Backroads with Hubby Continued

Tia took another picture. Actually, I took lots of pics that day, but I don't want to bore you to tears. Bee on a wildflower. Can't get more descriptive than that. I was just amazed that I caught the little bugger sitting still long enough for a picture.

Backroads With Hubby

No couch potato day for us :) Living in the country definitely has its advantages. Getting back to nature just means getting on down the road, and that's what my hubby and I did.

What a day we had!




Here he is checking out the local bird life.


The hubby has developed a real fondness for bird watching since we have moved. Now, if you knew him...you would never believe this is something he would get into. The man has binoculars by every door. He has his bird books and the birds that he has spotted are color coded with postie notes. The ones in our area, but not spotted yet have a different color postie note. Hubby told the guys at work that he does this, but they didn't believe him. Doesn't fit his Type-A personality. He had to take his bird books to prove it. These pics should help :)





Hubby spotted this stunning little guy. I couldn't get a real good shot. My telephoto lens has issues at the moment. ha ha! This is an Indigo Bunting, and I had never seen one before in my life. That's something, huh? The picture doesn't do the bird justice.

My daughter wants to go get a pizza, so I'll finish this post later. Pizza or posting? Hhhmmm.... See ya'll!

Lots of SNOW?? Not here...

My Handsome Hubby and I were just sitting here and decided we'd watch the news to see who's the funniest idiot standing out in the snow....
It's a weather update from Christine....blah blah blah Well.. u know it's true. Happens every time there's bad weather in the great state of Texas. On the news this evening... It snowed this afternoon a LOT. (everywhere but where I live) Started about 12.... Great reporting! M'kay this dingleberry is showing us a handful of snow. woooooo....never saw that before. They all look soooo thrilled that they have this great job. How lucky can you get? Now they're reporting about some doofus sitting in a hot tub during this nasty crap. Here's the token snowman.....oooo it's a Tony Romo snowman! Now that's excitement right there!
What I want to know is where's our snow? Seems like everyone around us got at least 4 inches. We got nada. Nothing but nasty ass cold rain, which makes nasty ass mud....bleh! I want snow damn it! Dang Denton! I think they stole it all....
Weather man again......
"Wow....we got a lot of snowfall.. 5 to 6 inches almost every where around the metroplex." I can't tell you how much that thrills me....
Total BS for our little town. Which by the way, to get more snow is one of the reasons I moved further north! So I am really pissed! I was so excited that we might finally get a decent snowfall. Once again...we're in the "no fun and no snow day" zone. Waaaaaaaa!

Canton Was Awesome

What a way to lose the blahs! I had two spectacular days in a row. Today was spent at First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas. Bow down to the funnel cake. Love 'em! I'm going to be running around the pasture tomorrow working that off, but I really don't care. WORTH IT! If you've never been, you seriously don't know what you're missing. I could wander around that place forever if my feet would allow it. My dogs are barking for sure. The junk and treasures to be found and the FOOD. Something for everyone. There's even a place called DogTown for the animal lovers. Me...I'm checking out the linens, candles and antiques. And the plants, and the jewelry. My hubby he goes for the sunglasses, hats, knives, and guns. It's heaven on earth for the guys, too. We got a smokin' deal on a new saddle pad for our Rowdy. Woo Hoo :) Did I mention the frozen cappuccinos or turkey legs? I can't wait 'til next month!



My only warning....watch out for the crazy cart people. I got my toe run over today....

Anal Glaucoma

I got a bit of new terminology thrown at me this week. Everyday my significant other comes home with a story for me. This one happened to be pretty dang funny. It made me giggle anyway.

"Jo Blo (name changed to protect the not so innocent) called me this morning, and he told me he had a case of anal glaucoma. I said, 'anal glaucoma? What's that?' He said, 'Yep. anal glaucoma. I don't see my ass coming in today!"

If I ever go back to work out of the home, I'm keeping that one in my phrase repertoire.

Case of The BLAHS

Just feeling blah and bleh. Maybe it's because I didn't have to chase any MooMoos out of my yard today. OR maybe it's because I got dumped once again for someone's job. I'm not resentful. Oh No, never, not me! Okay...I'm pissed!

Hubby asked me if I wanted to go to Canton on Friday. I've wanted to go for a long time, so yep, I was all over that. Looking forward to browsing through all the junk looking for just the right treasure to take home. I love that crap! He comes home yesterday and announces that they scheduled a meeting for Friday that he asked for. Of course he feels obligated to attend and no he can't reschedule. Ehhhh (big frown or snarl). Once again, I get the shaft.
