No words... love it! I have it on Hi-def... Ron and I watched together and she muted me because i was screaming and clapping! I'm in hysterics... this movie is going to rock! I KNOW IT! I can feel it... as soon as tickets go on sale here... you know my butt is buying that day!
Feast your eyes... enjoy... pure bliss, perfection...*sigh* and *swoon*
I need to reread Twilight before the movie!
Kissing scene... sweet, "say it... say it" "vampire"... yeah baby!
and my mom brought me back some goodies from Utah... a "Jacob is my Alpha" t-shirt... totally wearing that tomorrow!
what what!

The "stuff"
Through out my life at least and I'm sure most of ours... we all kind of go through quirks, I guess. Let me explain what happens.... I get OBSESSED with something.
Whenever I decide to do something, try something, like something... whatever, I go full bore, head on into it... and just devour anything and everything having to do with the subject... case in point... yesterday
So yesterday I decided to take the kids to McDonalds (gag), for a treat and because I'm "slightly" lazy, Logan has drill this weekend... A LONG ONE! So we get their happy meals... and they have the Wizard of Oz toys there... I about FLIPPED out of my seat!
I love the Wizard of Oz... always have, I used to watch that movie... at least 2-3 times a week when I was younger. So there are 12 figurines in all. The toy "drive" for these started at the middle of September, and is going on until the 9th of October... so I have of course missed out on like half of these figurines..
Does this detour me... heck no, I called McDonalds and Logan and I stopped by two last night and I called my sister and mom who are both out of state and are now on the hunt for the VERY LAST ONE WE NEED... the "flower munchkin".
Yes you read right... in a matter of 2 hours, I managed to scare up 11 of the 12 figurines (times 2... one set for me and one set for the kids). And I know where to get the 12th one. the McDonalds by Dulces house will be putting #9 out tomorrow! WOO HOO! Collection is complete!
Yes I am also..slightly "loser-ish".. but I don't care they are so freaking CUTE
Another thing I'm all about right now is the Moose's Tooth
I have discovered with the help of Dianne... the "Lunch Special" included are: 1 slice of pizza, 1 salad and 2 bread sticks all for the AWESOME price of $7.50 (now anyone who lives in Anchorage... KNOWS that the Moose's Tooth is the creme de la creme of Pizza)
Digi Scrapping on my "baby" (my Mac).. a site I like to shop on is... Little Dreamer's Designs
Can I just say that this little machine... rocks my world.. second to my hubby and my kids! I love this thing.. its small and can do EVERYTHING... yes I am turning slowly into a "Mac Snob"
Now Pink came out with this new video... and I've always liked her "I don't care what anyone thinks about me, I'm gonna do my thing" attitude. In today's world... that takes courage. This does not mean I agree with everything that she does... but her attitude, I like.
She came out with a new video and after Ron told me about it, I went home and watched it...
She's good... shes gets me pumped.. when I go running, go to play soccer... she is my top 5 to listen too for sure!
Two foods... that I love for their conveinance.. apples and edamame! YUMMY nad easy peasy!
This part should really be dedicated to Costco.. like my second home.. for sure!
AHHH... so good, I can throw it in my bag, the kids lunch, have the edamame (soy beans) for dinner...so NICE... and HEALTHY.. that is the big plus!
I've also become a MAJOR book worm.. but I refuse to read anything that is real.. I'm in school and my brains are fried with all that stuff, so I am majorly into fantasy I just finished the 1st book in this series "House of Night" called "Marked", now good ol' Barnes and Noble is getting some more of my money! When I pick up the other 2 in the series.
I also picked this book up and I know the title is pretty naughty.. but I totally dig the book, I heard good things about it and its a no BS stand point on getting and staying healthy... written by REAL WOMEN.. who have to work to maintain!
I will say this... this book is not for the light of heart. It doesn't prey on our insecurities... it just talks about them. Which for some of us is Rule # 1.. NEVER, EVER bring up the bad stuff about our bodies or our selves.. I mean we see it in the mirror everyday, even when we try to avert our eyes. But I still am enjoying the book!
Check out the info on it at Amazon
I So thats a few things right now that getting me tickin'
October 02, 2008
2 good things...
2 good things my kids are a shoe in for... surprises and laughter!
Seriously as far as humor goes, I'm sure my kids are right up there with Jeff Foxworthy, Chris Rock, Tina Fey... especially Addison.
At school it was picture day! You all remember that, fussing over outfits and attempting to make our hair perfect only for the pictures to come back as crap. I think in all my years of buying school pictures I may have had a good picture every 4 years. I kept wondering, where did they hire this photographer...BLAH
Well last year Regan had her pics done and they were so-so... she wasn't even centered for crying out loud, in the middle of the photo.
So once again, this year, I'm dishing out money for not 1 but 2... 2 kids I tell you for pictures. But on a side note... my mom rocks since she bought them, because she wanted more pics. Its all about preserving the memories right?
This is the problem, when you have an awesome friend, who is an awesome photographer, no one really compares and so I'm bound to complain and I take no responsibility for this, I blame it on Ronalyn's wicked photography skills (pssst check out her site... she does some good stuff!)
But anyways on the way home I asked my kids how school was, and they said good. And then I asked how their pictures were. Regan announced she lost her sticker... bummer for her. I asked them to show me the smiles that they took for the pictures. This is what we all have to look forward too! Cracked me up, Regan's face changed like 5 times in 10 seconds "perfecting" her "smile"
Addy's smile looks like shes terrified and I think Regan is in a competition with herself to see how many of her teeth she can possibly show at the same time!
Then I asked the kids if they took their naps at school. I got a record prompt answer of "YES!!!"
My curiosity was picked and I was suspicious.
So I did a little investigation.
I asked did you actually close your eyes and sleep or were you just "steady" (the term the use at Garden for laying down). I told them I would call their teachers to really find out...
Regan quietly thinks about it (I think she was weighing her options) and finally says, I was steady.
This is her pretending to sleep in the car!
I ask Addy then and she says...
"My eyes were closed like this..see"
and she squeezes her eyes shut and pokes them with her fingers to prove her point.
I laughed and wondered does she seriously think that I am fooled!?
So needless to say, right now I am blogging and I have two munchkins taking a nap on either side of me, so that my house doesn't turn into a war zone tonight. With Logan being in Kenai and me being outnumbered (you mom's understand), peace is ALWAYS the best option.
My kids are amazing and good for a lot of things. But they are always making me laugh and always surprising me with how smart they are and how much they understand in this big world.
Now while they are sleeping, I'm on a mission to see if I can see Russia from my back yard too! LOL

Slightly Overdue....
Relaxing seriously ROCKS! I mean I love, love, love to do things with my family. I really have a good time, but something I crave and need is some "me" time. I am so much healthier emotionally and mentally. I can really tell a difference when I've had the chance to just relax and either be alone or be carefree and "young" again.
So for my birthday (well the day before)I went out with 2 of my favorite girls!
Dulce and Ronalyn. Being with them is strangely relaxing. We are totally loud, and laid back, but have a GREAT time every time we get together. This night didn't disappoint.
We went to my new obsession the MAC counter!
Let your eyes FEAST on perfection.... this place rock,s the make up rocks, the colors rock... everything ROCKS!
So we played there for awhile and found this AWESOME gold shade, that just makes a gal feel exotic no matter what!
So after playing around at the mall for awhile, we went to Red Robin. I have to say as far as friends goes... they learn FAST. They know I am picky and they also know that nothing could make me happier than a big, fat, juicy, hamburger, with fries on the side, plus a Coco- Nutty- Cow milkshake. That is the stuff right there! So I was in bliss, pure heaven, ecstasy..it was great!
I dare ANYONE to call us childish! lol! I think we were about to drive the people around us crazy though. SOME people are LOUD!
Then my girls rocked it even more... they got me giftcards to the The Buckle and Nike! Seriously 2 of my FAVORITE stores ever!
We turned in early that night... home by like 10 ish. But seriously a good early birthday! I'm still waiting on pics from when I went out with my family, hopefully will have those soon!
So now that typepad is not giving me T-R-O-U-B-L-E anymore... maybe I could post more often! GRRR. sometimes, ti works sometimes it doesn't. I could'nt log in at all yesterday or today... frustrating when I have some minutes to spare and my blogging time is SNATCHED away!
Okay enough ranting on my part, I'm blaming it on the computer and not the fact that I am technilogically deficient!

Another Day... Another Year... STILL BUSY!
So WOW... life has been just SWAMPED! I finally got caught up on work! YEAH! (passes out high fives) and now I can focus on the "more" important things... like bloggin, playing, chatting, and watching some of our favorite TV Shows
Logan was stuck at work this week a couple of times and so we brought dinner to him! Which was really nice, since the girls and I hadn't seen him too much up till that point!
Lets see... so what happened this week
Regan has sharing time for school. She brought her Alice in Wonderland dress, and talked about her adventures in California and visiting Auntie Megan and Mark. She is also finally feeling MUCH better and has pretty much kicked her cough!
Addison- well... Addison is Addison. She is in a "slightly" tempermental stage right now, known as the "terrible twos" in her mind I'm sure she calls them the "terrific twos". She is really discovering a little more about who she is, and what makes her tick.
Logan, has been working like a crazy guy! he had to drop some classes since he is learning pay roll and for the simple fact, that there isn't 30 hours in a day.... just not enough time to do it all.
I have been busy with school, *cough* getting older (25 BABY), and running around trying to keep our heads above water. I have to say even though life is seriously CRAZY, its not bad, I know it's gonna settle down.
But for some of the "good stuff"
my ALL -TIME FAVORITE SHOW STARTED THURSDAY!
Lets hear it for the beet lovin', camera staring, phone answering, paper selling, sarcastic, crossword doin', cat loving, quartet singing, weight losin, artsy-fartsy, no studderin', fire startin' people of the..... (DRUMROLLLLLLLLL)
THE OFFICE!
All I can say is my peoples at NBC... did NOT disappoint!
here is a promo from one of the future episodes! (actually its at the bottom of the post... watch it..it won't disappoint... yes that means you too Dulce!)
Angela- ela- ela-ela!
and for some other thoughts.... well today is my birthday. Now
I'm not really a HUGE birthday freak.
I mean I seriously, wouldn't even get offended
if someone that I'm really close to totally spaced it.
BUT this is the big 2-5! TWENTY FIVE WHOPPING years...
that I have graced this earth's
presence with (HAHAHAHA! Start the eye rolling now!!!)
So I was thinking... what is awesome about being 25...
I came up with one,
and i'm totally gonna do
it..because I can
I'm gonna.....
RENT A CAR!
Yup thats right... watch out civilians of California....
I'm renting a car for the 1st time come
December... in my name... with my
CREDIT CARD
Can I just say I'm so freaking EXCITED to do that!
Now normally.. I'm all about embracing your age... fighting the
"I'm getting older bug, so I can't do
as much" type of thing...
But my grandma Pat...actually got me tonight at dinner
She says... now you can say you are a quarter of a century old!
I was like.... HUH!?
WOW I have never felt old (nor do I act it... I'm kind of immature)...
but saying it like that...WOW...
puts a WHOLE new spin on things!
She graciously said after dinner she would never bring up the
"century thing" again!
But all in all... it was a good day... after wrestling with the dang
airline people... everything turned out
GREAT. Magically I feel the
same as yesterday.. although I am falling apart...
Seriously you guys watch this clip.... brings joy to my heart, great display
or a "normal" day at work for my two favorite characters!
September 21, 2008
Off to the races...
Logan and I have just been CRAZY busy... I mean the kind of busy, that when you hear your alarm clock going off... you are screaming "NOOOOOOO! Just give me 30 more minutes!!!!!"
He has been flying to Kenai almost everyday, then going to school and then getting home really late. Its been a little hard. It's like living with a room mate, who you see every once in awhile, when they come to wash their dirty laundry.
I have been going to school, working, doing doctors appointments (with Logan's help), picking kids up and dropping them off.... AHHH!
And thank goodness I have my mom's help! Seriously I could not have gotten everything done with out her help taking the kiddos for me sometimes!
So this weekend, it was OFF TO THE RACES!
We went out to dinner at one of my favorite places (NO GAGGING NOISES A LOUD!!!) The Golden Corral! Yeah baby!
I love that place because I can make a salad and put all my fun toppings on it... ohhh so good!
Then he went and got his CO2 tank filled for paint ball, for the next day and I went to the scrapbook store for a crop with the girls!
Today Logan went pain balling with Rudy... and me the dork I am forgot to tell him to get pictures. Then I realized that could be slightly awkward. Imagine if you will...
Logan: hey wait before you shoot at me, could you pose for a picture for my wife and her blogging needs?
Other guy: huh?
Logan: yeah ya know blogging, making a memory, online journaling
Other guy shooting Logan
So yeah needless to say no pics yet...of that
I spent the day cleaning. So my house was seriously... BAD! and anyone who knows me well... knows I can be "slightly" anal...but i was just like nah don't clean it up I'm doing it all on Saturday (yeah that whole attitude started on Wed Night-ish). Needless to say by Saturday... my house was officially a crap- hole.
So when Logan walked in the door... I headed out! I was meeting up with Ronalyn and Dulce... we were going to the MAC Counter at Nordies.
I'm not a huge make up wear-er person... basically I have mascara and if I'm feeling frisky, I MAY put on some eyeliner...WHAT WHAT!
So ya know, after going out with the hubby on date nights, or a night out with the girls, whatever, I noticed... huh women do dress up for SOME special occasions. So I decided that I needed to broaden myself a little and learn to do some make up!
Mind you these are for MAJOR dress up nights for me... but it was still fun, to learn and get some "girly" things for once!
I came home... Logan liked it... he said it was like being with a "mistress!" lol!
At Ichiban- for some Sushi, seriously the BANE of my life!
Ronalyn... I have no idea (what were you doing girl), I was just trying NOT to laugh
Be afraid- be VERY afraid
R.E.D.- HOT MAMA'S!
The Mistress and the Stormin' Mormin'
and this is off base... but from my recent trips from Forks, at one of the burger joints in town, they gave out fangs with their lemonade and Rae gave me hers... and Regan and Addison really enjoy!
glad to see, that they share my vampire fetish with me (maybe not as extreme... YET though)

Boys & Their Toys
Logan has wanted a paint ball gun since he was in Texas about 3 years ago. I told him he could get one if he kept playing. I know that sounds stingy BUT, love my husband, but sometimes he gets into "things" and then they become "GARAGE TROPHIES" after a few uses. But I broke- Ronalyn's hubby is into paint balling and has been asking Logan to go. So after hanging out with one night with the girls, with the hubbies in tow, the girls and I went to Sportsman's and got the low down from some local "balla's". They told us to go to Sports Authority for the best deal!So we went!After some fun in Sportman's of course!
had some fun with our Fondu party and Logan got a fun toy, that he can shoot em up with!

10 inches- CHOPPED
Well once again, I changed my hair up. I have a hard time staying with the same hair-do for very long. I think the long hair, grow out thing was a new record. I chopped it about 2 years ago and then played around with it for another 6 months and then let it grow out for another year and a half... with some "minor" color dabblings and some little cuts.
But on Friday, I was fed up! My hair is thick and its heavy... so I whacked it!
The gal who did it is AWESOME! thanks Chelsea for the recommend.
She put my hair in a pony tail and just whacked it off!
I was so HAPPY with how it turned out. Then she put this rich chocolate color in my hair with a couple of caramel looking highlights! Another plus about this hair style... versatility! I can do it really fast and change it up from day to day! love it!
I think I'm gonna stick with the shorter hair... time is of the essence and I don't have the time to do the long hair everyday!
I walked out of the salon... feeling FRESH and 3 pounds lighter, and my neck muscles were no longer straining and the weight of the pony tail is not giving me a head ache!
AAAAHHHH what a simple thing as a hair cut can do!
