Thursday night it poured rain all night long. Friday morning I looked outside at the neighbors yard and this is what I saw:


At one pointe there were 4 geese and 1 duck all swimming together!


Photo update from the bridal shower I co-hosted this past Saturday. This was my first attempt at fruit skewers, yummy. I also made rice krispie treats that were supposed to look like mini wedding cakes. Everything turned out great!

On the way home I had to pull over to take some photos of the wind farms in NW Iowa. Air/wind is free so why aren't there more wind farms?

Confession:
I like bad tv.

I am blaming my addiction to this guy's show on my husband. Why oh why Bret do you do that thing with your lips? It is not appealing in any way at all. It makes me laugh and it makes me laugh harder when my husband does it out of the blue just for laughs.

I am also happy Gossip Girl is back on for a few more episodes

Okay, and one more guilty pleasure. The Hills. Yes, it's true. Why doesn't Heidi see how terrible Spencer is?

Okay now I need to redeem myself a little.
Duff makes mad cakes and his staff rocks, what a fun place to work!

I am so very very sad that this show has come to an end. Long live the reruns and Black Lavender and Bobby Light.

Saw this guy last night (for free!) and had a phenomenal time! This was my second time seeing him and he puts on a rockin' show, he is a very talented man.

so........this guy gave me some trouble yesterday

my thumb got in the way of the blade and this piece came flying off and landed on my desk next to the radio...(dirty fingernail alert)
I didn't even have time to think really, just stuck my thumb into my mouth and grabbed the piece and ran to find mike. The pain didn't really hit until he was bandaging me up. It was too small of a piece to sew back on or need stitches but it was not a small chunk. As you can see it took off my nail and a hunk of skin. gross.

Here is me with my bandaid:

Here is the splint the doctor gave me today to help me not bump it on things. Supposed to wear it a couple of weeks.....we will see about that. He also gave me a tetanus shot which is probably a good thing.

Here is the guard I bought at walmart, definitely easier to work with!

You don't realize how much you use your thumb until you can't use it anymore. Try squeezing a shampoo bottle, tying your shoes, or just holding a water bottle. It will take some time to get used to but at least it wasn't a larger portion of my finger!
