Circus on Wheels!

So today I blog from a remote place. Helping the hubby put up ceiling fans in a subdivision next to us. He had 3 to do and I'm here for back up. I  am afraid of heights so I help carry the 14 foot ladder and hand him things. As of right now I am waiting for instruction soIwill talk to you all.

Apparently a wire was still hot and it sparked. He dropped pliers and I screamed. He stayed firm on 14 foot. I wanted to go lie down. Wrong screws in fan..run back to house for spares..

Two fans down. The other one a no go.  Ceiling was 20 feet. Have to rent a ladder for that one. 

Taking the other ladder back that we borrowed. Strap fell out of truck. I hop out at light... Hubby almost runs over foot.
  

Feeling like today isn't really going all that well. Lol 
Made it home. Have to run out again. Forgot to drop off Redbox while we were out. After that I am putting us in a self appointed time out. 

Always an adventure with us. Wouldn't trade it. Circus on wheels!

Peace, Candy

Singer life

So I'm sitting here at band practice and we are working on a new song. The two guitarist are going over this one part n the keys n bass are joining in too. Me not playing an instrument, I pulled up a stool and am writing to you all. 

Love my band. There are two of us gals that don't play anything  and just sing. This especially works out good when we do gigs out. We just kind of show up. Now of course if anyone of them needs help on carrying things  back and forth we do try to help. You gotta be careful touching a musicians things though. You do not want to get beheaded if you mess something up. Very expensive equipment dontcha know? 

Seriously though I have the best band members. I think that's why we have been at it for seven years. We truly like each other. That's really important because we spend alot of time together. If I have told you this before I apologize. But maybe I just need to give them a shout out again. To all my band bro's and sisters...YOU ROCK!

O I guess it's my turn to look alive and actually participate in the song. 

Peace, Candy

Confetti

So I'm writing out birthday cards. The month of July is crazy. I think I might have told you that before. I have a special drawer for my stationary. Yes, I still have stationary and cards. I even have a box with dividers to separate the cards for different holidays.  I also have a large bag That has quite a few Ziploc sandwich bags full of different kinds of confetti. Everyone knows to open a card from me carefully. Sometimes I try to mess with you a little and I won't put it in every single holiday card.  Then I send you a card and it's BOOM! I'm back. My hubby calls it glitter.  One of my friends opens cards from me over the trashcan.

 It's really fun when I  meet new people. 

One time my friend, who lives in Oregon, was saying how much she missed the beach. She had made three trips here to Florida the year before. I thought I would cheer her up by sending her some sand. Turns out she just got her carpets cleaned and there was Florida sand all over. I found it funny. I don't think she did as much. I don't know when I started with the confetti. I remember even as a teen writing out cards and having all sorts of stationary. I actually have confetti for every holiday and some that isn't for any holiday.

 You never know what you are going to get. So if you get a card from me… Be on the look out. You never know when I may strike!

Rest

What a weekend. I am exhausted! Sometimes you look forward to Monday to rest up from the swirl of activities that you just were part of. Two birthday parties, a car show and NOW (Night of Worship) Movie and dinner with friends. Also, adding in picking up and hanging out with my two grandsons both Friday and today. Now I am not complaining. I am very blessed to be surrounded by such great people. I am however thinking that besides my walk and a the basic house chores, I may take a small nap. I say this while smiling because this in theory sounds good but probably won't happen. 

As for tonight I will hit the sack. I hope everyone has a great night. and more importantly a great week. Take some time for yourself whether it be a hot bath or a nice walk. Pick out a new polish or get a pedicure. If your really busy maybe read or thumb through a magazine for just a few minutes. Whatever you do enjoy your time out. 

Peace, Candy

A Little of Everything............

So today it's finally happening. I am going to a rubber room. Don't get excited people, it's a birthday party for a 5 year old that takes place in a room that you can bounce everywhere. Trampoline room if you will. I know some of you were probably very excited that they finally caught up to me and my craziness. Nope sorry still roaming the streets bringing joy and sometimes misery to all of you. 

Last night we went to the movies and my 12 year old said me and my friends, (my sis and bro inlaw and his father) were being too loud. The movie hadn't started yet and we were talking about all the upcoming movies we would like to see. Too loud. Funny coming from my loudest child.

Yesterday I also had two of my grandsons. Man, they are so fun. Tired us out though. They are quick like ninja's. I love them so much. At almost two and nine months, you could just sit back and watch them and be entertained. (This is of course if someone else is actually watching them as well) 

Today my hubby celebrates his 46th birthday. Our gifts to eachother (my bday is in September) will be our cruise. Can't wait. Less then two months away now.

Ok time to go wrap a gift and get ready to bounce...literally............

Peace, Candy

Being a Mimi

So today I'm getting things done around the house because tomorrow I'm meeting my daughter to pick up two of my grandsons. Her youngest is nine months old and just got into a big boy car seat yesterday. Her oldest, my first grandson will be two at the end of this month. What good boys they are. I don't even mind when GRB 1 ignores me when he gets to the house because Papa is in view. He will literally make a beeline to the garage to see my hubby. I think that is so cute. I love being a grandma. They are right in what they say. There's something special about being a grandparent. I'm hoping that since I been getting exercise I can keep up with them some more. Hehe
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Remember to stop in the moment and appreciate all your blessings.

Peace, Candy
 
Here is 3 out of the 4 watching Monsters Inc.

Early bird or Night owl.....

I am a night owl. Not a morning person. That would be my husband. He wakes up talking. Me...not so much. I will paint the kitchen at 3 am while pregnant though. I am up and what else is there to do? Some of my best ideas have came at night. It's 11:22 and I am just now writing this to you. On a mission to get it in before midnight. I don't know why really? But thats how I roll so here ya go.........

I don't mind the mornings but I really just can't wrap my head around just getting up raring to go. I think it's crazy and should be a law that no one should be up that early fully functioning. It's just not right. Now that I think of it, I bet it was someone like me who invented coffee. =) 

When we travel my hubby drives in the day and I take the night shift. Even though I have good vision I don't see all that well at night. But I still like to drive because it's peaceful. AKA all the kids are sleeping and I can just jam out to my Madonna Greatest Hits cd. Yes, that is my traveling music. Yes, I just said that out loud. 

I am pretty sure all my kids our night owls too.  Actually as I am typing my hubby and youngest are playing a video game. Party house here tonight.

Ok well I think will go load the dishwasher. Didn't have time before practice. Again, the fun never stops here. 

Peace, Candy
