The hubs is taking me out for dinner at Buca Di Beppo, and then to see Andrea Bocelli!

I am so excited!

Another happy tummy!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cold

So it's about that time of year again. I can't believe how freaking cold it's gotten within the last couple of weeks.. snow is coming here.. my last snow for a while.. it's going to be weird without it being cold for about 6 months of the year.

Just getting ready for the week ahead, and looking forward to our trip!

I will get a pic up sometime on Sunday. I will... really I will. :)

AACCCCCK

oh this time. I was out.. man.. i wanted to post everyday, but i forgot last night... :( Maybe I will still count in this contest..

Yesterday was Lil S turned 15 months old. I can't believe it. I will upload some pics to her blog later.. maybe even this one, since it's been a while.

We went out to the Pawnee Butte National Grasslands yesterday. It was really pretty out there, but quite chilly too. We took the dog to, and she LOVED it.

Ok will update later.. the LIL Boss is calling me, must go now.

I couldn't think of any title (Day 8)

You would think that life is perfect, but then something comes up and you are back at the beginning, wondering if there will ever be a day when everything's perfect.

I have always thought that... like in High school, I finally was cool enough, but then we graduated and went to college, and I was a no-one, albeit cool anyway cause by that point I didn't care anymore.

I wonder if it's just something that happens that eventually you don't care what people think of you, because some days I care, but lately more and more, I just don't give a damn. I don't care what people think of my clothes, my weight, my profession, my life.

I care what I think, and maybe my immediate family. I am usually an agreeable person, but lately I get the feeling that the world is a dog eat dog type of place. You gotta look out for #1.

Despite all best intentions, there are days that you don't give a damn. I don't today.

Favorite Shows (Day 7)

What's is going on in Grey's Anatomy? I just got to watch it last night as well as 7th Heaven. I hope that Eric will be okay on there, I can't imagine they would have him croak. I am so liking the DVR cause you can have all the shows you watch stored up, and when the kiddo is asleep going downstairs with a bowl o popcorn and catching up on your favorite shows. I hope my sister gets that soon, then she isn't so stressed if she misses one. I heard someone gets shot on Desperate Housewives.. i really haven't gotten into that show much, but I do love Felicity Huffman's work. She is a great actress.

Ok gotta go and nap. I am tired from MOPS today.

Holy Moly what a day! (Day 6)

So it's been a long day, teething almost 15 month old, clean house (which I stayed up late to help D with), and bath time was so not fun, I got drenched, and after I toweled the lil one dry she pees everywhere... ah, so these are the fun times they are talking about.

How does some little baby get 4 teeth coming in at the same time? I can't imagine the pain.
Poor lil one :(

I am going to clean up and go to sleep. It's been a long long day!

We are coming... (Day 5)

I found out what my Christmas present is.... A trip back to the homeland.. yes we are going to Texas!!!

(and no i don't vote republican!!!)

I am so excited I can barely sit down and concentrate to type this!

Lil S is going to go and meet all our friends and family. I am so so so so so so so excited, and hopefully one day we won't have to leave!

It's still on time (Day 4)

It is still 11:56pm on 11/4/2006... so I am still in under the time for posting for the 4th...

So we had a great day, and we got to see our good friends... it's going to be hard on us moving, since we know nobody there, but I am going to try to stay optimistic.

Not much else.. we are exhausted, and ready to sleep, sorry this post is so late in the evening, i know you were staying up to see what I posted.. but here it is in all of it's not so glory!!!

My computer has a different time than the blogger time listed below :)

Happy Birthday Dad! (Day 3)

My dear dad's birthday is today! Yeah!!! We called and wished him well (we sent a card earlier, and he gets to see the lil one almost every day (we web chat).

I wish we all lived closer, it's hard when we are thousands of miles away, and soon will be tens of thousands of miles away. I am sure my family will rack up the frequent flyer miles real quick. I can't imagine flying 20 hours but will soon find out.

Ok gotta go and help D with finishing up Lil S's bath!
Whew... and then go and work on my NaNoWriMo book... oh did YOU know that D is writing one too? and he said he may be able to do it in 2 weeks rather than the month it's going to take me.

We'll just see about that!!!

Happy People Read (Day 2)

So Nanoing is going well. I am feeling the creative powers somewhat. I don't know where I am taking my characters, but we will see.

In other news we are all still sniffly. And it's been so cold here that it take an hour for me to dall asleep. Why? Because that's how long it takes me to warm up with my sheets.

Wow.. this is what I am trying to write to update my site... no wonder no one ready my site.. HHAHAHA...

I will try to get some pictures updated here later. Keep the one person that reads the site happy!

Yippie Yay (Day 1)

Wow.. here I am... 1 hour into November, and I am feeling a bit creative. I hope this will continue.

Halloween was good, and we got most of our candy in the hand of kids, but we actually had some left and it will be great to have some to nibble on. The only thing that happened was some hooligans smashed a pumpkin on our driveway and the street, but hey that's part of the day...

Lil S went to a few houses near us and she got some candy, she was more excited about holding the candy than eating any of it. I am sure that's not going to last much longer. She does have a little sweet tooth.

Ok Auf Wiedehersehn for now, but I will be back, hopefully as creative as ever when the sun rises, either that or I will only be updating as a vampire if all my creativity leaves during the day.

Halloweening time

Here we are at Almost Halloweening time! We have a couple parties to attend with the lil one, and then the ghouls and goblins come to our house! We stocked up with lots of candy! It will be our last one in CO... kinda sad, but nonetheless exciting. I can't wait to see the lil one's face when people keep ringing the doorbell! We ran out of candy last year, hopefully 4o bucks worth of candy this year won't let that happen this year.

Also I am updating my posts all month long. So everyday unless I am abducted by space aliens I should have a new post/picture/anything up, and I am also trying to write a 50K novel. We will see if I can do both. That is what I am pushing for, along with taking care of an almost 15 month old, and a 27 year old that's about 3!! haha

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Me Writing a Novel? ????

Ok so I have officially done it, and bit the bullet. I am going to be a participant in the 2006 NaNoWriMo this year. I know it will be tough, and I will have to carve out time to do it as I have OTHER responsibilities. I am excited, and have NO clue whatsoever as to what I will write. I hope I will be able to finish. Wish me luck

long time

Oh wow.. it' s been over a month since I updated... whoops...

It's been crazy.. just things are happening, and things are changing.

We are all doing well. Lil S has 4 teeth now, it's exciting, and she is so full of energy!

D is working working working.

In other news, we will be moving next year. While I will be sad to leave all my friends out here and near Bumblebutt, I am excited about the next journey we will embark on.

Other than that, not too much news. Just getting things packed away slowly. You know how much procrastination I have in me... so had to get started now.

Another great picture

Spent the whole day with the munchkin, and couldn't resist taking some pictures! I can't believe I am so lucky to see this cuteness all the time!

Daddy's new hair cut

Ahh the gratuitous picture blog.. there's not too much going on in these parts.. we did end up going to Grand Junction last week... a very scenic and gorgeous landscape on the way there as well as in the city itself. The area near it called Palisade is know for their vineyards and we even bought a bottle of wine.. we have yet to try it though...

Here is a gorgeous shot of the hubs as well as Lil S....I love it. I think it is my best picture yet!
More pictures of the trip are up on Flickr. Enjoy!
