We're Going Home

Wow! We had such an exciting weekend! We went to the rodeo this weekend. It was a few hours of a drive. But my hubby and I really wanted to come. :) So we came. We don't get to go to a lot of rodeos anymore. So we really took advantage of the opportunity.

All of our friends are here. And it was really fun to be able to just hangout and have a good time. But sadly, our fun weekend has come to an end. We're on our way home. Yup, right now. But it was still a really fun weekend! I hope that we get to go to Vegas this year too!

Well, I'm typing this on my phone. So that's it folks! It's not really easy to blog from your phone. I hope you had a good weekend. I know we did. It might take the entire week for me to recover. :) ~Chels

Papa Loved Mama

I heard this song tonight. I really liked this song when I was young. I'm not completely sure why. But I did. I think it's because I liked to dance to this song. I've never been a Garth Brooks fan. But I really liked this song. So I went to YouTube to find a video. Surprisingly, I couldn't find a good one. So I found this video. But this is the song. ~Chels

Horse and Heart Bracelet

While doing some shopping for my friends, I came across this beauty. I was actually trying to find a gift for Lola's birthday. And I found this instead. I just love it! I love that the bracelet chain has horseshoes in it too! And it's only $15 plus shipping here. Now if I could only buy it... ~Chels

Happy Birthday

What a day! Today is Lola's birthday. She's such a good friend. In fact, she is the one that set up my hubby and I! Happy Birthday Lola! And the twins were also born. How cool is that? Manders is such a trooper. I seen her earlier this week. She just wanted to have those babies!

3 very important people are celebrating their birthdays today. Happy Birthday from the Honky Tonk couple! We love you all! ~Chels

Rope 'Em Earrings

I was doing a little "online window shopping" on Etsy today. I found these earrings! Aren't they cute? I so want them. And about 10 other things from Hot Chick Physic's shop. She has some really cute things. At very reasonable prices. Heck, these earrings are only $6. I really want them. Can you tell my hubby? Do you have any favorite Etsy shops? Let me about them. ~Chels

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day! I almost forgot to wear green today. Then my hubby reminded me when he made green pancakes for breakfast. Yes, green pancakes!

Tonight, we're going to go see some of our friends play at WD. Our friends have a band...the BBs. And tonight, they're playing in a nearby city. So a bunch of us are going to go see them. It should be a lot of fun! I can't wait to just enjoy myself. I'm still dying from all the work we did over past weekend.

Have a nice day! But be responsible. You know, you want to enjoy St. Patty's Day. But not over do it, and then regret it in the morning. So round up your friends and have a good time! ~Chels

I Hurt...Everywhere!

I really do! Every muscle, every bone...they all hurt! My hubby and I worked so hard on our yard this past weekend. But it looks nice. The sods is gorgeous! Our entire yard looks amazing. With just sod! :)

We also planted our trees and rose bushes. And some flowers that I bought. There weren't many, so I really spread them out. But all weekend, we were out in our yard. The dogs really enjoyed it. My Hubby and I are so proud of ourselves. I'm glad we started with the "bones."

My hubby even left me a little corner. In the sunniest part of the yard. For my garden. Now I just need to find time to start it. It's not that I don't appreciate my hubby's help. I just want this to be my project. You know, he's working on so many things already. I just want to do something to add to our household. Do you understand?

So that sums up our weekend. We worked on yard work. Our dirt yard is now covered in green sod. I've got beautiful roses bushes. They really do make me smile! And now, I'm researching small gardens. Life is good! ~Chels

I Want a Garden

I've been wanting a small garden. Nothing fancy. But something I can keep up with. And I want it to be my project. I mentioned it to my hubby the other day. And right away, he started drawing pictures and making diagrams. Making it a lot more complicated than I'd like. So I'm going to Lowe's tomorrow. Alone. Hopefully, I don't get too overwhelmed.

I want to grow a small patch of flowers like these. Aren't they pretty? I don't care what kind of flowers. Just as long as they're colorful!



And some veggies. Oh and strawberries. I want to grow something we can use. Do you know what I mean? And if it works out, maybe next year, hubby can make us some of these raised beds. :)



Because I really want some of this yummy goodness! There is nothing better than fresh fruit and veggies!



So that's my plan. To go do some research tomorrow. To see if it's better to go with plants or seeds. To see what is good for our area. I don't know if I'll buy anything tomorrow. But I do want to start researching. Around here, you're supposed to plant between April and May. I'm a little scared. But I'm also excited! If you have any advice, please leave it in the comments. I can use all the help I can get. ~Chels

Girl Scout Cookies

I've really been wanting some Girl Scout cookies. Really badly. But around here, you don't ever see Girl Scouts. Ever! Where are they? So I asked around. And I got a number for the local troop. I called, and the lady took down our address. She promised to come by. That was almost 2 weeks ago! Ugh! I really, really want some cookies. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know if they sale the cookies online? I really want a few boxes. ~Chels

I Didn't Mean to Turn You On

Do you remember this song? "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On," by Robert Palmer. My hubby and I heard it the other night. We were jamming to 80s music. They were doing a special show on the radio. It was a nice change of pace. But this song, it made us both laugh. Ya, we grew up during the 80s and 90s. This song still puts a smile on my face. I remember the music video too! I wanted to look like one of those ladies. Crazy! But I really like the song and the music video. ~Chels
