You Are 56% Evil

You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side. Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.

How Evil Are You?

You Are 27 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Your Stripper Song Is

Master and Servant by Depeche Mode "There's a new game We like to play you see A game with added reality You treat me like a dog Get me down on my knees" Yawn, dancing is so boring without a little spice.

What Song Should You Strip To?

Welcome to the world little one

My friend Brig had her little girl Elish Kristin At 7:00pm EST, March 10th, 2006, weighing in at 9 pounds, 11 ounces, and 23.4 inches.

California

Was loads of fun! What should have taken under 6 hours to get there took closer to 8. There was construction at this spot where mapquest was telling us to change to like 3 different freeways within a miles distance and the signs were all screwy so we ended up going to wrong way for a bit. We got to our 1st hotel checked in, got room service ordered for Grama and the kids and then Mr. H and I took off for Medieval Times it was great, silly fun.

Sunday we woke up early to get to our Disney hotel, The Grand Californian - we checked in, gave them all our luggage and got our park tickets and headed out. We were to meet our friends at Space Mountain at 9:30 am. Luckily they were running late too, so we actually met up in line. They all went on Space Mountain, while Grama, Ry and I went to see "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" where we ruined Ry for all 3-D viewing experiences in the future. Some parts scared her, so now she won't wear the glasses to any other movie. We then went to Fantasyland and found some princesses and met up w/ everyone later. Ry and Grama went to nap later on, and when we went to get them for the fireworks that night, Ry wasn't feeling well at all. So we skipped the fireworks, and just went to the restaurant in the hotel and then to bed.

Monday, was California Adventure Park. First thing we did was get a portrait of the kids drawn. Took much longer than I thought it would. All the girls had a Princess lunch scheduled for 12:20. It was raining this day, so when we showed up, we were told we could eat outside or wait til the next seating at 12:50. Even though it was covered outside, w/ Ry being sick we waited. We had our lunch while the boys played. We met back up and Daddy came w/ us to try some kiddie stuff. We saw some more characters, and the Muppets 3-D movie. We all met up after that. Grama and Ry went on their way, so we could all go on The Tower of Terror, which was awesome. I screamed the whole time, but I loved it. This park closed at 6, so we hung a bit as a group, then our friends went on their way. Grama and Ry went back to hotel and we took Taylor over to Disneyland for a couple more hours. Tried to go on Space Mountain, since I didn't go the day before, but it was closed. Finally took the monorail back to hotel. Mom suggested we go have Sushi and she'd get room service with the kids. We went to one of the other hotels and had sushi. It was the first place Mr. H had ever had sushi when we went many years before. It continued to rain all night and at about 4am the alarms in the hotel went off. I yelled at everybody to get out, but it was a false alarm. They didn't know if it was the rain or what set it off but everything was fine. A few more hours of sleep, then back to Disneyland.
Tuesday - we never met up w/ our friends again, dead cell phone, so we all did the smaller stuff for Ry and Taylor hadn't been on any of it yet. Filled up the kids autograph books from all the characters and stayed til the end. Saw the parade and back to bed.
Wednesday - checking out of hotel, but going to do some more shopping, so they will keep the car. Shopped and then went to the beach for a bit. Had lots of fun. Buried Taylor in the sand, played in the cold water and collected some shells. We finally left at about 3:30, which was silly, we should have stayed later so not to take 2 hours to get 40 miles in rush hour traffic. Oh well, we stopped at some outlets along the way and ate dinner and finally got back home after midnight.
That is the California update!

WAR!!

Sucked as usual. Not really. I started out not even wanting to go. It just isn't as fun as it used to be. We have the RV now though, and since my Mom already paid for it, mainly for this stuff, I would have felt guilty if I didn't use it.

We got there later than Mr. H wanted to Thursday night, moved the RV a bit so we had a little more space between our really cool "neighbors". Got in our garb and headed off to try to get some food. It was after 9 though, so most of the food merchants were closed. We got the last bit of Chinese food that was left. We then headed over to our friends camp, and watched Ry run around like a crazy girl for HOURS!

Up and down the carpets, between all the fire pits, falling on her face, being shy and just being so darn cute. She finally fell asleep all cozy in her big wagon about midnight. We stayed til about 2am and then trudged back to the other end of the park to the RV area. Mr. H drank too much and got sick that night - fun times!

Friday, slept in and then headed to Wal-Mart to get some food and flashlights. The generator wasn't working so we only had 1 little tap light that our very cool RV neighbors lent us. We came back a few hours later got dressed, went to get fried pickles and some sausage and then visited a few camps. Spent most of Friday night hanging with some kids by the fire listening to them make up and tell stories. They were really cool kids and it was fun. We wished Taylor had been there to meet the kids.

Saturday - Stephi and Todd were there when we got up. Got dressed for the day and Mr. H went off to fight. We headed down to merchants row where we ran into Mrs. Rhino, who had the meanest, bitchiest look on her face the whole time. Couldn't wait for them to leave - man she sucks! Wandered for a bit, ate more fried pickles, then went back to the RV to wait for a call from bitchy Rhino that the guys had moved the fighting to an easier spot for us to see. We got the call and walked down there, only to find out the fighting was done. Oh well!

I was waiting on Mr. H so he could hang w/ Ry for a bit before I took her back to Grandmas for the night, so we could party finally, w/ Steph and Todd! HA - party poopers - had to drink all day, while I was not drinking so I could drive home and back.

I took Ry home, showered quick and headed back. We had a venison dinner w/ some friends and then proceeded to go back to Merchants row for some shopping. Didn't get anything really. Finally went to the party camp, where Steph and Todd left (I still love them) We had Stephs niece w/ us and we hung out for a bit laughing at drunk people. We walked Cassie home and went back. On the way we ran into a sweet drunk girl from Finland who came back w/ her boyfriend to the party. We laughed real hard at some really messed up converstaions which I will not go into here. I'll just say we met Adrians soul mate and she is dating Sly.

Only 1 girl pissed me off this war so that is good, and no it wasn't you Steph.

How's that for an update Brig?

A new dress for me

I got this dress for me.. Hope it fits.

So Sirius....

My best friend Phillip ROCKS!!!!! It was so nice to listen to Howard again this morning, even for my short drive into work, and then tonight after the gym, I'll be able to listen to him again. Or the 80's station, or maybe Trucker Talk, so much to choose from.

It is too bad I ruined the surprise really. It would have been nice to go out to my car unexpectedly and see it there. Of course, Phillip being in the van when I woke up, gave some of it away. Then when he told me he couldn't bring my gift inside, I knew. He is so crazy like that.

I already have 1 song programmed in. At anytime, it can find this song on any station and let me listen to it. It's The Dead Kennedys. I love it.

I was going to go out my lunch break and play w/ it and get it mounted to my dash, but I wanted to write this instead. We can always work on it tonight once the kids are in bed.

Not having to listen to "FREE RADIO" anymore is going to be awesome. Not only did the morning show w/ Adam Corolla, that replaced Howard SUCK, but the crap they were playing at night sucked too. All this crap advertising for "FREE RADIO" was really annoying.

Technically, I still have "FREE RADIO" as I am paid up for a year. At first, I did think it was silly to pay for radio, but it's so much better now that I have it.

So, thank you again my wonderful friend. You are the greatest and I love you.

Tonight

Nothing much going on. Movieman came over, as usual, and after Mr. H got home from work, Movieman and I went to Robs to check out the new digs. The place still has to be decontaminated, but will be great once it's done. Plus, now Movieman will only be a mile away, so as he pointed out tonight he will not have an excuse to be late anymore.

Rob is going to be so much happier now, w/o the crummy roommate situation. Mei will be here soon and they will be married. I may have mentioned this before, but I CAN"T WAIT!!!!! I am so happy for the both of them, and she is the sweetest lady!

I should be in bed. I was so friggin' tired today, I talked myself right out of going to the gym after work. I will go Thursday. Hopefully, the sickness will be gone from DivaPrincess' house and she can meet up with me.

Nighty, night friends~

Asshat

Anybody other than me heard the word "asshat" before? Mr. H and Movieman were making fun of me for using that word on a comment to DivaPrincess about her sweetie. They had never heard it and wanted to know where it came from. Honestly, I have no idea, I just know I have heard it before.
I googled it and found this funny site though, so obviously other people have used this word and it is not something I just made up. There are several sites relating to the word "asshat" out there.

Ok, on to other things now. My baby is mostly better, wants to run around and be a crazy kid like normal. We took her to the park today since she was feeling better. I am still staying home w/ her tomorrow, just because I can. I already have the day off anyway, and I love to hang w/ her by myself.

More vomit..

Ry has been puking her guts up since 3am. Can't keep water or 7-up down. Poor baby. We are both off today and I am working on getting tomorrow and Wednesday off too. I know my husband, who is off tomorrow and my Mother in law who would be w/ her Wednesday will take care iof her just fine, but I want to be home taking care of my baby.

Her docs office said there are many viruses going around and could last 5-7 days, man I hope not!

My new friend Mei

I made this for my friend Rob and his love Mei. I know it is cheesy, but she is so sweet and makes him so happy, I don't care! He is the brother I never wanted and she will be the sister in law I do want.

Good times...

Rob was just over with some wine glasses and this yummy (for wine) cheap Australian wine. He was over to celebrate that his current roommates will soon be moving out and Phillip will be moving in. It was fun and we talked of all the plans he has to make his place all nice for his new love to arrive in March. I can't wait to meet her!

Other than that, nothing much else going on this weekend. Just me and Ry tomorrow hanging out. Sunday, Steph and I will go to the gym in the morning. I should also get this messy house cleaned up this weekend. Most of the Christmas stuff is packed but still a few items remain - hey it's not February yet, so I am doing ok.

Vomit

I got puked on for the 2nd time in my life the other day. Luckily, it was my child this time and not some drunk guy I was dancing with.

Too many "airplane" rides up in the air I guess, and I got shot in the eye w/ some puke! I did good in only gagging once or twice on our way into the bathroom to clean up.

U PEOPLE SUCK

The title of this blog. Was in reference to "Operation U People Suck" that my Mother was supposed to start well over a year ago on her husbands kids.

4 out of 5 of them are total assholes, and are the main reason I don't ever visit her, she always comes here. I must admit, they come by it honestly, they act like their Dad, but when he wants to he can actually be fun to be around, not so much the case with them.

So "Operation U People Suck" came up about a year or so ago, when my Mom was asking what it would take to get me to go visit. I told her she had to go a whole weekend, with his kids in and out of the house, as they are always there - hence why I won't visit - Anyway, I told her to go a whole weekend totally ignoring them, not even speaking to them if spoken to, just treating them as if they don't exist and that she couldn't tell anyone why. Those that know my Mother, know this is totally against her character and would be very hard for her to do. Which is why it still hasn't been done. I told her to just ask her husband for lessons, as this is how he has treated me in the past. Didn't speak one word to me for over 2 months, because I told him to shut up once when he was insulting.

This is for one of 2 reasons.

1 - his kids just suck and when I have visited in the past, I spent most of the time when we were at her house in the guest room, as one or more of his kids is always around and in the 8 years my Mother has been married, I haven't exchanged more than 10 words w/ 3 of them. They just act as though I don't exist, and after living in the house for a short time while I lived in Utah, I returned the sentiment. Other than the screaming match through my bedroom door w/ the oldest one day.

2- I wanted her to show her husband what it is like to treat his kids as crappy as he has treated me, and still does on occasion. She has never been anything but nice to these shitheads and they do not even deserve to be graced w/ her presence.

Yet, they get all the benefits of my Mother on a daily basis, and I get visited 4 times a year. She should be here, watching her grandchildren grow up, not there watching his. Of course, that will never happen, as he will never leave his kids, he just expects her to not be close to hers.

I know I am an adult now, w/ my own family, and I should get over it, but I can't.

Now she wants me to come there for Mothers Day weekend, instead of her coming here. It sucks, because now my Grandma, who of course wants to make her daughter happy, is saying she will buy our tickets for me and Ry to go there as that was my excuse not to go, beyond all the other crap. I have tried other ideas, like we all meet in San Francisco and stay in really nice hotels for free, but they aren't going for it. Of course, I could just say no, but I don't want to disappoint my Mom either.

Supposedly, she has already told her husband in the past I will only come visit if his kids stay away while I am there, and he has agreed to it. I do kind of want to test this and see if they will stick by it. Plus it would just piss his kids off too.

The strangest dream

I was taking a quick nap, before going to get my eyebrows ripped off my face at the salon.....

And this is my dream....

Mr. H and I were making dinner for my Dad and Stepmom, we had gotten the funniest shaped potatoes, some were huge, and twisty, some were tiny, and some even looked like little high heel shoes (guess which kind I picked for myself)

Then my parents disappear and there is my Mother in law sitting on a stool in our kitchen, talking about how she put Ryster down for another nap, because she was being grumpy.

Then there is some guy outside, still haven't figured out who he was, but apparently we hadn't seen him in quite some time. He comes in and sees Mr. H, while I am still in the kitchen. He's like "dude, you look different" my mother in law says something totally cheesy like, "he's turned into such a pretty man" So, I have to look out the little opening in the kitchen to see what is so different about him.

There stands my husband, in a short sleeve dress shirt, wearing a tie, w/ a little morman name badge. I said something along the lines of "holy shit, I need a picture of this" and then I woke up.

I think him dressing like a mormon missionary shocked me awake!

Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a great holiday. Ours was great. The kids got everything they wanted and Disneyland too. It was great to have my Mom here as always. "Uncle Phillip" was here when we got up, as he had worked all night and then came straight over. My Mother in law came over as soon as we woke up and called her so she could watch the kids open everything. In the afternoon, my sister in law came down w/ her boyfriend, his daughter and my nephew.

The Monday after Xmas we went to Santas Village w/ Uncle Phillip and Mary and the rest of the family. Phillip had gotten tickets through work. We all had a great time. Tuesday, I had to go back to work, leaving Grama at home w/ the kids. Tuesday night my Mom and I were going to go to a movie, but decided on dinner and shopping instead as the movie theater was pretty crowded. Got some new clothes courtesy of Mommy. Wednesday, I went to work at 6am, so I could get off work at 330pm. Grama was again home with the kids and sewed them some super cute bathrobes. We took her to the airport, where of course after dropping her off and being half way home, she calls to tell us the plane is late.

On New Years Eve, David, Rylee and I went to a friend of his from work. They bbq'd a fine meal and we played my new Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture DVD game that I got for Xmas. At midnight the kids were outside blowing whistles and screaming Happy New Year, we toasted w/ some Champagne and came home. It was fun. We haven't done much of anything for a few New Years now, so it was nice.

That's about it. Ry and I are off to Sams Club to get a few things, eat some lunch and then nap time. Daddy works till 1030 tonight and Taylor is at his Moms. Movieman, may grace us with his presence, we'll just have to wait and see.

Sick and bored

My and my girl have the creepy crud going on over here. Nasty cough and big time stuffy, plus it feels like someone is squeezing my head in a vice or something. It sucks.

So, anyway, I haven't posted much lately. This isn't much now either, but I am bored. Mr. H is at work and the boy is at his moms, so it is just me and the girl today.

We went to Tucson last weekend to visit w/ my sister in law and her family. We stayed here! My mother in law came w/ us but she stayed at my sister in laws. It was a nice weekend for the most part. :)

My Mommy comes on Wednesday night for a week. We picked up our layaway from Wal-Mart last night, so now I just have to get everything wrapped and under the tree, except for the santa gift.

While Mommy is here, we are going to paint some pottery w/ the kids and do zoo lights. DivaPrincess, I'll send you an email but we were thinking of doing this zoo instead this year. Let me know what you think, it costs 7.00.

So sign up for this blingo thing that I have linked, over there, to your right, above the weather girl, we can all win prizes by doing google searches.

Peace out!

Happy Thanksgiving

to all my friends and family. Or to at least the 3 that read this.
