It's almost here

You see all that blue....Yeah, snow. I normally don't mind snow when the temp is nice and their is no wind, but guess I am not going to be so lucky today. I guess what gets me is that I have a shit load of things to do today and the wind is not letting up. This means I have to drive around in it. Wish me luck. I will let you know how it turns out.

It's a beautiful day.

So last week my "boss" told me that he as off to sunny San Diego. He said that while he was away I should go to Hawaii or take a vacation. So what does that mean to you??? I heard, "Since I am going to be gone, why don't you take those days off too." OK So that I did. Most everyone had Monday off anyway, which was nice.
So today I had a hair appointment and had other errands to run in town. My appointment wasn't until 10 so I didn't have to leave till 9:30. I got up with Bean and Mr. sent them off on the bus and he left. I, went back to sleep. It was fantastic until I started to have a strange dream about my old car and not being able to drive anymore. The car started to make all these weird ringing and beep noises at me and I realized that the phone was ringing. Oh shit!! Not a problem but, my arms were so numb (I fell asleep on them) and you know how it is when you are waken up from a stupor.
Guess who..my "boss". He gives me this big spiel about how he would like me to get all this shit done by the end of the week and find a very important piece of paper (that nobody knows the whereabouts) because person XYZ needs it by today. And he and his wife and kids are off to the zoo and they are moving hotels to be next to the beach.
ummmm
what?? OK I will see what I can do for you.

OK What ever...I look at the clock and it's shortly after 9. After my heart slows down, I realized it was a good thing he called because I probably would have slept until 11.
Then the phone rings again about 5 minutes later. It's "bosses" Dad. He told me the same thing about the important papers business as if "boss" hadn't called him. People, I get told what to do most of the time, twice.
I got up and had a quick breakfast, washed my faced, got dressed and out the door I went. Oh my land. It was fantastic outside. At 9:40 it was already 28 degrees and the frost was absolutely beautiful! I cursed my appointment because I wanted to get the camera out and go take shots around the countryside but alas, Neely called....(Neely is my hair girl) So I was done with my appointment earlier than expected and ran all the errands all without my jacket.

Since my hair appointment and errands took less time than I thought, which was nice, I had time to stop and get some other things done at work that I had said I would.

By the time I arrived home it was 45 degrees and time to get ready for the evening.

We haven't this nice weather in a long time.

Perfect timing all around. Dinner was made, laundry was shuffled and I have Ice Cream making in the basement and it is almost done. That will my icing on the top of a beautiful day for me.

Interesting

This morning when we woke up, Mr. turned the tube on and Prairie Public had on I think was a McLaughlin Group or something. They were talking about Putin and Russia and how Putin told the Russian press how, in Lehman's terms, America is turning into garbage. Especially its' "ruler". Now please keep in mind that this is what I got out of the conversation and I am looking around for more information on the discussion. All I can say is this: I fucking hate the job that this President and his administration is doing. I also can't stand the President. When I hear him speak, I get ill. Then I feel like throwing shit at my television.

More to come.

Color me

I have a tattoo.
Which of course is not unusual for anyone these days. I enjoy a good ink pictures now and then and I must admit I have been bit by the ink bug again.
I want another tattoo. I have an idea of what I want but, I don't know, am I scared? Nervous? Unsure? I see the work done on shows like Miami Ink and I just melt. I think it's that I see the beautiful work done and get scared that I am not going to get something that is as good? Oh well. At least I get my crush off on Ami. I think he's fucking hot.

I think I am going to take my family out to eat at the local Mexican Restaurant. Nothing says I love you like really bad bean farts.
Enjoy your day!

2008 Here we come...

I as well as the Mr., enjoy listening to Barack Obama speak. He is clear and articulate. He sounds good. Smoker or not. To me, when I hear him (his voice) I want to pay attention. Is this weird? I don't know. I can tall you though, I got the same reaction when President Clinton spoke. I still do.
I will be paying close attention to all his coverage as well as all the other candidates very closely these next two years.

On another note, Mac got a sewing bug, and it spread rapidly. I finished sewing Beans nightgown last week. Look OK. For a girls pajamas. It gave me practice and courage to do other things.
I started a Holiday quilt many many years ago. So on Sunday morning I gathered all pieces and started laying it out. ...I hope I can have it done by the next Holiday season.

I would kick you in the...

I just heard a commercial on the radio for a Truck Stop restaurant. They are offering a Lovely Valentine dinner and inviting you to join them on the special day.

Note to Mr. and all other men out there.....Do NOT take your Valentine to a dinner or meal to a fucking Truck Stop. I don't care how good the "mashed potato's" are. I wouldn't eat in a truck stop if you paid me.

Weekends are for.

Yesterday was a good day. Slept in a bit, had and awesome breakfast with the Mr., and finished up my part of our taxes (I am done with it).
I printed off some of the pictures that I took at Muffins for moms day so I could bring them over to the subjects. Bean and I did it last night and it was fun visiting with them. They have four kids, two of which are twins and the house is in constant chaos. Bean stood there with the look of shock on her face because she is not used to that kind of....behavior?
So after I showered up and got ready I told the Mr. that I wanted to do something fun instead of sitting around the house. So after we picked Bean up from Grandma V's we took her to the bowling alley.
Apparently I am loading pictures incorrectly....

She had a good time and that was the pay off in the end.
Then we had drive all the way to Breck to pick Jon from his friends house. Alot of drive time but all worth it. I don't care if I have to drive like that more often.
Just have to be happy that the gas prices are not as high as they were.
Holy shit, when that stuff was up to 3 plus dollars a gallon....I wouldn't go hardly anywhere.

Today is a slack day for me. I didn't sleep much last night so tonight I will have to take something to assist in an all niter.
The weather was wonderful this early afternoon ( It actually got up to 30 degrees) so Mr. got the snowmobile going and took Bean out for a few rounds. Jon got off the computer for a while and took a ride too. I stayed in and did some sewing. Yeah I am that exciting. Then Mr. said I should get out and breathe in some fresh air. I am glad I did, it was refreshing.
I took Bean for a few rounds on the snow mobile and then we cleaned out my car. It needed it.

Now I have to go finish getting ready and help Jon make fruit and yogurt for his 4-H meeting tonight. We leave in T minus 95 minutes. eeeee

I will get all pictures up an Flickr.

Yeah for Grandma's and friends

Tonight, my dear friends, my children are gone! My daughter is at grandma's and my son is going to his buddy's. Niiicceeee.
The margarita cup floweth over.
mmmmm....

Today was a busy afternoon for me. I brought Sammy in to get groomed, shopped, dropped Bean off at Grandma V's, picked up the dog, went grocery shopping, went home, made dinner...
OK, I am done.
TV time for me for a bit the maybe some business matters with the husband. oh, and of course, drinks are on the house!

Thank land it's Saturday tomorrow.

Come to the light.

Welcome, Welcome, all are welcome.

Please let me know if everything looks ok.

One thing I can't stand is when a blog is not pleasing on the eyes.

Hey now!

OK I am going to give it another shot.....

Maybe this time I won't make it so difficult for my unknowing self.
I hope you will stop in to see what I am up to and if I have figured out how to post my pictures.
Enjoy.

I hope your bundled up, cuz it's cooollllddd out side!
