July 14 Smart womanA WOMAN WHO READS A couple go on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read. One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book. Along comes a law enforcement officer in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing? "Reading a book," she replies, (thinking "isn't it obvious?") "You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her. "I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up." "If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman. "But I haven't even touched you," says the officer." "That's true, but you have all the equipment." The Officer says "have a nice day". MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think! July 02 How Lucky are you ??

Weekly update
Well, this is how my week went. Work from 6 am - till 2:30 mon, through Thursday. After work I came home and tried to clean a bit and then did my blog reading and did a little stitching. We got almost all the Re-boxing caught up... The water boxes we ordered should be in Monday and we can finish all that. Friday we had an appreciation lunch and was sent home at 1 pm... That was nice and they even said they were gonna pay us for 10 hours even though we did not work it. Friday night I went to bed with a migraine.. I'm talking splitting pounding migraine.( I think it was about 7 pm bed time for me.) About 11:00 I got woke up by Dennis. He said his sister needed to come spend a few day's here... I was thinking OK now let me go back to sleep. Think he stayed up really late because I had a hard time getting him out of bed Saturday. Think it was like 7:45 he finally got up. Saturday his sister stayed in the guest room all day and most of the night. I could hear her talking on the phone but she did not ever come out of the room for very long. I was offered no company or explanation. I understand she was depressed but I felt out of place in my own home...That is just not right. Dennis come home and we went to eat at Taco Bell then come home and he had to go meet with a good customer. After he come back I saw here sitting in the kitchen talking with Dennis a few times.. I was home almost all day so why could she not come talk to me ?????????? June 29 I dono...Things at work are better.. I think they want me around for a while. They gave me my sign on codes today.. Now I can log on to the network and get some stuff done that my supervisor has tough me to do.... I fell like part of a team now even though it is a team of two. We are finally getting things caught up. We got the ok to cut & past some labels that we do not have a template for.. We have gotten some boxes in that we needed but still need a few more...Seams like everyone is passing the buck on the box situation. The big boss wants re box cleaned up but we can not do that without the boxes... E-mail after e-mail and conversations and seams like it takes two- three weeks just to get a few boxes that we need... Still we sit and wait.... The bathroom is all finished as far as the new mirror hanging goes. Now Dennis wants to get the bathtub redone. I think this (The mirror) is the first project he has started from start to finish with in a week’s time. Normally he will do a little and then wait a while to finish... I'm proud of him & the mirror... I had the boy's last weekend and we had a good visit.. Course they got almost everything they wanted.. Chris got his new PS2 game and Nicky got to swim allot.... I even sat outside and stitched one of the day's they were here.
T.T.F.N Today is S.H.I.T (Sorry Honey It’s Thursday) day but tomorrow is T.G.I.F (Thank God It’s Friday) day.... Wow another week almost gone. June 20 BraggingI have to brag on Dennis. He out did himself this time. We have been working on the bathroom and well it is almost done now. What he hung over the bathroom sink is just too awesome. When he mentioned the idea a few months ago I thought it would never happen.... how wrong was i..... Here it is

I know he does not think he has been much of a dad to his four girls but he has done his best. I think he is a good Dad. Happy Father's Day to all. Hope you all have a good one.June 14 My day
TTFN June 11 My weekMonday: I went into the temp job at Teleplex, worked for about two hours. Was not felling good and we had no boxes still so I come home. Was at home for about two hours and got a call from another temp company. They wanted me to go back out to Rebecas and reinterviwe with the manager & owner. You would think that that meant he wanted to hire me…. Well that is what I thought…any ways at the end of the interview he said, “ I have other people to interview but if you have any questions call the temp. Company “. I was thinking I had the job….HA..HA…HA..on me. He was just playing me once again. I told Dixie Staffing what was going on but that I could go back out to Telplex after I got done at the interview. They said no we will just send a replace meant for you. They did not (I found out later) Wednesday:morning I called Staffing Solutions to see how the interview went and they told me it would be the end of the week. I said OK , called Dixie to see if they had any work till I heard something. They told me just Teleplex. Thursday:I went back there and every one was like Hi !!!!! (Really excited to have me there) are you felling better…. I had to tell my story to about three people. The lady I’ve been working with was the most excited to see me. She wants to keep me on and help her. Friday: I went to Teleplex and right before lunch some lady came out and told us that we could not have the fans on that we had on. They took our fans, Yes they did… One lady got sick on the way out for lunch. You want my opinion she was partly faking because they took the fans. I went and talked to the HR person about that and told her that if we could not have the fan’s I would also be going home. I was not gonna give myself a migraine for that company. She said no..No..we are getting some different fan’s back there just give us some time. The one lady went home and I went to lunch. When I come back they had brought out two big fans then UPS come and stole one of them. We didn’t really do much work in the afternoon & I left at 3:30. Saturday: drove around town doing my normal stuff. Called Barnes’s & Noble to see if the magazine Cross-stitch card shape #48 had come in yet. I went and picked that up and found a cute little book light with Eeyore on it. He is now on my stitching stand. While at Wal-Mart I finally found a stuffed Eeyore. He is now buy my radio in the computer / Cat room. I started a project and worked on it for about two hors. It was not looking very good so I ripped the stitches out and threw the pattern away. I have not done that in a long time. Then Dennis come home and we went a few places and out to dinner. Come home and he went to his garden. He brought in this cucumber that was at least 23 pounds. I know this because I got on the scale without it then with it. I had to take a photo cause I know people will think I’m waked… That brings us to today. It is 5 am so not much going on right now.. June 10 Suport RibbonSuport ribbonM.E.N. which stands for MEN whom EMBRACE NEEDLECRAFTERS So, feel free to take this graphic and post it on your blog, and let's get the movement started!!! Thank you to all the males out there who help feed our obsession and even though it may drive you crazy, thank you for unending support.
Tuesday June-6-2006TuesdayWell I had a job interview this morning back at the same place I went about a month ago. I gave up a full day of work to go to this interview. I did offer to go in afterwords but they said no. Anyways I went and he said the same thing as he did the last time. After walking out the door & still I'm thinking what kind of joke is this ? Is God trying to push me over the edge or what. Now that my dreams have been shattered for the second time I have to go and look for work again. After doing the interview I went to the pet store and got the mice another home. They have been fighting bad the last few days. Why do they not tell you stuff like "If you have two male mice they will fight". Ouuugghh If I had known that separation was gonna have to happen I would have just told Nicky No!!!!!! Got to the post office and mailed off the magnet's I did for the exchange. Then I came home and made a place on my cork board to hang my magnet's from the EMS exchange.  I took two Magnet sheet's and out lined them with roses on the top one and ABC's on the bottom one. This was added to my cork board I have hanging on a closet door.TTFN
Last WeekLast weekOk ... update on last week. Monday I did a temp job from 8-3:30, come home & got on the computer. Tuesday I sat around with a migraine so, not much got done. Wednesday I cleaned house some good, then found the Tickle Ted pattern & ordered one. Thursday I was supposed to go back to the same company but planes got changed to another Temp. company and another job assignment. I did that from 7:30-4:00 pm. Come home and got on the computer. Friday was the same as Thursday. Started getting head aches on Friday-Sunday morning. Saturday I lost my voice. It is really scratchy and Dennis is having problems hearing me. We went out for breakfast on Sunday and he had to order for me because I just couldn't do it. We were out most of the day but, still managed to get a few stitches in my magnet. Hope to get some more done today. I have laundry to do as well. I guess that should just about sum it up for now.
Table Maner's
Table Manners During class, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asks the __________________
students: "Michael, if you were on a date, having supper with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?" "Just a minute, I have to go pee." "That would be rude and impolite! ! ! What about you Peter, how would you say it?" "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." "That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you Little Johnny, are you able to use your intelligence for once and show us your good manners?" "I would say: 'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after supper.'" The teacher fainted!!!!
Did It....Did it .....It took me about 4 hours but I fixed my blog. Things look good from my end so now all I need is feedback from everyone telling me it works & I'll be happy. Gosh my head is pounding- pounding bad. This past weekend my dad was in town so we had dinner at mom's. I had to miss Nicky's play at church because he did not tell me about it until after I had made plans with mom. Told him he should have told me a lot sooner than the day before. I mean come on he knew he was gonna be in a play a long time ago.While at mom's I found out that Kristen ended up with the pillow a few weeks after I gave it to her mom. My family  drive me nut's. I'm still angry with Kristen but I'm just gonna let it go. I'm not important & neither are my feeling's. To them anyways. I did send her an e-mail so we will see if I get a reply. Yesterday I went and turned in the aluminum cans I've been saving for a few month's & then I took in all the spare change I have been putting in a jar. Almost $100. bucks in all. Not bad Hugh. Cans are up to .75 now when they are normally .30 @ pound. CoooolThat's my life right now........Hope you keep reading. OH yea !!! What cat personallity are you ???  You are a Persian! You are quiet, gentle, and loving, though sometimes you need extra attention and care. Some might call you high maintenance, but you just need to be pampered. http://quizilla.com
It's FridayIt's FridayWow, Wow, Wow where did the week go. I think I spent most of mine on the computer. Fixing blog and surfing the net. Dennis got me DSL for Mother’s Day although it did not get hooked up till Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m still getting the adds that I was getting before but not getting logged off so, I think my computer issues have gotten a we bit better. It is nice not to worried about getting logged offline because of time issues. I just come in anytime I want and go where I want. NICE I can’t remember doing much in the way of job hunting. That’s both sad & not good. I would like to find something before I go though my savings. I have this funny feeling that it’s not gonna happen that way but, it’s worth hoping for. I thought about getting a paper route but don’t know. That means really early mornings and no day’s off plus wear and tare on car and the gas. ON MY GOD. I just do not know what to do. Well I’m off to the shower so, you all have a good day & rember this : 
Mother's Day 2006Mother's Day 2006
I just have to blog about this day because it was really unusual for me. The kids ,Dennis & the kids dad conspired all day long. I had no clue what was up ( I'm really shocked about that ) but I should have. Any way's when Dennis come home from work they had a little conversation in the Kitchen while I was in the Computer room. They told me to stay till they called me so, I did.
I walked into the kitchen and on the dirty table there sat a cake and Three red roses. The cake had a corsage on it. Ya !!!! One you could actually wear.. WOW.... This was not a corsage made of flowers although they were flowers. NO..No..no..This one was made of that hard candy. You know the kind that you can buy in a kit saying Happy Birthday. How cool is that ?
Dennis told me the conspiracy story after that.
Sunday we went to church but I had no idea what a wonderful church service this was gonna be.The preacher took the day off and his wife gave the service. The preacher's grandson say a song for all the mother's. It was a really good song. Then his mom thanked him and told him you can't be one up on me and gave him a surprise of his own. Apparently he has been competing in a singing competition like American Idol. He has now mad it to the final 4 out of 1200 people. He will be going to New York next month. They kept it secrete from him until church when they made the announcement. Let's pray he makes it ...... They had a drawing and I got my name in late. Well I never thought I would be called because that just does not happen to me. They said Dawn Bowers and I was shocked , surprised & thrilled. I almost started to cry. I got a box of fancy chocolates , only one of my most favorite things. That was COOL.
Every mother got a hand blown perfume bottle from Israel & a member of the congregation gave all mothers a long steamed Red Rose. I had my mother come over for lunch. Dennis cooked and the boy's and I gave her a small vase of Reddish Pink Roses & on fake rose with a card. The card said Grandma & Mom for this is no ordinary rose When it dies so will our love for you. That was Christopher's idea .14 years old but has a heart as big as Texas and not farad to show it. Nicky's got a big heart too but not as outspoken as his brother. Thank you God, Dennis Nicky Chris & even my X .I can not tell you how special I felt Yesterday & that will follow with me for a very long time to come.
Thank you all for reading today's blog and If you are a mother I hope you had as wonderful a day as I did. Photos at :
Mr. HugsMay-10-2006
Yesterday I made a decision to give Mr. Hugs to my younger sister instead of my Nice. See Saturday I tried to get my nice over her to get it and well she is 17-18 and the aunt was just not who she wanted to see that day. She said she would call when she got to this end of town. The call never come so on Monday I called her cell thinking she will be on this end of town for school and she could stop buy after. I found out the next day how wrong I was in my thinking. She has not been to school cense last Thursday and she never called me back either. I found this out when I went to my sister’s house to give her Mr. Hugs. Oh well her loss but I did tell my sister that if Kristen wanted Mr. Hugs she should say “ OK, it will be in my will for you “. I was really Pisssed off and still am at my nice. I worked on that for her 6 weeks and she just blew me off like it was nothing. Some people.
I went to the shop yesterday to put an application online and to work on my blog. When I was done Dennis called SBC and ordered DSL for the house. YEEPEEEE !!!!! Guess he got tired of me coming to the shop and disrupting his work and my complaining about my Internet at home. Plus they are doing it for about $15 a month for 1 year so that helped. That should all be in place at the end of this month May-2006. YYYEEEPPEEEE !!!!!!!!!!
Dennis picked me up and we went to the dentist. He has a fake tooth that keep's comming loose and he needed to get it fixed. Then he took me out for lunch and this place he used to go when he had a shop downtown. Lunch was good but now I'm stuffed to the gill. Guess I'd better get back to my stitching. Till next time.

BAAAD MondayBaaad Monday
 That's me right now. I was supposed to hear from this guy about a job I applied for on Thursday. See on Thursday he gave me this line about how he had a few other people to interview and he would let me know on Friday. Then Friday he gave me this line about how one of the people had to change the interview to today and he had to give the benefit to this person. It is now after 5 pm and he has not called. Good how stupid can I be. I believed in him and gave him the benefit and this is what I got. A man with no ball's. Then the Temp company was saying they would get back with me and they have not called . Once again I have to ask myself " How stupid can you be ? ". I guess pretty stupid because I'm still waiting on the call. I ask for guidance but fell as though I've been forgotten about. I'm officially depressed and have lost my faith in Friendship- Love- trust. Guess that's it , hope this bad day ends soon so I can get up tomorrow and deal with it all over again. Yepee, sounds like fun..........Dawn

My FridayMy Friday
I got Mr.Hugs done and made into a pillow then yesturday I got the photo album done of my progress on Mr.Hugs. It took me 2 hours to get the photo album the way I wanted it. I used the Photo impressions program. Then saved the pages & went to print and wouldn't you know it I was low on ink. Then I saved the pages to webshots and was gonna go up to the shop and print them form there. Well I called Dennis and he said he would buy me some ink if I went and got him anouther phone and a gress pencile. I then went to the shop got a check from him and went to Office Depot. They did not have the phone so I had one of the employes call around and see if they could find one. He told me that he found a store that had some so I went there. Got there and they did not have the right phone and they were out of the ink I needed for my computer. I then went to Staples over by Wal-Mart. They did not have the phone or the gress pen. They did have my ink a little cheaper but I ended up paying for that out of my pocket. $60 bucks for 4 colors of ink,WWOOOWW. Thought that maybe Wal-Mart would have the phone so I saved the check for that. Got to Wal-Mart and found only some window chalk so I payed for it as well. It was only a few dollars and did not fell like wrighting a check for just a few dollars. So after all that running around I only managed to find my ink and the gress pencil & I payed for it all. That's not how it was supose to work out.
Whitney come over for dinner but, we didn't eat till 8 pm. I hate eating that late because I alway's wake up hungry. Well that was my Friday, let's see what happens today.

Internet ProblemsMay –3 2006 Still having Internet problems. I have installed and run Norton antivirus and this xoftspy program that my sister sent to me. I think that between the two of them it has fixed some of the problem but not enough to make me happy. I’m still getting the (please take a moment thing) now sometimes I get this run Time error do you with to debug? If I choose yes a program pops up but I cannot seam to make it work. If I choose no I either get to the page I wanted or it boots me out. I hate asking my sister for more help but I have no choice. I still cannot find the stupid serial # on this computer and that is really strange because there is always a serial # with the model #. Why can I not find it ???????? GRRRRRRRRRR………. This morning I got up and played on the computer trying to fix my blog. Got frustrated with that not working so I reinstalled my Money program only to find out that I have to start over with that. I lost the file with the info in it. How stupid is that. God dang sure did not put me on this earth to be a computer Geek. Did a few e-mails and got my smiley central back. Found out a few days ago that one of my email friends lost her Dad over the weekend. How sad is that…….. I was crying buy the time I got done reading her email. I have sent her a sympathy card but I know that will not help much. I think she is going back to his house soon & I know that is going to be hard on her. Today she sent me the obituary on her dad but just could not bring myself to read it yet. I never knew the man but I know my friend is hurting so I guess I’m hurting for her.
Till next time : Dawn B.

You have a low luck quotient.
Happy birthday to Dennis... He gets to be a year older today. We normally Waite till the 4th to do his birthday but well seeing as today is Sunday and the 4th falls on Tuesday this year we are doing it on his actual birthday. He has invited his whole family over for swimming and a BBQ.. I'm pissed off though..He didn't tell my family to come over.I had to call them yesterday and invite them. What kind of shit is that....Why did he not invite my family ??? 
& hot, hot, hot. Got up this morning at the normal 4 am. 
Drank some coffee and answered some email's. Got ready for work & went to work. Walked into a mess. The one girl that I'm working with said " we may be going home". I went to see what all the fuss was about by finding the tem lead. She told me that they found three boxes with the wrong lables on them. Aparently from when anouther lady was doing lables. She was let go about one week ago. Anyway's the lead was all upset and thinking they might fire her... It did not come to that thank God. She is the one pulling for me to stay on there. We got the Rebox area all reorganized and cleaned up. I got a badge today and a stamp. Now if there are any issues with that kind of stuff my ass is on the line. We have an autit tomarrow and that's why everyone is all stressed out. Got off at 4:30 today because we had to make shure everything was done and cleaned up. Come home and looked online for some cheat coads for Chris. The air conditioner is still not fixed and it is hot in my room. Lucky me, 
Right...... Well now it is time for dinner so I'm gonna go. Hope you all had a better- less stressfull day than I did. 
I thought this was funny.|
