Long over due, again

I am SO bad at this! Let see, I got all my new toys, new background stand, lens, lots of props including a couple cute baby hats! I'm even getting the spare room together for my studio! I'm so excited! I'm going to have a grand opening, with big savings! So if anyone wants to be invited, let me know! I'm starting to really book up for March and April! And I'm THRILLED! I took some AMAZING pictures during the snow storm of a client who turned into a friend! I will post some so everyone can see!

Logan went back to school FINALLY! He got 2 awards from school when they finally went back! The snow is MELTING! Always a good thing :) I need my parking spaces for my birthday party here on March 6th! SO EXCITED about that!

I have been having horrible pain in my neck, so I am on light duty for a couple weeks! Hope it's nothing! I go back to the doctor this Thursday for more blood work! Story of my life! Although I haven't had it much in the last 4 months. Keep your fingers crossed it's nothing :) Maybe I pulled something with all the snow!

I got out of the house with some friends! Having a great time with my old friends again! It's really nice to have people to do stuff with! I haven't really had that since this past fall and miss getting together with friends!

But I better get done this so I can go get Logan off of xbox :)

SNOWMAGEDDON

OK So I'm behind, AGAIN! Gonna try to post fast about EVERYTHING...

There is just one word to sum up the past week....SNOW! And lots of it! I'm guessing we got 22 inches. We been hit by 2 BIG snow storms so far, one on December 20 and then on this past weekend. And we are getting another one tonight into tomorrow that could being up another 12 to 24 inches of snow. Same storm story, where it's coming from, merging with another storm. Since we had so much snow, I haven't had time to take too m any pictures of Logan playing so I'm sorta happy we are getting another one. But hope it's the last. Kids are running out of school days for weather make up and I'm ready for flip flops!

Good news is, I think we got the house all ready to go. Paid our first new lowered monthly payment. FINALLY!!! Logan got his report card and it was good. His spelling came up, wonder if that has anything to do with him doing the LIPS program again? I think so, one reason I fought for him to have it again.

We paid for our nascar tickets and we are happy to be sitting in the section we like for both races! I so cannot wait for nascar. The Shootout was Saturday night, but we missed it. We had a snow storm and was without cable in net, errr! So I ended up going out to shovel at like 8 pm!

My good friends from high school came up to see me last Thursday and we had SO much fun talking, laughing and just being silly! I've seen Kim but haven't seen Kelly! Forgot how fun it was to be around her! Hope to be able to keep up seeing them both of them. I have so missed my friends at mervo, well the ones I still talk to now. Hopefully if the kids have school this Friday, I'm going to meet her at the Bel Air Target :)



Bill ordered me a new lens for Valentine's Day! And I am soo excited! It's a EF 50mm f/1.8 II with a Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter. It's been shipped already too! Can't wait to try it out! I'm also getting a few other things and since my godfather left, going to turn his room into a studio I think.

Well, I better get off here. I want to try to get all the clothes done before this storm in case we lose power! Really want to clean my floors but I guess I should wait until this weekend!

Cleaning and even more cleaning

With Logan staying home yeturday because of the ear infections, I really didn't get to do what I wanted to. I wanted to start taken down my Christmas stuff and get the spare bedroom together. I can't seem to part with my tree for some reason this year. The only room I can say for now is 100% clean is the kitchen. His room is a MESS! His room is huge, 15 by 20. It's the whole front of the house and the biggest room in the house. And yes, some of it's mine. I do have my computer desk in there for him to use for homeworkd on the PC/laptop. He has basically claimed the flat screen TV so that's in there also. But on his side of the room, all you see is army men, legos, tanks, trucks, and more army stuff such as buildings, etc. I couldn't even walk to make his bed! LOL So today is clean up what I can so tomorrow I can get into his closet to put away his Christmas stuff that is still under the tree.

His got a pretty good deal of stuff this year, but nothing like he would have if I was still working. The things he got the most use out of so far is his lego's and of course his XBox. He spent 3 days on the XBox! LOL I like it, he can get on there and play other people. So far he has 2 friends, 1 is his cousin on his dad side. He's into this one game called Battlefield where you wear a headset to talk to other people. Well, he's the scout and is telling people where to go. So at any given time you can walk into my house and hear him yelling, "ALL TANKS REPORT TO THE (PLACE)!" LOL It's so funny! I'm going to try to vidoe tape it so everyone can see!

Logan has one of his bestfriends birthday parties this Saturday. They are taking the kids to Chuck E Cheese in Bel Air. And I'm so nervous. His friend has been out with us now and this is Logan's first time going with them. I really don't know them so it's hard for me to say yes. plus, Logan was there when they asked and he was all excited how could I have said no. And the boy is one of his bestfriends! But I guess I need to start someplace. I just hope they are not out too late.

While Logan's at his friends party Brigitte & her boyfriend are coming up and we are going to play 500 Rummy! And order some pizza! Can't wait! Other then that, thats all thats going on this week pretty much!

PS I heard they are calling for some snow this weekend. Ahhh...

It's Benn Awhile...

5 months to be exact! WOW! I don't think I even know where to start. And most would be me ranting so I'm not gonna try! LOL! Christmas was OK. Low key, but just didn't feel like the holidays. I swear I have the worlds worst family. I talk to my mom, but other then that no one calls me. My grandmother has always treated me different, then why my cousin had her baby I seen how she was with Logan, just like she was with me so I haven't talked to her on a regular basis in like 5 years. Then my aunt and uncle are God sent, they do nothing wrong yet both have. My aunt, well she's just trash, my uncle never did right by my grandparents. And then of course the sperm donor hasn't had nothing to do with me since birth and neither has his family. I talk to my one Aunt on his side, but I really think I have talked to her more then my sperm donor. Yes, I have a issue calling him a father since clearly he's never been one! LOL Then I think about Logan and him not having no family as he grows up and it kinda makes me sad. I mean after Bill and I are gone, honestly he will have no one. And I had a older friend at my old work who I got the talking to about that and seen how upset she was about it. Makes ya really think and put things into perspective. Aside from my real family, my bestfreind is really like my sister. And my second bestfriend I have know her and her family since high school and I always feel right at home with them. I have seen both of their families more then I have my own! Hell, I don't even get invited when they do have family gatherings! LOL But ok, I'm ranting...So next year, I'm staying home, having a open house. If people come good, but if they don't, that's fine with me too. That way we can invite our close friends too!

Logan's doing OK in school. Having issue's with spelling but other then that, it's good. He's in chess, band, chorus, and the K Kids. He just loves school. Hope it stays that way once he goes tot he middle school next year. How scary. FOR ME! LOL

Talking about Logan, he's currently home. Sick with double ear infections. The ones is really bad the doctor said. And last night was so bad. The worse since he was like 4 years old. So they gave him pain medicine also. So I'm keeping him home tomorrow also just to be on the safe side.

NASCAR comes back on next month. I so can't wait to have something to look forward to each week. I'm so wanting to have a Daytona Party but wouldn't know who to invite since no one I know likes NASCAR! Sigh, wish my friend April from online lived closer! I think we would have a good time :)

As for me, I'm doing good. Off all my meds and as of October I'm cancer free! I'm feeling a little better but still don't have my energy back that I used to have. And really hope it comes back soon.

I have taken some cute pictures over the last month that I wanted to share. Some of Logan of course. We had a big snow storm so I got a couple cute ones of him near the old train station in the snow! Then some of my friend's lil girl who is just totally adorable!

Picture Picture Everywhere !

OK So I'm really behind, so this is going to go fast, LOL

Friday/Saturday Bathroom:
Done, blue, my walls are way uneven! LOL


4th of July: Fun with Friends :)
We spent time with my sis (BFF) Jennie and her hubby n of course my other favorite kid, my Cody boy! If I was talking, I could hear Logan now saying NO HE'S MY BEST FRIEND :) LOL Love those boys! We did dinne, fireworks and the very long line for Jennie's funnel cake! Then back to my house again. But still had a good time, always do. Jennie managed to throw her phone away, by accident of course. Thank goodness it was on top in the trash can when she went back the next day, LOL







Monday Pictures with a friend:

This was the only good one I really got!


Got to see baby dear, very exciting!

Wednesday: Fort Delaware on Peapatch Island then over to Fort Mott in Jersey :)
Logan and I went to Fort Delaware, it's become a yearly thing when I have off during 4th of July week. The sky that day was so clear, blue and the clouds were so perfect and puffy, it was just the perfect day to be outside! Hot but not to the point that you couldn't stand it. I never noticed the pretty red brick that was in the tunnels at Forst Delaware. I could h ave spent hours there taking portraits. But someone wasn't in the mood. The red is just bright and rich, great for pictures!


And were off to Fort Delaware & Mott!


Logan :)


My Logie Bear took this :) Not too bad :)


Swamp :) LOL


HELP ! ! ! LOL


I took a bunch of these, just love how it looks! Gonna be even better when I get the chance to edit it :)


The pretty blue sky and clouds

From Thursday on, it was rest time. I wasn't feeling too well, so we stayed around the house, watched tv, some movies and Logan played outside. I did get to Fair Hill for some pictures and will post them tomorrow :) I'm off to lay in bed with Logan and watch some tv :)

It's Officialy BLUE

My bathroom that is. I got paint and did my bathroom. It's a lil bit bluer then I wanted but I like it. My frog theme will go well with it. I will have to take pictures once it's all done, still need to go the walls up near the ceiling. My next project is my godfather's bathroom. Think I'm going to go with a light color, I just need something on the wall that is washable because he can't seem to hit the hole and will not sit down. Men...

I hope everyone is having a good 4th. We are having some people over, so excited! Then we are going to the fire works in Elkton. Never been so it's all new to me. Guess ya have to park and walk. Should be interesting! LOL

I'm also redoing my living room picture's. I have been taking so many myself now, that I have a lot that I want to put up. So Wednesday I got some more frames, Thursday night I took down the ones I had up and got the holes closed up and painted,and now I need to figure out a pattern and put them back up. I'm planning on doing some gardening tomorrow night along with cleaning my car inside and out! So that Monday and Tuesday I can sit around and not do a darn thing :) We have off for a week, getting paid still too. Love not having to work :) Do have doctor appointments lined up tho for those two days. Then Wednesday we are going to Fort DE and Mott, Thursday were going to Dover and then Friday to Cape Henolopen. So still a busy week. Well I better get off of here and see if I can't find my battery pack for my camera!

NO RAIN ALLOWED!

OK, woke up a little bit ago and seen the ground wet so I went to look at the national Doppler to see what's coming our way. There is only a small line of rain out near western Maryland, so I'm thinking about right after lunch it should be our way. After that NOTHING! And I hope it stays that way with no pop up storms. I'm up dressed and so ready to go! And we have a hour yet before we are suppose to leave but I'm thinking of leaving sooner to beat some of the beach and work traffic. I've been waiting for this weekend since last September and now it's here! Can't believe it! SO ready!!!

Today's also an exciting day for my friend Vicky, she's buying her first house and I'm so happier for her! She needs a new fresh state and this is the perfect way! Can't wait to go over and see her new place next week :)

Anyway, I'm off to DOVER...

Something to look forward to!

Well, it's DONE! This past Tuesday I ordered my 2010 Camaro! Totally excited! It's gonna be black with black interior! It's not going to be at the dealer until the end of September tot he beginning of October, so until then I'm saving everything I can and trying to pay down the Avenger too! My goal is to have $2000 to put down, but I'm hoping to save more. I plan on getting the windows tinted, a pink racing strip and then the black wheels. But I'm totally excited :)

Went to the movies today with my friend Erika to see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, was really good and funny. Even tho they rated it really bad. We thought it was cute and funny. Now were sitting here watching the NASCAR All Start Race! Kahne, Stewart, Biffle and Burton were all in because they won and then Jamie McMurray got second in the showdown to be in. Was SO excited!! Got Dover in TWO WEEKS! And I'm so looking forward to getting to that weekend and then hoping it goes slow and we have good weather!

But OK, I'm off to watch the race :)

Our Easter Weekend, lil late!

Noticed it's been a long time since I posted after a friend emailed me asking how things were. Easter was ok. Took Logan to Gettysburg and we had a FANTASTIC time! But there is so much to cover that we need to go back up. It's only about a hour and half away from my mom. And Very easy to get to! We also got to go to the Maryland Science Center and Imax. Very cool! Planning on going back up when they have the new movie Night at the Museum! Then on Sunday we came home. Monday we went to a park and 2 covered bridges in Delaware and Logan picked up poison ivy there. Then it was back to work and school, sigh.

I had girls night at my house and had a BLAST! Even tho we didn't last as long as we wanted LOL. I have tons of pictures of my good friend Vicky who was just the life of the party! Hysterical! Then we took a bunch of silly pictures at work too! Love my friends!

Baseball is going great. Logan's doing a lot better this year. Hitting really well. Now I just wish he could catch that good too.

Today is Cody's birthday party, his birthday was last Friday. So were headed to his house in a little bit. Then it's home to spend time with Logan and rest. Been another busy weekend!

Happy Spring

Logan & I at Fair Hill

WOW, so it's been a long time since I have updated. Sorry! Just haven't been in the "mood" to! Now lets see if I know were to start!

IT'S SPRING! But darn it don't feel like it! It was warm and then for the first day of spring it had to be cold! Go figure! Really looking forward to the warm weather, flowers and lots of blue sky! And of course tons of thunder storms!

Logan got a good mid term report! He's getting ALL A's and B's, WHOO HOO! He's started baseball although were having issue's with what team he should be on. He's found a new friend named Jeffery who comes over often. I'm so glad cause there really is no one here for him to play with since Brandon and Calvin left. We still talk to each of them but it was just really hard on Logan when both moved away a year apart. Calvin's mom gave us a plant that I keep in my kitchen and sometimes I'm bad at watering it. So Logan will remind me to water "Calvin" LOL. He was home 3 days this week with a sinus infection. Now I'm feeling the same way! My head feels like its gonna explode!

I've just finished my 7th chemo round. Got 2 more that I know of left. I will find out more once I go this Wednesday to get the measurement done :) Had my liver tested and it came back ok! I'm tired most of the time with no energy to much but rest and sleep when I get home.

Saturdays and Sundays are taking up by taking pictures! I got a new camera and I'm totally in awe with it! I have got some AMAZING shots that I plan on sharing!!! I've made a list of all the places I want to visit! So far I have done 3 of 12, but that's only for Cecil County! I have other lists for DE, Harford, and Baltimore! There is a woman at work with the same camera as I just got who's been very helpful and we plan on going on 'photo shoots' together! All excited :)

With Easter coming I've made plans with my favorite girlfriends to go to the Bunny Train at the Wilmington and Western Railroad. Haven't told Logan, cause I know he will be excited and want to talk about going 24/7. And then we are going to my moms for a few days for Easter and hopefully taking Logan to Gettysburg! He's been doing LOTS of reading about the Civil War. If that boy isn't going to be a engineer he will be a history teacher! LOL

Celebrated my 32nd birthday on the 4th! Feel old now! Keep telling everyone I"m counting backwards, so I'm really only 28! LOL Went out with the girls last night and we had a BLAST! I really love my friends! I'm happy to say I FINALLY have a 'GOOD" group of best/close friends! My best friend Jennie is buying a house and had some set backs, so I'm hoping she gets it all worked out so she's not all stressed! Vicky's also looking around to buy a house and I'm so excited for her. Dawn had her third child on Feb 27th, one month after my friend Kathy had her son Jaxon! And let me tell ya, a month makes a difference! LOL Kathy's baby is so much bigger and heaver! Both are adorable! Tammy's little girl Lucy is getting bigger and bigger! She's going on 8 months the end of March. Just wish I got to see her in person more rather then pictures! Haven't seen my mervo friends in awhile so hopefully when I go to my moms for Easter I can see some of them!

Before we know it...

Logan's big 10th Birthday will be here... Not sure what we are doing yet either! I need to start working on it! By now I've always had it planned! LOL He wants it on a caboose but I gotta see if I can afford that. And then it's who to invite with only being able to have 20 people including adults!

NASCAR will be here... As of today we have 68 days to go! Logan and I are making the trip alone for the spring race! My mom got the tickets for Logan and I for his birthday :)

WILDWOOD will be here... 92 days and counting!

New scap pages :)

Trying to figure out how to get the lion on LOL



FINISHED!

Baby Baby!

Today I'm going shopping for my friend Dawn's baby shower gift and party stuff! She don't have too much so I can get whatever I want! WHOO HOO. Her shower is this Friday so I also gotta get the plates and stuff for the party! I'm attempting to make a diaper cake!

My friend Kathy came into work with her baby Jaxson yesturday and he's so adorable! I love babies! I got to hold him for a little while she was there! Makes me want another one! HA NOT!

Last night I got to see my best friend Jennie's new house. It's a nice big house but my goodness does it need work! And I can't wait to help! She needs to paint, fix 2 windows and the sliding door, patch up holes in the wall, replace carpet, put down hard wood floors and some more stuff! So she will be a busy girl!

NASCAR starts tonight and I couldn't be happier! Sunday's been be spend in front of the telly and on the pc for my scanner! There have been a TON of changes! I still have to get ticket's for May 29th. Were going to prectice, quilifing and the truck race. Something new! Then my mom is getting Logan tickets for his birthday! Him and I will be going by ourselfs for the first time! Should be interesting :) I'm still rooting for Kasey Kahne and Jamie McMurray. Logan's rooting for Greg Biffle. He's still really upset about the whole Home Depot and Tony Stewart parting ways.

It's really been a weird week. Were 2 hours late one day then had surprise snow over night and were off Thursday! Kids were suppose tog et there report cards this past Monday but they moved it by a week. So when Logan told me last night he got his report card I was surprised! He did VERY good!I"m so proud!! So it looks like I'll have to get him a little something!

13 Days and counting...

Again the weekend passed by too fast! I'm sitting here just finishing up eating a bowl of Lucky Charms! It's been a fun week, we had a couple days off for snow/ice, my godfather's eye surgery went good and I've connected with some old friends online and we been sharing pictures! It's been exciting talking to everyone again! Can't wait til we al get together :)

Other then that, I've just been working, cleaning, and sleeping as always! I'm working on getting our house refinanced and if it works, we should be saving around $1200 so I'm totally excited!


NASCAR starts in just 13 days, then I'll be glued to the TV every Friday and Sunday! Can't wait!! They are working on the track down at Dover. Adding a SAFER wall for pit road along with a pit for the 43rd car so they don't have to share. We are going Friday May 29th for practice, qualifying and the truck race. Then My mom is getting Logan and I tickets for his birthday for Sunday! Then I got tickets for the fall race also! WHOO HOO! Totally excited! Our Lowe's trip is on hold til next year cause of my health, but I can deal with that. For now :)

Where did the weekend go?

Yawn! I had a nice weekend. Sorry to see it go by so fast. Stinks! Were sitting here watching Ocean Force. Logan's new addiction on truTV. It's also the channel that Speeders (Logan) and Intervention (Me) that we like to watch. We had a pretty good weekend. Friday night I didn't do too much. Took my godfather to get his eye drops for his surgery on Tuesday and just hung around the house. Saturday we had a great time at Rocks State Park. Took some really great pictures! I'm really wanting to get a professional camera but have to see how that goes. Saturday night I went to a quarter auction with Erika, Jean and Bibbis. It was different and even thou I didn't win anything I had a great time.



I have did a lot of searching and found the next tattoo that I want. It's not the traditional Celtic Knot but I love it. I wanna get Logan's name under it. But I also want to get my Hershey kiss updated. It's really light and the pink the guy put around it instead of in it, makes it look infected. I really like the idea, just not how it turned out. So I will be going to a different place this time around. But that is the is the pic of what I want.



While online I came across a pretty necklace that I loved. Little to my surprise it was from Tiffany Co. and $150. But I still like it and want it. So hopefully I will be able to get it.

Thank You!

Hi everyone, got tons of emails asking me how I am. I promise to post something soon about what's going on! I been super down in the dumps but so far, have had a really good week. I'm been pretty much keeping to myself, with some upsetting moments about friends. But I'm blessed to have the friends that I do. I'm starting to realize the people in my life who really care about me and who want to be here for me. And it's the people I least expected! I' learned that because people do things you don't agree with, things that could make them a bad person, don't mean that they can be a GOOD friend. I'm truly blessed to have Jennie and all my work friends who are like my extended family and are so totally there for me when my other friends aren't! Tonight was the crab feast for work and I had such a good time hanging out with my girlfriends! We haven't been able to all get together as a group and do something and it was nice to see everyone and have fun! We are planning a girls night out in October and I'm super excited :) Just hope I'm feeling up to it! Well, we have a in service day tomorrow and that means I can sleep in, YAY! Then tomorrow night, I'm off to get my boss lady, Ms. Lynn her birthday cake that Steph and I came up with! Were getting it from coldstone! YUMMY!!!
