Random thought

I was thinking about this weird thing..................WHY is the First and second largest expensive items we own, being a house and vehicle...........opened and started by one of the smallest things we own...a KEY? weird!

also, noticing while i try and help my second grader with reading and spelling, the words in the english language......or perhaps lack there of.
like..........no and Know.........why couldn't they make up a different word for one, and are they really fooling anyone with the frickin silent "K"??

the word POOL........we swim in it, we play a game of it, we wager money on hockey pools,

you get my point!

we are off to our daughters band concert and at show.......and to our sons family spring dance.
WOW what a social calander!

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE RE-DO RENAME RELOCATE REMINISE REMEMBER

REMEMBER...WHEN I USED TO BLOG JUST ABOUT EVERYDAY? AND REMINISE ABOUT THE DAY THAT JUST PASSED??..... WELL I HOPE TO RENEW THAT COMMITMENT.

A slew of things have happened since my last blog.....FEB????? but of course due to a memory that lacks holding power, i barely remember last week. but last week was a doosey!
two weeks ago my sister had her SUPRISE THIRD baby...a boy named LINDEN JASON. So we went to visit naturally. but he was 5 days old before we got to see him.

during that few days prior to our visit our family watched the movie "BOLT", which has a co-star hamster who talks, does karate moves and runs around in a ball..............know how i believe in the power of attraction??? well my youngest asked every minute of everyday if he could get a hamster................(we have a no pet rule at our house)
until friday at the take it or leave it (check ut twinks and mine recycle challange)...we found a hamster cage with all the tube tunnels! REUSE!!
Not to be out attracted........my husabads co-worker brought another hamster cage to work, as theirs died and where done with the hamster thing. son # 2 decides to get a guienie pig instead. while at the pet store my daughter asked for a bunny, to a firm and quick response of "ABSOLUTELY NOT"!!
Sunday, while doing yard work and raking OUT JUMPED AN ABANDONED BABY JACK RABBIT!!!!
i kid you not!!!
so our no pet rule house has turned into a rodent pet farm.

the other thing i have been obsessed about, and probably a major reason for the lack of blogging, is the stock market.
i have started a small group where instead of buying 649 tickets, we buy stocks....slowly we are getting rich!

and on to our challange......for those of you who also read twinks blog you may have seen some pictures of them
RE-DOING some wood furniture/signs...........i have done a couple projects that involve mental RECOVERED from the metal pile at our recylcling station. i also have found a frame left at the take it or leave it pile, which i REUSED AND RENAMED as a jewlery holder.

well i hope you all feel inspired to find your artsy fartsy side, not to mention your GREEN side! imagination is a wonderful thing..............and i think perhaps....will just throw this idea out there...maybe we should auction off our creations!
