Wordless Wednesday!!

Welcome to the 23rd Edition of Wordless Wednesday!


Wordless Wednesday is a great day to post an awesome picture that “speaks” for itself, no words needed!

Never Growing Old
 
Tall's Senior Pictures!!
 




Time to link up and meet!!
 

If you would like to add the linky to your own post, use the code below to copy and paste into your blog:




What's been going on......

Whew....thing are hopefully settling down for me!   Taxes are done....Venti, Tall and Shorts birthday's....done...our Anniversary done...Easter....done....now its smoothing sailing until our vacation in June and Grande's birthday in July!  Maybe now I can get back to some regular blogging!!

In case you missed my last update and want to catch up, start here.

My job is going well.  The other girl that I started with that doesn't like it and is looking for another job is still there.  I'm hoping she sticks around but if not I'll be fine without her!  I have the job pretty much down pack now so its much easier and I feel like I know what I'm doing!

I did end up getting my period but it was really light and only lasted 2 days which is kinda strange but I'm gonna guess that the vasectomy did work and I'm not pregnant.  I was nauseous the other day after lunch and my boobs feel heavier but I just find it very hard to believe that after all these years it stopped working.  It has to be something to do with the beginning of menopause and just leave it at that.

Short just had a birthday and turned 11!  We look him bowling which we haven't gone in years and everyone had a blast.  I couldn't believe how many muscles you use when you bowl because when I got up the next day I could really feel it!

His birthday choice was orange sherbert!  He didn't want cake!


He got an Ipod Touch which he was thrilled with!


Tall and his girlfriend at the bowling alley.


Short and his friend.



Tall is going to the prom with his girlfriend next Friday.  We just ordered his tux and the flowers.  I'll be sure to post lots of pictures!!

I hope everyone has a nice Easter.  Mine was okay.  If you remember me saying that when Venti moved out to Chicago that we could communicate via Skype.  We did Skype on Short's birthday and it was awesome!  That was on the 20th....well ever since then we were saying that I would bring my laptop to my parents house to Skype on Easter with Venti and Mocha and that way everyone could say hello and "see" each other.  Venti said that was a great idea.  Well Easter morning he text me to say Happy Easter and I text back saying the same and to let me know what time he wanted to Skype.  He wrote back saying they were going to Mocha's sister's husbands house for dinner and they would be eating at 2pm and that he would let me know.  So I took my laptop to my parents house, hook it all up..connected the internet and waited..and waited.
Finally at 5:15pm when I didn't hear from him yet and my one sister and her family were leaving, I text Venti and asked him what time did he want to skype because people were starting to go home....he never text me back until 5:30pm and said that they just got done eating (even though he said earlier they were eating at 2pm) and that he wouldn't be able to skype and that maybe we could do it next weekend!  I couldn't believe it!  Like everyone was going to come back next weekend just to skype!  He didn't call all day or did he call his Grandparents.  If you remember from Christmas and the incident that happened that day you would think he wouldn't have pulled another one this holiday!  Sigh...

Tall and his Girlfriend helped Short dip Easter Eggs!




Easter Morning!
Tall finds out this week his SAT scores which will determine if he gets into the college he wants to go to...the one that Grande already got accepted to.  I'm crossing my fingers!

So that's whats been happening in my neck of the woods!

Happy Easter!!!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter and just a reminder that there will be no Meet Me On Monday this week because of the holiday! i will be spending the day with my family!

On Tuesday I will be posting an update on all about whats been going on in my life....with lots of pictures too and Wordless Wednesday will resume on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful day!!!!

Meet Me On Monday!!

Welcome to the 43rd edition of 
"Meet Me On Monday!"
 
Blogging  is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read  and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is  this person!?"  I know them...but yet I don't know them!  I want  to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great  way for all of us to "meet" each other!

Every Sunday Never Growing Old will post five get to know you  questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

Java will add a linky so we can follow who participates and get to know them  better!!  Be sure to link the POST and not just your whole blog!!

Meet Me On Monday


Question #2 compliments of Helen at A Crafty Kind of Truffle!!

Questions:

1.  Caesar Salad or Garden Salad?

3.  Last thing you spent lots of money on?
4.  Window seat or aisle seat?
5.  Do you know your blood type?

My Answers!

1.  Caesar Salad or Garden Salad?
     
       My favorite is Caesar Salad with Ranch Dressing!  Yum!



2.  Will you be watching the Royal Wedding on April 29th?

        I really want to watch it but I will be at work...:(   I'm sure I will be able to watch reruns of it or catch some videos on TV!!

    3.  Last thing you spent lots of money on? 

            That would have to be the deposit for our trip to Mexico in June.  Now we just have to save for the other half!


    4.  Window seat or aisle seat?

          Aisle seat!  I don't like feeling like I'm trapped in somewhere....plus its more convenient if you have to go to the bathroom!

          Yes, I am A-

    Joe and I getting our pedicures for our Anniversary!!
     


     
    Time to link up and meet!!
     

    If you would like to add the linky to your own post, use the code below to copy and paste into your blog:





    Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary!!

     Today 25 years ago I married Joe!  Hard to believe that many years have gone by.  We have had our ups and down like any other couple but in the end we are here and we are together.


    I am working a half day today and then we are meeting for lunch and then we have a 1:45pm appointment to get pedicures together!  Joe has always complained about his feet and his callouses so I thought what a great surprise to make an appointment for both of us to get one together.  And what a great surprise it would have been if the salon wouldn't have called to remind me of the appointment right when we were driving in my car which just happens to have the hands free bluetooth and all the calls come through loud and clear through the radio.

    Salon:  "Hi can I speak to Java?"

    Me:  "Speaking"

    Salon:  "This is TB Nail Salon calling to remind you of your appointment on Tuesday April 12th at 1:45pm for you and your husband for pedicures"

    Me: "Ummmm yeah ok...thanks"

    So she ruined the surprise! Oh well...he is excited about it so I will let you know how it goes!

    After the pedicures we have reservations for dinner at our favorite restaurant and the home to relax and maybe some quite time...:)

      Question #2 (Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them) compliments of Hilary at  Feeling Beachie   Thanks Hilary!!!

      If you have a question suggestion please email me at: nevergrowingold@hotmail.com and if I use your question I will give you a shout out! 

      Questions:

      1.  If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
      2.  Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them?
      3.  Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?
      4.  What is your favorite candle scent?
      5.  Coffee or tea?
      ---------------------------------------------------------------
      My Answers!

      1.  If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
           
             Bread!  I LOVE bread and could easily eat just that and be happy!



      2.  Do you write your blog posts in advance or the day you post them?

              In advance!  Usually the night before and schedule them to be posted the next day...with the exception of Meet Me On Monday which I do the same day because it takes a long time!
        3.  Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? 

                Only once when I was 5.  I was at the beach with my family and the beach house had heating vents in the middle of the floors....apparently it was cold one of the days and so they turned the heat on....but they turned it on too high and I happened to walk across the vent and burned my feet really bad!  I remember riding in the ambulance and having both my feet bandaged up for the rest of the vacation!


        4.  What is your favorite candle scent?

              I love Hazelnut Coffee, Spiced Pumpkin, Banana Bread or Brown Sugar...anything like that!


        5.  Coffee or Tea?

              Definitely tea!!  I do not like coffee at all!!  I know....surprise surprise!!  I had you all fooled that I'm a coffee drinker!  Nope!!  I like tea hot or cold!
