Sunday Funday Video! Dancing Baby.

The Sunday Funday Video of the week is back, and what could be cuter than this dancing baby?

Cell Phone Hunt

Well, I told you guys in a previous post that my boyfriend had lost his cell phone on his road trip. I had been following him on Latitude, so I knew the last place that it had sent a signal. We figured that it was on the side of the road somewhere, as it had probably fallen out of his saddlebag on his motorcycle. So, we decided to go on a treasure hunt.

It was quite aways away, but I was promised dinner at Cracker Barrel for a reward, so.... ROAD TRIP.

On our way there, we saw a deer crossing sign, and just then a deer jumped out and ... BAM... it was hit by a car coming in the opposite direction. It was quite a hard hit, and the deer really flew. I started crying as I had never seen an animal killed like that.

We turned around to see if the people needed help.

As no one had cell phone service, we drove closer to the main highway to call for help for them.

Then we drove back to tell them help was on the way, and stayed with them until highway patrol came.

By the time we got to the area where the phone might be, it was dark. So we used flash lights to search the area. Now you have to understand that the boyfriend's cell phone case looks like a black tire...and what kind of crap do you find on the side of the road? Little pieces of black tire.

So it was like, "Oooh! There it is!" ... "Nevermind"

Finally I got back in the car to follow him while he looked....for the next 5 miles.

On the way we found another car with its hazard lights on. We asked if she was alright, and she told us the tow truck was on the way, but she had hit a deer. We told her to holler if she needed us, and continued to look.

A few miles later, we found another dead deer in the road...

In the end, we couldn't find the cell phone and finally gave up.

It was definitely not a good day to be a deer that night.

My boyfriend bought me an early birthday present. I finally have a mac! So far so good, and not too big of an adjustment from a PC, but much faster than my old computer.

Submissions: Red, White and Blue

Every Friday I put together a treasury of some of my favorite items made by etsy sellers, post it on my blog and call it the Friday's Favorites!

Last week's treasury: Chocolate and Toffee Dreams had 115 views, 27 comments, 46 clicks, and 10 favorites!

This week, in honor of Forth of July, I'm looking for RED, WHITE AND BLUE!

If you have anything in your shop with these patriotic colors, post the link in the comments and check back tomorrow for the Friday's Favorites.

Don't have anything patriotic? Feel free to nominate a friend's piece and help spread the love.

I will be looking in the forums as well, but I always consider the blog submissions first.

Boyfriend Returns

I apologise for not having the Sunday Funday Video this week. Yesterday I was quite worried as the boyfriend had not come back from his iron butt ride. He was due in at around 10:30am but there was no sign of him.

I figured something had happened to his phone, as my phone had stopped tracking him somewhere in the middle of Utah, but I didn't really start getting worried until the next day.

By 6pm I was truly freaking out, and that is when he finally hobbled through the door.

He'd run out of gas somewhere near the salt flats and had to push his motorcycle 7 miles to get to a gas station. When his arms finally gave out from pushing, he left the bike and walked the rest of the way to get a gas can.

When he'd returned, he realized that he'd left his hazard lights on and now his battery was dead. It took another few hours before he was able to hail a police car who gave him a jump start.

The phone had gotten lost way back at another fill up. He hadn't secured his saddle bags and it must have flown out.

He's back, a little worse for wear, and quite sore. I'm just happy he's alive and he's home.

Motorcycle Boyfriend

Today, the boyfriend is going on a loooooong motorcycle ride in order to qualify for a group called the Iron Butts. You have to ride 1000 miles in 24 hours to be accepted in the group. He said it was too windy to go sailing and he didn't want to waste his day off.

He's plotted out his course, and I have to sign a thing as a witness when he leaves and when he comes back. He also has to collect his gas receipts to proove that he's gone the required distance. I know my butt couldn't take it...after two hours I'm really hurting.

Of course the first thing he has to do is wake up. I told him I could only be his witness if he leaves before ten as I have to go to work. He's got about a half an hour from now until I bring him some coffee and shake him awake... We'll see if he makes it out of the starting gate.

In treasury news:

So far, this week's Treasury: Chocolate and Toffee Dreams, has 100 views, 44 clicks, 27 comments and 10 favorites... Keep up the good work!

Friday's Favorites: Chocolate and Toffee

Brown is one of my favorite colors, and not only because it's the color of chocolate. It's a great neutral that isn't as stark as black or white, and it gives a lovely warmth to your skin tone.
