usual insomnia



We took a nice long walk near Mosquito Lake on a bike trail. It was another warm day. The weekend was fun. I got some really cute shots of Noah and Jake playing together while everyone else was watching the Browns game.




I ran off to super KMart at 11pm to buy a phone card so I can stop going nuts waiting for Josh to call. It's extremely easy for me to call him... I don't know why I didn't get one earlier. He has a cellphone (thank you Kevin!). Oh yeah, it was because he thought he'd have the internet and a land line by the 1st. Anyway, he doesn't and I woke him up 5 minutes before his alarm and he was delighted to hear my voice. I was equally delighted and I hated hanging up. Ima call him first thing in the morning :) I'm glad I'm in Ohio. It's constipating an emotional breakdown or something. It's like I am in perpetual vacationland. Now I just gotta figure out what to do from January to June.

On the upside of things; my very first car I ever had is going to be MY CAR this week. My dad bought out the title and is signing it over to me. I am going to continue to pay him the normal amount and drop some unnecessary insurance coverage on that bad boy. YAY for money!! Hopefully all it needs is a battery and a little tune up. It deserves some TLC. That Saturn is a great car. It took such a beating and is still running, more than 100,000 miles later. All the paperwork I need for our passports and bill-paying is arriving tomorrow (thank you again Kevin!). I am also going to call the Texas Workforce Commission and get all this unemployment benefit crap worked out. They haven't paid me once. I've been trying to resolve it via internet, but it's not possible. After everything is worked out all that's left to do is ride out my vacation until we get home and then make sure Noah's got all his shots and we're off to another vacation.

Why does my vacation feel so busy? No wonder I can't sleep. I don't think about any of this crap until bedtime. I'm an idiot. hahaha :) goodnight, all! I need to switch to USAA, Progressive charges too much... DANG! goodnight for real!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
