RAMBLINGS

I am here at work(on my lunch). I got the most wonderful pic on my email.

If you look down at the bottom there is Elliot's feetprints. Renee' took him out there and he walked all up and down the driveway. YES WE FINALLY GOT OUR 2ND DRIVEWAY. Our visitors won't have to park in the narrow street. YEA!! I hated it for our vistitors. And then Renee' said look what else I did. She wrote our last name, the year and not shown is Elliot name. Oh we will be etched in stone.. I love that! Well that is all for right now!

EASY!






Good Saturday morning! How are all of my peeps? What my one peep that reads my blog? I woke up about 10 - 15 minutes late this morning. I wasn't going to get to take Elliot out to the potty but he forced himself out side. I was going to have to let hazel out . We are helping out
my best friend Amy's mom. They are taking a 'mini vacation" and the dog gets to go out in the morning and brought back in at night. Anyways Renee' was nice and said that she and Tres would go over there and let her out and etc.
Yes I said Tres he gets to stay the weekend with us. It is Renee' and himself all day today. We will see how they both like that tonight. Tres was lots of fun last night, I use to get sad that I haven't had kids (and I am almost 38, overweight and now prospects) but I am so glad Lisa Ann shares with us and my other friends that share with me!! I.E. Maycee and Lyndon! My cute little red headed kids.

I read an article in the graham leader today. It was titled "BURGLARS MAKE IT EASY ON POLICE"


Graham and Olney police brought a burglary ring to an end this week thanks in large part to a criminal who made it easy.Tommie McAnear, 22, of Olney confessed to burglary and forgery when he was invited to interview for a part-time police dispatcher job with the Olney Police Department.He also implicated his brother, Jeremie McAnear, 29, of Graham in the crimes while he was at it.The two men were arrested and confessed to more than 12 burglaries in the Graham area and three more in Olney. The burglaries began in early June and centered around the downtown area of Graham. The suspects forced entry in most instances and their focus was primarily cash.
The burglarized buildings, some of which were hit twice by the duo, include Oak Street Baptist Church, Oasis of Grace Church, Young County Appraisal District, the Orr Building including 14 different offices burglarized, Farmers Milling, Duncan’s Used Cars, Classic Cleaners, Quick Slick Lube, Air-Smart, the snow cone stand on Highway 16 South, Olney High School and Cub Cleaners.The police seized upon an unusual opportunity to capture the crooks when a cashier’s check and a job application crossed their paths earlier this week.The cashier’s check stolen from Oak Street Baptist turned up when Tommie McAnear cashed it at Stewart’s Food Store in Olney. The clerk, being suspicious of the check, asked to see McAnear’s driver’s license and recorded the information. The check came back for non-payment because it had been reported to the bank as stolen and was then turned over to Olney police.Olney Police Chief Randall Davis recognized the name from a job application he had received for a dispatcher position with his department. Naturally, he was very interested in interviewing the man.When Tommie McAnear showed up for the interview, the questions asked were not those typically asked of a prospective employee.Instead, he was interviewed by Graham Police Investigator Jeff Smith, Olney Police Sgt. Dwayne Jackson and Davis about the forgery to which he confessed and also named his brother as an accomplice.“These guys can’t be confused for criminal masterminds,” said Davis.He and Graham Chief Jim Nance were both pleased with the results of the cooperative effort between the two departments.“I’m real proud that these downtown burglaries are solved. They were beginning to be a thorn in my side. I think (the departments) did an excellent job on it,” said Nance.
I am glad they found the people, but can we be any dumber and easier to catch??? Oh and guess what they are working on our driveway maybe soon we will have a bigger one and won't it be awesome if Elliot can walk in the cement???

Ramblings for Wednesday






Hi Everyone!! Today was my day off. We went over to Poolville to pick up a baby bed for my mom's friend that is going to be a grandma again. The crib seemed pretty nice it just needs to be painted. Then we went and got our hair cuts. Heard lots of gossip but nobody I knew. Funny huh? We went and bought a new camera (finally we wont have to carry around the one with the tape on it.) It has rained, rained and rained some more. It has been good. We have really needed it. The night before (in Begin) Shawn Johnson finally won her a Gold Medal and I am not talking about flour!!!:)
We watch Shear Genius, I never thought I would like the reality shows. But I will say that this weeks show they really kicked off the wrong one. Daniel was 90 times better than Nicole. She had won the challenge before so she had immunity. So they couldn't kick her off. But that snow all in the girls hair that was not smart.

Well it is time to go to bed. GOOD NIGHT! Lisa OH AND GUESS WHAT!! MAY AND WALSH WON THERE 2ND GOLD MEDAL! CONGRATS GIRLS!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELI!!!!!

I can't believe you are 17 today!! I still remember getting the call to tell me that my Aunt had my baby cousin. And next Monday you will start the last year of high school. Oh my how time flies!! Lisa

Tuesday Ramblings!

Goodmorning All! It is Tuesday morning and I haven't done alot since the last time I posted.
I do believe Alicia Sacramonne (sp) should have gotten Bronze in her Vaulting. She didn't fall on her butt like the one that recieved the Bronze metal! That is so wrong!


Then you have Nastia Lukin tie with the chinesse girl. And she wins silver go figure! Her routine looked pretty flawless to the other little girl that bobbled on her landing. But that is that! Oh and We can't forget MICHAEL PHELPS AND HIS 8 GOLD MEDALS! That is so cool!



It rained alot yesterday but it really hasn't rained much this morning. We slowly but surley will get our spare bedroom done and that scrapbook room. I can't wait until that is done. Renee' can scrap anywhere but I have to have a table to spread out and everthing. We started painting the desk for the scrapbook room.

Here is one of the drawers not a really good picture but you have the idea that it is brown. The big part of the desk is pretty big and we have got to move it out of the room outside under the carport and with it raining it isn't a smart thing. Which we will paint it pink. So maybe tomorrow on my day off Renee' and I can get it moved out there. We have to move the dresser in to the middle room and paint it. That is the dresser I got for free at a leftover garage sale.

Here is our house numbers, they were green but we are slowly but surley going to get all the trim and stuff around the house brown. Numbers look sharp huh? I guess I am done for today.

YES! YES! DDP w/vanilla!




Good Morning!! Michael Phelps has 7 gold medals for the 2008 olympics. We should know by tonight if he is going to get to bring 8 gold medals home with him.

I was glad to see him be excited last night, I have noticed he doesn't have much emotion when he wins or when he is getting a medal. I think it is because he is concentrating on winning that he doesn't take the time to be excited. Actually I really don't know so it probably really isn't my place to analyze him huh?...

Well guess what Sonic had DDP this morning!! So I had my diet Dr.Pepper with vanilla and the day is complete!

Today is August 16Th the day Elvis died. I still remember my mama picking us up from day care early. She was so upset and crying, she says it was because her grandma had passed away not so far from then and it was just everything. Well I think it was Elvis! She really liked that man... I guess it was one of those "young girl" crushes..

NO DDP with Vanilla??

Goodmorning! Well I first have to say Oh my Gosh what is wrong with Sonic!! They didn't have my Diet Dr. Pepper this morning! So I can't fuction without my ddp with vanilla. UGH! These olympics are going to kick my butt. I was up till midnight last night watching the gymnastics. I just love gymnastics. Believe it or not I did gymnastics when I was a little girl. I like the uneven bars, I don't figure I did really good but I liked doing them. I love watching them now. Some of them do do it like it isn't hard at all.

Congrats to our Gold and silver Natsia and Shawn ya rock!!! Okay what we say about Michael Phelps and he is up to number 6? Two more runs for two more golds we will see if he makes it.

I seen on the internet this morning that Dave Coulier spoke out about Alanis Morissette. So appartley he is admiting that the "song" was about him. I just can't imagine Bull winkle and her together. Okay for each his own!!

Comedian Dave Coulier says people oughta know there's no bad blood between him and ex Alanis Morissette.Can you believe these stars dated?Coulier best known as goofy Uncle Joey on ABC's Full House is the inspiration behind Morrisette's 1995 angst-ridden anthem "You Oughta Know."He says he was driving when he first heard the tune."I said, 'Wow, this girl is angry.' And then I said, 'Oh man, I think it's Alanis,'" Coulier tells the Calgary Herald. "I listened to the song over and over again, and I said, 'I think I have really hurt this person.'"Inundated with press calls, he says he tried to get a hold of her and eventually got through."I said, 'Hi. Uh, what do you want me to say?'" he recalls. "And she said, 'You can say whatever you want.'"Eventually, he says, "we saw each other and hung out for an entire day. And it was beautiful. It was one of those things where it was kind of like, 'We're good.'"

Well I think that is it for today!! Over and out! Lisa

Tuesday!


Hello everyone on this Tuesday morning! It was actually pretty nice this morning, it wasn't that terribly Texas hot like normal. I had a late night last night, I stayed up and watched the gymnastics. I will have to say the guys look at little odd doing the floor competitions but they are all are pretty good. I was so proud of our guys getting Bronze I loved how happy they all looked. I love the being an American! So hopefully the girls will do equally well or better. I need to get back to work. It is hard to be the only one in the office, my mind wonders and I have no one to talk to. UGH! But I love this job I do and I really do LOVE IT!
Over and out!! Lisa

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!


Hello! We finally got our ceiling fan and light put up in our living room. I have wanted one in there since we moved in at the end of May. I know it takes a while, and I finally found an electrician off of my free cycle page. His wife is one of the members of free cycle and I had posted a need for an electrician so she told me her husband was. Well she tells me his name and etc and I call him. Well he comes over and Lordy lordy I am old. I was his manager at McDonald's when he was 16 and he is now 27 maybe that was a while ago. I have been gone from that place for 8 years and I don't miss working in fast food at all. I have such a respect for the ones that do. Hungry people aren't friendly and some are hard to take care of. Okay now since we have got our electrical things taken care of. Now we have 2 more projects to take care of. We need to finish our middle bedroom, we need to refinish this dresser that we got for free at a garage sale last Saturday. I say it was at a garage sale, she gave all of her stuff away that didn't sale. So we got a dresser we will ( i say we, I am sure nee' will) paint the dresser. OUR SCRAPBOOK ROOM and our patio and we will be done with the stuff that we want to do to the house. Oh and I guess paint the outside of the house this winter. I guess we will never be done huh? Well I need to hush.
