Oh Crap

Hee Hee. Funny story. Not Atypical around here for something like this to happen.
Etta and I were looking around on the welcome screen earlier this afternoon and there was a story about up coming nail trends. They were showing different pics of nail art and decals for artificial nails as well as full nails with the art on them that you can buy at drug stores. Knowing she cannot get acrylics, she asked for the fancy, already done nails. The ones she wanted had little skulls on them. I said sure, thinking I would never find them at KMart which was where I was headed anyway. Well, low and behold, they had them. Ok. I already said yes. So, we get home and shes all excited. I go to put the first one on. Now, you know, its amazing what can happen in 1 second. We have all the nails out, ready to put them on. Etta, i think, knocks them around, yanks her hand out of mine, the nail with glue comes loose, begins to fall on my kitchen table, i catch it with my right index finger. The nail is stuck to my finger and i realize the glue is on it, i go to pull it off and cant. Now, my thumb and index finger of my left hand is stuck to my right. Now all this was in like 1.5 seconds. LOL. So, now, here i am with my fingers glued together, Etta is laughing like a loon, and I have to tell Tom he needs to drive to the store for me. Oh lord. Bless his heart he just shook his head and asked me what i needed. Obviously, i am unglued, Etta has her nails, and Tom gets a big kiss. Everyone is happy.

I am sooooo ready for Spring. I know it is not even

February yet, and I'm certain we are going to get

more snow, but I want my gardens back. I can't wait

to plant my corn, tomatoes, melons, beans, and

peppers. I can't wait to see my bulbs bloom, all the

annuals that add so much pretty color. I want my

hands in the soil and watch the things I put into the

Earth grow. I love the fresh veggies we can have at

dinner, the fresh corn, I pick myself, from the garden

to make for a cookout. The fresh cut flowers that I

bring in the beautify my kitchen and make my home

smell like spring. I want to plant a larger variety in

the veggie garden this year so I have more to freeze

and can. The problem last year was that we ran out.

I wanted to put enough by for the winter, but we love

the fresh veggies so much we ate them every day.

We did have a lot of tomatoes which we gave to

friends and neighbors. I made several jars of pasta

sauce and salsa. I never realize how any tomatoes

it takes to make a pint of salsa. Wow. I set up to make

8 jars and ended up with four. Well, next year will be

better.

My Best friend Ann gave me these three awards. Thank
you Ann!

My first blog

Ok, My best friend tells me "Try blogging! You might like it." So, I'm trying. This is my third or fourth attempt to post a blog, and it's getting pretty frustrating. I'm sure it's much easier than I am making out to be. Lets see if this works.
