So glad...

that the chicken pox are gone, and chris is feeling better and back at school!



Will update more later- just wanted to assure my handful ofreaders that I have not given up the ghost of blogging. Not until june at least when I can no longer find my head---will post about that another day...today I am just enjoying that fact that my head is still securely attached.

we've got...

the pox- andwe feel like parents of the year for not realizing what they were sooner (thanks nancy and mom!), but neither one of us has had it (pray for us) and, you just dont see it all that often anymore. We are taking him to the peds. tomorrow to confirm-- looks like a long itchy week ahead for chris, and hopefully no itchy pox for b or I.

At least he's in good spirits!

Excellent Day with my bff...

will have to borrow one of the many shots we *tried* to take this afternoon andmaybe post it here.

Seriously, other then that though...I have lost my faith in humanity. I seriously think damn near everyone is going straight to hell...donotpassgodonotcollect200dollarsfuckyougooddayamericaandallthatjazzamen! Ugh-Iam not even going to going to go into what happened (two things two days in a row) because it is over and done with, and it just makes me miserable to dwell on it, but I am disgusted with people in general...

Another thing that totally bums me out is I dont feel like scrapbooking at all...my mind is so focused on other things right now that the need and drive to want to be creative just isn't there(other then painting here and there for my etsy shop)

Somebody pray that the blahs leave me soon....UGH- thank god fucking winter is over....praise the lord!

Imagine....me- having a crazy life---

NAH. never...no couldn't be possible! Well, I am about to wrap up the first 7 week session of water aerobics on friday- today was the last weigh in date before then. I am down a total of 12 lbs from when I started 7 weeks ago. I did gain from this weekend---all the alcohol and junk food. I will probably check again on friday, but overall I am happy with 12 lbs- it's a great jump start, and its more then my one pound a week goal.

Friday B and I are going to sign back up for school. I am GOING TO FINISH SCHOOL DAMMIT! There, I said it, and now its true. I am really going to do it this time come hell, high water, and student loans. Do I know what I want to be?? No, not really... but we will get to that eventually. I know that my major will be history or Poli Sci. And that my future career will fall somewhere in there... maybe I will double major?? I kinda just figured since the baby thing doesnt seem like its going to pan out.....I should probably do something with my life :-/

The only other thing I have really been doing lately is uploading all my pictures to snapfish- a very long and tedious NECCESSARY process...please, if you dont have your pictures backed up online...please do so TODAY!!

This just cracks me up





ummm ok, so the pictures got all screwy when I adjusted their size, but you get the point- I had a great weekend-- love you girls!

TGIF

Thank god it's friday, I totally didn't go to class today--- and I will probably regret it all day, but I just didn't feel up to it, plus I am totally blowing my diet this weekend---why not start today right??? Peanut Butter M&Ms for breakfast!!

I am so excited to spend some time with some of my girlfriends this weekend- much needed time away to just relax and not have to worry about the boys or the dogs, or mr.panicatthediscobunny.

I *hope* to get some scrapping done today- even if it is just one page- I just got the hottest new paper from Rollie- its from MME, and its fabulous as all their products are. I also have some paper I am dying to work with from Cosmo Cricket. Their stuff is so beautiful, and the blackboard chipboard intrigues me with all the stuff you can do with it..... so... lets hope for some selfish creative time soon.

To whom it may concern:

Ok. so I am going to send my 'lovely' neighbors a singing telegraph--preferably delived by a california raisin with a brooklyn accent, and this is what it will say.

To whom it may concern:

It has come to my attention that maybe you misplaced your copy of "Living in a twin home: a guidebook, general rules, etiquette and such." If this is the case, let me highlight some of the more important items in it:

1. Vacuuming after 10 pm is not generally acceptable. Vacuuming times are appropriate between the hours of 7 am- until 10 pm.. this gives you plenty of time to suck up those nasty dust bunnies.

2. It really is not neccessary to play the song War by Low Rider every night at 10:26 pm, I promise. If it is part of some video game...turn it down.

3. If you know that there is not a complete wall in the basement between the two houses (and you do) then please do not fill our house with incense. Please use incense where all walls are fully intact. I am a little tired of incense induced migraines.

4. Your children should not be running around like crazy animals at all times of the day and NIGHT. Remember if you can hear us WALKING around our house, we can hear the stampedes going on at your house.

5. I do not like Mariah Carey, just as I am sure you do not like my punk rock music mixed in with my broadway showtunes. I make sure that it is not heard through out the entire house, can you turn it down a notch, I am tired of not being able to hear what going on on card sharks.

6.IF you insist on having like wars at your house all the time, will you make sure that htey dont spill out into the streets. Waking up to the sounds of sirens and flashing blue and red lights is enough to give you a heart attack.

7. Lastly, if the religious people come to your door remember it is good etiquette to tell them that we are not home, nor are we interested, and htey don't need to leave a pamphlet. I do it for you all the time when the missionaries stop over.

I hope you soon happen upon your handbook.

The Neighbors

O-bla-dee-o-bla-da life goes on....

yaaaaa shananana life goes on...

This is where I am at... this is my frame of mind in accepting things I cannot change, and hoping and praying that someday soon things will fall into place as they should (hopefully as i want).

I've been in a funk lately, and should apologize to my friends, but thats why they are my friends I imagine---they understand and know when I am in a funk, and forgive me before i even say anything.

Its going to be another crazy weekend(on top of this week already being crazy,and its only WEDNESDAY!!), probably head down to my FIL house- he has been in the hospital this week, and so we need to head down there and see him. We also want to get onelast trip out ofour zoo membership before it expires.

In happy news--- I was out of water aerobics for a week, was terrible on my diet, and I didn't gain any weight!!! Woohoo!!

and whats a post without a picture??

this is happiness--- serious happiness (oneday of retail therapy at DSW)

and guess who has to go on a diet???

thats right, Buddy...or as I call him...Butters
