Remember this post? You should its only two days old! And right below this one! (LOLz) Well, as the title says, I have had absolute success with my search for Smallville Season Seven, and it was in a place I would have never thought to look!
I used Twitter to ask where to find it, and Laci from Long Slow Beautiful Dance had the answer almost immediately!
September ninth! She found the answer on Amazon. If you thought that Amazon was all "Oh look at me, I'm Amazon books" then you would be wrong, kinda like me!
But, it makes sense (now that I know) that I should have gone to a retail site not a TV show homepage to find out when I can BUY something! DUH!
Oh well, I know it now, thanks to Amazon and Laci and although I hate the thought of waiting until September to start watching, at least now I know when to start looking!
So. September ninth. Mark it on your calendar. Remember it. I know I will!!

Searching for a TV show's "season"
A few years ago, must be about four now, we started watching Smallville season one when it came on a local TV station. By the middle of the first season it became a family tradition to sit together on the couch with juice and popcorn watching our show.
In fact, one of the reasons I fought to be released the first day Logan was born was that the next day "our" show was on!
I know the internet can be used to find all types of things; Celebrity baby names, a list of best diet pills, movie trailers, news, everything! But I haven't the foggiest idea where to even begin searching for what I want.
Season Seven of Smallville. It's done, or almost done, its run on the American stations, so soon it should be in stores. I want to find a release date for the season 7 box set. Do you know where I would look for that?

*gag*
Is there anything worse than dog puke?
No, no there is not. I have dealt with kids who have ick coming out top and bottom at the same time, and thats still more pleasurable than following a puking dog around the house trying to get her outside.
And then? The whole head shake thing? GUH ROoooS! thank god she was already on the deck for that one, its easier to spray off the deck than wash the floors inside, thats for sure!
I hope she is done, now, I'm not sure how much more I can take...although.. Hubs will be home from work soon....

What to do with a week of vacation
Normally Hubs has two weeks off during either July or August form work. They are paid days off (YAY) and back to back. During this time - called summer shut down - the plant does all the maintenance and deep cleaning for the year.
I love Summer shut down, becuase two weeks - to me - is just the right length, we use one week to go on vacation and the other week to lounge around the house and maybe do a few do-it-yourself projects around the house.
This summer though, there is just too much work that needs to be done at the plant and since production is so far behind the bug guys on top decided that the summer shiut down will only be one week. :o(
We don't have very many at home things we need to do, so we are struggling to figure out what we can do during our week off. Keep in mind that Smokey is horribly car sick so she cannot accompany us and if we kennel her, that takes up all of our vacation money and then there is no point on going on vacation!
so, I have been working on a list ;
Summer shut down is the first week of August, so time is running out. What would YOU do?

so, I have been working on a list ;
- We can take the boys into the city and spend some time at the water park, maybe find some cheap hotels and stay the night.
- We can ask the vet for a prescription to knock Smokey out and take her camping with us, or knock her out and drive her out to my dads while we go camping.
- We can just stay home (boo)
Summer shut down is the first week of August, so time is running out. What would YOU do?

Babies EVERYWHERE
A surge of new Blogger babies have been - or are about to be born. Her Bad Mother had a harrowing almost born in the car birth experience the other day, Amalah and Girls Gone Child are both expecting, it seems like everywhere I turn I read a new pregnancy post! Even my brothers girl friend is expecting!
It makes me remember when I was expecting and how sweet and fragile babies are. I can remember with my first baby having to pack all the billion things a baby needs AND jugs of water - we formula fed- for a trip to my dads. His water was horrible. By the time I had my Third baby, dad had gotten one of those water purifiers, so we were able to take H2o off the list! Now, I pack a change of pants and underwear for the youngest, a few sweaters or coats and am free to head down for the day. No bottles diapers or sippy cups for us!
Often, when a new pregnancy close to home is announced, people imply that I must want another baby too. But truthfully? There is nothing on earth that would make me go back to midnight feedings and stinky diapers!

Why are all the good foods fattening?
If any of you saw my post on my main blog, Bluepaintred, from the other night, you can make a pretty educated guess at how my diet is going. Or, as the case may be, NOT going!
I just love good, sugary, high carb foods TOO much! I wonder if you can still buy corsets? I keep saying to myself, today, self, you will go for a walk. Or Today self, you shall have a yummy salad for lunch instead of your carb filled sandwich! And yet, I never do.
I want to be skinny, I want to be healthy, but not as much, it seems, as I want that last square of brownie.

more old movies
Every Friday one of the stations our cable offers us plays what they call the Friday Frightmares. I like a good scary movie in a way that means I enjoy watching them but the moment they actually get scary, I get scared, and then stay scared. It worries me to have my back to anything, and I would love to keep a light on when we go to bed, but Hubs cannot sleep in light.
Int he past, I only had to watch scary movies, once, whine they come out, but now, with the Friday Frightmare, I no longer have that option.
Tonight we have Darkness Falls on the television. I can honestly say that this is a VERY well done movie, the plot is great and the acting, for a scary movie, is surprisingly good. The premise is that you are not allowed to "peek" when the toothfairy comes for your teeth, because if you see her, you die. A small boy, upon the loss of his last tooth decided the story is just that, a story, and peeks. His mother ends up dead and he is on the run. He must stay in the light, for the toothfairy fears the light.
As much as I try not to watch the Friday Frightmares, I often end up watching them. And then? Yea, I end up scared.
Yay me. I'm such a dork.

Bad! BAD DOG
My dog ate another pot of my flowers. You know, the ones I planted just last weekend. The ones I spent a zillion dollars on? yea, those ones.
It REALLY ticks me off. Mostly because I refuse to buy more plants for her to eat, but that I had warmedn my son as he put the dog out to potty that he HAD TO WATCH THE PLANTS.
Instead, he flipped on the TV and promptly forgot we even HAVE a dog.
If she wasn't so damn cute, I swear her head would be hanging above my fireplace as we speak!

Pens; Mightier that a sword
Above :Papermate pens
I love nice pens. And by nice I don't mean expensive pens, but ones that feel right in my hands, or, I will suffer discomfort if the color of the pen is unique or the flow of the ink is wonderful. Lately I have been on the look out for a special kind of pen. I got them two years ago, Christmas time, and they are all just about out of ink.
The pens were tiny, about half, or maybe a bit smaller than a "regular" sized pen, and they were gel inks. There was a neon yellow, orange, green and pink, as well as a bright red, two different shades of blue, an awesome shade of deep green and a black.
Not only did I love the colors, but the ink flowed out better than most pens I have found, and they were the perfect size for throwing in my purse - two years and not a single one leaked!. In a pinch, I would let the kids use them to color - you know, when we had to wait for an appointment or an order to be filled.
My mom only ever used one kind of pen, a Papermate, I could not find a picture of the exact pen she used, but she has been dead for 11 years now, so that particular pen might have gone out of stock.
My father in law will only buy pens that have a clip so he can carry them in his shirt pocket.
What about you? do you have a pen fetish? Will you write with anything, or must your pen be a certain kind?
