Wordless Wednesday: You Know You're A Redneck When...

 

When you use screwdrivers to keep the doors closed on not one but two doors (I have a kind of decent excuse.)

Applications...

I feel like I have been filling out a lot of applications in the last week or so...

Starting with this one...

This girl right here applied to graduation!!!! Ceremony is December 13, 2013 at 7:30PM. Is it obvious that I'm ready to graduate....

I then applied for two big girl jobs, I feel accomplished. However, bad news both of these jobs aren't in the state of Michigan...

I have a couple more jobs that I want to apply for just need to get around to doing it.

Baby Proofing....

No one get excited, not pregnant. Not even trying to get pregnant. I am good for now without babies.

Then you might say well Lyndsey if you don't have any kids and don't plan on having any time soon, why are you baby proofing your house?

Well let me tell you...someone, won't mention any names **cough Hank cough** figured out how to open the kitchen and bathroom cabinets.

After awkwardly spending like 15 minutes in the baby section of Target, this is what I came home with. I bought the locks that go over the knobs on the cabinets, thinking that it would be so easy but not so much. I think the problem is that the knobs are to far apart about 4.5 inches, even though the distance is within the 4.75 inches that the package states, or maybe it's the fact that I put them on the cabinet that the garbage is in and the fact that I have to take the thing off 800 times a day just pisses me off. The inside cabinet locks are much easier then the ones that were in the cabinets previously, I got the spring loaded ones and it takes very little effort to open the cabinets. 

Now I just have to figure out how to lock the lazy susan cabinet that I have. And the bathroom vanity...yeah someone found out where I hide the toilet paper. 

Hopefully he won't figure out how to open the fridge...don't want him to drink all my beer. (I don't actually have any food in my fridge, it's really just beer and alcohol.)

Where is Lyndsey...

I bet many of you have been wondering where I have been...well let me tell you. (And if you haven't been wondering where I have been well that is just rude and you need to show the love a little bit more.)

I just finished up my second to last semester in college. That is right this girl has one more full semester and she will be graduating. With that being said, I have been looking for new jobs, but I'll save the job hunt details for another day.

I snuck a way to Florida for a couple of days to visit an old friend that is in the Army.

Then I came home to work on a few things around the house.

But there is one thing about my that many of you may not know. I actually enjoy working, I enjoy having the routine...now don't get me wrong, I don't really like my job but I do like having somewhere to be and do.

Stay tuned over the next couple of days I have a few things to tell you.

He's Special....



When I get to the last couple broken pieces of treats I always give the box to Hank with the treats inside and close the box. It keeps him entertained for a few minutes and usually when he gets all the treats out he still plays with the box...

 

 

 

He got his head stuck in the box...

 

Had to take a couple pictures before I saved the boy.

 

"Mom my head is stuck in the box...stop taking pictures and help me."

 

He is my special little boy.

Slacking...

At least in the blog world.

I think when I get back to classes I fall off the edge of the planet, I'm taking less credits then I did last semester and I can't figure out what is wrong with me and blogging. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I have class until 7 PM three nights a week and then have to be up at 10 PM to be to work and to be honest at that point nothing is more important to me then going home and cuddling with the puppy to get a couple hours of a sleep. I have been majorly slacking in cooking...sorry Big-D! His mom who I love very much has been sending over meals...

In my free time (haha free time what is that), I have found lots of things to do.

The drywall in the living room is up...finally. OMG I am so happy to not have furniture in my hallway, bedroom, office and any random other place that I had it. Like seriously it's nice to be able to use our second TV so I don't have to watch that basketball game I could careless about. It isn't finished yet, going to have them do it all at once and we have one more room to put new drywall up in. Hopefully by the end of March I will be able to paint!

I got a microwave for Christmas, because my mom is awesome like that. I wish I had known they were into buying appliances because I would have asked for a new washer and dryer. (They got me a brand new refrigerator for Christmas last year.) Well it sat in the middle of my kitchen floor for 4 weeks before I finally got annoyed enough to put it up! That was an I operation not a we operation, I literally did the whole thing by myself (up until I needed to actually install it)...

Hank and I have been crazy busy, we started an agility class and I don't know about his agility thing. I thought it would be fun and it is fun but I have a what I am going to call an ADHD dog and he gets bored very very easily and when he gets bored I hear about it.

Speaking of Hank he turns ONE!!! on March 1st. I feel like I am going to have to make him a cake and have a little party for him...

Okay, I have a couple of planned posts just need pictures and to finish them up. Hopefully I won't disappear again..

Obsession...

I think I have a problem...I have become obsessed with my iPhone and Instagram. It's true, I can't help it. This phone is just really cool and I've never had a smartphone, I never had a cool phone just had the nothing special flip phones or the phone with a keyboard. Both of my old phones couldn't even access the internet. So I am sorry for the lack of posts lately, I blame my iPhone. Now only if there was an app so I can blog on my iPhone...

I promise to blog better this week!

Going to see if I can figure out how to add Instagram to my blog.

Hopefully you will forgive me.

Coming Into The 21st Century

This weekend I decided to take the leap and get an iPhone. First new phone in over 6 years, I just kept calling my phone a stupid phone. It could make phone calls, text and take pictures but that's it. I was way over due for a new phone. And I am so happy that I got the new iPhone.

I have been hooked since I got it, I don't think I have put the thing down since Saturday night. One of the guys I work with walked into the lab office saw my playing on it and was said productivity just went down because I got a iPhone. This was the same guy that later "stole" my phone when I left it sitting on my lab bench to get something from a tool box. Want to know the sad part of this? It took me at least 10 minutes to even realize the thing was gone, yep failure at keeping a phone safe. He then told me to but a lock on it because if he had the time he would of really messed with it...Just to let you all know, I majorly messed with his phone a couple of weeks ago and I am due to for pay backs.

I am also now on Instagram, if anyone wants to look me up my username is CoolHandLyndsey.

Okay back to playing with my phone.

Is the World Ending?

I'm pretty sure I have the weirdest family ever...

My stepdad's birthday is this weekend, so my mom and stepdad had a get together over at there house. Which basically means lots and lots of food, drinking and well bullshit. Guys I needed waders to get through the evening.

You would think that it was December 20, 2012 and the world was actually going to end the next day with all the "end of the world" discussions that was going on. It was determined that we would all move back to the farm (because it's the biggest homestead.) Kid you not there was talk about taking the 120 acre farm building a concrete fence (my brother in-law family owns a concrete company...) around the farm to build a fortress...

Then they were talking about all the things that we need to stock pile...in the order that we considered important.

1. Beer/Alchol
2. Cigars/Cigarettes
3. Shotguns/Guns of any type
4. Ammo for said guns

There was never really any talk about how what we were going to do for food...maybe I'll get some cows.

But it didn't stop there...we then started discussing over who got what room, what walls needed to be knocked down to put in fireplaces and where to add more bathrooms. It was determined Big-D and I would live in the hunting shack out back. We also discussed if we are going to let people into the fortress and how we would determine if they were worthy of being with us.

It ended with all the females going I'm glad my husband isn't the only one that thinks like this. Yep that's right somehow we became a family of "preppers" (as my mom likes to call us). Still trying to figure out what exactly we are prepping for though.

It was a very weird evening, probably didn't help that their was a lot of drinking involve. 

Maybe my family is just dysfunctional...

New Years Resolutions

I'm usually really bad at trying to follow through with New Years Resolutions but I've gotten smart over the last couple of years and make New Years Resolutions that I know (100% positive) that I can keep.

2012: Buy a puppy. (Completed in May of 2012).

So here are my New Years Resolutions for 2013: (In no particular order). 

1. Graduate
2. Buy a wedding dress
3. Manage to not pull out all my hair well shopping for said wedding dress
4. Run in the Color Run
5. Complete five things off my bucket list
6. Be a 50% Made in USA house hold (this one might actually be somewhat difficult to do).

Pretty easy stuff I know but, hey I'm a simple person I like to make it so I can feel accomplished and I am almost certain that all of those things will be put of until December. Expect the Color Run that is in May.

What are you New Years Resolutions?

PS: There will be future posts about Made in USA house hold, mainly where I stole the idea from and I will post my bucket list.

Remembering....

My Uncle Mike passed away a few weeks ago, the weekend right before finals. It was a really tough week and I really didn't try to think about it at the time. I had way to many other things going on and that was the last thing I wanted to deal with.

Today I was looking at some odd emails, he use to send me those stupid joke emails all the time. Half the time I wouldn't read them or I would only read half of them but for some odd reason I never deleted them. I am so happy that I didn't delete them, I've spent the better part of today reading through them and laughing.

Please if you are easily offended don't read them or read them and don't get mad at me.

I got some of these funny stories in several emails...they all made me laugh so I thought I would share them with all of you.

Wrong Bitch:
The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged French woman's poodle. 

The war weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?"

The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat."
The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog.

"Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired" She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!"
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog,tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, "Someone must defend my honor! This American should be put in his place!"
An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, "Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing.You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out the window!"

Burglary In Florida:

When southern Florida resident Nathan Radlich's house was burglarized recently, thieves ignored his wide screen plasma TV, his VCR, and even left his Rolex watch. What they did take, however, was 'a generic white cardboard box filled with a grayish-white powder.'   (That's the way the police report described it.) A spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale police said, 'that it looked similar to high grade cocaine and they'd probably thought they'd hit the big time.'

Later, Nathan stood in front of numerous TV cameras and pleaded with the burglars: 'Please return the cremated remains of my sister, Gertrude. She died three years ago.' The next morning, the bullet-riddled corpse of a local drug dealer known as Hoochie Pevens was found on Nathan's doorstep. The cardboard box was there too; about half of Gertrude's ashes remained. Scotch taped to the box was this note which said:"Hoochie sold us the bogus blow, so we wasted Hoochie. Sorry we snorted your sister. No
hard feelings. Have a nice day."

And you thought California was the only
land of fruits, nuts, and flakes!

Only In America: Not really as funny but is the truth.

Only in America .......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in America ......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke.

Only in America ......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

Only in America ........do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

Only in America .......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

Only in America ......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

EVER WONDER ....(I just want to make you think)

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Irish Coffee:
An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice in reviving her husband's libido.

'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor?

'Not a chance', she said. 'He won't even take an aspirin.'
'Not a problem,' replied the doctor.  Give him an 'IrishViagra'.

It' s when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee, he won't even taste it.

Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went.'

A week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress.
The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah!  T'was horrid!... Just terrible, doctor!'
'Really? ........What happened?' asked the doctor.
'Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate.
He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely!
With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cup and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters
and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop!
It was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!'
'Why so terrible?' asked the doctor, 'Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn'tgood?'
'Feckin jaysus, 'twas the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I'm sittin here, I'll never be able to show my face in 'McDonalds' again!

Gun Safety: (This is an old interview).
Guns don't kill people. People with moustaches kill people...
Best comeback line (On Gun Safety)
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
Love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL COSGROVE: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL COSGROVE: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went momentarily silent and the interview ended.

Hope you enjoyed the laugh, if you are offended I apologize.

Lots going on!

Sorry for being MIA the last week or so, had finals all last week so life got busy. Happy to be done with school for a month, I now have lots of time for Hank and those missed walks. Oh and I finally got to do a good clean on the house, OMG the dirt Hank brought in with his was ridiculous.

Anyways, I have spent the last weekend doing a couple things for the holidays around the house. A couple of fun projects and I have lots of recipes to share. I have a couple DIY gift projects (one that I still need to finish up).

I hope you all forgive me for the lack of post over the last week and stay tuned, lots of fun stuff to come up in the next week.

Future DIY Furniture

Big-D and I have a thing about big trucks. We both love big engines and both want big diesel engines in our next set of trucks. A lot of our conversations revolve around our trucks, what we want to do with the trucks. Really I feel like I live with a house full of boys because its trucks trucks trucks and hunting.

I bet you are wondering where I am going with this aren't you?

As I am sitting here I get a IM from Big-D.

It said:  "Can we do this when my engine dies?"

Okay let me first say, usually the pictures I get from him are of big trucks, big trucks stuck in mud, trucks pulling something, trucks with big engines, etc. I was totally not expecting this:

My reply was of course yes.

Let's be honest here wouldn't that just be flipping awesome sitting in my living room.

Sorry, this is what happens when you have two engineers living in one house.

The Hankarous

I am making Hank be a Dinosaur for Halloween...well kind of.

He looked really cute for the whole two seconds that the costume lasted...oh well.

"I tried to tell you I didn't want this thing on my head..."

"But did you listen? Nope, you never listen to me."

"I mean I look like a complete dork with my ears flipped back and everything but this is not on my head any more."

"I will now destroy you dinosaur head."

"Or give my an not to happy look when she is trying to take a cute picture of me."

Oh how I love this monster sweet boy. 

Hope every one has a safe and happy Halloween. Hope all is safe and sound from the storm, we have been getting crazy 50 mph winds and we are in Michigan, plus it was snowing yesterday.

Dear People...

Dear Family Member,

It is really not appreciated when you call me up last minute to invite me to an event and then get mad at me because I either have plans, class or work. It's not my fault that you weren't organized enough to give me enough time to plan accordingly.

Thanks,
Lyndsey

Dear Dad,

Why must you call me FIVE times in one hour to inform me you got another deer? I love hearing from you that you got a deer but seriously I do check my voice mail and would call you back.

Love,
Lyndsey

Dear Lady at Petsmart,

Please don't yank on your puppy like that, you are going to hurt the poor little things neck. If you haven't taught it to loose leash walk or to heal screaming heal at it a million times is not going to make it heal.

Thanks,
A Concerned Person

Dear Hank,

Really dude, do you need to sleep on my pillow while I am using it? You have like the rest of the bed to use and you choose my pillow. I mean I love you and all but I do like to use my pillow too.

Love,
Your Mama

Dear Family Member,

Who makes mashed potatoes and then does not provide gravy? Seriously gravy is a must with mashed potatoes. I know its not healthy but do you really think I care? I like my gravy, don't give me mashed potatoes useless you plan on providing the gravy.

Thanks,

Dear State of Michigan,

Seriously Michigan, seriously?!?! You suck, I love you as a state but does your government suck. Thank you for making us wait at least two more weeks.

Okay, done venting. Thank you for letting me use this blog as a place to vent about the people that have annoyed me this week.

Let's Play A Game...

Every once and a while we have to play a game called "Where's Hank?"

It's similar to "Where's Waldo" but instead of finding Waldo we are finding Hank.

This is where we found him last night...

For some odd reason he loves to sleep on our nice clean clothes...

PS: Don't judge my closet, if it makes you feel any better it annoys the crap out of me too.

Because Sometimes Life Sucks!

Unfortunately, Dennis was one of the many that lost their jobs on Wednesday of last week and it totally sucks. I actually miss him at work, I work third shift and he worked first shift, our desks were 15 feet apart and I got to see him for an hour at work. The worse part is, they never called him to tell him not to come in and he drove into work (wasted 3 gallons of gas that's like $12) and couldn't get through the gate...great way to find out that you no longer have your job. But I guess it could be worse, we both could of lost our jobs.

Anyways, house stuff is going to be slowed for a while...maybe, I asked him to do a couple times around the house but lets be honest deer hunting is way more important then taking down the fake brick crap so we can put in a fireplace. Ironically, to make myself feel better because I am back to being a poor college student, I painted a room and will hopefully have time to go get a new ceiling fan up this weekend. We did a couple of other odd and end jobs around the house but nothing to huge expensive.

Hopefully, I will have a deer hanging in my garage by Saturday night and I hope it's the one I kill. Going deer hunting this weekend, YES I ACTUALLY TOOK A WEEKEND OFF!

Anyways, hope everyone is well and stay tuned I am really hoping I can talk him into doing lots of stuff around the house, crap if I could get him to do the dishes it would be a small victory.
