Tired Elbows?

Tyler has been staying at my house since last Friday because his parents are on a vacation/business trip. He's been good, with one exception.....last night. Janine and William came over last night and the poor little guy wanted to stay up and play. I felt bad, I know it would be hard if someone told me "go to bed, you can't hang out!" We finally got him settled and into bed, but it was a little later than his normal bed time....eeek. This morning comes a little quick and he wants to continue sleeping...well after a couple attempts, he gets up and says "I'm not tired.....my elbows are tired!" Umm.......your elbows? are tired? Ok! Well yes, I'm not sure how you get tired elbows, but this morning, Tyler's elbows were pooped! Maybe his elbows are tired because I've been wearing him out...hehe We've played lots of Wii (Mario Kart), we've gone to the Baker Street chapel a couple times to "shoot hoops" (that kid is a basketball fanatic right now and he shoots overhand...really well!), we went to see Monsters v. Aliens ( he loved it and he's just like me...walking around quoting funny lines), we built monsters online, he taught me a song, we played a "monster making" card game, we play "disco bath" (a fun bathtime game I created, and I've found plenty of time for hugs and kisses. :)



I'm gonna miss him when his parents come home.....and take him away.....

Where does the time go?

So there was this one time...that I went to Disneyland and I had the time of my life, but when I got home...I never uploaded my pictures on to my computer. Sheesh, whats happening to me? I tell ya...time flies!!! I can't believe I've been home for..OVER a week now! I'll upload the pictures, I promise, but here's a little taste and to remind everyone out there in blog-land that I didn't die. I'm very much alive!! :)

Coincidence - I'm okay!

Coincidence is defined as an event that might have been arranged although it was REALLY accidental.

Accidental or not……I have two words for you… fre - aky!

Ok, so I head down to Amazing Rayz last night, desperately needing to squeeze in some much needed artificial sun, plus when I tan, I do a lot of relaxing and thinking – it’s great! I climb in the bed and I’m fully enjoying my cocoon of warmth…… and by warmth, I mean HEAT! SOO hot last night, but I loved it! Ahhhh…so there I was laying peacefully while my brain was trying it’s ever lovin’ best to add some undue stress in my life. “Kristi…worry about something…come on…WORRY!!” So I give into the temptation - “ohhh I love those red danskos…when should I buy them, or when can I buy them? ok…yeah I can buy those probably in May ..that will be okay.” SNAP, my mind is on to something else “Do I have enough money saved up for Disneyland? Yeah I’ll be fine..” SNAP “I have so much to do at work before I leave town..ok..I can get it done..everything will be okay.” SNAP……suddenly and oh so faintly coming from the radio next to the tanning bed, I hear “Kristi, are you doing okay?”

HUH?!?!?! In the easiest way possible, I lift the lid and kinda lean out toward the radio…… “did he really just ask me if I’m doing okay?” I listen closer and sure enough..he says “Kristi, are you doing okay?”

So that’s my coincidence of the week…it was WEIRD!!!

*the song is by The Offspring and it’s technically called “Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?” – they can’t spell my name worth a darn, but it’s a GOOD song!

ELTON JOHN!!

Surprise! I spent my Friday night rockin to the "Piano Man"!! Whoa, whoa, let's back up...so Friday, my boss gave me err..well he told me I was going, so he gave me 2 tickets, ROW 7, to Elton John! AND WOW!!! What a night!! I've been singing random Elton John songs all weekend. ~Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone~, ~Oh it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes~, ~And you can tell everybody this is your song, It may be quite simple but now that it's done, I hope you don't mind~, and the best part of the night....... ~She's got electric boots a mohair suit, You know I read it in a magazine....BBBBBB Bennie and the Jets~ Haha, what an awesome evening! During "Crocodile Rock"...the Laaaaa...La la la la laaaaaa part..he stopped playing the piano and the crowd sang along, I looked at my State Legislature serious Attorney boss and nudged him and SURE enough, he happily looked at me and sang along with the la la la's. Bottom line, if you get a chance to see Sir Elton in concert...GO FOR IT!!!

Silly me, I cleared my camera card last night and my pictures are at home. I'll post my own pictures soon! I got a great shot of him when he walked over to our side of the stage...RIGHT AFTER BENNIE AND THE JETS! Good concert!! AND GREAT SEATS!!

Springtime in the Rockies

Picture this…you’re having a terrible hair day, you run home at lunch and try to salvage what the hair fairy bestowed on you this morning…..you finally dig deep in your powers to make it presentable. YAY successful!!! What happens next? Do you walk outside to a beautiful blue sky, tulips and daisies of every color blooming around you, and the sound of birds chirping? No, a raging freaking blizzard!!! The snow is piling up on your car faster than you can say “oh crap!” Well if this has never happened to you or anyone you know..now it has because it JUST happened to me! Ohh ya gotta love springtime in the Rockies. I keep telling myself, “Kristi…this is what makes Wyoming green for the summer..THESE DANG SPRING SNOWFALLS…” However, this little chant, isn’t working…I’m tired of the snow! So I brave the blowing snow and clean a small snow village off my car and head back to work. Could things get worse? Yeah, because even after driving in this crappy kind of weather for HOW LONG NOW, so many idiots NEVER learn. I had the strong urge to flip 4 or 5 people off. I didn’t, but how can 4 cars…4 PEOPLE in what, a 10 minute drive, be SOOO idiotic? Pulling out and stopping directly in front of me OR riding my tail on slick roads and low visibility? I was certain I had accidentally left my invisibility cloak on my car, but I checked, nope!



Duh…this is why spring is my least favorite season..bring on Summer and Fall!!!
