I have a favorite towel. It's HUGE and hot pink and it's well used but it's soft. I got it from my Mommy a Bunch of years ago well before I was ever married.
There's no sentimental value or anything like that. It's just a very large, soft, comfy towel.
When I take a shower I like to have my towel. Then I wash it and put it back in the closet for next time. I love my pink towel.
I love my husband. Sometimes he drives me nuts, of course, but isn't that normal? But, sometimes there are those little things that just make me smile.
Yesterday J got up and took a shower and later he and the Kiddo went to the movies. While they were gone I decided to take a shower.
I opened the closet to get a towel and there was my pink towel, sort of disheveled on the top of the stack of folded towels.
Do you know why it was disheveled? Because when J took his shower he saw that my pink towel was on top of the stack and he grabbed the one underneath it, causing my towel to end up in a ball on top.
I know it's a silly little thing but the fact that he thought about me when he grabbed his towel puts a smile on my face. He knew that the pink one was my favorite and instead of grabbing the towel on top he left it there for me and grabbed the next one.
Love him!

Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty
Most of my life growing up I had a cat. When I say most, I mean most. I got my first cat when I was two and had at least one cat all the way until I got married.
Of course, I would have to meet and marry a guy was is allergic to cats. (Blast you, allergies!!) It was so awful when I had to move without my kitty. The sweetest, most wonderful, kindest kitty I've ever met. (She's NEVER hissed at me, never, not once.)
Well, yesterday we were visiting some stores, running around, trying to accomplish some things on the to do list. After dinner we decided to take the Kiddo to PetCo and let him look around.
We saw fish, lizards, snakes, frogs, birds, hamsters, mice, a guinea pig and ferrets (I was going to combine the last four into "rodents" but I decided to list them out. Gross!)
By the time we had gone all around we had lost J. So, I called him to find out where he was and he said he was at the front of the store with the cat. I didn't know there was a cat! The Kiddo and I made a beeline for the Kitty.
We stood there and played with the Kitty (is that evil?) for a while until we had to leave. In the car J said "I really like that cat."
It was a very sweet Kitty Cat, I wanted it. Then he said HE wanted it! Then I had to do something that was like torture for me (okay, not really but it was still awful). I had to talk him out of getting the sweet, adorable, fuzzy kitty.
"No Baby, we can't get the fuzzy kitty because you'll die." (Not so extrememe but close.) It was awful, I want my Kitty back!!!!

Sneaky, Sneaky
I made gingerbread cookies the other day. I put them all in the cookie bucket and put the cookie bucket in it's usual spot.
The Kiddo would ask for a cookie every now and then and I would often give him one. Not all the time of course, but you know.
Well, I went for a cookie a couple days ago and when I opened up the bucket there were about four cookies left. I had noticed earlier that day that the bucket was looking sparse but didn't think too much about it.
Anyway, I grabbed my cookie and sat down. Then I said to J, "I think the Kiddo's been sneaking cookies while I'm not looking."
J answered, "He has. Everytime you leave he gets one and gives me one."
No wonder my cookies are disappearing.

J's Surgery
Thankfully J's surgery went well.
On Friday morning we got up at 4:30 (UGH! ICK!) in order to leave the house by five in order to get to the hospital that was performing the surgery by seven. My Mother-in-Law drove (Thanks!) and it was a relatively uneventful trip. Except for the giant buck (Six pointer? give or take) that ran across the road in front of us. It's okay though, we missed it/it missed us.
We arrived a shortly before seven and hauled all our stuff (Computers, bag of books and a few toys for Kiddo, purses) into a waiting room and got comfy. I was happy to discover the hospital had wireless internet access.
The only problem at this point was the lack of coffee. I was up at 4:30 (I rarely sleep in the car) and now it's almost seven and I didn't have any coffee. Then we found out the cafeteria didn't open til 7:30. That was upsetting.
Anyway they took J back and told us that he was number four in line so it should be about an hour. TWO hours later they finally took him in for surgery.
The surgery went well and about an hour later I was sitting with him waiting for him to wake up. It took a while for the drugs to wear off and then the pain was severe. I felt so bad for him.
We were finally able to head home around 2:30. J sat in the middle in the back seat with his leg up between the driver and passenger seats. It was kind of amusing.
Right now he's in a massive brace. The doctor said that it is to remain immobilized for 10 - 14 days. (At this point I was half panicked, hoping we don't starve. Thankfully, I know God will take care of us but I still feel slightly anxious.) He's hoping to be able to go back to work before that. He'll just sit and do what he can sitting down. At the moment though he's still in lots of pain and prayers and thoughts are appreciated.

Surgery, Finally!
I am writing this post on Thursday, just to let you know.
As you read we are currently at the Hospital with my J. He is FINALLY having his knee surgery. We've been waiting a very long time for this and are very glad it's happening now.
J injured his knee Years ago while playing sports and has been dealing with it ever since. He's re-injured it a couple times since then. Well, I don't know if it's re-injured as much as greatly aggravated the existing injury.
Today (Friday) he's having Arthroscopic surgery. They will make a Small incision and insert a small telescope like instrument inside. The image is transmitted to a video monitor so that they can see what's going on in there. Then they can perform surgical procedures via small incisions around the knee joint.
We're hoping and praying that it isn't anything major and he'll be back on his feet in very little time. I don't work and if he misses much work we're going to be in some (quite a bit) trouble financially.
So, as you go about your day please send prayers and good thoughts our way as we sit in the waiting room. I'll probably tweet from my phone occasionally.
Oh yea, I'm on Twitter. If you're interested in following me I can be found here.

Wish List
I think I'll share my wish list with you. Actually as I was making this list I kept trying to think of what I wish for and was having some problems. Any other time I would have no problem, but if I'm trying to write them down, I can't think.
1. A Bigger (6.5-7qt.) Slow Cooker. I'm not positive the size of the one I have now but I'm pretty sure it's 3.5-4 qt. Not big enough, I want bigger.
2. I want my own laptop. I'm tired of sharing. lol. I did have my own. then I went on vacation with the Kiddo to see my family and when I came back, Poof! My computer had died. (Don't know what happened.) Currently my husband and I are sharing a laptop. (Don't tell the Kiddo that I don't want to share, okay?)
3. A router so when I get my own laptop (see above) the internet will be accessible from both at the same time. Not too mention when we have company, theirs will work too
4. Cake decorating supplies. I've been decorating cakes as a hobby for a little while now. I will be the first to tell you that I'm not really very good. However, I still want all the toys.
5. A few books. I've read some of these and just liked them so much I want to own them. Others look very intriguing and I want to read!
I would also love Christian Kane's CD whenever it comes out . . . *(Im)patiently waiting*

I don't need all of the Harry Potter books. I already have some of them.
I only put on season 6 of NCIS but I really need them all but the first one.
7. CD's
I would also love Christian Kane's CD whenever it comes out . . . *(Im)patiently waiting* I guess that's that. Now I can only hope that the right people *Cough*J*Cough* read this!

Happy Anniversary to Us!
Today is my anniversary. *Smile*
I hate being broke around the "Celebration Season." (That what I call September - Beginning of October around here.) I wish I could get J something that I know he would love. But for the time being, a card is going to have to do it.
I'm thinking I'll make Spaghetti for dinner (Blech!) because J loves it so much! Apparently the first time I made him spaghetti it was a mistake. He Loves my spaghetti, thinks its out of this world and I think, "Spaghetti, Yuk!"
I realize this is a short post but I just wanted to share my special day. Have a great Thursday everyone!
(Now, lets see if he remembers . . .) :)

It's September!
It's September! It's September! It's September! It's September!
Just in case you didn't know, I thought I would remind you! It's September! I'm so very very excited. Can you tell?
This means that it's just about time (tomorrow too soon?) to get out some Fallish decorations and make it all pretty around here.
This also means that it's the "Celebration Season" around here. Our Anniversary is this month, My Dad's birthday is this month, Kiddo's birthday is this month, J's birthday is this month, Rina is coming this month (this is not an annual thing By Far, but still cause for GREAT celebration!!) and my Mom's birthday is right at the beginning of October.
Whew! I'm tired (and broke) just thinking about it all. Then after all that it's time for Trick-or-Treat and then Christmas and Christmas parties! Yea! *Sings* It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year!!!!!
I wish you a Wonderful Fall season!

Too Good to be True?
Weeks ago J made plans to go to a concert with his uncle, his brother and his brother’s wife. Last night was the night.
I don’t know how many times I asked J if Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law were going to bring their two kiddos with them (ages 3 years and 1 year). He had no answer. What I expected was for Brother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law to bring Niece and Nephew with them and drop them at my house for the night. Joy.
What was actually going to happen was this. Sister-in-Law was working at a weeklong summer camp and had left Niece (3) with my Mother-in-Law and Brother-in-Law was bringing Nephew (1) with him. He was going to take the Nephew with him for the night leaving myself and my kiddo alone for the night.
Too good to be true? Yup! I got a phone call from J who said, “We’re bringing Nephew home to you and then going out.” What?! I didn’t sign up for this. I didn’t even agree to this. It wasn’t even a question. It was just “We are.” Grrrr, Argh!
It’s okay. I’m over it. They brought Nephew and he slept so it wasn’t bad. It’s just the idea of dropping him off and then leaving again and not coming home until . . . 3 AM?

A Day for Me, Revisited
So I had my day yesterday. Well, half a day, had to be home by 1:45ish. My plan was to go see The Ugly Truth and then hopefully get to run to (at least one of the following) Hobby Lobby, Outlaw Video (Used video store), Haircut.
The movie. I should have skipped it and done my other stuff. It didn’t do anything for me. I don’t have anything against the actors (If I did why would have gone to see it?) it just wasn’t my thing. Gerry Butler’s character was really annoying, rarely redeeming and the ending was just a mess. It reminded me of that scene in Kate and Leopold where the test audience is rating the movie. That movie was so cheesy. Well, they could have used the last scene of The Ugly Truth in that movie. (Yes I know Kate and Leopold was made years ago. It’s just a comparison.)
After an hour, alright, twenty minutes of previews, the movie finally started. I kept thinking, is it almost over yet? Oh, Honorable Mention to Craig Ferguson though. He always makes me smile. When the movie finally ended I checked the clock.
I decided not to go to the video store because of distance. Hobby Lobby was the next reasonable choice. I walk in the door, I’m there for three minutes and my phone buzzes. J needs something at Wal*Mart. Now I need to leave Hobby Lobby and head to Wal*Mart. At Wal*Mart I thought I would get my hair cut, checked the clock. Didn’t have the time.
Basically out of everything I wanted to do I got to go to the movies and run in and out of two more stores . . . I think I need a do over . . .

Dinner Dilemma
I don’t usually plan my meals out. I buy the things that I need for a bunch of meals and then decide that day what I’m going to make. Unorganized? Yes! It can be troublesome too. Sometimes it ends up 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I’m still not sure what to make for dinner.
Last night was one of those nights. I pulled open the refrigerator door and was clueless. Opened the cabinets, no ideas there either. Finally I decided I wanted egg noodles. Well, obviously you’re going to need something to go with those noodles. It’s not like you’re only going to have noodles for dinner.
This is when my brain started working and I decided I was going to create something so I could eat those noodles. This was, by no means, a gourmet meal. Just an everyday run of the mill kind of dinner but it was still very good.
I Pulled out the ground turkey and created a stroganoff-esque type meal. Creamy and tasty. J called it “Perfect.” I was happy!
I’m sure that I’ll make it again . . . provided I can remember everything I threw in it this time!
