Tripping Over Cobblestone

It is 11:16 and my children are still awake.

January 7, 2008 – 8:27 pm

    OH shoot me now. I have no skills when it comes to bedtime. Esp. when we had three hour afternoon naps. I am just going to say this. The ability to run my washing machine, vacume, and dishwasher worth it. I just found out that there are those in Chico tonight who have been out of power since Friday and won’t get it turned on until EARLIEST Wed. Folks now that is just sad.

    The Band finds out if he was offered a new position that would provide more income and BENIFITS!! He has been going to school people. It has been one long starve fest. Ok not really but we haven’t had real benifits for all of us since I can’t even think back that far!!

    That should be tomorrow. I am so excited!

Everyday Posting at it’s Best!

October 24, 2007 – 8:41 pm

    There comes a time in every blogger’s life when posting is the right thing to do. Now is that time.

Story of the Band 

    This afternoon my Band was on the phone with the Credit Union trying to shift some funds. The sweet girl on the phone begins discussing the fees during a wire transfer. This is how the conversation went. See if you can guess which State our Credit Union used to be in….

Band: Well do you have a Credit Union transfer that is free?

Bank Employee (We’ll call her Donna): You will want to check with the financial Institute that you’ll be sending the funds from. I know that our Institute charges 8.50 to wire funds.

Band (biting a big chunk of his lower lip, as to not laugh): Is there a fee that is attached to recieving a wire transfer?

Donna: No not at this Institute. 

    *To which my Band made a swift close to the call and started laughing, HARD. When being LDS gets in the way of your professional vocabulary skills…that is good blog fodder.

   ** For the Non-LDS crowd….. Institute is like LDS bible school in college. How ever Institution was probably the word she was looking for.

Ok I can See now….

November 15, 2006 – 8:16 am

    In my last post the person who was "Praying"……I am so sorry I wasn’t more specific. It was my Husband. He is natorious for being grumpy in the morning. Sorry guys. Details are not my strong point lately.

 The whole video of Thing1 totally would throw me off the trail as well.

There are some days that start off RIGHT.

November 8, 2006 – 7:18 pm

    So I am laying in bed and can hear the pitter patter of my son and the stirrings of my daughter. I roll over and pat my husband’s back.

    "Let’s say prayers", I was enthused to hear the response more than anything.

    "Do you want me to say it?", says the voice from between the pillows.

    "Sure," my distinct tone of delight was clear.

    "Ok……Dear Heavenly Connecticut……..Mummble…Thank thee for… Connecticut.

I finally figured how to include this tid bit into the bloggy!

Tuesday Toughness!!

April 11, 2006 – 10:52 pm

    Fuel for my body seems to have a theme. Artifical Flavors, Sugar, and good old fashioned carbohydrates. I have been bless with a fantastic motabolism. I know that this will all end the day I turn thirty. So I have been living it up while I can. I also tell myself foolish lies like "I will not have any consequences for my neglectful eating habits"& "My small frame will always be like this 4-ev-er."

    My body now is trying to preform some major feats. Like 60 minutes straight of 1983 versions of the "FIRM". The perm solution has definately caused some neural connections to miss fire. I have been doing the "FIRM" for two workouts now and have decided to test out the small guarentee on the box.

    "Visible results in only 10 workouts"

    If there are no visible results in 10 workouts I am done with the Hightops-leg-warmer- and- really- high cut -liatard- wearing instructors and going to the gym. I know that there have been some major fitness changes in the past 20 years but I still think it is fun.

  Why you ask? FUN to workout?? What is this non-sense she speaks of??

    One word …… BAND. Watching my Band do the ball room dance moves as I am a total clutz is highly entertaining. His coordination is amazing. I can’t do half the moves and default to running in place, as to not injur myself with a trip or fall.  All the while my Band is two stepping, sashaying, fanning, and simutaniously executing perfect Jazz Hands. 

    So we only have eight more work outs baby. Maybe the next 4 we will add some weights. Once again, I am putting in my flakeout disclaimer ….No results, no more working out with "The Firm".

   So no I am not going to be eating as bad as normal cause my body needs some better fuel than the low octain it has been fed for so long.

P.S. this maybe my last post, for when The Band reads this I am dead!!!
