UGGGHHHHH

I am so sick of technology and all the woes that go along with updates and upgrades. I have spent two days doing nothing but technology BS and MAN have I had it. My head is about to explode. One thing is for sure....computer programming probably would not have been a good career choice for me...but as I was working on all our stuff I found this photo. Today would have been my Grandma Boschen's birthday. Just a few short years ago we celebrated her 104th Birthday, then she was gone. I miss her. Such a wonderful lady and a special Grandmother. People should celebrate the lives of those they have had so long, we are a lucky few.....xoxoxo Grandma. I bet you, Grandpa and Dad are having the best time........

Start your day

Like this and even a Monday goes great...and it did! When you wake up to this who can go wrong.

Ron always leaves very early on Monday mornings to get to the office in time for all his Monday morning meetings. Today I wanted to watch the news so I got up the same time he did. Usually I will sneak back to bed and get back up, but I decided to work on my computer and boy am I glad I did.......Good Morning Duncan Lakes.....

Daddy's Home

Ron went Ice Fishing with some buddies from Duncan Lakes this weekend and there was one little dog who was so happy to see him. He always is but this time it was particularly hard on Cheerio. He started "looking" for Ron on about Saturday morning. He was one happy little dog when Ron FINALLY got home on Sunday. I was trying to record Cheerio but pushed the wrong button so only got a picture of him whining and wagging his tail and scratching on the door when he saw his "Daddy". Two peas in a pod these two.......

Tower of Bugles

So I decided that if Ron was going to go Ice Fishing over the weekend I was going to at least have some company, so that equals me hosting a little get together at our cabin. The "Fishing widow" party. Just a casual gathering of lake friends. We have tons of unique and weird little party traditions at Duncan Lakes but this is one of my Favorites....Bugles filled with cheese. Of course my friend Tina (the original Bugle and cheese girl) brought the traditional makings. Bugles and party cheese......my favorite party stunt of the night......my friend Sarah and her tower of Bugles. YOU GO GIRL! 2013 Reigning bugle tower champion.....

Sometimes...

When I am home alone, for some reason to take more pictures than usual.

I took these for Ron, to show how Foggy it was here this morning. Never seen anything like this for a long time. (Except maybe last February, when we were trying to get home from the Airport..and that was at night), but other than that....this was one of the worst day fogs ever. I am so glad that Ron decided to leave last night for Kansas, otherwise he would have had to drive in this mess. Thank gosh I saw the dense fog advisory for Nebraska and Kansas so I could send him on his safe way on Monday..........somewhere there are houses over there, but they are gone now.

I just love to jump in my chair and have me some lunch and watch the noon news...........here's my challenge:

So as soon as he smells food :) Here's my lap visitor today. He apparently LOVES soup :) Not my cover shot for Vogue of me personally, but Cheerio looks adorable as usual.......

BCS and Trees

YES, I still have my Christmas Tree up! I HATE taking it down. My house always seem so sad a bare. This is my brand new tree I bought this year for our new to us house. It is huge and I need Ron to help me take it down. I have a feeling I am going to have to be creative and take it down by myself, however it is not coming down today..........

and there is me watching the National Championship game BY MYSELF! Don't like. To me the National Championship game is like the "Official" end of the Holiday season. Wish it would have been more of a game, but heck I get what I pay for :)

Here's what......

True Nebraska fans have for lunch on game day!!!!

Made in Nebraska....and beside Valentino's pizza is probably one of my Favorite Game Day Stadium traditions. Me hounding Ron to find the kid with the Fairbury Hot Dogs :) So today, as we approached kickoff to the Captial One bowl game versus Georgia I knew the ONLY lunch for us, short of Vals or Runza was none other than the Official Hot Dog of Husker Nation and MAN were they yummy...........FOUR Hot Dogs later.......

we were packing up our coolers and headed to watch the game with friends at Duncan Lakes. Of course Cheerio was resting on none other than his HUSKER spot....actually it was my Husker Snuggie, but I let it slide :)

Even though things didn't turn out so well for my Huskers....I am so proud of them. They played a great game! I wish we could have seen more of the half time show because Cheerio's Foster Sister Bri was dancing in the Half time show....darn it. Looking forward to that Capital One party later when we can all watch Bri dance! YEAH! 

It was so good seeing my Duncan Lakes friends.......hugs all around!!!!!
