Here it is!!!

My new tattoo! Its over a scar on my leg. YES, it hurt and still does! I am very pleased with it though. A little worried how its healing but I have a good friend thats an expert on tattoos and she has looked at it for me. The colors did fade a little but I guess they leave a lot of excess ink on there, so thats normal. Its defiatley larger that the one on my arm, but the guy was quick. He designed and drew that right on me and helped me pick the colors. I like the way it kinda matches my arm. The bad thing is it makes the one on my arm look really really faded!! So yes, that was a whole barrel of fun trying not to bump it and to sleep when I was sick!! Just call me the tattooed lady....

Sick, take two!!

Oh yeah have I got it big time!! I just hope the kids don't get it. I think some of them already had this bug. ( little germ factories!!) I keep promising pictures, I know! We had a great visit with Jim and Nicole. As so as I tell Nick the "crazy thing" I did I will post it ( and pictures) on here. Shhhh jim and nicole!! I am off to "rest" lets hope this nasty bug doesn't last six weeks like last time....

Vacation

I have been having a blast with my brother and sister in law!! We happened to visit the harbor and at the beach was some kind of surfing contest. It was so neat to watch. ( I think the surfer chicks ROCK! you go girls!!) Yes me being "local" didn't bring my camera, and my sister in laws quit on her. (don't worry, she'll have more pics as soon as she gets the good batteries!) They are off to Hollywood today and Disney tomorrow and coming back my way on thurs. That actually works out because I had laundry and cleaning to catch up on and the girls have church class tomorrow evening. We dont' have plans for the weekend but i MIGHT do something outrageous friday. Will keep you posted.

Let The Sun Shine... Please??

Why oh why is it that whenever I have family visiting from the snowy/cold east coast OUR weather suddenly turns dreary and cold?? Ok so it might not seem that cold, but its chilly to us!! It has been foggy/cloudy for days. High... upper 50's. Where did the 70's go? I wanna take them to the beach!! I can only hope that when they visit Disney, annaheim is a little warmer. (should be)
Its like going to the Carribean in a hurricane. Sigh.
Fingers crossed they make their lay over, I know thats a big worry. Well I am on vacation now! yahoo. (even if I am cold!, ok ok a bit chilly, jeesh.)

Green Day

Here is some of the "treasure" and then Zoes fancy green hair do.

My hirt works on SO many levels. Sober, but still a total klutz. Last is me and my little green girl. She thought everyone was wearing green for her special green day! (ok I had green hair too, but it was hidden in the back)

Hope everyone had a great "green day" !

St Paddy's

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!!! I have been busy all afternoon making my famous guiness stew. This year we are having beer bread too!! I tried it with the guiness, which can be a bit strong so I cut it with a little root beer. Sounds gross but hopefully will taste good. I actually found some natural raised, hormone free, veg fed lamb in case i accidentally ingest some along with my veggies. All I have left are some potatoes to roast ( ok, I cheated on those!) and we are good to go. I had hard time finding a single bottle of Guiness ( what would I do with a six pack, seriously . I don't drink it nor do none of my friends or their hubby's) but I finally did. It is already smelling heavenly in here. And getting a bit warm. Weather is picking up, needless to say this isn't your typical March chilly stew weather. Kinds feels like may! Oh well. I had the table all decorated with little treasures for the kids. Sophie was up before dawn to see what the Leprachauns left her. ( I always give them a little something, but the whole leprachaun thing was all her!) They got green buckets with shamrock headbands, necklaces, bracelets and some chocolate coins from Sees. I noticed that the "extra" coins have already dissapeared ( ZOE) and some one keeps eyballing mine. ( Zoya again! Its driving her nutso that I am not eating them all right away!)
I am actually anxious to put all this stuff away and get out the Easter "crap" ok, I will admit I want it all done up for my company and I will use ANY excuse to decorate.
I plan on eating myself into a semi catatonic state and chilling tonight!
Happy Green Day ( Zoe is so happy, its her favorite color day!!)

Sober Hangover

Oh the irony! Was it punishment for past over indulgences? Food poisoning? Taking too many pills on empty tummy? All of the above???
What ever it was I am slowly recovering. The little ones bounced back pretty quickly. Basically we had a puke o rama here Friday night. NOT FUN. ( plus, ok I was a "little" doped up from mis -dosing some meds. oopsie!) The only lingering affect seems to be this horrible, migraine calliber headache that NOTHING seems to touch. I can get it dimmed enough to function but it doesn't go away.
Plus, I have too much money. Oh don't get all excited. That is NOT good news. THAT means I forgot to pay something very important and can't figure out what it is. I am sure it will be sucked out of my acct very soon. Till then I am watching the bank like a hawk. I am just working on getting better so I can get this house into shape for Jim and Nicloes visit, which is coming up fast! I am very exctied. THe only drawback is we might have to turn around and go back to San Diego the next day, Emily has a interview for a science camp she wants to attend. I got the good ol GPS which is good cuz I don't know where ANY of the fun Stuff in SD is. That is still up in the air.
( don't worry J&N, you guys just relax!!)
Lessons learned this weekend: 1. If I can get that sick sober , I don't think I will be going on a
wild drinking binge any time soon. (really!!)
2.Don't eat fish that smells funny even if it was expensive
and you don't want to waste it.
3. Having three people throw up in six places gets your floor
clean. (not fun though!)
4. You can order Dominos online!
5. If pills say "take as directed" or 'Take with food" or "don't take more that such and such in a 24 hr peroid" OBEY THE RULES!!!!
