Bowling at T.I.

Last night Kurt, Hunter and I went bowling at the new bowling alley in the casino. It was fun! Nice new shoes. Nice clean place, no smoking. We had a blast! Hunters first time ever going and lets just say she rocked!! I helped her out, and in the second game just bowled for her the last half. She kicked both of our butts!!! You go girl. I brought my camera, but dang it, the battery was at home in the charger. Next time. Kurt is sooooo good with her. I love it! And she really likes him too. I am still smiling.
His nutt job ex is still not leaving him a lone though. It bugs me, and obviously him. She will not quit texting him. Over and over and over. All day, all night. He asked her to please stop and she said she will never stop. WTF?
Anyone know how to block a number on your cell phone? I have heard it can be done, but don't know if you have to contact your cell company or if you can do it through your phone. Somethings gotta give. She obviously wants attention, and will probably noe quit any time soon. Whack job. I don't even know what else to say right now.

Photo update of our lives as of late

As most of you know, Jess and Kris and I get together once a week with our girls for supper. Just enough time to catch up on each others lives, let the girls play, oogle over Nora, and maybe watch a show together. Ellie and Miss Hunter are way into princesses lately. A cute pic of them in their "princess jammies"!

The new little clan member we oogle so much! What a doll you are!!!

Any one been to Colvill Park lately?? They are building a MASSIVE play area for the kids. It looks to be almost done, but no access yet. How fun for all out little ones! Remember when we were little and we got to play on a single slide, double teeter totter, set of swings, yada yada?

Went out a couple weeks ago to practice darts. The season is soon approaching!! Yay! Our drinks were adorned with little skirts. We are total dorks, but that is okay, we had fun!!!

Ond day mom stopped by to say hi. And when she was leaving. Hunter and the care bear clan all had to wave goodbye. It was cute!

Stopped over at Uncle Roos last week to see how the house is coming along. I am proud of him. This house is gonna be a great little pad for him. Mom was cleaning the kitchen, and of course, Miss H joined in. What a little cleaner. I will remind her of these photos when she is 16 and not wanting to keep her room clean!!!

This year for Halloween Miss H is gonna be a dragon! Woa, a little boyish, but whatever. The costume is warm and she seems to like it. I will be working that night, but daddy will be taking her out!

Last and not least. I took a couple long go go gadget arm shots today at the park. I love you little girl!!!


And that brings me to now. Kurt and Hunter and I are gonna go check out the new bowling alley at the casino and throw a couple balls. Come home, watch some t.v. Hope that my phone doesn't ring and that nobody is roaming around my damn house outside!!!!!! ttfn

WTF????

I am in a very weird place right now. Had yesterday off from work, went out with Kurt and had a flippin blast!! Went out early, came home early. Woke up VERY early! Looked outside at Kurts car, not really sure why, but thought that it might have a smashed windshield. His car was parked at my house all night. Walked outside to look at it. Not smashed. Someone dumped an ashtray on it. And then Kurt came out, to look. 2 of his tires slashed. I have never been a big fan of the work psycho, but HELLO! His ex is a effin crazy lady who needs to leave us the F alone. The cops were called. A report was done. No way to prove that it was her, but we know. The cops went to look at her house in her vehicle to see if they could find the tool used. My house was also getting prank phone calls earlier this week. I just do not even know what to think. She is 34 yrs. old and needs to grow up. If this stuff keeps happening they are thinking abt. filing stalking charges and suggest to get a restraining order. This shit is crazy. I have never had to deal with anything like this. WTF? That is all I am thinking right now.

LMAO

Okay so for some of you who know me, and some who don't. The name of the guy I have been hanging out with is Kurt. He was over and we were playing with Hunter. I quickly got booted to the chair from the couch. I must of CLEARLY not been as much fun!!! But regaurdless, I was pleased that she is comfortable around him. Before I got the big boot though. We were drawing on her etcha sketch. She said she had drawn a cheerio. Kurt and I looked, and no shit, it looked like a little sperm. Circle with a wiggly tail!!! We were laughing so hard. I should have taken a picture. Maybe you just had to be there. But it was flippin hilarious!!!

On another note. My t.v. has been shutting of randomly for the past 2 days, and I'm not sure what the problem is!! Kinda weird. Kinda freakin me out. Movin on.

I got this email with a bunch of cute pics and then, this saying on the bottom! I love it!

LIFE IS SHORT! BREAK THE RULES!
FORGIVE QUICKLY! KISS SLOWLY!
LOVE TRULY, LAUGH UNCONTROLLABLY. .
AND NEVER REGRET ANYTHING THAT MADE YOU SMILE.

Halloween is fast approaching. I am a bit sad that I will be working and not able to take Hunter out this year. My mom volunteered and she has a safe neighborhood. So we will see what Trapper wants to do. She is gonna be a dragon. A bit on the boyish side if you will, but this costume is adorable!!! We tried it on last night. Too cute. I, on the other hand, have that Sat. evening off and will be going out. I just ordered an outfit yesterday online. It is an indian princess/pocohontas deal. Super cute, hopefully fits. We will see! But I am excited!
Okay, more later.
Think I'm in love.
Is that crazy or what!?

Good Morning!!!!

So. Yeah. I had an awesome weekend! Although I worked too. Everyone at work keeps talking abt. this "glow" that is covering my face! Just a giddy little school girl. I love it! My house is a mess, clothes need to be washed. Dishes need to be done. I didn't do anything productive over the weekend. But I am totally okay with that! Ha!
I get to have 7 Sat. off in the next 2 1/2 months! I am so pumped! Maybe not that big of a deal to most of you. But I have been working weekends for over 10 yrs. so this will be nice and I am gonna take full advantage of them for sure!

Lily's

I love Lily's. I want Lily's. I need Lily's. I will get Lily's. In abt. 5hrs.

For those of you who don't know, its a great little coffee shop downtown! With the best chicken ceaser wrap!

Mmmwaaaaa!

Call it love, or call it lust. . . I'm not sure at this moment. But what I do know is, that my heart is smiling! :) And I am literally grinning from ear to ear! I was just talking to a co-worker last week abt. how my mission of looking for a mate has ended. And I didn't mean that I would never date again! Just that sometimes when you just quite "trying" so hard, whatever it is that you are looking for just may come and tap you on the shoulder! And that is pretty much what has happened. I won't go into too many details now, but just know that I am in a really good place!! (Not that I wasn't before, because life with just Hunter and I would be wonderful, but this mammas got a lot more love to give!) So, I will keep everyone posted as this venture begins.
P.S. I have known him for 15 yrs. That is all you get for now!

A bit of this, a bit of that

I got out Hunter's potty chair again, after a brief period of hibernation, and her CareBears are constantly going!!! So, yes she understands the whole concept, but I am not pushing the matter right now. I plan on trying whole heartedly sometime after Christmas. Trapper said she dropped a duece in her potty at his house last night! First time going ever. She has this thing with pull-ups. Likes the thought of them, loves to say the word and wants to wear them. So he said that she could if she went in the potty. Put the potty in her room, shut the door and let her do her business. Asked if she was going, and she replyed yes. She yelled when she was done. And that was that. She was rewarded with a treat as well.


On another note. A couple weeks ago, we were shopping at Wal-mart. Saw a bunch of things in the 50% off isle. And found this great buy for only $35! I usually am not a thrift shopper in any way, so this made me proud!!


Here is Hunter in her Viking wear the day of the Viking/Packer game.


And here is her mother the night of the Viking/Packer game. With a couple people from work, not to mention. . . the day before the great hangover last week! Hang over from Hell.




But reagaurdless, I had a fun time. Was home before midnight. And from the stories that I heard this past week when I returned to work, I was definitely NOT alone in my "good" times!!! Many of us were in the same boat the next day.
Damn Vikings. Had to lose again yesterday. But. . . as we say. . .there is always next week!

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Today is a bit more on the productive side. Got the grocery shopping done and am finishing up on laundry. I will get the house cleaning done by tomorrow when I go to work. Started going through Hunters clothes. Putting the out of season/too small ones into bins. Some to keep, some for a garage sale, and some to donate. She has a butt load of 3T's that I just dug out of the closet!! She will be set for some time!
On another note. I am getting a dvr next week! Not that I really need this thing. But come on guys, Grey's is starting soon, and since I am working nights, I just CAN'T miss it!! I also bought season 4 today that came out on dvd yesterday! Yay!
Hunter and the cat are currently sleeping. Yes. Me time.
Yesterday, well it didn't all suck. Hungover yes. But on the other hand, Hunter and I hung out all day. Didn't leave the house. Just bummed, and played, watched movies, snacked, snuggled and laughed. Lots of hugs and kisses. Totally not productive, nothing got accomplished. But. . thats okay!
Going to Kris tonight, gonna hang with the girls.
I have so many pics to post too, to help see what we have been up too, but oh yeah, camera got left at the bar Monday night. Need to retrieve it from a friend later. So, as soon as I get that. I will post some pics!
Went to the doctor on Monday. . . because of this persistant cough and phlegm thing that has been going on since March. Tested negative for asma. Next step. See a pulmonologist. Appt. made for next month.
Great.
WTF is wrong with me? Totally hoping that it is nothing too serious. Arggggg.
ttfn.

Hungover.

Go Vikings!!

Sorry, not too much time to post right now, but yes, I am still here! Super excited abt. the game tonight! Hunter had her first day of "school" today, and it went soo well. I think I am gonna like this class. The first half, the parents play with the kids, and the second half, the moms (or dads) go into another room to talk and what not! How cool!
Hunter is going to her dad's house tonight, which means, party time for me! There is a butt load of people I work with going to the Bluffs over in Wisconie to watch the game on a huge projection screen ! Yeah. Post more later!!

Labor Day

We woke up early this morning and went to Memorial Bluff to take a few pics over looking Red Wing. For my moms b-day (already over with so the gift will be late), a quilt is being made, with pictures of us kids over the years. More recent then early but nonetheless, I can't wait to see it! So hopefully one of these recent shots will make it.

Linds and Nate

Hunter was being difficult, not really crabby, but just not willing to be photogenic either!



Uncle Roo

I don't know what made me think that we should be silly!?

Linds and Nate have now left to go back to Illinois. It was great to have them both home for the weekend!! Wish I didn't have to work so much! Have a safe drive home guys! We love you! Till next time.

Tim is HOT!!!!!

Sat. night was the Tim McGraw concert!! Oh. My. God. I love him. Thats all I got to say. And those jeans. And that butt. I don't have pics right now. Actually I was a bit ticked. The people in the box office where I ordered tickets told me NO cameras. So I told everyone that I was with to leave them in the limo. When Tim came on stage, the flashes were everywhere!!!! I was like, what the *@#k! But no fear, a gal I work with was sitting in the first 10 rows and is going to e-mail her pictures!!!! I can't wait!
After the concert, we went to Bilz til 1am and then headed over to the Harbor. Not exactly my choice, but I didn't protest too bad either.
Some pics of our night!

This is some of us in the limo going across the river.

Nate, me and my cousin Stacy. She is preggers and didn't join us in the bar activity.

Ya know I am having a good time when I start throwing the peace sign around!

Ollie, Linds and Heidi.


What a fantabulous time we had! So much fun, only a big bid headache the next day though that was not that much fun!! And I had to go to work, which made me feel even worse. Went to moms on Sunday for Lindseys birthday lunch, mom is a great cook! Really just wanted to go to bed after a full tummy! Hope everyone had a good weekend! Looking forward to my days off to RELAX.

Birthday Party!!!

Saturday was Hunter's birthday party! It was a success! A bit warmer than what I would have preferred, but I shouldn't complain, at least it wasn't raining, and all the kids got to play outside! The back deck was full, the food was good, and the time flew by! Thanks to everyone who could come and enjoy this special day with us!!

The godparents.

Best Friends

The cake. Of course the theme was Strawberry Shortcake!

The food.

The presents. She went through them so fast, and got lots of good stuff!!

Moi

My stepdad Tim.

Thanks again to everyone who came! Hunter was pooped by the end. She took a excellent nap for 2 hrs. after we got home!! I had a wine cooler.

My brothers' new house

Shawn bought a house, most definitely a "fixer upper" in July. The last month plus has been much needed time, painting, cleaning and replacing things. Linds brought home some paint and helped out all weekend. Wish I didn't have to work so I could have helped as well. A few pics.

Of course Hunter had to help out! This was her First painting experience!

The bathroom. The faucet and whole tub/shower were already replaced.

Master bedroom. Wood floors will all be refinished within the next year or so.

Dining room. The door going to the back deck will be replaced soon.


Congrats Shawn! You are gonna love it when you finally get to move in!!
I am trying to get him to buy my living room furniture so I can get a new set!!! We'll see!
