Bayvin and I

We are on our probably 20th time watching Ella Enchanted this week. To me its much better than CareBears, but we also recently got All Dogs go to Heaven and Fox and the Hound, Bayvin liked both, she'll ask to watch "Dog Heaven" or "Copper". Ocassionally will ask to watch Princess Diaries, guess it means we're on a Anne Hathaway kick.

I got some adult movies for me to watch, last night I saw King Arthur, it was pretty good. I liked Guenievere being a warrior chick and all. Also got Hitch and Miss Congeniality 2, can't wait to watch either, but unfortunately Grif wants to watch both and stupid gaming comes first...

What I did to my nails yesterday:



Bayvin in the pool on the patio!

nothing new...

Not much going on here at the moment. Father's day was cool, we all went and played mini golf and some games and stuff at Funworks.

I looked into becoming a manicurist. Thought I'd really want to do it, but really there's no guarantee of getting a job after paying 3500 bucks for school. Granted not that much money as learning other professions, but still a lot of money to pay into. Plus I do have the virtual tour business, its just not taking off as fast as I'd like it to. Also I do my nails about every other day, so I should be putting that practice to good use somwhere else... but alas, not gonna happen.

Grif and I both want to put Bayvin into preschool, get her some more interaction and learn stuff but we can't afford it unless I get some steady work.

Why is it that moving to Viroqua is sound better and better, on the financial standpoint. Just dealing with the small town and the horrible winters and the horrible summers just doesn't sound good. But a large house on property close to my folks and not having to work for a couple years sounds good.

new white dress

Grandmo and Grandpa John sent Bayvin this dress, its absolutely adorable!!

anniversary

It was nice. The Outback was so yummy, unfortunately didn't get dessert, too dang full! I took some really nice pictures yesterday and framed them for Grif.

Large size

more things..

Well, I got Grif his father's day present early. It was an intercom system since his lazy ass doesn't want to come down the stairs when the phone is for me, or if he has something he needs to tell me; but no matter where we plugged them in, there was a loud buzzing noise... so I guess the cheap ones won't work for us, and the better ones are too expensive. So back to the drawing board on what to get him for Father's Day....

Our 4 year anniversary is thursday. Since there doesn't seem to be any movies out we want to see that we haven't seen... I think we're gonna go to Outback for dinner. I miss the Outback, I loved that place so much, it is so good. So hard to go and spend 40 bucks for dinner when you know what that can pay for on things you need. Woohoo for special occasions.

Legal Proceedings of Medical Marijuana

That's just one of the many articles about today's marijuana issues. Will that change much, yeah I think it'll get lots more people pissed off. Thats way it has been, its always been against federal law, I think they just wanted to show regular people in their homes that yes they can get busted. How can this happen? Most likely someone in your neighborhood doesn't like you and feel they can be a giant ass and call federal agents on you. Not only is your neighbor cruel, BUT federal agents taking time out of their day to do crap like this instead of the real crap that's going on in this world is just WRONG. Who is getting hurt by a woman with a horrible disease growing pot... NOBODY... not only is nobody getting hurt, but someone is actually feeling BETTER... imagine that. damn courts... so afraid of freaking change that could make the US better, then need to make it worse, and I can't believe I voted for Bush the first time.

RAT!

Its official, I CAN scream like a girl. I think it was over a week ago that Grif said we had a rat in the laundry room and that it ran into the garage. I never saw it, figured that could be it, it would go away. WELL... last night I was doing laundry and Nox kept lookin at me funny and then sniffing by the dryer, even IN the dryer, so I was lookin around, didn't find anything. I went out to get more laundry, came back, she was doing the same thing. Then all of a sudden a big grey rat ran right between my feet and into the garage. I screamed, yep. Well more of a semi high pitched yelp of surprise. Scared the crap out of me. Good thing it didn't run over my foot, I would have been freaked out for awhile.

Went out to Target yesterday to get a new cheap phone for the wall. Ya know, incase both of the cordless ones die or we can't find one... whatever... I got one, 8.99. Well, when I opened it up and was about to put it on the wall, we got out the longer cord to switch out, well turns out you can't take the cord out of this phone! So now I have to take it back and find yet another cheap phone, royal pain in the ass.

btw, Happy Memorial Day...

my nails

did something really cool to my nails today so I had to post a picture :) I should have taken a picture of the last time, but I forgot.

Oh and some more pictures of Bayvin and me

remote for camera

Finally looked up on how to use the remote... Bayvin had lots of fun with it!

slowing down

Well my crazy weeks have unfortunately slowed down. Had one tour on saturday... waiting for a call from another place that could be BIG money, but have to wait for them to decide whether or not they can afford it. It would be SUCH a great job! It would be dealing with one of the biggest realestate agencies in Sonora. So I could probably be looking at lots of repeat business, I hope!! So I've been keeping my fingers crossed that they call back.

Bayvin has really been on a princess kick. Always telling us, "No! call me princess!" either that or "call me horsie!" I wish she'd act more like Cinderella or Snow White, but unfortunately she's not that kind of princess.

So I'm sure everyone's seen StarWars, my in laws have seen it twice. I actually have no real interest in seeing it, I just know I'll have to. Grif wants to make it into a big party, watch the first two then go see the movie. One movie I can't wait for is Mr and Mrs Smith... Brad Pitt... Angelina Jolie.... how can it NOT be good!! I watched the movie Ella Enchanted, it was actually a lot better than I thought it would be, it was really cute and funny. There was one song in the movie that I can't seem to stop listening too now. "Somebody to Love", it was a Queen remake.. I actually like the movie's version better. I think I just like a chick singing better than Freddy Mercury, but their version is definitely good. I got Troy, through netflix, but I couldn't seem to get myself to sit down and watch it for 3 hours... its a long time... I'll have to try to get it again, but right now I have Elektra and Flight of the Phoenix, I'm hoping I'll like them, but I don't think I'll get time to watch them today, which of course will make Grif upset, but tonight is the 2 HOUR season finale of One Tree Hill! I bet they don't have a third season coming up... bet that's yet another show I've killed cause I like it.

things...

So been thinkin about getting a kitten. Mostly cause there were these cute kids at walmart giving away their kittens and they were part siamese, but one was all white... might not have stayed that way, but it was so cute!! By the time I convinced Grif... they were gone... Bayvin was so disappointed... kept saying "i wanted a kitty but they were all gone".... the "they were all gone" is so heart breaking.... so I looked into getting on from the pound right. Well I was thinking it would be like 40 bucks or so to get a kitten, 20 bucks for shots and bout 20 bucks for supplies to start. Well the pound they wanted 55 bucks just for the kitten, which included first shots, microchip, and paying to get them spayed or neutered before they even could be!!! I don't really understand the microchip, i really want to be able to choose that, cause if the cat dies right away from whatever, still paid for microchip... plus don't want to have to pay for spay/neuter til I have to, ya know... don't want to have to spend that much right away. though thinking bout it, probably trying to find a black cat would be best, that way maybe Nox would see it as a puppy cause she's all black? maybe? hehe That's the biggest concern with getting a kitten, making sure the dog doesn't eat the kitten.

Like father like daughter... hee hee


Yummy!


So cute! Geek in the making!

money money money!!

Well been pretty busy here. It was mother's day on sunday and I had a job that I went and did on saturday, been doing these forrent.com tours, awesome cause its all profit and since its commercial, its well paid! Yay! I really really hope to get more of those. I've done 2 now and have to schedule the 3rd. PLUS Wednesday I have a residential virtual tour to do! Which is great cause then I'm getting my real business out there, in hopes to get more.

Bayvin is doing good, has an obsession with gum though, always wants gum. Which isn't that bad, I only have trident, sugar free and she never swallows it. Amazing, she'll chew it for the longest time too. She's getting to be a little kid too, its pretty funny at times, she's told me "don't worry bout it mom", "leave me alone", "don't touch me", "it'll be ok", and "i saw mickey mouse! but i didn't like him, no". We been watching lots of disney movies and when she sees Tinker Bell she wants to go give her a hug and is very dissapointed when she can't, but then remembers that she saw Tinker Bell "over california, yeah, like this *wooooosh*"(arms out like she's flying)

Its only monday night and I'm getting way too excited for Tuesday night! Veronica Mars!! Season Finale!!! Just a wee bit obsessive there, but I can't help it, they sucked me in, tv is evil! And they have such a big plot going and that'll be the night we get alll the answers!!! Better be or I'll have some people to hunt down.

Grif and I are pretty out of shape, been trying to go back to the gym... its hard, Bayvin was sick for a week so we couldn't go, then i was sick for over 2 weeks and then we went to Disneyland... so its been over a month since we were going regularly. We used to work out for bout an hour, today is was more like a half hour.

Disneyland Update

Alright here we go, this is the important stuff.
We rode "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad" twice, probably would have been 4 times, but when we went back on Wednesday the thing was closed!! We were all bummed, Bayvin really liked it.
We did however ride on "Soarin' Over California" 4 times, it was Bayvin's favorite.
Some of the stuff was pretty rediculous, we had to stand in line for like 20-30 minutes for a 30 second ride, and that's no joke! Though while Grandma, Grandpa and Dad stood in line for "California Screamin'", Bayvin and I rode Tritan's Carousel about 4 or 5 times. It was cool, there was no line and we actually didn't have to get off. After each day we were SOOOO tired, my legs hurt so bad I had to crawl between rooms. Bayvin got to see some characters but not all... those lines took forever too... but the characters that could talk, talked for a long time which was very neat. Bayvin saw, Ariel, Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Jesse and Sherrif Woody, and Snow White. She got a glimpse of Sully, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Buzz Lightyear, Cinderella and Aurora but we didn't actually stand for those ones. Maybe next time she goes back. Here is what you have all been waiting for, the pictures!

Disneyland!!!!

We're back!!! We had lots of fun for sure. Those our legs were bout buckling on all of us after each day. It sure is a LOT of walking. Still haven't unpacked or done laundry and I have lots of TV to catch up on! So won't update much here now but I will later when I get some time and I'll definitely post pictures.

more pics of Bayvin

I'm always getting requests for more pictures of Bayvin... How come none for me? huh huh?!

Anyway, here are a couple.

Oh! And our new washer and dryer are working wonderfully!!! Its so nice to have new appliances.

7 days til Disneyland!! I'm sure i'll have a HUGE update then, with lots and lots of pictures!!

So...

I got my nails done... love having them done. Plus I'm doing a website for the lady that does them, it'll be really nice!

Disneyland - 8 days

On the whole internet DJ thing I've been doing for the game I play, now doing it for two radio stations... well will be anyway! Soon as I get over this damn cold... I still sound really bad.

Seems like Bayvin might be getting sick YET again, running nose and watery eyes... poor girl, I'm hoping it just might be allergies or something.

New Washer and Dryer

on friday night our washer broke.. it was over 20 years old and our dryer was at least 15... so we we're forced to make the decision to get a new set. Its guilty pleasure, cause I don't want to have the expensive of paying off a new washer and dryer, but then again I so want to have a new set. They should be here in a couple of hours. I can't wait!!

On other news. I did a tour of a piece of property on saturday. Beautiful 40 acres near Columbia. Its just waaaay out there. The road was rough but the drive was beautiful!
Here's some of the scenery:

Yes I got it!!

I got my jewelry last week... totally forgot to mention that, its sooo neat! I'm really lucky too, the guy isn't selling the lots like that anymore and they're going for more, but they're even less jewelry, its like 10 necklaces going for 80 bucks instead of 10 necklaces and 20 pairs of earrings... so I definitely lucked out! Though one of the pairs of earrings. They're shells, like raw shells and they're colored this orange color, not sure what to do with them, i like them, but they STINK.. like they were never cleaned... or the dye really smells... but if I spray it with febreeze or soething i think the dye might come off... so not quite sure what to do with them. The stones in each necklace though are just amazing. I'll post pictures sometime I'm sure hehe

feeling a bit better...

Well I'm still sick, but I went to the doc yesterday. They gave me cough medicine that I was told I couldn't drive on... whatever, I only feel slightly tingley and definitely not drowsy or dizzy, I guess I didn't get the good good stuff. hehehe :) But the good part is i'm feeling slightly better, but I still can't talk well. Which of course means I can't yell at Bayvin, so she's got it good for a couple days. Good news is I have 2 jobs... one to do on saturday and one to do next thursday, which means money money money! Just in time for Disneyland! Speaking of which, just got the tickets yesterday! And only 2 1/2 weeks til we leave! Bayvin is getting really excited.

I hate being sick....

Both Bayvin and I are sick. It really sucks, cause I need rest but I also have to take care of her. She sounds like she's coughing up a lung, its horrible, seems to be able to sleep through the night with the cough medicine, but wakes up horrible! I don't really have a cough, its just mostly in my head. I've been trying this Zicam stuff... hope hope hope it works! What's bad too is that when I'm sick I can't go the gym and neither can Bayvin when she is... so I lose out on that. We've just been getting sick way too often!
