Monday Blues.....

I have a serious case of the Monday blues. My biggest problem for today is I want to stay at the Lake but can't. My second problem is I don't feel like sleeping in a hotel tonight, but I have to. My Third problem.....I thought it was suppose to be warmer today.

Apparently, it is up to ROn and I to get the big yellow truck to Cambridge. That is all well and good but that makes me nervous :) Nothing more scary than Ron driving a big rig with his knee......oh well I suppose I will get there safe and sound one way or another...

So I am OUT of here time tomorrow night.......ADIOS!

I promise....

to be a better blogger this month. I am not sure what happened in February, but maybe between all the stuff going on and being sick most of the month, probably had ALOT to do with it.

March 1st.....WOW hard to believe. I decided to give up a couple of my Creative Teams this month. I am very active at one site and have found that suddenly scrapbooking was more work than it was fun for me. I was spending all my time creating layouts that were completed just to get my monthly requirements done. I have decided to set aside one day a week for scrapping if I can. So that is something to look forward to for me. Speaking of scrapbooking...I did this layout using one of my Blog Posts here:




Last month, I did really good on the no chocolate challenge. I do however miss:



It was rough but I managed to live through it......I think :) Now I have to get use to Friday being Fishy at my house. I kind of forget about Lent not being Catholic and all, but good thing Ron loves fish. Me...not so much. I like my good ole red meat :)

This upcoming week is full, but that is ok with me. Tommorrow we leave for Cambridge for an auction, then I am planning on attending a Land Auction we have with Ron on Wednesday. I sure hope someone comes to bring me home because we have an auction on Thursday and if it is really suppose to be 70 degrees I certainly don't want to miss that! It can't be worse than LAST Thursday's.......MAN that was COLD!

Well that is my update for the first of March. Looking forward to seeing the Lake ice melt, letting my cats outside to play and opening windows!!!

I am going to go finish laundry and settle in for some NASCAR later today....GO CLINT BOWYER!!!!

I swear I can NOT....

take these guys anywhere.

Leave them alone with one of our flags and a mound of gravel and suddenly you get this......





DORKS!

Tom, Ron, Jim and John....

Recapping State Wrestling in Photos....

Cause I really want to save these photos of my Nephew Sheldon at State Wrestling:

Happy Birthday to

My awesome pal T!! Man......40 years.....good god have we known each other a LONG time. I am so glad that I do. There are parts of my life that are better because you were part of it. I am extrememly proud of you. You have a wonderful wife. A family that is awesome. Children who are so great. You are a wonderful teacher and a coach that any parent should be proud to have as a mentor and role model for their child.



Here's to 40 more years! I love ya T.

A word about

State Wrestling 2009.

I know my nephew wanted to be in the Medal round at State and fell a little short, but with all of life's ups there are downs. They make us strong, smarter and more in control of our destiny. It challenges us to be more diligent and maybe a little bit more grateful for those little accomplishments.

I just want my Nephew to know how very very proud I am of him. HE doesn't have to be a state qualifier, or a medalist or a champion...he just has to be my Nephew Sheldon. The kid who can always make me smile. I am grateful for the fun I have had watching you this year. Your love of the sport has given me the opportunity to spend time with my family, old friends and have experiences that I wouldn't have had if it wouldn't have been for you.



There is something to take away from the 2009 tournament.

You have friends who have fun with you, teamates who respect and need you and a family that loves you. Your a winner hands down in my book! Being a Champion will fade, medals will get packed away someday, but you will always have the love and support of who loves you the most.....and that you will have forever!

There............that is what I tried to tell you, but I was having too hard of a time not crying. I am softie and YOU know it :)

Oh the excitement....

in preparation for State Wrestling. The first and foremost exciting thing is I don't have to pack any yellow!!! That makes me very happy, second to watch some exciting wrestling and finally to spend some time with my family........

and to support Sheldon.



It will not be an easy road but one that I know this kid can accomplish great things on. Good Luck Sheldon.

HOW ABOUT.....

My NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer!! 4th in the Daytona 500. WHOOOO Mr Bowyer!! and they said you would never make it this year in the #33. YOU ROCK.....this photo is from clintbowyer.com and I love it!



a racer is always by his car. YEAH CLINT!

Our beautiful new Godson....

JACK LANDAUER.

Uncle Ron and Aunt Kristin are proud to introduce you all to our beautiful newly aquired Godson Jack Landauer. He is cute as can me and Ron and I are very honored to be his Godparents. Thank you John and Angie for asking us and we promise to be good Godparents and teach him lots and lots about Racing and Auctions.........hehehehe




We love you Jack and can't wait to watch you grow up!

My Valentine's Gift....

These beautiful flowers from my Ronnie....




A sweet chocolate from my Nephew Seth that melted in my pocket, but I still thought was cute. (NO photo just tooo cute) :)

A visit with my dear friends Gregg and Michele and their beautiful and sweet Children. ( I sure wish Moeller would figure out to download his photos)

...and my nephew Qualfying for the Nebraska State Wrestling Tournament for the Second year in a row......


And celebrating with my special friend Tommy!

Amazing....

I can NOT believe that I am about to watch the NASCAR Gatorade Duals. WOW amazing. It seems so weird to be back racing already. I swear yesterday was the first Husker game of the year. As I look forward to the NASCAR season a bit of me is worried for Clint and a bit of me is excited to watch him grow into the Cheerios #33 car. Yes, I am missing him in the Old #07 BUT he is wearing a yellow suit and sporting my two favorite colors. Yellow and Red. SO good luck to Clint Bowyer in the Shootout today, the Daytona 500 on Sunday and the entire Season! Make that Chase Clint!

Ugghhhh

I have been battling a terrible tummy ache ALL day tonight and half of last night. This has been the LONGEST day. It is soooo nice out and I want to be outside, but I just don't feel up to it. I am hoping this is not a permant thing and hopefully this will NOT hang on. I don't really want to be sick this week or weekend so send me good feeling well vibes......

Ron's New

CAR!...and he loves it. He totally fell in love with this car while in Oneill and he said he "had to have it". Well he found out who owned and it bang.....here it is.




Ron is happiest when he has a pretty Caddie to drive around. I am so happy for him cause he really LOVED this car!

Happy Birthday Joel

Yesterday!

I have NO idea what the H Joel and I were doing here but this is Clint Bowyer's lucky Bear. At least Joel and I are both RCR fans.........

Your a great friend. I love ya Joel. We love ya. That's sounds weird saying that meaning Ron, but we are very glad we are friends. We miss you very much and look forward to having some fun together soon, let's not wait till the Kansas race....let's have some fun soon!!!!!!

Here is to Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer....and to racing!

I am grateful for you my friend and for Heather and for all the wonderful times we have had in the last...how ever many years!!

Fun at the Hockey Game!!

I forget how much I LOVE Hockey until I go again and then I am reminded......tonight Ron and I went to the Lincoln Stars game. IT was fun because they played the Tri-City Storm (also a Nebraska team).

Way to go....

...to my vary favorite Wrestler; my Nephew Sheldon! First place at the Clearwater invite! WAY TO GO KID!! I had the best time watching you. On to Districts next.

Just the most.....

Perfect day ever!! I think I appreciate the nice days in Winter more than any other.....

60 DEGREES. NO wind.........just an awesome day.

Took my frozen Christmas stuff down. Picked up the trash in my yard. Hung out my sheets. Cleaned out Kandie (my Explorer). Carried our boxes to my to sell trailer. Picked up groceries. Went to the floral shop........

Spent time with my "kids":





I could not have asked for a more wonderful day. It was perfect.

Found these photos.....

....and as much as I LOVE snow....I wish our dock was thawed out!! I wish the water was thawed out...I miss having fun in the boat. Hanging out on our "beach".....just having good clean lake fun!

This was after the big snow we had following our Company Christmas party......
