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!

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 :)

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 :)
