New Mother-In-Law in the Hospital

My MIL was just admitted into Elyria Memorial Hospital. It is now 2:41 am. I am SO tired and I was so looking forward to sleeping in, tomorrow morning. But God had other plans. She has several tests running and one came back showing very low potassium and so they are basing other test on that. (I think) I will let you know more as I find out information.

They do not have insurance right now due to my FIL being laid off a few weeks ago and this will prove to be a trying time for them.

Please keep them in your prayers. Thank you.

Dinner Night with Friends

We get together with three other couples every Wednesday night. We all take turns cooking, for financial reasons and so it saves us all a little time 3 weeks in a row until it is our turn again.
We sometimes sit around and talk after dinner or we play a game, while waiting for American Idol to come on...hehe. We watch that and boo and hiss at the appropriate times and vocalise how much we think ill of that poor Sunjia kid. Then we wait another 30 minutes and watch LOST and lately we have been booing and hissing at that too. lol

Now something that I think we need to do is come up with a name for it...so when we are all blogging or talking about it with others, we are not calling it the "dinner thing" haha. We really should come up with one. What do you think?

I used to call it our LOST dinner party but now we all don't stay and watch it. Tell me what is a a girl to do? HELP name our dinner party....:)

Coming Soon to a Kitchen Near You?

Could I really be a Pampered Chef Kitchen Consultant?
I really don't know....well here is four good reasons that I think I would be good at it.

I have a fun, outgoing personality
I am creative
I love to cook
I love the food network channel and I have always wanted my own cooking show...i mean ALWAYS!

When I was a toddler I would watch the Frugal Gourmet and that guy that pronounced onions funny,all the time, and growing up, whenever I was in the kitchen I would talk to my invisible viewers like I was hosting my own show, carefully telling the audience every ingredient and how to create wonderful, and marvelous recipes.
I still to this day find myself talking out loud in the kitchen...and i will laugh. I do love to cook and I still want my own show. (I could be right after my BFF Rachael Ray, she does not know this yet---shhhh! I don't want to scare her away.)

I think it would be a fun experience and a whole lot better then selling vacuum cleaners.

Plus---I NEED SOME HOBBIES!

So nice out today!

It was spring today in Sandusky, Ohio!
Casey and our friend Casie Troxel and I went and got Wendy's and drove(we would have walked but I had to get home to clean for my jewelry party.) down to "OUR" fishing spot. (behind the Yacht Club on the rocks and into the bay) We sat on the rocks and ate our lunch and watched the seagulls snatch up little dead perch that were laying on the ice that has yet to melt. I was really neat, because some of the ice has already melted and you can see the fish swimming in the water around the ice...how cold they must be! What i also found to be really cool--sorry a pun---was the fact that as you were walking out toward the bay, the ice was still solid and there was no moving water but once you were to the bay, there was somewhat of a drop off where all of a sudden there was freely moving water...really sweet! there were little ice burgs all over the place, and acting like i was five years old, i threw rocks at them...hehe. We had to hurry on our way but it was nice to say hello to our fishing rock after such a long time!

Sorry I forgot my Camera...BAD BLOGGER!

Danielle's Jewlery Party

So my jewelry party is tomorrow. I am not sure how it is going to go.
I am not a jewelry person myself, I have 3 rings that I wear at all times. I have maybe, 2 necklaces to chose from, and I have 4 pairs of earrings. So really I guess I need some jewelry. I am not a good accessoriser. I don't wear hats and I never change purses unless the one that I am using is falling apart.
I am having this party as a favor to one of my darling friends...lol.
I'm making pizza thingies um....Stromboli-I think. We are having chips and brownies too.
So if you are reading this...come-and bring a friend...at least for the food.
I feel bad I do not think many people are coming, I hope that they do but who knows...
I shall let you know how it goes...here is to hoping!

THIEF!

How rude!
Why in the world would someone steal an hour from me?
It takes me so long to get used to falling forward that it is so mean to take that hour back---Indian giver!

So to whom ever invented daylight savings----I am not to fond of you...today.

I hate the cat!


Casey got a cat for me a few days before we got married and it was such a cute little thing.
....And then it got big. Now I would love to get rid of the thing.(Her name is AD.D. by the way) But you would never guess who is in love with the "little darling''...yeah that is right, Casey. Bummer. Ok fine and dandy but now I ask you who do you think cleans the litter box, (GROSS) yep if you guessed Danielle, you win a prize- an adorable cat-yes she is potty trained- it's not that easy I know. I really don't like her....HELP.

Pros and Cons of living in Sandusky, Ohio---this is just MY oppinion here.

Ok so Pros....
1)It is close to everything!

d.)Our friends-that live in the area-they all live in Sandusky
e.)Wal-mart...for everything but groceries and Meijer...for groceries
f.)we are close to work---like that is my number one joy!
2.)There are sidewalks-I've never lived where there were sidewalks
4.)The lake is right here...you can see it anyway...no beach though.
5.)I like hearing the church bells


Ok now the Cons...
1.)It is ghetto...so to anyone that lives here.
2.)People don't have back yards
3.)It is more than 15 min. from family
4.)It does not have a beach...cedar point does not count!
5.)The police and Fire sirens wake me up at night
6.)I have to lock things that i never had to before

7.)I don't feel safe walking after dark

My Sister is 13 years old!



My darling baby sister (that growing up-i always wanted!)is now a teenager...attitude and everything. On March first she has been in my life for 13 years and i cannot begin to express how much I love her. I want to be the person that she comes to when she is having a problem,if it be with love, life, or when she is just having a bad day. She is very much a blessing to my life and I just thought I would share that today...I hope we stay close and get closer as time moves on.

Happy Birthday Melissa Renee!!!!

This song is for you!

Sisters, sisters,
There were never such devoted sisters.
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir.
I´m here to keep my eye on her.

Caring, sharing
every little thing that we are wearing.
When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome,
she wore the dress and I stayed home.

All kinds of weather, we stick together,
the same in the rain or sun.
Two different faces, but in tight places
we think and we act as one. Uh-huh!

Those who´ve seen us
know that not a thing can come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can.
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister that comes between me and my man.

All kinds of weather, we stick together,

Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister,
and Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man.

Sisters!
Sisters!
Sisters!
Don´t you come
between me and my man!

Casey and Danielle


We were married July, 22, 2006, surrounded by loving family and GREAT friends.
Incredibly it has almost been eight months! I cannot believe it.

Casey is working for Norfolk Southern, out of Bellevue, as a RailRoad conducter.
He has been working there for two years and seems to enjoy it-with an occational "Off" day.

I have been at Olive Garden for a little less time, it will be two years on March 11th. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not...Somedays I hate it and some days I don't. (But over-all I think I will be there a while.)


As of right now We are living in a cute little apartment in Sandusky.
We are starting to feel a little crowded and running out of room fast! So it won't be to long before we start house hunting. Probably somewhere in the next six months.

Well i guess that is all for now.
