Tids-N-Bits - 8

I've been at the sewing machine again. Ok, granted, this didn't take but a few minutes.....but I needed one and it was easy to do (thanks to Tricia's instructions @ Zoo So Silly).

Its my bag of bags:

It goes with my "cow theme" kitchen/dining room.

So, I've gone over my allotted amount of visits to the chiropractor that my insurance will allow. Because I guess after so many visits my neck and back should be fixed.....because ongoing therapy is stupid??? Apparently! So, I had to quit going because.....well, not to keep complaining about money....but......yeah, it takes money!

But, a friend of mine was getting rid of stuff a couple of weeks ago....and so I went through the stuff in her car before she could dump it at Goodwill (because yeah, I'm not ashamed to 'dumpster dive' - ok, maybe I should be....but oh well)....anywhoo.......I got this handy little gadget.....the Massage Mouse:

I LOVE it! It works pretty good. Maybe it can at least get me through til next year when my pitiful insurance takes over again.....(I didn't get that guy with it!....that would have been nice though, huh?)

I also got a Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit game and some Legos.

On a side note....affordable healthcare sure would be dandy!!! Just sayin........

OH OH OH......Look what else Zander and I got given to us from a friend this weekend.....





We are so blessed. We have to get a group of suckers helpful people to help move it. My wonderful BIL, John, will lead the charge in getting it moved. Then I will need to power wash it and stain it. Then hopefully we can get all the swings, slide, pirate ship wheel, tarp etc....for Z's birthday and Christmas.



I'm so excited because I really wanted one of these wooden swingsets for Z but I knew it was not in my budget. This will require some work and lots of elbow grease....but so worth it!!!


Z played on it last night when we went to look at it and was SOOOO tired he went to sleep at 6:30. OH YEAH!!! That's what I'm talking about. There is a great story behind this swingset too.....so I can't wait to refinish it and post the pics and the story!!!!

On a sad note, my desktop bit the dust last week. It got a virus.....I tried to fix it....but I got the dreaded BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)



The above pic is not the EXACT error I got, but lets just say....IT DOESN'T MATTER....ITS NOT GOOD REGARDLESS!!! My friend's friend, IT Guy, looked at it for me....and after the hard drive start making clicking and grinding noises....well, he determined it was toast!!!! So, now I get to rebuild my desktop computer with a bigger better hard drive, and while I've got it all open, I'm going to add more memory. Both are fairly inexpensive, at least more inexpensive than I thought it would be.....and I'm justifying it because my job is letting us work from home 2 days a month now on a trial period....and I really want to be able to do this. I have the laptop....but I think my laptop would be slow.....and I just don't see me typing on a laptop for 8 hours.

Look at this little cutie that was in my backyard the other day......he let me get pretty close to take his picture....isn't he adorable???? I love his ears!!!

I believe it is the job of a President to confront problems, not pass them on to future Presidents and future generations.
