This is how our Sporting KC Fans roll.. : )..

After problems with the public address system and two microphones, the
KC crowd took over the National Anthem duties in an amazing, patriotic
display of pride.  Great job Sporting KC fans and everyone there.  : )..

Another movie I want to see..

There's a leek in the boat!!!

Lol..  : )..

Country music these days..

I've always liked country music, but this morning,

I heard 5 new songs by various artists

that were really great.  : )..

The new one by Sugarland?

someone that I didn't recognize,

a newer Dierks Bentley,

and then this one from Tim McGraw..

 



The light at the end of the tunnel.. : )..

 This is how I look getting ready for work in the mornings..

Way before the crack of dawn..

 

It's almost over..

: )..

I might get to change my schedule this Wednesday.

Instead of working 0500-1330,

I'll be working 1800-0230.

I was hoping for more of an afternoon shift,

but this is definitely a better schedule than that 0500 one.

Whew!  No more brain dead mornings

where I come thisclose to locking my keys in

the car while it's still running.  Lol.

 

Come on Wednesday!  Yay!!



Not a Toby "Star Kissed" Keith fan, but I like this song..



Cars, Bees and Red Lights, Oh My!

While I was sitting at a local red light,

I had my car windows rolled down just a smidge.

I was minding my own business,

patiently waiting when all of a sudden,

I felt a little thump on my shoulder,

only to find something like this on me..

 I'm sure it was only this size..

I wasn't taking any chances!

I discovered that I have yet another

fantastic dance in my ever-growing

repertoire..  Lol..

It's "Ack! I've got a hornet on me!"



Jim Carrey on Ellen today..

Shift Work Disorder Syndrome.. Lol.

I heard a radio commercial on the way to work

the past couple days, and finally started paying attention.

It's a medication designed to help people who

are tired and sleepy because of the shift times that they work.

I've been so sleepy and tired..

And forgetful..

And..

Ugh..

Tired..

But then?

I caught the side effects:

 

What are possible side effects of NUVIGIL?

• Stop taking NUVIGIL and call your doctor or get emergency help if you get any of the following serious side effects:
  • Mental (psychiatric) symptoms, including: depression, feeling anxious, sensing things that are not really there, extreme increase in activity (mania), thoughts of suicide, aggression, or other mental problems.
  • Symptoms of a heart problem, including: chest pain, abnormal heart beat, and trouble breathing.
• Common side effects of NUVIGIL are headache, nausea, dizziness, and trouble sleeping. These are not all the side effects of NUVIGIL.

Lol.

Umm.

Yeah.

Umm.

I think I'll just get more rest.

: )..

Puppy Love..

 Too cute..  : )..

 Too close to home.. Lol..

How could you resist a puppy like that?

I know that I couldn't..

: )..

(not my actual pup)



Healthy Eating? Count me in. : )..

I love Reuben's, but I'm well aware they aren't the healthiest meal.

Until now.  : )..

Jillian Michael's Biggest Loser Reuben..

Count me in!



Red Thursday..

Our guys are up in Philly trying to make it a 3-0 season,

leading 10-7 so far.  Go Chiefs!

: )..

Super Salads.. : )..

I'm always looking for some delicious

salad ideas and this one looks great.   : )..

It's another Pinterest post..

I Got You.. Yes He does.. : )..

Grapes and Bees and Wasps! Oh My!

 Ohh, a nice little bird nest..  : )..

 Those nice little birds, pecked holes in the grapes.

Which increases the sweetness so they are ok.

However?  Yup!  It was bee city!

Yikes!  I got stung three times,

another person had 7-8. : (..

Yeow!!  There were a lot of yellow jackets,

wasps and bumble bees there too.

 All in all, they have 11 filled tubs of Seyval Grapes.

 The best yet?  It rained for about 15 minutes

right at the end and we were soaked.

 After the bee stings, we thought we'd end up

getting struck by lightning.  Yikes!

The after pickin meal is always delish.

The owners are vegetarians,

but the food is always great.

And the wine is too.  : )..

Grape Therapy..

 

It's almost time for some grape therapy..

 

Especially this kind..

 

 

 

 

 



Lovin Pink.. And Lily Allen? Bonus.. : )..

Bingo Bango!

Who could resist a cute little face like this?

Apparently 30+ people couldn't..

We had another rousing successful charity Bingo

game for another great cause.

Lexi's mom needed to raise some funds

so that she could take her over to St. Louis

for ABM therapy.

 

We raised enough money for them last night

to pay for five treatments and the costs

associated with the trip.

: )..

We had such a great turnout,

and there were so many great Bingo prizes

and raffle items that were donated.

 

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night,

but it was well worth staying up late!

 

Go KC!

Go Lexi!

: )..



Love for Lexi Bingo..

I've been trying to adjust to my early morning schedule

and trying to find someone who is willing to

switch to a later shift.  I'm a nightowl,

not an early bird.  It's getting

harder to get going

every early,

early,

early morning..

 

I've also been busy trying to get some items together

for another charity bingo game for an online

friend.  I've finally found an idea that

should really make for some great

raffle items.

 

I've got all of the supplies.

I've just got to get busy and put them all together.

 

 

It's another great Pinterest find.  : )..

Slow drivers..

Long, long, long, slow, slow, slow work day..

Never thought that was going to end..

Worn out..

Hot, non-air-conditioned, long drive home..

Slow, slow, slow drivers..

Hot..  Hot..  Hot..

Slow turners..

Upside for the day?

Had some deeeelishus sirloin steak for dinner.

Yummy!

Woot.

Still tired.

Still a little warm.

Not so cranky.
Not sooo overly audibly stimulated.
It's been an ok day.
Yet.
The cat is still lurking, waiting, plotting.
Although!
I do still have some wine!
: )..
Whew!
Ready for the day to be over.

1:30PM?!  What?!  : ).. 

 Really?!

Woohoo!  Time to go home!

 

Yeah.

My brain is finished with my 0500 shift.

I just about locked my keys in my car,

while the car was still running.

I tried buzzing myself out of the bathroom door,

where there is no card reader.

 

My brain stayed home today..

Until it was time to go home..

I have got to get off this shift.

Lol.

My brain agrees.

sigh.



Heeeeere Mousie Mousie Mousie! Noooooooooo! Lol.

 

Since I moved to my new department at work, we've been

having sightings and trappings of mice, left and right.

There have been at least 10 captured back in our

cubicle station.  Yikes!  Thankfully, I haven't

seen any of them yet.  I still haven't

fully recovered from my run in

out in my garage.

However, here is a funny video for all of my

co-workers.  Lol.

Here mousie mousie mousie!

Be careful what you wish for.

: )..

Oooh, yes please.. : )..

A milkshake that is good for you?

Count me in!

Weight Watchers recipe that is

only worth 1 point,

2 if you add cocoa?

: )..

Oooh, yes please!

Happy Birthday to Andrew.. : )..

It's Andy's birthday today.

After all the hard work he put in with the Rams,

they released him and decided not to sign him to their

practice squad.  He should still be proud of himself and the

performance he gave.  He showed all of the best traits

any player could.  Talent.  Dedication.  Hard work.

Great hands.  Fast feet.  Great tackles.

 

Helmick Nation still stands along with him

and couldn't be prouder of the work he did.

 

Happy Birthday Andy!



Unagi.. Ahhh.. Salmon Skin Roll.. : )..
