ABC - D.I.Y. - Tyra Style

I don't typically like D.I.Y. projects, although I believe in them. I think it's a great way to save money and have pride in yourself and/or your home or for whatever your DIY is about.  We've painted the interior walls, we've cut down trees, taken off siding, built a picnic table, shelves, etc. 

D.I.Y. is not my favorite thing to do or even think about. However, my funniest D.I.Y. story simply involves me ripping some old paneling off a wall in our back - now side - hallway.  I called my hubby while  he was at work and asked him, "Honey, where's your sledgehammer?"  He said, "Whyyyyyyyyyyy?" His boss almost made him go home! LOL

Everything worked out great and the paneling was taken down and thrown out! I then painted!

ABC - Indecent Proposal It Wasn't

When hubby proposed to me, we were on the way to a Brewer's game! He asked me to go in the glove compartment and look for a map. On top of the map was a tiny box.  I knew what it was and I knew that this is what we wanted, but I was suddenly so nervous, I skipped over the box and grabbed the map - quickly closing the glove compartment.

To which my hubby declared, "TYRALEE!!!" You go back into the glove compartment and get that out! "What?! Oh! Well, what have we here?"

I don't remember anything after that - except that I was looking at the ring during the whole game. Behind us sat three ladies... in their 60's -ish, one of them asked me if I just got my ring. When I told her yes, they were all happy for us and gave us their well-wishes.  I don't remember anything after that either!!! I'll have to have Matt post here if he remembers anything more.

I don't know who the Brewer's played that night - who won - or how I got home! I just know that I landed the guy that I wanted for a long time and he's still with me!

ABC - I'm Driving In My Cadillac...

Here's a LINK a previous post I wrote about getting my driver's license. It's interesting... I guess. However, the first time I can recall driving alone - I must have gone to the mall, actually... I think I went to Shopko! I probably bought a  huge purchase of Bonnie Bell lip gloss!  The drive was a 55 mph highway drive that took about 20 min. to get to the shopping center.  I had a huge black truck of some sort that belonged to my Mom's boyfriend. The radio worked - that's all that mattered! LOL

ABC - Family Heirlooms

My Grampa's paintings! Amazingly enough, I do not have a single photo of his paintings on my computer. I'll have to try and remedy that soon.

ABC - More Time

bloomingtonbirth.org

It isn't that I wish I had more time, but if I could ever have time back again, I would wish for the time when I was trying to breastfeed my sons. I didn't try long enough. I didn't have any support. The hospital pushed for formulas. I wasn't educated enough to know better.  

However, now I know better and if there is one thing that I could do over again, it would be for breastfeeding my children.
