Crayons, Playdoh & Wax

Man, this month did not start out well… first AF shows up, and early non the less and then we get this vomiting/runs messy thing that is going around. I just started feeling better today… sort of.

Took my SIL, Kelly to Denver this morning as she is going to see our cousin and do some work for a couple of days. She had to catch a flight, so I said I would take her to the airport. Stopped in Castle Rock to visit the Outlet Mall. My poor niece who decided to ride up to the airport with her Mom and I had to deal with me bra shopping. This is the one thing that does really stink about losing weight. I had to not only get refitted for a bra… but the store that I have been buying bras at for the last I don’t know how many years, doesn’t fit me anymore. (Oh darn ::grin::) Which means I am back over at Bali & Hanes I ended up getting the same size that was too big at the other store, but that is the differences in makers!! This is why on ‘What Not To Wear’ Stacy and Clinton always tell you, don’t look at the tag, try it on and see how it fits. They kept trying to get me in a bigger size with a smaller cup. It was the other way around. And it does look good if i do say so And I got 20% off being a frequent buyer member (apparently didn’t matter that I haven’t used it in a while… I still had the card!!!)

We are leaving for vacation next Tuesday. I was going to have my girlfriend drop us off at the airport, but then realized that would mean someone has to also pick us up… and not everyone is a night owl like we are. So, I am thinking that isn’t going to work. We opted to come home at like 11:30 at night. For us, no big deal driving home from Denver at midnight… but again, not everyone is us. 9 days in San Diego though is going to be fun. I will be sure to update Twitter if nothing else, so even if twitter doesn’t update here like it is supposed to…. come and check the box… or better yet, click on it and tell it to follow me!!! You don’t have to have a blog to have a twitter!!! (and as you can tell, I update it from my phone a whole lot… thus the typos thanks to T9 and text messaging!!!)

Ok, Off to do something productive. Yesterday I felt horrible and did nothing all day except play on the Wii…. and I am paying for it today. I am so sore, between boxing (still undefeated thank you… no one will box against me, so I have to beat the computer now… I beat Ken and K badly and they won’t play) and then tennis, bowling and golf!!! It was fun!!! I did actually break a sweat with the boxing though!!! I use it for a workout… and it is good!!!!

This morning they were giving away another 2 year lease on a huyndai sonata from the radio station. I went alone, hung out and waited. They draw 10 numbers of people who get to get a key and win a chance to start the car. Not only did they pick my number, I picked #10, which is my number. (there was actually 11 numbers this time cuz they gave 1 person who didn’t qualify the chance to win as well) So we go through all this and they go through all the people. We are down to number 8 in the car, and just me 9 & 11 waiting and 8 doesn’t start the car. I am shaking so bad at this point. The 3 of us do a big group hug and #9 gets in the car… and I wait… and it starts. I so can’t believe I got that close. Ken was sure I was going to be disappointed because I got so close. I was just on such an adrenaline high, that I was just happy for her. I knew that if I won, God had a reason!!

Well, I very nicely set it up that my blog would upload my twitter stuff as entries and it is supposed to check multiple times a day. Today I was at SimplyMac and saw that my blog hasn’t been updated since June 2. Wow, that is a lot of stuff that hasn’t been put on here. No wonder no one comes to read this anymore.

Well the coolest thing is that we have money this month. We got 2 new tv’s with surround sound for both. K likes to laugh that the tv in the family room is bigger than she is. At Genetics this past month, they measured her at 51.5 inches. We told her we would get her new shoes before going to Elitch’s again, cuz you have to be 52 inches for most of the roller coasters. We got a 52 inch Samsung 750 in the family room and a 42 inch Vizio in the bedroom Everyone keeps asking why we got such a big tv in the bedroom, I said, so I can see it without my glasses.

Ken got his Jeep. it is a 1990 jeep wrangler. He loves it and even went to the car club group from Compassion. He changed the oil, spark plugs and belts. and he wants to join 4 wheel club here in town. I just laugh and remind him that the trip will probably include camping (which is just fine for me, but he isn’t into that much!!!)

And the best part, today, he bought me a new iMac!!! I got a 24 inch, and this thing it huge!! I can’t put it in my desk cuz it is too big, but I won’t take my hutch off, so it is sitting in front of the old monitor I will put a picture on flickr!!! And the best part… I didn’t have to lose all my settings and files and stuff off the old one… all I had to do was connect with a firewire and it transfered everything for me!!! Not even my email rules!! I tell you, the more I learn about Apple, the more I can’t believe how long it took me to switch. When I found out about the parental controls, that was what had me sold. K can’t go to a website or get or send an email from someone I don’t know about without me knowing!! I LOVE it! Every one who has kids should get a Mac.

I do still find a few websites that don’t support Mac. Like when we signed up for our car insurance, you had to have IE. I just called them, told them they were stupid and to mail me the papers (ok, I didn’t say they were stupid, but I did tell them that there are enough of us out here that use Mac, that they need to get past this MUST have IE crap!!!)

We also got me a Nintendo DS and a Wii, finally. It was late for Father’s Day, but he says with it being more for the family, it doesn’t count anyway!! I think I am going to plan to do something else as well. We were going to go on an Alaskan Cruise this summer, but we decided that we don’t want to spend that much money on something that we don’t know if we will enjoy. I have always done fine on water, but since I actually get motion sick SNOW SKIING, I think our plan is better. We are just going to go on a family vacation this next month and go to Sea World and such. In October we booked a 3 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera on one of K’s long weekends. If we like it, then in December or so, we will put down a deposit on an Alaskan Cruise for next summer where we are able to schedule that first and work around everything else. This summer was just too hard trying to work around GS camp and all that other stuff. Anyway, I am very excited about all of this stuff… and K’s passport is on the way anyway so we are good!!!

Hopefully now that I have this wonderful new computer, I will be updating more!!! (now to get use to this wonderful new thin little keyboard!!)

This is why I love hockey! They are going to a second overtime for game 5! As much as I dislike the deadthings, they are playing amazing … but so is Furey!!

This is the importance of insurance. We picked up 5 Rx last week. Today I went to got 2 more and get a refund since our cobra finally kicked in. Even with 2 new copays we still got back $88

Going for an afternoon ride in the new jeep. Ken was even looking into 4 wheel drive clubs and the dog even got to come!

I am at a wedding in Denver… And Ken just bought a Jeep!

An evening with Girl Scouts… hopefully they will at least go to bed at a decent time!!!

Yup, made dh mad. Oh well, the sermon was really good and all about s*x it is the Song of Solomon! And then I see the deadthings are losing. Great Night!

I’m excited to here the sermon from Sunday. I heard it was really good. Just wish they could put the whole thing on the web. Copyright law
