My True Calling...

A few friends of mine coordinated a Tournament of Pop Culture last weekend, and it was so much fun! I have always watched the actual tournament hosted on Vh1, and always thought I could do well on it...now was my chance to see if I could. There were three teams of three people, mine being Electric Mayhem (consisting of Brian, Deb, and myself.) The other two groups were Cobra Kai (Mike, Scott, and Kylee,) and the last group was Donkey Kong (with Jeremy, Hans, and Melody.) Everyone did really well, including Kylee who was only born in 1984. I was really excited and surprised to find that I knew every single music question thrown out there and most of the other questions as well..I think this is my true calling in life..to harbor useless information. HAHA. Anyway, my team won, of course. And we got to take home a tiny trophy and a rubber chicken. Wahoo!! I cant wait until next time!

MY LIFE, UNPLUGGED!

This has been the worst few days EVER! Our AVG anti-virus ran out, and since we didnt have the money to resubscribe..we got a virus!!! We are a very cautious people, never opening emails with forwards (not even from friends), and especially not clicking on anything we dont know what it is..So slowly our system has been crashing..it has effected our downloading (our ability is completely gone now), so we cant even get a free AVG trial to wipe it clean for the moment. We cant do a restore point either. The worst part about all this is that only half of our home videos and pictures are backed up on a disc..leaving the others to be wiped away once jason tears this thing apart and reinstalls everything. Im freaking out about this!! 1.5 years of our families memories will be gone forever...not to mention my mp3's...everything we have saved in our disc drives..im so devastated. Moral of the story..BACK EVERYTHING UP ON DISCS WHILE YOU CAN!! And dont let that spyware and antivirus subscription run out, lest you get the blue screen of death! *weeps into hand*

LITTLE MAN

TODAY WAS ERIC'S FIRST DAY OF 1st GRADE!

I took him to his class today to meet his teacher, show him where to go, etc..since he was unable to do that in august due to the strike. He was very excited to see that this year he gets to sit next to his little girlfriend Marissa (pronounced Mareesa.) What an adorable little girl! I have no idea what race she is but she looks like a darker version of a latino..very pretty! I'm so not ready for my 6 year old to "like" girls....sigh*

check him out tho..what a lady killer, huh?

The $20 store

Ok seriously now..why do they call it the Dollar Store? I never walk out of there spending less then $20! Between the toys I buy for the kids "quiet bag" for church, and art supplies, bunco gifts, cards, etc...ive spent a little more then $1..hahahahahahahaha...Its my kids fave place to shop..thank heavens!

Happy Happy...

Today is my baby girls 2nd birthday! I cant believe how fast the time has flown. I hae to stop and take some refelction now because she is my last one..my baby days are officially over. Im so sad over this, but I'm also excited for this next phase of life that I get to spend with my growing family. Skylar has surprised me since day 1. She was born a few weeks early (and has done things early ever since..) and decided that coming out sunny side up was the way she wanted to greet us. She was so alert and smiley that she behaved like a 1 month old straight away. We also thought we would finally get that brunette child,so I could have one of each! (red head, blonde, and brunette..) But no..she decided she was going to be a beautiful blonde. In her 2 little years of life she has learned how to say her ABC's at warp speed, count to 16, sing every song she hears (including songs off the radio,)in tune and with the correct words, and she has an actual talent in coordination and can beat on the drums with steadiness and in pattern rhythms...daddy is very proud of this! She is my precious girl. Skylar has a deep love for shoes, mickey mouse, Little Einsteins, musical instruments, play hide and seek, cars, climbing anything that will hold still, and popcorn! she insists her nails are painted at all times, and would rather wear a fluffy dress then pants. She may have a boys rough and tumble attitude, but she looks very girly doing it! Happy birthday, punkin!
