Another Year SEXIER?!


Believe me, I haven't looked forward to this day at all!!! The word 'dread' is an understatement! Thank you to my bro./sis for the button "Another Year Sexier", which will forever be saved and remembered! Triple points for you guys!!! :) :) So, they say that 30 is the new 20??!!! Hmmm... didn't make me feel any better or younger! :)
I didn't picture my life to be as it is now. Not that it's even considerably bad... Life is wonderful! I just... had my life planned out!!!!! Ya know?! After graduating H.S. I would go to college and 'try' to get an education. LOL! :) In the meantime, wait or find the Love of my life (which I did!!!)... get married, work a little, start a family and be a mom!

Well!... I can now say, that obviously I'm not the one in charge! :) I've done my best! Life has brought many trials, tears of heartache and joy, triumph of accomplishments and 'Patience" is my middle name!!! I believe that God knew I couldn't make it much longer in Utah surrounded and swallowed up by children, so he sent us to Cali. where I fit in Perfectly with the odd balls!!! :)
I am "Seriously So Blessed"!!! :) And! I truly mean that!! :) :) :)
Anyhoo, it was fun to celebrate the 'big 30' with two people I absolutely love and admire with all of my heart!... My dear Mom and my Sweetie Pea! But, if I had one wish that day, it would've been to spend the whole day with all of my loved ones! Wait!... can I have one more wish???! OK!... that I had just a few more years until the Big 3-0! :) Hey!... I'm glad only two people witnessed the shedding of tears though!

All I have to say, is... there's gonna be some big changes within the next 10 years! Watch and see!!! :) :) :)

Reconsidering!!!.....


Honestly, I'm not into reading my Horoscope or Astrology signs! But!... it captured my eyes when I saw "Season of the Goat; What makes Capricorns tick"???! First of all, I didn't know I was a freakin' GOAT! :) Lol! And! I REALLY needed to know what makes me tick!!! :) :) So, here we go!......
When it comes to professionalism and traditional values, Capricorn wins hands-down. This practical sign loves to tackle life in the most conventional of ways, leaving no stone unturned. Considered the most serious-minded of the signs, the Capricorn possesses an independence that allows for considerable progress both personally and on the job. (Professionalism??! LOL! And, I love to tackle life, eh?!)

Combining a strong wit and a love of humor, the Capricorn makes for terrific company for those they choose as friends. They will surround themselves with people who are honest, loyal, and like-minded when it comes to working values. They cherish loved ones and will go any distance to help a friend or family member out. Traditional by nature, the Capricorn loves nothing more than holidays, such as Christmas, that bring people together with a variety of activities. Although a Capricorn isn't apt to have a large social circle, those included in this sign's life will find someone who is steadfast and true. Emotional displays are not common for a Capricorn. They would rather show how they feel through deed than express by word. ( How rude! :) Are they saying that I'm NOT funny?... and that I don't have friends/social circle???! LOL!)
Ambition is the key word for this sign. The key phrase for Capricorn is I use. The Capricorn possesses a real knack for finding the right tool for the job and getting down to it. Starting at the bottom of the ladder and working their way to the top doesn't scare the Capricorn off. They will go the distance once a goal is set. (This could possibly be true after I get through my daily cycles of ADD!!!!)
In addition to setting high standards for themselves, honesty, perseverance, and a dedication to duty make the Capricorn an excellent manager. Loyalty and a willingness to work as hard as necessary are qualities that this sign values greatly within themselves and in those around them. Careers in management, finance, teaching, and real estate are excellent choices. ( NOPE!... I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! just ask my hubby and CTR kids! They would agree!)
Capricorns are resourceful and manage their time and money well. Every now and then, the urge to spend some hard-earned cash can see this sign packing some large shopping bags with fun and frivolous items out of the store. But as a rule, caution goes hand in hand with the Capricorn making practical purchases more likely than anything else. Multifunctional items are definitely favored. (We tend to use that hard-earned cash before it's available!!!... But! I'm definitely a bargain shopper!!!) :)
The Capricorn is most often a serious lover preferring to take things slow and steady. You won't see this sign jumping into anything headfirst. Taking relationships one step at a time is the way of the Capricorn. Words can be few with this personality, yet action speaks volumes. The Capricorn values deeds and will go to great lengths to express their affections through them. They're great gift givers and don't bat an eye at the costs of spending a fantastic night out. Genuine and sincere, you can take what few words a Capricorn does say to the bank.
(I'm a lover not a hater! And that all you need to know about my love life!) :)

Turkey Day


Thanksgiving is always a TREAT!!! I mean really!... who can complain when you're given a day to indulge in delicious turkey, creamy mashed ta-toes and mom's famous banana and coconut cream pies! Oh, WOWZERS!!!!... they are to die for!
So... you can tell I love food, eh?! :) LOL! Well, I do!... however, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing my family! Although some couldn't make it, I can say that I am truly thankful to live close enough that we were able to see our loved ones!
Another thing that I Love about Thankgiving is that the "women" get to do a little project after our dinner. I know this is a real treat to those who have children too because the husbands get to take them to the park or swimming. Anyhow, mom always comes up with fantastic ideas for us to create and take home! Here is the beginning with Laura organizing her papers, ribbon, etc. and Brenda with the completed project. (they are a mini-photo album) They turned out so cute!!!

Thank You Mom & Dad for an amazing get together! We are so grateful for the relationship we share with you two! It's seems to just get better with time!... and it was wonderful to start with!!! We really missed Kev, Angela & Ryder and also Shawn, Jalayne & the kids!!!!!!!!
Yep!... a lil behind in the blogging!!! :) :) :)
Oh well! :)
