guess what makes a perfect hole in a man's finger...give up? a nail shot from a nail gun does. perfect circle that hole is.

it is amazing how much a carrot in front of one's nose can be a great motivater even when it is a rotten one! ps...still no computer. :(

happy bday to the sweetest baby girl a mom could ever ask for ! stephie-poo! (7/10)

what is more painful - a 7 1/2 mile hike or no computer ? no computer. no doubt about it. missing everyone!

hope to be back soon. my 7month old lap top bit the dust last night. check back in a week or 2

the title says it all

at 5:24 this morning i woke up to something soft and fuzzy on my arm. thinking it was my hubby sweetly telling me good morning i opened my eyes and smiled and turned to tell him the same, of course i was confused as to why he was awake 12 minutes before the alarm was due to sound off.

suddenly i realize the hubs, he is still sawing logs, the cat is standing on me batting at my arm and making a strange sound.

next thing i know i am screaming and jumping straight up off the bed in record speed for any day, but this morning my body was not planning on moving with any speed at all due to aching muscles since the kids and i had started back up on our daily 3 mile hikes.

the soft and fuzzy i felt on my arm that woke me up was a mouse. a gift from moan-uh our cat.

this cat is devoted to me. i am lucky to have the honor of her love. rarely do i ever go to the bathroom by myself. on days when the kids are not home she goes where i go. patiently waiting for me to finish up whatever it is i am doing to give her a bit of attention. once i am up for the morning she quickly climbs onto my side of the bed and lays her head on my pillow.

moan-uh and i talk to each other quite often. i know exactly what each purr and meow means. every morning
