I could SOOO take you....!!!

Ya that's right. Ya'll think your so fast in your little Honda Accords and your Ford F150s and those Dodge Caravans. You've even tried it in your Pontiac G6s. You tailgate me....like you've got someplace to go!! PSH!!! You can't handle what I got!!! I have been through rigorous training. Classes that are no longer available from a man with a a background in high speed, fast lane changes, and stunningly good looks!! ( i know that last one doesnt relate to my skills but it helped with the training!!) I can go from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds all while changing radio stations, handing the boy a snack and perhaps making a phone call!! No im not a bad driver. I've just had to many people get too close to me on the road. if i see necessary i will take evasive action!!

So if you think your going to tailgate me for five miles and then decide to go around me and go two miles an hour faster then me so i get stuck behind the big ol semi truck and have to change lanes and get stuck behind your butt...? You've got another thing coming!! And dont think your snotty glare or hand signals are going to deter me...cause you cant touch me!!

Oh and I'll make sure I wave to ya as I go by...so go ahead give me that you-gotta-be-kidding-me look. Its not going to stop me.

March Madness!!

Waa haa haaa!! no im just kidding! This isnt some event or sale its my life! For real this is what i am up against the month of march! If i make it out alive.....

March it seems so innocent....when you look at in on a calender...you think spring yes calming winds, sparse clouds, sunny sunshine, budding trees....and lady bugs. (oh ya i KNOW you've been thinking about those!) And then BAM! there are scribbles and markings all over your march and you think to yourself where did the calming relaxing march i had planned go?

AAAHHH!! its outrageous! I have been robbed maybe even bamboozled!! It all started when mr. wonderful said (in january) 'hey lets take a trip to Colorado' and i was like really? sA-WEET!! and the plans where in motion!! Dates where picked! Research was being done. Locations where picked. BUT THEN mr. wonderful lost the funds in some freak accident where he foR-GOT that he had to pay rent! so the trip was off. mr. wonderful said 'im pretty sure i can still swing it.' so the trip was on! WOO-HOO! AND THEN he fell down snowboarding bumped his head and we spent four hours in the er. so the trip was off. no snowboarding for three weeks. didnt want head bashing to happen 1300 miles from home......BUT THEN mr. wonderful had some techniques he learned way back when that include convincing stories, puppy dog eyes, pictures, and chocolate, along with a few illustrations. so the trip was on. FOR SURE.

Yeee-HAW!!

So with three weeks till the estimated date (last wends) i had some serious planning to do. So i set up sitters for the boy and the dog and packed and cleaned....(between the dog the boy and us two there was a total of four suitcases, a mattress, bedding included, three toy bins, and a truck loaded with a kennel and a dog house in it) ya i was busy!! ON TOP of that there was hair appointments, conferences, dinner to make, plans with other family members, and bills to pay.

So i successfully got everyone packed and dropped off at there specific destinations for five days. yes the trip was for five days three days spent driving there and back.

It was great the break we needed.....but then i had to come back. Everyone arrived back at home along with all of their belongings. I had a whole living room filled with stuff! Toys, clothes, snowboards, food, mattresses. It was a mess!! so i dove right in! i had 45 minutes to get my living room cleared out because we still had to pick up the dog!! EEEKKK!! so i got the majority put away and threw most everything in the laundry room!! Its wends...and i can finally see the laundry room floor!! Its great we have clean laundry and the house is almost back in order....not like it matters!!

BECAUSE>>>>>

Yesterday i spent the day running to the dentist (the boy has cavities) (and i dont know how many more then i had at that age), cleaning out the car, washing the mats, getting food stuffs, and then moving rooms around. a close friend of ours (more like brother in our family!) :) decided after all the raving about how being single is "SO AWESOME" he would get a girl friend.

(nothing against her shes great, cute little thing, gonna make a man out him...thats for sure)

BUT guess who shes staying with? oh ya. and we dont have a guest room par-say. So im moving EVERYTHING out of the office into the art room (which is half the size of the office) the closet is filled almost to the ceiling!! (with mr. wonderful junk of course) i have until next..what? monday? tuesday? whatever day it is..its STILL NOT ENOUGH TIME!!! We've only had mr. wonderful's family ever stay with us when they were in town and at that time we had bedrooms set up for this....but we dont have guest enough to have a "guest room" So this is like a huge deal at our place. This weekend is the big turn over! House is getting scrubbed down, rooms are getting set up and new furniture is going to be bought. Yay new furniture!! we still havent gotten a kitchen table and we NEED a new couch...so on top of everything else we have to assemble furniture!! Its my weekend with my sister too, hope she knows how to use a screwdriver!! oh and pillows we are in need of pillows and bedding!!

(its a shame because ive wanted a new couch for two years now and i cant even get excited about it!! AAGGHH!!

When i said MARCH MADNESS!

i WASNT kidding!!!

I'm Back!!

Greetings Friends!!

Its monday and I'm back here at work. No more vacation. We were so glad to get home...it was a long drive!! Most of vacation was spent inside a truck behind the wheel. Still was super fun!! I will share some highlights with you!!

Wednesday Night was wonderful because mr. wonderful was so tired so it was my turn to drive thus my music. I happened to have my ipod on shuffle. What song should come on but some Enrique Iglesias (from back in the day) song. Oh ya! I would have changed it but mr. wonderful looks at me and says: "oh ya this is my song!". (he was kidding of course) But the rest is history. I sat there for the longest three minutes ever listening to mr. wonderful hit all the high notes and shatter my eardrums! I never laughed so hard in my life!!

Thursday i slept in a down comforter mattress that is THE best mattress ever by-the-way. Oh and much better then the brick im sleeping on at home.

Friday there was high winds so we hit downtown...bought some stuff we didn't need! Headed out for dinner but instead got into a fight with mr. wonderful. Yup. Fighting on vacation. I guess thats what married people do on vacation. too much time together and all that love and BAM! you get left downtown all alone... Yup. mr. wonderful drove off and left me alone downtown! Super!!

Saturday was filled with shredding up the mountain! Serious carve-age!! It was awesome!! I love being up there. There is nothing in the world like it. Its so beautiful and peaceful and its you and your board. And the sound your board makes while your carving...second best sound in the world. (aside from a blow off valve of course, so HOT!!)

Sunday was a loooonnnnngggg day!! Lots of driving and more weird-ness from mr. wonderful. He never fails to reassure you how normal you really are!! Followed by the reunited of the family. The boy was waiting for us...totally blew us off....like we were nothing!! TURD!!! Picked up the dog...he was more excited then the boy! and have been getting lectured by the cat ever since i got back...he had everything he needed he just wants to let me know how upset he is with us leaving and not checking in with him first!!

While its good to be back...im not sure im ready for spring now! I'll gladly take the snow back! I know you think im crazy but if i could be attached to my board for a whole week straight on a mountain i would so be there!! I guess ill just get over it and look for summer, ya im jumping to summer! Forget spring! Look Out Beach! HERE I COME!!


See All of You Soon!!

Stranded on Vacation!

Hey there my friends,

Vacation is not overrated. I recommend it to everyone!! Try it for a weekend or just a day! But defiantly get out there!!!

We are having a great time on the other side of the valley. We arrived yesterday at nine in the morning!! We made great time, but we were so bushed! Had a little breakfast and then went for some sight seeing that turned into a little back country. Best way to snowboard. Period. After was good quality nap-age. oh ya nap-age. Followed by a trip downtown. They have the cutest little downtown area and whats better is free bus transit all over town. Today was SUPPOSE to be a day of full fledged snowboarding on the mountian BUT due to seriously high winds the resort shut it down. TOTAL BUMMER!! So tomorrow is all reserved for snowboarding. Followed by the long drive back to the other side of the valley.

There is a few more pics in the side bar so check em out!

Fair well until then my friends!!

Shout Out!!

This is a shout out to my best peep ever.

Pink Sweater Buddy Feel Better!!

Much Love
FINALLY!!!

1. The sun is shining

Seems like ages since we've seen it but rest assured friends its only been six or seven days!!! Its great! Its grand! We've been waiting for it and its here!

Finally!!

2. The Rain has stopped!!

My gutter is broken. Previous renters ran into it with some gargantuan pole of some sort so there is a big inward dent in my gutter. Right before you get to the sidewalk. So this past week it has been coming out of this area instead of on the side of my house. Dripping and leaking and everything. So THANK GOODNESS the rain has stopped!!

Finally!!


3. The Ice has melted.

Because of my awesome gutter situation, when the temperatures first rose to above thirty degrees we had a slow leak, and every night it froze over. And because we never had salt or went to get any, eventually we had this enormous ice skating rank in front of our sidewalk. Great if you have skates. But for the rest of us it was a death trap. But we got salt and fifty degree weather and it all melted away!

Finally!!!

4. Taken a Vacation.

That's right vacation. Much deserved might I add. I haven't had a vacation for over three years!! THREE YEARS!!! A vacation from the house, the car, the dog, that cat, the boy, and work. Oh ya I am all for vacation!

Finally!! Finally! Finally!!

So Irritating!!!

To My Peeps:

This particular entry is a bit of venting mixed in with a few rhetorical questions. Whether you feel the same way or not it doesn't matter. I just feel better writing about it!!

1. Horrible Women Drivers

Thats right I said it. Some women are horrible drivers and they all seem to get right in front of me. Its starts like this: Im in a two way two lane road that is going to turn into two way one lane road in about a quarter of a mile. The lady next to me just maintains her speed but we both know that she planning to merge. In front of me. But she refuses to speed up-until the last minute. So she floors it and veers over almost clipping my front end. Not using her blinker and then she slams on the brakes. Yay, that was fun. And now she is glaring at me in her rear-view mirror because suddenly I'm tail-gating her.

2. Horrible Women Drivers in Vehicles They Either Dont Know How To Use and Certianly Dont Need.

This is the one with those women whos husbands get them an suv or a truck because hey we live in Minnesota. News Flash: This is not going to keep them out of the ditch if they cant drive in the first place. Yes its super irritating. Two reasons: First, when its snowing they drive like they normally do, thinking 'well i have four wheel drive im just fine' and then BAM-in the ditch. Second, they drive the suv or truck like its a sedan! Come on girls! We do not need to come to a complete stop to make a turn. (after you've had your blinker on for a quarter of a mile and have been going twenty miles and hour) Its a truck drive it like you stole it! Believe me it can take it. Run over that curb. Your man is not going to mad at you because you ran over the curb in the truck. I promise you. And for the suv...come on its at least four feet off of the ground. Drive that thing!!!

3. The Slow Lane

Why is it even there if people are going to go slow in the fast lane? We all know its there so what we just drive slow in a different lane intentionally to irritate everyone else? Well Done- Mission accomplished.

4. Kids at a Restaurant

Now dont get me wrong i have no problem with kids. I have a few of my own. Here are the issues: When I go out to eat I don't want to hear your kid screaming for five, ten minutes on end. Excuse yourself and take care of the issue. We don't all have to be miserable because little johnny doesn't get to play with the salt and pepper shakers. You a parent you should know what it takes to bring your child out to dinner and if you don't well then you shouldn't be bringing him out expecting your waiter to entertain him. That's not how it works. Next issue, because your in a restaurant does not mean that it is everyone else responsibility to take care of your kid. They should not be running around in the aisles, laying on the floor, and looking into my booth and throwing things into my lap. Their your children, your obligated to take care of them. And if that's what's expected then don't get all offended when I do tell your kid to turn around and knock it off.

5. Dogs Barking at Nothing at 10 p.m.

It just shouldn't be happening. Period.

6. Kids Who Think They Know Everything.

Oh ya you know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that are living at home still, have never had a checking account, and think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter. Yup those are the ones. They are just sssoooooo irritated when THEY have to go grocery shopping, its not like their going to eat the food. Or THEY cant borrow the fancy sports car, because they pay insurance and have had their license for two WHOLE days. And the ones that roll their eyes because you tell them how it is, HELLO they know everything, remember? how dare you tell them why it the way it is...Shesh.


Those are the most irritating things of my daily life. I know. I know. Its life. Deal with it. And I do. But it just felt better getting it out there. Thanks for listening. Your the best!!

Next time Friends.....
