disappointment. . . . never!

H. and I took the Lloyd Brothers to the Farmer's Market on Saturday. With all the wet and cool weather we've had this spring, the produce selection was a bit weak. The vendor booths were still stimulating. . . . and so were the boys. I learned a lot:

1. You can teach a 6 year old the meaning of "Schmooze"
2. A 3 year old who wears a "pull-up" for naps isn't happy if you only have a diaper.
3. You can attach the sides of the diaper (so it looks like a pull-up) and he isn't convinced....he knows it's still a diaper.
4. A purple care bear is a fine partner for nap time if you don't have anything else, but after the nap is over, that purple bear goes face first back to the toy chest!
5. The promise of purchasing a coconut is a great motivator!
6. A 3-year old who is told to "touch with your eyes only" will find a way to have his knee hit what his hands cannot!
7. Children make everything an exciting adventure.
8.I wish all my grandchildren were close so I could take them for a day-trip!

Weekend plans

Need I say more?

Ahh.....

Blue skies . . .
Two of my favorite words.
I have several:
Summer Afternoon.
Afternoon Nap.
LotionLotionLotion (inside joke w/my children)
Sunshine.
Pie.
Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I think my day will incorporate all of these things
I'm leaving at noon today to enjoy.
I'll be so happy.
Just breathe in that delicious spring sunshine.
I'll taste the blue skies.
Happy Happy Me.

Warning. . . . . . .

Any-hoo, hope you have
a great Wednesday. . .hump day.

Day 2. . . I want chocolate!

Here I am at my work station eating lunch, day 2 of the "four letter word" and I want some chocolate and perchance some red vines and . . . . .

Tuna salad, I actually really like my tuna salad, it's just when you put in your mind that there is something out there, like fries and a burger and some mashed potatoes with gravy, that would taste d-i-v-i-n-e!

Black olives (15 of them)

I do so love the Ranier Cherries!

I had 18 of these bad-boys.

And some yummy yogurt . . .cherry, ummmmmmm

This is the most important of all

my consumption items.

This gives me that little pick-me-up

I need to face the afternoon.

Actually, I must confess. . . . . . . .

I down one of these in the first

20 minutes I'm at my desk each morning.

It's a bonus if I get one for lunch

TAKING MY TITLE TO TASK. . . . .

This is the new food pyramid. I'm going to try to eat from it. Mr. Mr. has agreed to "eat better" with me. So, here we go again, the two fattie-la-rue's trying to shed a few pounds. It's so hard, I love bread and cookies and rolls and a big old dish of sugar smacks before bedtime, or possibly a pb&honey sandwich with a large glass of cold chocolate milk, and red vines, and chocolate-carmel-macadamia-nut clusters (we call them heroin balls, cuz we always want a "fix") I've been good today, lots of cherries (I have no control when it comes to cherry eating, but they work to "purge" the old gastrointestinal tract and that could lead to a weight loss on the scales.)

I'm not sure what this is doing here, sometimes I can't get pictures to load to my blog and sometimes, like now, a picture just appears. I do sort of like the bedspread in this picture.

These are the dreaded scales that I mount. . . . not often enough. I used to weigh myself every single day. Boyd made the comment that I weigh myself more regularly than I say my prayers, and I was shamed, because it was true. But, I'm proud to say that I pray more often than I weigh myself these days. I used to have some big old upright scales that were downstairs, and I would still make my weigh (?) downstairs every single morning. My routines consisted of removing all my jewelry, my underwear and spit before I stepped on them. It was sort of sick. I'm proud to say that now I just remove my underwear. . . . no spitting no removing of the jewelry *sigh**

This is the every fabulous and handsome Jon Bon Jovi, I think he's terrific. . . . need I say more, this picture says it all. . . .ummmmmmm.

I'm in dire need of a pedicure. I'm thinking it will be on my "to do" list this week.

I know that this post has "rambled" on. That's because it's titled "Random Ramblings and Sassy Snippets" so I need to come up with a sassy snippit now:

Umm........I've been watching the uncensored "Sex and the City" and you would think that I could remember some sassy thing to say from there. . . . . . .ummmmm. . . . .they are sometimes over the line of sassy to nasty, but that's what makes that show so fun to watch.. . . . It's my guilty pleasure I'm sorry to say. Oh, well, no sassi-ness to be had today.

It's time. . . . . . .
