Yeah I stopped putting the notes on. No reason - just don't feel like it but it's still a song :)
It's still be an interesting month with not much to say. Surprisingly quite uneventful in our immediate life. Yay!! I can only take stupidity so long before my health starts to get effected (Correct effect, Hoss?) Saturday we up to Monroe Saturday for another fun 7 year old b-day party. I don't know what it is but my brothers are treating me like I'm a real person. Not just the kid sister and it's wonderful!
And then it was on to Ruston for some USA soccer!!!! I ♥ soccer. Always have, always will. My best friend got me hooked in 4th grade with whichever World Cup was going on. Still don't understand those silly Americans who think it's stupid because you can tie and it's "low" scoring. Stupid people -- these guys run for 45 minutes straight twice!!! More of an athlete than most of those football players will EVER be.
Anyways. It's been nice lately. No worries about making others happy and how they take things, no serious scares over the jobs (though G just laid off 2 at Hoss's workplace). Just plenty of good times between Hoss and I with our pups and family.
But I'm bored. I'm tired of not having anything to talk about on here. So Hoss, what can I blog about or anyone really. Series ideas?? And yes I know somebody(ies) beside Hoss reads this I check the stats (even have a few ideas as to who cuz I'm smarter than the average bexar!) So someone, ANYBODY FIND ME... something to write about.
Hey Hoss, remember our conversation yesterday about writing. Totally started this with the title and it applied to what I was thinking about saying at the time and it ended up being NOTHING like I thought. Fun times!

♫ just one of those things ♫
It's been a weird kind of week. Nothing really to say lately. You know it's one thing for me to have nothing to blog about but it's been hard lately to even come up with tweets or fb status updates and I've noticed Hoss has had the same problem.
Yep, it's been a weird kind of week.
Don't get me wrong, stuff has been going on but nothing that bares repeating. One of my last blogs talked about music being so important to me but I can't even come up with a song for this blog. Guess it's because the second job's work has finally slowed down so I've slowed down. Now on to housework! (yeah right)
On another ♫ (hehehe, I'm soo clever), it looks like we are finally upgrading. My grandparents are looking to get rid of their king size bed and looks like we are in line to get it! YAY!!! A bed that I don't have to get a running start to leap into and one that's big enough of all 5 of us. Yes, all FIVE. Something I swore would never happen! No pups on the bed lasted all of one month with the Beast. But the usually don't sleep with us because I can't move with them on the bed. And oh man, the mattress is gonna be wonderful! It's soo firm and even has a pillowtop to make Hoss happy.
The bed itself is ok. Not quite my style but it will look wonderful in my room -- the dark iron. And about three sets of bedding, which I know won't be my style but it will be free or relatively free so I won't complain until we have the $$ to replace (Christmas anyone???) Now it's a matter of setting up some men to help load and unload it for us in a timely manner. **Hoping for July 9**
Oh and I hung up a curtain over my front door. It took FOREVER to find the right curtain and it totally went through the door. Our front door is slightly smaller in depth than most so now I get to fix that but I'm gonna wait until it's cooler. And yep I think my black thumb has kicked. Most of my flowers are looking pretty bad -- I've been forgetting to water again. I'll just keep trying.

♫You've created nothing♫
Can you tell I have a love affair with music? Life is a musical might as well find the background music to it.
I hate hate hate crafts. Country chic -- worst design fad EVER! (But the Bath and Body scent is pretty good) There is nothing chic about country arts and crafts, homemade junk. Trust me, it looks cheap. Spray painting something another color -- not really crafts either.
Wood work and metal work, eh, I can handle that more. And a true artist work on canvas or slate or a real medium with a professional frame - neat.
But the junk I've seen lately that people think it "wonderful" -- gag me.
There are true artisans and craftsmen that I can appreciate most work. But the home person, don't bother.
That being said, my mother signed me up for a cake decorating class. **hangs head** I said yes because it could be a mother daughter thing for us and it involves baking and decorating which I can totally handle. Thank God it is only semi-crafty or I would die.
We had the first class Tuesday. It was ok. Saturday was practice day for us though. First time to make a buttercream icing -- yikes! Everything I have ever learned about baking I have apparently forgotten. Cream -- what does cream look like? First batch was not good, but mom looked over my shoulder for the most part on the second and it came out perfectly (I'm a fast learner) so my third it wonderfully. Then it was all about icing my cakes. Eh, I can do without the tip for icing. Just give me the spatula because that's what I'm used to, but I tried the tip. The second and third batches iced so we are good there. Now it all about the stars (first thing we "learned"), so I practiced a few and then told mom to practice! What! She was just watching me. nope scratch that, she was talking on the phone.
So now it's Sunday and back to mom's to really make something with a star tip.
Here are the results of Sunday's practice: which one is mine???
