Hubs new Toy.

This is the view I get from my back yard. They are not clear but they are some really, pretty and peaceful mountains. Wish you all could come and BBQ with us in our new back yard. Below is a pic of my hubs with his new weekend pass time. Thank goodness he's learning to cook.

Woo woo! Love that Butt!

This is my hubs. And this is our new BBQ grill. We decided to make chicken and beef shishkabobs and grilled home made garlic bread, mmmmmmmmmm. He did a very good job for his first time alone cooking.

I'll be going away for a few months this summer and this is how he's going to be cooking, I figure we better start teaching him how now.... so that way we'll be really prepaired for the future.

Please notice that we have bought the Craftsmen bbq set so that it can keep with his "tool" theme.

I must really really really love him. I'm so proud of him. I know I don't say it enough but he reads this and he'll get a kick out of these pictures.

More to come.... dum dum dum....

Why do we do this to our Brains?

Friday, February 24, 2006

It's Friday. My sorta freeday. I don't have classes today so I sleep in about 45 mins get up eat a little breakfast and start in on rotting my brain with the morning talk show racket. This consist of "That ain't my baby." To " You slept with my brother." After about 15 mins I feel my brain liquify and ooze out of me ear on to my shoulder.

The phone will ring it'll break my concentration and I'm off to checking my email and catching up my blog reading. I mindlessly flip through channels and realize I have XM radio which I'll flip on and be content for the rest of the day. It's good to do mindless hours of homework too.

Speaking of which I should head off and get done. Have a good Friday.

This is different than my normal post.

Normally I try to keep things light and airy. Today I've got a lot on my mind. I'm finally admitting to myself I'm a full fledge Diabetic. I've known for quite sometime, and I'd put it out of my mind, pretty much been in denial. I did really well in the beginning. I lost weight I watched my diet. I checked my gluclose levels. I did everything a good little diabetic was to do.

Then one day someone that didn't even know me... .Highly pissed me off. All my hard work and effort flew out the window and I haven't given a rats ass about my health since. My husband has been a great supporter of any decision I make. He tells me he has faith in me and everything positive, but nothing changes. I thought finding out I was a diabetic shortly after my father died from it would've been my wakeup call. Finding out if I didn't change I'd have to shoot myself up with needles that I'm deathly afraid of would keep me on track but it didn't.

Watching my friend getting ready to lose her eyesight....It didn't. Watching others go through some of the most horrible things from not controlling their sugar intake would make me change.

I had 2 conversations last night, one with a girl that wants to lose weight and not become diabetic like her father who died from it when she was 8. Another with a woman who's had diabetes for 15 years and just wants to do what she wants to do cause it's more of a rebellious thing. This from a woman whose gone into coma from spiking sugar levels and can't walk properly. She started telling me about what happened when she would go into ketosis (sp)her kidneys start to shut down, and all her symptoms.

Last night it happened. I asked for a wake up call and I think I got it. 2 Hours after I went to sleep I woke up with my stomach feeling really weird. I hadn't eaten in about 6 hours .... So everything should've been digested. Lets put it this way it wasn't and I was sick as a dog. That's putting it mildly. Other thanks are happening to me as well. So here I am realizing a disease I can control is killing me. My levels are out of wack and I'm a mental wreck over the whole thing.

This is one of the hardest things I've had to do. I know it's going to be a struggle but no one can do this but me right? I mean I'm it. I choose my own destiny and I have to chose to live and live healthy and stop being scared and paranoid.

Here it is folks... I've finally put myself out there.

Saturday, February 18, 2006

I sooo forgot to tell you what are new pink friends name was yesterday!

Fred, Fred the Florida Flamingo.

Let me tell you how 3F (get it... fred florida flamingo) came into our lives yesterday.

I'm in a 35mm photography class which required me to take pictures with themes... well my theme this week was "American Bandstand" and how music has shapped todays youth..blah blah blah... so I'm traditionalist I wanted a guy with tatoo's and a guitar and the woods/park with tree's type area....

Wouldn't you know it everytime I wanted to go to the park it freakin rains... it never rains here only during monsoon and thats nothing more than a Florida afternoon thunderstorm. Well anywho he had to come to my house (good thing military had a 4 day weekend and hubs was home) because I had never met this guy in person only on myspace.com and well I took my chances.... (call me crazy it's been 4 years 5 months18 days since I've last met someone from the internet) So 2 MP's (yep thats ARMY lingo) show up come in and are very nice sweet and not bad to look at I might add. (sorry hubs)

I start snappen pictures some digital some 35mm (I'm taking both classes right now) and just under 2 hours into it almost finished... a knock at the door.... it was my friendly UPS guy :) hubs says hey did you order something? I say no, I didn't .... he rips open the box in the other room I hear.. What the..... and everyone bust out laughing. I couldn't see right away then I see a pink head peek around the corner.... and guess who-

It's Fred! He had a name with in 2 mins I think. So my new friends where a bit confused and I told them how I wanted nothing more than my pink flamingo and my friend got it for me. YaY!

Thats the story of fred..... (oh yea and some of the digital pics came out good too) Today I'm going to develope in the dark room... lets hope all goes well there.

"Just call me butter baby, cause I'm on a roll!"

I'm surfing the net cause my Calculus class was cancelled due to one of those "Teacher Days" I think someone wanted to use "Teacher Day" as a way of getting out of day classes on V-day!

I came across the above saying and I absofreakinlutly love it!

(That and a few of you didn't like being called Hooker back in the day.)

Which brings me to thoughts of your momma jokes and childish put downs. Which once your laughing you can't stop.

Last semester I was taking College Algebra and there was a guy in my class that had a very heavy Hungarian accent (I sware to you he sounded just like the Terminator) he was stating that one of his co-workers put up her hand and said to him.

"I'm giving you my left, cause you aint right." I about died laughing right there ... him saying that with his accent was way to funny. What made it funnier whats he didn't understand what it ment. So then with out missing abeat I look right at him and say...

"Stop buying Magazines "Andy" you have enough issues." Again the group was in laughter people coming up with all sorts of sayings and such. I just thought I'd share. Now I thought I'd add one more thing:

How come when you mix water and flour together you get glue?

..and then you add eggsand sugar...and you get cake?

Where did the glue go?

NEED AN ANSWER?
You know darned well where it went!

That's what makes the cake Stick to your BUTT!

Happy Valentines Day

There once was a time my husband was a slight romantic guy.
(Probably just trying to get sex out of me)

I used to get cards and stuffed animals and notes...
(again had to be sex)

Being we just moved into our new home that we had built I didn't really want anything for valentines day even though I'd joke about. Last year he bought me a card and pasted candy heart messages in it to tell me he loved me. (Quite inventive) I really didn't think he'd top that.

I don't know if I ever mentioned if hubs was taking a welding class on here, but he is. He made me a vase out of metal and bought some flower/candle thingys my candle lady/friend makes, it was the sweetest thing ever and he engraved the metal vase. (Absolutely Classic)

Hope you're Valentines Day is just as sweet.

You are a Self-Discoverer

You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality.Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine.You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion.You especially dislike religious gurus and leaders, who you feel are charlatans.

What's" Your Religious Philosophy?

R O C K S vs flamingo

OH Where OH Where do I begin...

As you know I've been trying to get settled in the new house. The way it works around here is you get a basic front yard then you have to go and find things you would like for your front yard. (Pretty basic this is how it normally works right?)

I wanted a plastic pink Flamingo... I would've been very very very happy with a plastic pink flamingo..... I seriously wanted this flamingo.... guess what ..... I couldn't find a flamingo. (I like typing the word flamingo :) )

Hubs has been on leave for 2 weeks... he gets easily distracted, and or entertained (depends on how you look at it) He on the other hand ... really wanted some really big Rocks for the front yard, and living in the desert type mountain area that we do.... you can get them free or you can pay for them ... but being you can get them free it's quite silly to pay for them.... or so I thought.

Minding my own business doing my Pre-calculus College homework and a photography project at the same time he runs into the office and says.... "Oh man did you see that huge pile of rocks out there?" Now to let you know the builder is still building more houses and well they are clearing land and having to move what would end up being very expensive rock later on but for the moment they are free. (Or we like to think.)

He squirming like a kid in a candy store really wanting to drag me out there to see what the hell is going on, I tell him go on and say you have the 4 x 4 let me do my homework and if you see something come back and get me. Huge mistake on my part.

Not 10 mins later he's back in the house, trying to get me to go back there with him cause apparently Baby Jesus himself has been embedded into a rock and that's the one he has to have. Reluctantly we go, I had a really bad feeling about me going back there. I just felt really off. I even told him so he assured me that everything would be ok.

We get there....

There are soooooo many rocks. (Still thinking about my Plastic Pink Flamingo.)

There it is ... the Baby Jesus Rock. It has to be 300 pounds. "Are you kidding me? You think I help you lift it? We can't even roll it!" Watching him was like watching a lone ant try to carry a slice of bread off a picnic blanket.

A few mins later I'm walking around just looking and picking out a few small ones.... I take a step and l o s e my bALancE I stepped on an oddly shaped rock about the size of a golf ball I didn't see cause I had another rock in my hands. Down I go. Almost slamming my head into the 300 lb + Baby Jesus Rock... Luckily I saw it coming I turned my body and hit it with my back, I've torn, something in my foot. O M G I'm going to died. (Not really but for a brief moment I wanted to kill hubs)

I had a bad feeling in the beginning ... I've learned to listen to that little voice. 2 1/2 days laid up. It's getting better. Aleve is my friend. (and I've almost caught up on my homework)

And all he could say was, "I'm sorry you didn't watch what you were doing and you made yourself fall down." oh yea you guessed it folks, I about lost my ever loving mind. I didn't want to go out there in the first place. I was the one that said I had a bad feeling something was going to happen. I truly believe in Karma..... but yet... this was solely and completely my fault. Yep. Personally if you can't just give an apology and don't know a damn thing about empathy. I suggest you don't give back handed ones. That's just me.

I still want my Plastic Pink Flamingo!!!!!!

But as you can see I found something pretty close and it makes noise. :)

Good Deed of the Day...

Sunday, February 05, 2006

Well kiddies I'm all moved in. I have been in the process of trying to play catch up on my school work and unpack.

I finally got to pick up my brand new Bike. Woohoo. This is how my day went on Friday.

Friday wake up 0715 (15 mins before alarm) Sun shinning right into my eyes... don't have curtains in the back of the house yet .... jump in shower be first in line to get Oil Change.

Hubs finally wakes up, around 8ish. Complains that he's hungry, relizing wont be first in line for oil change now decided to just get dressed go get breakfast. McD's here I come!

10:00 am at oil change place, tell them about small leak and that it could be loose oil plug, they state will check it out. (Now that I've dripped oil on my brand freakin new drive way now I'm pissed.) Informed leak was indeed loose oil plug.

While in waiting area Maury Povich was on TV with "That aint my baby, What ever What ever I do what I want." Brain cells fall on to floor. Get vehicle and we're off to go grocery shoping.

Only a few more items to get heading towards milk and dairy area in back of store, woman frantically pacing loudly says, "someone help me I'm going to have a seizzure, please help me walk so I can breath and calm down." I grab woman with another man and start to walk with her and rub her back she says to call her husband (the one day I leave my phone in the car) Everyone freezes I look up to tell my husband to go get help and get someone to call 911. He takes off. The woman looks at me and says she's sorry and she' s going to start screaming cause it's going to start to hurt any second. Oh man did she ever start screaming, her knees buckle and all 3 of us start to slowly get on the floor. People are screaming for medics or a nurse. Finally a lady that is shopping who is a nurse comes back there. We call the ladies husband and he shows up, the paramedics show up and by then the lady is fine she pulled out of it and left the store. Had to give statement to store and to MP's. Grabbed shopping cart and left I couldn't even finish my shopping.

Went home baked cake and took an hour nap.

Decided hey lets hook up the trailer and go finally get those bikes we had built. So we're off it's about 4:30pm driving down the street the traffic is starting to back up. (This is a small town even on it's busiest days traffic doesn't back up) A motorcycle has gone down the guy is under his bike but he's leaning up and talking paramedics pull up he's ok we had to take a detour through a parking lot.

I told my husband if you ever encounter a motorcycle accident what ever you do don't move the person and tell them not to move. You never know if they broke their back but haven't done any damage to their spinal cord yet. (I know from experience)

3 Lights down we hear a crash and see smoke another motorcycle with a child on the back gets hit by a car. (Are you kidding me? I mean 3 lights down) This one is bad. My husband with out missing a beat grabs the fire estiguisher and runs through traffic to get to the guy. I pull the truck around park look for the first aid kit I carry (oh crap I took it out cause I needed the room to move my crap) I grab my sweatshirt jacket incase they needed it to stop the bleeding 911 is called and the guy asked my husband to call his girlfriend and tell her what happend. The child was about 8 or 9 and the guys leg is badly broken both get Air Lifted.

We get back in the car and go about 4 more lights it's now 545pm. We get our bikes. (granted ours are petal bikes and not motorcycles I have this feeling of I don't want this anymore)

So There are these days when I wake up and wonder why am I here. Then there are these days I get my answer. So can I say... Thanks God for reminding me why I am alive.
