Belated pictures…PW book signing

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Wanted to post these pics up earlier but Flickr was not cooperating with me on my PC at home.  Had to wait till today.

After the 5 plus hours of waiting at PW’s book signing, here’s the proof.  I finally have PW’s autograph.  Just too sweet! :)

My fav flower out on the yard, but DB hates it with a passion.

Yup, it’s the most pain in the ass weed, dandelions. I find them pretty coz I had no idea they were weeds. I remember when I was a kid, I would pick those flowers. Not till I came here, I was told by my dear “gardener”, this dandelions are the toughest to get rid off.

That’s our backyard or more like a moon surface – patchy grass all over.

Crabapple tree flowers, love them each spring.

Here’s is a better view of the patchy backyard with the two limpy boys, Ranger and Chase, chilling

And, finally, the youngest but has to be first all the time.  He sits funny.  When he gets ready to sit, he will put all his weight on his front legs, the hind legs are just like a gymnast doing a hand stand, hind legs hanging in the air, straight out.

It snowed the whole day yesterday from morning through late evening.  I was out for a walk with the three boys, the snow was quite light and temps was 23 degrees, a frigging heat wave.  On my my out to my part time job, it started to snow heavier and the roads were a mess.  Can’t go fast either.  When I got to my driveway after work, I had to maneuver to get to the garage.  Front wheel drive sucks in snow.  There was at least 5 inches of snow on the driveway.  I didn’t shovel the snow either coz the temp dropped to 6 degrees.  Plus DB said he will get her done when he gets home from work.  He didn’t do it coz he got home at 9:45 p.m. and he was beat and the wind was gusty too.

This morning, DB went to work at 4:00 am and I was still sleeping.  Beat myself up for getting up late this morning (7 am).  Had to checked the pics in Facebook coz yesterday was the anniversary luncheon meet with the girls , from my school, Main Convent,graduatedin 1988.  Had enough filled of pics, then vacuumed.  It’s been a long while since I vacuumed.  Dang, my back hurts!  Anyways, that’s good, it’s a form of exercise for me.

I waited till the sun was high then I went out to do the outside chores coz the temp went up to 2 degrees.  The temp this morning when I got up was -12 degrees. Out to the driveway to shovel the driveway so I can get out and come back in after my grocery shopping.

The compacted snow from the tires is what I hate most.  I showeled all the way almost to the end of the driveway, the neighbor directly across the street got his snow blower, cleared the end of his driveway and then he came and did mine.  My intentions was just shovel my side of the driveway and leave the rest for DB to clear it when he gets home.  But the neighbor did the entire driveway for me.  Bless him.  I felt sheepish having him to clear the driveway for me, but DB says the neighbor might have felt bad himself seeing me shoveling the snow instead of using the snow blower.  We do have a snow blower, but I never know how to operate it coz it is so darn heavy.

And this was the patio. I have to clear the white crap coz if not, the boys will drag them into the house. Hate it!  That is Chase in the picture with stick.

And this is me after being in the cold for a couple of hours.  Ice were forming on my eyelashes, time to get inside.

The boys, without a care. Give them a stick, they can be out in the snow the entire day.

Photohunt: Wrinkled

PhotoHunters

This week’s  got me wondering, looking all over the house, closet, office and the car and finally something struck my melon.  There’s always a piece of a wrinkled item in the linen drawer.  Yes, the bedsheets.  Once they come out from the dryer, they are folded and go straight into the drawer and when it’s time to change new sheets, this is what the sheet looks like and no, I don’t iron my sheets.  I’m that lazy.

This week’s Photohunt theme is Colorful.   Here is the picture of the colorful crystal flowers found on the lobby ceiling of the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas.  Not very good pictures of them but at least I got them for memory sake.
