- Just 15 days to go until my newest heir to the throne is brought, screaming, into this world. Hard to believe, eh?

You Were Nice This Year 
You Were 25% Naughty, 75% Nice Okay, so you weren’t *entirely* nice this year But Santa doesn’t expect a modern girl to be perfect You were good enough – and you’ll be rewarded for it

Your Celebrity Boob Twin: 
Anna Nicole Smith
- I hope that Melinda got her heat back this weekend.
- Prince was awesome in the superbowl halftime show. He’s still hot after all these years. I actually stood in line at 5am to get tickets for his show 23 years ago.. and they sold out before I got any.
- I taught a one-on-one eBay class yesterday, despite the fact that it was 10 degrees out, and I’m , ya know, 99 months pregnant. But the lady was very appreciative, so that was nice. She even called to make sure I got home ok.
- My mom & dad are coming up for the baby’s birth
- My friend angel is sending me a paddle that’s even got my name on it. I can’t wait.
- Although it wasn’t a holiday, my mom turned 60 this weekend, and my parents also celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary. I can’t possibly fathom that!
- My 3 yr old has officially joined the ranks of the homeschooled.
- My kids keep coming up with names for the baby.
- While I haven’t been able to be particularly kinky for a while, I still have kinky thoughts, so I consider that to be my reason why I keep my blog named this
- Even though we’re expecting a very nice tax refund, I cannot think of more than 2 things that I want to buy when we get the money One of them is a freezer, the other – a *good* frying pan.
- A really awesome homeschooling site – IknowThat.com
- I quit smoking 16 years ago and according to quitnet.com, I’ve saved $60,000.
- I was really upset by this news story about this woman who was refused medical treatment while being arrested, and she miscarried her baby. Now, while she obviously was probably already losing the baby, having to go through that whole night KNOWING it was happening, would be awfully cruel.
- Some people try to guess my password for my password protected postings. I tell them that’s like trying to hack my blog.
- This other story about this couple who had sextuplets and then refused to allow them to have what could have been life-saving medical treatments that would have saved TWO of the babies – also pisses me off. You want them so bad, you do what you have to, religion or not, to SAVE THEM.
- While I can’t wait for my pregnancy to be finished and the baby to be here, I know I’ll miss being pregnant, at least a little bit.
- I have read every single (fiction) book by Koontz, Patterson, King, & Grafton.
- In hindsite, I wish I hadn’t fought so hard to avoid a c-section with my son, thus putting both our lives in danger.
- After almost 12 years, I can say without a doubt that our relationship is stronger than it’s ever been.
- And the sex ain’t bad either
And in case you’re wondering, I’ve just used every category I have on my blog LOL
food, family & fun… ahhhhh
The reward for patience. The weather sucked this weekend – at least most of it, it did. Our patience was rewarded, though, on Sunday night when we were presented with this beautiful sunset.
NEVER stay at the Meadowbrook Hotel in Portsmouth, NH – NEVER.
On Friday, we endured cloudy skies and the occasional raindrop but brought the kids to the ocean and we spent a while exploring the rocks and tidal pools that’d been left behind after high tide.
Saturday was spent by me all day in my eBay class. It rained buckets & buckets. Hubby & kids explored a nearby submarine museum and mall. Saturdya night, we went to dinner.
Sunday brought more rain in the AM, but by the time we headed out down to Downtown Portsmouth, it’d cleared up partially. We checked out the docks and found this huge ship being unloaded (they’d been doing it since Friday) – an amazing process to watch – they were unloading sand! Sunday (which was our anniversary) brought us some amazing seafood right there on those same docks for lunch, swimming at the pool at the hotel and and then we headed down to the beach to watch the sunset (see above). It was a really gorgeous day and it really was nice to spend it with them all (not just hubby). What a difference a year makes!
Last year’s anniversary left a little to be desired, to say the least.
Anyways, we had also gone to dinner in between everything else – and so finally, when we got back to the room, everyone was wiped out. Showers later, we all fell into bed exhausted. Hubby & I exchanged cards after the kids were asleep, talked some, and then finally went to sleep (can you beLIEVE that? LOL) – but it was OK – I got him the next morning
Monday morning, hubby had a job interview and then we hit the beach for REAL this time. I’ve missed jumping the waves and trying not to drown and so this was fun. I even got my son to venture in with me for a brief time before, of course, he got overtaken by a wave to the face and left the beach LOL
We headed home and so now, here we are. Zzzzzzzzz… still worn out.
yay
Well, I’ve got my first “official” eBay class under my belt. I’ve taught the class several times before, but it was only material that I’d put together. This time, it’s a 6 hr seminar and they provide the materials (I have to pay for them, but it’s at least “sanctioned” by them). It was a good class, and I think the evaluations will reflect that, so I’m psyched.
I’ve been sick since we returned from RI from the funeral, so another reason why I’ve been scarce. Now that that’s done, hopefully this damned lung fungus will go away and things can get back to NORMAL.
As if normal is normal LOL
fun fun fun
So, my youngest is moving into the nice plague-type thing my son is recovering from. She wakes up with a 102 fever. There’s nothing more pathetic than a baby that’s sick. Truly. Just in time, of course, for her grandparents & uncle (the good, non-evil ones) to come visit this weekend, of course. So I have a bucket to the side of the bed, just in case, and motrin on board, and my fingers crossed.
Things have been OK… we’ve been working our asses off, trying to get things moving as far as business is concerned. Booking classes, creating ads, flyers, brochures, cards.. you name it, we’ve been doing it. I’m hoping it pays off, because if not, we’re screwed – yet again. I did have a new client, doing on-site computer trainig, but that ended this week, so now we’re back to NO money coming in. Hopefully, that’ll change soon, since she was so happy with what I did for her, she’ll be recommending me around the company. Keep your fingers crossed!
I’m finishing up with 60+ eBay auctions that I did for my ex. Almost everything sold, so far, I’m happy to say. Now to just get these people to LEAVE MY FEEDBACK!!!
I know, I’m always wanting SOMETHING lol
like money, sex, money… (not all together, of course)
I’m here :)
Just been so busy. Between doing some on-site computer classes for a new client twice a week, preparing and submitting 60+ auctions on eBay for someone (I’m a trading assistant) and booking & preparing tech classes for the organization that I also teach at, it’s been a very busy few weeks.
I did want to say CONGRATULATIONS! to my blogfriend Melinda of Anything Said and her hubby on her annoucement that they’re expecting. You’re entering such an incredibly WILD world! You’ll hear it a million times – it’s the best thing you’ll ever do, but also the hardest. My kids are the best part of my life
As for us, things are better. My little breakdown seems to have helped somewhat. We’re literally working 10-12 hrs some days, trying to get our business going, so finding time for just US is even more difficult than it was when he was working outside the home. Hopefully, though, the work will pay off and we’ll be able to make a go of it. I do know that the company that I’ve been “servicing” is already referring me to other departments, so that’s a definite plus
Next weekend, my parents & youngest brother are coming up to visit us for Easter. I’m psyched, and of course, the kids are too. They need the balance of grandparents who actually love and accept them as they are, after the trip to hell to visit the “others”.
Isn’t that pathetic that I even have to write that.
On another subject, I noticed on someone’s blog that apparently “someone” in blog world has made some sort of announcement that maybe her posts haven’t been true or are fictional or something. I don’t know who it was, nor the exact circumstance, but I’ll take this moment to also say that what you read here is true, that if I make something up (like my story), you’ll know it. I don’t think you could make up the crazy stuff that happens in my life LOL Although I’ve changed their names, but my family is my family. I don’t tell you everything – and sometimes I tell you too much – but it’s all real. Even my whacked out, sometimes blind sister who doesn’t listem to me nearly enough
I’m here, really I am
Valentine’s Day was awesome. Incredible. Extravagant! My wonderful man made it truly a wonderful day, and even BETTER night!
Omg.
I’ve been working on a bunch of things, so that’s why I have been pretty scarce. For one, I’ve once again decided to go back to teaching all sorts of technology classes at the Women’s Entreprenurial Network place that I”ve taught at before. This pays me 60% of the class take, which isn’t too shabby. But better than that, it gets me more exposure for our business (web design, graphics design & website marketing), and since now that hubby’s out of work, we’re working hard on getting that truly going as a business, and not just some cute business cards.
I’m also now an Education Specialist for Ebay, which means I can teach Ebay classes WITHOUT GETTING SUED, which is what they’d started doing. This will allow me to teach all-day seminar-type classes on the ins and outs of selling on eBay to various small business people and individuals. I’ll also be able to offer continuing education “units” for people who need them to retain their certifications in various professions.
All in all, a very busy few weeks! I promise, you haven’t missed much kink, but that’s ok – we’re happy, we’re healthy & we’re here.
