How I feel today....

I hate being sick!

More Angel Trumpets...

By now, I'm sure you've all seen my yellow Angel's Trumpets.... But I have one more plant that I planted a little after those.... It never flowered until last night.... but then today, the flower closed up.... So tonight, I went out in the dark and grabbed a few shots.... Beautiful! I was scared this plant may not even make it... I planted it on top of an old stump that I found buried in the yard... It took it a long time to get a good foothold, but it finally has and it is going nuts now! Excuse the insect damage to the leaves... I have a few catterpillars going nuts on it... I think I like these white flowers even more than the yellow ones! I wish that ya'll could smell them.... It is amazing walking out the door at night....

Hello!

First off... I have a new renter! So let's all be neighborly and go over and say hi to Dude Where's My Prozac? Tell her guppyman sent you. So... it's November.... How is your garden doing? Here's a couple of shots that I took of mine yesterday.... I can't believe how well the Angel Trumpets are doing! Every day when you walk out, you are greated with hundreds of flowers that smell beautiful.... Glad I planted those. - The hibiscus took off this year... I've had that one for a few years in a pot and it never really did that well.... I think it likes it's place in the ground though.... How about where I'm at with Santa and Baby Jesus.... Not quite done yet, but it's getting there.... I think I'm going to like this one... And see... I really did get on skates! Anyway... None of that matters today! What really matters is that I am married to the most wonderful woman in the world! Today is our anniversary. So I'm getting off of here and going to show her all the love and affection that I can.

How's life?

How is everybody doing today? I just figured I'd hop on and talk about what's happening with my life for a second... Hope I don't bore you to tears.... Today my sister went in for surgery... She had a Fundoplication - Not just any doplication... This one was a FUN-doplication... I just called and she is in the recovery room now... Pray for a speedy recovery and maybe finally an end to her problems.... Friday is our first anniversary! It's hard to believe just a year ago we got married... I am truly blessed to have found the love of my life... Check out our wedding vows! I'm getting closer to finishing Santa... I have a little bit of detail work on his face, and some detail work on Baby Jesus to finish, then just some sealer and it's done! Pictures will come... I got on roller skates last night! Our church handed out free passes to go skating, and I figured it was a great opportunity to take my daughter... We had a blast! I haven't looked yet, but there may even be pictures... we'll see. Tonight after work, we have to figure out how to go see my sister, get the house totally cleaned up, and possibly run to a Wal-Mart where Brandon Backe will be signing autographs.... Too much to do, so little time...... And last, here are a few links for your viwewing pleasure: First up is something I'd love to have in my house... Check out Steve's Home Theater And next: How not to do a burnout on a bike (watch the guy in back) Have a great day everybody!

Fresh spam....

I just went thru the 2000 spam e-mails I found in my spam folder... holy crap... They are getting horrible... Before when they couldn't spell... that was almost ok... but now... they can't even put the words in the right order either.... Drives me insane.... Anyway... here are a few I grabbed for your enjoyment.... Your wife will think its the best purchase. snafu What is snafu, why would I need it, and what exactly will it do for my wife? Why let people know about your intimate life? Because i'm a blogger. That's what I do. I tell people what's going on in my life, and for some strange reason they are halfway interested and come back for more. 65% of members got laid In their lifetime? What is this, a Star Trek club? Tired of thinking about it? Why yes I am... thanks for asking. Brain? Yes Pinky? Remember the old days? You mean back when you assholes didn't send me unsolicited e-mail? If you do not read this email, there is 97% that your financial situation will not improve Oh boy... psychic financial advisors! Where do i sign up? Can you afford not to read this? No... by not reading it I will probably end up a bum on skid row... but it's a chance I just have to take. New mail from Alla for you More mail from the god of Islam? This is the third time he's tried to get hold of me... I wonder who gave him my e-mail address? If it's about those 72 virgins... he can keep em... I found something! So did I... My delete key.

What should I do?

First a word for our renter.... If you haven't visited Joe over at God Even Loves Idiots Like Me, go do so... Tell him guppyman sent you! On to our regularly scheduled post..... I have 2 other blogs which have been badly neglected... Guppyman's Pic Dump and Diary of a lesbian Guinea Pig The pic dump hasn't had an update since July, the Guinea's haven't been updated since September... Should I bother keeping either of these around? I always forget the pic page is there, but I love having the space to see how things progress... I will keep this one and hopefully remember to post some new pics on it soon.... The guinea pigs- This was a blast at first... Everyone was very positive about it and i had some great fun... but I quit being able to think of things that I could post. I keep wanting to get it started again, but I don't know.... Maybe if I went to weekly updates or something...? What do you think? Should I keep em, or give them the axe?

Santa Progress....

Today, I got a little bit of work done on Santa. Not too much because we went to my niece's birthday party.... Here's Santa during the off season... He washed that grey right out of his beard... Here's the grey starting to come back in.... And a little bit of color in his suit... Here's my niece who is turning 15! Dang... She was born like last week? 15? Damn... I'm getting old! While we were at my sister's, I noticed that the bench I gave her actually does get used! Yay!

Latest Project

Here's the latest thing I'm working on.... I cut it out the other day and finally traced the lines over last night.... Next, I need to start painting.... Just in case you can't tell what it should be, here's the pattern I am working off of.... Should be cool to have some new yard decorations this year.... I have this pattern too... Hopefully I still have enough plywood in the garage to cut it out. I'll let ya'll see how they turn out once I get some paint slapped on...
