Trading Spaces - Eat your heart out!

If I can do this for $250* - can you imagine what I could accomplish with the $1000 they give you on Trading Spaces!???!??!
(**  The $250 doesn't reflect the stove or pantry.  The Stove in the before pics came with the house, I had brought my nice stove with me from our last house, so that doesn't equate into the cost.  And the cost of building the pantry doesn't equate either, because we did that with $ left over from the sale of our last house...  LOL)
MY KITCHEN BEFORE:
(Notice, there is just dead, unusable space between the fridge and the wall).

Apparently I don't have any good pics of the breakfast nook before, but its the same color, and lovely blue counter tops.....

My Kitchen after Phase I:

Phase II will include new, non-blue counter tops.  New Microwave, new dishwasher..

EVENTUALLY (in a few years when we win the lottery) we'll do new/better tile, and alllllll new cabinets.  In the mean time, I think it looks better!  :D

Thing1 ate a stepped on lunch...

Mmmmmmmmm.
She lost her lunch between Mama's car and the classroom.  Before she had to buy the schools yummy chicken pot pie (yeah, she wouldn't have eaten that!  lol) the teacher found her lunch bag, where someone had obviously stood on it..

Instead of breaking down and eating the schools yummy chicken pot pie, she decided to eat her smooshed uncrustable, that was hanging 1/2 way out of the baggie.....  MMMMMMMMM  Sounds yummy doesn't it!?

Finish this sentence.. I love it when.....

I love it when, I go outside to check and see why my dogs haven't asked to come back inside - and animal control is pulling into my driveway with my dogs in the back of the truck, because they've been next door chasing my neighbor’s cats and harassing them.

I love it when I have to call and apologize to my elderly and very nice neighbors for my stupid dog’s rude behavior.

Yes, the boys took off. Wanna know why? They had had baths.

If they are clean, it is their job to find a way to get stinky. The neighbor kept apologizing for calling the pound on them; she didn't think they were our dogs because they didn't have on collars. Well, I hadn't put their collars on yet because I like to wait til they are good and dry to do that....

In their defense though, last night when we were getting ready to close up the house after a beautiful spring day of windows and doors open, a cat appeared at our doorway to taunt the boys. My guess is she was to blame. (Of course I want to blame the neighbor’s cat!!!!)

Really, you thought it was a good idea?

So say you are a college student working in a computer lab, and your mouse stops working.
There is one other person in the lab, who OBVIOUSLY works for the IT department.  (Going from computer to computer, installing software on every PC, but the one you are on - with an ID badge on.)

Do you?

A.  Turn around and ask the IT person for help?

B.  BANG THE MOUSE ON THE DESK OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again very hard?

Apparently the answer was B today. 
I got up, walked over, and plugged the USB cable back into her computer with MUCH stink eye.

Am I a control freak? Yes, I probably am.

I decided on my way back to work from lunch, that if I were a fire fighter/EMT - I would need to be the driver of the truck.


I was waiting at the stop light to turn back to the college, and a fire truck was coming, sirens blaring.

The passenger was sitting there calmly flipping through a book, never looked up, and just looked so CALM.

I am SO not that person. I would TOTALLY be passenger-seat driving for the actual driver. Checking the spedo, watching traffic, and making demands from the front seat.

So I should just be the driver.
If I were a fire fighter/EMT.

Sonic Etiquette

Let’s talk Sonic Etiquette.

Sonic is a way of life here in Oklahoma. It started here, it’s everywhere here (malls, airport, every street corner…), and you may have your redneck card pulled if you don’t have an empty sonic cup rolling around your truck in these parts.

Rule 1.

Now that most Sonics now have a drive through (they didn’t always). THE DRIVE THROUGH IS FOR DRINKS ONLY.

Let me repeat that.

THE DRIVE THROUGH IS FOR DRINKS ONLY. If you are purchasing food – PULL INTO A STALL.

This rule applies at all times, but most especially during Happy Hour (when drinks are ½ price). The 30 people who are only ordering drinks behind you, while you are holding up the line waiting for your breakfast toaster to be toasted are calling you bad names.

Rule 2.

If your kid is having the tantrum of all tantrums and screaming so loudly that my kids, 2 cars behind you, BEG me to roll my windows up – YOUR KID DOES NOT NEED A SLUSH. They need a time out or a nap. Roll you window up, pull out of the drive thru, and take them home..

All of the other 400 people at Sonic during Happy Hour will THANK YOU for your participation.

Why is it dangerous to give a blonde an I-Phone??

WHY do you ask is it dangerous to give a blonde an I-Phone???

Because she tries to walk and play on it at the same time.

and WHERE does that lead her??????

Yes, thats right, I went to the mens room.

THANKFULLY there were no men in there, becuase I think I would have to go bleach my eyes out if I had seen one of my coworkers standing at a urinal.

Did I mention this wouldn't have been some random stranger I would have seen peeing.  It would have been a COWORKER.

Note to self, stop walking and I-phoning....
