(late) monday random five

Totally failed to write my blog yesterday. The only day I promised myself I would post faithfully. Heh. I have no excuse other than I'm lazy. Whatever, sue me.

So, without further adieu: Ambie's Monday Random Five!

1. I still remember my first day of kindergarten, and making my first friend. We are still friends today.
2. One of my favorite guilty-pleasure TV shows is Jerseylicious...I know, right?
3. Along those same lines, I have promised myself to never watch that Honey Booboo show, but I probably will...
4. I hate socks and only wear them when I absolutely have to.
5. I am terrible at saving money.

So, there it is.

And...your random picture!

Meet Edgar, my stuffed mink :)

Allonsy!

sick days and napping children

So I have been sick for the past few days. Which sucks, I guess it's time for my flu shot again! Anyway, the best part about being sick is laying on my couch in my pajamas watching Netflix all day! (Which isn't any different than a normal day off other than I'm high on cold meds and the movies are funnier.)

If you know anything about me, you know that I thrive on terrible movies. Awful, B-rated movies. Take right now, I am watching Blubberella and it is OMG AWESOME!! Another one of my favorite movies is She. Seriously. Amazing piece of cinema there. But I digress.

My youngest son Jacob astounds me with his ability to fall asleep anywhere, in the oddest positions. Example:

He fell asleep like this earlier this week while waiting on me to have dinner ready. Talent.

Allonsy!

monday random 5

One of my favorite bloggers, Kandee Johnson (http://www.kandeej.com/, http://kandeelandkandeeland.blogspot.com/) does a weekly list of 5 random things about herself or things she likes. It sounds like fun and I am going to start doing it too!

So...I present you with: Ambie's Monday Random Five!!!


1. I love the smell of burning leaves.
2. My favorite card game is euchre (even though I am not very good lol).
3. I someday want to own a farm big enough to have some chickens, goats, pigs and maybe a cow and some horses.
4. I hate crickets!! I would rather deal with spiders than crickets!!
5. I wish I was more artistically inclined.


So, there it is! My first Monday Random Five.

And I leave you with a random picture for the week:

Allonsy!

ready to party!

I am seriously super excited for this weekend! We are celebrating Tim's birthday with our yearly cookout! It is always a fun time and I love having our friends over! I spent the day cleaning and tomorrow we are going shopping for the food, and then we'll be all ready!

PARTY TIME! WEEEE!!

my best friend

My best friend is my dog, Ace. I've always been a cat lover, but I fell in love with Australian Shepherds at the state fair many years ago, and have wanted one since. When the opportunity arose that a friend had one he wanted to get rid of, I knew it had to happen. It took a lot of pleading and tears for my husband to agree to getting him, (which is a long story I won't get into,) Ace came home with me. He has been my constant companion ever since.

Baby Ace! February 2009

Awkward adolescent Ace! Early 2010

Ace wears bow ties now, bow ties are cool. Summer 2011

Grown-up Ace! Early 2012

Best friends! Summer 2012

I love this dog. I hope everyone has a chance to feel the unconditional love an animal has to offer.

Allonsy!

little things

You know those little, small things that can make you stupidly happy? We all have that something. After a crappy or blah feeling day, you can do or eat or watch or whatever your little thing and the whole day is just...better.
My little thing is Doctor Who. If you don't know me, I am utterly obsessed with the show. If you don't know what it is...Google it, Netflix it, iTunes it or something, it can't be explained. Regardless, it has changed my life in a good way. Yes, I know I am a nerd.
Anyway, today was just a yuck day. Work was meh, came home and took a nap and woke up still kinda blah, almost picked a fight with the husband for no reason. But when the NEW episode of Doctor Who came on...the whole day melted. And now I am happy.
Anyway, that's all I have for today.

Allonsy!

'ello

This is my very first blog post in years. I've had previous blogs, but their addresses have gotten lost on the interwebz and I really don't care to find them.

I don't know what I'm going to do just yet with this blog, but hopefully something fun that people will enjoy.

Allonsy!
