Hiya, and Hello Hello HELLO!!!!!LOL..

Hi there peeps.. I havent been posting agains lately.. I miss my daily posts or my everyother day posts.. But we have been busy here. As I said in my last post we have two new adults living with us until they find places of there own and such.. Jobs.. Well Ty did find his job I told you all abouts..

Now Brianca is here. We went and got her yesterday. We left green bay at 1:30 in the morning to get to the Uhaul, (penske) at 10:00 Am. We lost and hour going. it was our nine and there ten.. Its funny how that works.. But it was dark on the way and of course I was in a hurry to get on the road and I left my camera at home to take photo's of the most beautiful sunrise I have seen a while.. The sun was blood red and the sky behind it was a really pretty pink. but it didnt rain.. It was awsome. 

We got to Indianapolis and went to the Uhaul place and Brianca met us there..  We made sure her car fit the towing thing and then headed to her house to pack up the boxes and her bed she had waiting for us.. Then she had to say goodbye to a few people.. The boyfriend she was leavign to come up here was sad but he did ok until we left.  He called her twice while we were in the car.. He couldnt figure out what to do since she was gone..

Anyway I did good driving. I drove all the way back from Indianapolis with out killing anyone..LOL. OK OK that isnt really funny..I am a nervous driver on the highway usually and I was pretty good yesterday. Maybe it was because I made the right decision to let Jeff take Kora in the Uhaul and I took the two B's as I call them.. But Brianca and I talked about all sorts of things.. We had fun..

Then we stopped for supper in Sheboygan for supper at Perkins and when we left I wish I would have brought my camera again.. The most beautiful sunset I have seen a while too. It was just a beautiful day in all. I am still tireds from being up as long as I was yesterday but if I nap now I wont go backs to bed tonight at 9:30.. Yes I have to get my beauty rest or I dont function in my new job. Its not that its hard but repetitive..

Life will go back to normal as of tomorrow. Go back to work and come home for an hour and then go back and get Jeff from workies..

Did I tell you in my last post I fried my new cell phone?? We upgraded my cell phone and I really liked it. Well it was used but new to me and it was raining the other night and we had to go out for a part for the tub and we were in a hurry to get in the store and I dropped my phone. Well we shut it off and now when we turn it back on they keypad turns on but the screen doesnt.. it sucks.. I wondered if it was damaged before that point though.. They keys would click and sort of spark when I would text someone..

Well anyway Jeff has an idea for a phone for me and I want to go find out how much it will cost me to get one like he has for work.. He has a sprint cricket I believe they are called.. It would have came in handy yesterday for sure between the two cars. Well I suppose. I need to get going. Talk to you all soon. I will try and make rounds in a bits.. Not sure what we are doing today..

Alot going on...

Hi there. I am alive and living.. I have been missing in ACTION... Sorry my friends.. I have been busy trying to get the house ready for another visitor.. The same one that the photos are of below this post. Her boyfriend started in on her when she got home again. and she called us back up and asked if she paid for everything if she could move up here. So she is going to stay with us for a while.. He has been an ass to her for a long while and she is just fed up with it.. She told him a few months ago if things didnt change she was leaving him..

Well she called us and such.. So Saturday we are taking a day trip to Indianapolis to get her.. Jeff has to drive the  uhaul back here and I have to drive our car. Jeff is going to be pulling her car with the uhaul so she has a car to drive while she is here.. Then we have another friend staying with us that came in last week. He has found a job already..

I am so proud of him for doing so.  He got a job at one of our local Taco Bells and not just an employee. He got hired on as a Shift Manager...  He had experience the manager l iked  him and he got the job.. and I am hoping its as quick for the other friend coming in from Indianapolis.. Then we can have some help..

Oh talking about such things.. Jeff and I found this whole bedroom set we want.. oh its beautiful.. but its going to cost us some money.. We are hoping that if Ty and Brianca stay for a while they can help us and we can have the extra for the new bedroom set..Its got the bed, the tall dresser and the wider dresser with the mirror and two lamps I think.. I dont remember exactly.. but its a light brown wood set. Head and foot board. 

Its an awsome bed set.. i want it so bad.. Then we are planning giving Ty our old bed and old dresser where he has something to put his clothes in. And making him a bedroom down stairs in our basement.. And Brianca is taking briannas room for the time being..  So we have this under control and I have some rules that everyone is goign to follow when they get settled in.. 


Oh guess what peeps. Bri got to go on the Coaster finally. Ty took her up on it. She cried when it came to an end. I guess there is a small jolt at the end of the ride and it picks you off the seat slightly.. She didnt like that part. She said she wants to try it again with the seatbelt tighter though.. LOL..  My daring little sweetie.. We got me, ty, jeff and bri on the tilt a whirl though.. That was funny.. and then ty and jeff took the girls on the bumper cars..

Well folks that is about it for now.. I will try and let you all know how my trip goes Saturday on Sunday if I have any ME TIME!!!! Talk soon ok.. Miss my friends but just busy.. if any of you who talk to me regularly here want my number just e-mail me ok..

Life

Hey all I have been missing in action again.. No we had company and I have photo's to share with you.. This friend who lives in Indianapolis came to visit again and she wants to move up here. She said she has nothing left down there and wants to move close to us.. We took  her to bay beach but forgot my camera. It was raining anyway so not to many photo's of that. We got on one ride.. and then we took her to to the beach..  boy was that fun. the girls have never been to a beach before and they got to swim in Lake Michigan..

A stone wall..

Hi there. I feel like I have hit a stone wall again.. I havent had much to say or to write about.. I have the girls doing some preliminary school work made up by me or Jeff. I have them taking four random words and making  a story out of them.. and then I have them doing math problems that both us make up.. I have been the only one of recent but was hoping Jeff would help me later on..I have wrote a note in Facebook for those of you who dont blog all the time but like facebook to read instead of here..

I miss some of my friends who have completely left blogland for FB.. I have talked to them but they have completely left blogland..  I dont see the point in FB really. i have my account open for my Etsy shop. I have my FB page open for that and those that like my fb page.. its www.facebook.com/briscrochetingshop  if you want to like it you can.

We go to Milwaukee Saturday to pick up a friend of ours from the airport. Its cheaper to have her fly into Milwaukee than all the way into Green Bay.  Plus I get a car ride out of the deal.. She is going to stay with us till tuesday and then go back. She lives in Indianapolis. I know why is she only flying an hour but the drive is seven hours.. so its worth her to fly instead of drive.

I have considered closing up my etsy shop. I am not making the sales I was hoping to make.  I have lots of stuff on there and lots of people who like my shop but where are the sales from thos that like my shop so much.  Its a hard world. i wasnt expecting to make a million dollars with it but I wanted to break even and maybe even pay a bill or two with it. I know I will never be able to stay home with the girls again.  Not with the economy being the way it is.. I miss staying home and going to the park and such. but we just cant.. Oh well.. that is life.

I got bris earrings changed finally on Saturday. It has been almost two months and I finally just got her earrings she got her ears done with out on Saturday.. They really had the back on her earrings. Plus her ears kept bleeding and pussing up on me.. I was afraid i was going to have to take the earrings out and let her ears heal by themselves.. but she seems ok now that we have taken the offending earrings out..

I dont have any new photo's for you to see right now. Maybe on Saturday.. Life is just moving on with out it seems lately.. but I am good otherwise. I have a book I am reading about half way done with. Its called the Preachers Wife.. I am not good at book reviews.. I wont be doign a review on it. but I will tell you I like it.

My reading list so far this spring/summer has been Kim Harrison witches, weres,  pixies, vampires.
True crime books like Dancing with the Devil, and The  Preachers Wife.  Not sure whats next but those are what I have read so far.

Anyway I need to get going. I am being lazy from working. I may sit half the day at work but my butt seems glued to the chair.  I have a few things before bed at 9:30 tonight. I go to bed early now and get up early.. what a concept huh?? LOL. talk to you all soon.. N..

Part Two of New Job

Hi there.. Part two of new job.. I am in the new position..I was hired to do this job but had to wait a week or two before going into it.. i am working for Modern Plastics but not for them.. This area we are working for is leased with Georgia Pacific.  GP pays Modern Plasitcs to test there paper and soap dispensers.. We find flaws in the dispensers and then send them back and they rework the work.. They want perfect products and that is what we are testing for. 

We have two people on a machine or dispensner.. One person sits and records problems that arise. And the other person operates the dispenser.. Like one person pulls on the paper for an hour or how ever long it takes to get one roll of paper toweling to go down to the core. We want to see if the paper comes off the roll or if it sticks to the roll. If it sticks we have to document why it didnt come off the core..More than likely with that one there is too much glue on the core.

Then we take and measure the paper too. We have three settings in a dispenser. We do all three settings. Not just the two of us. We take and move around the room all day long.. So i will work with someone on this dispenser and document while he/she tears and then we switch and then we move to another type of dispenser..

There are fork, spoons, and spork dispeners, towel, and soap dispensers from what i am understanding. There might be more but this is the main of our bulk. We can take the spoons and soap home with us with permission from the team leader.. I havent yet but i might sometime..

Its an easy job but sort of boring really.. but i am getting paid to do it and doign well. i havent been good with a ruler but learning each day I have been up there. We have to measure five paper towels and then get an average on how long they are.  Then we have to get a static reading on them also. but in real life someone isnt going to stand in a bathroom and pull on the dispenser for an hour to get all the paper off the core.. But you just never know though really.. LOL.. There have been weirder things happening.

OK OK anyway that is what the new job i was assigned to do is.. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.. We might go and see the Airshow in Oshkosh tomorrow. Not sure yet. Its suppose to be hot and humid and maybe have some storms.. So we arent sure what our weekend will entail with going out. 

New Job

Ok peeps I have been slacking on telling about the new job. Its going good. I get to do something different tomorrow I heard but not sure yet.. But what I am doing for the time being is testing some paper towel dispensers. They are taking like 30,000 of them apart and redoing them. Something mehcanical went wrong or something. I am not sure and I didnt ask as I am a new employee..

What I do is the last part before they put the dispenser back in the box. I test the dispenser with paper towels.. You should see the paper towels they waste. I think we can bring the paper home but not sure on that one. I put the battery pack in and the paper towel and then let it do its thing and then run the paper through like if you were loading it.. then i put all the goodies inside and ship it to the guy that is going to box it and put it back on the pallet..

Not a hard job but dont let anyone ever tell you that plastic is light because after about the hundredth dispenser my arms are feeling like they want to fall off. We do about 450 dispensers in a day. There are two of us testing them so dont let that number scare you. 

But I heard something about doing something different tomorrow. I will have to let you know if I got to do something else tomorrow.. i also promised you photo's the next time I blogged.. so here we go. let me get my camera and let one of the girls take some photo's of me..


Ok Ok here we go.

I used 8  3.5 skeins of yarn for my sweater and about half a 7 oz skein..   This little guy here with the bar of soap and three scrubbies used a 2 oz ball of cotton.  My arms on my sweater are a bit big but that is ok.I can wear a long sleeve shirt under it if i desire.  other wise its just more room to move around in.. Anyway that is about it for today. I have to go do a load of laundry and then I have to go get hubby. I hate haveing one car.. LOL..

Little Vacation..

It felt nice to look at someone elses four walls. We needed the vacation but the girls are right back at eachothers throats since i walked in the door at 3:30 PM.. Yikes.. but boy do I have something to tell you.. Kora was my baby this weekend. She stayed in the shallow end of the pool and Bri had those wings on her arms.. OK No big deal right but she was jumping off the deep end of the pool and swimming back to the shallow end. The big kids didnt want to play with Kora. They wanted to play with Bri.. LOL.. All Kora did was complain everytime someone suggested she jump with them at the deep end..  I almost pushed her in but didnt want to ruin her weekend with her blubbering worse than she already was..  So I have more photo's of Bri this time around than I do photos  of them together..


Oh yes Fridays clouds to start the weekend off. It was beautiful.. 

kora and bri playing chess Saturday before we could check into the motel.. Yes they were actually playing.

Lobby of the motel we stayed at.. I loved the waterfountains they have out there. Just wonderful.

bri at the deep end of the pool..

bri trying to back float.. but doing pretty good. i think we have a fish on our hands..

oh just love these photo's when I can get them.. when they are mid air like that..

bri jumping  backwards into the deep end of the pool fo rmommy to take photo. 

both girls after swimming and running around all day long.. 

jeff right before his last round..  he got a draw out of this game but should have lost I heard.. i am glad he pulled a draw out though..

the room where they play chess and no talking aloud after the games start. Or alot  of noise I should say..

kora bri and a new friend. I cant remember what her name is.. will ask girls when they come in and edit it.

They had a wonderful time and so did I. I just got to relax and sit in the whirl pool for a bit and do some adult talking and then just me time.. I brought me some yarn and make a bathmit and three facial scrubbies and started on a second bathmit but didnt finish it yet. I will post those in a few days.. The one bath mit is made with 100% cotton and i made it like a mitten with the thumb and everything.. LOL.  The color was called dalmation. Its black and white.. Pretty neat color contrast really..  I am looking at like 13 dollars for the set and 3.00 dollars for shipping.. 

Anyway this is one long post with photo's in the middle of this. if you are still reading I am suprised.. LOL.. Take care my friends..  Have a wonderful next few days..
