Fall's Entrance

I have to admit I'm a warm weather type of person so, now that Fall has come I get into a little bit of a down mood. I know that darkness will soon hover over most of the day since the sun will go down sooner. I feel like crawling up into a ball in front of the wood stove and falling into a hibernation until Spring time again. But, that would mean missing out of some of my favorite Fall and winter things to do.
The upside I use this hibernation period to do my art, and crafts. I love to make jewelry and do scrap booking, crochet scarves and paint. I indulge in these things not to only pass time but, I truly enjoy doing them. I also, along with my younger daughter go all out when decorating for Halloween. She and I spend a whole afternoon setting up the front porch with cobwebs, spiders, rats, and all the good scary stuff. Last year I made two life size dummies of Jason and Micheal Myers from Halloween. With the fog machine going at night really scares the poor kids! Its one of my favorite holidays along with Christmas. I think it all started a couple years ago right after Thanksgiving, that I continually play "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase. I loved it just running in the background with the familiar little jingle going just adds to the tradition around here, the Crazy and funny family that we are. I think I drove my husband nuts quoting all the line of the movie. The girls loved it too and I think this is something they will always remember when the have their own home and family. It would make me so happy to think one day I would be visit their home for Christmas and they would have "Christmas Vacation" playing on TV.
Well, since fall has made an entrance to a long stretch of winter and hopefully snow, I will post pictures of what we do around the house during the solitude months!

Another Obsession of Mine...

The obsessive type person I am is why it explains why I have been hooked on Family Guy. I was pretty skeptical at first when a friend I suggested watching. I was only familiar with the previews and short clips that are run on three different channels it runs on. In fact the first time I watched it I fell in love with the devious little baby Stewie who is more of an adult than most I know in real life! I'm only aware when I watch that Stewie's parents are the only ones who can't actually hear him. Good thing because he is always planning to kill Louis his mother, and insult his father Peter, "the dumb ass."

I can actually imitate Stewie's voice now quite well and well now and, quote lines from my favorite episodes. "Deuce"and "blast" have become two of my curse words and let's just say gets a chuckle now and then at home.
Brian the talking dog is also my favortie out of the family, he is smart and witty and did I mention he talks? This pup is the brains of the family and, I wonder as I look at my dogs what they would say if they could talk! Ha! I can only imagine!
So, here I am now setting the reminder on my TV when it shows...even the re-runs I find myself laughing over and over again. On Monday and Tuesdays I am treated with a back to back two hour run of Family Guy and try and stay up for the late night airings at eleven.
As I type this up I have Stewie peering at me on my desktop saver and just have to smirk!

Unconditionally & "Irrevocably" in Love With Twilight!"

I will admit it, since I picked up the book "Twilight" I couldn't put it down. I finished in two days. I was immediately drawn in to the character's, and, yes especially Edward...LOL! Now I will have to buy the movie that comes out in March. I've already watched all I could on Youtube just to get a fix. I found myself watching the baseball scene over and over again. The song was so cool I now play it over and over again on my ipod ha! I have always been drawn to the life and mystery of vampires and this seemed to be one that could actually be a story that "could happen" in my opinion. So, now that you know my little secret of being obsessed with Twilight I have bought the entire series and have been indulging ever since. I am "unconditionally" and, "irrevocably" in love with them! Ha! And, as I thirst for more and more of other "Twilighters"" out there....I have indulged myself into this group: Twilight Moms. Something you may want to contemplate joining. The chain letter is a pretty fun way to talk about the characters!

Let it Snow!

Frosty the Snowman

I absolutely, positively love when it snows! My mood lifts, and I feel like a kid again! I wait anxiously hoping that it sticks and there will be enough to build a snowman. My wish came true this year with a foot of snow! My family and I had so much fun playing outside 'till late at night! My husband and I took a few walks in the white powder, it was beautiful! I love the sound of snow crunching beneath our feet as we walked through the neighborhood that glowed winter white! I knew it wouldn't last forever so we took advantage every minute of it! Here are a few pictures!

My Dog Bowie - He loves to eat Snowballs!

My husband, girls and dogs all playing in the snow!

Our backyard you can tell how much it snowed here!

My Office

This is me in my home office where I spend a lot of my time writing!
We actually have an extra building on our lot that has it's own address. My husband keeps telling me he will make it my office. Of course I don't have a lot of privacy but, I love being close to my family and, the wood stove is cozy too!

Scheduled to go Under the Knife Again!

Well, here I am again, on Monday I have yet another surgery. At this point I'm getting rather anxious because, this isn't a minor one. I cant tell you how I feel about having a few of my organs removed. I guess I'm feeling like it's just a dream and I will wake up with no idea what has happened. There are a few preparations that one needs to perform before certain surgery.
# 1. Colon cleansing. This is where you have to drink a certain concoction that makes empties everything inside you so, if the Dr. accidentally nicks your intestines your less proned to infection and, repairing it is easier. I just think it's pure torture. Once you have gone once, it's like all hell broke loose and, think to yourself, "Thank god, that's over!" But, you know what? It's not. You are not able to be more than ten feet from a toilet for about four or more hours! So, it would be wise to do this in the afternoon because you can not eat anything after your all cleaned out.
# 2. After that is done, you are allowed to only drink clear liquids up to midnight. At this point you may feel delirious, have a head ache, nausea and, have cotton mouth. Your Dr. may be nice enough to give you some for the nausea that will follow you up until you stroll into the surgery room. Otherwise, just be sure to carry that little brown bag along, you know, just in case.
# 3. I experience a lot of anxiety before surgery so, I am prescribed a little pill that takes all my worries away. Which actually converts me into a bit of a giggly school girl. My husband will keep me from running into walls so, always have a good chaperon on your day of surgery. This can be anyone you feel comfortable enough with, just make sure this person has seen you at your worst, throwing up, passing out, and, naked. Basically someone you have gotten shit faced with.
# 4. Hopefully all goes well and you wake up in your room with nurses yelling at you to breath, and wiggle your toes. If you could actually hear them and, can keep your eyes open, and, actually have any control of your bowels, hopefully that catheter doesn't come out.
# 5. After you regain your senses, speech and motor control, they will let you sit up and, maybe even have some ice chips. I was so upset after one of my surgeries because, I couldn't get my lips to work to make words. So, I tried to sign to my husband that I was thirsty. I was so thirsty that it felt like I had been buried alive.
# 6. You may or may not have a catheter. This is a tube that goes up into your bladder so you can pee. The next morning if you stay over night, depending on your case, you have it removed. This is like having a hairbrush ripped from your urethra! Ask the nurse to get some pain medicine before they kindly pull that out! You could bite your lip so hard you may need stitches! (Not really but, close) 6. Now, be nice to your nurses, because these are the people who are giving you your pain meds. And, if they don't like you for some reason or another they will forget about visiting you on their rounds! If you don't stay on top of the pain, it's hard to get it back under control. I woke up crying my eyes out the first night because, for some reason the nurse skipped me when my dose was due! I think I woke up the whole hospital floor at three in the morning! Let's just say nurses talk, and, they can be real bitches! Thank god I was blessed with a very pleasant nurse for the remainder of my stay.
# 7. Hospitals are suppose to be where you get rest and, recover? Not true, you are woke up every few hours for blood pressure, temperature checks, and, pain control. People coming and going in and out of your room at any given time. If you share a room, your roommate may have visitors, watch t.v. talk on the phone or wont shut the f up because, she's so high on drugs! Let's say it will be good to be home and in my own bed to recoup!
Wish me luck!

I Love the UFC!

I am a big time fan of the UFC, "Ultimate Fighter Championship". I just watched a fight with one of my favorite fighters Matt Hughes. He is just about the best all around fighter when it comes to the ground and pound, but, has significantly brought his stand up game to the table as well. I always enjoy watching him fight. I think he reminds me so much of my husband, in body type, posture, fight style, and, humbleness. My husbands name is even Matt! The look like they could be brothers! My husband was a state wrestling champion back in the day and, has a mean kickboxing game to go along with it. I always imagine that when Matt Hughes is fighting, its actually my hubby out there! Ha! I even have show my enthusiasm with the cool MMA Clothing that I picked up over the years too! The UFC Rocks!
