The Fruth about the Elk... and the Ram's too!

So I would just like to set the record straight. When you are driving in New Mexico and Arizona there are signs for Elk... for like 60 miles! Now if you saw signs for Elk for a good portion of your trip - wouldn't you think the chance of seeing one would be HIGH?!?!?! Well I have something to tell you all.

THERE ARE NO ELK!!!

The FRUTH :) is that the Elk are no more... The Mothman has come and eaten them all up and he even took the time to get the ram's up near the Hoover Dam too.
Another thing - WHAT ARE RAMS DOING NEAR THE HOOVER DAM? Does anyone know how freaking big that thing is?!?!?! It is HUGE. You know - come to think of it I think the rams all fell into the dam. Yea... that's it! :)

Anyway I am in California now. We arrived yesterday after a very fun evening in Las Vegas.
That's another post.... :) to come

God Bless America!

What a beautiful country we have. Most people just take it for granted - but I am trying hard not to. We have had a very successful day today... from Arkansas... TOAD SUCK PARK none the less... to Santa Rosa New Mexico - we're flying. So I will put a few pictures up and leave it at that. I miss you all and keep checkin out out blogs - we will post more in the future.

Fat... not PHAT.... ness

I am honestly sick of watching people at work. It makes me want to diet. Today I was sitting at lunch with all of the kids and one of my not-so-slim co-workers breaks out with this huge lunch. I mean - I could have had half and been stuffed! What is up with people and these unhealthy habits? My other co-worker always tries to shove food down my face and if I say "no thanks..." She responds with "c'mon - you can stand to gain a few pounds"... YEA if I want to become FAT LIKE YOU!!?!?!?!? Seriously - always bringing me cookies and pie and cake - it's just tooooo much. It bothers me when it gets pushed onto me. I don't think I'm a toothpick - I happen to be the size I am because I watch what I eat... and I don't mean watch it go in my mouth. The worst part - summer is upon us and all of my co-workers will be wearing thinner clothing and it will make me want to vomit. UGH I can't stand it! I am honestly to the point where I want to tell people to stop making themselves fatter... it's disgusting! Last time I checked a 200 lb woman is not sexy or hot.... just my friendly opinion though :)

On the pod....

So for all of you iPodder's out there I have some nifty information for you all. So if you have a file that is on your iPod but NOT on your library within iTunes - you can not simply drag the file from your iPod directly into your library and then have it back on your computer's hard drive... I guess Mac had to prevent that from happening so people wouldn't go and take their iPods to other people's computer and just drag and drop the files into another computer - therefore creating a copy. BUT there is a second way.... if you go into My computer (pc users, that is) and click on the iPod... then within Tools click on the box that allows you to view hidden files... then a folder will appear and that has all of your music. you can drag those into your computer and into your library. the ONLY problem with that is that each file is not named by song or artist - but by some arbitrary method with four letters. i.e. AFZY. So you can't just go find the one song you wanted as easily - but it CAN be done :)
There may be an even easier way but this way works for me :)

That's it for now.. how's everyone's weekend going? BEAUTIFUL - i say! :)

BORDOM at it's finest..

You know you're bored at work when.... you're sitting at the computer on-line and you're not supposed to be and you're blogging.
Today is way too slow for me. I'm so ready for my vacation it isn't funny.

I made a slideshow of Marisa's visit...

Marisa has come and gone.... what a nice vacation :)

Marisa arrived in Buffalo on Wednesday afternoon and I just dropped her off at the beautiful hour of 6:50AM.... EEK! I'm actually so freakin awake - it's very amazing. I am NEVER this awake at 8:30 in the morning - especially after only getting a 4 hour nap. It was well worth it. Thanks to everyone for coming out on Saturday night. Too bad Marisa and I could only make it until 1am. I felt fine and then all of a sudden it hit me - I was far past my limit and even though the bartenders must have given me tons of water ... i remember at least 3 glasses I downed... it wasn't enough - or it was just too late. Anyway, Marisa had a great time and thanks to everyone for making sure she got the true "Rochester" experience... she even finished most of her garbage plate and I had half!?!?!?!?! Damn girl!

Oh Mr. Sun... Sun.... Mr. Golden Sun...... PLEASE SHINE DOWN ON ME!!!!!!!!!!

:) Alright that might be a little cheesey and very 4-year old-ish but I don't give a damn :)

I loved yesterday.. every single freaking moment of it! Well .... I should remove the whole work portion of it... but besides that I loved it. It hit about 80 at one point yesterday!! Today isn't too cold either :) I'm not complaining. The weather better be good when Marisa gets here. There's SO much to show her. anyways... hope everyone's having a great weekend.

Life :)

So I thought I'd post a picture of my handsome husband... I love both of these pictures. Things are going alright here. The spring-like weather is HERE! I'm SO excited that the trees will soon be filled with leaves again. The warmth that I felt today was so reassuring that winter is out and spring is IN! I miss warm weather and it's just around the bend... this Friday is supposed to be about 60!!! I think that's freakin' awesome! Marisa comes in one week and I still haven't fine tuned what we're going to do. I'll get on that... before Wednesday :)
That's all. I guess I wanted to just leave a post. I feel like I have been in my own world and not online so much lately. How's life outside the DeChalais apartment?!?!?!?

Craziness in Cornhill!

So this past Friday when sean and I were leaving to go out I saw a car manual (I first thought it was a cd case) and just kinda looked at it and walked on to Sean's car. When we got home that night I went to take p-nut out and found all these cd's and papers outside where I normally take her. I picked them up and took them all inside. I found this time sheet for this guy that works at the ARC of Monroe. I had a feeling that it was his stuff and that he'd had his car broken into. So I emailed some HR person at the ARC and it turns out that this guy DID get his car broken into. Once he gets ahold of me I will give him the few cd's that I have and his car's manual. Loads more got stolen than this but at least he got SOME of it back. How sad is it that some person did this? It brings back all the memories I have of when this happened to Sean. This is the 3rd time I've known of someone's car getting broken into since we moved into this lovely "diverse" neighborhood. Why do these people do this? What makes them think that it is okay to take someone's personal belongings?!?!!? WHY?!?! It just seems so sad that this keeps happening. Know what I say? NO ONE SHOULD LIVE IN THIS SHITTY PART OF THE CITY! That's what I say. I'm very bitter at all of the ghetto trash that I see on the streets. Both the white and black trash of this city make me sick. They walk across the street wherever they want, walking slow - I mind you... and then when they are in MY way because they're not on a cross walk and I don't stop for them ... (I just slow down so I don't hurt them) then I am the bad guy here. Manners people.... MANNERS. I was taught them a long time ago and I wish other people would learn them. Imagine what a beautiful world this place would be if we all had better manners (me included)! Sorry ... I am just pissed off that this has happened again. This is why every day I just take everything out of my car. There is nothing of value in there... Even my cd face to my player gets taken out every time I am parked at home. How great is it that I feel SO SAFE in my own neighborhood. It's bull.

Doh!

Well I hope someone out there is experience a wonderful Monday. Today was long and stressful at work - but the kids were adorable and made it a little better. The one little guy who used to bite me keeps hugging me now and I'd rather that be his way of showing affection... :)
So today is quite grey and a little foggy too - I got home and hadn't heard lightning since I left for work and as soon as I got outside with p-nut the thunder started again - I hope she's not afraid of going outside again - we went through that already and that was NOT fun.
I hope everyone enjoys this lovely picture of Homer Simpson! It'll put a smile on everyone's fact that sees it!

Think Pink!

So my old template I guess had some work to be done on it and failed me so I've given up for now and went with the boring template. I thought I'd be daring and unlike my normal self and go with pink. I figured I could use a little girlying up :)
hope everyone had a great weekend! Check out Sean's site to see the awesome pictures of the fog we saw in Jamestown. When my dad e-mails me the pictures from this weekend I'll post a few. Alex is getting BIG!
Christine

Happy Friday to ME! :) (and you too!)

Hello world! I am SO happy that today is Friday. I just wanted everyone to know that. I hope everyone has an awesome weekend- wherever you may be :)

Gretta's a little sick

So for all of the people out there who do not know Gretta, she's my car :) I know it's an old lady name but I like it and I guess it just fits my car...
Gretta had some troubles today and I had to have her taken to the doc. Prognosis looks good. :) I was on my way to my last house for a meeting and my brakes started to feel odd. I gave Sean a call and let him know something was weird and that I might need help later - but didn't really think that I WOULD need help. (better to be safe than sorry...) So after my meeting I got in my car and the Emergency brake light was still on even though the brake was NOT on... I called my dad and he seemed to think the light on the dashboard was just malfuntioning. A minute or two after I got off the phone with my dad the brakes went on my car. I was lucky there was no traffic.. I was on Dewey ave and it was 4:30.... not a quiet street. So I was driving slow to begin with and happened to be near Will's friend's house so I went there and that's the end of the story.... for now.
If anyone wants to send get well cards to Gretta send them to me or to Farrel's Garage :) Hopefully they'll fix the brake line, which we suspect is why the hydrolics went and I couldn't brake, and then she'll be ready to go.
Keep her in your prayers, please :)

Christine

p.s. no pity cards for Gretta... she needs no sympathy - just to be cheered up :)

Blog off, Blog on!

Hi all! So I guess I haven't posted in a LONG time... almost a month. I guess since the weather turned bitter cold I've been in blog-hybernation. It's been nice but I guess I should come out and say I'm sorry for depriving you all with my wonderful pictures and stories. :P

Nothing too pressing going on. I learned the line dance to Will Smith's "Wild Wild West" last Tuesday and it was pretty exciting. Now will I remember it when we go next? - and that's IF they play it ;)


I think that's all of the fun things going on that I can think of - oh yea --- P-nut is sick still... I have to feed her a special diet :( I hope to God that she gets better soon. I had to bathe her in the shower today because she had crap all over her body. Disgusting!

Hope all is well with everyone :)
