I did it ;)

Um... let's just say 'duh'... and once I quit trying to be so smart, it was really easy to get those silly little widgets in here. 

So I added a wedding counter, too. 

Fun :D

Pretty simple day

No big deal today...

Slept in
Brunch (I LOVE making breakfastish stuff when my guys are home)
Yucky video game
Playoffs

I was washing dishes this morning, and had earphones in... was listening to the Les Miserables soundtrack, which I absolutely adore, and had kind of gotten lost in the music a little bit.  Standing at the sink, back turned to the house, lost in music, though, isn't always the best way to spend your time.  Completely independently, at separate times, each of my guys gave me a medium sized heart attack, just by walking in and trying to talk to me, assuming I could hear them coming.  I couldn't.  So all of a sudden, they'd be there, a foot behind me.  Holy cow, I'm surprised I didn't break half of our dishes this morning, lol.  The next time The Boy needed me, he came into the kitchen stomping his feet so that I'd know he was there.  That worked great, actually :D

I've been trying to figure out a way to put up my Goodreads stuff here on the blog... maybe then I'll keep that one up better too.  The only thing I've gotten up so far, though, isn't really what I wanted, though, because it doesn't seem to be updating.  Not sure if I'm gonna be able to get it to work the way I wanted.  We'll see.  I found the code... it SAYS just ad this gobbledygook to your site's HTML... but I know better than that.  You can't just put stuff anywhere you want.  It doesn't work that way, lol... and I have yet to figure out how to get it where I want it, and am not smart enough yet to be able to fix the errors it keeps throwing at me.

I'm kind of looking forward to watching that new show "The Cape" tonight... I'm getting more and more into the whole 'superhero' thing since I've met The Hubby... what's that say about me?  LOL.

Nothing too especially pictureworthy or original today, so here's just a shot of one of my favorite subjects:

Notice he's still sporting/supporting our Broncos on football Sunday, even though they're long out of it. :D

Back to work on that silly little widget.

Just when I think...

that we're not going to do anything picture-worthy today, The Honey goes and finds a video on How to Sound like Chewbacca.

ROFL.  We spent the next 10 min. practicing.  I, by far, am the worst at this, and quit even trying pretty quickly.  But here's the guys doing their Wookiee impressions.

The rest of the day was pretty simple... The Boy and The Friend played around... The Honey went to work this morning, like most Saturday mornings, and I chilled.  Then he came home around noon, and we spent the afternoon all hanging out.  The boys did their smack talking, and predicting, but nobody really thought the Seahawks would pull off that win, so that was pretty cool. 

Now The Boy's in bed listening to ESPN as he falls asleep, and The Honey and I are watching the Jets/Colts game.  This game's not nearly as fun to watch as the earlier game, but that's ok.  :D  Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, having The Honey home all day, making a nice brunch, and having more football to watch!

Oh, the indignity...

Today got off to a rough/slow start.  I woke up with the kind of headache that makes you want to curl up into a ball and forget that you exist.  That's what I did for the first few hours after I took the boy to school this morning... slept on the couch, nuggled up with the dog.  Headache hung in there, though, and didn't break until several hours after I'd gotten up and decided that I had to get moving, headache or not.

As for right now, The Boy's got a friend over, and they're off giggling in his room, so The Honey and I are chillin in the living room.  He's taking this rare kid-free time early in the evening to play his gross-out video game. 

I wouldn't post a pic of The Boy's friend here on the blog, so I'm going to cheat a little and post a pic of the way things go around here when he comes to play, but the pic is actually a bit of a cheat because it's from the LAST time he was here.

Living where we do now, we're likely to run in to Bengals fans... it's just a fact of life, and we try not to hold it against 'em... The Boy's best friend is a Bengals fan.  You should hear the smack talk back and forth between 10 year old fans of two 4 and 12 teams.  It's pretty bad.
Anyways, the last time he came over, The Friend brought his brand new Carson Palmer doll (action figure?  *in*action figure?  Who knows) to the house.  That couldn't be left alone... not in this house. Here's what good old Carson ended up looking like by the time he left:  Pay special attention to the improvement to his helmet :D  He'd have been wearing a whole Broncos uni, but then you wouldn't be able to tell who it was, lol.

 

 

Well...

It was bound to happen, but I'm sad that it only took me a week to forget to blog for a day.  I remembered last night as we were going to bed.  No way was I going to stall out the getting ready for bed process, though, so oh well.

I did manage to get a picture in the afternoon.  I just didn't get it posted or written about yesterday.

So here's my rant about this picture.  We had a *20*% chance of snow yesterday.  20!  Yeah.  That picture was after an hour... I'm thinking that our local meteorologist needs to go back to math class and learn a little bit about percentages and probabilities.  Last I checked, 20% meant something was pretty stinking unlikely to happen.  :(

Ok, I'm done.  Today's post will go up later.  I'm going to give the computer a little time to chill out... its fan is running pretty loud right this moment.

Organization and the science fair

I didn't sleep entirely well last night, and woke up very tired.  Lazed around most of the morning, and decided to get down to all of the stuff I've been avoiding all week.  Major reorganization.  You must know I had to be *extremely* bored in order to turn to cleaning/organizing. LOL

I got my summer and winter wardrobes switched out (talk about behind the times) so that the summer stuff is put away a little more, and the winter stuff is more organized and accessible.  So that's a start.  Tomorrow I tackle the rest of our 'spare room'.  Yippee :D

When the boy came home, he finished up his homework and then decided to get started on his science fair project.  The topic he was given (because he waited too long to choose one) was to find out what would happen if you roll a full can of soda and an empty one down a plank... which one will hit the ground first? 

We got all of the legwork done today... 3 different inclines, 5 trials each, so that his data is conclusive and thorough, and I got pictures of all of it for his posterboard... not sure what else to put on there, because it is SO straightforward.  But I'm proud of him for deciding to work on it tonight (3 weeks before it's due).  We'll spend the next few weeks trying to make it look as good as possible. 

Oh yeah... and I ate potatoes for breakfast.  ROFL

So I survived

Quiet day is over, and my guys are home.  It was surprising to me how weird it felt to be alone all day, and then to get back to our routine.  We'd only been doing the home all day thing for about 2.5 weeks, but everything felt weird today.

All's right in the world, now, though, and my guys are back to their games.  I'm sitting here happy as a clam.

Ate too much today, though.  I kind of expected that.  It was absolutely a function of boredom.  I'll have to work on that.
