Woot Woot....

I am back in business with a new computer! Not by choice but the old one had too much wrong. I am getting used to vista and the wonderful program for my pictures..oh so wonderful! So I am back to blogging yay...I had so much to say and no computer to say it with...(If that makes sense...)

Since I have been Computer/Webless I seemed to accomplish a few things....

-put all my Christmas decorations away

-took care of my husband with the flu (and no I didn't get it phew)

-washed all the blankets and bedding from my sick honey

-made a lot of toast while he was sick

-found a new favorite store Wintergreen's Natural Foods in a town close by...(more on the later)

-rearranged the living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook and I think that is it oh and my closet (its a bedroom but I just use it for a closet since we don't have children)

-and I talked Jason into hauling this beautiful dresser into the house so I could get it all cleaned up and start using it...after supper he helped me get the freshly washed drawers in it because I was having trouble...needless to say I just had to get a little "ruff" with it like he did. As he was doing this and saying "you are putting this piece of _ _ _ _ in our dining room" and I smiled and said "yeah" honey I got it for $10 wasn't it a good deal? Ummm well he thought they saw me coming because he thinks its well JUNK! Ha ha I like it that's all that matters right?

So here he is hauling it into the house...and typical me, I started doing something else when he carried all 4 drawers in and when I finally remembered to look for him and open the door he said "Reindal use your head a little" I can't help but laugh when he calls me by my maiden name...

Can you tell he is EXCITED???

Do you think if us women were getting ready to go on an extended weekend shopping spree, scrapbooking retreat, etc that we would be pretending to do whichever activity it was in our living room a few days before we left? I don't know but this ice fisherman had everything he needed but a lake and water oh and fish i guess. Isn't this so cute, I caught him doing this the night before he and his friends went to Lake of the Woods for 4 days 3 nights....And yes the first night I stayed home alone and cried myself to sleep because I was lonely...how pathetic is that....well the next night I ended up on my mom and dad's couch...haha
They made it home safe but Jason and a friend got their coats stolen...bummer but at least that coat I bought him this year for his birthday can be replaced!

Wouldn't it be nice....

...If my pictures would upload!!!

Grrr. I have a ton of post ideas but they really need a picture to be complete. Hopefully after the computer guy doctors up our computer we will be back in business...or perhaps I will need to buy a new camera...ohy. Any-who-What have we been up to?
