nothing important

Friday was a sad day. We disconnected our super-high speed internet and downgraded to dialup. Total savings: $45 a month! Yes, we were paying WAY too much for internet. I signed us up for PeoplePC or whatever -- the one that's $11 a month. We also got rid of all the bells and whistles on our home phone line. Now all we have is a "dial tone." Umm, that's all we were using anyway. It was kinda nice to have the caller ID pop up on the TV screen, but totally unnecessary. The only reason we even have a home phone now is for the alarm system monitoring (and now, dialup internet). I got our dialup setup and it is a lot faster than I thought it would be. Not FAST, but not SLOW either.

Tomorrow the warranty people are coming to our house to fix a few wonky corners that shouldn't have passed inspection in the first place. I'm opting to take Caleb and vacate the premises. I hate being around when workers are in the house 1) They leave the doors open and it's cold outside; 2) I don't really want to see the mess they are going to make; 3) I don't really want them to see me and/or Caleb. I have a problem when people stare. You might know what kind of "people" I'm talking about.
I'm a little worried that there is going to be a huge mess when I get home, but Greg says I shouldn't worry. The problem I'm having is the walls they are going to repair are part of the pantry and part of Caleb's playroom. Two of the most annoying places to have a mess! Sheetrock dust all over the food in the pantry... appetizing. And Caleb's little toys are so hard to clean, and they would have to be cleaned because he puts them all in his mouth. G says that we shouldn't have to move everything but I still don't want a mess all over my food and Caleb's toys. Argh. At least they are fixing them. That's an improvement from the former Warranty man... he was a great guy, but then he disappeared. come to find out... if he shows his face around to close to our neighbor's house my 6'7" neighbor might shoot him!! ....but that's another story for another day when I get the facts straightened out. Greg now jokes that I am not allowed to be home alone with the warranty men, which is fine with me, because I like to keep up appearances, and strange men in and out of a house isn't the appearance I want to.. umm, appear, kwim?

celebrity lookalikes

HA What a joke!

Snow and pretty things

It's a Texas winter again! We woke up to snow yesterday, and by nightfall the road was clear and dry. It actually accumulated about 3/4" before it stopped snowing. I tried to get a few picture of the snow in action, here are a few:

(Yes, my husband is standing in the SNOW in SANDALS)

Caleb was checking out my furry hood

I'm loving this right now

She’s the giver I wish I could be and the stealer of the covers
She’s the picture in my wallet
She’s the hand that I'm holdin when I’m on my knees and prayin
She’s the answer to my prayers
She’s the song that I’m playin and

She’s everything that I ever wanted
And everything I need
When I talk about her I go on and on and on
Cause she is everything to me

She’s the voice I love to hear
Someday when I’m 90
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes I only love her more
Yea she’s the one that i'd lay down my own life for

She’s everything that I ever wanted
And everything I need
When I talk about her I go on and on and on
Cause she is everything to me

part of a Brad Paisley song -- I love that guy! He sings about me all the time.

New Blog

I've made a new blog called "About the babe." Right now the link to it is in my profile, but I'll try to post a link over in the link section.

More Weekend Funness

{Edit: I think this is the best picture of myself I've ever seen. EVER}


I love the weeekends! They are always so fun. We went to a wedding sans Caleb and had a blast! I missed my boy immensely, but it was SO DANG NICE to stay out late and sleep in. The wedding was fun, we had food, and dancing, and cake, and more dancing. Greg actually danced with me - slow and fast!! I had to drag him out, but after I pointed out several men that had zero rythym and were still out there dancing with their women, he loosened up a bit and we slow danced, and then we fast danced. It was almost like the prom again! There was even the Funky Chicken, Electric Slide, Cotton Eyed Joe and a conga line or two. And believe it or not, there was no alcohol! And I still did the Cotton Eyed Joe in my red high heels. It was great fun. Not to be missed.

Now here's a laugh: picture Greg, my husband, dancing the Funky Chicken. Laugh! Good times!

We have decided to sell our two sofas downstairs and buy a chair or two at IKEA and bring the upstairs couch down. And I think we are going to also sell our old bedroom set and buy a sleeper sofa and a bedframe for upstairs. We never use the furniture except for the occasional overnight guest, so all we really need is a bed. That way we can buy IKEA cheapies and save some money.

I PROMISE to finish my Real Estate licensing stuff this year and get my sponsor and make one commission check in 2007. That is a lofty goal, but I think I can do it. Let's see, I have 358 days left? Totally doable.

Happy New One!

Greg commented that now he has to remember to put 2007 on stuff and not 2006. I thought we were done with that when we graduated High School, but apparently people still have to write the date on things. Who knew?

I cried like a little baby yesterday after Tiana left. It was pitiful. On another note, I am happy that I get to possible drink alcohol at the wedding we're going to this weekend! Mom reminded me that they (like me) are a bunch of Baptists, so there may not be any. I refuse to believe that. They are having the reception "off-campus" so SURELY there will at least be champagne! If not, we'll have to get some Margarita mix and bring it home so I can have ALCOHOL for the first time in almost 2 years. WAHWAH. Wait, except that one time.

If anyone isn't too grossed out about this... I'm really glad to have my boobs to myself again. I may be rethinking that the first time I have to buy formula... those sample cans aren't lasting as long as I had hoped they would.

Lemme dig up a pic for the top of the post.
