The Versatile Homesteader: August 2011

shoes.... shoes... oh my gosh shoes.

I love shoes. Do I see this as a problem..?... No.
The only problem I have with having so many shoes: No room.
I have shoes coming out of my ears over here people..
I feel as if im abusing them, they are shoved into every nook and cranny.
but, after I abuse them, I tell them I love them, and it makes everything all better. They would never leave me.

Mike didn't understand it at first, but when I explained

" The more shoes, the longer they last, for they will not wear down if I wear a different pair every day"
(ie. i have shoes that i wore from middle school on)

He, has one to two pairs at a time, and wears them (out) everyday. therefore, we have to buy him a new pair every other month..

I have spoken.

Hello! Does anyone out there remember me? Does anyone even try to look at my blog any more? or did you give up cause i've been slacking for 3 months? if you give me one more chance I promise I won't do it again. I don't think the same applies with blogs as cheaters ( "once a cheater, always a cheater")

so you trust me right?

I guess maybe it could be looked at as a good thing, that i haven't blogged in so long.. I could tell you action packed adventure stories of what i've been up to... but they'd be lies.

I think thats why i haven't blogged... i got nothin for ya.

but, after 3 months i've accumulated a couple stories and pictures for you, that hopefully i can doll up to fancy ya'lls interest.

first off, i switched 3 rooms in our house around. completely rotated them, in a clockwise fashion. One being my "office/craft room". Now that they are all three finished (for now).

I now,

#1 am able to sit in a chair, at a desk, out of the "dog licking" danger zone, known as the floor...( Mike tells me its just their way of showing me how much they love me.. but i hate to be licked... in most cases.)

and

#2 I feel i deserve to sit down and blog now that i have finished alot of my projects around here.

who says you can't reward yourself, even for the smallest things? I always do. why should only children get rewarded when they use the toilet?

When i drive the two hour drive from Roosevelt to Grantsville, I reward my self with Casa Del Rey for not peeing my pants on the way.. it's almost impossible for me to drive that far without having to stop or being on the verge the whole time.

so here is a brief about what else has gone down

* I wake boarded for the first time

* Mike had to go to the ER after pulling his stomach wake boarding

* We had to pay $500 after the ER just gave Mike a shot and a couple pain pills

* We got New couches!

* We got Cable

*Remi went missing after he jumped out of our huge truck going 60mph.

* Remi returned almost exactly 2 weeks later with only a scratch on his bum.

* I bought a dress that looks like a sweet 50's apron/dress and i like to put my hair in a bun and clean.

* I decided to go back to school. Culinary Arts, to be exact

* My Bestie and I booked a flight to South Carolina to see our Mom

* We are going to Long Beach, Ca for Thanksgiving with the whole Howard family to see the Buberts!!! Then Mike and I are driving to Tehachapi to see his family!! Double BingO!

well folks.. thats all for now, Mike just got home from work, and because of you i didn't have dinner ready... 15 lashings are in store for me.

i kid.
