not enough time

Post by: Chris on January 19th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

Well it seems I dont have much time this weekend to do much blogging. I needed to clean the house so bad as its becoming a zoo of two people, one cat and one turtle. So I have spent all morning washing, cleaning and mopping. I have not mopped the tiles in prob 5 months! It was pretty disgusting. We bathed the turtle, combed the cat and fed everyone as well. I now need a break. Hopefully, dinner tonight at Red Lobster !

Animals

Post by: Chris on January 18th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things, Travel

I am not much of a hunter, and when we fish, we always catch and release, but I do strongly support the people that feed the animals in this fetchin’ cold weather. They use a type of Game Feeder. I have seen these around and they are pretty neat! We have lots of wildlife out here in Utah and there are Ranches up East in our Mountains in which we can take sleigh rides in the winter and watch the animals eat up close. Cold, but neat. And I am alway happy to see happy animals with their bellies full!

Christmas is over. However, we are sooo lucky to have some Chocolate left over. This picture is a well, Santa, but he is a chocolate Santa that flew over all the way from Germany just a few weeks ago. I love Chocolate. I think I will eat him for desert today! I have to have Chocolate every day. YUM !

Vegas

Post by: Chris on January 18th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I want to go to Las Vegas. No, not to gamble, but since they are all saying this is such a family friendly place; I want to go with my family, meaning me and my son, and have some family fun. No Gambling. Well I guess my parents can come if they really want to, heeheehee. Oh and my sister too, and brother in law. Oh heck, the whole gang can come!

Okay to tell the truth….my son is turning 13 in a few months and I thought it would be like way fun to take a trip there to celebrate his Birthday. I know, sounds strange, but my co-worker just got back with his family and they had a ball! We were there when my son was 4 and we had fun too ! Excalibur is a blast, the medieval dinner and show, the arcade in the basement, The Mickey Mouse house, the rides and of course, the Buffets…. Yum !

I have been looking on line and there are some Cheap Hotels. I can probably get a good hotel for around $100.00 give or take. I don’t want to spend much more than that. But then again, we do want to stay on the Strip, like maybe Excalibur or that Pyramid one, or even MGM Grand.

I have a few months to decided, oh, and Save Money….so we have to see.

Okay. It’s Friday.

Post by: Chris on January 18th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things, Family, Health

Well here it is, finially Friday ! wee hee. It’s been one of those weeks in which the week goes by very slow, but the days fly by. Go Figure.

I’ve actually done lot of thinking this week. Mosly about myself and what I want to put up with, what I dont want to put up with and well, lots of other things.

My main decision for this week, heehehee, is that I want to be around Healthy people. I’m not talking those health freaks that work out all the time either. I mean the normal people who are both mentally and physicall healthy. Since I am codependant, peoples moods, problems and stress rub off on me; I start becoming ‘them’, in a sense. So my choice is to be around people that will not rub off on me negatively. Every day I strive to be ME, but when I get around people who are constantly, and I mean constantly unhappy it totally brings me down. I cannot do that anymore. Happiness is so very important to me, and I dont want to be unhappy just because someone else is unhappy ! I want to happy cuz I am ME!

and ya know, I am pretty much happy the way I am. Well, of course the constant “need to loose weight” is there, but still, I am doing okay.

I was watching or listening to something the other day (cant remember), and this person was saying that they’d rather be Happy Alone, than Miserable with Someone that makes thier life suck. So thats where I stand today. Heck, I could change tomorrow, but today, this is good for me.

XO

Eyes

Post by: Chris on January 17th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I have contacts. However, I have not been to the Eye Doctor in two years! I really need to go. Anyways, I always have a spare pair of glasses and the Great Discovry: $ 8 Prescription Glasses From Zenni Optical sounds very nice! I use my glasses every day lounging around at home, and of course in the summer by the pool. They have tinted and sun sensor lens which would be very good at the pool, well, and skiing or course! I like these:

A Peek at MY Kitty

Post by: Chris on January 17th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things, Family, Pets

This is the strangest thing. I swear our kitties are related. This is our Rosey. She is a polydactyl; one extra toe on each foot. Check out my friend Leigh’s blog. Pretty neat, huh?

memories

Post by: Chris on January 16th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things, Family

I have this strange relationship to music. When I hear a song it can bring me right back to a memory from my past. This happened just this morning when I was driving to work. I heard “Dirty Laundry”. Not the lyrics, but it reminds me of a certain time in my past. I heard this song floating out of a Midshipmans window when I visited my first boyfriend out at the Naval Accademy. That was a wonderful trip. Blue skys, good friends, and very strong memories that will last me a lifetime.

Strangly enough, I got an email from him the other day. It was an interesting one to say the least. I replied back, in my quircky, strange and blunt way that I always do. However this time. he did not reply back. I think I scared him away. again. I tend to do that. on occation. well. okay. alot. But this is the way I am; blunt and to the point. Sometimes I wonder if I need a self assessment. I hope if he is reading this, he will reply back to me soon. XOXO
