I have got to admit, I envy those of you living outside the US sometimes. Today I am just not loving our consumer driven corporate America. There are just too many greedy people out there looking to use one another to get ahead in life, this leaves the rest of us going without and struggling. […]

What is with snakes these days?
Over mothers day weekend there was this snake I almost stepped on that scared the crap out of me. Then last night I dream that I am walking the desert, on a hike, when I spot a snake. Then I see another, and another… The trail is crawling with snakes literally, Rattle snakes to be […]
Trying to find a plan C but so glad to be home!
I am happy to say that I am writing this post from the kitchen table of my home! Yesterday we booked a rental car to get us home, we left our car with the mechanic near my mom’s house. Before we took off yesterday the mechanic said that he thought the engine was shot in […]

I am home, woho!
Last night we got back to town at 1am. Our time on the party bus officially had ended! It was an interesting time. The party bus was so cool but not conductive to an 8 hour drive, things were a bit tight and uncomfortable but it made for some great memories. We had a great […]
Heading home! Boy I am pooped!
After spending 12 hours in Disneyland yesterday I am just not motivated to do anything today! Unfortunately we are heading back to Disneyland for the band kids performance and then we will have 4 hours for shopping or ride riding before we load our bus and head home. We road to California in this tricked […]
More anticipation….
Lets see I had Monday off from teaching for memorial day but had to show the house to a bunch of inspectors. I teach my class tomorrow and will perform with my students Wednesday night in a hip-hop routine that is a bit out of my comfort zone. N also leaves for Evansville Wednesday so […]
Reflections on past memorial day weekends and anticipation.
A few years ago on memorial day weekend I almost lost my life. A mechanic that worked on our car used zip ties to put it back together and surprisingly they came loose while I was driving home from my mothers house. It was a rough weekend that almost changed my life but I was […]
Apparentally my hormones got the best of me today!
While N and I were grocery shopping and running various errands I was behaving badly and didnt even know it! We picked a bad day to go grocery shopping, everyone else was out doing the same thing! This means craziness in the isles. Shoppers are chowing down at sample tables like they are a feeding […]
Baby chicks, a video!
For mothers day weekend I visited my mom and got to enjoy all the baby chickens she had hatched. I also got to see one hatching! My mom got a nifty little video camera for her birthday/ mothers day and since then I have been twisting her arm about starting a blog. Today she finally […]

I gained some weight & almost got creamed by a crazy!
I have some good news to share! My bathroom scale read 103 last night, which means I weigh about 108 now! Looks like I have successfully gained some weight since seeing my lady doctor in April. My cycles are not improved yet and I suspect my period is on the way but I am going […]
3 months to go till we move, again!
Last week was the first week of being forced to showed our current rental home. The owners decided to put it back on the market 3 months into our 6 month lease. So, I was home last Friday when this Native American couple came with their agent to tour the home. The showing was fairly […]
The earth is cooking me!
Good lord it is hot here! Last night it was about 80 degrees inside our home (from the days heat) and about 60 degrees outdoors at 10 pm! A 60 degree night time high is considered quite WARM here and we were baking. We went through the storage shed and dug out the fans, set […]
I am just not cut out for bars anymore!
Yesterday N and I went out with many of his work friends to celebrate a bunch of things all at once. One employee was leaving the company and two others just had birthdays, so we went out for Thai food and a few drinks at the bar. Thai food was okay, I had never tried […]
A pretty puzzle for ya!
Create your own puzzles at PuzzleBee.com! Just a pretty photo I snapped of my blue girl rose bush the day it snowed, May 2008.
Again I am experencing the infamous 2 week wait…
Pardon this random thoughts blog post, I am forced to stay off my foot (I banged up my left ankle and need to keep it elevated and iced) so I am forced to sit here over thinking stuff. My over thinking goes hand in hand with my writing so that has resulted in me blabbing […]
The Pet Peeve Meme…
While I was making my peanut butter and honey toast this morning I looked in the sink and my blood started to curdle. Right there in the freaking sink the dish scrubber was chillin, this is a BIG no-no in my kitchen! The sink is the dirtiest place ever, food gets dumped in it and […]
Mothers day weekend – part 2, snakes, oh my!
Several years back we got my mom these two chicks. They were a mothers day/ birthday gift (her birthday is very close to mothers day) and she was so surprised. Turns out we got her silkies (a specific breed of chicken), a male and female. Years later she has a whole bunch of chickens. Her […]
Snow in may, what is going on? and Mothers day weekend – part 1
Well, I awoke this morning to lots of fluffy white stuff falling and covering everything. We were foretasted for some thunderstorms last night and today. The possibility of snow was mentioned but no accumulation was expected. Here that means the snow melts as soon as it hits the ground. Doesn’t look like that is the […]
