I've been tagged by Christina to do this blog thingie.

** 7 Random Facts about me (as if you all are interested or didn't know already!)

1. I smoke. I know...i quit for two months in January 2007, but i took the easy way out and started up again, after a much stressful situation that just rocked my nerves out of the solar system. I WILL quit again and soon!

2. I swear. I am more conscious about it now and am trying to curb the nasty, filthy, vile, disgusting habit...but i really do have a trucker's mouth. Me sweet???? Ummmmmmm...not always. :-)

3. I love sweets. I'd rather eat a chocolate pie than a steak and I'd rather sit and eat ju-jubes than a bag of chips. It's a girl thing.

4. I have pudgie, fat toes. I hate them.

5. I haven't had my period for 2 months. I'm not pregnant...just loving this Depo Provera shot!! WOOHOO!

6. I have nearly two unopened KITS from Life Preservers - I think I'm hoarding. I sometimes feel like I'm going to have a stroke when I actually cut the paper. Waaaaaaah!

7. And lastly, but not leastly...I can handle people in small doses. UNLESS your name is Dennis Cameron and You GET ME (the real me)...I don't want to spend more than one hour with you. LOL! I just don't have the patience to chat about your shopping trip. People tell me I'm extrememly patient and tolerant (and I am!) but...I am secretly cringing if you are blabbing away about useless nothingness.

2007!

I can't believe it's 2007! I was telling Dennis, I was right where I wanted to be on New Year's Eve...after shopping, and visiting Mom and Dad C, we made a delicious home cooked steak dinner, had a few drinks, and watched The Soprano's. We went into town Sunday afternoon and splurged on Season 3, it was the only one we hadn't watched yet. Man...I love that show!

The freezing rain! Glad it melted this morning.

Kids got back home tonight. They are pleased with their new video games, Dad bought them. I'm uploading pictures right now to the online photo lab. I'm gonna make Luce a scrapbook for her birthday and I've only got till Saturday...so i betta bust my butt. Not sure i'm gonna use all 80 pictures I'm sending in to get developed. That'll be one big scrapbook! HEHEHE. Yay...another scrapbook week. :-)

Generally, I make a Resolution NOT to have a NEW YEAR's RESOLUTION but this year I have a few:

1. Quit Smoking
2. Lose Weight
3. Wash Make up off before I go to bed
4. Pay off Credit Card
5. Take lots of pictures and scrapbook more often

Happy New Year!!

Another Year is coming...seems like just yesterday, that it was Y2K...and the fears that the world would explode. Can't believe it's gonna be 2007!!
2006 was a good year, but I have decided that 2007 is going to be even better. (DIVORCE - yay!).

Hope you all have a FUN New Year. As for me, I'll be right where I belong. Right where I am happiest. See you in 2007!

I'm all alone for once...

I haven't been alone in this house since November. That was the last time Steve took the kids for a weekend. Today he picked them up for 5 days. It's nothing short of a miracle. I am pleased to have this time to myself to relax and clear my head. Tomorrow I go to D's to spend some 'alone' time with him...and ring in the New Year together. I can hardly wait for tomorrow to finish...so I can be on my way.

So what did I do, you ask? I came home from work, stripped down to my underwear, and snuggled up on the sofa with a warm fuzzy blanket, had a nap, phoned my boyfriend, watched some television and updated this blog. I should be sleeping shortly. HA! I get time alone and all I want to do is sleep. It is nice not being required though...for once. "Mom get this, Mom get that!" I'll miss them though...likely. (hehehe - or not). ahhhh...they know I love them immensely.

To prove it, I'm posting these two pics of us...acting silly. These turned out not too bad. Love my new digital camera. Allison has asked for a scrapbook for her birthday, so I must start taking a crap load of pictures this weekend and surprise her with something special!

P.S. I watched the Family Movie we made Mom and Dad, again...only this time I was alone. You were right Stella...it friggin makes you cry! Awesome work!

Sleepyhead

This was me this morning. I forgot to set my alarm and woke up half an hour late. I managed to shower and put on my pretty face in half an hour and still be ready in time. Makes me wonder why I waste so much time those other mornings...I COULD BE SLEEPING IN! ;) (hehe)

Winter is coming...

Ahhhh...Saturday, rain all day. Sunday it was so freakin' windy! We woke up at Dennis' with no power. Wondered how I'd ever make my coffee and just when my migraine started to get out of hand, the power went back on and I was able to get my coffee. (hehehe)...can you say 'addicted to caffeine?"
I absolutely felt like this all weekend, being treated like a princess by my luv'r. I love you babe. Absolutely every time I see you, you confirm that absolutely no one but you could ever make me this happy. :-)



Sarah, your spaghetti was great. I tried your recipe...loved it!
Friday night I watched "The Lakehouse" with Sarah. I love that movie. GREAT CHICK FLICK! ;)

I have decided that I am going to skip my birthday this year. I don't wanna be 36. :-(

TGIF

I'm so glad the weekend is almost here. Just one more day slaving away here at the office and I get to sleep in tomorrow. I'm so tired!
These two pictures just about tell it all. :-)

Have a great weekend guys!

Been a while...

It's been a while since I posted, so thought I'd give a quick update. Ain't much to tell...it's been the same old routine that it has been since school started. I get up in the morning, take out the trash, sweep the kitchen floor, make a pot of coffee...go to work...sit at my desk for 8 hours staring at the monitor and punching in #'s, then i go home make supper, clean house, do laundry, make lunches, help kids with homework, make tea...crash on sofa around 8, fall asleep...get up and go to bed.

Fun eh? It's so friggin' exciting I can hardly stand it.
In a twisted sort of way though, my routine gives me comfort. At least I have my kids and a roof over my head and I have a job so I can feed them. Some things you simply can't help but be grateful for, even though there ain't much joy in the routine.

I'm having an off 'sleep' week. It goes in patterns. Some weeks i sleep really well, and other weeks, real crappy. Well this week is a crappy one. Can't fall asleep and even though I eventually do I can't seem to stay asleep. I wake up feeling like a zombie. GET ME SOME MORE SLEEP! I had a migraine yesterday from about noon until i went to bed. I still have a slight ache this morning, but it ain't nearly as bad. Maybe if I take some tylenol now it will curb the escalation. Who knows.

Lost is on tonight...season premiere! Been waiting all summer...the kids can hardly wait. Should be a good one.

I browse Post Secret every Sunday...this is the one that I liked.



I'll make sure I buy a couple of lottery tickets this week.
When you feel like you got no hope, it kills ya...
i'm sort of there...
no hope...
no life...
and who really gives a ***k. (Because everyone else has problems of their own...who has time to care about someone elses's?)

/i dunno

What's up?

Just got back from a visit at Sarah's. So nice to catch up. I missed ma girl! We watched Miss Congeniality 2 - friggin' hillarious. I loved it. I don't get why D don't like her (Sandra Bullock)...she's hillarious in that movie.

So Bell came tonight and fixed my phone. He fixed some wires on the pole and fixed the ground wire into the house. He said the wires were ancient...no friggin wonder. Anyways...he did a bit of snipping in the basement to the wires, some twisting and we're all as good as new. I am able to plug in my dozens of cordless phones now...and actually hear the phone ring...ha! Internet is working too! w00t!

So...tomorrow we shop for groceries, run a few errands and pick up a few items needed for school and then we watch CSI all night. Sunday, we are going to the apple orchard with Sarah and the boys. Hey...that's where me and D had a date, with the kids...i remember so well. Hell, i even kept the email he sent me after the date...first time he called me a 'peach'. Sweet memories.

It's our two year anniversary next Tuesday. xo
