2nd Honeymoon...if we get out of the Storm

I am off tomorrow for a week in Mexico with my Hubby. We went to NYC in August for our official honeymoon however that city isn't exactly relaxing! So I am calling this trip our second honeymoon and we are off tomorrow, although there is a big winter storm rolling in so I am a little worried we will not make it out of here! PV is a wonderful place and I am hoping Kim likes it as much as I do. My family used to vacation there when I was in high school....lots of great memories!
Happy New Year Everyone! 2008 was great to me so I am hoping 2009 is fantastic to you!

This Brat

Is the reason why I sleep in on my holidays....he wakes me up at 3:00 am every night just because he feels like sitting in the snow for awhile. Let me set the record straight and be sure to point out that he is an INDOOR dog and his entire life has freaked out if he was left outside. He loves being inside! My new routine is to sleep on the couch and wait for him to DEMAND back inside whenever he feels the need!
I could not love this brat more!

365

I am starting my own 365 project and I will keep up to date, enjoy and celebrate life. For those of you that do not know what a 365 project is.......well google it! I will be updating my 365 on my flickr which is now linked in the top right hand of this blog.
Kim is home from work as he is not feeling well....I hope he gets better because we leave for MEXICO on Friday!
Went to Marley & me last night....which is why I have Alien eyes today. Oh my what a tear jerker especially when I have 2 senior pooches in my life. You could hear sobbing throughout the theatre!

7 Random facts about ME.

1. I hate mushy food with the passion.
2. I have a serious magazine addiction.
3. I am really shy but not really shy at the same time.
4. I used to call myself Big Purple of Shell Lake.
5. When i come home from work and no one is here but the dogs I totally loose it and dance around like a maniac.....it is really just a show for the pooches...they love it! If anyone caught me, they would think I am totally nuts!
6. I wish I had more energy.
7. I love mumu's..but my hubby hates them! The pic is me on my wedding day getting ready in my FAVOURITE Mumu!!!!

Xmas

Well it is Saturday and our Christmas celebrations are finally over! My pants feel tight but we had a great first Xmas as a married couple. We hosted Kim's family here for Xmas and I think it went over rather well. My husband is amazing at cleaning and being organized which meant that things around here went smoothly. My mother in-law, sister in-law and Kim basically cooked everything and I pretty much stayed out of the kitchen which was great! Everyone knows that if Xmas diner was cooked by me it would turn into chicken and rice. I left all the mush cooking those that like mush!
Last night we went to Lydia's for what turned out to be a high school reunion. It was more fun than I had expected! Today we just laid low and went out for some good old vietnamese food and now I am going to head upstairs to join Kim on the couch.
Oh yeah and the one pic is of Kim cleaning up Koda's hair after a little xmas brushing!

Craft Night Part 2

I hosted craft night the other night and Kass, Jenn and Sarah came over for some food, wine spritzer's and crafts. We are trying to make wreath's like the one's they have in Starbucks right now. However our fun little easy project has turned into a much bigger project than we had expected. We ran out of yarn and the food, wine and conversation took over. Oh yeah and the wedding books arrived and I wanted to post how they looked. I made them online at www.blurb.com I was really happy with the results and will be creating more for sure.
Last night we hosted Christmas Eve at our place and we had a really nice time. More pictures to come on that.

80's

My friends boyfreind text me a message asking if my friend was a skid back in the day. Which really got me thinking about the 80's and my early childhood so I looked around the net and found a few gooders to share. Let me clarify I was a KID in the 80's and not a teenager! My friends boyfriend on the other hand was just a baby at the time.

It is COLD outside.

I officially have 2 minutes of my morning internet time left.
It is freezing cold outside.
Today is my last work day before 3 weeks of holidays.
Went to a retirement party last night for my co-worker Darryll, he is an awesome guy that I am going to miss. He also teaches Grade 8 and helps keep me sane when I feel like losing my mind and/or or punching some kid...so Darryll really helps me keep me my job and out of jail:)
Getting a haircut after work...should be interesting as I HATE almost all hari stylists after I sit in their chair......nice I know but they all make me very upset! Ask my mother, she knows not to ask " how is your hair" the day I get it done because the answer is never positive...so I try and stay away from salons as much as possible, hence the 80's banger hair!
Off to school for Turkey diner!

Happy Birthday Big Guy!

Grandma came over with presents, we wore party hats and ate a delicious diner! I love you Sanowdapop! The cute police did not come by however I am sure they received a lot of complaints! Two more days of school and I am off for three weeks. Tomorrow we are going on a field trip and then on Friday we have a big xmas diner for the students! Yeah!

Getting READY

Getting ready for the big day! I came home from work tonight and make puppy cupcakes for the brat's birthday. He was very excited and gobbled one up as soon as he could. You can even put peanut butter icing on these however I am thinking I will pass on that as it could get really messy. These cuppycakes have carrots, cheese and peanut butter in them! Love you snowdabear!

Product Junkie!

Hello There!
I am actually still pretty sick however I did manage to find some greatness in this sick and yucky day......A Pile of Organic stuff at Shopper's Drug Mart. A lot of you know I have been a product junkie since i was about 12 years old. I love love love products! I was AMAZED at all of the NEW all natural products they have there. Believe me I go there often enough and tonight I was blown away with all of the new stuff, from lotions and potions all the way through the a pile of new hair care!
The first thing I found was that Almay came out with what seems to be really nice Natural make-up. Free off Parabens, talc etc. I will try it out and let you know if it is good or not. Oh yeah and I bought there blush to. Cannot really go wrong with Blush!
The second thing I bought was Avalon Organics Vitamin C skin nourshing cream....no colors, no synthethic scents, no parabens!!! Yeah!!!!!
I bought 4 hair care products there which I am a little skeptical about but totally excited about. A couple of weeks ago I bought Organic shampoo and conditioner and they both SUCKED big time! However, today I bought Organic Surge grapefruit shampoo and conditioner. The product I am excited about is LaCoupe ORGNX brand Hair care. Hair Care is full of toxic phlates and this new line is free of that crap. Will keep you posted on if it is good or not.
Oh yeah, and Shopper's organic snacks are fantastic. the organic popcorn is really really good. Normally I would like to wash it down with some good old chemical filled diet coke....but since I am on this all natural kick I am trying to stop that terrible habbit I have. I blame my mother for my addiction to aspertame, no not because she smoked while she was preggo with me but b/c she always drank it and got me hooked at a young age! Love you mom:)
Ok off to feel better!

SICK

So this morning I woke up SICK! I feel brutal and I m not happy about having a cold:(
We had my staff party on Friday night and I had a pretty good time. We went bowling and dancing!
Today Kim and I did a few errands and then I took the dogs for a walk in the freezing cold. I now have a Sunday dog walking ritual with Christina ( Kim's co-worker). Christina has a Rodishian Ridge Back. It was sooooo cold I barely made it. Koda and kasey actually decided to head back to the parking lot early to due to the fact it was sooo cold.
As for the above pictures, the one is a shot of the fabric I just ordered from etsy. The fabric is from Amy Butler Design. I am having one of my students make pillows with the fabric!
The little pic of my presents is to show you that I have actually started to wrap some presents. I am nowhere near finished shopping yet. I have done a bit of online shopping and I just love it!
The little boy pic is of my hubby when he was a tyke. He stuck his hands in an oil barrel at the farm.......sooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!
I am loving my new computer although I am sort of wishing I bought a laptop......oh well!
That's all for now!

Ok so I my new thing is natural products. Not because I want to go green or save the plant, although that is great to however because there are sooooo many chemicals in our products this day in age that can potentailly give us cancer! Think about it.....cancer is rampant among our world today. The baby boomer generation is full of it. That same generation has been raised in this chemical synthetic age. In the 60's 70's and 80's there was a chemical developed for EVERYTHING!! Women especialliy need to be aware. How many beauty products do you use in the morning between shampoo, conditioner, hairspray,deoderant, foundation, blush, mascara, lotion etc......LOT's. That stuff is absorbed by our pores and goes almost directly into our bodies! The beauty industry is not held accountable for what they put into their products. It is a billion dollar industry that target's people like you and me. Companies such as Avon, Revlon, Loreal have chemiclas known as phalates and parabens in their products that are PROVEN to cause cancer.
The site I posted above could help save your life. Punch in whatever product you want to know about it it will give you a rating as to how much chemical crap is seeping into your pores each and everyday.
It is important. I promise you.

December 3rd

I am sitting here wasting sooo much time on the computer and feeling guilty. I was supposed to meet Lauren at 6:45 for Bootcamp and I totally bailed out. I am sorry Lauren. No excuse but I just did not get my butt in gear in time...forgive me. I know my rear end won't!
An another note, I am posting a picture of my husband's pet peeve...my closet mess! Oh man this drives him crazy and I let it build up pretty good to!
Yesterday i did a little bit of Xmas shopping and bought Benji this really cute sweater from Old Navy, it was %40 off.
The other picture is of Kasey's poor eye. Oh my it is in rough shape. She has a couple of cysts on it and it has been bleeding lately. Poor Girl. She is beside me right now and she just let out a really nice burp!!!!
Kass and i are hoping to have another craft night sometime in the near future. Should be good. Her sister Cori came to our last one and ended up entertaining us all night.....she failed to get into the crafting however I really enjoyed catching up with her.
I think that is it for now. Bye!

kim and Treyton, Teena's baby.

Frustrated

I am soooo frustrated right now. This computer is sooo freaking slow and it is my brand new expensive Mac. It's like I have dial up for crying out loud. Plus I just smashed my hand in between my chair and this table and it hurts. We need to order more Thank you cards and this computer is so slow it keeps cutting me out of my photo sites. Kasey keeps trying to come downstairs but she is having soo much trouble getting up these days she just falls all over the place but she won't give up coming down here. She will just come down and eat our nasty roomates garbage out of the bathroom. Oh yeah and someone shit all over our rugs that we just had professionally cleaned last week. Benji won't stop itching and he has an open sore on his back that looks like he has been shot. I gotta go my hand hurts and I am being a big fat SUCK!!!!!

OMG Blogger takes so long to add photos. I took way more pictures this weekend however it is taking me forever to load each one. Does anyone else that has a blogger blog have this problem?
Anyways this past weekend was a nice one. Friday night was craft night. I have posted a crappy pic of my unfinished craft. I went over to Kass's house and we had a great time drinking a little wine and making these 3 yarn tree's. It was a little more labour intensive than either one of us had planned but we both are happy with the results. I will post a finish shot of mine soon. Kass's sister Cori came over and entertained us while we worked hard wrapping our yarn.....it took forever and we ran out of yarn.....hence why mine is not done.
Saturday Kim and I did a few errands. I bought a new canon elph.....LOVE it!
Mandy and Jordan came over for diner and then later on Geoff and Michelle came by with their 3 month old puppy. Oh my, you would have thought I stabbed Benji and Koda through the heart.....they were VERY upset by the new little visitor!
On Sunday we drove u to the farm to visit Kim's parent's. Stopped by our friends place to meet their new baby. He was only a week old...very fresh. I will post pics later when I am not trying to get off to school. It is a PD day today......yeah no students and I get to arrive right at 9!!!!!!!!
