Seth, Landon and Maddox...
this was a scene at my BBQ this last weekend... the sun had just gone down and we lit a fire in my small fire pit doohickey. The boys grabbed their drinks, kicked back and relaxed.

In the background was my princess-castle moon jump--it rocked.

Sister in a former life...

I had the best email waiting for me when I got to work on Monday... my Space Camp/College friend, Kate, had emailed me that she was in town for one day and asked if I wanted to have dinner.

"hell yes" was my reply.

You know those college friends that I have spoken about before that you can see them after X amount of time and pick up your conversation like you just had to run out for a quick pee. Kate and i could always finish each other sentences and know what the point was to our sentence and make a head motion like "you don't need to finish, i know what you are talking about, move on..."
It was so nice to see her and we had the best dinner with tons of gab. It still amazes me how different our lifes are (her with 3 kids, 4 if you count her husband :) ) and me with my two dogs, single as single can be, but how our feelings and emotions are so similar--having the same fears & goals.
I was so sad when our night ended... but I'm sure when i see her again in June, we'll just be gabbin' like we were apart for 5 minutes. Love ya Kate!

I love my dogs, but sometimes...

So, this past weekend was my huge BBQ that I've been advertising for the last million weeks. I worked really hard on the house, and people said it looked great, so I'm going to take their word for it.


Well, during the prep of the house, I was trying to purge my house of any dog funk so I took all the cushions off of the couch, vacuumed the base of it, each cushion and then fe.breezed the hell out of all of it.


I then moved onto another part of the house, letting that dry and such. When I came back into the room, this is what was waiting for me...

Seriously!? Both of you HAD to lay on cushions!
So much for getting the dog funk off of the couch!

Back in the Game?

It has been awhile since I have posted an entry. My excuse? There really isn't one. I could sit here and write 50,000 reasons why and none of them are good enough to explain what is just pure laziness and self-imposed guilt of not being true to myself.
Self truth--that is what I'm going to work on. When I tell my friends or my sister or doctor that I've done x, y & z just so I won't have to hear about me not following the rules of WW or a healthy lifestyle, who am I hurting? ME! It is not their heart I'm filling with crap, it is not there restless nights, it is not their pants that don't fit, it is not their scramble to find somewhere to wear in Vegas, it is MINE and no other. (I will pause for a moment and say that I was very good in Vegas, I did watch what I ate and such; but then for some reason I came back and all bets were off--why do I do that?). So when I'm lying to others, I'm just lying to myself, and I am taking one step closer to an early grave. And what the hell is up with waiting for the new gym to open before I will get my ass in gear. GET UP you lazy fat blob. GET UP. Is it going to kill you to walk around a track, or a block? NO, the answer is NO. Will it kill you to just sit on the couch and then sulk about not getting up--YES, the answer is YES. It won't be tonight, or tomorrow, but it is coming down that road--can you see the headlights Nicole, can you? Those lights are the ones at the end of your tunnel...

About Me

My photo

I'm a 30-something single chica who has two awesome dogs (Brody and Samson). I just moved into my 'dream' home, it was pure hell to get there, but the reward was sweet. I have an adiction to fused glass and built a studio above my garage to help support my habit.
