Oh My

Please meet Bitsy. Our not so itsy Bitsy, (she has a bit of a weight issue). Quite possibly the most precious, spoiled dog ever. She gets treated better than some children.


You don’t want to get me started.

Road Trip
Our Big Adventure

This weekend we decided to go on a road trip. Both of our kids had plans so the Mr and I went on a big adventure. We headed over the snowy pass to Seattle. Maybe not the smartest move in early spring. But oh well... We forged ahead.

When our kids were little we used to call road trips Big Adventures.

This was our first stop on our Big Adventure!    ;-) Call me happy!  The Coach outlet!!!


 

Oh my; the beauty within. This was my first visit to any Coach store. They are some wonderful purses in there. Even at an outlet it was still really expensive. (I’m pretty cheap) But I did walk out with this little number.



Our next stop was...

Seattle.

   I love to  walk around , but I really love to people watch.

You could show up in your pj’s and not brush your hair and you still wouldn’t be the weirdo.  You really see all kinds there.

 
We started here….

 
Look at just a few of the things for sale.

              

 

They have everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to flowers and handmades. But the thing is everything is just gorgeous. The vendors do a great job in displays.


 

This is the first Starbucks; I really wanted to go inside. So did the other 90,000 people there that day. We couldn’t even get in the door. I am not known for being patient, so we just enjoyed the view of the sign.

 
We had a really fun day. It seems like every time we attempt a Big Adventure it really turns into a real adventure. We had a heck of a time getting back, it was SNOWING so hard. More to come about our Big Adventure in Seattle later.

Happy Hump Day!

Cups in the mini-van
There once was a lovely young-ish wife and mother. We can call her princess, she doesn’t mind.  Princess drives a mid-level mini van, that she totally loves. It may not be right for everyone to drive a mini van. Some people have issues driving one, but the princess loves hers.
 
Princess enjoyed a good cup of coffee in the morning on her ride to the office each and every day. It was part of her routine. One Saturday morning the grumpy, grouchy Prince went to serve himself a cup of steaming hot caffeine. Well the Prince screamed asked where in the world are all of the coffee cups were. There are none in the cabinet … none in the sink. The princess innocently pretends she did not hear him and goes about reading her paper, using the lone coffee cup she was able to dig up find that morning. 
 
The Prince and the Princess have 2 mouthy lovely teenagers. The male teenager pips up with “ Dad I know where they are”…. The conversation goes as follows….
 
Prince: Where are they son?
 
Male Teenager: There are in Mom’s van
 
Prince: All of them
 
Male Teenager: Yep
 
Prince: No Way.. All of them?
 
Male Teenager: All of them!
 
And to prove his point the brat lovely male teenager promptly went out and collected 19 coffee cups from the van that the princess drives.
 
 The princess then heard something about being responsible, and if you’re going to take coffee for the drive you need to bring the cups back in the house when you get home in the evening. But she doesn’t recall much. After 20 years with the prince she has developed a wonderful skill of tuning him out.
 
Needless to say the grumpy, grouchy prince was not very pleased with his princess that morning. And the princess was not very pleased with the teenage boy who sold her out.
 
All the princess had to say was… Huh… No wonder the van makes clinking and clunking noises when I turn corners.
 
FYI….. That baby will hold a lot of crap treasures.

Holy Cow! What a game!
Yeah...Like I know...

Like I have a clue. I was to busy eating and catching up on blogs. I just heard the Mr. say what a good game it was. I just needed a reason to get together with freinds.

Hello World 2
Hello from angie aka(kal's friend)

Let me introduce myself, I am Angie.  Kal and I decided to start this web site just for fun and here we are.  We only had to wait an entire year for it but you get what you pay for I guess.  We got our web site for free thanks to the love of my life.  It did turn out really great thanks to his very talented web programmer Jim.  A shout out to JIM!!  Anyway Kal (and not as often I) will be blogging about our lives here in our small town.  We will try to inspire you with our ideas on the site and share our laughter on the blog, like our hero Timi.  So here's to blogging...

Hello...My name is Kal and I'm a coffee junkie!
Oh... and Diet Pepsi

Yes you heard me ~ I am admitting it I am a coffee caffeine junkie! I am trying to get better, but it is a struggle. I am addicted to coffee & diet pepsi.  I am so into my coffee that I designated a special corner of my kitchen just for coffee. I got the idea from the Farm Chicks on their blog.  It was so cute I had to try it!

Well I was going to post a picture of my little coffee area, but I can't figure out how to post a stupid picture. Oh well, I will post it later.

So that is my confession for the day. I am a caffeine JUNKIE! And my name is Kal. Exuse me while I go refill my cup.

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone has a great, restful weekend!

Hello Big Beautiful Blogging World!!!

Welcome to our blogs!!!!!

My name is Kal, and I have been lurking and reading blogs for a while now. I am so excited about becoming a fellow blogger!!  The other blogger you will hear from here is my great friend Angie.

To start let me tell you a bit about myself...

I am in my mid 30's. Happily married to my best friend. I have 2 great kids. I love, love, love, spending time with my family. We hang out alot. I love to go junking, and treasure hunting at second hand stores. I start my day with a great cup of coffee & the paper. I end my days with prayers of thankfulness. My life is truly blessed.

I have lived in the same small town, (Wa. state) my entire life. My kids attend the same schools I did. I am so lucky to raise my kids here. We live in a town where everybody knows everybody. And the older folks still ask " Who do you belong to?"

Please bear with me while I get used to this fabolous blog world. I hope I don't bore you right out of your socks. I'm looking forward to making friends. Please feel free to leave a comment or contact me on e-mail.

I can't wait to get started!!!
