Taxes

Okay I did our taxes and now we just have to wait and see if it was accepted by the IRS and then sit back and wait for our refund. This will be our best refund yet, thanks to the purchase of this house. LOL. I love my house. Let me go clean it. I still can't find my digital camera. :o(

Super Bowl Threat

Super Bowl xxx|x is here this year and this town is already getting crazy. Normal hotel prices have been raised as much as 5 times the normal price. We did not raise our prices and the lodge, but all of our lodges in FL are booke even as far as Keywest,Pesacola and GA. CRAZY. I'm ready for tall the parties. LOL.

Laptop

I forgot what it was like to sit in bed and check email. I'm actually doing my blogg as I sit here in bed waiting on Mianna to get ready for school. I have so much to do today on my 1 and only day off this week. Yesterday the cable guy come buy and put up anther outlet for me and I had him put it on the far wall by the fireplace and a little hight on the wall since we will put our flat screen tv there. LOL. I'm planning for the future. lol we also got another digital box for our bedroom so now we can watch on demand in our room and and the livingroom. Mianna has no box in her room but maybe she will get one later on. anyways, I have to drop off the bugg. I'll blogg later on. bye.

Start cleaning

Well guys, Mianna had her first sleep over last night and on a school night too. eheheh. Her friend Jenny really needed to use our computer and so she just came over after school and spent the night here. This morning I took them to school and then headed over to the apartment to start moving out more stuff. I just had a few breakables that I wanted to move over slowly and it looks like I might have to make one more trip and it will all be done and we can start cleaning. I hate this part of cleaning and this morning I was so irritated just thinking about it. Rich said he would clean tonight and I'll also do some on Friday my only day off. I'm working this Sat to cover one of the girls that took some time off. We are loosing yet another employee and will be so short handed. I'm thinking about changing my schedule and if I get to I'll be home more and making a little less pay. I have no idea what to do, but I do miss being home at night and it's just so hard when I'm up in the day and ready to work but I do love being home all day just able to decorate and clean up and run errands. I'm so back and forth when it comes to my schedule. I do love have free time in the day to do things, with less traffic and people out at the stores. Nights work for me, since I’m such a night owl. I have to talk it over with Rich some more and see if we can come up with a solution. LOL. Listen to me reasoning with my self on my blogg. This blogg has become real helpful with clearing my thoughts and remember what I have done in the past. LOL. Okay, so back to work for me, I’m working on taxes too. Trying to see if we will get a good refund and I hope to have it done today. Not to mention I still need to put away the stuff I took over from the apartment and look for my digital camera. My family and friends you know I miss and love you all, sorry for not calling and I promise to send some pics of the house. Talk to you all later.

Car shopping

We are still up in the air with what to buy, but we had so much fun on Friday when we test drove the Mazda 3, Nissan Murano and Nissan Pathfinder. I really liked the Mazda 3 it's so cute and it had both standard and automatic. But I fell in love with the Nissan Pathfinder. It is really big and of a lot of space for us, but I just love the 270 horsepower and it drives like a luxury car. O man I really want that one. Rich likes the smoky gray color and I like the pearl white or silver. But the price is a little bit high. If we get it without all the fancy stuff we could save so much. I'm not sure what we plan on doing but I think we will save up some and buy our new car by April. I think we will use the savings and tax money for a good down payment and get a lower monthly payment at a good interest rate. I want to save up at least 4 or 5 thousand by April will have to be pretty tight with our expenses these next few months and after Feb. no more payments to the apartment and that will help out big time. Feb first we have to pay rent and mortgage so we will have a pretty tight budget. Rich and Mianna went to the commissary yesterday and I must say it feels so good to have food in our new fridge. I'm having a technician come out tomorrow to fix the water dispenser in the door since it's not working properly. This fridge is so cool I love it. I kind of want a bigger one, so we have 30 days to keep shopping and decide on taking it back and trading it in for another. Our space can fit a much bigger side by side if we like. Anyways, I better get in the shower and get ready for work, I have to run to Comcast and the post office before work to make an address change.

Avenn

LOOK at AVENN he is so big now. I talk to Myke the other day and he is already walking =o) man they grow up too fast.

Kenmore Elite

We bought our fridge yesterday and will have it delivered some time between 4-7 today. I'm so excited to fill it with food and be able to cook again. We got it for less than 1000 at Sears Outlet in Mandarin. It has a little scratch but it is worth the savings of close to 300 bucks for that small scratch. The fridge is brand new with the Stainless Steel front and black on the sides. It will match our black front stove that is also a Kenmore. Ill post pics when we get it in today. LOL.

AVENN

My friends baby boy is so cute. I have new pics, but ill have to make the file smaller when I get home and I'll post them. Check out the link above

iPod Shuffel

This reminds me of my first mp3 player that broke many years ago.I still want an iPod =o) I'm at work "windows shopping". I have one hour to go.

The Move

We did it!!!! It took us only 3 hours to move over the bulk of the stuff with 2 trips in the 14 ft Uhal truck.Rich had a friend from work come help at 3 and we finished by 6pm.We continued to pack up at the apartment until 10pm and then we were so pooped that we did the last trip this morning at 8 and turned the truck in at 11am. Rich and Mianna are back at the apartment taking car of some last minute stuff and washing the dog before they bring him over. I was just setting up the bathroom supplies and getting some things put away. The house is so full to the max with boxes and furniture just half scattered in spots. We should have it all set up and in place, within the week. Our new phone line is having some problems so I have to call Bellsouth and have them fix it. We got Comcast digital cable and cable for our computer and man it's so fast. I bought a PCI wireless card for Miannas computer and I installed in on my own and so now her PC is wireless.As soon as we get things set up and looking right I'll take some pics and post them. I better get back to work now before I get caught taking a break. LOL

Happy Anniversary

I for got our anniversary on Jan 4th. We just hit the 13th year. Also I wanted to wish Ingrid and Mike a Happy 2nd anniversary. Man time sure goes by fast.

Shower

I'm off to the shower to try and wake up!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still sleepy and the computer is the only thing keeping me from falling back to sleep. I'm going to pack the car and try to bring over some stuff to the house. This moving crap is never ending :o(

Snoop Talk

Okay so I was checking out the Urban dictionar and there is no meaning for the word forshisal. LOL I belive it mean for sure. or for real. They did have a meaning for my nizzle. forshisal my nizzle dizzle. LOL> okay so I was listening to a new song on the radio by snoop and it's funny that here in FL they don't beeb parts of the song that I know they would in CA. I guess the FL radio sensor people have no clue what snoop is singing so they don't beep it. Anyways. here are some of the lyrics from the song and they play the real version here.

"Drop It Like It's Hot"
(feat. Pharrell Williams)

[Intro]
Snooooooooooop..
Snooooooooooop..

[Chorus - Snoop Dogg]
When the pimp's in the crib ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I got the rolly on my arm and I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed cause I got it going on

[Verse - Pharrell Williams]
Uh! I'm a nice dude, with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes, see these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat
The Phantom, exterior like fish eggs
The interior like suicide wrist red
I can excercise you, this can be your Phys. Ed
Cheat on your man ma, that's how you get ahizzead
Killer wit the beat, I know killers in the street
Wit the steel that'll make you feel like Chinchilla in the heat
So don't try to run up on my ear talking all that raspy shit
Trying to ask me shit
When my niggaz fill ya vest they ain't gon pass me shit
You should think about it, take a second
Matter fact, you should take four B
And think before you fuck wit lil skateboard P

[Chorus]

[Verse - Snoop Dogg]
I'm a gangsta, but y'all knew that
Da Big Bo$$ Dogg, yeah I had to do that
I keep a blue flag hanging out my backside
But only on the left side, yeah that's the Crip side
Ain't no other way to play the game the way I play
I cut so much you thought I was a DJ
[scratches] "two!" - "one!" - "yep, three!"
S-N double O-P, D-O double G
I can't fake it, just break it, and when I take it
See I specialize in making all the girls get naked
So bring your friends, all of y'all come inside
We got a world premiere right here, now get live!
So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little
I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles
Waiting on the Pizzle, the Dizzle and the Shizzle
G's to the bizzack, now ladies here we gizzo

[Chorus]

[Verse - Snoop Dogg]
I'm a Bad Boy, wit a lotta ho's
Drive my own cars, and wear my own clothes
I hang out tough, I'm a real Bo$$
Big Snoop Dogg, yeah he's so sharp
On the TV screen and in the magazines
If you play me close, you're on a red beam
Oh you got a gun so you wanna pop back?
AK47 now nigga, stop that!
Cement shoes, now I'm on the move
Your family's crying, now you on the news
They can't find you, and now they miss you
Must I remind you I'm only here to twist you
Pistol whip you, dip you then flip you
Then dance to this motherfucking music we crip to
Subscribe nigga, get yo issue
Baby come close, let me see how you get loose!

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Snooooooooooop.
Snooooooooooop..

Freak Dancing

Read about the freak dancing in Lemoore, CA. LOL..... too funny... it was on the radio this morning here in FL, I guess it's making headline news. Incase you have been living under a rock for a few years you can check the meaning of freak dancing out in an urban dictionary. To me it the same thing as dirty dancing, maybe just a little bit more crazy for today. I did a google on freak dancing in Lemoore and it come up with more than one link.
Dances Cancelled in Lemoore

High schoolers 'freak' themselves out of a prom



January 11, 2005

LEMOORE, Calif. -- Fed up with students' racy moves, a principal has taken the unusual step of canceling the rest of this year's school dances.

Principal Jim Bennett of Lemoore Union High School said he warned students at a winter formal dance last month to either quit dirty dancing or face the possibility of not dancing at all.

But he said the students continued ''freak dancing,'' a form of sexually suggestive dancing.

The ban on dances includes the school's Sadie Hawkins dance in February and the junior and senior proms in the spring, but Bennett said they could be rescheduled if students modify their behavior.

Organizers of the Sadie Hawkins dance, a fund-raiser for the school's FFA Organization, formerly Future Farmers of America, are working with Bennett to come up with regulations, which could allow that dance to go on.

One idea is to let students sign a form stating that raunchy dancing will get them kicked out. Students hope regulations could lead to the reinstatement of dances.

''Some students save up all year to buy a dress or rent a tuxedo and buy flowers for the prom,'' said student body president Zohra Lakhani. ''To crush everyone's dreams, it's not fair.'' AP

Hybrid

I might have found the SUV that is perfect for us. We do love to travel by car and this new hybrid by Toyota can go up to 600 miles before it needs gas. Man, if I only had this car when we use to drive to SD from Lemoore. LOL. I'll just wait till spring to buy my new car. RICH>>>>>> I want that one. I don't know I'm still in love with the Infinity SUV and also the Nissan Murano. HELP> ehehhe. I could get a write off on my taxes if I buy the hybrid. LOL

Southern

Okay today I'm going nutts with all these callers calling in with some of the thickest southern accents I've ever heard and this one lady called in and all I could understand was cancelation. Most of the time my hair stands up when I hear a thick souther accent. I just can't stand the sound of it. HELP LOL.

Working Late

Okay it's Monday the worst day here at CRC and I'm working pass my normal scedual to cover someone who called in sick. It's a good thing I'm working with my good buddy Merranda. We get out of here at 11:30 and she is giving me a ride home. I will have to get up at 5am to take Rich to work and the later on I'll head over to the house since they will be painting our bar wall. Ugh it's only 10 and we have 1 1/2 hours to go. :o(

Jan. is hot

Yes we are blessed. This weather is nicer than San Diego it seems. eheheheh LOL.No, it's real similar to SD. We have had summer like temps for the past two weeks. I can get up at 5am and walk the dog in my tank top or t-shirt and NO jacket. Today I put on a tank top and really wanted to put on my flip flops, but I need a pedicure so bad. I'll have to get one if this weather keeps up with temps in the high 70's. The evening and morning have fog and it feels so strange to see fog in FL. When we were living in Lemoore there was no question we would see fog this time of the year and it was really thick and horrible fog. Well, I'm just feeling a little spoiled with such beautiful weather here almost in the middle of Jan and some people are knee deep in snow. Will I ever get a chance to use my fire place?? Mianna is eager to use the fireplace to roast marshmellows and I'm not real sure if we can do that. HELP???? Anyone? LOL.
