Bonfire....No Fire


Mr. J and I attended a bonfire this past weekend....there was only one problem there was no fire. When we arrived at the event, we could see the fire from the road. Boy, were we glad to see people since we were out in the middle of no where in the dark. The fire roared on for about 30 minutes after we arrived, but slowly faded. The host tried to add lighter fluid and even gasoline to make it stay, but the fire wanted to go away. Note to self....when planning to invite people over for a bonfire you might want to put the wood in the garage or at least cover it so that it does not get wet if it rains. This would be what the host of this bonfire did not do. So I allowed Mr. J to socialize with his friends as I sat wrapped up in a blanket as listened to a group of women singing Michael Jackson songs. I must say they were great for a laugh. After about 45 more minutes, I gave up and asked Mr. J if we could leave since I was cold and getting tired of playing Pac Man on my cell phone. He agreed. When we left, I thought that we would be going straight home....no Mr. J decides that he wants to go and get some Gatorade on sale at Meijer at 1:00 am. What a way to spend a Saturday night. It was not a total bust, I got dinner at Red Lobster.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
