Survivor Update #6

the first victims of survivor...i'm shocked that sugar believed kenny... i dont think that was their best move, Not sure how they plan to win challenges with a pinup model, computer game player, a supposed olympic athelete, and matty. Luckily for them it looked like the merge will happen next week. I'm not like corinne or randy...I would like to see them go next.

9 WORDS/PHRASES WOMEN USE

I got this in a forward today...thought it was all too true

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, so do not question or faint. Just say you're welcome. (This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'Whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying 'up yours'!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3

getting ready for halloween

we are finally getting ready for halloween, no costume party for us this year...i'm sad, especially seeing all the fun halloween pictures everyone has been posting. i'm excited to actually hand out candy this year. we closed on our house last year on halloween- but the neighborhood didnt really know we lived here so we only got a few trick or treaters, this year i am expecting alot more. we carved our pumpkin tonight and audrey has her devil costume all set. I went to buy the native american baby costume and they were all sold out, everywhere i looked. i'll post some pics of all the dogs and audrey on halloween. Audreys daycare is doing a parade too- so i will atleast get to go to that.

it snowed in PA today...we got about 1-2 inches this morning but by 5 most of it had melted away. i couldnt believe it though- it was so nice! i realized by living here how much i love and miss snow.

Halloween

i'm taking a vote...what should audrey be for halloween? i bought her a little onesie outfit, simple, red with a tail and horns and it says 'my lil devil' on it- however i'm thinking i want something else.

she could be a hot pepper like this:














or a native american girl:














what do you think?

this is for her daycare parade and for giving out candy from our house...she isnt actually trick or treating this year...

Survivor Update #3

Dumb people as usual on survivor...do you think they edit all that to make the viewers mad? I mean kelly did nothing in the challenge, kenny did even less and they vote off the person who actually did something in the challenge...

Hatfield = animals

so most people know we used to live in west bumf*k, NY....lived out in the country where you would *think* animals aplenty.... well we moved to the North suburbs of philadelphia and I didnt think we would encounter the zoo. This weekend we had two sightings/adventures. Reminder that a few months ago we had some groundhog fiascos and we saw a fox once in the woods...well saturday late morning we saw 3 deer slowly meandering behind our fence...pretty cool to see- nothing crazy there. but we never even saw deer in our yard in portville. so i was impressed. sighting #1
sighting #2 - sunday morning audrey woke us up at 7 ish. i fed her and was hoping she would fall back asleep...she didnt so at about 8:15 ryan got up and took her downstairs. I went back to bed. about 2 minutes after ryan left i heard our lovely poms barking in the backyard- no shock there. well then i heard murphy bark and the poms were getting more and more crazy with their barking. so i knew something was wrong. my first thought was oh great they got a squirrel. so i go into the bathroom and open the window to see whats going on. they are barking at a tree just outside the fence. Then i see a black tail and thought it was a squirrel, only then do i see the huge raccoon body attached to the tail. it was crawling down the tree (6 inches from the fence) towards the dogs. I go screaming down the stairs for ryan to go out and get the dogs. luckily ryan got the dogs to come inside and the raccoon went running off into the woods. I hope it wasnt rabid or that it comes back. it was atleast twice the size of linus.
I would have expected any of this where we used to live but not at our new house.

weekend

picturesque















and while shopping on sunday I found Native Gnomes! how perfect!















I also got my license plate on my car- I have been noticing ALOT of pennsylvanians have these tacky airbrush plates...thank god becky got me this so now I can fit in :)

New Haircut

I got a new haircut and highlights today- i'm loving it... Audrey Loves it too :)

ipod nano

I got a cute new lime green ipod nano today...its a belated birthday present. Happy Birthday to me :)

Apples and Football

This weekend we went up to syracuse for the SU-Penn State Football game at the Dome. Syracuse was crushed. but it was cool to go to the dome for a football game, i had never been before. Only basketball games. it was soooo hot that day and i had only brought my new Syracuse sweatshirt. i think i was the only person in the whole dome in kelly green :) There were tons of penn state fans too. we sat in front of the most annoying people in the world- they were wearing orange and are season ticket holders but the bitched and moaned about the SU team from the second it started. Every play they made some comment on how bad or dumb the coaches, players were. I'm surprised they didnt complain about Ottos running technique. I wanted to turn around and ask them why the bother coming every week if they are just going to complain the whole time. And the woman sounded just like rachel dratch from SNL. ugh. Syracuse was losing so bad that by half time 90% of the student section was gone and ~50% of the rest of the stadium was cleared by the end of the third quarter. we left shortly after that too. Dennis Quaid and 2 other actors from the new movie 'the express' did the coin toss and a little speech at half time. that was cool.

Saturday morning before the game we went apple picking too. we got lots of apples and raspberries. Made me feel green :)

Here are the pics from the weekend

Go Bills...or Eagles!

Audrey and Dad watching football.

Audrey was wearing her bills outfit- however we couldn't watch the bills game here, so she cheers for the eagles too. they both won yesterday - So she was happy.

we got alot done this weekend- we put up alot of our organization stuff in the garage. i'm hoping to get our college beer fridge into the garage so our kitchen doesn't look like a dorm room anymore. we went and bought a new table/bench for our kitchen. we have one wall that was pretty bare and non-functional so we went to ikea and got a very nice table with drawers. and it stores our recyclable stuff too.














we spent our saturday night putting it together. then we watched 'the greatest game ever played' it was a golf movie with shia labeouf. it was pretty good. we didn't get everything done i wanted to but we did okay.

weight watchers

so i bit the bullet and finally went back to weight watchers wednesday night...besides my pregnant time- this is the most i have ever weighed in my life. so after a year of not counting points i have started again. I'm hoping it wont be as hard to lose weight as i feel its going to be :)

and what does my loving husband (of 4 years now) do to help support my new embarkment of weight loss? he buys 3-1/2 gallons of ice cream...while i am at my first ww meeting no less. in his defense he did buy me some ww ice cream bars - only 2 points each. and one of the 1/2 gallons was no sugar added.

island beach state park

On saturday we trekked over to NJ to see the ocean. the day was perfect- sunny and warm but not too too hot. I forgot how much fun the ocean is to swim in. i rode the waves, they smashed me into the sand over and over, got lots of saltwater in my eyes, ears, and mouth. it was awesome! We took audrey into the ocean just a teeny bit- after that video stopped ryan was sitting on the edge of the water still holding her and a big wave came and splashed audrey- she really started screaming then. she was so good other than that though. she slept the whole car ride home. We are definately going to the shore more often.

Pictures

i love the ocean!

Audrey...not so much
