Hooters is calling my name!

On Saturday Jese had Toph come over! It was fun to catch up with him, we haven't hung out with him in about 3 years!! They played video games most of the day. I made cookies and then took a nice long nap, it was nice! 

Yesterday I went shopping with mom. She needed new clothes for her Vegas trip and I need new bras for my newly enlarged

I was also informed by my super nice husband and mother I needed new pants, what jerks!! So after searching and searching I settled on a $6 pair that were just one size larger than I normally wear! I am just in between on what I need, I am to small for maternity pants (and not very far along yet!) and to big for my normal pants!! I don't really like the pants I got but Mama forced me to get them. I also got some socks and an ottoman that was on sale. I didn't get home until almost 5:00!!! So I decided that 5 pieces of taffy and a handful of sour patch kids would be a good supper! Needless to say at 10:00 I was starving so I had some Jell-o!

What A Great Guy!

Okay, so I admit it, I was pretty crabby yesterday! Jese decided it would be best to avoid me all day and stayed in the basement, smart guy!! After he fixed the dryer for me, he made baked potato soup for supper. It was yummy. Then we both wanted dessert and I said that I would really like a dairy queen cake and I even had a coupon for one. So what does he do, he got right up and went to dairy queen and got me a cake!! He is so nice!! I might just eat a piece of cake for lunch today, okay maybe not but it would be really good!! 

I am in the process of doing more laundry since the dryer got fixed to late in the day yesterday for me to get it all done. I am almost done, I just have towels and sheets left to do. I might wash the blankets today too because they haven't been washed in awhile. 

I filed our taxes today. We should get our return in 8-10 days, yeepee! Then we need to call the plumbers and get an estimate for our plumbing issues to see if we have enough for it! 

Today I want to do some baking and cooking. I am thinking about getting some meals made up so this week I can just pop them in the oven at supper time because I have been super lazy lately and not feeling like cooking supper. I am also going to make apple crisp and maybe strawberry muffins! I am just in a cooking mood today! We are having chops for lunch and then I am thinking either chicken noodle soup or chicken enchiladas for supper, I am leaning more towards the enchiladas.

Why be honest??

Hello! Well Jese's last paycheck was smaller than normal and he just got 2 pay raises so it didn't seem right. After some investigation with one of the people he works with they discovered the company hasn't been taking out enough money for our health insurance! The company has been paying for most of it since October 2009!!! Well since Jese pointed it out they have now informed us we owe them over $3,000!! I get that we should have been paying it since then but it wasn't our fault it wasn't being taken out and how did the payroll clerk not notice!!! His last paycheck was the first time they actually took out the right amount, losers!!! So now Jese has to meet with them on Monday to figure out what they are going to do about it. I think that it is really lame that they screwed it up for that long without noticing! 

Jese finally got done working on the dryer. He said the belt wasn't broken but there was a piece of plastic jammed in it. He took that out and now it is spinning again. He doesn't think it is spinning as fast as it should but we will see I guess. 

Jese also took my car in today to get the oil changed, we just got more bad news there. My car is leaking oil and steering fluid, grr!!! So they put a dye in it and after we drive 50-100 miles they will look at it and see where it is leaking. Hopefully it is a cheap easy fix, or even better maybe Adam will be nice and fix it for free for us :) 

So now I am going to go start the laundry and see if the dryer will actually work today.

Lesson Learned!

Hello! Last night Jese and I watched the last Saw movie, it was good...just like all of the other ones. Of course I don't like to watch those sorts of movies any more because I dream about everything I watch or read. Well last night was no exception. I had the worst dream ever and it last all night long!! It was about a guy murdering all of my Facebook friends, it was VERY graphic so I won't get into details!! Everything I closed my eyes after waking up I would see the skulls of all the dead people, it wasn't a good night. One time I woke up to a tap tap tap on my shoulder, I turned and there was Pizza trying to get me to lift of the blankets for her so she could sleep under them! 

I lost Kipper this morning. Jese let him outside and I couldn't find where he went!! I was just about to go out and look for him and he came back, what a good boy! I decided I better put his fence collar back on instead of the bark collar since it is warmer out and he will probably spend more time outside. Have a nice warm day while it lasts!!

-Christa

Scratch That!

Okay I guess doing the laundry just wasn't in the cards for today! I just went to put all of the sweatshirts into the dryer and guess what!!! It decided it was all done spinning and just didn't want to work anymore!!! Stupid thing. So I hung all of our sweatshirts up in the basement on hangers from the ceiling. I have no choice but to wash another load because I am out of underwear, so I found all of those and now I am washing a load of underwear and Jese's work clothes. I am also going to have to do a load of whites because I am also out of socks, the basement is going to look very pretty with sweatshirts, underwear, and socks hanging all around it! Hopefully Jese can figure out a way to fix the dryer on Friday so I can do the rest of the laundry!!

On a positive note, at least I am getting out of folding the clothes since they will take all day to dry!

-Christa

Good Bye Snow!!

Kipper all snuggled up!

Oreo and I resting together!

 Hello!! Yesterday I was so happy because the snow was melting!! I hope lots more melts in the next few days. I am sick of winter, it is to cold and dry out. Yesterday our new furniture came! It looks very nice, except for the old couch is still in the living room which makes it pretty crowded!! Last night I was going to make pizza for supper and when I went to make it I realized I forgot to thaw out cheese!!! It was frozen because I ran out of room in the fridge. So by the time I got it thawed out and cooked, I didn't eat until 7:30, that is way later than normal!! 

Today I have to do the laundry :( and I have to go to the store to get a few things I forgot last time I went. I hate when I forget stuff. I don't really know much else today, have a great day!

Baby Fig

Hello! This week baby is the size of a fig! It is getting bigger!! So far pregnancy hasn't been to bad for me, yeah!! My skin is super itchy (from being so dry I think) and that is about for now! Oh and I can't eat any greasy or spicy food, like Pizza Ranch chicken, El Tequila, McDonalds, Dairy Queen, etc. because is goes straight through me, hehe!! I'm not so tired any more unless I do lots of stuff, then I get tired out. Oh, Jese's coffee really stinks too, I could smell it this morning when I was in bed, gross!!
Yesterday I went to Amy's for a game day. It was just me, her, and Josie so it was easy to play games for once!! We just played spite and malice, we both won about the same amount of games I think!

Today I made Jell-o, folded laundry, did dishes (some by hand!!) and I am just waiting for my mac-n-cheese to get done baking for supper! Oh yeah, I also cleaned the tupperware cupboard, it was a MESS!!! Right now I am watching Blue Crush because I don't feel like watching the news. Tomorrow our new furniture is being delivered between 2-5, yeepee!!

Baby Of The Family

A guy at Jese's work gave us a car seat last week so we have it sitting in the spare bedroom upstairs. Oreo decided that she wasn't giving up being the baby of the family and would claim the car seat as hers!! I woke up this morning and found her sleeping in it, she is so cute! I shouldn't let her sleep in it because she will get it full of kitty hair but she is just to cute to kick out of it!!

Today is GAME DAY (which also means PJ day) at Amy's house, must go get ready!!

New Furniture!!

We got the love seat and chair! We got them in a darker brown though!

Hello! Today Jese and I purchased our first non-handme-down furniture!!! We got a love seat and chair for the living room! Cassie is going to take our old couch for us! They will be delivered on Tuesday, I am so excited!!! We just got back home a little bit ago. In a little while Jese's friends are coming to visit us, we hardly ever see them!! Last night Mom, Rick, Jese, and I all went up to Cassie's for a birthday supper. We went to Bonfire, their smashed potatoes were soooo good, it is all I can think about!! It was lots of fun, plus we got to meet their new dog, Glory. She is huge...and kind of stupid!!!

Couch For Sale or Trade!!

I cannot STAND our couch anymore! Most people find it nice and cozy, not me! It hurts my back so much!! Today I figured out that if I put a pillow behind my back it is better, to bad that isn't very comfortable! So if anyone with a nice couch would like to trade with me that would be nice :) If you don't mind having a whole in the back of the couch from Jese rescuing Pizza it is in very nice shape!

-Christa

P.S. That is an old photo, there are nicer curtains there now and the couch is in a different spot, just thought you should know!

Baby W-R Update!

Hello! Baby W-R is the size of a kumquat now! I went to the doctor today and got to hear the heartbeat. He was going to do an ultrasound but since he found the heartbeat with the regular little heartbeat finder thingy-majig he didn't do one. He said that that was good because it is early to hear it on that, he said it was because I am so skinny :) I have only gained 2 lbs so far, yeah!!! I am pretty sure all the weight is in my porn star boobs!! Really I thought I had gained more than that because my pants are all tight on me, stupid pants.  He also asked if I was peeing all the time because my bladder was really low and my uterus was pushing on it a bunch, stupid bladder, I am sick of peeing!!

After my appointment I went grocery shopping ($69 for 2 weeks!) I got the last tax document thing in the mail today that I can't get online so I think I might start our taxes today. I'm not 100% sure we have everything but I can always start it and finish it later. I just got done loading the dishwasher. I think I will make tater tot hotdish tonight for supper, yummy!

-Christa

What a trouble maker!!

Hello! Yesterday Jese and I didn't do much. We went to the bank, the farm, and brought Kipper in the get his nails trimmed. The jerk just stood there and let the lady cut them, he never lets us do it, jerk! We had chinese food for lunch (Jese got it in the cities Thursday night since our Chinese place is closed) and then for supper we had steak and shrimp, yummy!!! Jese didn't know that if you are going to dump the leftover melted butter down the drain you should run a bunch of hot water down after it to make sure it gets out of the pipes. This morning we woke up to pipes full of hardened butter!! I told Jese to find where it was and heat it up the pipes with a blow dryer to remelt the butter since hot water didn't do the trick. I was right and it worked :) I think he learned his lesson! 

Last night I was watching T.V in bed and fell asleep sitting up! I woke up with my glasses on, sitting up, and snoring!! It was pretty funny because when I was waking up I thought, what is that noise!! Then I realized it was me!!!! I am so funny! Oreo has decided she can't leave me side anymore. She sleeps right next to my head all night and during the day she follows me around, and when I am on the couch she sleeps under it! She loves me a little to much. At least she likes me since Pizza will never snuggle with me. Okay on to the rest of my day!

Only 64 days until Spring!!

Brownies For Lunch!

Is it okay to eat brownies for lunch as a treat? I figured I have been eating pretty good and so I deserved a cheat day, so I decided to eat brownies for lunch! They are so yummy, I probably could eat the whole pan, but I will refrain from doing so, Jese might get mad if he doesn't get any more! I made the brownies yesterday, they are sooooo good! I haven't had brownies in a long long time, I missed them. 

Yesterday I dusted, swept, mopped, washed curtains, and deep cleaned the kitchen. I was super tired by the time I was done. I did keep a little bit of reserve energy to make pizza burgers for supper, they were good, not as good as brownies though. I still have vacuum and do the laundry. I will either do it today or tomorrow, or NEVER, HAHAHAHA!!!!

Dear Mother Nature: Please send spring to me!

Hello! Yesterday I had to babysit. It was a super easy day because Liam and Josie decided that they just wanted to exercise in his room all morning! For some reason they needed all of his cars, a ball, and some other toys to exercise. They also found that exercising was hard work and had to strip down to their underwear. Liam did decided to dress himself a little bit before lunch, he chose an all camouflage outfit. Josie decided she was sick of her diaper and decided to start taking it off but it got stuck half way down her legs, I was nice and gave her a new one to wear. I made them a delicious meal of ring bologna and mac-n-cheese for lunch, yummy! They both chowed it down, Josie still didn't want to get dressed. Then they decided to pick up all of their cars in Liam's room (okay I made them) so they could color. Then it was my favorite part of the day, nap time!! Josie did pick out a lovely outfit of a onsie and pink pants to wear right before her nap. Just as I started watching Parenthood from last week Amy surprised me and came home! So then I left, washed my dirty dirty car and went home! When I came home I took a shower, did the dishes, ate supper (tuna melts, not so yummy), and wrote on over 400 pictures and got most of them put away! My photo album filled up so now I have to get another one to finish off the rest of the photos. I also watched Biggest Loser, said hello to Jese when he came home, and went to bed!

Today I am going to do some cleaning, boring!!! I am trying to stay busy because if I sit on my couch for more than 5 minutes it hurts my back, stupid thing! I am hoping we get enough tax money to fix our plumbing and get a new couch. I think I am going to make brownies today, yummy, that would be a nice treat! I am going to make pizza burgers for supper, Jese is excited for those, I am too! Okay my 5 minutes on the couch are up!

-Christa

Grape!

Hello! Today Baby W-R is the size of a grape! Yummy, I could eat some grapes right now, to bad we don't have any! Yesterday I did absolutely nothing! I figure I should enjoy what lazy days I have left because soon I won't have any left for the next 18-25 years, that is a long time with no lazy days. Today I think I will clean up all the dirty dishes in the kitchen, after that I am not sure what I will do, probably nothing! The house is clean and the laundry is done so there isn't much to do. I could bake but we have lots of snacks from Christmas still and Jese just made an apple pie the other day. I do have to go to the grocery store one of these days and get dog food because they were all out last week, jerks! 

I have been going into the deepest sleep ever lately, it is nice! I didn't even hear Jese come home last night! Of course I still get up 50 times to pee but I fall right back into a deep slumber! I didn't want to get up this morning but I had to because I had to pee again, stupid bladder!!! Today Jese started classes again. He has class at 9:00 on Mondays and then has to go straight to work after it. That will be a LONG day, that is for sure! Okay I am going to go eat now, have a nice snowy day!

-Christa

P.S I could really go for some 50 or 60 degree weather so I could sit outside!!

Loans: Consolidated!

Hello! I have FINALLY consolidated my student loans!! I decided I better do it since I have to start repaying some of them next month. Last time I went to do it I didn't have all of my loan information so it ended up closing on me before I saved it, this time I was ready and it didn't take me long at all! 

Yesterday Alicia and Brandon came over for a visit. We went to El Tequila for supper, yummy! They stayed until a little after 10:00, Jese and Brandon played video games in the basement while Alicia and I visited! It was lots of fun, but I was super duper tired! I didn't get to bed until around 11:00. I always turn the t.v on when I go to bed and when Jese came to bed he asked me for the remote and I told him no! My arms were pretty much broken because I was so tired, I couldn't even move them!! 

Today I told Jese if he wanted to keep Kipper he has to start walking him, bathing him, and getting his toe nails cut. So he went to take him on a walk today and Kipper decided it was to cold and stopped walking!! Jese said he had to carry him the last block because his poor little feet were just to cold, baby!!! I also made a deal with Jese, he wanted to get a video game so I told him if he cleaned the fridge, oven, cut up all the veggies for soup tonight, and cut bugging me about eating veggies, he could get one. He of course jumped at the deal so now he has a new video game, loser! 

We had to go to Target for his video game and we went at lunch time. I was about to pass out from hunger when we left so we stopped at Dairy Queen. I don't know why I keep trying to eat fast food. I will just leave it at this, Jese went to the bathroom after me and said I should stop eating fast food, jerk!! I yelled at him and told him that wasn't very nice and I don't say that every morning after he goes to the bathroom!!! So now I can't go to Dairy Queen either unless I am just getting ice cream, stupid fast food!! Oh yes, we also got new batteries for the bark collar and the invisible fence collar, Kipper just got a nice shock from the bark collar. It sure will be nice having that work again! 

-Christa

Good Morning!

Good morning! I am sleepy!!!! I am at Amy's house right now with Jese, we are babysitting. Since I am on Amy's computer I have no pictures today, sorry. Yesterday I paid the bills, went grocery shopping, and did the laundry! I even got the laundry put away!! Tonight Alicia and Brandon are coming over and we are going out to eat, that means I don't have to cook, yeah!! Tomorrow we don't have any plans, that is the first Satruday in a long time we don't have plans!! Next week Jese starts classes again. He will have to work Thursday's this month and part of next month so he could get Tuesday's off for a class. Okay I really don't know anything.

-Christa

So Tired!

Kipper attacking Dexter!

Hello everyone! I don't really know much today. I have been super lazy and tired lately. I kind of feel lame for whining that I am tired because most people do WAY more than I do and at least I am not sick or anything else like that! I guess I will take being tired. Today I fell asleep sitting up during Liam and Josie's nap time for about 15 minutes, whoops! I am starting to feel more energized this week than last week though so that is good. 

Right now I am watching Nip Tuck, mostly because I have nothing else to watch. I am excited all the shows are new again because I have been super bored at night. Tonight Biggest Loser starts a new season, yeah!! I shouldn't watch it though because for some reason seeing fat people makes me hungry. Maybe it is because they talk about what they used to eat all the time, hehe!! Good thing I don't have any junk food at my house so I can't indulge my cravings. 

Today I was a bad, bad babysitter, alls I did was read the first Sookie Stackhouse book! I did put together Liam's train track for him and I did make the kids lunch, it was pizza. 

Okay well seeing as I don't know anything else I guess I will continue watching my show.

-Christa


Ok, I admit it, I just ate a bowl of ice cream while watching Biggest Loser!!
