My entry from a few days ago....

Here I sit... having Déjà vu... last Tuesday I was here at the Hi Desert fixing the mess the robbers made...
Little did I know the worst was yet to come...
Little shitheads...
 
Go get a cup of coffee and sit down because I am going to take you on a wild ride...
 
If you remember, Kieffer, his friends, Pam, etc... were coming up to the Hi Desert with me on Saturday...  We came up here and on Sunday I was going to stay here and wait for Sam to come up because Monday the alarm company was going to come and fix the motion detector in the garage...
Sam said he was really busy doing stuff at home and told me, just come home we'll go back up Monday...
I said ok... and went home about 1pm...
 
9:01pm the alarm goes off
9:02pm the alarm company calls
9:03pm police were dispatched [the same officer who had come last week, and I guess he hauled ass up here to catch them]
9:04pm we called the horse neighbors
9:09pm they called and said the security door was banging open
9:11pm horse neighbors call and say there is a hole in the security gate
9:15pm we leave and start driving up here
9:22 pm horse neighbors call - 4 police cars are up here, and the helicopter is circling... they got 2 bikes and they are following the trail... [we had 2 inches of rain up here over the weekend and trail is easy to follow]
10pm we arrive, police are dusting for finger prints, and collecting DNA or blood samples because one of the little shits cut himself on the double pane window they broke,
10:09pm a police SUV delivers one of our bikes back to us...
After taking numerous photos, tallying the damage, the police leave...
11pm - Sam and I are in shock, pissed off and have drank way to much coffee
3am we finally fall asleep
8am -we wake up and look at the damage and shake our heads, I am so upset over the last week I have been breaking out in hives...
Over the course of yesterday we had 2 Deputies here picking up evidence... [a pair of clippers, piece of glass with blood on it,] not 5 minutes after he left... we found the axe and sawz all blade they cut the chain with...
Little shits used the tool they stole from us to steal again...
They cut A HUGE hole in our chain linkfence in another place...
 
Anyway, so much has happened... I only wish I woulda had the laptop yesterday...
I dont even know where to begin...  I guess after following the trail, the little shits said they had no idea why the trail ended at their house, they would not allow the police in the house without a search warrant...
Lucky for us, when they found the other bike they recovered a bloody shoe... of course the shit heads it wasn't their shoe...
Good news is the kid who they are after for doing this is a little juvenile delinquent, they have his DNA on file from another case... we are waiting for the blood in the break in, to match the shoe and his DNA...
Long story short... the wheels of justice turn slowly...but they want these little assholes as bad as we do... but they have to do it right to make the charges stick...
You have no idea how hard it is not to follow those tracks out of my yard and lay in wait for the shitheads...
The deputies called yesterday to say they were serving search warrants on them... havent heard anything since!
They must have picked one of the kids up because his dog came wandering around looking for him... I told Sam he should have grabbed the dog and held it for ransom...
You want your dog back... give me my bike back...
 
Anyway, I am trying very hard not to be angry... [I just break out in more hives, the only person I am hurting is myself by allowing the bad wolf to win...]
 
Let me explain that wolf comment...
 
Many moons ago, an Indian Grandfather was talking to his grandson...
"Grandfather, why do people do bad things"
"In every human, there are two wolves fighting each other...  One wolf is good, loving, helpful to his fellow man...  The other wolf, is angry, hateful, jealous and mean... they are always fighting one another inside every person"
"Grandfather, how do you know which wolf will win?'
"Whichever wolf you feed will win"
 
So you see... I am trying not to feed the bad wolf right now with angry, hateful thoughts... It only poisons me, not the robbers... Does that make sense?
 
So anyway... Kameron, Kieffer, Kris, Sam and I are up here... securing this house... thankfully we are in construction or this would have been an expensive nightmare... Actually it is an expensive nightmare but it would have been 3 times as much!!!
 
I got to go for now...
 
I feel guilty being in here typing while they are out there working...
 
I think we are going home tonight...  it is going to snow tonight...
 
Shhhh .... I hope we get to stay then... how often does a person from Palm Springs get to play in the snow...
 
Ill be back in a little bit...

I have a few minutes more...

Sam had to go to the office and sign the monthly checks... then he went to Home Depot AGAIN... 

I am so tired from this whole ordeal... I keep looking at my bed...  The one I havent slept in since Friday...

Kris is up at the High Desert house, but the winds are blowing so hard... there will be no work happening today... that is why we came down to get clothes and pay bills...

Anyway... my bed is calling my name until Sam gets back from the office...

 

 

More photos...

Sam and I and the dogs came down to get clothes... we are not finished yet...

I have a LONG entry I will post when I get back up there on the laptop...

6 robbers are in jail... 2 teenagers and 4 adults... they have not found our motorcycle yet ;(

stay tuned...

Monday, January 28, 2008

You are never going to believe this...


I can't finish we are heading back to the high desert house i am bringing my laptop... so stay tuned...

They caught the Mother F*&^$%#'s by the way...

 

Gotta go... I am so angry

Saturday, January 26, 2008

I'm off grounding and get to go...

Woo Hoo...  I LOVE laughing with Pam...maybe we'll go T.P. the Oooommm Dome J/K...
LOL

Sam said he will be up Sunday... he has stuff he wants to get done around here... 

I said "Oh so you'll have a hoochie momma come over tonight then"

he said "Of course, I will" and I laughed...

I know when I get up there I am going to miss him... but not enough to stay home...LOL

I want to take a minute and say Welcome to Henry, the latest edition to Lisa Jo's family [a new beagle]  if you remember her beloved beagle Buddy passed away...

 

Anyway gotta go

 

 

Wish me luck...

This morning I was a good girl and went to the gym... I met Larry [the cool gay guy] and we worked out on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes... Woo Hoo... I love Larry... he is so cool... Eric my trainer is on his way out... he is bugging me for sure... When my month is up with him... I'm dumping him...
[Not because he works me out too hard... because my schedule and his are too hard to get together... last week he canceled on Monday - I was gone on Wednesday - So Friday was the only day we could work out - plus he has never weighed me, or done a measurement, or done my body fat count! How the hell can you tell how well I have done if you don't do that stuff??  The boys work out with a different trainer in the same gym and they get that?
You think I would... Eric is the owner... anyway... he is bugging me right now... He acts like I am the one who doesn't show up for workouts... only if I am in Newport, or Redondo, or the High Desert and I call 24 hours in advance so I dont get charged!  He has canceled on me just as much... Divorce Court, No baby-sitter for MLK day, Going to Vegas 3 times,... which I couldn't care less but dont act like its only me!!!!]
On Friday I got him good... I was doing my cardio before weight training ... I was chatting with Larry... 
Larry says "Kendra your being summoned by Eric"
I said "Oh... Ok..." and I got off the machine
Larry said "Time to WORK HARD!"
I said "Ya... I know" 
Eric says "Larry she just lied to you... Work Hard HA"
I said "Your right Eric, I guess you just can't inspire me as a trainer like some other people do" and I smiled at Larry...
People in the Gym went "Ooooooooo"
WTH? I have been going there since July... and trust me on this... I am not a hard body!
Eric makes me do too much weight... I want less weight more reps... I keep telling him...
"Eric I do NOT want to be Helga from the German Woman's Swimming Team" but he doesn't listen to me... so he is done... he doesn't know it yet...
 

Okay... I am done bitching about him... anyway... I come home and Kieffer says "Mom do you think Dad will let me and my friends go to Big Bear in our car if we all chip in for gas?"      "Uh... No... " and Sam did say No...
Kieffer says 'Ok... well can we go to the High Desert House?' and we said Yes to that... then I start thinking about food and say dontcha want Pam to go and cook for you? Kieffer says "Hell Ya, call her" so I did... I was only kidding... I never thought Pam would say okay... after all she lives an hour and half from the High D... and she was just here last weekend... for the Oooom Dome Adventure...
So get this... Pam, her hubby Chuck, grandson Corey, Kieffer and his friends Kevin, Lance a little, Joe, Veronica etc... are going up... and guess what... I can't go till Sunday... and I am so bummed...
Pam and I are a party waiting to happen...
I feel like the kid who is grounded...
 
[Sam and I have to sign loan docs... phooey... I dont wanna be responsible... I wanna go play with my friends...]
 
I feel like I just set up the coolest party and now I can't go... I am sick about it...
 
Maybe if I whine to Sam loud enough... I can go...
 
I doubt it he will just say "Would you like some cheese with your whine?"
 
Its worth a try wish me luck...

Pam and Kendra's Adventure to the Ooomm Dome

Saturday we were not racing so Sam's cousin Pam and I headed up to the Ommm Dome [as I call it] or

Inte-gra-tron [as other people call it]

it is about 2 miles from our High Desert House...

Here is some info about it...

The Integratron is located on an intersection of powerful geomagnetic forces that, when focused by the unique geometry of the building, will concentrate and amplify the energy required for rejuvenation and healing.  In 2005, a geophysicist measured the earth's magnetic field for up to 15 miles in every direction from the Integratron and then inside the dome.  She proclaimed that there is a significant, unexplainable spike in the earth's magnetic field in the center of the Integratron.

The Sound Bath is a 30-minute sonic healing session with 9 quartz crystal bowls played live in the Integratron's highly resonant, multi-wave sound chamber. This is the ultimate Integratron experience! 

Here is a video about it... check it out...

 

Ok... so Pam and I head up to the Ommm Dome to have a sound bath, rejuvinate and get our Chi straightened out...  Hey we have open minds, what can it hurt...

On our way up there... we happened upon a manniquin... she was crazy lookin... we just HAD to pull over and get a photo with her...

   

We were on an Adventure!

Pam and Kendra's Adventure to the Ommm Dome! 

Watch out world here we come!!!

So...Pam and I get up to the Integratron,

pay our $10 each,

take our mats, blankets, Chi and walk over to the Dome...

In the Dome... you have to take off your shoes and go up the steepest set of stairs I have ever seen... 

Pam dramatically [as only Pam can...LOL] chucks her mat and blanket up the stairs and hoists her voluptuous body up the ships ladder...

[Am I lying Pam...? Tell the truth]

Announcing our arrival to every Hippie, Princess Leah, and tattooed up freak show in the Ooommm Dome! 

[Am I lying Pam? You know I am not!]

While 30 people stare at our arrival! It looks like we just joined nap time at summer camp... people are laying on mats with blankets in a big circle... We quickly try to become invisible after that dramatic entrance... Oooops...

After a lengthy story told to us by the Lady who owns the Ooommm Dome, we settled in for our sound bath,

[you close your eyes and relax listening to crystal bowls being played in the acoustically perfect dome]

A few minutes into my Chi getting rejuvenated I hear Pam start to snore, so I hit her...

this set off the giggles between us...

I tried to dive under my blanket and ignore the laughing between us...

but I couldn't help it...

I finally rolled over so I wasnt facing her...

that didnt help... we had the giggles and we had them BAD... 

I wanted to die... All these people were doing their Ooooommm thing and all we could do was try to be quiet with the giggles!

It started to spread to the guy next to Pam...

he was giggling now too...

Oh Man did I want to get out of the Ooommm Dome and now!!!

We waited till the sound bath was done and we scooted out of their quickly...

Pam left as she came in... 

chucking her mat and blanket down the stairs...

and then her body with giggling Chi behind it...

We may not be allowed back into the Oooommm Dome anytime soon...

 

'postal vigilante'

Sam and I played police detectives today when we were leaving the high desert house and I am happy to report...
 
We have a witness to the crime!
 
There is a house behind our property about 50 yards away... it looks as if no one lives there... but yesterday I saw an elderly lady watering a tree...
So Sam and I go over there and he knocks on the door...
She saw 3 kids, with 4 dogs and called the police....  A Black kid dressed in all white sweats, a Hispanic kid in all black, and another kid with a hoodie on, in khaki shorts but she couldnt tell what he was because of the hoodie, they had 3 pitbulls and a springer spaniel with them... they went in the back of the property [where the hole in the fence was cut but she didnt know that at the time]  she saw them climb into the back of Sam's old beater Dodge truck in the driveway and try looking in the garage, then she said she saw them doing something with a rope [we believe this was actually when they were beating the wood down and the motion looked like using a rope or a whip action]
She said she wasnt sure if it was us or not... she wasnt sure about calling the police in case it was us... finally she thought she better call the police... so she called the regular business hours phone but it said they were closed for the day and if it was an emergency call 911...  She wasnt sure if it was an actual emergency... so she didnt call 911... then later she saw a white truck there [Kris and his friend Mike waiting for the police and boarding everything up for us] so she called the police again... they asked her to go to our property and get the lic. #...
She said "No, I am an old woman... I am not going over there... what if it is robbers!"
Then she saw the police over there, later they drove in her driveway but no one came to talk to her...
 
Anyway... we shall see where this goes... the investigating officer was off duty today but he will call us... I hope he gets on duty soon!! 
 
or I may have to go 'postal vigilante' on some kids myself...
 
Sam and I are going to tie them up by certain body parts and give them a tour of the property from behind 'Old Betsy'  [an ATC we have]
Seems only fair since they like our property so much... right...

Steam is billowing out my ears

Hi D Ho there neighbors...
 
I swear I just wrote this long entry and this stupid laptop erased it by shutting down for an update...
 
I am agitated, irritated, and stressed at the moment!
 
Definition of Stress: the confusion created when ones mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the hell out of some asshole who desperately deserves it!!!
 
I have a few assholes in my life right now who DESPERATELY deserve it!!!
 
Unfortunately, I dont know who they are...
the only thing I do know is they are thieving Mother F^*&%$#!!! 
Oh my... did I say that...
You better believe I did...
I am so hot right now... steam is billowing out of my ears like a cartoon...
 
While I was explaining to you why I have been up here for two days fixing the damage thieves did to our place!
American Express Fraud division called to tell us about some other thief charging $1,000 worth of handbags on Nordstrom.com, and $529 worth of MAC make up from another place...
American Express said "Dont worry about it, we will take care of it!" I am thankful for that!
 
WTH? Do we have a bullseye on our backs or what?
 
Ooooo I am so pissed... 
I am however also very thankful...
The little shitheads who broke into our place up here didnt get anything but a Sawz All tool!
The thief with expensive taste in handbags and makeup won't be getting anything either!
I am VERY THANKFUL for that...
 
[I am also thankful for the beautiful cross Pam brought up here and put up on the wall because it just reminded me to see the good in these situations and stop being upset...
 Thank you Pam!]
 
We are currently waiting for the Sheriff to come by to do some more fingerprinting...  We found some more very good fingerprints over the last two days...
 
Here is what happened Sunday afternoon...
The thieving kids came to our property, cut a 3 foot hole in the chain link fence, broke a garage window, then broke through the plywood over the window on the inside of the garage... a small kid crawled through the window, and tried desperately to get to some bikes that were chained up...
[not Mike's bike Candice]
They hacked at the chain with a large pick... they hacked so hard they busted up the hub and rim on one of the bikes! They even busted up the concrete floor in the garage... They did NOT get close to breaking that chain... finally they gave up... used a crow bar to bust open the door jam on our steel garage entry door... when that happened the alarm went off with a siren and they split... 
These are kids... from the shoe prints, and handprints I would say 9-11 years old was the youngest...
[This is the new security door we put up - they will have to go through this door and then another steel door with 2 deadbolts also - the bars on the window were made by Kameron, he came up one day and did some welding for us - the bars are carriage bolted into the garage]
 
Our neighbors came over when we arrived on Monday to say the Sheriff came over and asked them if they heard anything but they didnt...  We exchanged phone numbers and they said when the alarm company calls next time, call them, they would love to catch these little shits too!]
We believe its these kids who live with Gramma down the street but how do you prove it...  The Sheriff said he had an idea who it was, but didnt say who... just said he would go by there...
Well I am headed home and wanted to post this before we head back down the hill...
 
it was supposed to snow last night but it didn't... 
 
Oh well...
 
I'll be home soon... if you have called me and left a message  I didnt get it... I have a new phone that I do not know how to work yet... a Blackberry I never wanted but that is a whole other story, we will chat about later...
 
CALGON - take me away...

I AM SO DAMN PISSED

Super quick entry... I have so much to share but some stupid ass kid broke into the high desert gargage yesterday at 4pm [broke the window, broke the garge door tried to sawz all the chain on the motorcycles...

When the door got opened the alarm went off and they split...

All this happened in the middle of Kameron's birthday dinner that was starting... [11 family and friends over] Kris ran up there for us and secured it for the night and met with the police...

Now Sam and I have to go up there today and clean it up and change the door, board up the window...

I am so pissed... but they didnt get anything again... that is good news...

Ooooooo................ be back later..
I have tons to tell you... Pam and I went to that place the Intregratron - or as I call it the Oooooommmmmm Dome... on Saturday... I have a new ring to tell you about...

Oh! Damn kids...

Let my people go...

Now that I have FINALLY watched 2 episodes of American Idol I have to say something...
 
How is it possible these people do not understand they CAN NOT sing? I dont get it! I KNOW without a doubt, that I can NOT sing... You could NOT get me drunk enough to do Karaoke EVER... It simply will never happen... Right Pam...? neither one of us will be caught doing that!
 
It blows me away... are they tone deaf? Especially the guy who tried to sing "Let my people go" WTH?
 
Wow...
 
I have some questions though...
 
OK... who is Randy Jackson? 
I have no idea who he is?
Part of the Jackson 5?
Does Simon get along with Randy and Paula?  They say yes and he says no...
 
Sam is watching it with me but he thinks its kinda stupid... but I told him I hafta watch because I told Lisa Jo I would and I am tired of everyone talking about shows  and I have no idea what they are talking about... 
 
You have to understand he likes to watch TV shows and learn something... We usually watch tons of News, TLC, History, and Bravo... rarely regular shows... never sitcoms...
 
I have to say I sure do miss Soprano's though...
Candice turned us on to Dexter and we love that show...
 
Anyway... that is my 2 cents... 
 
Plus both of my football teams lost last weekend... Colts and the Cowboys... I guess I will have to root for Green Bay but if New York wins its okay because Eli is the brother of Payton on my Colts...  Ho Hum
 
Oh yes... Ellen Real Stories of the New York Housewives comes on in March... I saw a promo for it on Bravo today...I was watching Paula Abdul's reality show... 

Thursday, January 17, 2008

They are gone...

Sam's Aunt and Uncle came over for about 20 minutes and then the 'Shrew' was ready to leave!

THANK GOD!

I wish Uncle Jerry would have left Aunt Yvonne at the hotel and came by himself because he sure was enjoying talking to Sam in the garage...

I can not STAND that woman! No one can... she is just awful! Her daughter that I met 20 years ago had Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy

[Its a mental problem where you try to keep your kids ill, so you get attention] 

Really sad situation... I heard they took the kids away for awhile...

Jeepers if that woman was my Mother I would have mental problems too!!!

The best comment I got about that story was from Lisa Jo

"What is a coon? Is it a dog?"

Lisa Jo... I love you... you are too cute... Yes... there is a coon dog however I do not believe that was what she was referring too...

She was saying the 'N' word times 50... if you get my meaning...

 

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone said something so 'racial' that your brain comes to a screeching halt and you think "OMG!!! Did they just say what I think they said?" and you have no idea how to respond?
 
That happened to me today... and I am still in shock over it!
 
Sam and I went over to our business today and started cleaning up the back building... [construction, remodeling stuff]  I was taking pictures of items we are selling...  I had set up a table to photograph items on and I am walking back and forth to the back building when out of the corner of my eye I see a lady sitting in a car... she was yelling something like "Hi" or whatever... So I said to Sam, there is a lady yelling in a car through the fence... he said "Oh some of the neighbors like to talk to the dogs sometimes" [we have 2 rescued dogs that live at the shop - our office manager takes care of them - 1 is a pit bull who use to be beat - and the other is a Labrador she got from the pound] 
So, anyway the lady yells again "Hey!!" so I decide to see what is up...
Surprise! It was actually Sam's Aunt and Uncle from his Mother's side [his Mother's brother]  They live in Montana and drove down to get out of the snow and go visiting...  We LOVE and ADORE his Uncle Jerry, he is the sweetest man... and was a BIG part of my husband's life growing up... Uncle Jerry took him everywhere... Uncle Jerry married the
BIGGEST shrew you have ever met... Aunt Yvonne has got to be the most negative, awful woman I have ever met in my life... How he stayed married to her ALL these years I will NEVER know!!!  This woman says awful things about people... I can just imagine what she says about us behind our back...
So anyway Uncle Jerry comes in the gate and starts talking to Sam, so I do the polite thing and go talk to Aunt Yvonne who is the car with their dog [a black miniature poodle, who yaps at me the whole time!]
I make small talk with her... you know...
how are you?, when did you leave Montana?, where are you staying?, How was Christmas?, What is your dogs name?,
"How is your daughter?"
"Which one?"
"Oh I have only met one... the one with 2 children"
"Oh she is fine"
I remember those kids are older than Kris and Candice so I say
"Are you a great-grandmother by now?"
"No.... well actually yes... but one of them married a coon, so I dont recognize it"
[My brain comes to a screeching halt.... Whoa... wait a minute... did she just use the word 'coon']
I didnt know what to say to that... I was trying to wrap my brain around what she just said...
Thankfully, Sam and his Uncle came out the gate and I was grateful because I was still in shock!!  I AM still in SHOCK...
 
Anyway... they are coming over for a visit... so I gotta go...
 
but Jeepers!!!   Has that ever happened to you...

Your so cute... for days...

Today I had THE BEST workout at the gym... you want to know why?
Well, all the treadmills were taken
[1st time that happened]
so I jumped on the Elliptical machine next to a guy named Larry
[we have chit chatted over the months I have been going there] 
 Larry is a 52 year old gay man, who owns a store in Palm Springs but he is closing it down...
 
Anyway, I had the best time doing the elliptical machine and talking to him... It didnt seem like a workout at all talking to him...
[and I did twice the time and twice the calories burned than on the treadmill!] 
I swear everytime I go to the gym, I am making a bee line to Larry!!!  Gay guys are like having the coolest girlfriends! 
 
OMG, I just remembered a story from my teens...
One of my girlfriends worked at the cosmetic counter at the Beverly Hills Mall... This gay guy who we called "Ray... For Days" worked in men's wear...
He would say stuff like
"OMG Honey, you look cute.. for DAYS"  everything was "For Days" 
"Honey look!....that man is gorgeous... for days!" 
So we started using the saying, and all our friends started using it too...
One day we told Ray... "All our friends are using the saying 'for days' because of you Ray"
"Oh Honey.... the boys too?" we said "Oh ya the guys too" he roared with laughter...
"It is only 'THE' biggest gay saying in Hollywood girls!!!"
 
Lets see... what else has been going on?  Oh... I have 'blue' weimariner and now... I have a 'blue' son...  I will let you take a guess at which one of my son's dyed their hair so jet black its blue...
 
So much for the "I have never seen so many blondes in my life"  I will now have to ship him to Kentucky to be with Chrissie... or maybe Ellen's... Hmmm
New York... Yes, New York for sure...
 
Sooooo.......... Who died their hair jet black [so jet black its blue]

[Unsafe lane change]

I gotta vent for a minute or twenty... 
 
Remember Kieffer was in an accident a couple of weeks ago... Well we have been helping our insurance fight a claim against Kieffer... They say it was Kieffer's fault but it wasn't... we made a diagram and took photos of the scene...
 
 
This 'bus area' is where Mr. Kramer dove into in front of Kieffer from the number 2 lane... Mr. Kramer said "I thought it was the entry to Wal-Greens " Then he slams on his brakes because he has no where to go... If it had been an entry, it probably would have been a close call, not an accident"
 
Our insurance was saying there was no proof of fault in the accident report... so I wrote to my insurance lady and said...
 
The police officer stated [Primary collision factor/VC Section violated 21658 [a] ] in Mr Kramer's area in the collision information exchange... [Unsafe lane change] I assumed that showed Mr. Kramer is at fault for unsafe lane change?
 
Then she called us "I am so sorry I missed that! Thank you for showing that to me! We are denying the claim...if any attorney's contact you, let us know... we will handle it on your behalf"   we asked "Are they going to sue?"  "I dont know but all 3 people in the car are now claiming injury"
 
CLAIMING INJURYOoooo that pisses me off!!!  I can not stand people who milk the system... it causes everyone's insurance to go up!!!   If you are injured in an accident that is one thing... but THEY WERE NOT!!!
I was there....
 
I can't believe they don't realize it was THEIR stupid fault, NOT Kieffer's...
 
Do you guys understand what happened from the drawing and photo?  Is it clear to you all?  If not tell me okay?
 
I'll keep ya posted

Thursday, January 10, 2008

You got me started... Now I cant quit Lisa Jo

because Lisa Jo dared me too

 

This photo below makes me laugh... Why in the world do we have the same stupid look on our face? Kiefffer and Me... I guess I also needed to teach him to tie his shoes!!!

Someone got into the bubble bath... [below]

My cameos of memory

I feel like crap... my throat is killing me... I am not a good sick person... I want cuddles and attention ... my hubby wants to run and get away from me because he doesn't want it... Phooey
 "My sore throat sucks!" I said after wincing as I swallowed
My Hubby said "I wish it did!" 
He can make me laugh even when I feel like crap... 
 
Anyway... what else do I have to tell you...
 
I sent Kelly a poem yesterday [Her sister Kim wrote a journal called
"I shaved my legs for this" in case you don't know who I am talking about... Kim died of breast cancer December 26... for those of us who read Kim's journal... it was devastating] 
So anyway I thought I would share the poem with all of you too...  Today is also the 28th anniversary of my father passing away...
 
My cameos of memory :

These are my treasures kept apart,

Cradled in velvet in my heart,

Graven profiles, picture clear,

Perfect moments, priceless-dear,      

The hours I have spent with you,

The tender times, the fun times too,

The summer roses and the rain,

 The laughter and the precious pain

 Of loving you- your loving me-      

My cameos of memory

These are my wealth, my warmth, my light,

I keep them dream- close every night.

 With finger-tips of heart and mind

 I trace each profile there defined-

 These treasures none can take from me      

My cameos of memory.

 

I am going back to bed... don't send me emails telling me to go the Dr. because I am not going and you can't make me...

Just send get better prayers ok ;)

Not

 
Well I got up and went to workout which was a complete waste of time...
I feel like crap, sore throat, cough, no energy but I am trying... ugh..
I came home and Sam told me something sad about our foreman Greg
[you know the guy in my ghost story from Halloween]
Well, Greg and his wife Sherrie went to Mexico over the Christmas Holidays, and her father joined them...
2 days into the 2 week trip, they find Sherrie's father dead in his hotel room, passed away in his sleep!
I guess its very complicated to get a body out of Mexico, and back into the US... about $4,000 to get him out of Mexico and back to Tennessee...
 
Yikes... don't die in Mexico!
 
Anyway... I just put the Redondo Beach Property up for rent...
 
Send good vibes we sure could use the money... Most of our money is tied up in the properties at the moment and its getting a little scary financially!
 
We are heading to Newport in the morning... We were going to see Grampa but I guess its Marlo's day off and his sister Becky will be there all day...
Love Grampa, but I can't stand Becky... Don't want to be in the same room with her... Its a sad state of affairs when I won't go visit him because of her... but I am not exagerating... when you look up the word Bitch in the dictionary - you'll find her picture next to it... Her own kids will have NOTHING to do with her...
She has BAD Karma / Negative energy all around her and I dont want to be near it...
 
Plus I might kill her, Sam would help me, Diane would help clean up the crime scene, Pam would be my alibi, Candice would help burn the evidence,
 
I may have to rethink going then... 
 
NOT...

A UFO Site by the High Desert House

When we were all up at the High Desert House for New Years

Pam is always bugging me to go look at property with her...

She wants to move up there...

I always say

"No I'm not leaving the 'compound' Pam"

but Candice and Pam talked me into it...

So I took them to the only tourist place up there...

"Ok... you want to go to the UFO place?" I said

"What?" they said

"Ya, there is a place called the Integratron... where a guy comunicated with ET's... or something like that"

So I took them... google it... the place is a trip... and about a 3 minute drive from the High Desert House...

Ooooo Eeeee Ooooo

We are back from going to Grampa's...

Traffic was so light... it was so nice...

Grampa looked really good... much better than last time we saw him... he ate really good too...

We brought him a new comforter and sheets...

"Hey Dad...  you still in bed...? what time is revelry around this place?"  Sam said laughing

"Oh Hellz Bellz, what time is it then?"  Grampa said laughing playing along

it was 11:00am and Grampa was still in bed but he got up and went into the family room to visit with us...

Then Marlo made him some lunch and he kept asking us

"You kids want anything?"

"No Dad we ate before we came"

"Ok are you sure?"

2 minutes later

"Hey you want anything, what can I get you?"

Sam says "you have any 6 foot blondes?" without missing a beat

Grampa says "Fresh out"

We all cracked up...

Although Grampa looked really good... the signs are all around the house his health is declining... oxygen tank in the family room and one in the bedroom, walker in the hall, but we had a really good visit... we are going back on Tuesday

BTW Grampa LOVED his new sheets and comforter... I had Sam, Kieffer and Kameron help flip his mattress too...

New Years Eve Photos at the High Desert House

A few days late... pictures to follow...

 
Happy New Years Eve Day,
I have to confess I have wicked hangover already... We came home from racing and Sam's cousin Pam and her hubby Chuck were waiting for us here at the house...  We were supposed to go up to the high desert house last night but we were too wiped out from racing for 4 days... So we decided to go up today...
Anyway... Pam and I are a riot... I swear we have so much fun... I laugh so much around her...  Last night we decide to go get some Amaretto Desorrano [my favorite drink, which is hers now too] so we head over to the store and before we leave I say
"Wait, I better take my wallet, we might get carded"
[Which makes Pam crack up because she is 50 and I am 41... actually 42 but I missed being 41 remember]
So Pam and I go into the store and buy the Amaretto, and when she wasn't looking I told the clerk "Card me" and I winked... 
So the girl says "May I see some ID please" and the whole time I am looking at Pam waiting for her reaction... First her mouth drops open and then she busted up laughing...
I swear I am laughing thinking of it right now... I wish I could get the video tape from the store!  It was so funny! Even the clerk and the people in line were laughing too...
I love Pam so much... Oh I have to tell you about the Christmas gifts she brought too... She found an ornament with my name on it... WOO HOO and then she gave me the funniest gift... A t-shirt that says
"Ask me about my Granddog" I LAUGHED so hard...
Maybe I dont have a hang over, maybe I have a laugh over...
No on second thought it is a hangover...  We started doing shots from the new shot glasses she gave Sam....  saying things like 
"Here's to those who know us well, and all the rest can go to Hell"
