Ten on Tuesday *Things You Are Good At*
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
For This week's Ten on Tuesday you are supposed to list Ten Things You Are Really Good At. Wow! With my extremely low self-esteem, this is a very difficult list for me to make. As I sit here trying to complete the list, it is even more difficult than I thought it would be, because I tend to feel like I am coming off as conceited if I say that I am good at something. OK, here I go - gonna try to make the list... please don't think I'm bragging on myself - I'm just completing the meme ;-)

Metal Buildings
When we were preparing to move out here from Ohio to Missouri, my father-in-law and husband decided that they didn't want to leave the equipment building that we had on the Ohio farm. So, they took it apart, piece by piece, and moved it to Missouri! Then, my dad, my husband, and my father-in-law spent a month putting that building back up in its new place here in Missouri. Yes, that was quite the chore, but it was certainly worth it.
Steel buildings are very popular here, for many reasons. They are weather resistant, easy to maintain, durable, cost efficient, and attractive. If you drive around the area where I live, you will see steel buildings serving many purposes. You will see metal equipment buildings, garages, storage sheds, workshops, and even barns and livestock buildings. In addition, you will see many houses with steel roofs. In fact, we just put a hunter green metal roof on our home, and it looks great. It matches the hunter green roof on our steel equipment building.
There are even metal building kits you can get now if you desire to put up a metal building. These kits make it much easier. I bet my dad and husband wish they would have had a kit. However, my husband won't hesitate to say that all the hard work and travel time to bring that building out here was entirely worth it. In fact, now he wants to put up metal buildings to serve the purposes of a garage and a livestock building!

Stormy Day
I'm filling in at the insurance ageny today.
I got here over twenty minutes early, because I was trying to beat a thunderstorm.
Sometimes, I feel like all the weather is here is thunderstorms and high winds.
This is my last day working here. They are sad. I feel guilty for skipping out on them, but I have no choice - I have to earn a full-time income.
You know that your dogs rule your life when you are telling your husband, "No, you can't go anywhere today, because I have to work... So, you can't leave, beause that would leave the dogs home alone during a thunderstorm." I'm not too big of a person to admit that my dogs own me.
I have a sinus infection now. I'm not sure what I did to deserve this. I had not been sick for a very, very long time. In fact, Hubs was even saying, "Misty never gets sick. She's too mean to get sick, I guess." Then, I got that flu he had, which was all in my chest. After two weeks of that, I had a bad sore throat for several days. I guess it was all just moving from my chest to my head/face. Oh joy. My face feels like I've been in a fist fight. Oh well, it could be worse.
Well, I better go get some other things done. I'll be back :-)

Camera-Critters Sunday #5

(c) Misty DawnSWhat's a girl to do when she's absolutely obsessed with photography and becomes full-time employed which results in her actually working three jobs? Start planning on how much she can hide away each month to try to get that dream camera so she can start reaching for her dream, of course ;-)
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Just Being Silly About Stuff
I need a minute... to think! OK, actually, I need a couple days. Then again, maybe a week... or two (hehe).
Better yet... I need to go for a walk with my dad and the wolf! After the walk, we could go over to Aunt J's with chips and dip and have BLTs and Seven Layer Salad *Yummmmy*
Or, I could get one of those inflatable boats so I could go see my BBFF Tammy. I need the boat because it's flooding where she's at in Canada. Put the coffee on Tam, and keep your eye out for a little chic to come floating up to your door. ;-) Then, Tammy could jump in the boat, and we could make our rounds visiting Barb, Autumn, Anna, The Fab Four (Stacey, Jen, D, B/S), and lots of other bloggers. Oh yeah, we'll take that boat clear to Germany and see Sanni and Jersey too! WoooHooo - BOAT TRIP (Get it? That's instead of 'road trip').
Yes, I realize that I'm being completley goofy and sound like I'm losing my mind. Thank goodness it is Friday! I had intended and hoped that Hubs and I would be able to go shoot some pool tonight to celebrate my new job. However, I think I'm too tired. Besides, I want to instant message with my step-daughter, Tam, Bear, and Barb tonight (hehehe). Maybe I can sleep in tomorrow, and we could go play pool Saturday night instead. That'd be lots of fun... it's been a long time since we've done anything fun together.
