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 ;(

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...
