When I was growing up I can remember that our grandfather would clean out the barn with the tractor, pushing all the manure out into the front lot. When it would rain, it would create a large recessed mud and clay pool at the front of the barn. We would go out there barefoot and actually wade through the recessed pool of manure and mud just to have fun. Of course we would get fussed at for going out there in the lot where the cows were but we didn’t care. It was a lot of fun and something to do to pass the time.
When we got back to the house we would have to wash the dry mud off our legs before going in but to us, this was fun. Whether it was wading through manure piles, chasing chickens around the yard, creating problems for our grandfather all the time, or trekking through the woods setting out on a new adventure, there was nothing like growing up on the farm.

I think it is so funny to observe the females of our species. I’m referring specifically to my daughter. She will spend hours sitting at her bedroom vanity staring into the mirror, fussing with her hair and her make-up until she looks so perfect that you can’t tell she’s wearing any make-up at all and her hair looks perfectly tousled. I have a hard time suppressing a smile because I think she is beautiful no matter what.
Tonight she recruited my wife to help her go through her closet to look for the cropped denim jacket and the Jessica Simpson Clancey Boots that she wants to wear on her big date with Trevor. This big date is actually several weeks away – it is for a Valentine’s dance at school. But she wants to pick out the perfect outfit and make sure everything fits and “goes” together and is clean and not missing any buttons and seams are all properly sewn. Or maybe properly ripped – it is hard to tell in this day and age when the kids walk around wearing what they wear! Some of the things they wear look like the old clothes my wife threw out into the rag bag years ago!
Yes, it is truly amusing to watch the women fuss so much over their appearance. Makes me glad I’m a man!

My heart goes out to the victims of the big earthquake in Haiti! So many people killed – the capital completely demolished! It is hard to imagine such pain and sorrow. It is heartening, however to see how many countries are getting involved in sending rescue and relief. Kudos to the International community for their humanitarian efforts. Haiti has had a lot of troubles, that is for sure!

My sister is very excited about her up and coming appointment at Sono Bello next week. She has been wanted to have some Laser Liposuction done for some time now. For Christmas her husband gave her a gift certificate to have the work done for her, so now she has no excuse for putting it off. The look on her face when she opened the card up Christmas afternoon was priceless. She didn’t know if she should be upset or happy, you could see her little brain working up a storm, we could even smell a bit of smoke going on in there! LOL
She has always had a bit of a weight issue and since giving birth to two kids, she has been struggling, big time, so we are all hoping that this liposuction will do the trip and make her a happy camper with her body once and for all. Sono Bello has a great reputation and we all feel comfortable in having them do the procedure. Sono Bello does hundreds of laser assisted body contouringprocedures every month and all of their physicians are board certified. They advertise that they can permanently reshape your body in just one session. So we will see what they can do for her and hope for the best all the way around.

We are getting a Panda Express at our local mall sometime in the next few weeks. I really like their food and I am pleased that I will no longer have to make a long drive to the next town over to order from their menu. Their Orange Chicken is great, I haven’t been able to find any other place that makes Orange Chicken quite the way that they do. Their prices are affordable as well, so it’s all good!
