DRIVE INN DATE NIGHT! :)

This was such a cute place I read about in the Frisco Magazine! I wanted to surprise Stephen, but he ruined it by guessing it! :( So we went in to the whole experience without it being a surprise so it kind of took some of the fun out of it! ha-ha

The food WAS GREAT though! We had cheeseburgers, fries, pretzels, and even funnel cakes! The experience was NEW and not bad, but I think it's real important to pick a good weather season to go to a drive in movie. We were really hot, and the speakers were weak next to our car. ha-ha

So... toward the last hour of the movie we watched it in the car with the AIR ON and the FM TUNER cranked up. ha-ha

I think it would also help if the movie was good. We watched Public Enemy, which was not BAD... but not good (horrible ending). ha

Over all it was something we always wanted to try, but we probably wont ever do it again, unless it's close by. This drive inn was in Ennis Texas, about an hour and 23 min. away. ha- ha

The movie started when it got dark and ended around 11:30 and we still had to drive all the way home. I have to say a lot of things went wrong that made this experience a THUNBS DOWN. HA

But.. hey, we still have each other! I'm starting to learn not everything goes the way you THINK IT WILL or WANT IT TO GO! ha - ha

New Car bug.. and not a VW

Well.. last night Stephen nor I didn't get very much sleep! We were up all night changing batteries in CARS!
Yesterday I started my first day in the GRACE COMMUNITY CHURCH CHOIR here in Frisco and I had to be there at 7:45 AM to practice. Stephen and I always go to the 11 oclock service, but since I was singing in the Choir I had to be at BOTH services. Stephen came to the 11 clock service and we decided to leave my car at church so we could go eat lunch and stuff. After lunch we were to FULL & TIRED we decided to go home and take a nap and go get the car later! MAN.. was that STUPID! Finally around 10pm we remembered THE CAR, so we put on our flip flops on and headed out the door!

UGH... you guess it! IT WOULDN'T START! The heat zapped the ENERGY right out the battery! So here it is dark outside and we have to figure out how to get this car back up and running if I want to make any money tomorrow! HA So.. yes thank GOD I have a HANDY MAN HUBBY who was able to get right in there and fix me up again!

Anyway, the only story I learned from this incident was I WANT "need" A NEW CAR! I DESERVE IT! I'm not being a brat.. I'm just simply suggesting what I deserve. I have never owned my own car, and I have never had a car that did not need to be worked on every other month. I'm tired of something always going wrong with my car. THE FIRST thing I'm going to buy when I get my teaching job is a NEW CAR!! END OF DISCUSSION! If you want to knock my idea... please don't COMMENT to this blog! HA

THANKS!

Remember This??

TRIP TO THE MALL...


Ok.. for those that lived the 80's, do you remember THIS? :) Stephen & I went up to the FRISCO MALL today and we spotted a 16 year old wearing her hair like this with a headband! I was like OMG.. I USED to wear my hair like that (when I was 8)!!! ha-ha
When we got back in the car.. I said, Stephen... (as I was pulling my hair up) did you see a girl in the mall with her hair like this? He just laughed and said.. I think?? We saw a bunch of weirdoes in there! ha

Mom went all out this year! :)

For FIRE CRACKER day this year, mom had everyone over for a cookout! She made home-made ice cream while Dad cooked the BEST

HAMB

-URGERS out on the grill!

I decided to make some NAME CARDS

that were a big success at the PARTY! :)

I labeled everyone with a "nick name" along with their real name! For my nicknames, I decided to use a recent activity the person had been involved with. It helped stir up some GREAT conversations! Not that we need it! HA But.. it was fun catching up with everyone! :)Here is an example of the name cards! this was Ashley's... :) ha-ha

NATASHA - Cupcake failure! :( "THEY MELTED"



Stephen's says : "Mr. Helpful get's Poisen Ivy" HA

Mom & Dad... and of course Caleb! :)

J-O-B BLOG update!

Well here she is ladies & Gentlmen, the place I call WORK! TEXAN'S CREDIT UNION!!! Isn't she lovely! :)

Painting with SWEET TEA!

Stephen & I did our last coat of paint on the OFFICE last night! We were so sick of walking by the room and seeing plastic on the floor, blue tape on the wall, and a half finished room staring us in the face! So we put on our HAPPY FACES and BEST ATTITUDES and dug right in!










WE DID AN AMAZING JOB! ha Or.. I think I did better with my attitude this time anyway! :) As for Mr. GRUMPY, not sure?? ha-ha








BUt.. I believe I figured out a secret method to my "BEING DONE" mood! I decided this time when I was finished painting... I would not announce it OUT-LOUD... I would quietly walk out of the room and move onto something else! HA-HA This way I wouldn't have to hear Stephen saying, "WE ARE NOT QUITTER'S and all that jazz! :)













During one break that I took I decided to make some SWEET TEXAS TEA! Sometimes I make it with sweet-n-low and sometimes I make it with straight up SUGAR! stephen says he can always tell, but I never would believe him, because he always watches me make it! So.. this time I decided to make TWO SEPARATE TEA'S and take them to him in the same kind of glasses and see if he could tell the difference? BOY.. could I have kicked my self in the butt! He KNEW RIGHT OFF! ha I figured out I WAS THE ONE THAT COULD NOT TELL, until I looked at the bottom of the glass and saw all the REAL SUGAR sitting at the bottom of the glass! That IS NUTS! ha-ha I guess it's kind of good I can't tell? I'll get skinnier! HA

Poison Ivy what???

The only thing I know about poison Ivy is she was a character in a old Batman movie! I have never had it, or have ever seen it on anyone?? But, it all changed for me yesterday when my poor HUBBY discovered he has it!! Isn't that terrible? I don't like to see him hurt, because it makes me sad for him. :(

But.. I think he is getting a little annoyed at me for treating him like he is DYING! ha ha I just cant help it! I constantly keep checking on him like he's about to fall over dead on me? I keep asking him if he has fever, and if everything is ok??? And most of all... I'm STAYING CLEAR from him like he has a infecting disease. I start to ITCH FOR NO REASON! HA But.. honestly, I didn't know ANYTHING about it?Finally I think it's time for a definition!

What is poison ivy?
Poison ivy is a very common plant found in most parts of the United States. It has two forms. One form grows low to the ground. It is usually found in groups of many plants and looks like weeds growing from 6 to 30 inches high. The other form is a "hairy" vine that grows up a tree. Both have stems with 3 leaves. You may have heard the old saying, "Leaflets three, let it be." This is because most people are allergic to poison ivy.

How does poison ivy cause a rash?
The poison ivy plant contains an oil called urushiol (say: oo-roo-shee-ohl). This oil "bonds" to skin when it comes in contact with it. Most people are allergic to it. If you are allergic to urushiol and you get it on your skin, you'll develop an itchy, red rash. You can get the oil on your skin by:
Touching the poison ivy plant
Touching any clothing, including shoes, that have come in contact with the plant.
Touching any gardening tools that may have the oil on it.
Touching any pets that have been around poison ivy and have gotten the oil on their hair.
Burning the poison ivy plant. The oil from the plant is carried in the smoke.


Anyway.. I think I should of looked this up yesterday, but I think I will just keep my mouth shut and secretly keep an eye on him! After all he is my Partner For LIFE! I love him! :)
