I just want to give a shout-out to my old teacher who is checking my blog for the first time...HEY MRS WEBSTER!!! Do you like my Blog?!?!?!?!?!

Okay, not really MY story...

Ok, so I realize it's not really MY story to tell, but this is too good. My friend Becky was really thirsty when she and her sister got out of Wal*Mart. She noticed a squeeze bottle full of what appeared to be some sort of a blue gatoraid...or something...so, thirsty as Becky was, she took a HUGE drink...you know, the kind where you don't really taste what you're drinking...but the aftertaste got the best of her curiousity and she asked Kristy (her sister) what it was and Kristy said "Puke that out! IT's antifreeze!" Needless to say, Becky had to spend the night in the hospital with doctors and nurses thinking she was trying to commit suicide...ok...it's far too much for me to handle...cracks me up everytime I think about it!!

Christmas gifts....

Here are two more bits of Christmas magic I received. I love them both...no, I'm not kidding. I got these two little pieces of magic from my mom and Paul. Notice that the Wayne's World is both 1 and 2 in a set on DVD. IT doesn't get much better than that, folks!

YAY!!!

YAY!!! My Brother and his wife and kids are going to be here in about 3 hours!! I'm so excited! They are the first out-of-town family to visit us since we moved in! I'm so excited, I was even forced to put up my Christmas tree for my neices. There will probably be pictures posted later on...it just takes me forever to get my film developed. Merry Christmas everyone!

One down, two to go!

With one Christmas behind me and two to go, I just wanted to keep you updated on my gifts. So far, I have received this: A handy dandy little carpet cleaning magic made by dirt devil. I got it from my sister-in-law Trish. I also received "Chicken soup for the father and daughter's soul" from my DAD...LOL! Not that I'm not greatful, but where the hell did I put that gift receipt?

YOUR TURN, TESSA!!

Tessa, I updated my blog, now it's time for you to pay a little more attention to yours! p.s. Tell Will hi :)

You asked for it............

This is me at my Grandma's church Christmas deal. I was really excited at this particular moment because I discovered that there were pears in my jello...that's right...pears...in my lime jello! What more can a girl ask for?

I was just thinking...Volume #4

Raise your hand if you think that the scan option on your radio should stay at each song for at least two seconds longer. By the time I figure out that the song on the radio is one I want to stop at, I've already missed it. Then, I finally find the back button to go back to the song that I missed and it's too long gone to ever hope to catch it by the end of the song.

I was just thinking....volume 3

I was just thinking....with the holidays fast approaching....I start missing my friends. A lot of you are impossible to get ahold of. So, I want to reserve this little spot on my blog for you guys to tell me what you're doing for Thanksgiving. I think Amber and I are going to host Thanksgiving for the Petersen family this year. That should be a hoot. I'll post some pictures when I get them...but in the mean time...I'd like to know what you guys are doing for the festive holiday :)

I was just thinking....volume 2

Becky's question "What part of the body are you most like? (You can't say genitals or butt)
In answer to Becky's question, Even though I am a very multi-dementional person, I have put some thought into this, and I think I am most like the shoulder. I'm not all up in your business, but all you have to do is turn slightly and there I am. Plus, I sunburn easily.

I was just thinking........ volume 1

If you want to be the popular one at a party, wait until no one is looking, then kick a burning log out of the fireplace onto the carpet. Then, jump on top of it with your body and yell, "Log o' fire! Log o' fire!" I've never done this, but I think it'd work.

I was just thinking.....

This is my new thing I'm going to start on here. I came to the realization that this blog is starting to turn into a photo album of my neice. Actually, I was in full realization of that when I started the blog, but I was just thinking....that you guys, as readers of my blog, need more meat and potatoes and less dessert. Well, maybe not LESS dessert, but definately more meat and potatoes. I'm sorry I neglected your needs. So I'm starting this new portion of my blog entitled "I was just thinking..." So, if any of you want my opinion on something...let me know and I'll be sure to include it. If no one gives me a topic, I'll make up my own...and I'm not sure you want that...or do you?

Hunter's Christmas Pictures

Ber and I took Hunter to Sears for her Christmas Pictures! Isn't she beautiful? These were taken on November 5, 2005.

I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough

Hunter loves bath time!!
I love this picture of Teri and Hunter.

My Chadron Pals!!!!!!!!!!!! (some of them anyway)

I just put these pictures here because I miss these guys and I can...cause it's my blog. These are a good portion of my friends from Chadron. In here, you will find Tessa Covington, Andy Strand, Aaron Rutt, Amber Peterson, and ASS. If you guys are reading this...call me, I miss you.

Punkie Power!!!!

If you know me at all, you know about Punkie. She's a soft-coated wheaten terrier mixed with a cairn terrier. Her haircut was Ber's idea. It's grown out now, but still longer on top. She's cute no matter what her hair looks like. You'll probably be seeing a lot of her on here too.

Tessa doing my hair for the wedding

Here are a few more wedding pictures to tide you over until I get the rest from my camera. My sister in law, Teri, colored my hair two days before I left for Arkansas. (by the way, Teri, I got a lot of compliments on it) I got my hair "did" from Tessa (which I think she did a lovely job...Thank you Tessa) and there will be more pictures as soon as I get my film developed. :)

Tessa Tessa Bo Bessa

This is Deanne's cousin Tessa. I met her for the first time a couple days before the wedding. We decided that Deanne put us both in the wedding purely to amuse ourselves. Lucky for all involved, it worked! :)

At least I'm here...........

So, I made it home safe and sound....that's more than I can say for my luggage. Don't act like you're suprised...it wouldn't be my life without a mishap of some kind. That would be too easy. I arrived in Des Moines ahead of schedule...feeling fine...except for a small urge to urinate. No big deal, I'll grab my luggage and head to the restroom. You know how when you wait for something, you have to pee? Well, waiting for my bags when I already had to pee wasn't just irritating...it was down-right pissing me off. So, needless to say, when the last bag came around and it wasn't mine, I was no happy camper. So I walked up to the counter and asked them to please track my bags and found out they were still in Chicago. The best news was that since it wasn't the airlines fault (don't ask me how losing my bags wasn't their fault) they weren't going to deliver them. They were trying to tell me that I had to drive 100 miles the next day to get them. So, after going to the restroom. I called customer service and told them a thing or two about a thing or two and low and behold, my bags arrived this morning....tattered...but here.

Deanne and Chris' Wedding

I got this picture from Tessa, the bridesmaid in the wine colored dress. I went to Arkansas last week and had so much fun with these girls. It was so nice being able to be there for my friend Deanne's wedding! There will be more wedding pictures posted when I get them, but I don't want to steal them all from Tessa :)

Kyla and Jaidyn

Here are my other neices, Kyla and Jaidyn. They live in Nebraska so I don't get to see them much. Here they are playing with their play-doh soap set. This was just the beginning...trust me...it got messy :)

Hunter just being beautiful

I'm not usually one to toot my own horn, but this is one of my favorite pictures that I've ever taken. She was 2 months old in this picture.
