Happy Monday!

Well we made it thru another turkey dinner and Black Friday shopping day! Dinner was awesome, more so since I didn't have to cook! and I got almost all my Christmas shopping done on Friday! Have a few odds and ends to do then we're finished! Well have to wrap yet which is worse than the shopping! I hate wrapping. Mostly cause it doesn't last long enough! LOL. Think the kids would mind if all their presents were under the tree in Wally World and Tarlet bags? Targets are festive- white and red- those are nice Christmas colors..and WM are white too...I might even slap a bow on em to make em pretty!
Had hoped to get the outside lights up but I was sick all day Sat with this darn cold and Jon messed with this netting stuff he got from work. It's HUGE. Covers the trains for the light rail and gets thrown away so he brought some home and is making hammocks out it! Pretty cool! He enjoys it so I let him go. Gets him away from in front of the computer for hours...can you imagine? snicker.....
Kind of gloomy looking outside, Could it mean we have rain coming???? We could be so lucky! NOT...
This cold or allergies is kicking my butt this week! Didn't help yesterday I was outside while Jayson was mowing the grass then I helped with a cpl areas he couldn't or didn't want to do...parts of it are dirt so ya know what happens there when the mower blows in that direction! cough cough sputter sputter....I also trimmed alot of dead stuff off my roses...one has new growth all over it! HELLO! It's Nov for heavens sake....die off so I can whack ya back to the max and have nice new stuff in the spring. I'll get after it big time this week. It's won't know what hit it then! LOL
Temps are COLD this AM. Jon left at 5:15 with a jacket on! Has to be ccccoold for him to do that.
Well off to finish some assignments for 3S then do some recipe pages for a swap . Have a great day!

Happy Birthday!

Well yesterday I turned 51!!! YEAH ME! Each yr I make another bday is a great event! I spent doing NOTHING. Well played on the computer, big surprise there huh? lol.
I recieved so many birthday wishes and a cpl free kits from scrapping sites- THANK YOU to clikchicdesigns.com and KBandFriends for your beautiful kits. I appreciate the generosity! Thank you to ALL my online friends too for the cards and birthday wishes. DH bought me the cutest card too! Along with dinner! Shrimp,crab and a Black Forest cake...yummmm....Jayson gave me a huge hug and wished me HB too. He is such a cool kid and fun to be with. He told me last night all he wanted to Christmas was a guitar and a DS....sooooo....looks like Santa will have an easy time this yr! lol. Tis good since Jon was out of work so much and we're trying to get back on our feet again. Sure sucks when you're used to a pay check each week then lose a job and have nothing for weeks. I don't know how people do it, well they don't and become homeless. I can't even imagine it! My heart goes out to those who have had it happen.
Today is a lazy day again. Fighting a BAD toothache. I'm going to have to find a new dentist and hope he uses something besides novacaine! I hate the needles in the mouth thing! shudder...
Not much else happnin. Guess I will try to get more files copied to disks and clean the HD...what a chore! OMG!
Till next time!

Adventures abound!

Well I did it!!! I finally got into another vehicle out of my wheelchair! Our friends bought a Ford Expidition and managed to get my butt into it! WooHoo!!! We got up at 4:30 Sat morning, got dressed and ready to head to the mountains for a day of off roadin and hunting. The guys hunted squirels and I hunted things to take pics of from the truck. LOL...we left about 7 and arrived in the forest about 9:30...found some cool roads to travel and bounce around on! One of them was OMG just barely wide enough to travel on! I just now thought DOLT! I never got a pic of it! RATS! It was where we did find this tho: [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/khalgren77/IMG_7931.jpg[/IMG]

I about died when I saw Mike carry it on his hand! ICK!
Here I am tho after a LOOOOONG day! [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/khalgren77/IMG_8057.jpg[/IMG]

All I did was veg all day! Did not much of anything! Poor Jon limped all day cause his feet hurt from his boots! LOL. I would have thought his legs would have! Next trip we take I'm taking the video camera to get pics of him hauling ass after the squirrels! I didnt think he could run that fast! LOL.

Tues. Oct 30

Happy Halloween Eve all! Jayson has me working on his costume...he wants to be Freddy Kruger...ick! but we do it..rather than spend 10 bucks for a glave I'm making one...using his golf glove, foil,and duct tape. He wants to do something with his face too so we may use a pair of pantyhose and paint red/brown marker on them- Haven't decided yet. They had a news cast on how sexual some of the costumes are for teens these days. I SO wish we could get back to the days when we all made our costumes, covered ourselves and best thing they were FREE!

Well I am TRYING to get my EHD cleared out of old "stuff"- kits I won't use, icky pics that I have 99 copies of to make sure I get 1 or 2 good shots- you know you ALL do it too...How to decide tho. OMG! I want to use em all but no way I can. So delete I have been doing. gasp! Right now there is 2.40 GIG worth of stuff to dump..WOW! Have a LOT more to go but taking baby steps...organize, refile. delete, move...what a job! but I AM determined to get it all done! Having lost 2 EHD's already you would THINK I would have been doing it sooner, but noooooooooo....being the procrastinator extroidinaire that I am have not...till now! Have em ready to go starting tomorrow! WOO HOO!!! Baby steps...HOPE to have EVERYTHING done by Jan 1 so I can start new and fresh for the new year!

Well it is now 4AM....think I better sleep some more...yawn...night...morning,,,where ever ya are!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Started this hrs ago and just now finished..LOL.

Quiet Saturday!

YEAH! I have the house to myself, well besides the dog,birds and rodent....the guys went squirrel hunting...yumm...I'll eat them but hunt and clean em- no way! ICK!
I can't believe it's Say already! As well as the last weekend before Halloween! Where has this month gone! Just means Christmas is right around the corner now....GADS! Ours will be little this year which is ok....with Jon out of work for 5 weeks we have to get back on our feet again. Not doing to bad all in all tho. We had planned to go to Disney but have put it on hold till next year now. Jon likes his new job so far! He's a QA for the new light rail being put in here. He makes sure the cars are put together and are safe to ride. I think I might check if they need someone to check how ADA friendly they are! Wouldn't that be cool!
Think I'm off to clean out more files..OMG! I dumped SO many the last cpl of days. Things I "THOUGHT" were cool but were junk...things I will never ever use but HAD to have- you know we all HAVE kits like that! lol...we're all or were freebie hogs,,grabbing anything and everything we could get our hands on. As time goes on tho we learn what is good and wasn't isn't as good as it should be but people were or are learning the craft. Everyone is new at one time or other!

2am and wide awake!

What else is new!
Well I FINALLY got my new chair but it sucks! BARELY fits thru the door! The delivery guy rips a small hole in the arm rest and tore off the molding bringing it in, no ccushion- its on order- well why the hell did ya bring me the chair then? HELLO! I specifically asked for a short back so my back fat would fit in the seat better- he said no problem- has a full back! Arm rests are WAY to low and I dont think can be raised enough , no seatbelt! HELLO! Who orders a power chair with no seatbelt? Especially if you have a paraplegic using it? The guy is a moron! and I am calling Monday to tell him so too! He never returns phone calls either...Monday is NOT going to be a good day when I go in there.
Onto better news- our Arizona Diamondbacks are in 1st place still by 2 games!!! YEAH!!!! GOOOOOOOO D-BACKS! We're going to the game tomorrow against the Cubs, SHould be a good game IF they get a better umpire in there than Friday nights! OMG! He was SOOOO not consistant with his calls for either team. Wonder who paid him to make bad calls? LOL

Random thoughts on 1st posting!

I cant sleep! TOTALLY mad at DH(and it ain't dear) this AM! I wrote him a nasty gram so we'll see how it goes when he reads it. Oh well! Won't go into details or I will bust out bawling again! MEN! UGH!

Had a vegging day today! I do that now and then. Days I don't feel like getting up so I don't. Feels good to just lay here and be lazy! I did get alot of web surfing done and old emails cleared out tho so it wasnt a totally wasted day!
Have been trying for 3 days to get my doctor to call me and write me a new perscription for a new wheelchair! I have had this one 5 yrs now and it's needing some major over hauling and since Medicare hasn't bought one they said they would. YEAH ME! I think I am going to get a purdy purple one this time so when I join the Red Hatters I can dress in red and have my purple chair! Although I am pretty fond of the red one. Decisions decisions!
Well I am in the Amazing Race again this year with one of my fellow Home Team Members at 3Scrapateers! Amberlee Batchelor and I will be The Cowgirl DigiJunkies! I was in it last year and had a GREAT time. Won lots of prizes so am looking forward to another FUN year!!! Yeee Haw!!!
