Congrats, Fun, Party, Bag Whore!

Hi all! Now that I caught your attention with my title...I have some news to report on my weekend...First, I want to congratulate Tracy for being the winner of the "I Spy" last week! It was a tree that we cut down about 2 weeks ago and it was a close up of the stump. The tree was 52 inches at the base! It was huge...check out this picture of it!

The tree right beside the garage (to the Right) is the one we cut, and that's my dad cutting away at it...here's a close up of him and the wedge they had to make to get it started... For some more size perspective...here's Dan's dad standing on the stump...
Here's a better shot of the stump...

After the tree was down there was a lot of cutting to do, look at my sweetie!

CONGRATULATIONS TRACY! email me your address to mrs.conn2@yahoo.com so I can send your TAC prize!

Yesterday I helped Barb at the CTC picnic and had a blast...check out this photo...it's our friend Matt pictured with us and we think he's the prettiest one in the photo!

Today was my Uppercase Living Party and it went great...everyone loved the product. I won't be closing my show until next Sunday or so, so feel free to check it out online and let me know if you are interested in anything...here's what you need to check it out:

Hey all! What a beautiful day outside today...I need to get out there! First I have to prepare some thing for my Uppercase Living Party on Sunday since I'm helping Barb at the CTC Picnic tomorrow all day. Don't forget, if you are reading this you are invited! Email me for information or directions mrs.conn2@yahoo.com. The interview went very well today. I feel confident that I did my best and that's all I can do. Next week they will notify the 2 or 3 finalists and then at a later date another interview with the school board will be set. Keep your fingers crossed (and toes) and say a prayer for me!

Later taters,

"I Spy" & Good News!

Hey all...are you ready for this week's "I Spy" picture? This is the only part of my blog that DH is interested in. He knows what the picture is and thinks it's a hard one! Submit your guesses to my email mrs.conn2@yahoo.com by tomorrow evening (10:00). Submissions with correct answers will be put into a drawing that DH will conduct and a winner will be named. The winner will receive a special TAC product!

I also wanted to let you all know that I have another interview on Friday so PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE pray for me! I am excited, but there's only 1 position so I doubt I'll get it....interview practice is helpful anyway.

Also, some of you inquired about where Penn Run is for that Oct. 11th crop and it is near Indiana. Let me know if you want a flyer mailed to you!

Later Taters,

Becky

P.S. My Uppercase Living party is this coming Sunday at 1:00!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Hey all, just a little update since I got back yesterday. Mom and I had a GREAT time in Atlantic City! We had dinner with some relatives that live nearby, did a little gambling, and did A LOT of shopping! We walked and shopped the boardwalk and then the outlets that were 2 blocks away. Due to all the walking, Mom's knee was pretty swollen and sore but she was a trooper! I got a ton of loot! We even got to go on the beach Sunday evening. Mom put her feet in the water but I wouldn't cuz it was too cold and I didn't want dirty feet. Of all the gambling we did I was up $85 and mom was up $20. We got a ton of great pictures to scrap and add to our "Mother Daughter Trips" album. I'll post a pic or two tomorrow along with a new "I Spy" picture.

Tomorrow is D-Day, meaning that if I get a call from Forest Hills I will be a RANGER...if no call then the job search continues.............................keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll keep you all posted!

Congrats again Christina! Another chance to win is coming up this week, check the blog often!Keep the babble comin'....

G'nite,
Becky

We have a WINNER!

Hi all! Well, the verdict is in and there were 4 guesses submitted to my email and they were all on the right track. The "I Spy" picture from yesterday did have a snake in it...well, parts of a snake...Dan hates them so he cut it up and that picture was of the pieces...check this one out...
That's a close up of his head. Anyhow, I placed the 4 names of my guessers in a hat and Dh picked a winner (so don't yell at me if it's not you!)...the winner is...............(drumroll)....................CHRISTINA! Congrats Christina! Email me your mailing address to mrs.conn2@yahoo.com and when I get back from Atlantic City I will mail you your TAC prize.

Don't forget that Kathy's party is coming up at the end of the month and if you all love TAC products, we could get a monthly club together to build our stash. Thanks for playing and there will be another "I Spy" picture next week (after Atlantic City) regarding what DH and I did today...it's a doozee!

G'nite,
Becky

Submit your guesses today!

Hey all! Just an update that two of Bella's babies have entered the world! Dan and I snuck a picture...look how stinkin' sweet! One more to go...I'll try to get a pic then too!

Also, I am going to see how smart you all are...take a look at this picture...what do you see? Submit your guesses to my email mrs.conn2@yahoo.com or post a comment. I will post the answer, with another picture, tomorrow night at about this time. Everyone who guessed right will be entered into a drawing for a special prize from, you guessed it, The Angel Company! I figure I have to do something to keep you coming back for more of my babble. Submit your guesses now!

Still keep your fingers crossed for me that I get my job! They will either call me Wednesday to say I have a job or else I'll get a letter in the mail a day or so later...pray for the call and a permanent position (preferably first grade)!

Keep the babble coming...

g'nite
Becky

Oh Happy Day!

Just got back from my interview and I am happy with how it went. I've done all I could and now it's just a waiting game...I'll know by next Wednesday if I am a new RANGER or not. To showcase my creativity I made my own thank you notes and wanted to share with you.I went with a GREEN and GOLD theme since that is RANGER colors! Think they'll like them? I hope so! Keep your fingers crossed for me until Wednesday and I'll keep you posted!

Becky

a stressful day!

Today is a stressful day full of rain and anxiety...going on my interview at 1:30, say a prayer for me I really want this job! I'll post later to let you know how it went. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

later,
Becky

p.s. No little chirpers yet, but I know it will be real soon!

Bella Update

Hi all, just a quick post...I am getting ready for my interview on Wednesday!

Bella's eggs are starting to crack, we will have little chirpers soon and I hope to be able to get a pic to share with you all...stay tuned!
