Band Names

Living in San Diego for a long time, Dave and I became huge fans of the morning talkshow Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw. One of their catchphrases was "that's the name of my new band" anytime there was a funny weird phrase. Dave and I have at least one of these moments a month when one of us will say it. I've decided to keep a running list.... so on boring nights we can run through them and laugh at the memories of those conversations. Frankly, also because Dave and I share a sense of humor that most don't.... but we don't judge y'all. So without further ado: 1. Pop and Fresh Poodle Fat (short...

Derailed, Damn

So I didn't get my comfort food. What I did get was a laughing waitress as soon as I walked into the only place in town to eat, the Mexican food place. Seems I am there ALOT, lol. Anyway, the sink decided to die. The plumber came just in time for dinner. Damnit. Sooooo I have a new facet set up and those sweet steaks will continue to marinade until dinner tomorrow. Yummy! Those are gonna be some tender shicken fried steaks. However, I think I will attempt some homemade by hand bread tomorrow too. Stick around, I should gain at least 14 more lbs this week. (okay, smartass aside, I'm down 2 lbs....

Comfort Food

Ignore the fact that I've gained weight......... I am cooking. Cause it makes me happy. I also have music blaring.... cause it makes me happy. And chicken fried steak... obviously makes everyone happy. I'm playing around so I threw some milk, egg, worchesester (sp duh) sauce, garlic, cracked pepper and a dash of mommas secret cajun seasoning into a big ole bowl.... whipped it into a frenzy. Then dropped some pounded within an inch of their life cubed steaks. Stuck in fridge. Plan is to simply dreg them through some GF flour and fry swiftly for dinner. There will be gravy. I have three different...

Challenge

I think I'm not so much in love with this town. Cause 'dear diary', I will be honest and say that for whatever reason.... (cough-could be the quit smoking part honestly-cough) . Okay I'm miserable. The kids are happy cause we see daddy every night. I'm happy about that too, just the rest....... BLAH. And without my ciggies, well I kinda wanta say kiss my ass and hide out in my bed all day. But I'm not. I'm gonna take my babies out and keep myself busy chasing after them. We hit the pool tonight, I sat by and watched them play together while studying. This week we start karate and next week...

Supporting the Dave

Now that he's the boss, he has chances to do more community involvement. So we were recently in the local parade, riding the pilot trucks on either side of a huuuuuge crane. It was fun watching Dave in his business hat! Smexy, too. ...

Watch This....

So what do you have once you have unpacked your house......all the boxes are put into the scary ass grisley body-hiding basement (really, what is it with these people and their creepy ass basements) and the schedule we are currently on is getting a little boring. You can only sleep till noon so often before you get bored. So between journalling, homeschooling some math, and watching HGTV, the kids and I need some activities. So I set out to see what I can get my girls involved in... since there is literally no work options here for me except house wife, mother and occasional love slave (I bet...

My Ass is on Notice!

This is my keeping this life of mine real post: I have gained 12 lbs in the month since I quit smoking. Yeah, you read that right. 12 murtha effing lbs........ Since smoking ain't a weight-maintenance option: here we go. I'm back in the saddle baby. I just did my mile on the treadmill. It took effffffffing FOREVER to do too. My knees are stiff, my new running shoes rubbed a little on the backs of my ankles cause my socks are too short. And I have serious gas from dinner so it was a little uncomfortable, but I did it. My new goal: 1 mile in the morning and 1 mile in the evenings for the next...

Interesting Day

So I know I am behind on here, but amusing note from my day. It was a rainy day, so the girls and I did our errands in the morning and then took a big ole nap. We woke up and started moving boxes into the basement when I heard the roar of the familiar truck. Dave was home like 3 hours early. He was a Friday work bandit. So in the pouring rain, the two of us escaped the kids to run up to the store to order the girlies their dressers and bookshelves. Then it was off to pick up his Father's Day gift. Can you guess what it is? A gun you say? How did you know? Yeah, so we went to the little gun...

The Mule Deer Factor

Man, I can move. I can also having an entertaining and unexpected move. This one was both. First off, considering that our last set of packer/movers damn near ruined everything I owned we decided to pack and move ourselves. It went well. Dave came home one weekend, and helped me packed most of what we own room-by-room then I wrapped all the furniture in shrink wrap. Boom, it wasnt' too bad. I had some help with the final push and cleaning (thanks Momma). So move morning came, Dave had flew in the night before to drive the uhaul and I was driving my truck behind. We are so blessed as we go to...

Still Kicking

I'm back from Yellowstone and I'm exhausted. However, I have two days before MOVE day so I have to get busy finalizing this house. :) Except, tomorrow I have plans. I have to get my ass back on that river. Conquering fears over here. That and frankly I'm turning into an adventure junkie! Don't tell my husband! So soon I'll have Yellowstone pics and family fun updates, okay... those will come tomorrow. :) Peace, love and don't catch cra...

Life & Death Experience 14

So last week, my mom showed up and the kids/I decided that while it was still pretty chilly we wanted to at least get one river run in before our move. So we grabbed my C girl and her teen daughter, my mom and off we went. We had the entire river to ourselves. The river runs through town, literally. So we suited up, sorta. Everyone wore some combination of swim wear and shorts with most in flip flops while I was the only one in sneakers. I am a genius! So we hit the river and got a double and...
