presentation!~!!!!!

wow.....that's about all i can say........WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on tuesday of this week a large box was delivered to our door.......... upon cutting the tape and starting to open the top noises from the RAIN FOREST started coming from inside.......what was this???? tree frogs...............green or red tree frogs............the POISONOUS kind????? yep...............it was green tree frogs...............in a small little crate......surrounded by straw.......and on top of the little crate was our ITINERARY.......for the costa rican cruise................!!!!!!!

i can only say the presentation of this was SPECTACULAR!! can you imagine all the little sound devices they had to put into boxes......along with all the little crates with tree frogs.......to deliver to all the MASTER ELITE winners of this cruise???........someone deserves a raise..............such imagination to create something like this...............wish i would have thought of it!!!

well......another week at my new job and i still love it................have to stay away from any of the gossip.........will NOT be a part of any of it!! the boys are too funny........and dr. n nicknamed me SPARKY.............can you imagine???

what a great today was...............shared some time with girlfriends........love them.........and can't wait to see them...............tootsie told me that the new grandbaby will be here on march 3.......it's a monday.............fair of face................we found out that she was born on a tuesday...........full of grace......YEAH RIGHT................she's the queen of clutz................oooopppppsss.........was that my outside voice??? i just love babies.............can't wait to hold them.............ALL!!!!!!

still trying to finish my charms...........i'm putting one in the mail to megan for the grace crop........it will be postal by tomorrow............

better get moving..............need to go get onto the treadmill..............gotta lose 10lbs by march 8..........then keep it off till june..............don't want to be the chubby mother of the bride.........i have gained sooooo much since december............rex had to explain to me how depressed i was then...............damn......it's really hard to not realize how bad things really are until someone we love tells us! i am sooooo glad i have him and he supports me in all that i do............god smiled down on me the day he came into my life!!

gonna run............(okay..........walk fast!)

xoxo,

i love my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry about the sideway photos..........still kinda photo illiterate!

damn skippy......it's me AGAIN!!

yeppers......can you believe it.........i'm back again!!!

had the best weekend........got to sleep with toots.............well......in the same room!!! jumped on the bed........fell off the banister...........yep.......too much JOSE' for me......actually was patron......just damn good tequilla!!!!!!!

i finished my page swaps......just need to finish my charms now............i mailed off my secret sister gift and i'm feeling pretty good about things!!! my new job is still going great........ and i took myself a nap with the puppies..........how much better can it get!!!

here are some photos of the pages............and one of mr.butt and myself taken at the holidays!!!

i love my life!!!

hang on.........it's me again!!!

i'm just waiting for tootsie to arrive...........so thought i'd chat a bit!!! i'm off for the weekend with toots, michele and another girl..............we are going to a scrapbook weekend event...........will get to see miss monica and miss katie.........love those girls.............also will get to see some other friends..............love to see them...................

i hope to get some stuff done...............i have page swaps, charms and some other stuff to finish...........what fun it would be to actually accomplish something while there.........besides talking......eating........shopping............drinking.............and just generally screwing around!!!

the puppies have been a little clingy the last couple of days........not sure if it's due to the cold weather..........or the fact that i had a day off this week and hung out with them............now apollo just wants to sit on my lap................and for those who don't know mr. apollo..........he's about 28 lbs of lovable skin condition..................and it's not just putting a paw on you.............NO>>>>>>>>>>>.he has to be completely on your lap....getting you sooooo toasty that it's instant sleep................then there is comet...............my aloof puppy.........he'd rather hang out at the end of the couch............and lick my feet............he's about 12 lbs.........and is more like a cat than a dog............however.......i just love my little guys.............

well..........guess i better finish packing.............tootsie will be here any minute............well..........she's here right now!!!!!!!!

i love my crazy life!!!

time flys...........hi jennie!!!!

time sure does fly.............it seems like just last week i was worried about my first amendment rights and whether i would continue to blog..................looks like i'm gonna keep it up!!

well........thank goodness that i lost my job and found another............this new place is sooooo fabulous..........work is hard and fast..........no time for listening to people bitch and crab.....and sometimes they do...............and it's totally NON-TOXIC...........saw one of the old doctors i used to work with....he now works at this center...........his response was..."it's like old home week".......then he went to the boss and told her that they got the "cream of the crop from the old center!"..... how nice was that!

i have definitely decided not to go to Ce this year...........laurie is going to take my place........and it will be great for her...........she had been ill this past fall and winter......and had to cancel Scrap, ETC...........and hopefully she will be well for arizona............and enjoy her trip immensely!!! i will miss all the girls......however i will make a point to be there next year..........and have a great time!!

jennie........lookie.............i updated...................hope we get to hang out soon...............and i want to go to dinner with the other peas............

well........i'm getting ready to go to bed..............going to have off on friday.......and i'm going on a weekend retreat.......so i need to get some things done..........and i need to get some sleep............

i will try to post some photos................rex and i took some over the holidays.......just need to photoshop them.............and i am going to work on my page swaps.......and also my charms.............hopefully i'll have them done......and will post those too!!!

love to all.............remember.........i love my crazy life!!!!!!!

ooooohhhh.....got a goofy letter from vista prints.com.........and i got a free pen, calendar magnets, t-shirt and a bunch o'crap and had them all made to say "i put the lime in the coconut!"..........fun, huh???

k............i'm outta here!

First Amendment and Questions!!!

Wow......what a day!!!!!!! i started my new job today........what fun!!! i had a great time.....worked hard and can't wait to go back tomorrow!!! i really love what i do for a career......helping people.......easing their pain......and making life just a little easier for their families.......just love it!!! and what great co-workers.......

okay.......my question is pretty simple.....yet very complex........do i continue to blog.....and post comments to yahoo ........and maintain my First Amendment Rights........or do i just tuck my tail and run????

kind of a difficult decision i need to make...........seems that a comment i made on a yahoo group regarding MY interpretation of an event is coming back to hurt some people that i care about......and it really has NOTHING to do with them........... someone who didn't have enough nerve to address this issue with me......i just don't get it!

perhaps it's something i'm not supposed to understand..........i do believe that i have the right to speak my mind........and i believe others have that same right..............i just don't get this.............

perhaps i will sleep on it...................perhaps God will guide me...................i can only pray that this will somehow have a good ending.............


i do love my life............questions, speech and all!!! ohhhh....especially my new job!
