Can you seriously believe next week it will be July?!?!?!  Gah!!! It was barely spring/warm weather…it was June and then *POOF*  Sigh….  I can whole heartedly say though, that our summer weather has hit.  As in….it has been in the high 90′s this past week.  My sister and I were in Sun Goddess mode Monday and Tuesday, taking the six kiddos to the pool (hers and ours).  Thursday I took the kiddos to the zoo and it was 99degrees…..  Whoa.  See why the pool always seems so appealing to me?  Any days involving near triple digit temps should most definitely involve water as well.  Just sayin….

(oh and another reminder- looking for July 4th themed TFT pics!!!  Email me!)

Farm life….
We don’t have the ‘best’ relationship with our neighbors to the south of us.  They love to come and bitch about something we’ve done/they don’t like (a fence issue, dog issue, other animal issue….) and always when PC has conveniently just left.  Gotta love tactics like that.  So yes…things are relatively ‘strained’.  Well, so the other night when a different (nicer) neighbor stopped by at 10pm-ish to let us know one of our horses was down on the road (again- we do have a annoying slight problem of our miniature horses slipping through the fence often)…imagine my um, opposite of chagrin delight to find out it wasn’t one of our horses, but rather the not-so-nice-neighbors horse (donkey…same difference-kind-of-not-really-but-you-get-the-idea, lol).  *SMIRK*

A week from today I’ll be in Roxy-ville (with PC in tow *grins*) getting my Roxy fix.  It’s been too long…..various trips that fell through in June prevented us from getting together like we usually do.  My happy meter tends to go down when we don’t get to see each other at least once a month somewhat regularly.

So there you go.  Randomness.

Have a perfectly fabulous Friday!!!

1. How do you differentiate between love and lust?
Love is long term, something you feel with your heart.  Lust is short term and something you feel with your libido. *ahem*

2. You are happily married, engaged, or committed in a relationship, yet you have a hot sexy dream about someone you have always wanted to do it with. Have you cheated at least in your mind?
*snort*  Uh, no…..  I mean.  If that were the case, you might as well consider fantasizing about someone cheating.  Which would be silly.  I think ‘cheating’ is defined differently by different people’s relationship, but IMO, this isn’t cheating in any sense.

3. Do you trust your significant other?
190% if that is possible.  Even when he does something that catches me off guard, that I don’t like or wish he hadn’t done (*ahemheknowswhati’mtalkingaboutahem*) it doesn’t waiver my trust in him.  He is THE most trust worthy person I have ever met in my entire life. It is definitely one (of MANY) of his most admirable traits.  I *heart* him…..  <3

4. How important is your Husband or Wife wearing their Wedding bands?
Um…  I’m thinking the wording is a bit jacked up here.  I’m guessing they meant “How important TO your Husband is wearing your Wedding band”.  I think it’s fairly important.  I mean he paid a small fortune for it.  And if it’s NOT on my hand he’s probably wondering WHY and whether it’s going to get lost bc it’s not where it belongs- safe and sound on my hand.  *LOL*  That is my guess anyways….

Is it important to you and why?
VERY!  I *LOVE* that he wears his wedding band.  It means a lot to me.  My exH never wore his, not once.  And the fact that PC loves to wear his and hates to take it off says a lot to me about him and us and how he feels about me.  I know it’s only a ring.  But it’s *important* to me, shows me that he takes our vows seriously and belongs to me.  ~GRINS~

5. Do you feel that flirting is OK if you are taken?
Definitely.  I’m a HUGE flirt, it’s what I do, part of who I am.  And so is PC.  It’s a major part of his personality and I find it very cute and endearing.  So do many other people.  I think people are put at ease bc of it.  Flirting is innocent, propositioning is not (unless it’s a hot girl I dig ~wicked grin~).

Bonus (as in optional):If you were 100% guaranteed not to get caught having a one night stand with someone else, would you?
No.  Bc if I wanted to do that I would let PC know.  Why would I go behind his back and do something sneaky that would KILL me with guilt when I can just talk to him about it and he’d probably make it happen?!  (and IMO, where cheating is concerned, it’s NEVER 100% guaranteed….)

Lucy is my girl. 

She was the first born to a teen mom who was freaked and not intereseted in taking care of her.  Daisy as a mom was one step above bottle feeding.  I raised these babies, have been their second mommy for the last 11wks.  I have this silly albeit special bond with her.  It’s been a *very* difficult decision to place her.  But I know in my heart it’s what is best for her.  She *deserves* to have a family of her own, that she doesn’t have to share with a household full of other, older loved furbabies.  Not that we don’t love her to absolute pieces….but she needs her own family, to herself.  Lucy is SMART, she learned basic commands (sit, stay, down, come) in several days, is housebroken, knows her name and from her expressions, everything I say to her too.  She’s a very special little girl.  Today I’m flying (roundtrip) to Dallas to hand deliver her to her new family.  A recently widowed mom and her two sons.  They have been searching for a Mini Texas Heeler since last December, had recent tragedy in their life and looking to mend their hearts.  They are over the moon to have Lucy become part of their family.  I think it’s a good match for her forever home.

BTW, as ‘not great’  of a mom as she was (I’m being nice here, lol), Daisy *LOVES* Lucy.  Lucy was by FAR her favorite.  Maybe she’s making up for that first day when she all but abandoned Lucy for me to take care of.  Daisy might not have been the best mommy in the world but she’s a good girl.

Mute Monday- Liberty

******

We had an awesome weekend.  But SO busy.  Saw Angels and Demons, it was surprisingly good.  Had an awesome day weather wise Sunday and took the kiddos to Elitches Amusement park, we get season passes every year.  It was a *PERFECT* day for it!  These last couple/few weeks of school winding down are just proving to be insane.  Both kids teachers have decided to squeeze in last minute field trips.   LM has a bday (and bday party) coming up that I am planning for.  GAH.

I made a decision last weekend to sell my Pygmy does and replace them with baby goats (boys- whethers).  I had really been missing my big goat Tucker that I had to put down last fall.  It was a devastating decision and time.  And while I swore I wouldn’t get another male goat bc of the illness (male-oriented) that he died from, I have come to realize that what I loved most about Tucker where the qualities you find IN a male goat.  So the kids and I acquired two (male) baby goats that require being bottle fed twice daily.  They are adorable.

So that has become time consuming.  Seriously though, bwtn the baby chicks we are raisng, the new baby goats, last years baby horse being weaned, horses out on pasture during the day….spring on a farm is :::BUSY:::……  *lol*

Not to mention my Daisy girl is pregnant and due this week (which I have already mentioned is super hectic and busy).  My little rat dog Joey hurt one of his back hips while playing with one of the bigger dogs over the wkend.  And one of the baby goats seems to be sick.

*deep breaths*

Anyways!~  Happy MONDAY!!!!!

Friday Favorites-

Educating Baby…..  This is so insanely creative and sexy.  I love it.

Thursday’s Child…..  She’s got legs, she knows how to use them…  Oh.  But yes.  SHOES!!  LEGS!!!

Biscuit….. Voyeurism at it’s absolute FINEST.  *fans self*

Diana’s Dreams…..  Lovely curves and shadowing.  Seriously.

Crappy weather hit us Thursday.  Rained all day and turned to snow that night.  Yay…..(*groan*)  I actually don’t mind the wet and snow.  Green grass and lots of it saves me money bc it means having to buy less hay for the horses and goats!  And honestly, it’s pretty.  Spring and early summer is my favorite time of year here.  It gets SO green and lush.  It’s *breathtakingly beautiful*.  The source of my complaint comes from the fact that we are still heating our house with space heaters.  When it’s sunny and nice out= the house is warm and heated solarly (is that a word? lol).  When it’s cold= not so much.  *sigh*

We did finally get our underground utilities located.  No reason to bore anyone with those details but it wasn’t ‘simple’.  Now a trench is required to be dug so that the propane company can come back out to replace the line.  Awesome.  Sounds FUN, no?  Doh.

Oh.  And so far since PC popped the fox over a week ago he’s not made another appearance.  The downside to this is I’m left wondering What the hell happened to him!?!??!?  Is he dead?  Did he get spooked and is waiting to come back when things ‘settle’ down? I dunno…..  But I’ve become the crazy lady who stands staring out her windows waiting and watching.  It’s my OCD.  Which I keep attempting to calm by reminding myself- there is nothing I can do.  I have done, we are doing, everything we can.  Short of forcing them to live in the hen house 24/7 and never seeing daylight, or inviting them into the house (neither of which are options *snort*).  Life on a farm.  Oh well.

ANYWAYS.  TGIF baby!  ~wink~  Have a kick ass weekend!!!
