signs if light or anything.
Let me know what you think.

8 People Who Should Do This Meme

Well , I don't have 8 people to tag, but I would like to tag Sindi of Life is a Rollercoaster
and Stacy of My Thoughts. Have a great week all.

Pirate Pumpkin

I carved our pumpkin for this year. My hubby wanted me to use my creativeness for the task. He basically challened me so I took the challenge. I went online to find a pattern to print for the design and I liked the pirate. So this is how my pumpkin turned out. Our kids love it.

You Were Born Under:

You are solid, methodical, and you do things right the first time. Even when no one else does, you always believe in yourself. You tend to see the world in black and white, right or wrong. A good memory and eye for details means you tend to thrive at near impossible tasks. You are most compatible with a Snake or Rooster.

What Year Were You Born Under?

Dinner Party Meme:)

I saw this meme on Sindi's blog and I decided to give my imagination a work out to to do this.

The rules as set out by Graham (the originator of this meme) are as follows:-

The idea is to work your way through the eight phases of the dinner party, answering all of the questions on the way - being as honest and creative as you wish. Once your homework has been completed, please nominate any blogger who's "virtual" dinner party you would love to hear about.


1) The Dinner Party Theme: You have decided to hold a dinner party. When writing the invites you clearly state that fancy dress must be worn. Assuming that cost is no issue, who or what would you dress up as, and why?

My dinner party theme would be based around the R.M.S. Titanic, so my dress would be a replica dress from 1912 as worn by the rich on the ship. It would be made of pink silk satin with much black, silver and gold metallic lame lace. I have always been fascinated by the history of the R.M.S. Titanic, especially after I found out my great grandfather got drunk one night and sold their tickets for the ship.






2) The Invitations: This dinner party is for 6 people (including yourself), you are allowed to invite any 5 other people (either past, present, real or fictional), who would you invite and why?

1. Robin Williams---> I've always wanted to meet him.


2. Johnny Depp---> I've liked him since his TV show "21 Jump Street"


3.Julian Mcmahon----> I just think he is sexy.


4. My hubby Randy----> Because I love him with all my heart & soul and he makes me laugh.


5.Casper the Friendly Ghost----> He's so cute and my nickname in high school






3) The Starter: You are preparing the menu, which dish(es) would you choose as the starter, and why?


Well I would want to do dinner similar to the R.M.S. Titanic, so I would start with an Hors D' Oeuvre like Oysters Mignonette and a soup like Cream of Barley.


4) The Main Course: Okay, now for the main course? and what drink would you serve with it?



The main course would consist of Filet Mignon with Creamy Merlot Sauce; an Asparagus & Spinach Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette, and a Chicken Liver, Apple & Mushroom pate'. I would serve coffee and a soft red wine for the drink.



5) The Sweet: Finally, the sweet. Which would you choose, and why?


For the sweet I would serve Sorbet A l'Orange, Peach Mousse and Eclairs. I would want a choice to serve to my guests as authentic as the R.M.S. Titanic meals and desserts.



6) The Entertainment: The dinner party has gone swimmingly, everybody has had fun, conversation and drinks have been flowing all evening. At the end of the meal you announce that everybody should perform their 'party piece' (no matter how strange or pointless). What party piece would you perform?


I would have my guests retreat to another room for coffee and cordials and play Charades.



7) The End Of The Evening: The party is over, everybody has gone home, the house suddenly feels empty and quiet. Your eyes fix on the hi-fi in the corner of the room. You search though your CD collection to put on some music as you want to listen to one more track before you retire to bed. Which track would you play?


I would play "Forever" by Kiss because that is mine & my hubby Randy's wedding Song.


8) The Dinner Party Nightmares: Okay, so the "virtual" dinner party is over. Now for the real thing. Have you ever been to or hosted a dinner party during which something has gone wrong (either with the food, a guest or something else)?


We never really have any issues at our parties. The only thing I can think of is my dad's 4th ex-wife, she always pouted,whined, and complained about something at all the parties.


I have decided not to tag anyone for this meme. I did it just to have some fun and use my imagination. I feel others should be let with that option also. I had a blast with this meme and I hope you do too.:)

Thanks Sindi!!! :)

I would like to Thank Sindi of Life is a Rollercoaster, for sharing her awards with me.










I would like to share my award with Choc Mint Girl.

5 Dreams Meme

I was tagged by Choc Mint Girl I've never done a meme before so here is my best shot.
The rules are as follows:-'Write five things you want to be when you grow up. Big dreams that seem like folly, but in your heart of hearts are very real and dear to you. Things that maybe you have forgotten about in the ebb and flow and toil of the everyday, but that never really leave your soul. What you would do if anything was possible?Spend some time day dreaming…and then post them on your blog, passing the idea along to 5 others...because sometimes we need to pause and remember our dreams. Maybe just saying them out loud will help you discover little ways you can make them happen. You can write about that, too.'I don’t know if I’m breaking the rules, but these are the 5 things that I ‘wanted’ when I was young…

1. I use to love the movie Space Camp (actually I still like it) but I use to want to be an astronaut. I told my mom about this dream not to long after the shuttle Challenger exploded. It scared her so bad, Then I remembered I'm scared of heights lol. The farthest I got with that dream was I started a club at my Junior High School for Young Astronauts.

2. I also use to want to write childrens books or mystery books. My favorite author growing up was R.L. Stine The Fear Street Series.

3. I use to dream of being a choreographer. I loved to dance, I'm just good enough at it...

4. I also wanted to be an artist, I love to draw cartoon like stuff. but I can never get to paper waht I'm thinking. I do better looking at other stuff & trying to copy it.

5. My biggest dream was to be a mother. I'm actually living that one. I have the million dollar family. A husband I love dearly , one son, and one daughter who I love more than anything else.

I would love to tag : Stacy , don't really have anyone to tag yet I'm new to this and hoping to get better.

New Pledge Of Allegiance

WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. Old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :

New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !

Since the Pledge of Allegiance
And
The Lord's Prayer
Are not allowed in most Public schools anymore
Because the word 'God' is mentioned....
A kid in Arizona wrote the attached

NEW School prayer :

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen


I seen this online and I just totally agree with what it has to say. These things need to change.

Date night

Well Friday night my hubby took me out to celebrate my birthday. I took the kids to the sitter's for the night, then i came back home to pick him up. (he took a nap since he had gotten up at 4 in the morning for work. ) After he got dressed we took off to go eat supper. He took me to the Real Hacienda. The food was okay, but I don't think I would go there again anytime soon. After we ate we went to the mall to walk around for a bit. He ended up getting a new pair of tennis shoes (he needed them real bad). And he got me a manicure kit. We walked around the mall for a while then he took me out to a club. He bought me roses. We just sat and talked and listened to the music, But I had a blast.

Mayonnaise Jar and Wine

My father-in-law forwarded me this email. I just loved what it had to say and it is so True. I just had to share it.



When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a
day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 glasses of wine...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of
him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the
students if the jar was full. They
agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the
golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else He asked once more if the jar was
full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and
poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space
between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you To
recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
important things; your family, your children, your health, your friends, and
your favorite passions; things that if everything else was lost and only
they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and
your car.

The sand is everything else; the small stuff.

If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for
the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your
time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things
that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to
your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time
to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first;
the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no
matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of
glasses of wine with a friend."

Just rambling...

Well not a lot has happened in the last couple days. I attempted to make my mom's potato soup. It wasn't as good as hers but I think I got close. I got a birthday present from Coolaid and my in laws gave me $20.00, My hubby got me perfume which I asked for and he is going to take me out Friday night to celebrate. The perfume was Lady Stetson and Chantilly.


My kids just wished me a happy birthday and a lot of my online friends sent me some kind pic that said Happy Birthday. My hubby also took us out to dinner, over all my day wasn't bad.

Today while I was doing the dishes my daughter(3 years old this past Sunday) came into the kitchen saying "mommy, mommy" , I looked at her and said "what?" then she said "I love you so much!", I replied the same about to cry. She is so sweet and lovable. It really made my day.

I'm finally slowly getting housework done after being in a cast for the last 6 weeks. (I broke my right wrist) My wrist still hurts but I'm doing my physical therapy for that, but the fact that I can now do housework and try to get this house caught up is something for me. Well sorry my rambling seems to be in all directions but I just had to get this down. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Busy Weekend

Well we had a busy weekend. Friday I got my cast off and start physical therapy on Monday. I'll have to go 3 times a week for the next four weeks. Saturday we went to the Covered Bridge festival. Well Bridgeton to be exact. Gage got a magic trick, all of us got socks, Faith got a stuffed puppy from the build a bear section. We ate homemade ice cream and while walking around the festival we seen a volkwagon painted just like Herbie.So I gave my son the camera took take a picture of it.



On our way home we went to a couple of yard sales. I got sis 3 pairs of jeans and a turtle neck shirt for a $1.00. I then stopped at Wal~Mart to get food for sis' birthday party and food for supper. Later in the day I took sis to Toys R Us for her birthday. I got her the game candyland, My little ponies, and a Lazytown Dressup like Stephanie kit. They gave her a crown and a birthday balloon.


On Sunday we had sis' birthday party. She is offically 3 now. She seemed to have a blast. She picked out a Dora birthday cake. She got several presents. and posed for several pictures. She really loved her new game, her boots, Dora lamp, and other toys. My friend Sindi got hera halloween movie and 2 barbie dolls, Grandma & grandpa got her a new teddy bear and $20.00, and mommy & daddy gave her $5.00.




We ate ham salad, tuna salad, potato salad, BBQ chips, cake and ice cream. Everyone left but I let 2 of the kids spend the night. One of Gage's friends Adam and Faith wanted Beth to spend the night. I'm so glad this weekend is over but we had a lot of fun.

What Should You Be For Halloween?

my silly daughter

My silly little girl got ahold of my digi cam and wanted to take some pictures. We let her. Here's how she did. She took all of these pics herself. Not bad for a 3 year old.

You Are 66% Perfectionist

You are a true perfectionist. You are both demanding of yourself and others. While it's great to have goals and standards, they don't need to be sky high!

Are You a Perfectionist?

You Are Apple Cider

Smooth and comforting. But downright nasty when cold.

What Part of Fall Are You?

Long day

Well today I had to take my son to Indianapolis to see his kidney doctor. The visit wasn't to bad at all. He had to leave a urine sample and have blood tests done. He actually didn't fight on the blood draw this time. The doctor decided to wait and see how he does because his other blood test was good. She wants to see him again in 4 months. I hate to make that drive since its an hour and a half away for only an hour visit, so I decided that since the kids were good I would try to find Chuck E Cheese to eat lunch. I got directions but I still managed to get lost, Luckily I'm learning my way around over there. I finally found a road I recognized and took it, unfortunately I went east instead of west. I stopped at a Speedway for gas and a drink and asked for directions again. Well come to find out I passed the pizza place by 10 minutes. So I headed back the other way and finally found it. The kids had a blast. Sis really enjoyed meeting Chucky.

The kids ate pizza and played. It was fun to watch both of them winning tickets for prizes and watching sis talk to the animatronic band.


Then when we left there we went to Ron's Halloween store. We just looked around and the store employee let me take a couple of pictures of the store so I could show my hubby. They have some awesome displays in there.

This is just one display. The others are kind of gross. We finally left there and got White Castle to take home. We finally got back in town around 5:30pm, we left at 8:30 am. It was a long day but we all had fun. On our way back we noticed this cloud in the sky. it looked like rain but it didn't rain at all. Have a great day all.
