Roses Smoses

Yes, it's been a long time since my last post. Not having a computer at home is killing the whole bloggin experience. Our computer crashed a very long time ago and I will not let Scott format the hard drive without at least attempting to get all of my kids precious pics from it (no they were not backed up). We could have had our computer fixed the day after crashing, most likely. But I just can't allow it. Thus, the hard drive sits in our amoire awaiting to be examined by a professional and my random thoughts will be few and far between, on the blogsite anyway!

Back to the title....I'm guessing there are a few ladies out there that feel the way I do about Valentines Day. It really is not a big deal to me. Yes, I enjoy getting flowers and yes, I definately enjoy going out to eat and yes, I love jewelry and romantic gifts. But it just seems too fabricated to do this on Valentines Day. I would much rather my hubby send flowers to me on just any ol' day of the year when I'm not expecting them. Or wisk me off to dinner unexpectedly. As far as the jewelry goes.....Scott has covered that pretty well with all the jewels he has given me when he travels out of the country. We had a very nice romantic Valentine's this year....he was at school until 10:00 and I was at home watching American Idol (favorite show) and playing with Cassie. I baked chocolate chip cookies and ate left over mexican food from Blue Goose (favorite restaurant). At least I was up when he got home from school. So we did spend some quality time together talking and eating cookies and just enjoying each other's company. Can't wait until next Valentines Day! Love ya, honey!

Until next time....and who knows when that will be.

Three in a row....

Well, day #3 and I'm still blogging. We'll see how long it last. I wish I had a computer at home that worked, so I could actually sit and type real thoughts. Instead, I'm sneaking in a minute here and there at work.

But here we go....some real (random) thoughts:

Why is marriage so difficult sometimes, shouldn't it be easy with the one you love?
Why is it so difficult to get myself and family to communion once a month?
What would life be like without mexican food? (3 weeks ago, I would have said Dr. Pepper)
Who would have ever dreamed that I would be drinking water instead of DP...not me!

Speaking of DP....my habit is really like smoking. When I get stressed.....want a DP, when I'm excited.....want a DP, when I'm depressed.....want a DP. You name it, whatever mood I'm in, whatever kind of day I'm having, I WANT A DR. PEPPER. How insane is that? Are they really that addictive? The other morning, I was so stressed out with my 4 year old, I stopped and got a DP and a package of ding dongs and you would have thought I was a drug addict with a needle in my arm. They imediate relief and and the instant feeling of calmness came rushing over me....it was a great day! That is the only slip up I've had in a little over 3 weeks, so I'm pretty proud of myself. Now we have to figure out the whole food addiction thing and I think that will be a little harder. Would love to lose 20 pounds before my high school reunion, but doesn't everyone want to do that?

Enough rambling for the day, until next time......

This could be really addictive

I called my 18 year old son yesterday and told him that I signed up on blogger.com. He told me I should sign up for myspace instead. That it was much cooler. So I checked it out today while trying to get some work done and it's pretty cool if your a teen or if your single, but I signed up anyway. Reason being, that I found my 18 year old's myspace and couldn't send him anything w/out signing up and also found my nephews in NY and wanted to shock him and send him something as well. So I went from being totally out of touch to being pretty cool in a couple of days, if blogging and being on myspace makes you cool! I think it is going to take much more in my case, though. All that is left to do is add some pics of me and my wonderful family to both sites and I'm good to go......go where, I'm not really sure.

It is interesting to read other peoples thoughts....sometimes they are so random and sometimes they are really deep. Sometimes you just flat don't understand anything. But I love that I can go and listen to my son's music at any time.....he has them on his myspace and they are really good and I'm not just being mom. I love music and I love his music!

Until next time.....
