Anyone out there??

OH MY WORD. I've forgotten about you little blog... I had to take a few guesses at what my password may have been, it's been toooooooooo long. I'm done neglecting you bloggies. I miss you. I have much to say, just no time to say so now. Soon, very soon!


~blue

been forever..

Hello!!

I've not been here in forever and ever. My life has been boring at best. Not that there's anything wrong with that, there just isn't much to talk about. I'm really really really enjoying summer, now that it's finally here. Winter was rough here in MI. My kids are all fantastic! My youngest is now 2, talking, running, getting into everything, a fantastic little girl that gives me so much joy. Ave is starting kindergarten in the fall.. I can't believe how fast time is going. I think she's going to grow up to become a ninja. It's somewhat disturbing :) She caught 3 flies the other day, with her bare hands. Then she brought me a live bunny, and later that same day, a frog. Silly girl. My oldest will be starting 2nd grade in the fall. He can read sooooo well. Reading just happends to be my favorite pass time, and I couldn't be more excited about it. Hubs is good too. We're nearly up to our 8 year anniversery! Time is flying by for sure.
We leave for a camping trip this week, and I'm really looking forward to it! J never seems to sleep well camping tho, so I'm a bit worried about that. Why won't she get used to it already?? Wish me luck!

hello friends!

Yep, I'm alive :) I miss y'all! Let me see.... Well, my girls have been sick on and off for effin EVER! I'm so ready to be done w/ this rotten weather. We had a giant blizzard a few weeks ago, snowed in for 3 days.. This morning I woke up to a thunder storm, in the middle of effin winter, and it was freezing rain! All the roads are a solid sheet of ice, which makes driving not so pleasent. AND, school was NOT cancelled. Jack asses!

I've gone down another size! woot woot! I haven't been trying to lose more weight, but I imagine things are shifting around or whatever. I started my weight loss, almost a year ago now. I still can't believe it! Last year, at this time, I was a tight size 14, and 186 pds. boooooooooooo. Now? I'm a size 6, and weigh 137 pds. Holy shit! woohooo! All that is still going well.

My bday is tomorrow!!! Happy birthday tooooo me.. We are going out to eat, and bowling w/ 20 or so friends. I'm excited about it! However, my hubs said I couldn't get my bday present for awhile, like a month! What is that shit? He won't even clue me into what it is. Bunk. At least give me a clue, something to get me excited...

I will try to blog some more. I've been neglecting it. I hope all of you are well :) You can always email me for a chat :) Jas! That means you! I don't have your email addy! DO it. You know you want to. Happy Weekend to you, and I'll be sure to update w/ birthday photos of a druken blue, having a friggin blast!!

Sick Girl

Ave is sick... I think she has croup, but it's kind of hard to tell. When she was coughing last night, she sounded like a barking seal, but this morning.... Not so much. I hate it when I can't decide what to do. The doc office wants her to come in. Croup can go either way- sometimes you can treat it at home, and other times, you need an oral steroid to make it better. I can specifically remember posting something last year w/ the title "holy croup batman" but I have no idea which kid it was, or where in my archives it would be. Is there a way to search your archives w/o going through every single month?? It was prolly about her. I'll have to see. I dislike going into the doctor, and having them say 'it's a virus, nothing to do for it, now pay us our zillion dollars.' booooo. It doesn't seem that bad yet, but then on the other had, I don't want it to get terrible either. ugh. What to do. I'll go in and see what they say. I'll let ya'll know later this morning. Have a good one!

Ha! I found my Holy Croup Batman, and it makes me feel better about taking her to the doc. It was Jade, not Ave who had it. If you want to see it, here you go. By the way, I've forgotton how to put proper links in here, so you have to do the copy paste thing. I'm a loser :)

HI!

My goodness, I haven't been here in awhile! I'm so sorry bloggies. I've been addicted to myspace recently. Ugh. I really need to stop playing w/ that website. I don't have much today- but remember the fly over I was talking about, from President Ford's funeral?? Here's a video clip of it. Its really cool! Check it out!

Belly Dancing

I've determined that in order to stay fit, I must do something active/exercise-ish. The problem though, is that I effin HATE to exercise. In the summer, I rollerblade all the time, and swim just about everyday. Winter- pass. No thank you. I don't want to be outside in the nasty cold. Ok, so it hasn't been that cold in MI this winter, but whatever. I don't like to exercise. I've made up my mind to do it anyway. I found a belly dance work out. Ha! It's fun! I look like a complete ass doing so, but I can def. feel it working on my mid-section. I've come to the conclusion that I make an awful belly-dancer, but that's alright, no one can see me in my living room. I convinced hubs to try it with me. He said he'd be more than happy to make an ass out of himself w/ me :) What a guy. I so wish I could hide a hidden camara to catch that moment on tape. I betcha I could win an ass load of money off that!

Snow day today. Our weather has been really odd around here. It's hardly been cold at all, but both times it's gotten cold and snowed, school's been closed! Freezing rain both times. This entire week is going to be frigid.

Kids are all good. They've even been behaving themselves! Unreal! We've had very little naughty-ness. I think we're going on a new record over here.

Hubs and I have been wonderful too. Not that we aren't usually, but we've been having a really good time together as of late. We're on a cribbage kick. We've been playing non-stop it seems. He's been making me laugh, helping more around the house, and just being all around fabulous. Here's a tip for you husbands, when you crack your wife up, clean things w/o being asked, your wife's sex drive goes through the roof. You suddenly become so desireble, we can hardly help ourselves. My husband has never looked sexier, than when he's got his hands covered in bubbles from washing dishes :)

We had a GREAT weekend! We didn't do too much really. Had some friends over for dinner Friday night, and played games. Saturday I went out for lunch w/ my mama, and went shopping, and Saturday night, we took the kids to a Griffin's game (our local hockey team). We had a blast! The kids loved it. Sunday we were lazy most of the day, and we had our bowling leauge last night. Bowling was fun, as usual, but I'm still bowling like shit. Maybe someday....

I went bowling w/ some friends last week, and I didn't know everyone that was there. I was putting all of our names in the machine thingy, and asked this guy what his name was, so I could put it in. He said 'you can just put ass in.' I said 'ASS?' He says 'Yes, ASS.' I just kinda shook my head and said okaaayyy. Anyway, the letter A comes up. The guy, he asks 'whose A?" I say "that's you, Ass.' He's like "WHAT?! ASS! Why in the hell would you put Ass in there?!' "you told me to" I say, starting to giggle. Then he goes 'I didn't say ASS, I said S, the letter S, NOT ASS" hahahahahahahahah. I couldn't stop laughing. I honestly thought he said ass, even double checked w/ him. He was a good bowler too, so every time he got a strike, ASS would flash on and off the screen in HUGE letters. I'd start to laugh all over again each time that happened. HA!!! Silly silly fun :)

More Pictures!

Here are some more NYE pics for you. I don't have many pictures of Hubs and I, and I LOVE this one. Enjoy :)






Isn't my hubs super hot?? Man, I love him.

Time to Move

Oh my.. I haven't been here in a bit. There are so MANY things I'd like to tell you about, but I think I need to take my blog undercover. Does anyone know how to save all of my history/archives, but cancel this blog, so I can start another??? I would like to keep all of that stuff, but it really is time to move to another spot... Advice anyone??

Puke puke puke puke

My girls had the stomach flu on Wed, my son has it today! G R O S S! At least its fairly mild. The funeral services for President Ford we're beautiful! The fly over was flippn' sweet, and the kids and I watched it from our deck. I'm short on time, as usual, so I'm pasting in some silly survery. Is spelt a word? Or should it be spelled???? Off tonight for bowl w/ some gf's, and hanging in w/ hubs tomorrow night. We haven't seen much of each other, and we need it.

Holy Line Batman!

So, President Ford's body has been hanging out in dntn Grand Rapids for the last 24 hours. I never expected this to be such a big deal. Grand Rapids isn't an interesting city, nothing 'big' or noteworthy ever happens here. The line to go see President Ford's body, had 60,000 people in it. 60,000! WHO does that? Obviously, everyone! Except me. I have no desire to wait in line for 8 flippn' hours w/ 3 small children. I just can't get over the hullabaloo. I'll go see his grave site after it settles down around here. There have been some really cool things happening though, b/c of the funeral. Today there will be a cannon shooting. There has been a banner at the bottom of the TV all of last night and today, asking that nearby residents turn off all car alarms at 330 today, b/c the cannon could cause them to go off, and that would mess up the quiet of the moment. There will also be 21 fighter jets that will fly over the Grand River today. I hope we get to see them from here! I live 8 miles south of downtown, where all the action is, and 5? miles from the airport. The city and 'burbs are crawling w/ people. Unreal! It was kind of cool watching Larry King Live last night, and seeing all the live shots of my home town, and listening to all the Grand Rapids, MI refrecens. Very cool. I'll be hanging out on the deck this afternoon, trying to catch a glimpse of the sweet-ass fighter jets. I'd love to be able to drive a bit closer to dntn, but both my girls have the stomach flu today. Ick. I hope it's short lived, and that the rest of us are able to stay healthy! If you're able, tune into the news today!

Dead Presidents...

I'm sure you've all seen the unending coverage of President Ford's funeral and what nots. His home town is Grand Rapids, MI. My home town, and where I currently reside. What a big to do! Some of its cool- but his poor family. Having to run all over the country, and sit and grieve in funeral after funeral. Man, that has to be tough! Our city has been crawling w/ news crews and secret service agents. Roads are closing. We just had an awesome fly by of fighter jets though. We'll have more of that later. I guess that Rumsfield and Cheny will be doing a fly by as well. My kids are excited about all the goings on, and want to go dntn today where all the action is. Hmmm. History in the making. 3 little kids, and no parking. I think I'll pass. We live close to the airport though, so we should be able to see all of the planes coming and going. Maybe when it gets closer, we'll drive over by the airport on the back roads to get a better view. Why do they have ceremonies at the airport? Weird.

All else is well here. A goes back to school tomorrow :( Already. Short Christmas vacation for her. M still has till next week. Oh, and J threw up this morning. Awesome. The stomach flu has been knocking people down all over west MI in the last few weeks. I've been continually praying that my family would not get it. We'll see. It was just a small puke, and she's in good spirits, so I hope its just a fluke. Is that even the right word? Eh, you know what i mean.

Talk to you soon bloggies!

Happy New Year!

We had a flippn ball last night! We went to a dueling panio bar w/ some friends. It was great! I laughed so hard last night, that my face hurt and I nearly peed. I'm going to try to post a flickr badge w/i this post- we'll see if it works. I'll post again soon w/ all the details of my last few weeks. Oh, just a side note. Know how when you buy a new outfit, you feel all cute? Then you get the pictures back, and um.. yeah, not so cute. I had that issues w/ my NYE dress. boooo!
Ok, that's not going to work... I'll add the badge to the side, so you can check out my holidays :)
