RaNdOm....

1. I have a set of knives in one of those knife block things... but they are never ever all clean at the same time, there is always at least one knife missing at any given time.

2. I would like a new set of knives, really nice ones like the Pioneer Woman uses.

3. Have you ever had Hone BBQ Fritos? They are spiral shaped, and its impossible to reach into the bag and pull out more than 2 fritos at a time with your hand. Its IMPOSSIBLE. Try it.

4. One of my boyfriends I had when I lived in Salem is almost completely bald now.

5. I actually only had 1 boyfriend when I lived in Salem.

6. I dont talk to ANY of my ex boyfriends.

7. Today our Pastor was gone from church, so the worship pastor filled in for him. And the youth pastor filled in for the worship pastor and it was AMAZING!! I want the youth pastor to be our worship pastor every week.

8. I feel bad about the above statement, because I do really like our regular worship pastor.

9. I have been watching Big Brother 12. And I like it. And it goes against everything I believe in when it comes to reality TV and the amount of time I should/or shouldnt spend watching TV.

10. I miss running.

11. Ok, I miss running. A LOT! Its too hard to run in hot weather, so I have been swimming, which I love. But I love running more.

12. I never thought I would love running, or miss running.

13. I booked my room in Spokane for Bloomsday next year.

14. I picked our first 2 cherry tomatos today.

15. I ate both of them.

16. Weight Watchers sucks.

17. But it works.

18. If I stick to it.

19. But thats really hard.

20. The word "tomatos" above looks weird... should it have been "tomatoes"?

21. We might get a cat, or well, a kitten. My family wants one really bad. I do too, but I dont want to be allergic. And I dont want anymore vet bills. Oh and that litter box thing... dont want that either.

22. We will probably get a cat.

23. Someday I am going to get a Corgi dog.

24. Big Brother is coming on in 18 minutes.

25. I need to put my clothes in the dryer.

26. I want new clothes.

27. We have almost all of Harleys school clothes bought.

28. I would name my Corgi, Alice.

29. I dont know what I am doing next weekend.

30. Big Brother in 15 minutes.

Fathers Day @ Clear Lake

I know this post is about a month overdue...

We spent Fathers Day at Clear Lake, which is about 40 miles southwest of Sisters Oregon.

Dennis grew up going to Clear Lake often, and its one of his favorite places ever!! He's been dying to take me up there since we got together, but I have refused because of a few of the "minor" details he told me.

Deal breaker # 1: "we sleep in rustic cabins and take our own sleeping bags, and in the morning when we wake up we have to shake the dead spiders and bugs off of our blankets"

And this sounds like a good time why???

Deal breaker # 2: "when the sun starts to go down, we take a row boat out on the lake and bats fly around our heads"

Excuse me??

Yet, summer after summer came around and he would ask to take me to Clear Lake. Finally this year I said yes, under 2 condiions!!!

We would sleep in a MODERN cabin, and there would be NO viewing of the BATS!!!

We went for 3 whole nights, the cabin was awesome, and it was too cold for bats and bugs :)

The beautiful Lake...




There are about 100 row boats to rent...


Our boat for the weekend.... #4


Den and Harley fishing.... Harley usually leads in amount of fish caught.


A few pics of and around the cabin....














As I mentioned, the weather was unseasonably cold. I picked up this puzzle for $2 at a yard sale, and the lady swore to me that all the pieces were there. So I brought it along. I'm so glad that we had it!!! I get a little obsessed with jigsaw puzzles. I was so cozy in my MODERN cabin, putting together my puzzle while Dennis and the kids fished and rode bikes.



But they helped with the puzzle too. Everyone contributed.


After a while... everything starts looking like this...


And I got up extra early on the last day so I could finish it!! It was the hardest puzzle ever!!


Fathers Day weekend was a good one. We ate a TON of good food, caught some fishies, hung out around the puzzle, drank hot chocolate, and enjoyed our time together at this wonderful place.

And we can go back to Clear Lake anytime now....
