Its Friday morning, and I got off work this morning at 4 am.  i have some time before John gets up, so here i am, going to try and fill in the big blank I left all week. This has been one of those weeks. I feel like I got beat to death all week. You know those days, it feels like someone beat you up while you werent looking? Well, that happened all week to me. I can usually get home, look at a few blogs, maybe even think of something I just have to tell everyone, then scoot on off to bed. Not this week. I dont know why it wore me out, but it did. Even right now, I really wanto get to bed and sleep for many many hours. I dont have to work sunday night though, so that is good I guess, a little time to let my body recouperate from the beating.

Alex, my son, called and said he can come home for thanksgiving and asked if I would fly him home. So, I have been looking for the last couple of days for good prices on flights. Jet Blue doesnt fly out of Tulsa, I would like to try them, and see if their prices would be any better. The thing that really gets me, I usually get my tickets through travelocity. They end up having the best prices. So, I buy the tickets for the listed price,, then low and behold, the next day, I swear, they send me an Email telling me I can get the same ticket for at least 100.00 less. Now that really pisses me off. So, i called and stayed on hold for ten minutes to ask why I cant have the guarentee they offer.  I was told if i get a better off within 24 hours of buying my E ticket, they will honor the price on the Email offer, with no extra charge. We will see. I gonna wait an watch the prices for a few days, and see what happens with the prices. Sometimes they go down.

Theres not a whole lot more going on.  John is up, so i can read a few blogs, leave a few responses and get to sleep again. Maybe I can still have part of the day, If I dont sleep too long.

Ok, this is way too excitng for me. if you check out my last blog comments, i said I was gonna try to cut n paste Mikes new wonderings, and I did it. Oh, i wont be a total dork for long at this pace.  So i am going to try and Google these wonderings afforded to me from Mike, and see how far I can get. This should be fun:

Now here's a few more to ponder..







1.Why doesn a woman's arms bow slightly out at the elbow and a man's arms turn in? Ok, so i found this. It is from an old readers digest article from 1966. it says a little more than the actual origanil question, but I wnated to leave the whole thing in its own context.

Why are women so clumsy at pitching a ball and running? Lay it to bone structure. The reason most women can’t pitch an efficient overhand may be connected with the “carrying angle” of their arms. The average woman’s arms are more bent at the elbow than a man’s. This may help to cause the stiff downward motion in ball-throwing that men find so hilarious.

Most women also are knock-kneed; their legs are built in the same bent angle as their arms. Men’s legs are usually straighter, like their arms. That’s why men run straight and gracefully and women awkwardly, throwing their legs in an arc. It’s why, too, women have a harder time with balance and are more prone to tumbles-a fact for which insurance companies will vouch.

2.Why do people describe some foods as tasteing like chicken? Ok, I for got to get all the pertanent data that supports what i am gonna say here, but a lab in Georga states that due to the makeup of the  skin and meat of a chicken, it is impossible for other food items to taste like chicken.

 







Im not doing these in order, this is my first Googling thing. I will try and get the next one right.







3.Why do some people have innies and others have outies (as in belly button)? this was answere by Mavis, I dont have to look this one up. its because of the way the doctor cut your umbilical cord, which is what I figured it was.







4.And the best of all is Why is it easier to find something when you're not looking for it than when you are?OK, this one take some looking into. I will have to figure out how to word it correctly.







OK, so there is my first public dispaly of Googling. i should have thrown in Gallager while i was at it, but oh well, i didnt . Thank you Em and Mike for your help in de-dorking me. Im sure it will take me a little time to get really good at this, but I will get better. I have more of those embarrassing questions on how I actually went about getting to google and back again, but i willask them later. maybe I did it right and jsut dont know it.

Friday Babble(I have nothing to write about)

I wonder  about a lot of things. I dont wonder or care enough about a lot of them to actually find out the reasons behind my wonderings, I just wonder.  That is fair. Since there isnt anything actually worth telling the world about today, (and I think I should contribute to this forum every once in a while) today, I am going to write my wonderings. Is that a word? wonderings. Dont know, and who really cares.  Ok, here goes.

1. I wonder why people from different parts of the world look so different. Why dont we all look the same. And for that matter, what would the same be if we all were. The USA is made up of people from everywhere, so we cant use that place, so I will use, for example Africa, Asia, and the Norwegian areas. Africa is ,I think, predominantly black, Asia is a light brown/ yellow color and Norwegian is fairly light/white colored. Why is this so. Not that is matters, I dont really care what color people are, I just wonder why we change so much from region to region.

2. Why do Black people have tight kinky hair, and Asians tend to have black straight hair, and Norwegians tend to have  blond, wavey hair. Is there some reason for this, that God or nature has  created to help this group of people survive. Again, all these dont really matter to me, I just wonder a lot.

3. I wonder why Nasa thought it was important enough to remove Pluto from being a planet and making it a dwarf planet. Why do we have to spend our money changing a planets status, when it doesnt effect anything. I mean really, WHO REALLY CARES!

4. I wonder why are some people really tall, and some are really short?  I would love to be 4 inches taller, but I never will be. I think If I was 4 inches taller, it would be easier to find pants to fit me, I have short legs.

5. I wonder, in the beginning of time, or each diferent area of the world, how did the people decide what the language would be. How did they decide to how to write the words they spoke. Why are they so many different Spanish language countries, but only one French. Why do some, like the the Irish, English and Scottish have strong accents, and some of their own words, but basicly still speak English.

See, its things like this I wonder about. Its not enough to rock my world, but it keeps me wondering. If I take the time to find out, what will I wonder about. I will have to find more different stuff to wonder about. OK, thats it for today. I dont really have anything else to say. I hope everyone has a great weekend. And if you know the reasons behind any of these things, feel free to let me know. If you have your own wonderings, feel free to let us know those things also. We all know we can find the answeres  with a few keystrokes, but hey, sometimes its fun to wonder.

I did it again! I finally figured out how to do the stupid photostream and flicker. I couldnt even get into flicker until I was told i only had to put in my address.Duh. Thank you Marie.  and now i can maybe try and put a pic on my own page. If I mess it up, you will see just a generic page. I wont try until work on it though. Now i get to try and put two pics on one page. this is me getting as excited as my sleepy eyes will let me right now.  I get so bored with my blog pages, the best I can do is add one pic and change the font and color of the font. oooooooh/aaaaaahhh. Now maybe I will also learn where the hell you go to get pics of the internet and how do you get them to your page. I am too embarrassed to ask these things ussually, but once again, tired lets me ask anything, I dont care at this point. OK, here I go, dressing up my page as much as I can today, and I am off to bed. Good Night

A WONDERFUL TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

I wish i had a picture to post up here from our weekend away, but they all got deleted accidently. Yes, i am sick about that, because i take a bunch of pics, anytime I do anything fun. Memorys you know. 

the wedding was putside and the weather my ssister orderd to go along turned out jst as she requested. Perfect also. some said it cooled off too much in the evening, but John n I were fine, and if anyone was gonna be cold, it should have been us, coming from a much hotter climate. there was a seven piece jazz orchestra, and they were pretty good when they played, but they didnt seem to have a set arrangement. they had plenty of time to create one prior to the wedding, but I guess thay didnt think about that part. hmmmm.

The food was fabulous. Caterers walked around prior to the wedding with trays of stuffed mushrooms that just made you weant more and also kielbasa for he meat eaters in the bunch. For dinner, we had tritip and wasabi chicken.OMG THAT WAS GOOD. I didnt have the trutip, but the chicken was delish. All the meat was prepared on a giant bbq right there. They even had asperagus spears, but I didnt see them, so my brotherin law gave me one of his. I love asperagus. Everything was so fresh and tasty.

the yard was decorated in white and lavender and was heatd in the evening by those propane tall torch thingys. (that word has to pop into my blogs just about everywhre. ) we were also kept warm by a flowing supply of wine and spirits. Oh yes, it was a blast, and we danced. we probably sang too, but I dont remember.

the next day, we all waited impatiently for the newlyweds to return so we could open their gifts. I was not feeling so good( again, those free flowing spirits) and i also wanted to go home. finally they got there around noon, when they said they would. All the gifts were brouhgt outside and she proceded to start rippen. They got some really beautiful stuff. I couldnt wait for here to open the quilt, and finally she did. It is really heavy, so she couldnt take the wjole thing out of the container, but they both really loved it. she said it would match her room perfectly. stuff like that makes it worth it to do stuff like that. They also got a stack of gift cards, the latest in easy gifts. They really are practical though.

We left after. I slept all the way home, and then after we unloaded the car and had a light snack, I had to go to bed again so I could go to work and feel a little better.  Well, that was our latest weekend.It was really a lot of fun and I just love being with my family. They are so important to me. I feel fortunate to have a family that has fun together and enjoys spending time together.

ok, one more time, that is it for today. see ya all  next time.

ITS DONE, ITS FINALLY REALLY REALLY DONE!

Now I can put it in a box and take it to the weddin. I am so happy with the way it turned out. Remember when I  started it? It seems like so long ago. Check out the edges. Those are called prairie points. I had to cut a million squares and fold them into triangles then sew them together in a row. I got them ready while the quilt was in the shop. I just had to show you guys the finished product. I wish I could keep this on my bed. I think it is so pretty. I am very proud of it.  Tomarrow is the wedding day, I think I got it done just in time. I also made night stand covers to match. It will look nice.

Our trip to the Coast

I am writng this today because I had to write the challenge blog yesterday. Friday morning, I got off work at 8, came home, showered, packed and we were out the door by 10:00. That was pretty good. I told John I would sleep in the car, so I wouldnt be so tired later on.  I tried, i really did. We didnt go the usual route to the coast. We decided to take a more scenic route, even though it takes a little bit longer. Who cares, we were on a mini vacation.  We went Highway 12 through Rio Vista, into the Fairfield area, and through back door into Petaluma.

As John was driving, I decided I couldnt sleep, so I sat up and got out my camera. The windmills you see on my Album are all shot while driving. In fact I think about the first 20 or thirty pics are while driving. Pretty good huh. I love the windmill shots. Those are all over the Valley area. they generate quite a bit of energy just by using the wind. when you look at them turning, it doesnt look like they are moving very fast, but in fact, I just learned they are traveling quite fast. Ithink it was 75 mph. The design of the windmills had to be changed because birds would fly into them and get killed. The new design is more bird freindly.

I also have a few shots of our California Happy cows and a heard of happy sheep. We say they are happy, because they dont have to stand out in the cold, Like in Wisconson, or any other place that makes Cheese. Has anyone ever seen the California happy cow commercials. They are cute.

there is a pic of Jelly Belly factory that we passed. the schools out here like to take field trips to the factory, and when they do, John asks the bus drivers to bring him back some belly flops. Taht is what rejected bellies are called. They are about half the price but taste the same. John works for the school district as a mechanic, he has connections.

We went straight to our Hotel and checked in. We were so surprised to find the warm weather had followed us all the way to the coast. It is normally quite a bit colder there, sweater or even coat weather, even in the summer. But this weekend was perfect. Our room was on the second floor and we could look out and see the whole town of Occidental. It only has one block. One main road that leads in and out. It is surrounded by large redwoods and pine trees. Redwoods only grow in California that I know of. We also have Eucalyptus trees, they only grow in Australia and here in California. The redwoods are so beautiful and tall and Majestic. they smell so good and when you are surrounded by them, you feel small, and you are. I took a  few pics of the view from our room. We ate dinner at an Itialian place called Negri's.  I grew up eating there with my family. There is another place across the street called the  Union Hotel, that is where Johns family grew up eating. It isnt a hotel at all any more. They raised their prices, so we ate at Negris. The food is so good there, much better than at The Union. We had breakfast the next day and left for the coast.

the north coast is much different than the south coast of California. There are more jagged rocks and dangerous waters. Surfers still venture out there though, as you can see in the pics. I got some pics of seals in the ocean, a littel grey spotted one, you can just bairly see him in one of the pics, the one with the white water around the rocks. There are sharks in our water also. I wouldnt go out surfing in this water. John has gone Abelone=ing before, and it scare the heck out of me. Some scary stuff lives in those waters. I loved seeing the pacific ocean again and smelling the salty air. It makes me feel free.

This is getting rather long, so I will finish it tomarrow. I will pick up at the Sea lions in the harbor. I will also lable all the pics again. I did it yesterday, but it didnt save for some reason.

Lisa's Challenge blog

Wow, was I surprised at the response to this. I just thought it would be a fun thing to do and bring us together again. As I was reading the different blogs, I noticed it has traveled to 360 family I havent met yet, and how fun is that. Im glad this generated some fun for us.

Anyway, I started to bring my camera with me everywhere I went. It did seem a little strange, while sitting at stoplights and driving down streets in town to be snapping pictures and hoping to stay in my lane. People did look at me strange while I took pictures, but let them wonder. They may be looking in the paper for the pics to appear there. No one ever asked what the pictures were for. I havnt gotten the police car or the school yet, so my challenge isnt complete. I will add them when I get them.  Our town isnt as old as some, maybe a little older than a hundred years. I will have the look it up.

We happen to be the car theft capitol of the world, nothing to brag about, but we also happen to be the tree capitol also. I think its something like more trees per something, I dont know. Every house has to have a tree in front of it.  My virtual walking tour around my block is full of them, thats in my album also.

 The pic showing here is of our sign that used to be the entrance to our city. There has been so much added, it is now a few blocks in. There is a smaller and newer  version in one of the other entrances, but I like this one.

 Ok, so look in my album for the pics that i did get. I also am going to post our weeknnd trip to the Coast. That was a lot of fun. the north coast is very different form the south coast. The sand is courser and the water is much more dangerous.  Lots of sharks, no pics of that, but I did get  some seal and sea lions. I am also posting pics from the opening day of deer season at my brother  in laws deer camp. No deer were taken that. It is very pretty country out there.

Well that is it for now. Hope you all enjoyed this little challlenge andI am looking forward to seeing your towns.

Again, i have so much of nothing to say. I was just over reading Ems page, and enjoying the pics she posted of her day at the ballpark. We dont all know what each others neighborhoods look like, or the citys we live in. I was thinking maybe we could send out a blog request to take our cameras with us in our daily lives and take pics of our towns we live in. We have all heard of Boston, New York, New Jersey, and even the UK. the only pics we generally see are the ones that the media wants us to see, unless  our friends took the pics.

OK, so i ma asking anyone that wants to be a part of this totake thier cameras withttm for a week.  Take pics of everyday life in your town. Main street. the parks. what your police cars look like, things like that, and post them next week. I have nothing to really talk about, but i love to take pics of things. I think this would be fun. waht do you think. I am going to the coast next weekend, so i will add thise pics in. That would be Bodega Bay, Amber.  We are going to trya nd spendd one night in Occidental, just outside of Bodega. Then a party on Saturday and Saturday night in Nacasio, that is in Marin county.

OK, that is all i have . It just doesnt seem right for me to go the whole week and have nothng to say, so ath is all for now.  see ya all later

OK, I was tagged and now I have to write 6 things that are wierd about myself.

 

1. I am scared of spiders, snakes, and anything touching me inthe water.

2. I keep my youngest sons baby teeth in a bag in my dresser. I know, how disgusting!

3. Im more scared of the daytime noises than the night time noises in my house, since I sleep during the day, they are less familiar to me.

4. I will sleep at night witht the doors wide open if its hot, as long as the locks are on the security door in the front, and all we have in the back is a sliding screen with a wimpy lock.

5. The one thing I would really like to have on my blog is spell check because spelling errors drive me nuts.

6. I cant stand hearing people say "um" at any time during any type of presentation. I feel if they are telling me something, they should know what they are saying. (a regular conversation is different) I also cant stand to hear people always say, ya know, like,  and these types of conversation helper/hinderers.

Ok, that is  my little list. As i said before, I wont tag six other people, just because.

I feel so bad for all you folks over on the other side. We just got over our heat wave, and I see the heat has broke in the UK. It looks like it landed all along the East coast now. It was miserable, I know, and really I do feel bad for you. Learn to drink Gatoraid. It kept me from getting headaches every day. I couldnt get enough water in me. As soon as I drank it, I would sweat it right back out, so i was dehydrated and couldnt do anything about it. When I started drinking Gatoraid, I started feeling better.  It really does work. and if your going to be outside, wear a hat and drink more fluids. I know you all know this, but if you go throught he same kind of heat wave we did, you have to take care of yourselves. I thought I was gonna have to take John to the hospital, cus he would come home from work, and just be all flush, and didnt look good at all. It gets really scary, and you dont even realuise it is happening to you. If you only drink water, and sweat a lot, you arent replacing your electrolites you loose, and need. That is why I say drink gatoraid.  and Please check on your elderly neighbors, dont think they know what is going on and that someone is taking care of them. If it is really hot in their homes and they dont have AC, they could be in a dangerous situation.  enough said I hope.

OK, Im stepping down of my my little heat wave soap box. I only jumped up there cus you guys are important to me. anyway, I went back to Santa cruz this weekend to attend my neices wedding shower. It was set up so cute. Her sisters had a theme of Mexican fiesta. They ordered real brite colored mexican blankets from Mexico, for the table coverings. they bought Pinatas and the big Sombreros for decorations. There was a special decorated one in Black, Yellow and orange for the bride, groom and their baby. We ate homade tamales, chile relanos, rice,and the best salsa and chips. There was supposed to be beans, but they were forgotten, we were wondering where they were. Every Mexican meal always has beans. OH but the food was too good. tehn we drank margeritas from the margerita machine. How fun was that, just walk on over and fillerup. It was a beautiful day. Not too hot.  I cant wait for the wedding, now that is going to be fun. I have to go shopping, I need something to wear.

there isnt a whole lot happening here, other than that. Just work, sleep, wakeup, and work sleep wakeup some more. So, until I have something to tell you all about, I guess I will sign out. See ya all later.
