Boo Boo's Birthday

On November 10, 2004---Boo Boo celebrated his 28th birthday! I bought him a Cosmo stuffed doll, Cosmo boxer shorts, and a Cosmo and Wanda pillow for his chair at work. Cosmo and Wanda are from a show called the "Fairly Odd Parents". We like the show, and John relates well to Cosmo. Anyway, we went to dinner at Old Chicago, and John later talked to his family on the phone. They called to wish him a Happy Birthday. On Friday, the 12th, we went to White Fence Farm with my parents and brother, Andy. Brewster's birthday was also on the 10th, he turned one. We had fun celebrating than John and I went home for some quiet time together. On the 13th, we went to Castle Rock to participate in the filming of the next Adventure Club movie called the "Fashion of the Christ". A light-hearted version of "Passion of the Christ". We had a lot of fun, and John and I look forward to the next Adventure Club on December 5th where we get to design our own Barbie attire and make an ornament. Yeah, Christmas is coming!!!!! My favorite holiday!:)

My Trip to the ER

Yesterday, November 6th, I was in a lot of pain. My body was going into shock from all the cramps, vomiting, and the whatnots that I kept having. After I went to the bathroom again for the umpteenth time I broke out in a cold sweat. I got in the shower to see if that would help me feel better, but it wasn't working. I called for John and I asked him to get me some water. After that, I asked him to call for an ambulance because I felt really bad. The paramedics were at our house in 5 minutes, and they took me to Littleton Hospital. The fireman didn't put the IV in my arm right, so the nurse at the hospital fixed it and gave me a painkiller and anti-nausea meds through the IV. What a difference! The pain gradually diminished, and I started to feel a lot better. Everyone said I was very pale, and my color was eventually improving. The nurse also gave me some oxygen, because the alarm on the machine kept going off. It scared John and my mom when it did it the first time. I still feel really weak today, and the prescriptions they gave me also make you drowsy. I already called in sick to work for tomorrow, so I can have an extra day to recuperate. I'm so glad that day is over, because I was not enjoying feeling that bad. What a week it has been! And to quote the Grateful Dead, "What a long strange trip it's been?"

Another Day....

Brewster was being watched by John & I on Saturday, and Cimbi scratched him in self-defense. It is so hard because we watched Brewster to be helpful to Andy, and we end up paying half of the expenses to have Brewster's injured eye fixed. It is so frustrating. John and I will never watched someone's animal or even child at our house again. It is really sad and I hope Brewster is okay, but I'm sorry it has become such a turbulent ride. Never again!!!!

Sweet Melody January 24, 1998-November 1, 2001 

We Need Hope in this Sea of Sorrow

I just can't believe it! Bush won!!! Why does half of America want a President who is a complete moron? I am so angry and upset about this. I don't know what to say except that I hope Bush learned something from this election, and he most likely didn't. Why, because he is a fucking idiot? I just don't get it! I hang my head in sadness...

I also want to remember my sweet baby, Melody. The anniversary of her death was on November 1st. I got so caught up in the upcoming election that I completely forgot. However, I want to take this time to give homage to Melody who has been gone for 3 years. Melody, I love you and I miss you. Goodbye for now, my sweet Melody.

History in the Making....

Red Sox have finally won the World Series! After a four game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, the Boston Red Sox have broken the curse that has followed them since 1918. The Sox won during the Lunar Eclipse on October 27, 2004. Congratulations Boston!!!! Ahhhh, sweet victory! Just a quick little tidbit---Boston Red Sox are obviously from Massacusetts, which is where John Kerry is from, and they won in Busch Stadium. I think it is ironic, and it will be even more so when Kerry wins on Election Day. Kerry just has to win, and that bastard Bush needs to be 86ed out of The White House.

A Day of Fun & More Fun in Weeks to Come

Today, John & I are getting together with our friends from a group called Adventure Club. We will first go play Russian Volleyball, but I will not participate in this activity because I don't like getting hit by the ball. Next we will go play Laser Tag than Taboo (a board game) and finally, to sum up the events, we will play a game of Adventure Club Trivia. Questions are provided by my Boo Boo. Afterwards, we will see if anyone wants to get some dinner. It will be a fun day!

On October 30th, John & I will be going to a friends Halloween Party. I'm not quite sure what to expect, but I'm sure it will be fun. I think we are doing a Pumpkin Carving Contest. I will try to do my Winnie the Pooh pumpkin head that I did 5 or 6 years ago. That's a cute one!

Ahhh and no Blog is complete without the mentioning of the upcoming election on November 2nd. I can't wait to vote that bastard out of the White House. I wish the narrow-minded people who keep supporting him could see the blood on his hands. I don't know how anyone could be so pig-headed! The man sent us into a WAR without thinking the whole process through. Over a thousand of our US soldiers are dead! In addition to the US soldiers, we have hundreds of more deaths from people of other countries as well. Can't these Right-Wing Republicans see this or are they simply closing their eyes and taking a deaf ear to this horrendous tragedy?!? What is wrong with people in this world today? I hope enough people vote the right person into the White House, or God help us all!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Tonight, Boo Boo and I will eat ice cream from Dairy Queen. Yummy, yummy, yummy---I got love in my tummy. :)

Amanda & Joed's Wedding

John and I went to our friends' wedding yesterday, October 9, 2004. It was a very sweet but quick ceremony at a church in Broomfield. Later on the reception took place at the Holiday Inn at 120th and I-25, Thorton. Amanda looked beautiful in her dress, and Joed looked very handsome in his tux. John and I mostly hung out with our other friend and mutual friend to Amanda and Joed----Jackie! We had fun! I had a little toe nail injury during the Electric Slide when John accidentally stepped on my foot. It's okay Boo Boo, I know you didn't mean it. Amanda has a very big extended family. Nevertheless, it was a fun night and Amanda and Joed are off to Mexico, near Cancun, on Tuesday for their Honeymoon. Ah, the best part of getting married is the stress reliever of the Honeymoon at the end.

How Can Anyone Vote for This Man?!?

Just finished watching the election debates, and I can't help stop thinking how much of an idiot our president is! What planet is this man from? Does he honestly think America is that stupid? I guess whoever votes for him is! I'm so annoyed by his comments, and how he is taking a blind eye to what is happening in Iraq. It is like listening to someone who is a Born-Again Christian talking out of their butt and not answering the questions that are given to them. They have a one track mind, and they get stuck on a tangent that never comes to a conclusion or every answers the questions in the first place. To quote Charlie Brown, "AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It feels like Lucy just pulled the ball away right when I was about to kick it, and the wind was knocked out of me. That is how I will feel on election day if that man is voted back into office. If he is, I think I will have to move to Canada. Don't get me wrong---I love this country! What I find sad is we unfortunately live in a society of sheepish people. They follow what they think they are suppose to through their narrow mindedness, i.e. "Christianity" and never question why. So sad! I believe in God, but I don't believe in religion, because I am not a sheep.

Hello, It's Me

Today is my parents 42nd anniversary. How amazing to be with someone that long! I know that my Boo Boo and I will be married for that long and longer. We are sitting in the office room of our house being nerds. I LOVE HIM SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't really have anymore to say right now, but I hope to have new news to talk about soon.

A Cool Song

Here is a cool song from some girl named Mindy Smith. I don't know what the rest of her music sounds like, but I like this song. It reminds me of the music from O' Brother, Where Out Thou? The song is called Come to Jesus, here is the link: http://www.mindysmith.net/photosmusic.asp

My Star Wars Personality Test

I took a personality test online today. Very interesting! I am mostly like Yoda. Here is the link:

September 11th is Still A Sad Day!

I'm not pregnant this time around. I took the test this morning, and I already knew it was going to be negative before my three minutes of wait time was up---I GOT MY PERIOD!!!!!!! Oh well, John and I will just have to keep trying. I would have liked to be pregnant, but I can wait and keep trying until it finally happens. John and I will eventually be parents, it just might take a couple of tries. Besides, I know the odds are low the first time you try. Only a 15-25% chance of getting pregnant on the first try. I can't be too sad about it! Now if I was trying for a year, and I still wasn't pregnant, than I have room to be sad. I cried about it, but I think my hormones have gotten the best of me this month. I'm going to try and think positive and not let this get to me. I need to keep thinking, "If at first you don't succeed...try, try again!" :)

Future Parents to Be  

Is What I Feel Really There?

I have been feeling some very obvious symptoms, but it is too soon to test to find out for sure. I have been reading lots of information on the signs and symptoms of pregnancy. I've been feeling occasional light cramps in the lower abdomen for a week and my period is a week away....hmmmm! I've also have had tender breast for a week, and I've been more sentimental/emotional than I usually am. I've also been peeing more and feeling very tired. All symptoms of early pregnancy. Could it really be Baby Boo starting the long process of growing inside me? I really want it to be true! I'm going to take a test Saturday morning of September 11th. Maybe this day will remind me of when I found out I was having a baby instead of the horrible tragedy that happened three years ago. I can't believe that I'm going to know very soon that John and I might be having a baby. We could be parents in the next nine months----Wow, what an amazing thought!

Sick as a Dog

Here I am feeling like crap after working my first week at my new job. Those babies made me sick, I know. I have a head cold with the headache from hell. All I want is to crawl into bed and sleep this sickness away.

Let the fun begin... 

A Special Night

The time has come to set the stage for a new life that might soon come our way. John and I are going to start trying to have a baby. It won't be long until our Baby Boo is conceived, well...Hopefully it won't be too long. I have a feeling that we shouldn't have any trouble, but you never know. I'm very excited to start trying! John is going to be a great father, and any child we have will be so lucky to have him as a dad. I've been so happy with the way things have been working out for the past couple of years---I met a wonderful man who became my best friend and now husband. It is only normal that the next step is to go for the baby. Although at first it appears scary, I know it will be the best thing that happens to John and I. Baby Boo is coming soon to a Blog near you.

Another Birthday

July 29th marks the day of another birthday that has come and gone, and I am now 32 years old. It was my first birthday as someone's wife, and that is very exciting to me. My husband bought me a paper towel holder, but it is not as bad as it sounds. It is a paper towel holder with two cute bears climbing up on it. He also bought me a small, stuffed animal giraffe to symbolize the not too far off start of having a babyboo of our own. Lastly, he gave me a small Rubik cube, because I liked in when I saw it in the movie "Anchorman". He took me out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. I received cards and presents from family and friends. I was watching my nephew, James on my birthday which was hectic at times. My parent's were moving to their new house that day, so I also had to house sit. It was a little much watching an active 11 month old baby and waiting around a house for furniture to arrive. I was so glad when the evening came around so I could spend time with my husband and to joyfully celebrate my birthday. We had a great time just being together!
On July 30th, we went to the movies to see "The Village". Despite the mixed reviews, we liked it. We celebrated on Saturday going to dinner with my parents and younger brother. We are also planning on going to dinner tonight with two of our friends. It was a very nice birthday! Next year, I might have someone else in my life to celebrate my birthday with.;) Hehehehe
