it has been so long since i have posted, most probably thought me to be dead. nope, just lazy and left with nothing to say.
life has been crazy lately and i am ready for the ride to come to a full and complete stop so i can go around and get in line for another trip. we always complain at an amusement park about waiting in line, but in reality maybe it is a way for us to recharge, recoup and prepare for the next go round on the ride. what an e-ticket it has been. i have been so busy that i have not had one week-end to do anything for myself or to my home. my garage is still an absolute disaster and getting worse if that is possible. i haven't even looked at my pool in a month (too cold now to swim anyway) i am ready for a break.
i quit the band - no more music (the thing i liked the most). quit the motorcycle group (my term in office is over in dec.) and have said NO to a great many things. 2006 is looking good for r&r, family time and some me time.
deb, caity and i took our first camping trip with our new trailer. we had a whole lot of things go wrong as we were trying to leave for the coast, but nothing that stopped our trip. started out we had a problem with our weight distribution hitch. went to the local rv dealer and got that taken care of. the dealer we bought our rv from will be paying for that fix, even if they don't know it yet. then we are driving to morro bay and it is getting dark... turn on the lights - bam no more running lights to the trailer. not much i can do in the middle of no where. we drive on. so we arrive in mb and i have to set up our trailer, for the first time, in the dark. it actually wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. i had set it up a couple of times in the drive way and at the place we store it, so i had a good idea what i was doing, but i have never had to have it level and hook up all the stuff - water, electricity, sewer. well i left off the sewer until the end of the weekend because the tanks can hold 40 gal. (that is a lot of pooh) anyway, sat rolls around and i go into town to get a fuse for the truck and fix the running lights. i also picked up a coax cable to hook up to the cable tv outlet at the campground - maiden voyage, had to see if everything works! (i spent the rest of sat watching usc beat the irish in a classic and then watched nascar. i have not sat for that much tv in months, maybe years.) it was great! sunday came and we loaded up and came home. after all the beginning headaches, the week-end went really well and i am looking forward to our next big adventure - dirtbiking in hollister with no hook-ups (damn, no cable tv). it will be another new experience - full self containment.
well i guess i said some stuff. maybe this will break my writers block and give me some mental power to be creative.

Dude! We are looking to get a trailer for next summer. Looks like we might get to do some Wallace-Cox family camping!
Life has been speeding 100 mph for me too. I dont even have time to enjoy a nice cold beer. I have to chug it and go!
is chugging bad? I have lots of time to sit on my ass - which I do, and yet I still chug. so what does this equate to? sitting around, chugging beer - a very large backside to sit on. But hey, more cushion, more reason to sit, more reason to chug beer. See, it works!
ok, I admit it. I said the word ass in front of your kid and mine today (actually what I said was tinker bell was a pain in the ass fairy). mistake, mistake, mistake. especially since mine then proceeded to pat me on the back and say "good for you mom, you said a bad word" while your child giggled uncontrollably *note to Deb and Michael, never send young child to Thomas house for fear of irreparable damage*
i don't think caitlyn will have to endure any sessions on the couch due to the word ass, as she has heard much worse in her our home. she might be traumatized by the fact that you do not like and appreciate tinker bell's determination and continued loyalty and view this as simply a pain in the ass. i think that is really a bunch of bullshit!
and for chugging beer. i think there is a petition going around suggesting that it become an olympic sport in 06, so i suggest you all stay in "training" because you never know when your country may need your mad skills!
troll doll? those things scare the hell out of me. that crazy hair!
I hate that damn troll doll song! My kids think it's great to start singing it at dinnertime, and if one is singing, then the others should join in just to irritate mom! Mike if you don't have the joy of knowing this song, maybe Keith can teach Caitlyn, my kids came home from the Giles' with this lovely song in tow. (see there are worse things than realizing that Tinker Bell is a pain in the ass fairy that is obsessed with a boy who doesn't want to grow up - come on Jim Barrie! every immature little boy's dream girl!)
As for the chugging....er. well, I'll be happy to apply for the Olympics – my one great deed for my country, at least I now have a goal in mind. Excuse me while I go train! ; P
