Spring!

I am so ready for Spring! This bi-polar weather is driving me crazy!

I HATE ANTS!!!

AHHHHH!!!!!!!! I am so sick of ants!!! This morning I was actually ready to leave on time for work and feeling good.... until I walked into my kitchen and spotted 2 flying ants. I turned my eyes down to where I have often had ants invade my house and there were millions of them! More than I had ever had in my house before! I tried to keep my words clean but it made me so mad!!!! I sprayed them with my ant raid killer and cleaned them up as much as I could. I didn't want to get down on my hands and knees because I was all dressed for work. I don't look forward to returning home and taking care of the rest!!!

San Diego

Well, I just got back from a wonderful vacation with my cousin JB to San Diego. We left on the 23rd and came home on the 28th. We stayed at a hotel that was just across the harbor from a Navy Base and saw quite a few ships headed out to sea.

Sunday we drove up to LA to visit JB's brother and his family. We had fun with the kids and after a nice family dinner drove back to San Diego.

Monday we jumped in the car with no real plans, but ended up in Old Town and had a lot of fun looking in all the little shops, ok, shopping in all the little shops. Monday night we watched the new Night at the Museum, which was great, and we are still quoting lines from the movie.

Tuesday we did some shopping at the mall and then enjoyed massages. Tuesday evening we went to dinner with JB's cousin and his girlfriend at this great place that overlooked the ocean.

Wednesday we did some site seeing at Cabrillo National Monument, Coronado Island and then we napped on the beach, and yes, I have a sun burn!

We had a great time, but it is nice to be back. Well, with the exception of the homework!

What I Am Really Good At

Well, obviously I am not good at keeping my posts up to date. My sister wrote something on here back in April, and I just now saw it. Needless to say, life has been busy. So, what am I really good at.... procrastinating homework!!! Yes, homework. I am starting back to school to get a doctorate degree in psychology, and I will do just about anything to avoid doing my homework!!! Even update my blog!
So, why am I going back to school.... funny thing. I have always wanted to get a doctorate degree and even looked into a few different programs over the years. Over the past few months my life has felt a bit out of control with so many things going on. I knew it was time for something to change. I considered switching jobs, moving out of state.... becomming homeless.... just about anything to get some type of change and feel like my life was more in control. So what did I do, well I prayed. Trust me, going back to school was not the answer I anticipated. I thought, maybe I'll get a big raise and only have to work one job, maybe I'll meet Mr. Right and he'll be rich... but no, the answer was to go back to school. My term started last week and I have a project due on Saturday and I'm having a difficult time getting back into the mindset of homework.
So, that's my latest life update. I hope you are all doing well!!!!

Bailey's New Friend

This week, Bailey gets to have a friend stay with us. Jared, a co-worker of mine, is out of town with his family, so his cute little dog Mushu, is staying with us. The two had never met before and in the past, Bailey hasn't done extremely well with other dogs, but he is loving his time with Mushu! I'm sure he is going to be very sad come Friday when his new little friend leaves.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas!!!

I can't believe it is here already! I hope you all have a wonderful time with your friends and family! I am celebrating in what has become my usual way, sick! For the past few years I've been in New York at my parents and ended up with strep throat or other diseases. Well, this year I decided to stay home, but it has not saved me from being sick. My good friend and past roommate of 5 years, after having to cancel a lunch with her due to strep and bronchitis, said, well it wouldn't be Christmas if you weren't sick. I hope this is a tradition I can end this year and one none of you try out!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just want to take a minute to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that each of you get to spend time with your friends and family. On a sentimental note, I have so much to be thankful for. I have so many wonderful friends that I couldn't imagine trying to get by without. Some of you have gone above and beyond this year for me and I am so thankful for you. My family is the greatest. This year I was able to spend time with both my mom and dad. My dad came in the summer and helped with some things around the house and made sure my yard was taken care of and that I had what I needed to be able to continue to enjoy it. Then a few months later, my mom came and did so much for me and left all of my cupboards full. I've been able to spend time with each of my siblings in thier homes this year and had the best opportunity an aunt could ask for by being with 2 nephews and 1 niece for their baptisms. I also have 1 new nephew and 1 new niece who have joined my family. My hearts is truely full of gratitude for all that I am blessed with.

Bailey's Birthday

Yes, I had a party for Bailey! All of his little friends got to come over and we had a great time!

The Cutest Star!

My cute little niece Sonora (3), is all about "Dancing with the stars!" She has her own version. You can't hear the music very well, but her moves are worth watching!!!
