finally

Things are finally starting to come together. Our garage will be ready for primer and paint next weekend, ceiling texture the next weekend and then install lights and shelves. Yeah!! That means that a lot of the "junk" in our basement will be making its way out to the garage!! Really this is all about me, I know it sounds funny because the garage is my DH's space. Once things start to move out of my basement then I might, just maybe, have some space to organize my scrapbooking stuff so that I can actually work on some things instead of just dreaming about them. I'm so excited I can hardly wait. Oh and I was looking at shelves online at Ikea, they are too cute and would work perfectly for all my scrapbook things. I guess I have waited for 2 1/2 years, what is it going to matter if it takes another 4 weeks. Don't worry, there will be pictures when things are done.

:(

So I love my dog...but last night she came bounding down the stairs as I was bringing groceries in, she ran into me so hard that I dislocated my right knee. This is not necessarily something new, my knees have been doing this for over 10 year, but the difference this time was that my knee cap stayed out, normally it pops back in. OMG I had forgotten just how bad that hurts. We ended up calling the ambulance because it wasn't going back in. Finally, because I was shaking so bad it did go back in, but by that time it had stretched everything so bad. The ambulance took me to the hospital to have it checked out and now I'm wearing a splint and on crutches until it heals :( This really puts a damper on things. I can't do anything, I feel so useless, and being on percaset doesn't help my usefulness. Hopefully this heals fast and hopefully things don't come in threes because I don't want anymore.

ugh

I feel like hell! Had minor surgury yesterday and was fine until about 9:00pm. Then the freezing started to wear off and the pain is ridiculos. I didn't sleep at all last night, was out of bed at 6:30 throwing up because of the pain and the meds and now it is 8:15 and I've already thrown up 2 more times. This really sucks, I can barely move, in so much pain and I'm hungry, but I know I will just end up throwing that up too. Hopefully I can fall asleep and waste the day away and not think about the pain. Just thought I would record how crappy I feel :(

So I know I am a procrastinator, and I know that I can be lazy sometimes, but this blog just doesn’t get enough of my attention. I think I’m going to try to update it more often, but with smaller posts, maybe that will get me going?!?

So Christmas and New Years have long since passed as well as my 26th birthday (oh my, where did 26 years go?) and Valentines Day. Christmas was wonderful and full of visiting with family. New Years was a night to remember only through pictures, spent with great friends. My birthday was also wonderful, had a full weekend of dinners and drinks and visiting with family (minus Jossy and Jared  Miss you guys so much) and friends. We decided to do nothing for Valentines Day, no cards, no gifts, just time spent at home with each other and Molly, and it was just as good as any other year!!

We have done some painting and decorating in our house as well as starting to clear out the clutter! So far it has been going really well. We each have gotten rid of over half of our clothes because they don’t fit anymore (such a good feeling to know that we are both a lot smaller and healthier!!) I love how our house is finally turning into our home after almost 3 years of living here. It is a relief!!

So now it is time for my rant……Sometimes I just don’t get people. People who say one thing and do something else. People who mishandle their money and then complain about it. People who think they are better than everyone else. People who make excuses. People who don’t support their family and friends. People who don’t return phone calls. People who don’t acknowledge other people because they have their heads too far up their own ass to give a shit about anyone else. Why don’t people just take charge of their lives, take responsibility and make a change. What happened to simple smiles, notes and phone calls to acknowledge that someone else is there and that you appreciate that person and the things they do. I feel like I put all this time and effort into making my life better and fuller and to making other people know that I enjoy their company and that I care and it just doesn’t seem to be reciprocated. Why is that? Am I supposed to stop caring?

Now that February is more than half over we have a lot of things to look forward to in the next bit: Josh has a ride-a-long with the Police for recruiting, Josh’s birthday is on February 27, a much needed visit from Jossy, more spring cleaning and hopefully some nicer weather!

OverDue

So I have taken my sweet time in getting back to this blog. There just doesn't seem to be enought time these days to get everything done that is on my to do list. Can you believe it that it is the middle of November and that in the blink of an eye it is going to be Christmas (and that Jocelyn and Jared are going to be home!!! :) ) At the beginning of December me and Josh are going to Calgary for 3 days so Josh can have laser surgury on his eyes and so we can get a little bit of shopping done! So excited for both. But I am a little jelous, I want to wake up and be able to see in the mornings too. Maybe next time.

So here are some new pictures of Molly (we had her fixed 2 weeks ago and she is doing great) and the finished front of our house (so glad the dirt is gone, and I'm so happy with how it turned out). I also bought new Christmas ornaments (they are in the last picture of Molly in the spare bedroom) And I've included some pictures from our halloween party, it was so much fun!

Thats all for now, I'll put up some more pictures when we get our Christmas decorations up. I'll let everyone know how Josh's surgury goes. Until next time...

P.S. Can't wait for you to come home Jossy!! xoxo
