So yesterday the kids and I did our random chores, cleaned up the house a bit and then went to Provo. We were going to the "best in music" anniversary day shindig and had a couple of other stops to make along the way. We went to Sportsmans warehouse to look for a bbq box for the camp chef and got distracted by cots. So now Todd and Colt have cots to sleep on while they are in the tent next weekend. they will also be handy for when we are camping out at goat shows! so bonus buy there.
Then we stopped at I.M. Home a store that's near sportsmans warehouse in Provo. I had seen the sign on the freeway and kept thinking I should stop there one day. so we did. I was(and still am) in search of tall chairs or bar stools. they need to be about 30 inches high at the seat and a light colored wood. I'd also like them to not cost nine billion dollars, picky aren't I. thus far I am having NO luck finding them at all. expensive or otherwise. We did see some funky silver ones yesterday though.
The trip there was not a total loss, Colt has a loft bed and he has been pining for a loveseat or chair to put under it instead of his current crappy chair. Well I.M. Home was having a parking lot sale, they called it a tent sale but the only tent was a tiny popup everything else was just all over the parking lot. so I call it a parking lot sale! anyhow, he was walking along looking at all the loveseats and flipping over their tags when he found what is now I swear the love of his life. Ok, maybe not quite that bad, but I'm sure we are going to have to hear about it for a loooooong time. Its a tan microfiber loveseat that is very VERY comfortable and was marked down $300 which put it within his couple hundred dollar price range. so he bought it.
After buying the loveseat we went to the mall where we browsed around a bit and ate lunch in the food court.
We then went to the best in music store where tia was drooling over guitars and most particularly Basses, since she already has a guitar. Everything in the store was on sale for the anniversary extravaganza and she ended up buying the prettiest darn thing you ever did see! I love the color. I wonder what she'll buy next year.
So that was our lovely Saturday.

Wheeeeee
(ROFL.. inside joke!! hahahahaha anyhow..)
Tia bought a Bass! She's exceedingly excited but apparantly doesn't know how to upload a picture of it and while she does NOT fail at life and should quit saying that (grrrrr), I would have helped her if she had asked BEFORE I fell asleep. sheesh. not like I wasn't sitting at my computer for an hour before I went to bed. Just joking Tia... well kind of joking. Well as I am at work now I can not help her upload a pic of it now either but I can put on a pic of what it looks like from an ad :-) so here it be:
Its that brand and color etc, just Tia's is in her room and the one above is in some photo studio or at least was.

Three posts in one day!
I am currently stuck on the song, Rainy Monday by Shiny Toy Guns.. you all should check it out :-)
Sunday update
Ok, so I haven't been very diligent on the Sunday update thing, but guess what my blog buddy (who shall remain nameless... TAUNA!) hasn't updated her blog for 2 months or so! So today is Sunday, I'm at work like normal getting bitched at, but hey we already know that part right *grin*
My family should be home making preprations for Teresa and Don to come for semen collection tomorrow (now that just sounds so wrong, but it is what it is). The best thing about semen collection tomorrow is I DON'T HAVE TO WORK! YAY!!! Well that and we'll know if our new togg is fertile and if he should happen to croak on us we hopefully will now have semen in the tank and not just be out o luck! I do feel somewhat bad though as there aren't going to be hardly any bucks to be collected and they may seriously only get their 150 straw minimum at this stop, but oh well what can I say.
what else... tomorrow night colt and I have volleyball again, tuesday except for semen viewing there isn't much going on. Wed night... ummm.. Tia has guitar lessons. Thursday is Bella's class. Friday is... uhhhhh Friday (hahahahaha) Saturday I can think of nothing either and then sunday is come to work all day again day.
cut to this: there is a due on a motorcycle changing his clothes out in the parking lot. Hmmmm... I just had to tell him we had no fuel so I guess he figured he'd do a quick change instead. hmmmmmmmmmmm
This last week was also uneventful, work, guitar, dog class (in which bella wanted to EAT the other dogs! urgh).. oh wait dog class morning tia and I entertained the third graders with our goats. Did I write about that already? work, work, work, and now its sunday and I'm at work. what a fun filled exciting week! Bella has to get our more. I keep saying that, but it keeps not happening. well its got to start happening. She was a bit better at class when it came to people although still shy. but dogs was a whole nother story. she acts like she wants to eat them! poor rags and chester (the two other dogs in the class) are terrified of her! So our goal is to make her meet new dogs before next class. Yesterday boober came over to borrow Colt and when he brought him back home I noticed Harold (boobers dog) was in the truck so I said we needed bella to meet him. You guessed it she wanted to eat him. I scared the holy hell out of her and then when we convinced Harold to come back we let them meet again and it went better. so we praised her and did it again. She was MUCH better. she acted like she wanted to play with him and was being nice when he was bouncing all over her head. YAY!! Tuesday Tia and I are going to take her down to Jennifers house and have her meet sunshine (I think that's her name). that will be a good test as she seems to have a particular disliking for lab sized dogs. So we will see how that little foray goes. We also want to take her out to Mom's to meet Benji and then out to visit Harold again. Still trying to think of more people who won't think I'm a total whack job when I ask if I can borrow their dog for 10 or 15 minutes. hee hee
Nothing much else to report. If anything fun and exciting happens I'll try to remember to update. If I ever get the state fair pics sorted out I might post about that. Oh and we are currently trying to save the life of a calf but I'm not going to post about her unless she lives past today cause it aint looking so good right now!
Love to all my faithful readers *grin*

I love my job...
have I mentioned that lately? probably not cause it wowuld be a big honkin lie!!!! URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
I have gone from just being bitched at for what we do not have in stock to being bitched at for the state of the cows on the range... How people traveling through think I have ANYTHING to do with that little bit of the world I have no idea but I have now had 4 sets of people bite my head off because the poor cows have nothing to eat. DOH! they aren't my freaking cows people! My cows are verging on obese ask my vet! that on top of the fact we have no gasoline "again" and its been a fun filled day of bitchy people and just sit here going "I just work here" "I just work here". I'm going to make myself a freakin t-shirt that says I just work here. It hit me Friday night as I came back to work the closing shift that I've worked here now for 16 years. what the heck is wrong with me!?!? I truly need to find a real job, but alas I have days off planned between now and the end of November but hey come December McDonalds here I come! you all think I'm joking but guess what... I'm not! I will gladly trade and cook burgers at McDonalds right about now. Anything that will involve less drama will be fantastic. besides I like to cook :-)

Home at last! YAY
Ok, so actually we go home very late Sunday night or very very early Monday actually as it was about a quarter after midnight. But anyhow, now I'm home and so glad but have soooooooooooooooooo much to do! DOH! On top of my list from hell I brought home a head cold that is making me miserable!!!! I will be soooo very glad when I can breathe again.
State Fair was great fun, wasn't actually like normal, we generally play cards and such and none of that got done but we did have good cookouts. To many good cookouts! I gained weight. urgh. none of the rest of my family would get on the scale after we got home... big chickens. One good thing though is that League Volleyball started yesterday night. Colt and I are on a co-ed team and thus will be exerting ourselves at least once a week :-) Tia also did not stay for most of the fair and we missed her..... although I must admit I didn't miss her and Colt fighting!
Not a whole lot else to report at this time. Colt is playing homework catchup, Tia is being grouchy then hyper then grouchy again. She also KILLED MY GARDEN!! and most of the grass for that matter... I guess that's what happens when you forget to water it. But oh well such is life. I am off to do something interesting... like going to sleep! YAY

Home again...
But still not for long. it is 2:06 am and I am home and reading email (and now typing this!) I should be asleep as we have to leave in about 4 hours to go back to the fair, but I have two loads of laundry I need to do first and then we are off back to the fair with our three little wethers. then it will be nap time! The show went well, the trip home went well, all the girls are in their nice little happy homes again and now I am ending this as I can not think of anything to say!

So I'm home....
For a few hours !!!
Tia and I have made a mad dash home and now it is 1:20 am and I am still awake. In the time since we arrived home at about 11:30 or so I have colored Tia's hair, got one load of laundry done and another on the way, watered the tomatoes and am now watering the first lawn turn and washed the dishes I brought home from the fair. Now I think I will take a short nap for 26 minutes while I wait for the current laundry load to be done, then I'll switch the laundry and change the water :-) so much to do so few hours left to do it!
By the way, its freaky cold here!
