Merry Christmas from Ely

Well I have to admit I had a first this Christmas. Ryan and I got stuck in a blizzard on a mountain pass. It was very interesting... I have never actually seen a blizzard before. We must love my desert rat self... Here are some pictures once we got back to the house and it was still snowing...

Path from the car to the house...Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas treeCan you see the stop sign?SunflowersYou can loose the car easilyThe trees are lost

Once there was a snowman snowman snowman...

Say hello to my Freah and Easy Snowman!!! He is 4 feet tall!!! Ryan was a HUGE help making him!!! Its coming down pretty hard...

Another snow day!!!! It snowed again today!!!

Well..

So here is how my lovely has been doing. For a week now Ryan has been sick. Congestion and just lots of mucus (gallons of it) Well come Wednesday Ryan decided it was necessary to pass it along to me... So for this week I have been cough cough cough... its annoying

Ryan and I have officially gotten a calling and thank god it wasn't nursery or primary!!! I think someone knew I would probably hate them for the rest of their lives and children would be in danger of me kicking them. Well we got called to teach the 12-13 year old class. I can handle that at least, I mean I was some of their volleyball coach. They are a bunch of squirrels. I think I might need to bring duck tape because they are quite um talkative...

In other news we are one person away from being completely done with Christmas shopping...

In other other news I have BIG NEWS!!!! IT SNOWED IN VEGAS TODAY!!!! I even go into a snow ball fight with Jenni and Kha! Oh it was fun!

Molly decided that she didn't want to go into the back yard...For some reason she demanded to go on a walk... don't ask me why. About half way through she decided she was cold and wouldn't walk anymore...Snowball with an ornament from the outside tree... The heater on the house has officially been turned on... now the house is 68 degrees. If it were any warmer I would probably be annoyed. It has been a nice 60 degrees in the house every morning.

I need a book to listen to on the way up to Ely... suggestions?

er?

So I'm happy people are goobers. I like driving home and seeing houses decked out in lights. I think I surprised some people at work because I was singing along with the Christmas songs. It's December 1st its allowed!!!

I'm glad I got off work early because now I can try to wind down and hope I will fall asleep before one... But my sciatic nerve is killing me so I doubt I will be falling asleep anytime soon...

Thanksgiving

So my thanksgiving wasn't necessarily the *BEST* Thanksgiving on record for me due to the weather. On Wednesday it started to rain which meant headache... Everyone in my family gets headaches if the wind changes directions. It was nice to have Cathy, Rob and Hedi here. So going into the holiday itself wasn't necessarily the greatest but I got to see John!!! I love it when Johns home.

I don't think everyone feels the same way that I do about about Christmas. I truly think that there's a time and place for Christmas in general. December 1st I'm the first in line for it. But let another holiday finish before you bum rush it in. I will listen to it right now with out wincing. Pre-December it does the same thing to me like 70's music... it gives me a headache for more than three songs in a row.

So Cadbury... huge really isn't a big enough word for it. We are still eating on him...

So the day of I got a massive MASSIVE headache. I had to go lie down for a good hour before I could even function for a while. I played rummy with Ryan (while holding my head up because it felt like my head was imploding... mind you this was 7 pain killers later) I'm really cute when I cheat... Sorry I will cheat playing cards but when I'm seeing double I think I'm allowed to cheat. After a while of that we brought out apples to apples and everyone played apples to apples until we had gone though every single card in the entire deck. That is a fun game....

And Friday.... err Friday sucked. I got a call at on 2 AM!!!! I went into work because some freaking idiot decided to hit a pole and get live electrical lines to lie in the street. Yeah so I was at work on Friday from 2am to 1:30pm. Let me tell you its a scary thought to think of having to waste out everything refrigerated. Thank goodness that our store holds cold fabulous and keeps energy long enough to not loose everything. We finally got real power back to the store right while I was leaving the store...

Oh and by the way in case you wanted to know the window to my bedroom is always open. The window at the front of the house... so I can hear EVERYTHING said with in a three house stretch of our house. Yep... I can hear everything until you get into your car. Yep. Everything.

So I think this sums up my views

He said it perfectly everyone must go and enjoy this

Help...

So I have a problem that I think is annoying my husband. Whenever I wake up when I haven't woken myself up... I'm extremely cranky and it might take me up to two hours to either wake up or to become uncranky... Its like theres nothing I can do for it. It annoys me that I get cranky... and its every. single. time...

So how in the world do i not be cranky?

So I got bored... and i love them

Annoyed...

I am officially annoyed by who ever got me sick. I look completely fine but its completely my stomach. Its annoying, every five minutes it wretches. I call out of work because of it on Friday and I really should have yesterday too but I felt guilty and went into work. I hate Pepito... I have a thing about liquid medicine... ewww.... minty nastiness

Twilight

So twilight was amazing! We showed up to get into line around the end of eight. We got into the first part of the line. Aliante theaters... Jenni and I got bored and I discovered that I have no skill at sonic the hedgehog on my cell phone. It was rather entertaining with the people in line. I never got to see the full length of the line but I know it was HUGE. Somehow I managed to get tickets to the imax showing so I was rather happy. Jenni noticed a lot of different people there. The movie... Really good! I might go see it again soon... I cant wait to see the money it brought it!

Just incase you wanted to know

WE BEAT SAN MEGUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We won both games... I slightly wanted to kill who ever was going the cheers... rather annoying. But we won! We are now the stake champions!!! hehehehehehe... now my throat is sore because I was screaming alot... Now I'm off to twilight

Its november

Why oh why is it currently 72 degrees outside? Its mid november and its still in the 70's at night!!! That is all

Bath doggy

Well my team is in the finals for volleyball. Its kind of nice to have at least four girls who are on the school team playing on the ward level. We play Sanmegel next week if by some chance they don't win (which I severely doubt) I'm not sure who they will play. The game is Thursday which I'm rather glad I already asked off from work (TWILIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!!!) so I can make it...

Well I seem to be the designated Molly washer (I'm sure I'm the only person in her lifetime to wash her) So today I decided to chronicle it... I found it funny, why not! You have a digital camera why not chronicle the dog?

This is her Prebath. (yes my hair is red, not as red as it used to be. Embrace it love it get over it) I personally think Molly is indifferent to the bath. I think she enjoys the attention that she gets from the bath but she doesn't like the whole getting wet and sprayed aspect of it. If you notice quite closely in corner you will notice the time with Obama on it... Only the dog enjoyed that issue

This is her look look as I just put her in the tub. This is her pre-soap look. She doesn't mind just standing in the water... She just kind of is cute

This is her covered in soap moment. She doesn't like this part quite so much. She tries to escape at this point... Every time... Rather cute because she isn't big enough to hop out of the tub when she is dry and empty never the less when its partially full of water, so this is as far as she can muster.

Oh happy day! Now she can be a moses dog and hide in her towel!

A lot has happened

Well life took an interesting turn...

I had a blond moment last Saturday, I left my debit card on my break room table thinking hey I'll just go grab it before I leave. Well I completely forgot it on the break room table and thought nothing of it, I let the next manager know and told him to throw it in the safe. Well he couldn't find it and so I thought oh he just didn't look, I looked Monday and left a note to have them give it to me if they found it not thinking of anything. Come Friday I looked on the web and noticed that the account was off... well they spent $80 on my card at a gas station. It is rather funny. I went to the bank and got the money back and filed fraud claim then I went and filed a police report. I'm so excited!!! I GET TO HIRE SOMEONE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I'm not completely outraged. The person was so stupid about it. A gas station? Do you know how many cameras are in a gas station? Do you know how fast I'm going to hire you then you are going to be thrown in jail? Over a hundred dollars? HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

In other work news there was a water main that broke in front of my store and had the water turned off for two hours. It almost made the refrigeration turn off... Stressful day but I got a fabulous complement from the regional manager, the district manager and the assets protection guy in charge of the entire company. I swear I was on the phone with him at least 11 times in a three hour period.

God FORGIVE our country

We are going to get attacked.... =*(

Seriously?

So there was a lovely woman walking around leaving "vote for me" fliers on the street... the day of election! So I went outsidefollowed her down the street gave her back her stupid little flier and told her not to litter at my house...

Sunday naps

I love sunday naps that leave the entire house quiet and still, for a a few hours on Sunday... It always makes people have better moods

oh yes

I am getting rather excited about twilight... its only 19 days so far... hehehehe

I had to work tonight... like I had to close it was rather annoying. I mean I have a life and to have a long Halloween night stuck inside a store was boring. my saving light was my mom, Keith and my Ryan came and saw me. I had two costumes today one was princess I was in a dress with teirra and everything. I realized about two hours into work I was going to go crazy with out pockets so I changed into my other costume which others didn't really get. I became a vampire... lol!!! I mean come on I'm pale to begin with all I changed was I added some glitter... hehehe! I'm such a dork!

In other news the babies are now laying eggs! They seem to be enjoying the time on the farm.

Other than that I'm not having the easiest time in my life... Every one has their own struggles in life and mine seem to smack me in the face with every turn... People just don't understand it until they go through it and its not something talked about much I think...

Other than that life seems to be going good. I got tot talk to John the other day. I miss having my baby brother around to talk to all the time. He always seems to make me laugh...

Oh in case you didn't know my current hair color is red. I like it a lot I think Its going to stay this color for a while. Its not as strong as it originally was but that's because red doesn't stay... it tends to wash out...

I AM SO READY FOR ELECTION TIME TO GET OVER WITH ALREADY!!!! Seriously? Every single stinking commercial is freaking vote for me! vote for me! this persons evil so vote for me!!! GAH!!! I hate stupid elections....

I know I dropped off the face of the earth again

Well Christmas came early for me. My books came early, they came last Saturday instead of on the 28th so of coarse that means even though I have read all of the three books before hand I went head first into breaking dawn and finally came up for air yesterday. Yes I read a 750 page book in under 72 hours, with also working a couple of days too. I need a new book series to read... Any ideas? I need a new series with in a month because I'm going to reread the series then after that nothing more to read... I completely didn't see anything from that book coming but I loved it! If it would have been 2000 pages I probably would have liked it more because I'm sad that the series is over... I don't see midnight sun ever coming out.

What do you think about my little new baby baby?

I'm so sad

So I had a nice day with my chicken Chloe, I chicken napped her and brought her into the kitchen and she took a nap on my lap. We had a grand time she even went around the floor with molly...
well got got a knock on the door today from animal control. We have to get rid of the chickens and the turkey. I'm sad, we have to kill the turkey early and we have to find someone to take our chickens. I don't mind too much about killing the turkey but I'm so sad that we are loosing the chickens... I loves those chickens and i cant keep them...

Tis the session

Tis the session molly doesn't like us.
She's so small and not hairy that she gets really cold so we put clothes on her... its kind of funny, she's getting so fat that we cant completely close her jacket...

Ok so I believe you

I love this movie

I love lortab

I hate hormones... and due to my hatred of hormones come my extreme love of lortab... I think come Monday I'm going to ask my doctor to write me a new prescription for it because my stash is running out quickly ... and the sad thing is that's the only thing that works half the time...

Ryan and I have noticed our laptop well was getting old and had a couple of things we didn't like. Well Ryan being the computer genius that he is has been looking at sales on laptops for a while and the planets aligned and we got a new laptop this night. its really nifty!

http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?seg=HHO&poid=425900&tab=gallery

I like it alot! I actually love it! I'm glad I have a husband who knows a lot and knows the information I wouldn't know to get us correct things. We are going to sell our old laptop on ebay as soon as we get all our files off of it. One thing I uber love about this computer is it has the coolest mouse pad it is smooth and continues into the bottom, I've never seen anything like it before.

So in continuation of my cat thinking that he either

a: owns my bed or

b: is the king and owns the world or

c: all of the above

I believe this is proof

Now picture this every night... He hasn't gotten onto his silky green pillow yet but you see how his attitude is. He is worth it though! I love my kitty!

So my view in the economy... I like the lower gas prices but I have a feeling that its going to get a lot worse before its going to get better. I think its the perfect example of the pride cycle

Give me a V-O-L-L-

so I had my first volleyball game as a coach tonight. I know all the girls so it was kind of fun. Evidently all I do is sit there. I think I need to set some ground rules for these girls like tennis shoes or sports bra... You would think they would realize... on well I'm not too interested. Needless to say we murdered them, like it wasn't even fair... it was like 25 to 2... they had four girls on their team we had like 10... Yeah poor them they sucked two games were done in like twenty minutes.

I am hyper.... one monster at ten this morning still has me bouncing off the wallz. Bwahahaha!

Oh and the response I keep getting from people with my last medical entry... I'm not dying, I'm not pregnant even though I keep having weird cravings (tonight it was McDonald's ice cream) I'm not green or falling apart. I swear if you look at me you'll know its nothing to worry about... so don't look for my last will and testament for a few more years. and when I die if ANYONE puts carnations on my grave I will come back, hit you, then die again. That is one flower I seriously hate with every fiber of my being. I think its a dead person flower, give me lilies or something never carnations.

I deem I want to clone my cat. He's perfect, right now he's sleeping on my pillow. I wont have to clone him though, he's going to live forever!!!

I looked out my window and what did I see? Fat little children staring back at me! Ok not at me but they were sitting on the wall staring at the turkey. I secretly hoped they would fall then the turkey would run up and bite them!!! Ok that sounds bad... It would be funny to watch... You have to admit, a butterball being bitten by a butterball!

I decided I'm a freak

So I just figured out that I'm a freak... I'm serious. I think I'm a little bit off.

I have had an uncontrollable craving for hot chocolate and blueberry muffins that have come straight from the oven with butter on top... I have drank almost an entire box of hot chocolate and I've done two batches of muffins and have three boxes of back ups in the cabinets and have made it two mornings in a row. My hot chocolate has carmel with whipped cream on top... its completely yummy! I am so glad we bought the hot chocolate maker last year it saves so much time and it makes me so happy!

Did i mention its been 80 degrees in Vegas lately?

I know I've been bad

So I know I haven't been updating at all lately. I've been bad I fully understand it. I don't feel like I can completely tell everyone whats going on health wise? Well I've been back to the doctor twice now, my rx has changed once, they took away my diet and now... its going to be a long road to being fixed which wont be near done til January which i have another doctors appointment (i have an ultrasound come Wednesday next week which I'm not counting) so unless you want to hear all the heart wrenching details I'm no going to go into it because I think it will raise a few too many questions that I'm not sure I want to have the entire family deal with.

I got a calling, and you might laugh. I'm now the young women's volleyball coach. I'm going to be able to go to the next game but I'm sure its going to be interesting. I think they chose me because I'm young and I loved playing volleyball when I was able to. I think I still played mid surgeries. (I limped badly and didn't look or do it cute...) I love volleyball... I tend to dive to balls... I still think I'm too scared to play it hard core.

I'm a dork, I just preordered the whole box set hard covered book set of twilight series, all four books. I got it for like $40 so its like half off... so happy! But I wont get them til the end of October but its in a cool box set.

Work has been... eh I guess you could say stressful. Still like my job but the girls at the kitchen table are drama filled. I don't think everyone is at the maturity level they should be. I guess I've always been more mature than others my age... I guess its because I've had a very... Hard life from very early on. (weird story when I was two my mom let me pour my own oatmeal water... I didn't scar but if that helps get a grasp on how my life started out...)

Facebook is a very interesting thing. I hate it but I like it still a little bit. More of my family is on facebook but I much prefer myspace over it.

?

So.. I'm very interested in this diet that the doctor put me on... Since last monday so seven days I've lost ten pounds. I'm slightly confused. I know the diebetic pills they put me on are surely helping but still ten pounds in seven days?

Also I'm slightly obsessed with twilight series. two weeks and I'm three books in.

One point or Aunt Kris

Well Kris correctly diagnosed me with what she though was wrong. I'm now six viles of blood down and two rx's up and one diet i have to follow... err oh well.

eh...

I'm a little worse off than yesterday but I made it through work last night so I'm sure I will make it through tonight. I've never had a boss call and ask if I was going to call in. I'm sure I sound horrible so I didn't sound convincing with the " you know I don't call in" and my other weak response of "that's why there are drugs" so I'm going to truck off to work. Evidently this lovely morning i woke up with a fever...

Am I complaining? Not really...

I understand

I now understand the big hoopla around the Twilight series. I read a five hundred page book in two days. (on my trip) and now it will be a few days before I order the remaining books and have them arrive. I have also noticed that with the constant traveling I have put myself through my fragile immune system has had a mild break down. I wouldn't say I'm sick I would just say... I'm about 60%. Headache, sore throat, and I'm congested... Blah

Yippie!

Oh I just got back from Utah. Oh I loved being there. It was too bad that Ryan had to work and couldnt make it or else that would have been just that much more fun. It was interesting to see family that I havent seen since I was three. I liked seeing people who I read their blogs. I like talking with Aaron and Kara. I got a bunch of new phone numbers that I am very happy I can randomly text. I got to read a big chunk of twilight. I understand why so many people love the series. I LOVED staying with Jeremy and Nichole. Owen is so much fun! I never realized how much of an arm he could have. It was nice to just sit and talk to Jeremy. I got the opertunity to give Nichole a back/shoulder/neck/head rub. It actually didnt annoy me I enjoyed it. I got three pairs of earrings out of it. Next time I go there I will more than likly do it again and thats with out the bribe to do it. I love that girl! We need to head up there more often! Or have then come down. We are going to have a dead turkey!

OOOHHH!!! I RAN INTO SARAH AT THE MALL!!! It was a little unexpected. I didnt know she lived there never the less run into her!

As I promised

Well we left for Alamo on Saturday once I got off of work. We made it in and it was the cutest little place ever! We stayed at the windmill Ridge. Not bad food I must admit. Three beds and ... just cute!

Well the next morning we left and made our way to Ely. on the way up we were listening to comics because why not listen to Larry the cable guy? We got in around noon? I think it was noon... it doesn't really matter. Well I'm not sure how but the fondue machine came out. It was rather funny how it all ended up.

It turned into a theme of the week that all the siblings played Nintendo 64, it switched from star fox to Mario cart. I must admit I can kick the boys butt in Mario cart.

We got everything ready for a big camping trip. Got the go carts ready and the trailer ready to go.

We left on Tuesday to go to the hot springs. Set up camp, got into swimming attire and headed down to the hot springs. When you head to the hot springs and the surrounding areas it does not look like there is a natural water area there, it kind of just looks dead. It was so much fun to just swim around. It wasn't the deepest place to swim but it felt so nice! Tommy went exploring in the father around the springs.

After a nice swim we decided to go fishing. Woo Hoo. (please feel the sarcasm) Evidently no body who has been camping where we went caught a fish. no body. I sat there and read my book son of a witch. I might not go fishing again but at least I can say I went fishing. Some of the kids got a bit bored and found different things to fiddle with.

Everyone went go cart riding. People were coming up with excuses just to drive them. "I need to get water" they just went driving everywhere. I kind of felt bad for the other people camping there because they tended to kick up a lot of dirt if they didn't drive slowly through camp.

After dinner there was an amusing rabbit hunt. I say amusing because have to ever seen boys with guys going after rabbits? You have never have lived until you see hyper boys chase ugly rabbits around.

The next day we went swimming again... Can you say we got lobster fried? For some reason it was a rambunctious people wanted to play with tadpoles. Poor little tadpoles is all I'm going to say about it. Micheal and Tommy decided to attack Ryan while swimming. It was rather funny. Also Emily was dragging everyone around like a tug boat.

We had everyone there for dinner that night. It was really good, spicy but good.

We headed back to Ely on Thursday severely sun burnt and tired. I think all the camping tuckered Ryan out because he crashed for quite a while after we got back.

Friday I helped out Dad by helping set up his classroom. I did the bulletin boards. I put up colored paper to make the room look better. I even checker boarded a couple of areas because I though that it would look really cool. It took forever to do but it turned out great! We also had a teacher cook out BBQ thing in a park. They had some good chicken! It was fun tho!

Saturday Ryan and the boys helped moving a fireplace out to replace it. I was quite heavy. We also went shooting. The big gun scared me but I got over it. we headed out to go home. A slight hick up one of our tires had gotten a hole in it. Ryan drove it down to the local tire place and got it all fixed up. We made it home safe with out anything going wrong.
