I L.O.V.E. Spring Break!

L: Is for the Left side of my body.  The only side not sore or bruised after a day helping Farm Boy and his sweet sister with chores.

O: Is for Overeating.  Since I drove up the drive, I've eaten!  Mom made french toast for breakfast yesterday, FB's sister made great burgers for lunch, FB took me out for a really delicious dinner (I ate way too much cheesy pasta), then to top it all off Daddy made me omelets and biscuits for breakfast today.  Can anyone say spoiled!  

V: Is for the Very appreciative Holly.  She's super excited to be at my parents.  They tend to spoil her almost as much as they spoil me.  

E: Is for Entertainment.  I've gotten to see a terrific volleyball game my beautiful niece won.  Learned a lot about farm chores, including a whole lot of riding around for me.  I've even had time to see a movie, by the way Employee of the Month is super funny.

Well that's all for today.  I'm having "family day" just chilling with my parents.  Their idea of family fun currently.... Mom in bed with the Sunday paper, Dad upstairs watching car stuff on speed.  Have a lovely Sunday!  I'm off to pull mom out of bed and towards the mall. :)

Forecast: Cold with Chance of Patchy Blogging

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thursday.  Hopefully yours went better than mine.  Thank the Lord I only have to survive one more day before vacation!  I plan on taking lots of pictures and posting as I have time.  However, I've got lots planned, and blogging won't be top priority.  Sorry, hope that doesn't offend anyone. :)  What you can look forward to in future posts: my attempts at fishing, my attempts at gardening, exciting shopping with mama, and possibly some farming mishaps.  I really hope there will also be a post from Farm Boy himself, he says he wouldn't know what to say... I dunno about that.

As for tonight.  Adventurous Newlywed and I have a lot of mischief planned.  teehee  So glad I'll get to spend some time with her before I head to the very chilly Missouri.

Random!

I found this random survey and decided it'd be fun.  There are a ton of questions, so I deleted the ones I thought were stupid.  Therefore, please ignore the numbers!  Mostly because I get really tired of trying to think of things to say.  Partly because I don't really know what y'all want to know about me.  With that being said here is my post, and if you have any questions you've been dying to ask, please comment me!


1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I'm kind of named after my aunt, our names are similar.  My middle name is my mother's middle name.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I can be kind of emotional sometimes, so crying is fairly common with me.  Ask Farmboy, it really weirds him out, he never knows what to do.  I teared up earlier today watching
  Jen and Ryan's wedding highlights.  Congrats on a year guys!!

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
I like my regular handwriting, but I think my cursive looks a little like a fourth grader's.  As a teacher, it's fairly precise, no changing to make it faster or flowerier.  (is flowerier a word? no? oh well)

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Nope, but when(if) I have a daughter her middle name will be the same as mine.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
Yes, sometimes a little more than I should when second graders are concerned.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
nope, I'm too lazy.

14. RED OR PINK?
PINK!!

15. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I tend to be an over-thinker/worrier.

17. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLETE THIS LIST?
I'd like for whoever feels like fillin in random surveys to feel free to fill it in.

18. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
I'm wearing long green sweat shorts and bare feet

19. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

20. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?

21. FAVORITE SMELLS?
Farm boy's cologne, fresh cut grass, the outdoors after a hard rain

22. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
Adventurous Newlywed

24. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?

28. FAVORITE FOOD?
hmm... I like a lot of foods.... bread

29. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Happy, Farm boy is learning that scary's really not my thing

30. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
Sean of the Dead, I think.  Again Farm boy's learning gore is not my thing.

31. SUMMER OR WINTER?
Fall and spring

32. HUGS OR KISSES?
both!

36. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
at work I've got those cute dogs w/ huge heads

37. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
Mondays are the good tv night!  I had to tape House and watch Big Bang Theory and How I met your mother

39. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
Out in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship


Again, I say, please let me know if you've got anything interesting to ask.  I'm always in need of new bloggy material.  Speaking of which, I'm still trying to convince Farm boy to blog for me once while I'm with him next week.  I think it'd be funny, so hit me up with comments for him as well.

Gardening Skills

As you can probably guess, I don't have any!  Now I know what to do with the lil forky thing and the mini shovel, but keeping things alive is just not my strong suit.  Luckily this is Farm Boy's garden not mine.  He's made his plant decisions, so I thought I'd share them with you.  I will be enjoying sweet corn, carrots, leaf lettuce, squash, cantaloupe, and watermelon.  I've never eaten squash,  but I hear its a healthy alternative.  Not sure what the unhealthy alternative is exactly, but that's what I've been told.  I'm sure I'll be asking for squash ideas, but I think I'll wait til I can actually pick one before that.  He also mentioned a pawpaw, but I think that's landscaping talk not garden talk.  I've gotta find my pink gardening gloves, and all the other stuff to start packing!  I made it through Tuesday, hopefully can make it through Wednesday too.  I found out we get to leave 2 hours earlier than usual, so that should give me the push I need :)

Spring Break Excitement

I had a typical Monday, not much fun.  So, I've decided to blog about Spring Break, aka the light at the end of the tunnel!  I'm headed to Missouri for the week, leaving the minute I can get out of school Friday.  Farm Boy and I are going to visit his friends at the lake for a couple days.  While we're there we're planning on doing a little fishing as well.  Of course, FB will be baiting my hook and de-hooking any fish I may catch.  I've never caught a fish, so I think FB won't have too much extra work.  I also plan on shopping with my momma!  We usually go an hour or so away to get to the bigger mall, so that should be entertaining.  She may even decide to hook me up with a new outfit or something.  Friday night 4H is hosting a bowling night, so FB's nephew invited us to that.  I like hanging out with his family, so that could be fun too.  I'm a horrible bowler though, and his mom is in the bowling hall of fame!  I'm pretty sure she'd laugh at my bowling skills.  My dad's birthday is St. Patrick's day, so I plan on figuring out how to make corned beef and cabbage for him.  We also have to decide on FB's garden, actually I suppose he has to decide on that since it's his.  Plus really as long as I get a cantaloupe out of the deal, I'll be happy!

Wow that was a long and random blog, but I think I can make it through the week.  Or at least Tuesday :)
