I was gone the end of last week…mostly due to sickness! I was and still slightly am…sick in the head (sinus infection). So my best guess is that I most likely caught it from my computer - but am working on getting better! Will be back to full steam, hopefully by Wednesday! Check back tomorrow for witty humor as I am not yet up for it today! ~ erin

I was trusted with my Godson Marshall ALL weekend - ALL by myself and I managed to keep him alive! I don’t have picture proof - because Dee has the camera BUT when she comes to work I will put some pictures up here! We had lots of fun! Stopped to meet my Dad - and then they jammed out!  and we also stopped to meet my Grandma Wagner!

Overall it was a great weekend…minus a meltdown at the very end! Thanks for trusting me with your son Dee!

GOOD MONDAY MORNING!

I hope you had a great weekend and are ready to get back at it today! I had a very productive and eventful weekend (which was a nice change from the events of late). Friday night my baby brother Adam and his girlfriend Meagan came over and MADE ME Supper! Adam prepared his almost famous shrimp scampi…and it was delicious! He even brought me my favorite flowers! Maybe sucking up for something?!?!

This is actually the look of my bridesmaid’s flowers as they will be carrying 5 Gerbera Daisies (5 because we are getting married June 5th) with no fill & hand tied! I will be so pretty!

I also worked on my Tree Skirt this weekend! I know…haven’t attacked that since the beginning of November! But I moved all the stuff to the living room - so that I cannot ignore it in the spare room any more! I have to get it done now and I am getting closer! I got all the petals done this weekend…so now I just have to figure out how to put it all together!

I think it looks pretty…how about you?

Oh AND - my critter returned! Had been gone for nearly 2 weeks but there were fresh tracks in the snow Saturday when I got home from work. Went to check the game camera I have set up, which the critter walked right in front of - SEVERAL TIMES - but there were only pictures of ME on there (you know, making sure it works)!

Re-set it up and will try to see what this critter is again!

Tell me I am over reacting…but these sure are some large tracks don’t you think? I need to know if I have a dog, coyote…or maybe a big cat! Leave me a comment to tell me what you think.

And this is where the creature is sleeping:

I am off to Plumbing & Electrical of Hartington, NE today! I will be broadcasting live from 11am-2pm if you would like to join us!

My weekend is looking pretty quite. Spending Saturday babysitting Marshall

who is in the middle of this new attitude problem! He makes this face all the time! I HATE it!

Then Sunday we are going to the Bridal Fair (Jon & I) to make sure we have got all the big things taken care of! Before it I will have to be back to work on Monday…

This is probably the most uneventful weekend I have had in a long time and for sure this year! I had a date with my Washing Machine and Vacuum Cleaner that lasted 12 hours on Saturday…which included taking down my tree! Then on Sunday I was at the farm helping fix fence and on the way there the car landed on 97777.7 which I thought was a milestone worth capturing (an probably the most excitement I saw since Friday)! Not complaining about the slow weekend at all!

Hope yours was GREAT too! ~ erin

Now the real question is…what is in Erin’s car!! I practically live in it and you would be amazed how much CRAP I carry around with me in there! ~ erin

Someone was finally able to get to my apartment to get Dee and I back to work. We couldn’t get out of the driveway ourself…the drifts still too high..BUT by the end of the day - we hope to get our vehicles out! See some snowbound picutres HERE.

This is Dee and me hiking to the end of the driveway to go to work this morning!

Now that I am back at work - I had LOTS of e-mails telling me who the people are in the photos we took at the Dakota Farm Show, HOWEVER not all of them had the photo number included with the names…which does me no good! So if you know any of the people I took picutres with - let me know so I can include their name with the photos! Click the link in the post below to get to the photo gallery! ~ erin

I was at the Farm Show again today with my personal photographer (Steve Crawford) along! We got another 60+ photos and they are in the Photos with Erin Gallery! So buzz through them quick and let me know who they are! The photo number is above the picture. Just e-mail me the number and the person in the picture so I can get their name out there. Just too many to write down while we took the pictures! erin@wnax.com

AND just so you know…we will be postponing the Pickup Giveaway as well as the drawing for the last key until the day we give the pickup away! Not sure when that will be yet - but you will find out when we decide!

Did you take a picture with me today? Do you know someone in these pictures? Look at the photos then e-mail with the picture number to let me know who it is!! Erin@wnax.com
