So Honey the dog thought it would be funny to wake me up 30-minutes before my alarm went off. I didn't think it was funny at all and it was not a fun way to start the day. I wish my Husband were here to help me with her. And the day after he gets back is the surgery so he won't have to tough it out with me at all.


It snowed this morning in the mountains and rained in the city and the snow on the Sandia's was beautiful this afternoon. I couldn't get a great picture but I love the way the mountains look. I can't imagine living somewhere without the beautiful views we get. Makes you so happy to be alive!





Another attempt at the mountains. So pretty!









Went to Happy Hour with Jess and David. Savoy has 1/2 price bottle wine night on Tuesday's and it was totally worth it. I need a break and a glass of wine and it was amazing! Their baked goat cheese is also an amazing appetizer. So great! I love this restaurant, well the bar anyway!








I was taking pictures of the house and Nacho didn't understand why I was in the tub. So he climbed up to get a better look. He really is a super cute dog! I feel kinda bad for him this time of year because its so cold and he is so little, but his jacket keeps him warm!

Can't believe its Monday! I was not excited to go to work...I know how much I have to do! Clarence is still gone and Honey is still not sleeping well. I normally don't miss Clarence when he is gone. Its nice having some time on our own. BUT this time I really miss him! I think we have been spending too much time together since we have gotten married and now I can't stand to spend time away from him. ;0)


Oy, trying to get organized is tough! That was probably the toughest part of my day. Its hard when you know you have so much to do to and can't set time aside to get everything together. But I now feel prepared and ready to hit the ground running. (That doesn't mean I don't have a TON of stuff to do still)...





While cleaning out my bathroom (yes the house again) I took all the drawers out of the bathroom, emptied them and put them on the floor. Nacho is so nosey and is constantly in everything! Including drawers. He climbed into this empty drawer and just hung out there.

So I have been trying to eat healther but hate giving up all sweets. I went to the store in search of something yummie and realized that I love Skinny Cow desserts. They have these cones, that are like drumsticks, and are delish (and only 150 calories). Anyway, if your dieting and need something sweet I would suggest these desserts!

Woke up this morning and realized that I still had a lot to do around the house. I feel like this house is going to be my obsession for a LONG while! Well at least until it sells. I guess we could be surprised and it could sell quickly (fingers crossed) but I don't want to get my hopes up!


Our master bedroom. All clean and sad. I cleaned all the rooms and then ran around taking pictures for the listing. Its hard getting good angles in all these square rooms. Hopefull the realtor likes some of the shots. The realtor also came over today and we created the listing. We listed it just from today to Monday so we could get the pictures loaded and will officially start the listing Friday. The sign is sitting in my front room and I'm so excited to put it in the ground Friday morning! I'm sure we will take a picture of that!!

AHHHH!!! Its that time of year AGAIN!!! The Supernational's are in two weekends and I cannot believe its already here. Spent the evening at my Mom's, not working on carshow stuff, but Dad was in full swing. I really admire his ability to manage life and this HUGE show. And as much as I hate this time of year, I really love this show. Its as much of a part of this family as my any of us.

At first glance, this looks just like a blue bag, but it holds my shots and shot supplies. I've changed my Autoject pen several times but NEVER the bag. And its been 6 1/2 years since I began my shots. While I do them every night, I still cringe right before I inject. I understand how important they are...but I DO NOT enjoy them. So while this looks like a little blue bag, it is so much more. It reminds me that for the rest of my life I will have this disease. HOWEVER it does not have me!

Fun filled, Saturday. We were throwing Leanna a baby shower (had to be rescheduled due to the early appearance of Zach in December). It was so nice seeing all the girls and just spending girl time all day!

RuthAnn came and spent the night. We went and had dessert at Flying Star and then watched Julie & Julia. We always fall asleep on the couch! So that is what we did last night too!

Melissa made a diaper cake for Leanna - she is super creative. Can't imagine how much time that took!! I'm going to have to try one of those one day!

The cake we bought for the party. It was from Smith's and they did a great job! I would order a cake from them again anytime!

Lots to do today. Woke up with the worst sinus headache ever (just when I thought this cold was going away) so worked from bed all morning long.

Took Honey to the Vet for X-rays, she was still feeling bad. Turns out she has a stone in her bladder and has to have surgery right away. We are taking her back next Friday for the surgery, hopefully all will go well. It should make her feel better though, poor thing is not doing so well right now.

Went and talked about our 10-year reunion and what we need to do to plan the event. Can't believe we are at that point!!

Hein's Birthday party was tonight. Devin and I decorated the house and everyone showed up at 9. It was fun but I missed Clarence being there! Can't wait for him to come home!

January 14, 2010

Feeling better today. Overall was a pretty uneventful day. Clarence found out he was going to have to go to El Paso for a week last night so he left today for that. Usually it doesn't bother me when he leaves but I'm feeling sad he is gone this time. Oh well, I'm going to have to figure out a way to entertain myself!



Sunrise on the way to work.








My sad, empty kitchen. There are no pictures just empty counter space!







The only plan I've ever been able to keep alive! It needs to be repotted, I need to find a new pot for it. Any ideas on where to find a pretty one??











My dogs love to sun bathe in the corner of the back yard. I'm pretty sure that is where they spend most of their days.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy! We toasted for his birthday (anniversary) tonight! Miss you bunches but know are here with us all the time!

Back to work today! Starting to feel better but can still tell I have this stupid cold. Hopefully it will be gone soon!!


Another sunrise. Wish I could have gotten a better picture, the clouds looked amazing coming over the Sandias!!








This guys car was hilarious!! He had two bumper stickers making fun of Obama. A pride sticker. A disco ball hanging from his mirror and he was dancing in the front seat! I wanted to be dancing in his car with him. Looked like fun!

Nacho hates bed time! He will just sit there and stare at the bed until we force him to go to bed. I think he just always wants to be up and partying!!
