Wow!  Shhhhh it's quiet!  I just realized that I would blog more if I had a new keyboard and a comfy chair...what an excuse!  lol So, we sold my son's Jr Dragster last weekend.  It was kind of bittersweet, but he will end up with another one.  He wanted to go to Disneyland with some of the money, so that cheered us all up!  No one can be sad at Mickey's house, and if you can, then you need to be on meds! Of course I had to wear my sparkly ears and my tiara.  Together, they look like 1 piece and everyone asks where I got them...but I don't give away my secret  =)  I get to be the only Princess Minnie there, and that tickles me.  My hubby got on a roller coaster and shocked the daylights out of me.  It wasnt a super skeery one, but he doesn't like drops and dips...but he liked it!  My son talked him in to getting on it, he is too short to ride by himself, and I was fighting a head cold, so I wasnt about to do it. The only down side to the weekend was the 7 hour ri

WOW it's been a while, huh?  W'ell see if I can type with these damn nails without screwing up too badly. It is a love/hate relationship between the nails and I.....Love the way they look, HATE the pain in the ass that they cause.  Being a gearhead Princess, I usually don't grow them out but since we aren't racing right now, what the hell, let them grow and be a gurly girl for a while. This month (August), especally the third week is kind of bizarre for me. I wonder if something celestial happens during a persons life that makes all important things happen during one space in time....My daughter was due to be born on the 20th. She came home from the hospital on the 20th, 7 weeks old already because she was pre mature. My wedding anniversary is the 19th. The day that I got burned working on the race car was the 23rd. All very life changing events! Who knows. All I know is that it makes for an emotional week for me. OMG Maury was on the same channel as Dr Oz, and I forg

     Yesterday, I threw a good ol' fasihioned Princess size HISSY FIT.  his·sy 2 (hĭs'ē)  his·sies Chiefly Southern and South Midland U.S. noun, plural ‑sies. Slang. a fit of anger; temper tantrum. Blame it on being spoiled, blame it on PMS, blame it on boredom, hell, blame it on Obama.  The plain truth of the matter is that I just felt like throwing one, and being me....well, I went right ahead and did it.  All i wanted was the house clean.  Ok, so it was already CLEAN, but you know the messes I'm talking about.       Kid  messes that THEY should clean up but don't random toys laying here and there, stacks of magazines, husband messes of the same sort....and your own mommy junk laying around...the nail polish that it was just too much trouble to carry back to the bathroom even thought you go there 20 times a day, old coupons, and uhoh...I left my shoes out too.       SO, I put my lip out, crossed my arms and had a little fit.  It didn't take much at a

"Two earth quakes and a kajillion after shocks in 2 days and i didn't feel a damn thing. I guess i should consider myself lucky, but dammit, I could have at least felt a little bitty rumble." blog post started by me on January 8, 2010. I got busy doing something else and logged off. Then we have the Haiti disaster and I feel awful for even thinking that, much less putting the thought out there. I'm bitching about not feeling a itty bitty earth quake and those people are fighting to survive after not only feeling the big one, but losing everything that they own. I am going to say that I am ashamed of myself for whining over choosing to leave things behind when we moved....I have the ability to get new things, and I brought what was important with me, family photos, mementos, antiques, my favorite clothing, gifts from my husband that I would never part with, even the clothes that I burned in.....and my husband and children. I am ashamed of whining about missing my fam

Wow, it's been a while!  About 6 weeks, we have left behind Christmas, New Year, and my birthday (I turned 36, YIKES!)  We are coming up on Valentines Day pretty fast, and spring is hopefully just around a corner or two. If not, I give up!  It has been raining for 2 weeks, it stops for a few hours, teases me with a little sun shine and starts right back up again! I was doing so GOOD, walking 2 miles a day taking my boy to school and picking him up, and now the rain, and I have to drive!!  GRRRRR!  I think it's a conspiracy!  I lost 5 pounds in one week and then the rain started.  Well, that was the end of THAT!       I really dreaded my birthday this year.  36 just seems to me like LATE 30's.  Everyone told me that it's not, but it felt like it.  Especally when I look at the fact that my husband is in his EARLY 30's!  He was so funny the other day!  We were getting ready to go somewhere or the other and he came into the bathroom and informed me that he was gettin
