Ten on Tuesday #11 -10 Things You Want for the Holiday

Do they have to be presents I would actually get? I say no!
1. A maid that will keep my house clean and cook our meals. :-)
2. A new car.
3. I cheated and saw this on the Neiman Marcus Christmas book - Guinness® Authentic Guinness Home Pub Package. The funny thing is my home pub would cost more than my house!
4. A large spread of land to build a house and have room for horses and a ton of animals.
5. Somebody to come in and help clothes shop. I mean someone to help me get really cool outfits that I feel good wearing!
6. A trip to Ireland or Italy.
7. My niece showed me this yesterday, it is a digital picture frame, but it is the size of 32" t.v. They have it on Brookstone's web site. This would be nice to show off my pictures I take.
8. A gourmet kitchen.....for the maid of course.
9. Walk in shower with one of those waterfall faucets....mmmm relaxing!
10. For my family and friends to have a prosperous and healthy year!!

Ten on Tuesday #9-10 Favorite Horror Movies

I am finally able to breathe a bit, so hopefully I can stay up with my blog posts.



1. When Darkness Falls-I think this plays on the fact it always scared me that the Tooth Fairy was able to get in my room and get under my pillow without waking me up!

2. The Messengers

3. The Hills Have Eyes

4. Saw - Sorry they lost me after the first one, some things are better to not have sequels.

5. Hostel

6. Final Destination - Once again after the first one they lost me.

7. 1408

8. Halloween

9. Carrie

10. Exorcist - Even though I watched this with my eyes closed half the time!!!

Ten on Tuesday #9 - 10 Things that Scare You/Freak You Out

This one was pretty easy for me, I am a scaredy cat!
1. Not hearing from my kids or husband and thinking something bad has happened to them.
2. Tornado's - Living in Texas we get our fair share of close calls. Our business was struck by one that hit in Downtown Fort Worth, luckily we weren't there but it took months to get things back in order.
3. Losing a close family member. I have been very lucky and am so thankful this has not happened to me.
4. Feeling like I have let someone down. I become obsessed in trying to figure out what I did wrong.
5. Really scary or freaky movies. When Night Falls is one of them. It's not like there is an evil tooth fairy out there that is trying to kill people, but I had nightmares about that movie!
6. My kids and their future. We always wish the best for our kids, but I sometimes panic that I have shared with them all they need to know.
7. Throw up. Enough said!
8. Having someone come over when my house is in shambles.
9. A bad hair day.
10. Broken hearts. No matter how hard you try to mend them, they will never go back quite the same again.

Ten on Tuesday #7 - 10 People I Would Like to Meet

I chose to do some from the past and some from the present.
1. Jesus - Now, I am in no hurry to meet him, I am enjoying being here with my family to rush it. I have so many questions I would like to ask him.
2. Annie Oakley - I wouldn't want to live during this time frame, but I would love to sit and visit with her. I was always fascinated reading about her.
3. Mae West- During a time when things were so conservative she was trying to break the mold. I would love to hear some of the tales she could tell.
4. Heath Ledger - I would like to know what was happening before his death. Knight's Tale is one of the movies I can watch over and over again.
5. Michael Jackson - Not that I am a fan of his, I would love to sit down and ask him what the heck happened to him. It fascinates me how someone can be on top of the world and then take such a u-turn.
6. Grace from Amazing Grace-Not the actress, but the character. I think she would be a blast to hang out with for a night.
7. Oprah - It would be neat to sit and visit with her.
8. John Travolta - What a career he has had, another one I would love to just talk with.
9. Michael Phelps - He is amazing.
10. Jonas Brothers-Okay I know this one is out there, but my daughter is such a huge fan, if I could I would love to meet them and take her with me so she would be one happy girl.

10 Memorable Vacation Moments

1. I was around 6 and we went to Florida. While at the campground, there was a pond with a ton of ducks in there. My sister and I had so much fun playing with them, that when it was time to leave, my sister helped me to sneak a baby duck in the back seat of the car. We hadn't made it out of the camp ground when the baby duck needed to poop. Let me tell you, it was not a pretty sight and my mom was very unhappy with us. If I recall correctly she could not even help with the cleanup!

2. Visiting my uncle in Texas and going to Astrolworld. Mom wanted to take a picture of us on a METAL horse statue. Mind you it was 100 + degrees in Texas. We had the fakest smiles on our face because our legs were being scalded!! See picture below!

3. We were visiting family in Tennessee and I love horses. My cousin and sister took me out to some land where my cousin had some horses. I wanted to ride one so badly but they had no bridle. Well the "older" girls decided I could ride with an elastic belt that came off one of their shorts and use that as reins. Needless to say that didn't go well and I almost wound up in the pond at the bottom of the hill! (I see a pattern here do you?)

4. On another trip, I believe it was to Tennessee again, big sis and I were going to ride a pony. The saddle was not on tight and when sis went to get on the saddle went sideways and she fell off. (I guess that was paybacks :-)

5. Travelling to Texas and my uncle taking us to the beach. I still can feel the sunburn. They showed us how seagulls would swoop down if you offered them any food. One time while we were there, he was fishing and actually caught a shark.

6. For my grandparents 50th wedding anniversay they took their whole family to Puerta Villarta Mexico. There was over 20 of us and they came as far as Chicago. It was so much fun!!

7. Hubby and I (being poor newlyweds) took a road trip to Corpus Christi. We had more fun on that trip and really didn't do anything special, just spent time together. He started a tradition on that trip. Whenever there is sand he makes a huge (usually 6 or 7 feet long) sand shark sculpture.

8. Hubby and I went with friends to Oklahoma for a week. We rented a cabin on the lake. We spent the week water skiing and just had a wonderful week of relaxation.

9. Our trip with my mom and dad. We went to Cozumel, Mexico for a week. It was wonderful and I really think that help with the kids bonding with their grandparents. We keep saying we really need to do that again, and I hope we do soon!

10. Most recently our trips have were built around Nate's baseball of football. He played in a multi state allstar game (in high school) in Oklahoma and it was a great trip. Even with all the baseball games we did take time to visit the OKC Bombing Memorial and took in many wonderful sights.

10 On Tuesday-Sports I Like to Play or Watch

http://www.yanowhatimean.com/tuesday/

• 1. Nate has played football since he was 7, so I would have to say this has become my favorite, plus it is something Hubby and I can both watch and enjoy.
  



• 2. Baseball seems to be getting a bit boring to me, but I still love to go out to the ballpark and watch a game at least once a year. (Where else can you get a hot dog and peanuts that are that good.)
  



• 3. I like to watch hockey, but not as much as my Hubby.
  



• 4. Now on to something I like to play. I have always loved basketball (notice I didn't say good), but I do like to shoot some hoops with the kids.
  



• 5. Growing up, I played fast pitched softball for years, since I had back surgery I have not been able to play this anymore. It is a favorite of mine!
  



• 6. Is water volleyball a sport? I enjoy playing that one.
  



• 7. Ping Pong, now that is a cool sport. I like it when they get going all across the room!



• 8. We like to go to the horse races at least once a year, and I like watching the races.



• 9. I like walking (for exercise that is). I put my earphones in and head off and I lose track of time. The hard part is living in Texas when we are reaching 100 degree temps, I am not getting out in that.



• 10. I honestly can't come up with another, which makes me realize I need to get out and take up a few additional sports!

10 Inventions That Have Made Life Easier

This is my first post for a 10 on Tuesday:

1. It goes with out saying my number one item is my laptop. Not being tied down to the desk makes it so nice to surf the net. It has a 17" widescreen so it is not one I carry around all the time, but sure makes it nice for viewing!

2. Would have to be my cell phone. Although at times I have to remind myself that it does have an off button on it. I have been out trying to enjoy a day of shopping and the kids would call it over and over again about the smallest things!

3. Is my digital camera. What a waste of film I had before I invested in my camera. Now I just snap away and if the photo's are bad I just delete them. I think it has also helped me become a better photographer because I don't hesitate to snap all those shots.

4. The next one is not really a new item, but an improved item, so I am calling a new invention. It is the gallon sized Lipton Tea Bags. For years I have had to unwrap 4-5 large tea bags and if I made the mistake of buying the little ones, 8-10 of those. I happened on the gallon size bags and it I really don't mind making iced tea anymore.

5. I wouldn't know what I would do if I didn't have my pool cleaner. I love having a swimming pool, but I don't have much time for maintanence. This item pretty much makes taking care of my pool a breeze. We have given it the name "Alien".

6. This one is rather new to us, but I have to say the hard to get around to excercising has become a little easier with it. Let me tell you, the hula hoop on advanced will really burn some calories! It is our Wii Fit. You lose track of time also, so you spend more time "buring calories".

7. USB drives. I love being able to just grab files and go without burning CD's. Also in the print industry they are a must! (Speaking of that sis I think I left mine at your house)

8. This one kind of goes with number 3. My hubby bought me a digital picture frame and I love it! It is so nice to walk in the room and see all my photo's scrolling, it is not the same picture. Sometimes I find myself stopping and just looking at them all over and over again.

9. My vacuum! With two Labs, we have massive amounts of black dog hair that seems to just jump off those dogs. I brush them 3 times a week and use anti shed shampoo, but it is still a battle. I have a Bissell vacuum that really does it's job!

10. Panini maker it is. We love making these and it is so easy the kids will actually make their own. Anything that makes less time in the kitchen for me is a winner!!!
