Still Learning

Here is Mollie our black Lab, and our new kitty Lee Lee, sorry, still learing!! Don't know where they went in my last post!!LOL!!

Some Pics of all our animals!!

New little Lee Lee, Then big Mollie, our black Lab. Then there is Ward our 18lb cat.
The little miniature pinture, is Sparkie. At the very bottom of the page is our 19lb cat named Fang. He is named that because his two top fangs are always out. I mean constantly, he never has them in his mouth. Welcome to our jungle of fun, oh yea, and hair!! You can say we are all huge animal lovers!! Not so huge on the love for hair!!! The two black cats look a like, but they are not related, the one shown sleeping is a minx, he has no tail. Yes, Corinna, Mollie, (the black lab) has been staying in most the time, but especially at night!!! He is huge and sheds ALLOT!!! Gotta sweep the floors everyday, and use my lint brush on the furniture, to rid hair, if the dogs have been on the furniture! Which usually the little ones are. Mollie isn't allowed, she is to big and sheds way to much. But she does sneak up on the furniture from time to time.

I have to say, I took these with my new camera It is a Sony Cyber-shot 7.2 Megapixil, with a 2inch LCD photo screen. I took the pictures, I uploaded them to my own file, and put them on my blog spot!!!!!!!!!!!! Doing a happy dance!!!!! Dance with me will you?!?!?!? I don't know how to navigate the pictures on my blog spot yet. The pictures just end up wherever!! LOL!! But, hey they are on the page!! I will share some pics of my new nephew, soon! I haven't seen him sinse I got my camera. I might go visit him today, if they are at home. Now I need to learn to send them to Costco, so I can scrap them!! If it's to difficult I will just take my little chip in myself, to Wally World, pick the ones I want, and do it that way!! Which Ev.!! I gotta a gift certificate from my sister, but when I was out, at the grocery store yesterday, it was a mad house, don't think I want to venture out to the Mall, to spend it. I am still in my robe!! It's been raining her, blah!! Not much new happening here in the big town of Turlock! Anything exciting happening in Boise?? Come on someone has to have some dirt!?!!?

Sending Hugs,
Love, Sandi

Christmas Kitty

Look at our new Christmas Kitty, isn't she a cutie pie? We adopted her on Christmas Eve Day. She looks just like one of Tyler's old kittens, who had to be put to sleep, after having Leukemia! So when Ty saw her at Pet Extreme, he had to have her!! I thought it was a great Christmas blessing!! Tyler named her Lee Lee, a nickname for Leah. So, keep her and Tyler in your prayers, that when she goes for her Leukemia testing she is fine!! If not Tyler will just be crushed! She sleeps with him and follows him everywhere, it is so cute!!

Yes I took this picture with my new Camera, I didn't use the flash, so it is a little dark. But don't worry, I will be playing with it allot. Steve showed me how to upload the picture and all. I am learning!! Yeepie!!
I really hope and pray that Lee Lee, is a healthy cat. You know when you adopt them, they have been spayed, and have had there kitty shots, but you have to wait so long before Leukemia, shows up!! She was born on August 25th, so on Christmas she turned 4 months old. She goes for her other shots and Leukemia test on New Years Eve!! That has to be a good sign don't you think?!?!? First her b-day is on the 25th, then her testing is on New Years Eve. I am worried!! I am very much the animal lover!! We have 3 cats now and 3 dogs. I will be sharing pictures soon, of all of them!

Hugs!! Keep this cutie pie in your prayers!!

Hello

Hey all!! I haven't been in the conversational mood. Here I am, feeling the Christmas spirit!! Only need a few more gifts and I am done. We are going to Steve's sisters house on Christmas Eve, and to my Fathers house for dinner on Christmas Day. I know, WOW!! I am surprised too!! I hope everything goes well, and everyone gets along. Steve's parents will be meeting Chases boyfriend Marc for the first time! If we go to Steve's sisters, it's on the condition that Steve, has already let them know, cause Marc is invited. He is coming to my Fathers house too. I am nervous, for Chase, and myself, don't wanna have to defend my son, no one better push me!! I just want everyone to enjoy each others company, without judgement, and conflict!! Holidays?!?!?!?



Thinking of all of you here, you know who you are, and all of you out in Idaho!! I wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Love and Hugs to ALL!!



Oh, I will definitely let you know how things go!! Keep us in your prayers!! Remember Judge Not Least You Be Judged.

Just Been In a Funk!!

I have been in bed, for the last two days. I really just haven't felt like talking to anyone. I was very out of control yesterday, and very angry!! I have locked myself in my room and don't really want to come out. It started to come on, on Sunday. I cleaned out my fridge, washed everything down, so I would be ready to stalk up for the Christmas Holiday. Then, that evening I just went from sunny to dark! Maybe it's the Holiday's. I really don't know! I came into my room Monday morning and I am still in here!! I see my therapist tomorrow at 12:30 Maybe she will have some in sight. I really just want to be left alone, I haven't really talked to anyone in my family, just don't feel like I want to talk, I feel I have nothing to share. I definitely don't have any Christmas spirit. The mood I am in I wish it would just pass me by!! I am definitely on a low! I think this is the worst low I have had in a while! I know it will pass, but it truly sucks!! We don't have a tree yet, and I have not bought one present!! Truly I just don't care right now! I am tired of figuring out money, bills, where's the holiday gonna be, where were gonna go......?? I just can't deal with it!! Is it over yet?? It is a good thing I see my shrink tomorrow, I am actually on a low, and she has only seen me, more on a high or manic. The depression, is very bad, that's why I would rather just sleep!! I was on a great high, went to Hawaii, then to see my BFF, in Idaho, then went to Tahoe, with my sister and Niece, no time to have negative, lows, I guess that was a very up, high, now things or very quiet and I am stuck on a low!! I don't know I can't explain how it works. I just know how I feel right now!! By tomorrow it could be a totally different story! I don't know!! I had this sad, cold place!! I wish it was always the warm, high happy place!! The loneliness, and the crying or for the fucking birds!! I mean, nothing has changed, since Sunday, except my mood!! It's just total and complete Bullshit!!
My friend Melonie's daughter Kelsey, had her baby. I haven't even felt like going to see the baby!! I feel like such a hateful bitch, when I am in this mood!!! I am sure there feelings will be hurt, because I haven't been to visit yet. I don't mean to hurt any one's feelings!! It is my reality!! Just felt it would help to vent, I haven't even really wanted to do that!! Sorry, for those who read, no Holiday spirit here!! Sandi

I am OK!!

Hey all thanks so much for worrying about me!!!!! I so appreciate it!! Darcie, LOL!! Did I get lost in a tree lot or in a holiday shopping mob!!! Too Damn funny!! I was busy last week getting ready for a trip, this past weekend to Lake Tahoe. We, My sister and I, my Niece and another girl they work with, went up to Lake Tahoe for their company dinner and weekend stay!! I have to tell you I partied like A Rock Star!!!! We had a freaking BLAST!! Drank to much, danced to much and LAUGHED way toooooooooooooa MUCH!! My gut is still aching!! Had to sleep Monday and Tuesday, to make up for the sleep I missed while we were there. I was up about $125 on three card poker, that's my favorite card game. My sister lost about $200 In the first couple hours!! Crazy girl!! I cashed my chips in, gambled some more and left Sunday with $170 and I only took $200, to start with!! SO the whole trip cost me about $30 can't beat that!! Then of course, I stopped and bought souvenirs, for Steve and the boyz, and myself of coarse!! LOL!! Really great times!! I will have some photos to share soon!! I'll have more stories to tell, so stay tuned!! Natalie, I would love to come back, I miss you all very much!! Hey is C ok, I have tried her on every phone, no answer!! I know she talked to the Doc., I have talked to her once sense then. Hope all is well, with all!! Love and miss ya, Sandi
I gotta run and get Ty., from school, I will try to get back on later!! If you all talk to C' if she is in the mood to talk, have her give me a ring!! Thanks!! PPS, Darcie, glad you are feeling better! I know that surgery, can take allot out of you!! Chat Soon!!

More Pictures

Well, I got some more pictures up, let's see how the writing turns out. The picture on the left is of My Husband Steve and to the right is my oldest son Chase. To the left of my Hubby is my youngest Tyler. We took this last December in San Francisco, after a day of shopping and having lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The picture on the right is of me and Steve. It was taken on a get away trip we took to Monterey. It was actually taken in one of those little picture booths, and we blew it up. They were both great days, that I will cherish always!! To you Steve, Chase and Tyler, I love you with all my heart!! I am blessed to have you in my life. Without you my life would be empty!! Thank you for all your love and support, through out the years!! There are no words to describe the love and thankfulness that feels my heart!!
Your Wife and Mother, Sandi

Friends to the End!!

This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my best est gal., Corinna. This was taken on a vacation, when her and her two beautiful children came out to visit us on the 4th of July. It was around 2002. We had some drinks, some fireworks and some fun!! I was thinking of you Corinna, and I was hoping this would bring a smile to your already beautiful face!! I hope your spirit's are higher today!!

Today, I am playing with this computer, trying to teach myself how to get photo's on my blog. I guess if no one else has the time, I will teach myself!! Besides that my day is pretty blah. Laundry, dishes, cooking, blah, blah! But I am going by Michael's to pick up some adhesive to work on a project! WOW!! I got one of my favorite photos on!!! Now if I can remember how I did it, I can do it again!! Yeah!! I am doing a happy dance!! Sometimes I can get them on my page and sometimes I can't. I am gonna try another one, just for your viewing pleasure!! LOL!! Ok, got the picture on, but now I can't figure out how to get my writing around the picture where I want it!! Oh hell! Maybe on the next one!!

HUGS!!

It was all good.

We had so much damned food, could have had my family and Steve's family all over to eat!! The Turkey was to die for and the ham, was just as good!! It was just Steve, Chase, Tyler and myself. Then Marc, and Iko, came by and ate!! Thank God!! I was thinking man what am I gonna do with all these left overs! I made my moms homemade dressing and it turned out beautifully!! Everything couldn't have tasted any better and we all ate way to much!! After we ate, we watched some movies we had rented, and just kicked it!! No stress!! No I did not do the whole black Friday shopping, not this year. Chase, Marc and their friend Iko sat out at radio shack and got a 8 mega pixil, lcd screen camera for $80. it takes great pictures. Steve went back early that morning cause I wanted one too, and they were already sold out!! I am soooooooo bummed!! Chase said he would share with me, yeah, we all no what that means!! I asked if I could take it to Tahoe with us this weekend, he said no!! Then he comes back in and says he is sorry and I could take it. I told him to forget it, I didn't want to use the damn thing anyway!!!!!!! Just wait till he needs something! I am tired of being the only chica in the house and people being rude and selfish!!! I am glad I am getting out of here for 3 whole days!!! I hope I hit a big jack pot! Then I could afford to go on an even longer vacation!! Love them, mean it!!!! But seriously they can be soooooooooo mean and hurtful it is all about them them them!!! I already told them, not to expect much for Christmas, we have some bills, that need to be paid off and don't have much to spend on Christmas! Like they don't get enough during the year! I guess I am more frustrated at them then I thought. Just hurts my feelings!! Enough fucking crying over spilt milk.

I have to say, I cant believe tomorrow ,up early again, out into the cold, at the but ass crack of dawn. I am not happy about that!! Nope not happy about it at all!!

You ladies enjoy your Monday Morning!! If I get Ty to school early enough, I'll try to make it to Bagels!! LOL!! I'll be thinking of you!!

It was all good.

Gettin Ready

Turkey is Marinating, Steve's Gig! I made my dressing, fruit salad and we got the potato salad done to. That's it for me for tonight. Tomorrow I will be at it again. We usually eat around 2ish. I still have to make mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, green salad, relish tray and Oh, yea Steve has requested some Raviolis also. Chase is making Italian Bread (Fagachia)? However you spell it!! None of those things take to long accept the mashed potato's. But, Stevie will be right in there helping. So all should go well. Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Hope we are all ready, cause it is here!!

No Beverly Hillbillies

WOW! OMG! I finally went shopping for T-day!! Yea, didn't want to do it, but it had to be done. No one else seemed to be taking any steps towards doing the job, so, IT IS DONE!! Now, is the fun of waiting for the damn thing to thaw, cooking all the yummy food, then cleaning it all up!! WOW! OMG! Should I be dancing or crying?!?!?!?!? Love spending the time with my little family, but MAN, it is a lot of work!! Anyone else out there feel the pain???? Sad, and Na., don't pass out, sounds sad........., but I am almost tempted to use paper plates. OOOOHHHHHHHHHH, I know, I said it. PAPER PLATES!! Just think how much easier the clean up would be!!! Haven't bought any, but I sure was checking them out, they had some really pretty ones!! I have some new china, a friend gave me. It's bone china, whatever that is. I don't know!! I know it is really pretty. Still in the box. Maybe, I will take those down, and use them. I could use them. Well, i guess will see what happens.

Cracked me Up

OMG!! I was reading Na., blog and almost laughed my ass off!! She keeps poking the damned bird to see if the bastard is thawing out!! The way it was written, it was great!! Thanks Natalie, I needed that laugh! I am pretty damned stressed myself. I still haven't shopped, I guess, I am hoping, if I wait long enough someone else will do it!!!! OMG, that is hilarious!! RIGHT!! My turkey, is really gonna be frozen if I don't get to the store and get one!! I am gonna be out on the side of one of our rural streets shooting me up some dinner, Beverly Hill Billy style!! Me and ol Jed, will be out there gathering us up some road kill!! LOL!! I will let you all know if and when I make it to the store! Hopefully, we will all get through the holidays with all our hair!!

Weekends Over

Had a slow couple of days. Steve and I slept in til about 12pm, both days! We must have needed to get caught up on some serious sleep! Poor Steve has still been sleeping on the couch because of my snoring. I keep asking him to let me sleep out there so he can get a good nights rest. He won't let me he says no but, I can take a nap during the day and he can't. This week he gets 4 days off for Turkey day. We have a few chores planned to get done around the house. We are gonna do Turkey day here at home with the kids. Chase, is gonna have Marc and Iko, over. We are keeping it simple. I am not gonna put myself through the whole, oh, they don't get along with so and so, or they don't speak to so and so! Forget it!! I am gonna cook with Steve and all the kids, eat,enjoy a rented movie, and it lots of deserts!! Pie, fruit salad, Pie, more Turkey, Pie,LOl!! Gonna try to hit Winco tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest! Hope it isn't completely busting at the seems, from so many damn people!! Good Luck to all!!

Happy Turkey Day Shopping and Cooking!!
Hugs, Sandi

Scappin

Couldn't think of a title. Tonight I finished our girlfriend scrapbook. (little bags), I got all my pictures in it. Well, all I could fit into that book. I am moving on to my next one. I also got all my ribbon tied on my round clamps on my family album that C and I worked on. It looks so darn cute!! They both do, I have them both displayed in my living room. One on our auto men, in a magazine tray, the other is standing up on a entry- way table. I am so pleased with them. I am gonna go tomorrow, and get some adhesive, I , ran out. While I am at the craft store, I am going to try and find some small albums, to make a two baby albums. One for my niece Maria, and one for my other niece Maggie. One album for a girl and one for a boy. I am gonna make the pages, put on some embellishments, and leave the photo part to them. All they will have to do is add the photos and journal. I bought a lot of baby stuff when I was in Idaho, but I need to pick up some more. I gotta check out this scrap store we have in Modesto, it's called," Oh for the Memories", I am hoping they have $1.99 bins to!! Loved Achievers!! I loved all the stores we went to!! SO, much stuff, not enough money!! Well, I hope you gals got to get together for some scrapping, bullshitting and some music......, Oh yea, and let us not forget the food!!

Chat soon, Sandi

Slow Day

Not much to share today. Tyler stayed home sick, and I am still fighting whatever this shit is!! The Dr., finally called some antibiotics in for me. The over the counter stuff, is just not cutting the chest congestion, and Pneumonia, is not something I want twice in one year!!

My Shrink,( Dr., Hildalgo), says, I am doing very well on the meds., she has me on!! I agree, I have been in a much better mood, not snappy and I have been sleeping great. I haven't had a panic attack in a long while, since before the new medication. I flew all alone, and have not been overly nervous about anything, including the Holidays, which I always get CRAZY over. I got to spend some wonderfully over due time with my oldest and bestest friend in the world, which, I can't even explain, how much that means to me!! I am so thankful to Dr., Hildalgo, for helping me. And, thankful to Corinna, all my friends here and my new friends in Idaho, for your patience, understanding, forgiveness and hope!! I pray everyday that all continues to go as well as it has so far!!

Thanks all my love Sandi

Tylers Jail Visit

Tyler had a great time on his field trip to the County Jail. He loved it!! He is more convinced now that he wants to be a Police Officer,...., more now than ever. When, I, picked him up from school yesterday, he was so excited to share his experience. Besides a couple of whistles from inmates, he loved it! They actually showed them the coarse you have to do in the Academy, to pass, the physical fitness coarse. They told the class how many sit-ups, push ups etc., then they showed them the actual obstacle coarse. Tyler said it would be a breeze for him!! He is very sure of himself!! LOL!! Which I think is a good thing. I am so glad it was such a positive experience for him. So, he is going to continue to follow his dream! He told me, when they walked by where the inmates take their showers, someone poked their had out from behind the shower curtain and yelled,"DON'T DROP THE SOAP", Tyler thought that was hilarious!! Of coarse those people or in their for non violent crimes. The inmates in for violent crimes such as battery or murders, were not allowed out of their cells during the tour. Tyler said, the felony inmates, were the ones stuck in their cells whistling at the class and making rude comments. He told me the windows to their cells were covered in white stuff!! Yea, Ty, said he new what THAT was!! GROSS!! All in all it was a 10 for Ty's day!! I am so glad he got to experience all of it. It really gave him a better idea of what it is all about!!



Today, I get to go to Tracy, to see my shrink. I'm hoping I can get rid of one of my meds. If she feels it wont interfere with my progress. Just costing so much, for the meds. Steve, said he doesn't care as long as I continue to progress and feel better!! So, Steve and I will be headed out to Tracy, then I will come home and do some laundry, and get my dinner going!



Be proud Idahoans, I have scrapped this week!! Just a bit, in my friends book. But, I am gonna wait for the pictures of all of us, to finish it. So, I can add pictures of my new friends too!!

I am also gonna check out some embroidery patterns, give it a shot!! Ok C, no heckling!!

County Jail

Well, got up early this morning to get Tyler to school for a field trip. He is going to the County Jail. His whole class gets to go inside the jail on a tour, of the whole facility. I actually had to sign a consent form regarding hostage situations. If Tyler was to become a hostage, of one of the inmates, the school nor the Jail, would be responsible for the demands of the hostage taker!! Wow!! That was a totally different consent form, then the norm!! I was a little taken back, kinda scary!!
Tyler was very excited!! As I have probably mentioned Tyler wants to be a Police Officer. So, he is taking his criminal justice class as a Jr., it counts toward his college credits! I am a little worried about him. I will feel better once I pick him up after school today. I can't wait to hear how it went.

As for me, well, I am finally getting rid of that awful cold. Thank goodness. Still have a little cough, but, the fever has finally broke.

My niece Maria, came by last night with my sister, nephew, my new great nephew Jr. Jr., is getting so big he will be 3 months old this month. I can't believe it, already. He was laughing and smiling at me last night so darn cute. Maria, (my niece), still wants me to babysit. I keep avoiding the question. I love him and would love to do it part-time, but everyday, at least 9 hours a day. I just don't think I want to be stuck in the house that much. I mean, I don't go out much, but at least if I decide to go shopping or to lunch with a friend, I can just get up and go. I feel a little bad about not doing it, but, hey, my kids are pretty much grown. If it was my grandchild, it may be different.

I will let you all know how Tyler's field trip goes. I really hope he enjoys himself.

Rain

It rained here today. Just a little early this morning! It cleaned some of the crap out of the air. It is suppose to be sunny the next couple of days. But we all know how those weather reports can change from minute to minute! I am feeling a little better! I have been drinking a lot of herbal teas. Some are very yummy, some are disgusting!! My fever has went down some, so I finally had some chicken soup! I made it myself!!! This morning, Steve, did make me some eggs and bacon! That was very sweet of him!! I guess I shouldn't complain, the poor guy hasn't had much if any sleep since I got home. The first night I was OK. Once this cold came on, the snoring has been even worse. The poor guy has been sleeping on the couch! Maybe tonight I should offer to sleep out there. Usually when I offer he won't let me anyway. But, it's the thought that counts. Maybe I should sleep with Chaser, so Steve can have the bed to himself. Hell I don't know what to do! I am keeping everyone awake. First it was the snoring. Now it's the snoring and the coughing!! Well, I can't help it!! So, I should give myself a break!! I mean I am not doing any of it intentionally! I just know Steve is very tired and hasn't had a good night sleep all weekend! You can tell in his personality!! He needs a good night sleep!!! LOL! grrrrrrrrrr!! Here is to saying goodbye to this BS of a cold hopefully soon, and to my Hubby finally getting some decent sleep!!

Reality!!

Well, It is amazing to me, when you are gone everyone can do things for themselves, and when you get back home, it seems they have forgotten how to do anything!! I am frustrated, irritated and feel like shit!! I got, some kinda crazy plane bug, on the way home. My throat is so scratchy, I can't talk, and I have a awful cough, a 101degree fever, and I am just completely and totally angry!! Men, can be a huge pain in the ass!! Kids, same!! I love them all, but,,,,,,,, thanks for doing all kinds of things around the house, including cooking, until I came home! I need to go to the store, we are out of everything. I am not going!!! I feel like hell, and I am not getting dressed and going shopping the way I feel!!
Sorry, I am just venting!! Anyone out there feeling my pain? LOL!! Really, it's not funny! Laugh or cry, Those are my two options, I don't have the strength right now to do either!! I gotta get rid of this fever, I feel like I am on fire!! Thank God, for Chases lap top!! I can sit up here in bed and type!! It is that, watch TV or go back to sleep!! When I lay down it seems the coughing gets worse. SO I will sit up until it's sleepy time again!!

Miss all you Idaho Ladies!!
Hope to see you all again soon!! Hey the way things are going here I might just hop on a plane and come back. It's questionable if they would even notice if I was gone!! Steve is in the living room watching, Nascar Tyler is in his room playing ? On his TV, and I am in my room, watching my TV and bitching to all of you! Chase went out to dinner with Iko and Marc. What are we having for dinner (you ask)........, I have no clue!! But I do need to eat and I am getting pretty hungry! I better go and fend for myself, Now, if the Man was sick, oh Lord, you better be at their beck and call!! Thanks for listening to my ranting!!

Home Home Again

Well, I made the flight home!! It was a cool flight. I had a window seat and could see everything!! Those smaller plans fly at a lower altitude, so you can see the scenery the whole flight!! Idaho, was wonderful. I had a terrific time.I already miss my oldest and best est friend Corinna! I also miss my new friends I made while I was there!! Big shout out, to Natalie, Darcie, Kori, and no,........... I didn't forget, the biggest shout out to my sis ta Corinna!! The time went by way to fast!! I hope to come back to visit all of you soon!! You all made me feel like part of the group!! THANKS!! I really needed that!! You are all very blessed to have each other!! Gotta say Hey, to Mama Lucille. Thanks for coming over to Corinna's and having dinner with us! It was great to visit with ya. I really wish I lived closer!! It is always very hard for me when I go to visit Corinna. We have always had a very special bond and have been through so much, I hate to leave her, it makes me very sad!! I feel we miss out on so much of each others daily lives! Corinna, it was very special, being there spending time with you. Thanks for including me in the remembrance of your Father. You, holding my hand, with your Fathers coin in between our hands, while you got your tattoo, meant so much to me!! The tears we shared that day and all the days before,.....as well as all the laughter, are and will always be printed on my heart!! Happy tears as well as sad!! Thanks so much for the gift!! I will wear it daily, it's very close to my heart!! I think it would make a very cool tattoo!! Oh No, I think I have found my addiction!! LOL!! Hope you have gotten some sleep and are feeling a little less emotional today!! C, remember to put your tattoo goo on!! LOL!

To all you Idahoans, Steve loved the tattoo!! ??????????????????? I think you catch my drift!

Today, has been a quiet reflective day for me. Hard to get back into the swing of things!! I am tired, still emotional, and have a lot of dirty laundry to do!! Back to reality!!

When I got home the boyz had the whole house cleaned , and Steve had my cracked windshield, on my car fixed for me! Very sweet!! They missed me!! Yea!! I really missed them too!!

Hugs, Sandi

Well, this year is going to be especially awesome. I just finished making all my arrangements to go visit one of my oldest and dearest friends Corinna!! The reason I said str8 trippin, is cause I am gonna fly out to see her on Halloween!!! ooooowwww!! Kid din I am not superstitious!! Maybe I will find a costume, and dress up, when I get there, maybe I can get Corinna to do it to!! It would have been four years this Thank giving, since we have seen each other!

7. When I gotta go, I gotta go. I am not very modest!!

Later Babes Tag your it!!

Flu Weekend

Well, this weekend my plans got turned to shit in a hand basket!! I went shopping with Ty that night, had Kelsey's gift already, went and had my hair and nails done, for the big baby shower, and ended up in bed all weekend with the stomach flu!! BOTH ENDS, if you know what I am saying?!?!?!!? It wasn't pretty!! This afternoon I felt a little better, but I haven't eaten since Friday evening. I just ate a little just about a half an hour ago, I will let you know how that went tomorrow. Oh.........., bet you can't wait!!

But I had a great surprise, which made me feel better My nephew who is 22, just turned 22 the same day Chase turned 19 on the 12th of this month!! Well, he was down from San Diego, to visit, he came buy to see me!! He is in the Marine Core, and he doesn't get much leave. He came over with his Dad, my oldest brother Steve and my Sister, Laura, came by with Maria and Daniel and Maria's little baby Jr., who I just adore!! So I got to see my great nephew and two of my regular nephews and a niece! Made me feel better!! I can't believe Max is 22, I baby sat him, when he was just a little baby like Jr., Gosh, time is flying by!!

Maria had mentioned, that she would love for me to babysit for her, and that she would pay me $400 a month. I am seriously considering it!! What Am I doing sitting at home anyway?!?!?! But I do have my freedom!! Come and go as I please, hang out or go do something with a friend or by myself, like message or mani., and pedies!! Steve had a idea. If I can get up and stay up all day, and go work-out or just do something for myself outside of the house, without taking a nap all day!!! Then I should think about it seriously!! LOL!! Wow, he has a good point, cause it's been quit a while since that's happened, the no nap thing, oh, and the working out thing!! He has a pretty good point, if I do say so myself!!

Is anyone reading, working out? Or are you doing any kind of exercise, cause truly I just don't want to!! I want the weight to just fall off, and then I want my body to magically tone up!! Anyone out there feeling me?!?!?!?!? I absolutely hate exercising!!! I use to love it, was a keep it tone kinda girl.........., and then..........., well I looked down and said, oh fuck it!! LOL!!
My Husband loves me, my friends love me, who needs it?!?!?!!? Well, I do!!!!! HELP!! I need an intervention!!!! The next time I set foot an a beach in Hawaii, I at least want to be in a two piece. And I am not talking about a skirtini, already have one of those. Next thing you know, if I don't watch it I will have to swim in a moo moo!! I would love to look hot for my Hubby! But more than that for myself. At least feel better in my clothes, and just in my own body!! Ever feel like your personality just doesn't fit your body-type?!!?? ROTFLMAO!! I know mine doesn't!! I'd be out there struttin my shit in a string bikini!! LOL!!

Well at least I am feeling better, stomach isn't so bad. Tomorrow is a new day, let's see what it brings!! Hopefully it is all good!!

Love to all, Just Breath, Sandi

Nice Day

Today was an 8 for me. I slept in, my meds make me tired. But all and all I do feel much better. Thank God! I went to pick Ty up from school, dropped him off at home, and took myself to my nail place. Had my nails filled, they look really cute, I had her put little black kitties and each ring finger. Then I had a pedicure. Felt wonderful!!! I had my toenails painted black, and had her put pumpkins and grey bats on each of my big toes!! They look awesome!! I am very much in season. Ready for Halloween. After my nail appt., I came home picked Ty up and we went to Wal-mart. I know OMG, that place is a mad house. I needed to pick up some groceries, well you know, sodas, snacks, cereals, the things you save on at the WM. Anyway, it was so busy, Ty wanted to flatten someone. He was so irritated, people not saying excuse me, walking right in front of us. Just rude people! But he held out, and we got our shopping done. I found the cutest gifts for Kelsey's baby shower!! It is hard to choose, when you are buying for a little girl. They have so much cute stuff!! Tyler got tired of waiting for me to make a decision!! After we did the WM, thing, we went through Jack in the Box for some super tacos and a soda. We had a good time. He is hilarious, always makes me laugh!!

Just Breath

Well,
I decided to name my blog just breath. The reason behind the title is........., that sometimes in our hurried life, we forget to just stop and look around, see the beauty all around us, and just take in a deep breath and smell all the different scents!! I forget to stop and enjoy all the smells, sights and sounds a lot of the time! I think, for me getting older has really gotten me to take a long hard look around. I am trying to take the time to smell the flowers, the rain, even the smell of the country. Where I live that simply means cow poop! LOL! I will share more tomorrow!! Sandi
