Mr. Oakley Tank

He is so cute.

It's 60º! Let's go for a Walk!

I woke up to see this in the kitchen. It's a good thing he put it up, bc I was on my way to make some cereal. He made french toast & ham. It was delish!



It looked warm out, so we walked into town for the first time this year. OH.....DEAR....GOD! The wind was UNBEARABLE! My ears were burning!!! The weather was so deceiving! So we stopped into the library to drop off a DVD & warm up a little. Oops. The DVD was not in the case. So I had to return it the next day.

I was sitting looking at some magazines, and I noticed a rather cute guy walking into the library. I caught myself staring at him from the parking lot all the way to the building. He caught me, too. CRAP! What a tool! Then a few minutes later I felt someone coming up behind me. It was HIM! For sure you know he only went over to magazines to see if I would look at him some more. Which I did, so he wins. Damn. I'm off my game!

Then I heard a whispering "BOO!" It was Molly!!!! She and Riley were there with Carey & they came over to say hi!



She had pretty barrettes in her hair.







She did a little jig for me in her princess dress. She cracks me up! Wears those dresses everywhere!





They had little princess phones & were pretending to talk on them. So cute.

Jimmy & I were planning on going to Aurora Farms, & Carey wanted to go too. So we all hiked it to AF. The girls wanted to go on the quarter rides there. Carey put Riley in one & when it turned on it freaked her out bc it was so loud. So I jumped on {no sense in wasting money} but really i did it so she would see it wasn't scary. Then she came on with me & I slithered off so she could ride by herself. The ride turned off 2 seconds later.

Valentine's Day

Woo Hoo! Preggo or not, I'm wearing my red 4" heels!!!



My awesome shirt details.



I was very excited that I got to wear both. Jimmy & I went out to dinner to Paladar {my fav restaurant} with Jeremy & Nicole. We had a blast. Then that night I had the worst heartburn. oh well. It's over, said & done with.

basketity ball

Is he smiling at me? :)

I like the one on the right, bc it looks like he is keeping a close eye on the midge.




still dominating...





another great game!!!



Jimmy took the pic on the left {props!}

I think that cute girl on the right is taking a picture of Mikey's butt.



With a hurt back & a cold. He sure does play hard! I'm so proud to be his sister!!! I wish I could say that I taught him everything he knows about basketball, but that is NOT my sport.



We can say that I did teach him how to be cool.

hehe.

whoa!

I just saw this story on the Yahoo! opening page and I totally believe it!!!!

When I was little we were at our Lake House on Lake Texoma. The boat ran out of gas or something, and we all had to get out and go to shore. My dad & I were next to each other and we saw something slithering around in the water. It was snake-like from what I can remember. Picture a snake's body moving up & down, in & out of water. Now picture that snake with about a 24inch circumference!!! It was HUGE! We both freaked out and moved a lot quicker!!!

I think I also got heatstroke that day, too. hahaha

Tonight.

After Mikey's game, I plan on posting some pix. So let's hope that pans out. As for now, I'm going to brave the chilly air (with wetish hair) & go run some errands.

I hope I don't get sick.

Peace!

Maybe it's just around the corner...

It sounds like Spring outside. It's also 50º, so maybe it is just around the corner. That would be nice, bc I would like to go for walks into town! It's supposed to snow next week though. :( BOO!!!

On another note, what is with people's driving lately? I've had 3 people swerve into my lane in one week! And I mean SWERVE! It's kinda scary. One guy was turning left thru an intersection. I was in the left lane of road he was turning onto. He was looking down at his phone while turning & almost hit us. WTF!?!?! Now I'm not a goody-goody, but I feel that using your cell phone like that while driving should be a primary offense. I'm surprised that more people haven't died from texting while driving. It's friggin' bullshit. I will admit that I look at my phone if there is a message, but that is only when I'm stopped at a light. I don't do it WHILE I'm driving.

I remember when I left the house without a cell phone. Can we go back to those days?

What the...?

What the HELL is wrong with us?

So after we got home from an awesome dinner @ Paladar with Jeremy & Nicole, Jimmy & I came home & tried to watch a Modern Family that we missed. Of course, we can't watch it online either.

He was going to give me a back massage while we watched it. Since, we couldn't he decided to watch some You Tube videos while I got my massage (which was an awesome massage BTW).

It first started with a Beatles music video.

Then from there it got really f*@ked up....

misheard lyrics from some songs, movies that have the "Road to Nowhere" song in them, leg amputations, stretch mark removal surgery, labor, dog labor (um-that dog just got right up and acted like nothing happened after she gave birth to a puppy. WTF?), St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Bonnie & Clyde death photos....I was passing out by now. But Jimmy kept searching. I did mention to look up Jayne Mansfield death photos, then I fell asleep. He preceded to look at mob death photos, decapitation guillotine photos, murder photos (OMG I'm actually laughing at this), then the 2011 Grammy winners. It ended with Neil Young's Angry World video. WTF!?!?! SICK & TWISTED then gay?

Seriously, what is wrong with us?

I also woke up at almost 5 in the morning with excruciating heartburn. It still hasn't gone away & I haven't gotten any sleep. I feel like crap today. So we are headed off to the gym. Maybe that will make me feel better.

Tomo, thu, & fri are supposed to be in the 50's!!!! WOO HOO!

cavs game

Jimmy & I went to the Cavs game the other night. It was fun people watching!






Notice in those last 4 pictures how the 2 Cavs players are just standing there? HAHAHA



Oh here we go! There was a point in the game when they were only down by 3. 69-66. I thought they might have a chance.



uGh! Price grosses me out sooooooooo much!



Oh man, they had this little "skit" playing during a timeout. And the players were all watching it instead of listening to their coaches. It was the LAMEST thing I have EVER seen. Apparently, that guy from the Pistons thought the same thing. I love his facial expressions. Like, "Did you just see that?"

Here we go! The People Watching:



I forgot, I wanted to draw eyes on the back of that guy's head.

It would be my luck to get stuck next to THAT guy (biggie, top right).

Small hands, smells like cabbage. ew

Yup! Just keep letting those kids eat crappy food and buying them expensive toys so they don't go outside to play & run around.

Ok, ok, I know it's freezing right now. I'm trying to prove a point.

Good times. good times.

I promise

I have a bunch of pix to post. I will try to get to them today. I have a lot to do, & it's already 2:30, so I doubt I will. But if not today, HOPEFULLY tomo!

back in the game

I went back to work today. I think it's been a month...but honestly, I've been extremely busy. It was nice to see the students & co-workers though. They all missed me. We caught up on a lot of things. I think the students like me only because I let them get away with more things. Also when I teach them stuff, I do it in a fun way. Okay, Okay....let's just state the obvious here. It's because I'm as immature as they are. It's ok, I'm not afraid to admit it.

A teacher announced her pregnancy today. That brings the tally up to at least 10 now!

Ten ppl I know who are preggs or had a baby within the last 3 months. The new generation of Baby Boomers are upon us. I blame the economy. It costs too much to go out, so what else is there to do?!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!!!

Whew!

What a weekend!!!

Friday night, my cousin Chris & his wife Brittany came into town from Michigan to celebrate my baby shower. We all stayed up late Friday night talking. Then Saturday was the big day. After the shower, a giant group came over to our house for some delicious dinner (catered by Trifles.) We stayed up late talking about baby stuff & playing Cribbage. haha.We also found out some awesome news!!!! Brittany is due in August! We are so happy for the both of them!!!

Then Sunday morning, Jimmy made us waffles & eggs. mmm...mmm....mmm... We said our

goodbyes as Chris & Brit left for home. Alrighty, now it was time to get some of the Super Bowl Party stuff together.

I was a little stressed on the timing: (baby shower saturday-super bowl party sunday) but it actually worked out very well! We had a little bit of food left over from the shower to serve, including my mom's delicious cake!!!! Everyone also brought AWESOME food to munch on.

My chili turned out well! (it's kind of a big deal) haha I didn't have any, bc it would have given me heartburn. So I am having some today for lunch. As long as I eat it earlier in the day, hopefully it won't affect me at night.

We had a great crowd! During halftime we played 2 intense matches of LCR (that's Left-Right-Center, for those of you who call it that). In the first match, the last one standing (Jake) rolled a "C" so we all got our money back & got a chance to play again. Then Kristy won the pot at the end of the 2nd match! We were all pounding on the ping-pong table chanting "C! C! C! C!" It was a really good time!

Pre-game pix: while Jimmy explains the rules

There were about 2 die hard Steelers fans, 2 either way fans, and everyone else was rooting for the Packers!

Now I should go get some rest, but I keep putting off my nap. I really need one though!

HAHAHAHA

OMG! PLEASE tell me you remember these....

Punxsutawney Phil to the Rescue!

As I sit here eating my lunch I just threw together, which btw is DELICIOUS! {Tofu, onion, red quinoa in a sesame ginger sauce....mmm....} I checked to see what that damn groundhog had predicted. I'm sick of this weather, FOO'S!!!!

The lovely groundhog says..........an EARLY SPRING!!!!

I got so excited, I told my husband & he replied: "That's the first time in like 10 years....too bad he's only right 60% of the time."

Ugh! What a downer! I know you can't base the weather predictions off of a stupid rodent. Especially when it doesn't make any sense: if he SEES his shadow=more winter; if he DOESN'T SEE his shadow= early spring. (shouldn't it be the other way around?)

BUT way to burn down a girl's dreams.

So when does this Spring stuff start happening??????

Congratulations!

Michael Hosea

Congrats to Jenna & Josh.

&

Caed & Luka on their lil brother!!!

Throwin' in some pix to the mix

I needed a break from everything I had been working on this week, so I decided to take some pictures of Daisy & Oakley. When I give Daisy her treats, I put them in this green thing, bc it's good for her gums to naw on.



She is such a great looking dog! BUT, she is still a little overweight according to the vet. I promise as soon as it's warm out we will go for walks. It's been in the 20's or less for over a month. I put her on a weight control food. So hopefully that will help during the rest of this stupid winter!



I love the way she holds her green treat thingy.



She's like, "Ok, we get it. Can you stop taking pictures of me & just let me chill? Go torture the kitty cat."



He's on top of the ping pong table watching Daisy eat her treat.

I took Daisy over to my parents' to play with Gidget. They have soooooo much fun together. At one point, while they were wrestling, Daisy literally picked up Gidget & body slammed her! I'm not kidding!!!!! Then I think I saw Daisy bitch slap Gidge. haha. All in good fun of course. Daisy would never actually hurt her.


And of course, I gotta throw in a pic of myself. drrrr.



not much, but eh.

oops....

oops. i missed the chili cook-off this year. haha

here are 2 pix from previous years.

I chose these 2, bc it's hilarious to see how different Mikey looked back then.

this was from 2005

He is 11 in this pic

that's me, looking all tough

Here is 2006

He's 12 in this shot & I think I'm just trying to look good

I guess my "tough" face & my "hot" face looks are very similar.

I need new material!!!
