The End:)

IRRITATION!!!!

In todays story we hear the woefull tale of a sad young woman

This person, my friends cousins sisters pet hampsters sisters grandmas owners aunt-
We'll call her Hanna.
well, it just so happens that *Hanna* lives with one of the most IRRITATING people on the planet-
we'll call him Ugene.
So *Hanna* tries very hard to get along with all of her room mates, but then every so often *Ugene* does something so SELFISH that she just can't keep herself calm!
For instance :
There was once that the roommates went to a hot dog festival, but *Ugene* and *Hanna*'s significant other -
we'll call him Franchesco
Weren't able to come
*croud sighs*
So the roommates were able to bring home 5 polish dogs to be shared between those that couldn't be there and to have as left overs.
The next day *Franchesco* came home from a tiring day of work and was greated with happy thoughts of eating a delishous polish dog! But when *Franchesco* went to the fridge to fetch his polish...There were none to be found!
*croud gasps*
In questioning *Ugene* we found that he had come home from work late the night of the hot dog festival to find the polish dogs, and proceded to eat 3 posish dogs for dinner and 2 for breakfast the next morning, leaving NONE for *Franchesco*.
*croud boo's*

In another recent situation The roommates had a celebratory dinner celebrating a friends engagement-
we'll call her Becky.
For dinner there was delightfull salad and garlic bread and the hostess's AMAZING Lasagna! Unfortunately again *Ugene* and *Franchesco* we not able to be there as they had to work.
*croud sighs*
But after dinner it was guarenteed that there would be plenty of left over to satisfy both boys hunger.
*croud cheers*
The next day *Franchesco* came home once again with a longing for the delightfull Lasagna that awaited him in the fridge! But when looking for it, none could be found!
In questioning *Ugene* we found again that he had consumed ALL of the left over Lasagna yet again, leaving none for *Franchesco*
*croud dabs at tears*

Sadly there is yet no happy ending to these tales of wo. Poor *Hanna* finds herself sad, not only for *Franchesco* who recieves to left overs, but also for *Ugene* who is going to end up terribly unhealthy if he does not stop consuming all of the left overs!

I'd like to thank you for joining us in this weeks tale of wo. We hope to see you again next time on :
IRRITATION!!!!!

Thank you and good day.

*Names and situations have been changed for the safety of the narrator*

Good Bye *eww-y* Tree

I haven't blogged in like a week...Sorry...it was a bad week...ANY WAY! So I figured I would share one of our adventures this weekend:)
The Apricot tree we've had in the back yard for YEARS (like, really. I think it was there when we moved in 14 years ago) has finally said bye-bye. Through the years it has made delicious nectar and jams and beautiful blossoms in the spring...and rotting messed in the fall... But yay verily, it bit the dust. It has been nasty infested by Gnats and Aphids.
Here are the pictures:)


The tree when we were about half way through...


The Aphids :P Nasty little things, When we'd pull off the branches the Gnats and Aphid would fall off like rain, IT WAS NASTY.


The webs near the tree were completely covered in Gnats and Aphids!


Bye-Bye tree. if you look close Ellen has Gnats all over her back!

There you have it:)

The End.

The Problem with Young People Today

*I know third post of the day...I'm getting rediculous*

REALLY! You all need to read this guys blog! IT'S HILARIOUS!

You might think I'm kidding, or just being silly, WRONG! I cried I was laughing so hard:)

http://crabbyoldfart.wordpress.com/

Seriously! Read it! ESPECIALLY read the one titled "They pee too much"! OH! MY! HECK! it's kinda truely amazing:) He does curse, but good golly it's funny:)

Enjoy:)

THE bathroom

I know I'm a giant goober, but I've been so stoked about planning my Forever home (as Josh and I call it) - prolly just cause I'm not living in my own house:) And then the 5 question friday asked about it and BAM! It's like fate was telling me that I HAD to tell you about my awesome plans:) So her you go!

This is my inspiration for my bathroom:)



I love love love the colors, the silvery and the deep purple:) you see, in my forever home My bedroom is going to have a lavender thing going on, so it only makes sence that the master bathroom would be purple! And you see my thing with the purple, one, super pretty color:) two, in MASH Hawk Eye always wore a purple robe, do you know WHY?!? because back in the day purple was a sign of royalty:) (so it's kinda awesome that Hawk Eye wore purple:)) but then I figure why can't my space be my own little...room of royalty:)

The other thing, and why I'm so obsessive and making big plans to have this rediculous bathroom is because the bathroom with by MY space. I know that seems completely rediculous, BUT think about it. Kids - no matter what - will go in and out of any room in the house they feel like, but the bathroom is the one room you can lock with out fear of huge issue:) So I'm making it all mine:)

So I'm going to have a nice big tub one can stretch out in:) and a separate shower, and windows and - my favorite part - a sit down! I know, I'm silly:) but if it's going to be my own little space I want a place to sit if I want to just go hide for a little while:) so I'm going to have a little platform with some kind of sitting arangement on it:) not big just enough for a sit:)



*I know, I have a silly obsession with the paint program..but it keeps all my thoughts in one place:)*

So it's going to be this royal purple all over, but then the tile on the floor will go up to encircle the tub and the shower the go back down but go up the wall about... 6 inches, go be hind the toilet then in the other corner do a square platform that stays just about 6 inches above the floor:) And the door is going to have one of those old time door nobs on it with the big keys:)

I'm so excited about this:) and you see, we're going to be millionairs so we'll have the money for the rediculous remodeling we're going to do:)

Any who:) tell me you thoughts, maybe you have some AWESOME thought I missed:)

Love Mush!
