Check Rebate Status

ARRGGHH! Two nights ago our central AC broke... I got a glimpse of what this summer heat may be like in the new house. I. can't. do. it. As a matter of fact, Ray and Maddy didn't do all the well either. One thing that was going to save me was the rebate we are waiting on from Sears. We were going to use this money to go toward a window unit, but everytime time I check their freakin' site I get this... IN PROCESS. We aren't going to get it in time, are we?

Waaaaaa!... I want my AC :-)

My. Wallet.

Last night -on the way home from Nana's- I gave Madelyn my wallet for the ride home.

This morning I got a call from Ray. The Rowley Police Department have my wallet. I unknowingly lost it AGAIN! Ray is very disappointed. I think it is hysterical.

Thank you mysterious stranger who turned in my lost wallet.

I eat my cereal... with no handlebars! With no handlebars!

Hopefully you know the "Handlebars" song or my above post title will have made no sense to you. I'm risking it! Last night after we went to Nana's and momma was too tired to feed me while I whimpered she let me take the reigns! This was the outcome...

I'm pretty sure mom is very proud of me. So looks like I'll be feeding myself from now on!

Getting Back on the Well Train... Woop Woop!

We are slowly recouping from that cold... Whoa, that was a doozey. I have been researching blog topics and came across a great book... "No one cares what you had for lunch." This is definitely on my wish list- you'll be seeing me at a Borders near you! One thing that many bloggers do is a "Wordless Wednesday," I'm going to try it! Every Wednesday I will put up a post containing a picture with little or no words to explain it. That is it. Very simple. (I know that this post has LOTS of words... it's my first try though so give me a break.)
Cheeks :-)

6 Words

I thought this was very cool... Ernest Hemingway once made a bet he could write his biography in six words. "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn." He won that bet. I think the idea of a six-word biography is absolutely beautiful and thought, heck ya I'll give it a try. So here goes...

Once was lost. Now Maddy's mom.

How did I do? Hmmm.. I'll try and think up some more.
