Once a....

Bluejay...always a Bluejay.....we had some kind of cheer like that in high school, about being a Bluejay till we die something or another. ANYWAY back to my post..........

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWMAN GROVE BLUEJAY football team on winning their First Round state Football playoff game be defeating the FIRST Seated team!!!!! 24 to 18 was the Final Score of the Bluejays versus Eustis-Farnam. Not only am I a former Newman Grove Bluejay myself but the very proud Aunt of one Defensive lineman named Sheldon.

I don't remember if I have uploaded this photo here before, but here it comes again...too bad you are getting it again. This was taken at Newman Grove's Homecoming game way back in September. This is Aunt Kristin and her favorite Newman Grove Athlete...



THANKS SHELDON For letting me be your "biggest" fan!

My Kitty kitty meow meows......

I did this layout about Button and McCook....my little furbabies and I wanted to share it here. They are something else these two :) Love my girls!

HOLY WIND SOCKS.......

is it windy windy windy out today. Currently we are under a High Wind Warning....it is like a Hurricane outside. Yesterday was soooo nice, but today....not so much. Anything that isn't tied down is probably gone. Good thing Ron went for the ole walk this morning cause right now it would just blow him around.

Ron took this photo this morning as you can kind of see the wind was just starting to come up.

My...

are we done yet look :)



Ron took this picture of me Clerking today. I think the smile on my face was me thinking.."Man this isn't going to take very long" After all it was Friday :) hehehehehe.

Even on the yucky days....

I manage to find something beautiful in my day...

Reality bites......

big time. The reality that today I spent the entire day cleaning up outside and packing away most of my "summer" stuff in lew of my homes winter outside face. Sad sad sad......but after scrubbing the floor in the camper, carrying in 11 baskets of crap out of the camper, and numerous outdoor activities including taking down my hanging baskets, cleaning off my deck and putting away the grill.....

The whole blame mess is now in my house. OH JOY!! Well except for the grill...and the hanging baskets they are still outside only now in the shed.

Now I am battling a cold house, feet that feel like ice and a BIG pile of pans out of the camper that are awaiting a good washing in the dishwasher....

So much for me going to bed early. I need my rest......a hair cut, lunch and some shopping tomorrow. I need a BIG ole plastic container for my camper supplies and some kittie cat food for the my meow girls.

It is time for me to throw in the towel and put a wrap on this day.....do with that...I bid you a goodnight!

Some photos....

I took these photos this weekend for a Photography project that I am working on:









It has been just such a beautiful weekend that it is hard to not spend everyminute outside......

In the Process....

Of Cleaning off my computer....I found a few photos that were buried on my External Drive....and I had to laugh when I found this one. HOLY BOXES...what a mess. This is my scrapbooking room (well half of it) and some of the many things I brought home from my office while cleaning it out. The good news is......it doesn't look like this today :)




Here is another one I found...

WHO THE HECK TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS of TOILET PAPER....apparently I do! BBAAAHHHHAAAAAAAA!

My computer is driving me.....

NUTS....It is full of all kinds of CRAP. Plain ole junkola. I mean COME ON Kristin...why in the name of the lord do you need three folders with the same scrapbook files in them :)

So for the last two days I have done nothing but Clean off my computer, external drives and my cards. UGGHHHHHH. I will never let my computer get this full again! OMG it is terrible....and I am sure it will take me over a week to get this thing completely cleaned off and organized.

This is worse then my clothes closet :)

SO watch for more complaining from me about my crapola computer :)

OH CRAP....

Today...when I was driving home.....three words....

GEASE HEADING SOUTH!



Which means one thing....WINTER! CRAP!

It's starting to look a lot like...

Christmas. YES........I saw two ladies fighting over some boxes of newly stocked Christmas lights on Friday, so I thought I would help my family out. So many times I hear....."I don't know what to get Kristin" OK........

1. Bath and Body works Bubble Bath (Love Moonlight path)











2. NASCAR or racing cooler (soft sided for the race)a 12 pack one....let me clarify (non driver specific). Anything NASCAR.....do not buy me a Dale Earnhardt Jr Cooler, or a Tony Stewart Cooler or a Ryan Newman Cooler or a Jeff Gordon Cooler......I am CLINT BOWYER fan........and it is hard as crap to find one :)

Again let me say...........I am a CLINT BOWYER fan :) DOn't buy me Jack Daniels stuff cause Clint is driving the Cheerios car next year...so PLEASE don't buy me a Jack Daniels chair :)

My Aunt day......

Today I took a small little business trip with Ron which ended up with me spending the Afternoon with my Sister-in-law, Brother-in-law, niece and my brand new nephew.....and it was a great day. Holding Jack. Swinging with Julia. Getting a tour from John and talking with Angie. It was a good day indeed. Ron was detained with his meeting but I was thankful he left me to enjoy this beautiful day, with this beautiful family. I love you guys!

This is Julia, Aunt Kristin, Uncle Ron and Jack

This is Big Sister Julia and her little brother Jack (OH BTW....Jack has medicine on his lips...thus the Purple)
This is Ron's sister Angie (aka Mom), little man Jack, Julia and Uncle Ron

Of course I couldn't leave John out....this is John (aka Dad), Julia and the little princess kitty

HEY MOM.....

YOU know what I want........

YOUR CREAMED RICE. CHOPPED HAM SANDWICHES AND CHOCOLATE MILK :) NO raisins of course............love you Mommy.....I am sucking up. PLEASE make me some soon and I promise the next time Ron is gone I'll stay overnight......

Here's what I don't mind.....

a whole entire day of rain. Seriously, today it rained most of the day and I really did enjoy it. First, it has been very dry and we need the rain. Second, rain just makes me happy, there is something calming about listening to rain on the roof and windows that just makes me relaxed and sleepy. SO tomorrow when all the sun is back.............I'll think back fondly of today :)

It was a very good day.....

I was sooooooooooooooo tired and I had the best chance to sleep it up this morning. There was no going anywhere for me this morning. After coming home from the Nebraska game last night I was exhausted. I got up at 7:30 and went back to bet at 9 for a little napper.

....and I am totally convinced that Clint had a racing angel on his shoulder today. WHAT AN AWESOME finish Clint Bowyer. You had the best luck ever.....for a change it was your lucky day!












We probably took our last Boat ride of the season tonight. Which I am totally sad about, but had such a nice evening for it. For the first time ever it rained on us on the way back home......

OK so this didn't go so well....

and Nebraska got beat, but hey......I got good pictures of Ron and I :) AND I still love my Huskers. At least Bo admits that they need MAJOR improvements. It takes a big man to admit that!

Here is our race family.....

straight from the Kansas Speedway. Here is my race family.......
