Nuff Said...

WOWZAH!

Wow, see I told you I was a blog neglect-or. (apparently that isn't a word, spell check assures me this is so...) So life has pretty much been going the same. Work, work, work...sleep, and more work. But I guess, for the sake of this blog I will go into some specifics...(that is the purpose of these things, or so they tell me...and by 'they' I mean YOU Erin...)

Sabby finally went into heat...exactly 2 days after the stud we REALLY wanted for her moved to Tennessee. So, I guess we will just have to go another year with no puppies. It really is sad because I REALLY wanted some cute little puppies to cuddle. Good thing Sabby still thinks she is a lap dog and LUUURRRRRVVES to cuddle with me still. Tink also went into heat. So to sum up, we have had 2, I repeat TWO females in heat around this house. Poor Adam, I guess it is lot in life to be surrounded by women.

Speaking of Adam, we just got back this morning from a very LONG and incredibly COLD road trip to Wyomming. Seriously, it was -8 degrees. And we slept in the truck. In the -8 degree weather. Good thing we had a very warm sleepingbag and eachother to cuddle with, otherwise, I am pretty sure I would have frozen solid. It was kinda fun though. I got to sit in the truck with my husband for like 21 hours and just talk and cuddle. That is the longest we have been ALONE with eachother in I can't even remember how long. We talked and listened to The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, it is Adam's favorite book in the series.), and we snuggled in the back and at least tried to get some sleep. We went to Big Piney, WY, population 408. For shiz. And just guess how many bars there were in that town... Three. There were three bars in a town with a population of 408. Why? Just...why? Guess what else? as we were passing through on our way back toward home, there was a BAR FIGHT! There were 4 cop cars. At a bar fight in a town with less than 500 people in it. WOW. What a night.

Now I am home, wishing some food would make itself and just hop into my mouth. Wouldn't that be excellent?

Supremely Disapointing

Pretty good day today. Well, it was an alright day. I invited Erin to lunch today at BURGER SUPREME (yummy scrumboes). She got all ready and got Camper all loaded into the car and then it wouldn't start. And so, we were SUPREMELY deprived of our burgers. But hey, there is always Wednesday. right?

So, I ordered Adam a wonderful Christmas gift online. I thought to myself, 'he is usually gone during the day and it will probably come when he isn't home'. RIGHT! I got a call sometime around 2:00 and it was Adam. I won't go into details but it involved a lot of me begging him not to open it. He claims that he didn't but I don't think that I believe him. I guess we will wait to check how genuine his surprise is Christmas morning huh?

Sabby is now ungrounded. She tore the house apart when we went to Midway this weekend, so she got herself into a LOT of trouble. But daddy broke down and let her back in the house tonight. Speaking of which, she is now trying to climb up onto my lap, so I had better go and give her some attention...

Why do Fun Weekends Always Cause Sleep Deprivation?

What a weekend. I didn't think I was going to be able to fit all of the things I wanted to do in, but I managed. All in all, it turned out to be a pretty good weekend. I am a little sleep deprived, but hey, that is usually the product of a busy weekend right?

I got to go see Twilight (for the fourth time) with Erin finally, and let me tell you, it was the best viewing of them all. Let me tell you what I think about that movie...I liked it. I wasn't the best movie and it isn't one of my favorite movies by any means, but I still liked it. It is one of those movies that you can really appreciate the cheeziness of. And believe you me, Erin and I laughed and mocked and critisized our way through it. I am sure that the girls behind us wanted to smack us and tell us to shut up, but hey, we had FUN! Also, kudos go to Erin for charming the McDonald's guy in to making us some mcnuggets FIFTEEN minutes early. Then I made my way over to Wal-Mart for the Christmas decor sale. I bought a bunch of lawn decorations and I only spent $50! A-wooo-hooo! Now my yard is sooper cute. Made a visit to the Land of Goshen to visit the fam and hit my mom over the head with her birthday presents, and then it was off to Midway for us. Adam and I spent the night at a friends house and played Guitar Hero and watched movies and made some kick ass fajitas for dinner with Lynn and Kirk. We made a bold move when we left Sabby and Tink in the house for the night, and let's just say that that backfired, big time. I got to do some shuttling for all of my bike boys. Can you believe that it December in UTAH and they can still ride their downhill bikes down the mountain? No snow. Zero. It is AMAZING. Just finished up some dinner with some great friends, and now I am deciding if I want to read, or just sit on the couch and watch TV with my hubby. To read, or not to read...that is the question.

Not really looking forward to work tomorrow. Although alot of people are going to be gone so at least things will be a little bit quieter. Can't wait for that.

I would finish off this post with some musings on life, but, as I mentioned before, I am sleep deprived, yo. And that was a very large run on sentance...

This one goes out to Erin...

WOW! So I just learned something about myself. I neglect my blog. And for this I must apologize. Erin is seriously disappointed in me. Sorry girly. So let's catch up on the life of me...

As far as the weight loss thing, I have made zero progress. Sad news, I know. I received my Core Rhythms in the mail and I have yet to use it. But I have had a seriously bad cold, yo. So, although that is a lame excuse, it is the only one I have.

The puppies. We found out that Sabby can't have them. Even sadder news. We really wanted a litter of puppies from Sabby. But that is ok. We still love her. We did get another puppy. Her name is Tink and she is WAY bigger than Sabby, but still sooper cute. She and Sabby are like sisters now. They even share bones, which is hard to get any two dogs to do let alone to full grown pitbulls. We hope to be able to have a litter out of Tink. Adam's cousin Ryan has a male who is getting pretty old, but he is a good dog and we think he and Tink would have some pretty puppies.

We did go and get our family pictures done. It was before we got Tink, so she is not included in them. It was awesome and we had a great photographer. We colaborated nicely. She had great ideas and she was very open to all of my ideas. It turned out to be a very good experiance. Adam and I didn't get to take engagement pictures so this was a new thing for us. The only pictures we had of us together before were our wedding pictures and although I love those and they are very precious to me, it just isn't the same. Anywhoozers, they turned out even better than I expected and I was very happy with them.

CHRISTMAS! Yay it is Christmastime! I love this time of year. It is definately my favorite decorating season. I just adore my tree. Growing up, my parents were very excited about seasonal decor and my house was always dressed up for whatever season it was. Turns out, this is something I carried on in my own home. Adam didn't get this kind of enthusiasim when he was growing up, so he doesn't have even a fourth of the passion that I have for it so he doesn't seem to want to help with any of it. Apparently, I don't seem to need him to share in this passion. I am sure that when we decide to start a family that I will want him to be more involved, but right now, I happen to enjoy doing it even if it is just me. Not only do I LOVE the decor, I LOVE the music. It makes me very nostalgic. I have a lot of very specific songs that are directly connected to my childhood and Christmas just wouln't be Christmas if I didn't hear those songs at least once. I happen to have found all of those songs on a couple different CD's so I don't have to go without. I LOVE it. Wow, I said LOVE in all CAPS ALOT!!! Now you definately know how much I love all of this.

Books. I happen to have read A LOT of them since my last post. Suprise, suprise. But let me just list a couple of my favorite:
  1. First, there was the Georgia Nicholson series. It is like a Bridget Jones for the younger generation. The author is from England, and let me tell you, I laughed my butt off while reading them.
  • Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging.
  • On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God
  • Knocked Out by My Nunga Nungas
  • Dancing in My Nuddy Pants
  • Away Laughing on a Fast Camal
  • Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers
  • Startled by His Furry Shorts
  • Love is a Many Trousered Thing
  • Stop! In the Name of Pants!
2. Don Quixote

I loved them all. I would seriously recommend the Georiga Nicholson books. Not so much for their literical value, but just because they are light-hearted and funny as hell.

Work. It is work, what can I say. I still love it, it is just a pain in the neck sometimes.

I think I am tired of writing now. More to come, I promise. New goal: write at least once a week. Now that I have said that, I have to write. There you go Erin, I hope you are happy. I even wrote the post-it in BOLD letters.
