How Cold Is It?

Are you wondering just how cold it's been lately here in Vegas?





This is a fountain in Kristine's backyard that runs constantly - USUALLY... this fountain froze in about three hours time.



And I hear it's going to be even colder tonight. Thank goodness my heater works, lol.

OMG

First of all, I was supposed to sleep another hour - but I woke up ten minutes ago, and I knew if I went back to sleep, I would never get up at 8.  I have to get ready to leave for breakfast - but here's the shitty thing; I'm sick.  Yup, still sick with the cold that Kristine gave me about a week ago - and guess what else?  SHE's got bronchitis now.  Lovely.  Hubby is sick too - but hubby doesn't have to go out in 27 degree weather with a pack of second graders for four hours like I do.  I've decided that I probably won't go skating tonight...  I'm hoping that Randy can help Kristine with the girls at the skating place - so I can come home and get some much needed rest...  this being sick sucks.  I've got friends coming into town this weekend, that I hope to get together with on Monday - and I don't want to sit there during our visit blowing my nose and coughing...  I haven't seen them in awhile.  I want to go back to bed SO bad, but it isn't an option.  I just have to get out and get this stuff done today, and get back here where I can be warm and comfortable.

WOW

Wow, I just got home from an AMAZING Italian dinner...  me, Kristine, her kids, some other little girls, and the hubby - all sitting at this table, eating the BEST food ever!  It was great.  The hubby actually cracked a couple of jokes that I thought were funny, lol...  everyone seemed to be in a pretty good mood tonight - which is awesome.  It really was a nice get together - and I'm sure Elizabeth had a great time.  She wasn't complaining, lol...

Tomorrow we've got another big day.  What we're calling Elizabeth's Birthday Bash Pt. 2 - first it's breakfast, then "The Artful Potter", then an early dinner, then off to the skating rink (roller, not ice) - hopefully I'll be able to come home and crash after that, because I'm sure I will be EXHAUSTED!!

Good Morning!!

I slept like SHIT last night - kept waking up...  that always happens when I have to get up by a certain time...  like I HAD to be up by eight this morning to get everything ready for this weekend - Elizabeth's BD Party all...  so I was restless all night...  I usually can sleep until I wake up - and then get out and go to work - I don't normally have a wake up schedule....  ugh...

Anyway, have LOTS to do today - and I don't know if I'll be able to update until maybe tomorrow night - but we'll see...

Where Are YOU?

I'm at the ranch now - waiting for two o'clock so I can go get the kids - then I have to drive WAY across town to take Elizabeth to her violin lesson... I've already done what I have to do here - so yeah, just waiting...

I know I'm posting a lot here - but I'm gonna get my money's worth, lol... 

Kristine's horse Goddess is so close to birthing...  she's SO big!  I make sure I go out and say hi to her whenever I get the chance.  It's funny how this horse has taken to me - she follows me around like a big puppy...  some people are afraid of horses because they are so big - but I've never been frightened of them.  As a matter of fact, I ran barrels when I was 9 until I was 11.  I've always been comfortable around horses, perhaps it's because of my Native American heritage...  who knows...

Anyway, I guess I should find something else to do to take up the hour I will be here...  I'll write more when I get home tonight...

Son of a Bitch - and Griff - and More

First of all, my truck is BACK in the freakin' shop, dammit.... Kristine decided to go ahead and get the tailgate put back on since we're doing all this other maintenance... so basically I was TEASED with it yesterday, cause it was taken away from me again today - I HOPE I get it back tomorrow...

Griff, Christy's new boyfriend, is guest starring on CSI:NY tonight - and I think he's playing the rapist... thank GOD it's just an act... or I would have to kill him, and I'm not joking... he's a great actor though - and I've heard he's a decent director... sounds like she's hooked up with a good one this time... and I have met him - I met him the last time I was in Los Angeles with Christy - they were working on her next movie - and he's a really nice, sweet guy - great for her... I'm so happy for the both of them... :) and I can't wait to see them again... hopefully it will be soon. We're "discussing" it, lol.

COOL THING ALERT!!! In the new magazine that Christy is on the cover of - Relate - I got a credit. That's right - MY name is in the magazine - right alongside Christy's interview. For providing some photos. I think that's damned cool.  Go Christy and go ME!!

Quick Break

I'm home, for about twenty minutes or so, then it's back to Kristine's for dinner.

I'm watching her son for a little while - he's such a great kid - can get a little mouthy at times (he's nine) - but for the most part, I can honestly say he's probably the best KID friend I have... we always have fun together...

I HAVE TO GO!!

I'll try to write more later...

Early Morning

I'm so happy cuz I got my truck back yesterday!! I have been using a loaner for the last week and it SUCKED! But now I have my baby back and I'm a happy camper - the kids are happy about it too... the truck is just better all around... today we're having the tailgate put back on, but it will only be in the shop a couple of hours.

P.S. I'm STILL sick. Don't you hate it when only one nostril gets clogged?

Home Again

Well, it's 11:59 and I'm finally home.

I have a cold - just to let everyone know.

Okay, I've been fooling around here long enough. I'm going to bed as soon as I figure out the style I want to keep this journal for now - at least until I design my own... good night all!!

Paid

Okay, I just paid for an LJ account - which means I need to use this journal more often since I'm spending money on it, lol... I'm going to upload some more userpics as well... It's funny, I'm paying 19.95 every 12 months for something you can get over at GreatestJournal for free... ah well... seems there are more people over here - at lease people that comment on my entries...

Anyway, so yeah, it's paid for - which also means I can really use a new layout. I'm going to go look for one right now... since I have about an hour to play around with...  I FOUND A LAYOUT!!

I'm Batting a Thousand

Yeah, that's a saying you know - meaning that things aren't going the way they're supposed to... first the sucky chair - then I sleep late... but I have to book out of here - I'm about two hours past the time I was planning to leave - so I'd better jet...

Sh*t

My ass hurts. I need a new chair. Maybe next month. I'll talk to K about it - I'm sure she'll help me out when I tell her that the chair I'm using now hurts my butt.

Idiots

I blame everyone - they shouldn't have been able to get away with this crap... what the hell?????

Dammit

I always forget about this place, lol. I only remembered this time because a friend of mine asked me to look her up here - so I did, and added her... Hi Loni!!! :)

Anyway, I've been so crazy busy lately it's not even funny... now that Christopher has left Vegas, I've taken on a LOT of his responsibilities with Kristine. Meaning that my days just got a hell of a lot longer work-wise. The mornings I usually have for myself, but once it hits two o'clock, I'm on the road until around 8pm - then at the ranch until 10pm or later... this is five days a week... sometimes six. And I was just told that I'm going to be helping K work out her taxes for 2006 - so my mornings are going to be busy as well. It's not that I'm complaining, far from it. It's just that doing all this stuff means I won't be online to update as much - hence the reason I've forgotten about this journal again, lol.

Everything else is going fine... not much time for anything else to be going on really...

Okay, I really need to get my ass back to work here - still have to do a little tweaking with K's current web site - plus I'm putting together a Kristine W. FANSpace on MySpace. Don't know why I never thought of that before. But a good idea - and I'll be putting up OTHER songs of hers - some that have been requested - so I should get a few people adding it... shit, I have to get busy and stop rambling... I'll try to update here more often - if I can remember, lol...
