My ND

You Know You're From North Dakota When...

Vacation means going to Medora. You've seen all the biggest bands, 20 yrs after they were popular. East means to Fargo. You know several people who have hit a buffalo. You've ridden the school bus for an hour each way. You only lock your car in August, so it doesn't get filled with zucchini. You think 4 major food groups are: beef, chokecherry wine, pork and Jell-O with marshmallows. You carry a blizzard survival kit in your car 12 months a year. You find 3 feet of snow a minor inconvenience. You know if another North Dakotan is from southern, middle or northern ND as soon as they open their mouth. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 or more, but McDonalds are spread out every 100 miles. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car. You know Ole & Lena personally. Though your not breaking the law, you break into a cold sweat when to game warden appears. You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car. You find it exciting to stare through a hole in the ice and look at the bottom. You can tell the difference between a gopher and a chipmunk at 300 yards. You think white rice is exotic and wild rice is hot dish. Somewhere in the state is a piece of frozen metal with bits of your tongue stuck to it. When you win the prize for the smallest fish, you're proud of it. You hate "Fargo" but realize your entire family has the accent. People borrow things to you. You keep the snow tires on your truck all year because it isn't worth taking them off for only two months. You are proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because Bismarck is the coldest spot in the nation. You think a basketball team consists of twelve white boys. Someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work there. You're polite to telemarketers. You have a nickname for your chain saw and you pat it on the fuel tank at the end of a hard day's sawing. You may not have actually eaten it, but you have heard of Lutefisk. You go to a high school basketball game, the score is 12-8 at halftime... and you don't think there's anything strange about that. You know how to say Fargo and Minot. You never had to rewind any part of "Fargo" because you missed some of the dialogue. Your town isn't trying to be ironic when it plans a "Winter Carnival." Your bank has the name of your town included in its name. You think that "UFF DA" is a standard English phrase. You can recite, from memory, more than a half-dozen "Ole and Lena" jokes. Every time you see moonlight on a lake you think of a dancing bear, and sing, gently, "From the land of sky-blue waters... Hamm's, the beer refreshing. Hamm's, the beer refreshing." Your dog dies, you lose your job, and your car breaks down, all on the same day, and the first thought that comes to your mind is, "It could be worse!" Your definition of a small town is one that has only one bar. "Down south" means Aberdeen. You have no problem spelling "Wahpeton". You expect to be excused from school for deer hunting season and harvesting. Your soup du jour at your hometown cafe is always beer cheese or knoephla. You think of something other than the Bible when you hear the words "Great Flood". You drive to town during a blizzard just to see if the weatherman knows what he's talking about. You assume everyone has seen northern lights and sundogs. You cry when a tree is cut down but complain when a new one is planted because it blocks the view. You think cold weather gear is a bottle of schnapps. After you discuss the weather, conversation declines. You understand "AYH, y'betchyah" means either "I agree" or "You're full of it" and know the difference. You grew up thinking rice was only for dessert. You think that ketchup is a little too spicy. You didn't know there was a Red River Valley in Texas The band you choose for your wedding has to know rock, country, and polkas. Young boys still get BB guns for Christmas. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from North Dakota.

My back & neck are really bothering me again today. So, tired of feeling like this. Even taking 2 Aleve didn't work. Try these well patches with menthol (supposed to stick & they relieve pain), that made me feel worse. Can't sit at my computer chair too long, it begins to strain my neck. Can't lay or stand either....same thing. UGH! Our week is going good. Still got a little cold hanging on but mostly it's not bad. I'm starting to get kinda freaked about all these stories of Bubonic plague & all those people that got the mumps in Iowa. just gives me "blahs"

It's been very rainy and cold for 3 days now. Tonite it started to clear up, maybe tomorrow will be a nice day but I'm sure will still be very wet. Samantha has spring photos at school tomorrow. She told me this morning that she doesn't know what to pick to wear because everything she owns "are so pretty!" I love that she is so "not picky" They even get to bring a "little something" in to take their pic with. I can't wait to see them!

Ron always gets her up in the mornings & then she comes wake me up but I'm awake already she just gets a kick out of thinking she is waking me up for the very first time. This morning she went & did her bathroom duties, went to her closet & picked out clothes (matching even!) and got dressed all without being prompted. Then she came woke me up.....she jumped up on my bed and say " Ta-dah! look at me, I did it all by meself" I'm so proud of her. But did I mention, I really don't want her to grow up

My first altered cd...made for a friends birthday. I put Xyron magnet strips on the back of it for a fridge or whatever.

The qoute says " A friend is a whole lot of wonderful people rolled into one."

Ok, first of all...like I needed a blog thing to tell me this?!?!?!?! uh thanks Jen :P
Secondly in my deffense, I would NEVER put a frozen burrito in the microware...they just come out all soggy! gotta be the oven for the best taste. and I quite frequently add extra cheese to my frozen pizza...so there! lol!

You Are a Lazy Cook

Technically, you're a cook... in that you do cook the occasional frozen burrito in the microwave. Get a little adventurous. Sprinkle some fresh cheese on that frozen pizza next time!

Are You A Good Cook?

WAAAAA!! Samantha is 7

Yesterday, my baby turned 7. yeah, I cried. she had a good party at school and she's been wearing the paper hat they gave her around the house. She says she really likes it. I'll have to get a picture. they also get to bring home a Birthday Bear and write down what they do with it. I'm assuming this is the oldest care bear on the face of earth! lol....it is so dirty and tattered! Then friends came over for lunch & Becky brought this most delicious banana cake bars. I would have got the recipe but I know I will never make it. Even if I did, it wouldn't turn out nearly as good as her. Anyway, Grandma sent Samantha flowers from proflowers. 2 dozen mini roses and then my sister came over and brought her a mixed bouquet and a very pretty long stemmed 2 stone pink rose. It is the flower house, I tell ya! Samantha had a good time with Auntie because she stayed and played toys with her a bit. Then we went out to supper. Full long day didn't get home till 9:30. She was supposed to be at a birthday party for another classmate today but after not waking up unitl 11:30 am. She woke up with a stuffy nose & slight temp so I figured it best to stay home and rest for her party tomorrow. Hopefully, we won't have to cancel because I know she will be so very disappointed.
So the big birthday tomorrow! yay!!!! I can't wait to give her her presents. I gaver her 2 yesterday because she had to have a lil something to open on her actual birthday ;)

She is just growing up too fast!

What I've been working on......the Halloween title & tag on the top LO came from my dear scrappy friend Bobbie...thanx girl :)
