Well,   what a crazy ride I had……….Actually I had A BLAST in Colorado!!!!

So I went out and bought this new phone so I could blog with everyone,  then each night as I am typing away,  and I go to save my blog post,   nothing would happen.    Almost like I never did anything.    Talk about a waste of time!   But I actually did try to do it.    For whatever reason,   it just wouldn’t save it for me.    I tried…….

I have so many things to talk about regarding my vacation,  but this could be a good 3 page blog and I don’t have patience for that nonsense.    I am tired and need to relax.   My butt is sore from sitting so damn long in the vehicle.    I still have plenty of unpacking to do,  and that will be my morning tomorrow.

What I will say about my vacation first is that I truly enjoyed the beauty of mother nature all over in Colorado.   It is so amazing to me that those that are lucky enough to live there 24/7,   have all that wonderful scenery at their disposal all the time.    I sure hope that none of them take for granted all the things to do and see there.   We didn’t even have time to do 1/2 of what we would have liked to,  but the many things we did see,  was simply astonishing to us.    I did learn something more about myself in this trip though.   I am a little more of a country girl at heart than I ever thought I am.    Now don’t get me wrong,   I still love my Rock n Roll music,  in fact country music just doesn’t sound good to me,   but in all the suburbs and small towns we visited,  I was most drawn to the towns,  like  Winter Park,  Estes Park,  Georgetown,  just to name a few.   I really could envision myself living there and the peacefulness and solitude I would so enjoy there.    How awesome it would be to have a home in the mountains and be further away from the big city,  the hustle and bustle of every day life there.   That to me would be heaven.    Someday I want to be there,   but for now it isn’t really an option.

My most favorite part of the trip (one of them anyway)  was Colorado Springs.   Pikes Peak was quite inspiring,  the way it dominates the city.    No matter where you are at in the Springs,  that mountain peak was right there.    And it was even more gorgeous because it was snow capped.   As a lover of the mountains,  that view was my favorite.    We looked at some homes in different areas of the city there and no matter where we were,  there was the mountain.    It seemed as if it was protecting the city.    Just incredible to me.

The people in Colorado were friendly.    But I have to say,  that their driving skills need some serious work.   Very impatient behind the wheel and often could be quite rude.    Denver is nice,   VERY LARGE and to be honest,  too large for my taste.    We did like a couple of the suburbs the best,  but still Colorado Springs is my favorite.

On the way home this morning,   as I watched the mountains behind me disappear,  I felt almost sad,  because I knew I would not be seeing them again for some time.    But as with anything,  you grow more and more anxious to get home.    The drive here was incredibly long for us.   The wind gusts on the interstate were dangerous even.    Our van was being pushed side to side at times and that was a bit scary.    We are just glad to be home now.    Of course for me,  home is where the heart is, and for the moment,  that is here,   but inside I long to be somewhere else.     That time will come soon enough.    I wish I could have stayed in Colorado a while longer,   but then again,  being there 5 or 7 days  would only make you want to be there even longer.     We did get a 10% discount on our next rental car purchase,   so maybe we will use that next year??   Hmmm,   the possibilities.

Oh I have rambled on enough.   So much to say still about the trip and tomorrow I will tell more,  but for now I am going to relax some and really enjoy my own bed tonight.    My pillow,   my bathroom,   oh my!!!   The privacy!!!!   You have no idea just how much you miss your own privacy until you have to share a small hotel room with 2 adults and 3 kids!    In fact now that I think about it,   my home is heaven right about now……So I am going to enjoy it that much more.

Kisses to all and much more to cum tomorrow!!!!!

GLAD TO BE HOME!!   (kinda anyway)

We will be on the road!!   FINALLY right?    Geez,  I feel like I have been talking about this trip for a very long time already.    Almost didn’t think it would ever get here,  but now here I am,  ready to get the funk outta here!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!   Well I finally got my Sisters cake delivered tonight and did my last few errands that I needed to.    My friend is on his way over to help me get my video uploaded and I am hoping it won’t be a late night.    I am going to need my sleep tonight so I can help my husband make the long drive tomorrow.    It really is not that easy to sleep on the road like you think it may be.

I did buy my new phone,   so I will try my hardest to still write my blog and tell you all how Colorado is,  but if I miss a night,  don’t get all goofy about it.    If it ends up taking me too long to type out a sentence on that itty bitty keyboard on the phone,  then I will get impatient and not do it.   I will really try my best though.    Patience has never been one of my more favorable traits……

I do however,  want you to comment on my video when you all see it.    That will be viewable anytime this weekend.   Maybe Saturday night or Sunday I am thinking.     I know you all will enjoy it.

I have everything packed and ready to go.    The kids things are all done also,  so there is not much left to do.   I am sure I will be running around the house in the morning,   looking for something I may have forgotten.   Who knows.    I am sure I am not the only one who does that when it comes time to leaving for any number of days.

Oh,  I do have to remind our neighbor and leave our cell numbers with them just in case there is an emergency with the house or something.     We have cool neighbors here.    We have 2 (front of the house and in the back)  that will be keeping an eye out for us.    So neato!

Well,  that time of night.    Hopefully soon I will be on my way up to bed to relax,   but first gotta get the video uploaded.     So,  you have a great weekend and I will chat with you all maybe tomorrow night or Sunday night,  or whenever!!!

KISSES and MANY LICKS to you all!!!!!!!

Headed to Gods country baby!!

I am counting………slowly,  but surely………  Well in less than 48 hours we will be outta here!!

We did find a bit of bum news this afternoon though.    The one mountain top we really wanted to drive up is called Mt. Evans.   But,  due to recent snow and ice in the mountain,  they have closed it to the public until next May already!   Damn it anyway!   But I guess that is the chance you take.    Oh well.    It put just a little damper on the trip,   but there are soooooooooo many other things to see and enjoy there in Colorado.     Mt. Evans will have to be another time.     We still will have a major blast!

I hope you all have had a great week!   Can you believe tomorrow is Friday already?   Wow,  the time sure flies by ya know?    I had a good day.    Got my laundry caught up,  the normal house cleaning, etc.    I don’t want to come home to a messy house next week and feel bombarded or anything.    Heck,   I will have plenty of unpacking to do as it is.    Don’t forget the laundry I will have either and the grocery shopping, etc.     I am sure I will feel like I have been gone forever.     That usually happens when you have been away from home for a few days or so.

Well my friend is coming over tomorrow evening to get my video uploaded,  so you all will be able to view it while I am gone.    That will be nice for you all.    It is a keeper and you will enjoy it lots!!
I am so tired.    Feel like I could sleep forever.    The kids don’t have school tomorrow,  so I will be busy packing all their clothes and toys.    Running around the house,  thinking of any last minute stuff to take.    I am sure you know the last minute thing.    Driving yourself nuts,   hoping you are not forgetting anything major.     So because I have a busy day tomorrow,    I am heading to bed a bit earlier.      Enjoy your Friday tomorrow!!   Kisses night night!!!

I almost forgot to write my blog tonight!

Geez……..Well today was a good day.    I did some stuff around the house,  ran a few errands and before I knew it,  my kids were due home from school.     I figured this week would fly by and it sure has so far!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!   Can’t believe tomorrow is Thursday already.    Any plans for the upcoming weekend?    You all know where I will be!!!

So my computer friend is coming over on Friday to help me get our newest video uploaded to my computer so that I can get it put on my website.    So you all will have the viewing pleasure of it while I am on the road.    Trust me,   you will love it!!   It is really sexy.    I am just glad I will be able to get it uploaded finally.   My husbands computer is still stuck on stupid.    We will have to deal with that when we get back.   I am sure he will be more than ready to be able to use his own computer again.    I can’t imagine being without mine for any length of time.

I am so tired tonight.    I have been sleeping really good lately,  mostly because of the cool weather and tonight is another cool night.    It is that time for me.    Normally I am already in bed snuggled under the blanket or already sleeping,   but we had to have the hot sex tonight.    I never turn that down!!!   So naughty!

Well now I am satisfied,  and even more tired than before,   so headed to lala land………Kisses and nibbles!!!

Told you this week would go by fast!    So far it is,  and I better get my cute butt moving with the packing.    Such a task sometimes.    But I think I will have to do it tomorrow.    Just gotta do it and get it over with and then I can relax a bit more before leaving Saturday.

I am so proud of myself!   I bought myself a new cell phone today.   Upgraded it and so now this new phone has a keyboard and all so I can continue to do my blog while I am away.    Now hopefully I will remember to do it,   but I am sure I will.    My other cell phone was at least 3 or more years old,  and it also was not staying charged for as long as it should,   so I guess it was time to upgrade.     This one is so fancy though.   Takes a while to learn all these fancy features,  most of which I may hardly/rarely use.

Today was a good day.   I did my photo shoot this morning and that went really well.    We were going to shoot at our normal location,   but all week there has been a SWAT team there doing training,   so because I am sure that would have been quite awkward,   we left and headed to the lake instead.    The weather was a little chilly,   but nice.    Much better than the high humidity any day!

I got my phone afterwards.    I sure didn’t realize how long it can take at the cellular office.    Geez,   I was there for over an hour,  getting things all set up.    Sure takes a while.    Good thing I am patient!    After that,  it was later by the time I got home and I had enough time to bake my Sisters cake.    After it cooled off,  I realized I forgot to buy the ingredients to make the frosting.    Whatever.     So now I have to go to the store in the morning after I drop the girls off at school.     Even though my hubby doesn’t like the cake,  so I rarely ever get to enjoy a piece,   I did have some extra batter left and was able to make 6 cupcakes.    I will enjoy eating those tomorrow after I get them all frosted.    So yummy!!!!

Well it is that time of night.    Yawning like crazy  and my bed is calling me.    You know where I am headed……Kisses everyone!!

Oh my,  was today a chilly day.    Of course the weather felt good,  but the wind made it feel a little chilly at times.    Fantastic for sleeping tonight though!!

I had a good day.    Was busy all damn day with odds and ends.    Did a modeling shoot today and I have another in the morning.     5 more days and I am outta here!!   Headed to God’s country…….   Just think of the fantastic photos I will have.    It is going to be so awesome!

Well,   I have to give a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my most favorite Sister.     HAPPY BIRTHDAY,  HAPPY BIRTHDAY,   HAPPY BIRTHDAY,   HAPPY BIRTHDAY,   HAPPY BIRTHDAY,   HAPPY BIRTHDAY,   HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

I had to help my girls with some homework this evening.     Matter of fact,  I will be helping them with homework every night for a while it appears.    It is amazing how much more they have to learn at this age than what I did when I was back in school.     I don’t think I can remember back that far anyway.     But man oh mighty,   the expectations sure are great in school these days!   I guess that is good though.   Depending on how you look at it anyway.

Hope you all are off to a wonderful start this week!    Tomorrow is Tuesday already.     I have a feeling this week is going to fly by.    I think I should start packing my stuff tomorrow already,   as suddenly it will be Friday and I won’t be done.   Then the stress will begin and the crabby mood.    Not good.    Not good at all.   So I better get it started.     This is when I wish we all had built in wings so that we could just up and fly wherever we wanted to go.    Just think how quickly we would get to our destination.     Maybe someday??   Hmmmm,  interesting thought.

Oh my am I tired.    This weather is so relaxing that I am anxious to curl up under my wooly mammoth and relax.     I think that is what I am going to do,    so you all have a great night and I am off!

Kisses night night!!

WOW what a good weekend it was!

The weather was very nice and the kids were quite behaved and that my friends makes for a good one!    We had fun today.    Took some awesome pictures.   My husband has not taken pictures of me in some time,  geez!  But today he did and that was nice.    We spent lots of time outside today.    The neighbor kids were over in our backyard often playing with our kids and then our kids would go to their yard and play.    So nice that kids are able to make friends and play with others in their own yard.    At our old house,  there never were any kids in the neighborhood our kids age to play with.

We have been sitting outside most of the night.    Just came in a bit ago.    In fact,  it is nicer outside than it is in the house.    We will have a nice cool down tomorrow and most all next week.    I just love this time of year!    Tomorrow is my oldest Sisters Birthday!!   I am going to be busy all this next week.    Will be packing here and there,  getting my stuff together and the kids stuff packed.   That will be a chore in itself!   We are planning on being out of here next Saturday by 8:30AM to go get the van.    Oh my……Just so excitable!!

I am getting tired.    That time of night where I like to cuddle in bed with my wooly mammoth blanket and watch some tv.     So I am heading up to do just that.    Just another FYI:   The video will be on my site really soon.   You all will get to enjoy it while I am in Colorado.     So many kisses and licks night night!!!!

Have a great Monday!!!!

7 Days to go and this time next Saturday we will have been in GOD’S country for a couple of hours already!!   Oh,  I mean Colorado.     HOW FUN!!!   I cannot wait.    We have thought about that so much today.    I even had a dream about it last night and this morning when I woke up,   I honestly did not know what day it was.    It took me a while to really come to,   just to finally realize it was Saturday.    Man,  is that ever a strange feeling!

I guess that means I was sleeping really good.     Well our weather cooled off more finally and we opened up the windows again.    Nice!!    We had a good day.     This morning there was some fog,  so we drove the kids to the lake and walked around for a bit and watched the fog on the water.    Drove around the lake some more and we all got to see a pack of wild turkeys and also a few deer.    The kids got a big kick out of  that.   I told them wait until we are in Colorado next week and the wildlife they will see there.    They won’t know what to think about it!   I cannot wait for them to see their first Big Horned Sheep and other animals we don’t see here.    We all are nature lovers.

We spent quite some time outdoors.    The kids had lots of fun playing in the backyard with the neighbor kids.    I don’t think they were inside today for even an hour.    They had fun and why the hell not?   You are only a kid for a short time in life,  so I say,   enjoy it while you can.

Well our football game today was frickin’ crap.    I don’t much care if we win or lose anyway,   but double damn.    Today’s game was just pathetic.     From the coaches to the players,  they all were out of whack.     Don’t get me started.   I could talk all night about the damn screwed up plays and coaching errors,  but not gonna.     See,  this is another reason I just don’t get that involved in football.    Some take it way too serious and let a  loss ruin their entire day.     Not me.     Life goes on people!

I am almost chilly right now.    I got goosebumps all over my body and now I am getting tired.    This weather sure makes you relaxed and able to sleep really well.    In fact,  that sounds marvelous to me,  so I am going to head upstairs to my comfy bed and relax.    There is still another football game on and so our news will be late.   By then I will be in lala land.     Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!!!

MANY kisses and hugs to you all!!!!

Well what a day.    I did all my errands yesterday,  so today I felt bored.   I ended up picking my husband up from work and took him out for lunch.   That is nice to be able to do that every so often!

My Son had a psych.  appointment after school and then came home and ate dinner.    Nothing too exciting,  but the kids are easily pleased at times.     My husbands computer is still stuck on stupid.   It is not connecting to the internet at all and today I spent lots of my free time backing up all our pictures and videos onto disks.   I am almost done with that.    I think our hard-drive is going to have to be replaced.    So the video will definitely be available either by the time I leave next week or while I am gone.    Either way,  believe me when I say that it is worth the wait!

We went to the grocery store tonight and there were TONS of those little gnats flying all over the place.   I mean swarms of them.   They were sticking to our arms and clothes.    Just nasty!   Can you imagine how much nicer this world would be without all the damn bugs we have?    Seriously.

Well I am going to head upstairs.   I am planning on slipping into some sexy lingerie,  my high heels and surprising my sexy man.    I know he will love it!     Maybe a few little details later…….   Hope you all have a great Friday night!      COLLEGE FOOTBALL tomorrow baby!!    Oooooohhh fun…….whatever!

Kisses and many long licks!!!!

Geez,  2 really good nights in a row!

I had a  good day.    After I dropped the girls off to school,   I ran several errands and that took up most of my day.    I got some pictures back from a photographer that I did a shoot with  a couple of weeks ago and those turned out really neat.

Well obviously we are not leaving for Colorado this weekend.    My youngest has a cold,  so I want her to have a chance to get over it and I think by mid next week she will be better.    As long as me or my hubby don’t get one,  then we will be good to go!

My husbands computer is not fixed yet.    My friend will be back tonight to try it again.    We are thinking the wireless router is going out.    We have had it for several years now,   so I am almost sure that is the problem.  Oh well,   as long as it gets fixed soon,  otherwise we won’t be able to upload our newest video.   Don’t worry,  we will get it fixed really soon.

He just showed up,  so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be fixed soon,   so time to sign off for the night.    Happy Friday tomorrow everyone!!   Enjoy your last day of work for the week!!!

Many kisses!
