Ridin' the Range
Thanks Kim...I finally have a good title!!
Hope all is well everywhere. I am actually having a pretty good week....even though it is only Tuesday. I had a great weekend. Went to a scrapbook crop on Saturday and even though I had to leave a bit early, it was well worth it. I never have time to just sit and devote to my scrapbooking with no kids coming in and stuff. I will definately have to do that again. We have been helping Marc & Mari paint their new house. I spent the day on Saturday pulling off wallpaper with about 60 kids....oh wait it was only 3. Then on Sunday we spent the whole day painting. I am so happy for them and their new house. It is really nice. I wish they hadn't bought it because it wouldv'e been perfect for my sister when she moves here. But I am sure another will come up.
Work has been crazy. It is amazing though how much more money comes in when I am able to be here more....imagine that!! I am getting sick of working though. My housework is lacking. Thank God we have alot of clothes because doing laundry once every 2 weeks is about all I have been able to do. I need a maid. Man that sounds bad. Its amazing how your views on life change. I used to be a penny pincher and now my views have changed. I guess I have changed a lot in the past 6 years that I have been with Chris. I have grown up some and I also think that I have lost a little bit of my former self there too. I used to love to dance and go out to clubs and I guess when you get married you stop all that. My friend Jamie wants to go out and I mentioned it to Chris and he said "like to a club?" It was almost like he didn't want me to go. Why when you have taken vows with someone...does the trust not always follow? Is that how all men are? Are they insecure? I wonder about that sometimes.
I have been listening to some new musicians lately. One is Ray LaMontagne and the other is James Blunt. I love Ray. He sounds like a old blues man, but I think he is like 25 years old. Really great. Check out "trouble" by him. Then James Blunt is a folksy kind of singer. He is good too. Great songs by him are "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover". I love music. It brings back sooo many great memories and some painful ones too. There are numerous songs that brings me back to a moment in my life. "louisiana Saturday Night"......is one that makes me smile. Just a good 'ol country song. Something made me think of that just now....
Sushi Friday night!!! Woo Hoo. My teeth finally don't hurt...so I will be strapping the feed bag on!! Martini's for everyone!!
Jimmy...so glad to here about your dad. I knew everything would be okay. Let me know if we win the millions!!
Amy....you sooooo get mom when she is old and feeble. I am DONE!!
Kim...please sing me another song. Backyardigans is getting old :)
Jeri....can't wait to crop at your house!!

Digging James Blunt. Good call again. Now I need like a million CDs to burn all these albums onto. Thanks for keeping my dad in your thoughts. Will keep tabs on our millions ASAP.

Mom just wants her "rich" son in law to take care of her. Ha ha. As for the trust thing. . .I don't know. I think because of that time Greg & I broke up, we were able to really know that we wanted to be together. I never have felt he would stray (although everyone else in his gene pool seems to) and he has never been jealous or untrusting either (not like I am beating men back with sticks, but still). I think while we all grow up with marriage and kids, Chris still has a bit o' bachelor in him and probably some old insecurities. Just a guess. PS. Mom annoys long distance too, it is just easier to ignore her :)

Castaways...we are castaways.
Ahoy there! Ahoy!! We are castaways. We're stuck were we are, with no house no car. Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways.
We were out at sea, on a sailing trip. The rain began to rain, and the wind began to whip. We felt the ship tip, it was going down. So we launched our lifeboats, so we wouldn't drown.
Castaways, we are castaways. Ahoy there!! Ahoy!! We are castaways. On an island at sea. Just me, me, and me. Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways!!
You asked for it. That's another of Kendall's favorites. Enjoyed the sushi last night. Jeff had to make a stop at Braum's in Norman on the way home to top himself off. Have to do it again soon!!!!

How sad is it that I knew all the words to that song by heart??!!

That is sooo sad. Glad you enjoyed the sushi. Can't believe Jeff needed to top him off. Of course Chris had a big ass cinnamon roll at the Donut Shop when we got home. It must be a guy thing. Looking forward to Jeri's Saturday night...are there drinks there?
2:40 PM
We've always talked about having frosty beverages, but it's kind of dangerous to be trying to crop and drink at the same time, you know?? Plus, we'd get sleepy way too early if we were drinking!!!
