Spring Has Sprung
Spring is officially here in H-town. How do I know this you ask? Just look at the crap I see on my car every morning.
Yes, isn't that lovely? No wonder my sinuses are going crazy.
Now for the fun part of Spring...During Spring break I made two flower gardens. The small one about killed me because the ground was so hard I had to take a pick ax to it. Then came the torrential rains.
It was messy and muddy but sooooooo much easier to dig up the dirt. I was actually able to level most of the back yard and make the larger bed.
This bed has some sort of annual (I don't remember what they are), a bush that has blue flowers (no I don't know what it is called either), carpet roses, pink jasmine and white crystal. This bed smells so good when you walk out on the deck.
The larger of the two beds I am most proud of. I am still such a novice on the landscaping thing but I really enjoyed putting it together. The only problem is when I go to the garden store I am overwhelmed with all the different plants.
This bed has: Saratoga Tobacco Plants, white crystals, fox tail ferns, azaleas, humming bird sage and petunias.
Can you believe I was on top of a rock pile and picked out the rocks for the borders. Big G was amused until I picked out the bolders to go in the bed.

Tickle Tuesday
It's not Monday; and it's not Hump Day; so it must be "Tickle Tuesday". Tickle Tuesday is our attempt to lighten your load and make you smile. If you want to join in, let us know. We'll come by and visit.
Subject: BABIES FIRST EXAMINATION!!!
A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, and examined the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed?
"Breast-fed,"she replied.
"Well, strip down to your waist" the doctor ordered.
She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very professional and detailed examination.
Motioning to her to get dressed The doctor said, "No wonder this baby is underweight. You don't have any milk."
"I know," she said, "I'm his Grandma, but I'm glad I came."
The moral of the story-sometimes it's good to be the Grandma!

Back in the saddle
Thanks to SuZan, you saw more than just this last week........
That would be blank space. I took a much needed break from life. I didn't turn on my computer, check bank balances, blog, nothing. I did nothing (other than laundry, plant flowers, shop, and hang out with the kids). Oh, and baseball. My son had three games over the weekend. But other than that, I basically did everything other than what my normal day entails.
During our retail therapy, SuZan and I tossed around the idea of renaming our blog. See, this blog isn't at all what it started out to be. Originally we wanted to start a blog full of ideas to help women, moms, grandmas, whoever get through the day. Then we met an awesome group of ladies we refer to as "our blogging bitches". Now this blog has turned into a place to bitch, vent, share, laugh, cry, etc. We are also thinking about putting our big girl panties on and switching from blogger to Word Press or something.
The problem we encountered when trying to think of a name that was witty and wonderful was......everything we came up with was or could have been construed as porn! We have, however, met some interesting people who have stumbled across our sight when searching for gay/lesbian women to rock their world. Sorry, we're not gay or lesbian, although when our husbands start acting like asses (which we all know hardly ever happens), the thought may have crossed our minds.
What we need from you, our Internets, are suggestions. Should we rename this blog? If so, suggestions please. Should we keep the name? You know, change is a good thing. Some names we've tossed around: Thelma & Louise; Double Trouble; Hmmmm, guess that's all we've come up with. Come on guys, can ya help some sistahs out?
