Graduation / Memorial Day

I went to see my niece graduate from high school Saturday morning. The girl that sang the theme song " I will remember you " did an awesome job. Thought I would play it for you here on my blog along with the lyrics.

Monday:
Memorial Day - Remembering those who died to keep our country free.

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Mother's Day

Mother's Day turned out to be a pretty good day. Had a relaxing morning. Sweetie girl brings me two beautiful cards. One from her and one from daddy, awe how sweet....Really it was. Lots of Hugggs and snuggles.
Then what's that little black box over there. My brand new sleek little black ipod , oh wonderful. Just what I wanted, I love it. Got it all loaded up with some songs and pictures. We headed out over to mom-in-laws. Spent a few hours there. Came back home for awhile. Then went out to eat. Steak, salad and baked potato. Yummy

Men

Rant: I do not understand men. What are they thinking? Why do you have to tell some of them every move to make. If you get anything done. I mean like What to do, when to do it. And most the time in detail how to do it. Why why why? I am for sure this one is totally playing dumb because he could care less. And trying to get out of doing anything.

ok so the root of this particular rant is. The man's lawn here at the house is knee high. Does he even care it's mother's day weekend. And that I might enjoy walking outside without plowing thew knee high weeds. To sit in the swing or look at my gardens. NO
He will be going out to the fish pond to shovel lime, mow and weed eat around the pond. Like he hasn't been already been doing that almost every weekend for the past 3 months.

If I thought he had any feelings about this at all. I might would confront him and at least tell him. Hey have you noticed the grass really needs mowing? Nope I still think he could care less. So my feelings are do your thing hun, no problem. I'll hire someone to do it.
Lawn boy needed....
So maybe it's time to put up my what's he thinking notes. I found these awhile back while doing some random surfing on this same topic...I don't understand men!
1. The head tilt is a surefire come-hither signal. He's attempting to make himself more approachable.
2. When a man turns in his toes, it's a sign that he is nervous. He's pulling in to protect himself and needs your reassurance.
3. When a guy looks over your head before answering, it's a confessional pose, and he's probably telling the truth.
4. When his brain picks up on something he's very interested in, he subconsciously turns his torso toward it.
5. If a guy says "work is crazy" at the start of a date, it means nothing. But saying it at the end is his escape route.
6. A palms-down gesture indicates that your guy is trying to claim control and may have an overbearing streak he's hiding.
7. Any type of mirroring gesture, like picking up a glass when you do, shows affection. He is aligning himself with you.
8. When the pitch of a man's voice rises even slightly, it means he's not comfortable with what he's saying yes to.

uhuh after finding this. Sure, I have been looking and taking mental notes. My findings are yes most of these are correct. The old surefire body language signals. So do you know any body language that are helpful in understanding men (people).

Well now he can't find a lid to fit a sippy cup. Sheesh

Alan Jackson Concert

Last Saturday we went to see Alan Jackson in concert. When he sang this song little bitty things, Sweetie girl loved it. She was dancing and singing right along . It was an outdooor concert at a theme park with rides, animals, waterpark and food. We had a great time.

I even found out what a marmoset was. lol
My daughter had got this little stuffed monkey from our last trip to the zoo. She named him peaty marmoset. I couldn't understand why she named him marmoset. It just seemed so strange and I couldn't figure out where she heard it. Well I still don't know where she heard the name.

We went to one of the animal shows in the park where the concert was this weekend. And low and behold, there it was....A marmoset monkey. Daughter is saying peaty marmoset over and over. Hubby and I Just look at each and start to laugh. Anyway here's a link, The Common Marmoset if by chance you haven't heard of the marmoset monkey either.

And here is a picture of a baby one, awh













Have a great day day everyone!

Updates

A little something to let you know I'm still around. Can't think of any special subject to write on. So I'll do some updates.

As for the sweetie girl's schedule I made. Not going well, there was only two days we stayed on schedule. Some days used it as a guide as to what to do during the day. Now it's pretty much back to what ever comes along. I'm just not a schedule person.

Don't plan my weekends, what ever comes up is what we do.
Our vegetable garden is starting to grow. We have a few small tomatoes and squash. Oh and some very small bell peppers are just starting to pop out.

My aunt is out of the hospital and back home recovering from the surgery. She's not well, doing some better though. They are still trying to get her walking again.

We are still keeping the roads hot with our little golf cart. Sweetie girl has been enjoying her summer swimming pool and starting to get a little tan.

Gas prices are way too high , 2.89 for regular. I heard its like 7.00 a gallon in London, England. So can't complain to much, I just don't see how they make it paying that for gas.

Hope you are doing well. Have a great weekend.
