Been a long while!

Gosh...I am not very good at this.  It has been ages. 

All is good...time sure does fly that is for sure.  I am off on a vacation day today - B had a doctor's appointment and I had some unused time from last year eat up so I took that day off.
Nice in being the house during the day - a work day that is.  Did not miss my drive into the office today.

Nothing really new to report.  Still waiting on official word from the court house to tell me that I am officially free and clear.  Got to be coming shortly I figure. The paper has only been sitting on the judges desk since the end of February! 

Met an old work friend for dinner the other night.  Had not seen her in a while so it was great to catch up.  We worked together for 5 years.  She has recently just returned for a vacation thru Thailand and love it.   She is back to work only for a couple of weeks and then off to St. Petersburg - yup Russia for ten days to visit with the love of her live.  He is working over there to help them get there IT resources all ready for teh next Olympics.  Pretty neat gig.  He has been then since September and will be for a total of four years.  Every few months they meet in a new country.  I believe after  Russia, it will be Greece.  Wow hey?

K is just back after a weekend with her Dad in Sask. It was her Grandmother's 75th b-day. She had a good time but I think missed Mom but she did enjoy all their snow out there.

K's knee is healing.  Thank goodness.  We are hoping for full clearance to resume sports again.  She has been chomping at the bit but understands that you can't rush this type of injury. 

Booked a trip to Vegas next month.  Bellagio here I come.  Looking forward to it.  It was my Mom's 70th b-day this year so she and I are going for 4 days in May.  We are seeing the show KA and Lion King.  Awesome deals out there right now...this trip with tickets to KA (they came free) $500!  Thank you Allegiant airlines!

Well that it is for now...gotta go get a little lady from school soon.

Prepping the bucket list for 2011

I know I know...23 days have already gone in 2011 but did I ever say I was on time for anything??  haha.. maybe I should put that on my list to achieve this year? 

I am going to create a list of things I want to accomplish this year.  Don't know what they all are yet..but I have given my self a deadine to come up with at least 10.  This way I at least have a chance as completing something every month...yeah we will see!

All else is good... except now I have to monitor my blood pressure at home...seems the meds were not doing enough so the dosage got upped a bit.  Kids are good, cat is good..and I am good.

2010 The Year Wrap Up

So 2010 was quite a year.... I decided I wanted to do a recap.  Partially to remind me what I did but really just to see all that happened cuz it really was a year.  I am excited as we get going on 2011 because this year is going to be MY Year!

I have shingles  :-(  That is all I can say.  Pain like you won't believe and guess where????  my eye lid. 

Stress related of course and more meds.

When will it all end?

Meet my new friend

Here is the best thing that has happended to my little family and he loves us like crazy.  I miss the Love Cat dearly but I know that she is happy where she is. Not sure exactly how old Dusty is but guessing under two.  Hard to believe that his previous owners left him with the trash and moved away.  :-(

Well he has found himself a new forever home with us and his old life is forgotten.  He has a home to roam in, made new friends in the complex and sleeps in a pink satin bed from build-a-bear (don't ask - he loves it) and is carried like a baby constantly.  Has many toys to play with, food and water whenever he wants.  Yep...he's a happy boy!

Paint + New Carpet = Happy Paige!

Been very busy of late. My nails are covered in paint but it is worth it!  Three rooms painted, carpeted and now on to the family room..  Ahh good thing I love the colour I have chosen.  Gray all the way baby!  It also pays to have a friend that works for a carpet company too :-)

HOT HOT HOT

It says 35 degrees in my car and it is 7:00pm at night!  ugh...... I might need to invest in a/c.
