Winter Wonderland 12-10-08
I just Love the beauty of new snow. We got about a foot today and its still coming down strong. Roads were crazy but, it didn't keep anybody home.
Yesterday I went out to Laura's place. We went ice skating with Mary, it was alot of fun; Although my legs would be telling you a different story. *grins* My feet didn't really hurt it was mostly my left leg and right hip. ( My riding accident still causes me a little trouble, nothing to complain about really. It just lets me know it there more frequently than i would like.
After skating for a few hours we all went out to eat at Toco Bell.. (I haven't been there or out to eat in forever). We finished just before the closed the lobby. After that we went shopping at WalMart. I think we spent almost two hours, just walking around the store. Mary and Laura played the mini guitar hero . LOL it was so funny to watch them play this little hand held device. By the time we left WalMart it was around midnight, our cars were covered with more than 3 inches of snow. burrr After going back to Laura's she and I watched the Bucket List. Its a pretty good movie. Laura and I have decided to create one for ourselves. * We really need to get to that Laura* We stayed up till after 3am and then got up around 11:30 am. I didn't have grooming but I did have a therapy appointment to do. I had a good "weekend".
A few weeks ago I put a ad on cragslist for trigger point therapy, I've been getting lots of calls. I have to answer my phone like a business now anytime I don't know the number. I have needed the extra money, one cause grooming hasn't been making anything. two cause I'm still spending money like i have it.. ( bad habit) * I'm not creating debt but I am eating my savings!*
Its been over a month since I last wrote anything, and I can't think of a bunch that has really happened. Dad is still healing, he is back to work. He isn't doing full duty stuff yet. We were all hoping that he would have healed much quicker than he has. *sigh* just have to take everything one step at a time. Mom painted the downstairs wall so now the dance room is really almost done with finishing touches. Mom has rearranged most all the bedrooms and the front room. They look ok, I'm still adjusting to them. Since dad has not wanted to redo the kitchen and the bed and breakfast opens in less than 30 days. Mom highered a contractor to finish the pantry and kitchen floor. I think it is good cause dad now doesn't have to deal with it. * not really sure how he feel about it, He's been pretty negative about it all from day one, so who knows what he really thinks.
Since dad has gone back to work just before thanksgiving, we havent been able to swim as much. We do still go about 3 or 4 times a week. (depends whats going on and everybody's moods).
Thanksgiving was really great. we have the Bushee's, Slaters and us total of 13 people. It was a awesome day we played games, ate food and just hung out. It was nice to get to know Brian's family more. I like them they are down to earth people who are alot like us.
I dyed Echoa midnight blue the 23rd of Nov. She is so blue people think she is purple.
I'm so annoyed with her hair, I didn't dye her for 7 months get pure white. I was hoping she would stop chewing herself bald. hasn't worked that way though. She is more baled and more itchy ever before when she is or isn't colored. I just can't win!! I end up with the most unhealthy animals!! April had been so sick!!!! she got sick all over one of the B&B rooms!!! like everywhere!! * we didn't find it till we were showing the house!! (dumb cat) it was and i let her embarrassing.
Grooming was slow all of Oct and Nov, but it has picked up in Dec Thank God!. I was looking for another job to make ends meet!! Therapy is covering it for now. but its still hard.. I was crazy and bought a xbox 360 with guitar hero II from my sister and brother in-law. I love playing it and like having a cordless controller. It was a great price for everything I got. I am glad in that since, but still kicking myself for getting it when finances are so tight. :D leave it to me to buy on a whim... *grins I don't think I'll ever change*
I have finally finished sorting all my movies! I have them arranged by type (action, drama,kids, romance) stuff like that.. then I have them sorted by alphabetical, with a colored sticker and first letter of title. *good for putting away correctly* then all my movies that have sequels are sorted the same way but have a line added onto their sticker therefore putting it in a different location. So far its working great!! I am able to find what ever movie I happen to be looking for. After I finished that project, I did my cd's I added all my cd music onto my computer and I also made copied onto a disk that will hold 14 full cds. (less cd mess in my car and not very much changing them, since my car holds 6 at once anyway) I still listen to alot of audio books at work or driving. I can download them onto my phone and listen to it like a mp3, its so awesome to be reading and working at the same time. I do still read a couple regular books a week, so I still get my quality sit down and read time.
This last week was so busy that I didn't get to watch any of my shows! gurr.. now i'm behind. Mom decided that it was time I moved in! lol she went through all my boxes that I had stored downstairs. I got ride of some stuff and kept my favorite things packed. I went through all my paperwork and threw away a whole trash can of papers I don't need anymore. All my christian or good moral books were added to the library, and all my secular books added to my room collection. With all the stuff unpacked, I need more room in my room! :P My king size bed is giving up to the ghost. It is in bad condition! we are going to buy a new matress for it and then I will get a full or queen size bed insead of this monster of a bed. I only use a corner of it anyway!
Debbie finally picked out adn bought her wedding dress! I love it!! its so pretty and look really great on her. Key and I need to get our dresses ordered but it so hard to really find one we like.. We were joking the other day about becoming clothes desiners. Then we wont have to worry about finding something to wear that we didn't really like. Ada is due to have her baby in 16 days i can't believe its really only a little over two weeks away! I am so excitted! I am sad I can't really be there in the beginning. I think a later visit will be better anyway.
I'm tired so I'm closing this entry. Take Care and God Bless. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Dream Sweet ~jewls~
