A New Endeavor...

2012-01-05T15:57:00.002-07:00

I've started something new. I opened an Etsy site.

I know... can you believe it. I have somewhere I can sell my crochet products. I'm mainly selling jewelry and hair accessories right now, but eventually I might have more things such as my scarves and blankets.

I'll eventually have a button available for others to come and visit us.

We also have a blog and a Facebook page to go with the site. Not much has been posted on the blog yet, but we'll get going eventually, and if you could go to the Facebook page to like us that would be great.

One of my all time favorite things EVER!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD

its been a while...

2011-10-13T22:21:00.000-07:00

It's nearly the middle of October and I haven't blogged in nearly 2 months. Guess I need to find another list of things to blog about.

Lots of things going on around here.

Erin got a job. She's working at the Macy's Bloomingdale's distribution center. Pretty cool job. She gets to pick things for online orders before someone else boxes them and ships it. She's only worked 2 days and had 1 day orientation, but she's happy she's working. I just think it's a little lonelier during the day now.

I've been having lots of doctors appointments and testing done. My lungs (maybe heart) aren't doing so hot right now, but we're still testing so we don't know what's going on right now. We should find out a little bit more of what is going on next week, and most likely be doing a heart catheter within the next few weeks to get the real pressures in my heart, rather than relying on a echo.

I figured out what to do about Christmas presents this year, and i shouldn't have to buy anything, much. I know that I need fabric stiffener for one of the projects, but that's about it.

The puppy is now 4 months old. We've had her forever! She's beautiful as always. Still having issues with her, but it's mainly cause she's one very stubborn puppy. Never get a German female dog.!

Ian turns 11 tomorrow. Guess I should post about that, tomorrow. I can't believe he's 11 already. He's such a good boy. It makes me cry thinking about how much of a young man he is. I love him very much.

Emalee's baby will be here on the 25th. Now when I say here I mean on this earth. I don't know when I'll see her in person.

I'm not going to Utah for Thanksgiving. Because of the issues I've been having my doctor doesn't think it is a good thing right now for me to be traveling in the cold. Erin and I will be alone in Buckeye for Thanksgiving. I'm fine with it, other than the fact that I would really like to see my grandmother again, and my new baby niece.

another addiction...

2011-07-09T16:21:00.000-07:00

Yes... I said that right. I've got yet another addiction.

I can't stop looking at all the different pin boards and repining and finding stuff to pin on my own. There are so many pretty things in this world. I LOVE IT

If you're interest in following my pin board you're more than welcome to.

LOVED

2011-07-07T13:40:00.000-07:00

I found this on Pinterest and loved it at first sight. I wasn't able to find the artist, or the original poster. I would love to give credit where credit is due, so if you know who's it is let me know.

another new one...

2011-06-28T18:25:00.000-07:00

I crocheted 16 little flowers.

I stitched 8 onto a piece of ribbon

makes for a very cute headband for a little girl's, or big girl's, head.

New Hobby...

2011-06-22T21:16:00.000-07:00

For quite a while I've been wanting to get into Jewelry making...

So today I decided to treat myself and get some beads, and other stuff to start making some jewelry.

I'm so excited about this. This will add something else to my list of things I'm able to do for gifts this Christmas.

Happy Father's Day

2011-06-19T12:32:00.000-07:00

I don't have any pictures of my dad on my computer anymore... So I stole this one from my brother's facebook.

It makes me laugh!

Happy Father's Day DAD!

Photo Booth...

2011-06-17T16:36:00.000-07:00

So I got up Wednesday morning and found Missy Miss on my computer. This is not an uncommon thing to find when any of the kids get up before I do.

This morning however I found something new, 28 photos in Photo Booth.

I thought I would post a few to show how creative she is.

her I've been awake for like 5 minutes pout.

Let's punch myself in the face.

maybe I can be completely upside down

cute square head

cute puppy face no one can resist (or so she says)

I'm an evil Vampire

Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.

Fun with foam...

2011-06-11T20:21:00.000-07:00

I ended up having both girls spending the night last night. The parents stopped by to show off the new car with Missy Miss, and she asked if she could stay. So she stayed.

This morning Gramee and Grumpy were on their way to Ogden, so it was just the girls and I.

They let me sleep in and fed themselves and had fun on the computer and such while I slept. I love that they are older now and take care of themselves so I can sleep. *grins*

After I got up we decided to have some fun with the foam letters / animal stickers and such and make Kaleb (their cousin who turn's 1 tomorrow) some birthday cards.

As you can see from the above picture Missy had fun with the new fish and they both made "sun" glasses.

I love having fun with foam.

My Sister Suzie

2011-06-10T14:28:00.000-07:00

June 10, 2011 - Sister Suzie and Me

Today starts the first day of Summer and Sister Suzie is spending the day / night / day with me.

Missy Miss has a play date with her friends at the movies. They are seeing Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. These series of books will most likely be making it into their library next month.

The Boy is over at his Aunt Donna's playing with his cousins and spending the night. I heard all about the ice cream sundays that will be happening there tonight.

So Sis is with me. We don't plan on doing anything. Just sitting here at home, playing on the computer / iPad, watching soap operas and other television, and then watching movies tonight, maybe even some ice cream. Tomorrow is another one of those nothing days. Just the two of us doing what we do best.

IT'S A GIRL!

2011-06-09T12:08:00.000-07:00

Sooo excited! My sister is having a little girl. I know we already have 2 girls with sister suzie and missy... but another girl! Poor Ian... the only boy...

I'm wishing for the Name Cleo to be somewhere in her name!

I'm Back!

2011-06-08T14:54:00.002-07:00

Okie Dokie... I'm back!

Had a few technical difficulties the past few days.

Lyle (my macbook) got sick and wouldn't start. Ended up needing a new hard drive.

Now I have him back, but I have NOTHING on my computer. I was a dork and was in the process of backing up my media file, but didn't get my documents or pictures backed up. So yeah. BIG noob here. I lost ALL my pictures. This includes all pictures that have been taken with my phone, or my camera. oh, and all the cute things the kids have taken on photobooth. I'm really sad about this one. I do have some things that i uploaded to facebook... so I am lucky there.

I'm not really upset about my documents, because there wasn't really anything there that I can't try to find again, however I lost my fanfiction file. This is a file that had over two gig worth of fan fic from many different fandoms that I have collected for the last 6 or 7 years, and I KNOW that many of the stories I had in there are no longer available on the internet. I'm hoping to be able to find some of it in my delicious files... but I'm sure most of it is gone. I'm really depressed about this.

I have lost a few days now for NaBloPoMo, but I'm going to try to pick things back up. Who knows what I'll be blogging about, but I'm sure it will be fun.

Candy...

2011-06-03T19:52:00.000-07:00

I am a fan of candy... I love candy. I love all types of candy... I'm not big on chocolate, but candy is sooooo yummy!!!

DUH!.... Kevin Spacey

2011-06-02T15:16:00.002-07:00

Isn't he pretty...

I love Kevin Spacey. I'm such a fangirl when it comes to him. I just go all *squishy* when I hear about him on TV or see something new in a magazine or online.

I have loved him forever... or at least it seems like it has been forever. I first saw him on the 1996 Oscars when he won for "The Usual Suspects". I rented that movie and it just spiraled from there.... one after another after another. I became addicted.

I WORK FOR KEYSER SOZE!

Doctor Who

2011-06-01T00:46:00.004-07:00

This past Memorial weekend we spent a majority of the time having a Doctor Who Marathon. We started with Season 3 episode 10, Blink.

I've been trying to get past this episode for a while now. It scares me. Especially at night... and then for days afterwards I dream of statues coming to life. The show can kinda be freaky that way.

I'm such a fan of Doctor Who. I remember watching episodes of it when I was young and it played on PBS. When I was young Tom Baker (the fourth doctor) was my favorite.. I always loved his long scarf... but since the re-boot in 2005 David Tennent (ten) has become my doctor. I just want to love him and squish him and hold him and make him all better, especially towards the end. I especially love the companions of the Tenth Doctor... How he falls in love with Rose... How Martha falls in love with him, and how funny and great he was with Doctor Donna... I do love Donna. She has to be one of my all time favorite Characters.

Now Matt Smith is the eleventh doctor after 4 years of Ten. I like Matt Smith, but Ten will always be MY DOCTOR.

Lego Harry Potter

2011-05-29T17:43:00.001-07:00

I'm addicted... I've been playing Lego Harry Potter on my iPad for 2 days straight.

I'm loving it... My right wrist and shoulder are killing me... but I'm having so much fun.

Wednesday is the first of the new month. I'll be working on NaBloPoMo again this next month. I am going to try and do the theme for the month, which is FAN. But of course it's not something I have to stick with. Being such a fangirl of many things I think it might be an easy theme.

WHOOPS...

2011-05-15T10:24:00.004-07:00

Looks like I missed a few days...

There goes my blogging streak. I went 73 days in a row.

That's nearly 1/3 of my entire blog posting history!

I'm going to take a few days off now, since I've already missed a few days.

Be back soon!

I'm a girl with few friends and many acquaintances...

2011-05-12T00:04:00.000-07:00

DAY 12 - What you think about your friends

I love my friends. I think they are some of the best people in the world.

My very closest friends are actually one's that I've met on the internet. I know. Seems wild. We met years ago on a Kevin Spacey group. We made our own group and have been asking random questions ever since. We've even traveled together, and had many adventures, and met other people who we've brought in with us.

I love my girls.

There are also other's I've met along the way that have helped me out and been there and just been good friends. I do have many acquaintances, but I do have friends...

I love my friends.

Happy Birthday Sister Suzie!

2011-05-11T00:01:00.004-07:00

DAY 11 - A picture of you and your family

Here is a picture of me and our family. When Kyle and Emmy were down here for Christmas we found somewhere to get some new pictures taken. We had such great fun! Thanks to Kristy for taking the pictures for us!

Hoffman Family December 2010

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS

I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Dude, Bobarah, Sarah Ann...

2011-05-10T00:37:00.001-07:00

DAY 10 - Nicknames you have; why do you have them

I don't have many nicknames, unlike my nieces who seem to have like 20 a piece.

I was born with the nickname dude... Dad was calling me dude before I was even born. It's not one I get called very often anymore. But it will always be my favorite one.

Bobarah... This is a nickname that Jenn gave me. I don't even remember how it came about, but she still calls me bobarah. I love it.

Sarah Ann.... My Angela friend gave me this one. We've been friends for nearly 11 years now. She's the only one that calls me Sarah Ann. She always has, and hopefully she always will.

Antrim Castle

2011-05-09T00:31:00.000-07:00

DAY 09 - A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

Antrim Castle, Northern Ireland February 2010

Northern Ireland...

It was cold... It was beautiful...

I would love to go back, but this next time I'm going to go to Ireland and I want to visit London.

I also want to see Paris. I want to see all of Italy...

I just love to travel.

Playing with my hair...

2011-05-08T00:29:00.000-07:00

DAY 08 - A habit that you wish you didn’t have

I don't even notice that I do it. I'll be sitting watching television or reading, and I'll start braiding my hair one handed with my left hand. I know. it's weird, and most people are amazed to watch me do it. But yeah. I will braid little pieces of my hair with my left hand. and I don't realize I'm doing it most of the time.

Ramblings of the Obsessive Compulsive...

2011-05-07T00:28:00.000-07:00

DAY 07 - The meaning behind your Blog name

The meaning behind the name of my blog?

It started out just being "random" because I am random. I like being random. And I had to put in Kevin Spacey in some way because I've never had an account for any type of thing that didn't have the word spacey in it. So HisGirlSpacey had to be the address. Then it became me just rambling on about anything and everything. Sometimes making more than one post a day about NOTHING. And then I started to show a little more about my little obsessions, and the fact that I'm a little obsessive compulsive about some things (mom says I'm anal).

So there you go. It's just me Ramblings of the Obsessive Compulsive. Maybe one day I'll change the name of my blog. But for now it fits me.

300th POST

2011-05-06T12:18:00.004-07:00

DAY 06 - A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1- I'm addicted to Slim Jim's... You know, the beef stick things that you get at any convenience store. I'll go some day's eating 2-3 of them a day... some weeks up to 14 a week. Some week's I won't have any. I'm addicted to Slim Jim's.

2- I watch soap opera's ever day. ABC soaps: All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital. I love them. I've been watching these three soaps as long as I can remember. I'm really sad and heartbroken that two of them have been canceled. I guess I'll just not turn on the TV until 2.00 after the first of the year.

3- I also watch People's Court and Judge Judy (she makes me laugh)... I know. I'm just one of those people that sit around and watch daytime television. Regular television, not cable stuff.

4- I take my iPad with me everywhere I go. If I'm going to a restaurant, shopping, just a quick errand to the store, and if I'm taking my purse nine times out of ten my iPad is with me.

5- I love my kids. They really make me the happiest I could be. I love Thursday nights when their parents bring them over and all three sit in my chair with me. add the dog and we are a happy bunch. They really are the best.

6- I eat a lot of tomato's, green olives, cucumbers, dill pickles, and cheese... Some days this is all I eat. I also use a lot of vinegar and this mexican fruit seasoning called Tajin. LOVE the stuff.

7- I like to buy books for the kids. I buy them books all the time. These aren't books that are for birthdays or christmas or anything type of "present". They are just the next book in a series that they are reading, or something they might like to read. All 3 of them read so much. They just fly thru books, and I love that they love to read so much.

8- When I was younger I wanted to go to Culinary Arts school.

9- I used to own a truck. I bought it from my Grandpa and then eventually sold it to my dad. Yeah, he just seems to like to buy vehicles from me. He bought my jetta also.

10- I like to draw and paint. I am no good at it and haven't done it in a long time, but I love to do it. I've since given all my art supplies to 3 very creative and artsy children.

11- Most of my best friends are people I met on the internet. We've been friends for nearly 11 years.... We have even traveled together many times. I love my RQ girls.

12- I'm addicted to electronic gadgets. Especially new ones. I get jealous of anyone who has the new thing that I want.

13- I love the pop tarts commercials. I love how cute the little cartoon guys are. they are just adorable, and the jingles that go with them. I sing them all the time and mom gets irritated with me.

14- I wake up nearly every morning with some sort of pain. It's hard for me to get going in the morning, and some days I just want to stay in bed all day.

15- I'm a water snob. I don't drink water out of the tap unless it has been filtered. And I won't drink just any bottled water. I prefer nestle if I drink the "cheap" stuff... and if money were no object I would drink Evian and Fiji all the time. I also love Metro Mint water. Fell in love with the stuff in Albuquerque. Fizzy water also makes me very happy.

So now you know my dirty little secrets.

Jeremy says that I'm a Boy Scout... cause I'm always prepared...

There are still a few things left from Saturday's adventure to University of Phoenix Stadium.

But yeah... I have 3 types of gum in my bag. This is because I have 3 children around a lot that like different types of gum. Have to keep them happy.

2011-05-01T00:12:00.005-07:00

DAY 01 - Something you crave for a lot

Lemons. I crave lemons. I have for years now. I don't know if it is because I'm deficient in anything.

Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year

2011-04-30T00:01:00.003-07:00

It's My Life / Confessions Part II

2011-04-29T00:32:00.000-07:00

This song reminds me of my Mom and Grams and my childhood... It makes me happy...

Day 28 - A song that makes you feel guilty

2011-04-28T00:59:00.005-07:00

I really shouldn't love this song.

I mean. This song is about women with fat butts.

I've been listening to it as long as I can remember.

and I've always loved it. So I guess I should feel guilty,

But I don't.

Hope you enjoy the Glee version by Mark Salling.

Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play

2011-04-27T00:58:00.002-07:00

So, I can't play a song, I can't sing, I have no musical talent at all.

Yesterday I posted a song I would like to be able to sing.

Today I post a song that I would like to play.

I think this is an awesome cover...

Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument

2011-04-26T00:57:00.002-07:00

I can't play an instrument.

I can't sing.

I can't even whistle...

I don't have any musical talent of any kind.

If I could sing, I wish I could sing this song... well if I was male.

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

2011-04-25T00:52:00.002-07:00

This song is great! It makes me laugh and sing along every time...

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny - Lemon Deamon

Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral

2011-04-24T00:40:00.001-07:00

I don't want a funeral. I'm told by some that it is inevitable, but I don't want one.

I want to be cremated, and I want my ashes to be thrown into the Ocean off Point Perpetua on the coast of Oregon. I want my family to go there and spend some time, and have a party. I want a celebration.

However, if there was a funeral... I would love this song to be played.

Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding

2011-04-23T00:39:00.003-07:00

I've always wanted to dance to this song at my wedding... With this man singing it.

Day 22 - A song that you listen to when you’re sad

2011-04-22T00:37:00.002-07:00

I like to listen to country when I'm sad. I don't know what that's about.

I love Kenny Chesney. He's just yum and his voice makes me happy, and he sings a song with Dave Matthews. How could it get any better...

I'm Alive

OH... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Day 21 - A song that you listen to when you’re happy

2011-04-21T00:36:00.001-07:00

Barenaked Ladies make me happy. I love all their music, but when I hear this song I think of my babies... I don't know why.. maybe It's the chikety china, or the fact that all of them could sing it by the time they could talk.

One Week -

Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry

2011-04-20T00:35:00.002-07:00

I love listening to this song loud and over, and over again when I'm angry... Just makes me feel better to yell it out.

I like to listen to it other times as well. One of my favorite David Cook songs.

Day 19 - A song from your favorite album

2011-04-19T00:34:00.004-07:00

My favorite album???

Oh goodness... You mean I have to choose one. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I went looking thru my iTunes and I found lots of different albums that I love. Lots of favorites.

Augustana's Midwest Skies and Sleepless Monday's
Barenaked Ladies Rock Spectacle
Billy Joel River of Dreams
Cake Fashion Nugget
Dave Matthews Band Crash
Matchbox Twenty Mad Season

Oh goodness I could go on forever and ever and that's...

But I would have to say that my favorite album is one that my brother introduced to me years ago.

Dishwalla's Opaline

Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio

2011-04-18T00:27:00.007-07:00

Love this song... Wish i heard it on the radio. Maybe it is played on the radio, and I'm just not listening to the right station.

Enjoy!

Day 17 - A song that you hear often on the radio

2011-04-17T00:43:00.006-07:00

I don't listen to the radio much... If I do it's mostly FM Talk Radio. But when I do listen to music channels I hear this song on the radio all the time. And I do happen to love it...

Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate

2011-04-16T00:38:00.006-07:00

Anything by Chicago...

It's not anything that I can explain cause it's not my story... but It's Jenny's Fault!

Hope you enjoy.

Day 15 - A song that describes you

2011-04-15T00:21:00.005-07:00

When I was younger Starship's "Sara" was a popular song. Everywhere I went everyone would sing at me, "Sara, Sara storms are brewin in your eyes. Sara, Sara no time is a good time for goodbyes."

Oh my goodness how I hated that. Why couldn't they sing a good song, like "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oats or "Sara" by Fleetwood Mac... But noooo... All I got was Starship (even tho yesterday was a starship song)...

*giggles* I so know that this song doesn't "describe" me... but It's the best song ever made with my name!

Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love

2011-04-14T00:20:00.004-07:00

I don't know how to answer this one. Everyone knows that I'm willing to try anything once, music wise at least. So me loving a song that no one would expect isn't going to happen.

So, today is going to be: A song from when you were a kid...

I remember getting my first tape/record player. I remember going shopping for Emalee's first records (it was a shared christmas gift [1985?]). She got Lionel Richie and Starship...

So, here's a song that I love from when I was a kid.

Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

2011-04-13T00:16:00.003-07:00

At one point in time Justin Timberlake was my guilty pleasure... but then so many of my friends loved him so I thought it was okay to love him out loud also.

I'm really having a problem thinking of a guilty pleasure song, let alone artist. *sigh* The only song I can really think of that I love that I probably shouldn't that much is the song on a commercial. Yes I said that right, I am in love with a song on a commercial. A song that was most likely written just for said commercial. It is the advertisement for San Diego tourism. It is a by The Mae Shi, or you can find it by The Anthems.

Smile On

Day 12 - A song from a band you hate

2011-04-12T00:02:00.002-07:00

This one is really hard, because I don't think that I hate any band. I may dislike most of their music, but many, many bands have at least 1 song that I like to listen to.

So... today lets do: A song that gets in your head and won't leave...

Lately it has been Justin Bieber's Baby... I don't listen to the radio much, and I've only heard this song on television and such.

So... Here you go.

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

2011-04-11T01:57:00.001-07:00

Love this band...
love this song...

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

2011-04-10T01:56:00.001-07:00

This one is really hard, cause music doesn't make me fall asleep... it actually keeps me awake. I listen to it and I start singing it in my head while I'm trying to sleep. Doesn't work.

So I'm going to change this one to: A song that you like to listen to when you're depressed...

Okay. So now it's just all my Glee music. It all makes me happy. I like listening to it. I know, I'm a freak. *shrugs* oh well. I kinda like being a freak.

But years ago there was one album that I always played when I was depressed. It's still one of my very favorites. The Dumb and Dumber soundtrack. LOVE IT!

so.. Enjoy Green Jelly and Bear Went Over The Mountain...

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to

2011-04-09T01:53:00.004-07:00

This song always makes me want to move...

America
Marty Robbins
and The Statler Brothers...

countin' flowers on the wall...

Day 06 - A song that reminds you of somewhere

2011-04-06T00:35:00.002-07:00

I have lots of songs that remind me of lots of places, but this song reminds me of my girls and Thanksgiving in Castle Rock, Colorado.

Love ya JT!

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone

2011-04-05T00:42:00.009-07:00

We're going into the way back machine to a song from High School.

Whenever I hear this song I think of my sister's best friend from High School, Jessica. I don't know if its even a song she listened to, or sang a lot, or even liked... but whenever I hear it I think of Jessica.

Goo Goo Dolls - Name

Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

2011-04-04T00:28:00.002-07:00

I know of one song that makes me sad when I hear it, and I've actually turned the station or turned off the radio when it is on. Good thing it is an older song and they don't play it much anymore. At least not on the station I listen to.

We lost a good friend when I was in 8th grade to suicide. He was in 9th grade and our next door neighbor. Every time I hear Wind Beneath My Wings I think of him and his funeral and it just makes me sad all over again. so... Here you go.

Day 03 - A song that makes you happy

2011-04-03T01:20:00.001-07:00

A song that makes me happy.... When asking mom about this she mentioned something like Bob Marley. I thought of that and it sounds like a good idea, but then I remembered something that makes me smile and happy every time I hear it, and that's cause I think of a little 7 year old who LOVES the song...

chicka chicka boom boom

Day 02 - Your least favorite song

2011-04-02T03:42:00.005-07:00

This song totally drive's me INSANE! I mean totally bonkers.

So here's the 5 6 7 8's WooHoo

Day 01 - Your favorite song

2011-04-01T02:27:00.007-07:00

If you were to go to my iTunes and looked at the songs by the number of plays you would see what my favorite song of the moment is. The thing is. I don't think it's my very favorite song. And this month of blogging is going to be hard, because I LOVE music. I don't know if I could tell you what my very favorite song is. There are so many that I love to listen to, and so many that bring up different feelings. So this will be an experience for all of us.

My favorite music of the moment is from the television show Glee

It is actually embarrassing how much I listen to Glee. The top listened song is "Taking Chances", a cover of Celine Dion's song.

Hope you enjoy!

2011-03-17T17:10:00.000-07:00

I've been out of my sleeping medication for the last 3 months. It's my fault... I missed my doctor's appointment in January and the soonest they could get me in is next week. So, none of my meds got refilled in January. I've been able to get away with them calling in all my other meds, but he won't call in my ambien. It has TOTALLY screwed with my circadian rhythm. I just want my sleeping to be back in control. This going to bed at 4-5 am and waking up at 11 am -12 pm just is not working for me anymore.

Smelt Sands Oregon June 2010

I have many favorite memories. Especially last Summer in Florence Oregon. We went to my grandmother's house for a family reunion and was able to reunite with lots of cousins and aunts and uncles. It was a total blast. On one of these days my immediate family went to Smelt Sands, a beach north of Florence. There are all these tiny stones and we just spent the day playing in the dirt. It was a wonderful day...

Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show

2011-03-03T11:50:00.002-07:00

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts

2011-03-01T19:03:00.008-07:00

Me 26.12.10

1- I'm an information/technology junkie. I like having all the new fun stuff.
2- I watch way too much television.
3- I've suffered from insomnia since I was 16. Right now my clock is totally off so i go to sleep around 4 am.
4- I have an unhealthy obsession with my dog. She's a little spoilt. Maybe not as much as she could be, but as much as I can get away with.
5- I live with my parents.
6- I like to read. I especially like to read fan fiction.
7- My nieces and nephew are the best things in my life. They make me happy.
8- I like sandwiches. Sandwiches are my favorite food. I LOVE a good sandwich...
9- I like to think that I'm smart. But I know that there are a lot of things out there I know NOTHING about.
10- I do nothing but read an watch soap opera's all day.
11- I'm addicted to Glee.
12- I like watching TMZ... they make me laugh.
13- I take my iPad with me everywhere I go.
14- I'm a candy addict. I've tried to get off sugar, but I only lasted 12 days.
15- I'd rather sit in a dark room than a room full of sunlight.

2011-02-02T21:50:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this whole idea I had. But here it is.

So today's character is one of my very favorite television characters. Josh Lyman...

Josh is a character from the television series 'The West Wing', created by Aaron Sorkin. Josh is one of the sharpest minds on the President's staff. He is witty, somewhat cocky, and has this boyish charm that many women fall in love with.

I'm not sure why I love this character so much. It could be his cockyness (i think I just made up that word), or his wit, or his boyish charm, or it could be actor Bradley Whitford's brown eyes and dimples. But he will always be one of my favorites.

Character's Welcome...

2011-02-01T12:38:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since I've done much writing. It's been a long time since I've done much of anything to tell the truth, but we're going to try this again. Maybe I'll actually get thru a month. That's a goal that I can work with.

February's NaBloPoMo is about Character. I don't usually follow their monthly theme's, but I thought that this might be fun.

Character has about 20 different definitions in the dictionary; there is the origin, the noun, adjective, and verb... Now when I hear the word character my mind goes directly to TV and those USA network Character's Welcome commercials. Now why am I bringing that up? I thought that I would write about my favorite "Character's".

We'll see how this plans out...

it's been a while..

2010-12-19T11:00:00.000-07:00

I have no idea where the time went. I swear yesterday it was just July...

I'm going to try and get back into the swing of things here. Everything just kinda went wacko there on me for a while.

Hope all you are well,

we helped some...

2010-07-21T00:26:00.001-07:00
