Day 2 - A picture of myself with the person I have known the longest

Well, besides my family, I have known this crazy beautiful girl the longest. I met her in 4th grade when I was 9 years old. I was the not so shy new girl and Karen was the ever so shy teacher’s pet. The teacher asked Karen to take me on a tour around the school and we’ve been friends ever since. This girl has been there for me in any and every situation you could think of. Through thick and thin. I have never known another friend like Karen. She makes me laugh, hugs me when I cry, and has even taken care of me in many fashions.. I would not be who I am today if it were not for her. Thank you Karen, for being there for me. LOVE YOU LOTS.

What the heck.... Wednesday.

I decided to post pictures that make me go WHAT THE HECK!? Hope you enjoy

EEEKK, What the heck??

HaHaHa, What the heck??

What the heck, who would do that?

Uh, what the heck?

What the heck? Why is he naked?

What.The.Heck?

What the..... WAIT, how'd that get in there???

The family

I have dubbed new nicknames for my two favorite boys at home. Let me first give you a few definitions:

Destruction - the concept of damage to an object, system, or being.
Destructo - my one and a half year old son

Handyman - a person skilled at a wide range of repairs, typically around the home.
Hottie - an alternative form of the word "hot", meaning a very sexually attractive young man or woman.
Handy Hottie - my loving husband.

It's Flu Season... Do you know where your medicine is?

Yes, I got it. I got the flu. I actually got the stomach flu. Lovely right? I was in and out of the bathroom for 10 hours the other day. I even asked my Handy Hottie (aka: the husband's new nickname) if he would "please nail my coffin shut". I thought I was going to die. How does your body have that many fluids to produce when you are SURE there can't be another drop of liquid in your stomach?

Poor Destructo (the baby's new nickname) didn't know what to think about me avoiding him, running past him in the hallway and slamming doors in his face. All he wanted was a hug and I didn't even have that to give.

After the 10 hours, I finally started to feel some what up to coming out of my hiding hole. I attempted to go to work the next day but my body was in no way going to allow me to jump back into the swing of things that quickly. I ended up leaving work early, having chicken noodle soup (the first food I had eaten in over 36 hours), and taking a nap. But now, I'm back. I'm alive. Thank you Handy Hottie for NOT nailing my coffin shut and sending me to my early grave.

Back from Daytona

Well, I'm back. I'm back to work, back to the real world, back to Missouri, and BACK TO THIS BLOG. I have finally decided, THIS is my new year's resolution. Blogging. I can do it.

I went to Daytona for a little vacay. Destructo stayed behind in the care of my inlaws and man was that tough. I missed the kid like crazy. Florida weather was so nice, 75 degrees each day. People were swimming in the ocean. The streets were crowded with tourists. I got to experience the Daytona 500. I also got two tattoos while I was there. My favorite part of the trip was this town called St Augustine http://www.augustine.com/, I could walk around all day in that town. They had shops and fudge stores, taverns and resteraunts. An old fort, jail, and wooden school house. The pirate museum, Rippleys Believe It or Not museum, and an alligator farm. I hope to go back to this town someday and see even more of its beauty.

A Snowy Tuesday

Destructo has a new sled and today there is snow on the ground!!!! BUT... I have to work. We will have to wait until this evening to break in the bobsled.

Let me tell you what a great start we had to our new year.
The debate... to go out or to stay home.
Destructo went to bed at 7pm, so the Handy Hottie stayed home and I stopped by a friends house. I was home by 10:30 so we put in a movie. We were both asleep by 11, woke up at 11:56, watched the ball drop, said happy new year, kissed and went to bed.

Ice day!

Last night it rained and froze over. The streets and driveways were a sheet of ice. Schools were closed and my clients canceled. So today Destructo and I stayed in our jammies and.....

we baked cookies,

swept the kitchen floor,

took a water break,

gave love where it was needed,

and did some laundry.

It was a good day!!!
