I'm sooo bored...I just spent a half an hour messing around with my blog...and all I really did was change the color. Oh well, any type of change is good.





Anyway, I felt like posting another picture of the cutie patooti...
so here she is at the center of attention...just the way she likes it.

I feel sooo smart

All thanks to Sabrina. She helped me through and I did my own taxes. I feel great now. This is the first time I had every attempted to do them myself. Although, I'm a little bit irritated, because I was not able to deduct my child care expenses. Which I should have been able to, no matter what. And I was like 350-400 short of being able to deduct my medical costs too. Maybe this year, I will keep better records. Especially since I know a little bit more about what I'm doing. So, yeah me! And a huge THANK YOU to my girl Sabrina. And now, I am more than ready to take my vacation. I feel comfortable that I can afford it...and I feel more than ever like I really really need it.

No paychecks, half dead cats, and Pink eye...

So are the days of my life....with my life lately, there is always something going on. I almost wish it would go back to the boring do nothing way it was. But just within the last week, I've been hit with stuff. Ok, so the cat has been having problems for more than a week, but he seems to be getting worse rather than better. I took him back to the vet this afternoon and am just sick about it...because I don't think that there is anything more that we can really do for him...and it saddens me...a lot. I mean it's not one of your every day cats, this is Lucky. The cat we brought back to life as a kitten, the cat who I think used up more than 9 lives thus far. He's our baby. And now, for the second pay period in a row, checks are not here yet. How irritating...I have bills to pay, my employees/co-workers have bills to pay. What the hell is up with this. And I don't think tax season is a good enough excuse, cause I send him all the info, he just figures the deductions and prints the checks...minor math people...easy enough. And as if that weren't enough, Mickayla has Pink Eye. Ok, so she didn't have anything more than a very mild case, but talk about a very contagious and gross infection. And it caused me to have to find someone to cover for me, which is hard to do, since I'm the only person that does what I do. But after I opened and took Mickayla to the dr., Nicole came in on her day off to help me out. Which was GREATLY appreciated.

Anyway, so it's not been a great week..but what can you do. I suppose it can only get better from here...at least nothing too serious has happened...it just feels sometimes that my life is way too full of drama. And who needs it, I don't.

Geez, I don't think this is a good sign, I just had an amish guy walk in the store (as the always do) and my first thought was "oh! he's kind of cute." What the hell is wrong with me? Oh yeah, I need a man.

Just felt like putting this in here, cause she's just so darn cute.

Thanks Dad

So, on Saturday, before my folks left for Arizona for two weeks, I watched them pack their stuff and waited to say good-bye to them. I gave them both hugs and kisses and wished them a safe and fun trip. Then dad says to me, do you have your house key, or maybe you should borrow mom's. And I said, I think I do, but let me look....well, needless to say, I had to borrow my mom's. So, I get back downstairs after looking for my key, and my dad says to me. The reason I've been locking the door lately is becuase there has been a strange red pick up parking on our street. So, if this weren't bad enough (cause you all know what a wuss I am) he then leaves and takes Zeus out to Nate and Sue's. So, yeah, my nights have been very crappy. I may need to go out and get my Zeus to protect me...or just take Bart as Nate suggested.

From Left: Christina Ricci, Bob Hope, Drew Barrymore, Judy Garland, Shakira, and Matt Le Blanc

Who would have thought.

Poor Doggy

I feel bad, I think I hit a dog today...actually, the dog may have hit me. All I know is I heard a bump. But, I was already enough past it, that I didn't run it over. What happened is, my neighbor's (by the red house that is) dog apparently got loose, she still had half her chain hooked to her. Anyway, she was on the wrong side of the road and started to chase my car and I sped up to not hit her. Well, I think she hit me. So, I had to chase her around and the people's neighbor on the other side helped me catch the poor little thing. I then tied her back up. Now I need to call the above mentioned and let them know what happened. Craziness. It scared the crappola out of me that's for sure.

On a better note though, I am painting my room tonight. Starting it anyhow. I bought this cool purple paint (auburgine I believe it's called) and that will be my base coat, then I will go over it with two lighter purples tomorrow or something...with a double roller...then after it will be covered it a translucent glaze to give it that irridecent look..it will match my bed stuff and be on the two walls opposite my bed and windows...should be neato

Fun in the Sun

YIPPIE!!!! I'm going to San Diego, it's official. Well I'm not 100% sure on the date, I need to talk to some key people first, but the trip is definately going to happen near the end of March. I'm soooooooooooooooooo excited. First of all, I'm excited to see Jake. Second, I haven't been to CA since I was 10 and I really really miss it there. Third, I've actually never spent much time in the San Diego area (except when Nate graduated boot camp and we went to Disneyland.) At least I think it was Disneyland...and that's what they told me it was, but who knows with my family what they will tell me and how true it really is. Fourth, if my girlies are serious about coming with (which I hopes they are) an awesome day trip to Vegas will be planned as well. I'd also, if we have time and it's not too far of a drive, I'd like to head up to the are where I used to live, that would be a trippy time. So, I'm excited...and whether my girls come or not (which they better) CALIFORNIA here I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. The above is my happy face

Snow Blows

So, I never used to mind snow, in fact I loved it. I could go skiing, sledding, or just watch it fall. But after today, it can kiss my big fat *&%...sorry, I keep forgetting this is supposed to be a family site. There is actually a reason behind this new found hate. Let me first just state, that I was already a bit sore from cleaning up the house and painting all day yesterday. Ok, so I'm irritated cause I knew it was cold today and that I was running really late and had overslept. After I finally was able to get Mickayla and myself around to leave it was 8:40 (I get to work at 8:20-8:30) So, while in a hurry to get going, I was walking faster than normal and slipped on the sidewalk...caught myself and continued on my way. Well, I decided to cut through the grass, slipped and down I went. Normally this isn't a big deal, in fact it happens to me all the time, right guys? Except this time my already tender knee (from scrubbing floors yesterday) jerked straight and I almost couldn't get up. And maybe it doesn't sound that bad, but picture it with little Mickayla standing by the car saying mommy that was funny, you looked funny and laughing and me saying "Shut Up, that hurt! Don't laugh at me" then she continues by saying, "You should have used the sidewalk...I used the sidewalk and I didn't fall" *insert swearing to self here* "Mickayla you don't laugh when you find out that someone hurt themself"..."it was really funny mommy, heeheehee". Yeah, what a day I'm having already.

Craziness

So, it's been a day or two since I've posted...and not that I have anything much to say, I thought I'd share with you all the array of strange statues I saw on some site that I can't remember the name of, and some other things I found...
First things first...here is the largest cat I have ever seen in my life. He's like Yuki x 10

Next, we have the ugliest cat I have ever seen.

Statues...oh these odd statues...you all saw the one that resembles a poopy on Jake's site right? Well, none of these look quite as disgusting, but they all struck me as odd and pointless.

So first we have the thumb, at least I think it's a thumb, trying to hitch a ride maybe...

Then we have the human pretzel...minus the arms and body.

And the kids playing leap frog....

The afternoon stroll with Baby...

And last but not least, the man with his head through the wall...I'm not sure about this one, is it symbolizing something...maybe the great depression? I don't know...it's just plain silly. Who thinks of these things...

Maybe...just maybe it was my boyfriend "Ron" that's what I call him anyhow...I'm not real sure what his real name is...I just know he's hot and I wanted him for my boy toy.

The New Year

So, now it's official, it is 2006. A new year is upon us and I still have made no progress in reaching my goals. In fact, I'm so far from some of them, that I wonder is I ever really made them in the first place. Oh well. So, supposedly this is the year of the iron dragon or some crap like that and what a way to start off the new year than to take one of those email tests/chain letters and to make a wish and send it on and wait and wait and wait until it finally is forgotten. So maybe these things never work for me cause I don't believe...Or maybe the controller of fate thinks they are a joke too, I have no idea. I do know, they don't work. They say they will and they don't. Even so, I find myself filling them out and sending them on in some sort of meager attempt to turn luck my way. So, we'll see maybe this new year means that hey these little tests will come true...I'll get what I think that I always wanted and in about 6 months (or less) find out it was only what I thought I wanted. So, in the end, I find that I am happy that these tests and quizzes and horoscopes are just for fun, because if they really worked, I'd probably find that I'm less happy than I was before receiving the email. However, my real horoscope (you know the one in the State Journal that is real :) said on New Years Eve that the day was a 10 and I will be expecting to see my true love in the near future...lol....Anyway...before I drag on any further. I would like to wish you all a belated happy new year. Hope your resolutions come true. As for me, I have made some new ones this year and voided out those of the past. Lets keep our fingers crossed that all good things keep going and the bad things come to a screeching halt.
