No ATV for You!...

My new computer finally got here and I’m in LOVE! I’ve been soo bad about even getting online because I’ve been playing Sims3 every chance I get. I love the customizable options, but I miss not having my doggies. I have definetly have to get some more hair styles, but for the most part I’m happy with the ’stock’ items for now. Well, I gotta download an Explorer for me and then we’ll be good. Yesterday DJ and I tried to get a four wheeler, but we were turned down because DJ has two outstanding bills, and I have no income in my...

Spray Paint and Vampires...

I just got back inside from attempting to spray paint the iron rails we have on our porch. They’re the loopy little scroll work ones, and a BITCH to paint. I bought two cans of paint and didn’t even get one of them done! Of course, I’ve never attempted to spray paint a thing in my life, but I thought I’d get more out of it than 2/3 of a rail. Oh well, maybe it was because they were rusty and black and I was half ass sanding them and painting them a moss green. We also need new shutters, and I think I may get them in the same color green. Our house...

I’m Bored...

I’ve realized how boring my life is nowadays. I get up and feed and dress everyone, then I sit my ass on the computer and play games for a while. Maybe I’ll go outside at some point (after I make lunch) and ride around a bit on the four wheeler with the kids or go to town and spend money that I don’t have just because I want something to do. Then I cook, feed everyone a big supper, get everyone undressed and into pj’s, grab a shower, and watch a bit of tv or back online to play Farmville. God, I’m so boring! Don’t get me wrong, everyone...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!...

LJ’s question of the day was: Do you plan on celebrating St. Patrick’s Day? If so, how? What memories and feelings do you associate with this holiday? Uh, YES! I’m Irish and damn proud of it, so I’ll of course be celebrating. I’ve been dressed in my Guinness clothes, hat, and flip flops all day and both of my boys are in their green, lol. I’ve made vanilla mint cupcakes with green buttercream frosting and a tray of lime jello shots. I plan on putting the boys to bed tonight and getting loose! I’ve had some of best parties on...

We’re Here and well, that’s ...

Well, there isn’t much to update on my end. We all pretty much got over our sinus/allergy deals and feel better. Brandon is cutting more teeth (STILL!) and has a slight fever, but nothing bad at all. Mama is on a 2nd antibiotic after she had a reaction to the first one, and is doing slightly better. Her doctor told her that he’d put her in the hospital Monday if she hadn’t improved any. She’ll be okay, though. She’s exhausted atm because she just got home from dialysis and it always wipes her out. I received my copy of The Sims 3, now I am...

Not So Good...

Well, today has been horrible. Brandon started throwing up last night around nine and continued to throw up all through the night. He has no fever, and not many bowel movements, but he’s still sickly. So, DJ had to get up a lot with him during the night because I simply could not get up and pick him up and change sheets/clothes. I ended up still getting up three times, but he slept today for a long time to catch up. He doesn’t seem sick today, so I’m crossing my fingers and hoping it was just a 24 hour bug. My lower back has eased off some, but my left...

RIP Dell...

I’m in mourning for my old Dell laptop. I spilled an entire glass of tea on it last night and fried it. I swear, I’m going to die without it. I’m all emo and whiny because it’s the only thing my Sims would work on well. I found out that today when I installed all of my expansions and loaded up the game only to have 800×600 resolution. The graphics card on the desktop won’t handle it at all. :/ Not to even mention my pictures and music that my lazy ass never backed up. Wtg, Ellie.. wtg....

Nothing Much of an Update...

Ah, it’s been a pretty uneventful week around here. I’ve been running back and forth with the DSS office getting stuff together, after stupid people won’t answer their phones and never heard of returning calls. I’ve been in the mood to want to bake lately, but I just don’t have the umph to get off my butt and get started. I also want to work more on my website and at least make a sub domain for my baking. I did make a fan page on FB, though: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bennettsville-SC/Ellie-Bakes/275569702242 ADD ME IF YOU LOVE ME....

Orange Glows are NOT Good...

Ah, let me tell you, I about crapped all over myself the night before last. We have a gas wall unit on my end of the house to heat with. Mama’s end has a custom built wood heater that my Daddy made, but she’s using electric heaters because of her oxygen. Anyway, we’ve been having major problems with Jonathan messing with the gas heater, and he decided to cut it off. Well, there was carbon around the pilot light and once it was cut off it wouldn’t come back on. So, we put Jonathan to bed and DJ started trying to get the heater lit. I went back in the...

Just Call Me Cinderella...

Well, I’ve pretty much spent my morning cleaning this disaster of a house up. I still have a mountain and a half of clothes to wash/dry/fold, but at least I made a start. I try to have the house at least halfway decent on weekends that Damian comes because it’s a holy terror of a mess once he and JJ are added to the mix. I am honestly making an effort to update this blog, which is hard for me now because I’m so out of the motions of updating daily. I need to add content today, so hopefully I’ll get to that. I also have to reinstall Photoshop on this...
