Catching up... sorry....

I know I know.. I have not posted in quite a while!! Well... I now have a computer that is limping along.. it only has and hour of battery at a time.. and the power cord won't work in the back of the dang thing.. I don't feel like spending alll my Christmas $ on a new one.. so maybe a back up battery is the next best thing!!! Or steal my Fresh Prince's more often!! My DEAR friend Chelle invited me to join Facebook.. and ever since my hour of computer time has been spent (waisting time) on the new found time waster!! lol oh well, it will calm down soon.
I have started to be very busy with my hair business so I will not be spending much time on here at all!!
I can back up a bit and share some fun in the last week... On Tuesday night The Man and I along with his best friend and son went to AC/DC... I was really not excited and just knew the guitar solos were going to make me scratch my eyes out.. but I actually LOVED the whole concert!! it was great we were 12 rows from the stage!! We were in AWWWWE!!! UNTIL the next day.. Wednesday The Man had to be at work by 5:30.. and I had an hangover from HELLLLLLL... and I had only 3 beers!!!! I threw up 4 times!!!!! geesh!!! I think it had more to do with the fact that I had not eaten and then drank!!!! Hummmm.. maybe that is why I LOVED the concert so much.. :) I will post pictures.. we only took the cell camera because The Man was sure no cameras were allowed!!!! (goes to prove you should never listen to a man!!!)

Thanksgiving was great.. food was great The Man got off work by 1 so we had the afternoon together! and everyone was well behaved!!! We also had Christmas with Stan's parents because we are not going to be together on the actual day!! I got a Wii Fit!! and did my first 30 minutes yesterday and i am SORE today!!!!

Oh one more reason I have been away for so long...... UMMMM I have been reading like a HOUND... I am on my 4th book in the Twilight series!! and I have seen Twilight 2 times!!! lol...I am about 1/2 way through the last book and I can not put it down.. I will have read allllll 4 books in less than a MONTH that is a BIG thing for ME!!! and I am quite proud of myself!! (pat on the back!!!)

Friday I went to the mall with my dear friend Chelle!! It was sooooo fun.. I didn't even realize the amount of people there until I tried to get out of the parking lot!!! MY goodness!! We shared stories, gossiped (NOT US) and enjoyed the company.. Her sisters and mom were there as well and it was great to see them all.. We are going to be together again in Jan. and I am very excited to spend more time together!!!! :) It was also Chelle's 40th bday which she celebrated gracefully.. as Chelle always has!!! She makes 40 look like 20!!! Just more mature and in control of herself!!! :) I am glad I got be be in on part of her BIG day with her!!!

I am putting up Christmas this week... We have a new tree that I am VERY excited about.. I just have to get the MEN of the house to lug it all up out of the basement so I can get started!!!!!! YIPPEE.. although the underneath of the tree will be EMPTY due to the Pool table/hockey table/ping pong table that we got and sat up on Thanksgiving day because we needed all the MAN power that we could and they were all here soooo WHAT THE HECK.... Sunshine had a great idea to wrap up boxes of cereal for under the tree... I think I just might do that!!! and they will each have a few small things as well!!!!

So now that I have rambled!!! I need to go.. today is my day at Simba's school and then a entire day of hair appts.!!!!

GOOD NEWS

Okay Okay I know you are all dying to know (tad bit of sarcasm!)..... Fresh Prince made the Freshman Basketball team!!! Thank GOD it would have been an U-G-L-Y weekend if he did not!! I made is favorite dinner Friday night in preparation for a "comfort meal" or for a "CELEBRATION meal" it was Lasagna.. and man was it a chore, first I had to go to the store, then I had to open up the freezer door.. then I had to drive back home.. then I had to warm up the oven.. and then I had to sit on my ass for 2 hours and read my book and smell the yummmm fill the house!!! lol... I love Stoffers by the way! and Hell you can't make Lasagna for 10 bucks!!!!! (smile)

Sunshine didn't make state at her DECA districts.. and hasn't wanted to talk about it much so I left it alone.. (sometimes better with the females of the house!) She went straight for competition to work, which I saw her later when we hit the BIG concert.. NKOTB.. By the way I saw that shirt running around alll over the place and it took oooooohhh about 15 minutes to sink in what it stood for!! LOL geesh, sometimes the blonde highlights work to my advantage!! :)

By the way the NEW KIDS are MEN!!!! (wow imagine that) and are Quite attractive!!!!!! The friend that I went with has some picts. I will post as soon as she forwards them to me.. Oh and by the way ... we REALLLLY partied... I had a Vanilla Coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL and she had another coffee concoction!!! Needless to say we were home by 11:ish and I was WIRED... so I read my New Moon.. OMG it is good... Now there are WEREWOLVES!!! Who would have ever thought I would be this addicted to something sooooooo.. um FUN!!! I can't put it down.. I am about 3/4 finished... I better be on the hunt for the next one... and I AM going to TWILIGHT Friday if I have to go by my self!! Since The Man said "oh great you want me to take you to a romance movie that is SCARY!!!!" He by the way HATES both!! LOL welllll thats what he wants everyone to believe although he still says Titanic was one of his favorites... ummmm just a bit romantic at times... LOL.

I got nudged into starting a Facebook... I kept getting invites.. so what the heck.. like I said one more thing to distract me from Laundry.. Like the books aren't doing that ALREADY..
It is actually quite fun and I hooked up with an old friend that moved our Sophomore year, and I had been looking for here on EVERYTHING! Also hooked up with Chelle.. who was the one who nudged me over there. And her wonderful sis Barbie!!! I love those Girls!!!!!!!

Welll..better hit the Salon...it is almost that time.

A big day

Today is a big day.. Fresh Prince has been in Basketball tryouts for the last 2 days... and today is the day he finds out if he made the team..only 15 boys will make the team..about 30 tried out.. even The Man is nervous.. he has even popped into tryouts just to check out the competition... this will be either a REALLY GOOD DAY or YIKES a REalllyyyy bad day!!!!!

Also Sunshine is going to District competition with DECA today.. at Johnson and Whales!! Her FAVORITE place on EARTH!!! so I hope that goes well!!

Simba is NOT happy with me this morning... I MADE him wear a coat to school.. we had a small snow fall last night and I thought it was a good idea (call me DUMB) when we got to the bus stop.. ALLL the kids had coats on, given Aaron's coat is a North Face NICE coat.. he was grumbling.. it's itchy, I look fat.. blah blah blah!! So I pointed out a 5th grader that it was obvious his coat was a few years old and MUCH too small and told him now at least you don't look like HIM... about that time the bus came and his best friend had not come to the bus stop yet.. he says to me welllll.. if Nick has his coat on then I will be okay..but.. if he doesn't I am going to be MAD .. as he got out and was walking to the bus here came Nick..... COAT LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by the time Nick caught up to Simba... Simba had unzipped and ripped his coat off!!! I was laughing inside!! Geesh.. He is like a pre-teen GIRL!!!! I SWEAR!!!! He is going to be the death of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Man is busy getting everything ready for a BIG BIG job at Coors, they are doing it over Thanksgiving.. (one of the only times Coors shuts down to do this kind of work).. he has been going to meetings about meetings and training on training.. I swear men make jobs sooo much harder.. there is a lot riding on this project.. it has NEVER been done before.. and if it goes well they will get a lot of recognition!! They are labeled the Best of the Best and have gotten many bonuses and awards for the work they have done.. should be interesting!! I hope it goes well.. He also found out the is going to Shenandoah, Virginia for training on the 7th of December.. for 3 days.. I hear it is sooo pretty there...??

I'm baaackkkk

California was great!! The plane trip was great, The Man decided to take me to the airport, which wasn't planned, and was very nice! Minnie was waiting for me on the other end so I had a safe hand off!! LOL We started our trip off with my first visit to an In and Out burger!! YUMMMMM, now I see why everyone raves about them!!! We got up bright and early on Saturday and headed to Disneyland...We had a blast.. It is true what they say it is more fun without kids.. you get a lot done!!!! We also went to California Adventure..It was BEAUTIFUL

SEE

We met up with Minnie's Mr. CA and his kids and it was also fun to meet the kids and also ride rides with them!! They pressured me into riding the Tower of Terror and I SWORE I would NEVER NEVER NEVER ride it again!!! It was kinda fun!!

By the way we had one totally HOT day and 2 pretty chilly and windy days.. but chilly there is way different than chilly here!! LOL

My hair show was amazing.. it was called the International Hair color exchange.. and it was about 300 hair colorists whom did nothing but share ideas, formulas and allll kind of information I am still processing it all... it was GREAT!! Well worth the $$$!!!!

I am also reading Twilight!! I am almost done... and all I can say is WOW.. it is VERY Very VERY good... I can't wait to see the movie.. and may even go on opening night!!! I have got to go get the others!!

HELLO warm L.A

Well I have a few minutes to spare... since I am being stood up by my oldest, dearest client!!!!!! (good thing... or she would be getting the BOOT!) Her name is Valarie, and I met her the year I moved here and have done her Hair and Nails for 15 years!!!!!!!!!!! She also made my wedding dress (we traded..awesome thing!) She and her girls are very dear to me.. I know she is probably home sleeping because she is a nurse at Children's Hospital and worked nights last night.. I would call and NAGGG her but.. I need a break... because I LEAVE FOR L.A. tomorrow!!! YIPPEE

I thought I had my crap together.. but I really don't.. I had my suitcase packed on Monday but Now I have decided to check my bag because MINNIE needs her hair cut.. and I need to take alll the crap that they won't allow on the dumb plane!! (for the sake of national security, I am fine with it!! REALLY) Also I think I need my hair touched up.. since it is a HAIR COLOR conference!!! I will be getting to that at about 8:00 tonight!!!!

I have to leave my house at 6:00AM and my plane leaves at a bit before 9!! I ammmm sooooo excccittteeeeeed!!!! and a bit nervous... I don't fly by myself EVERYDAY!! I bought Twilight to read on the plane, Minnie says it is a MUST!!!! I also am a bit nervous about the whole Hair Color class!!!!! I hope I can keep up!!! LOL ;) I am sure I can.. but STILLLLL I have been in this business for 18 years!!!!! I will take lots of pictures.. We go to Disneyland on Saturday so I will make sure and say HI to Mickey!!!! I also get to meet all of Minnie's "new" kids!!

So I better go finish up on all the things I am not doing while sitting here on the computer!!

NO JOKE nor Killing Clown, another Halloween has passed

NO Jokin'... look at Simba as the Joker... I had a hard time with this costume, given the guy is no longer alive.. and quite disturbing... but what Simba wants Simba gets!!! (smile) He actually wasn't even wanting to go trick or treating... but MOMMA needs some candy..so GET OUT THERE little boy and GET ME SOME CANDY!! (like I need it!!) I rarely eat the junk but I have been jonesing on the idea for a WEEK!!

And since Fresh Prince can't seem to decide if he is a "big boy" or not he decided to dress up and take Simba out... AUNT MINNIE... does he scare you??? He was pretty darn freaky and one house actually asked him to take off the mask cause her small children were helping her hand out candy and they were scared of him!! geesh!!!! seriously!!.. I have this memory of Fresh Prince who loved his spider man and power ranger costumes sooo much that sometimes in the middle of JULY , I would be doing a clients nails and here he would come allll decked out in spideyware just to watch cartoons.. he was constantly in his costumes.. it was very very cute and seems like a life time ago... NOW he dresses like a killing clown.. good thing he doesn't wear that around all the time I might have to get him professional help!!!

We made it back from Mayberry and were out of town 26 hours!! TOOO fast of a trip.. and the trailer would have probably been fine.. but now we have piece of mind!! Sunshine did a great job with FP they went to the playoff football game and then went to Red Robin with a group of kids I had a friend there and she filled me in on them... and they passed the test.. I told them to be home by 11:45.. and they called at 11:15.. by the way they called on the cell phone.. which I returned with a call on the house phone making up an excuse that they hadn't answered the cell phone... (just making double sure they were REALLY home)!! I also had the neighbor next door keeping an eye on them... you can never be tooooo on top of them!!

We also squeezed in a small group of Simbas friends to do a trip to Chuck E. Cheese and a game of touch football for his birthday celebration.. not a BIG deal this year... We are talking next year about doing a Costume birthday/Halloween party... since it will be a weekend.. I better start planning NOW.. sales might be great right now????

We have also finished FOOTBALL... we are now going to slow down sooo much we probably won't know what to do with ourselves!!! Simba is doing an indoor soccer team on Saturdays but no practices.. and Fresh Prince will be doing a basketball clinic all week and tryouts next week but the season really doesn't ramp up until January.. a few games but not bad... unfortunately The Man is going to be terribly busy until after Thanksgiving is over... so I guess everything will equal out.. I also will get terribly busy with "holiday dooo's" from now until Christmas. Good thing!!!

Today is Class time at Simbs room so I better run... :)

Simbas Birthday went good.. He had to go to his LAST football practice... which he felt was totally wrong because it WAS HIS Birthday!! After practice.. he chose the dinner spot.. HOOTERS!!! We have gone there for a few birthdays... I think this has always been a HOT SPOT because the girls have always loved on him.. wellll this year... they took him up front put serving trays under his arms put a snow cone "beak" in his mouth and made him flap his arms while they sang Happy Birthday to him... HE WAS SOOOO embarrassed!!!! We were PEEEEING our pants!!!Lol.. when he came back to the table I said "that was FUN, do you want to have your birthday here next year?", His quick response was "NO WAY!!!" lol.. I am sooo mad I forgot the camera.. I would have died to have that on here!!!! BAD MOM!!! I think Sunshine got a pict. on her cell phone.. I forgot to ask I was too busy laughing and feeling a bit sorry for him!!! LOL

So here is a good one... he wants his "friend" birthday at Chuck E Cheese on Saturday....LOL from Hooters to Chuck E Cheese.. What a confused little boy!!! LOL geesh!!!!

The Man is worried about our trailer... so Simba, me and The Man are headed to Mayberry for a quick 24 hour trip... leaving tomorrow after school and back on Friday.. OH man this will be the first time we are leaving the 2 kids behind.... CHELLE... good thing we don't have a HOT TUB!!! lol....I have several people watching after them.. from a far!! LOL
