This weekend started on Friday morning when Stella got a snow day and an extra day off of school. We packed up our things and headed down to Connor's at noon for what was to be a fun filled weekend! In came more snow then we've seen in quite a while and it was fun to snuggle in for the night with a good movie, some dance moves, and a yummy pork roast. Arriving at Connor's house! The snow we've been waiting for! Bundling up for the ride to the grocery store! Stella bustin out some dance moves while we were cooking dinner! Snugglin on the couch watching a movie! Then came Saturday morning and time for an ER trip! I'd had a stomach ache since Thursday and Friday night was almost unbearable. Connor was a trooper and stayed up with me to keep an eye on me. I couldn't take it any longer and by Saturday morning we were off to hospital. Long story short.... I had a cyst rupture in stomach and it cause a little damage but nothing like a good dose of Daludin ( sp ??...

Woke up this morning at the usual 6am and looked outside the window and got a big smile on my face. I called the school weather line and sure enough NO SCHOOL!!!! I headed up to the lil 'ones room and woke her up to give her the good news. She gave a big WOO- HOO , rolled back over and went back to sleep. I on the other hand had to put my self together and head down to the office. Luckily for me I only have a few hours of work to do and then it's play time. Love gloomy, 1/2 days of work! Hope everyone is enjoying the Gloom! A picture out my office window. No snow here but lots and lots of rain! Love it!

I finally see an end in sight! All we have to do is round out the corner and the wall is DONE!! Well, I guess not totaly done but at least this part. After we get the corner done then it's on to putting on all the different types of patios on top and then the furniture.... but at least the hard part is done...all 140 lnft of it! ( happy girl) New coat hooks for the office. Big Lots for $2.99....can't beat that! Paul and Eloy made a new little table to go in the corner of my new freshly painted office. The institutional white walls were driving me crazy, plus all the dirt that was showing up on them, it was a daily chore of trying to keep them clean. I reorganized my desk and got a lot of the clutter out of there and into the storage/extra office upstairs. It feels new and fresh and I love it. I only painted two of the four walls in the office, and the huge window, it's amazing what a little color will do! Silly pictures but Paul was picture happy this morning.... Hope e...

Connor and Stella in New Mexico on our last trip down there they are standing with Cortez exploring the new world! :) I just booked our tickets this morning for another fun filled trip to New Mexico. Seth (Connor's little brother) is graduating from high school so we are all heading down for a long weekend to celebrate. I think even Connor's grandparents are coming in from Massachusetts . Oh, and Chad and Laurie are coming in from London with baby Grant for the occasion ! Woo- Hoo ! We hopped online this morning and bought our tickets... $39 each way! Can you believe it!?! It's silly not to fly. It's cheaper then driving and only a two hour flight as opposed to sitting in the call for 8 hours! WOOT ! Stella is so excited!

I know it's been a few days but my poor laptop has gotten sick! :( I have to take it in tomorrow and hope that they can bring her back to life! On the up side, it might be time for a new one? Either way, here we go.... Stella had Spring Break all last week and went skiing almost everyday! woo- hoo . She went to her dad and step mom's on Thursday to spend an extra day with them for her break. 3 days away from her and I really REALLY miss the lil bugger, but I'm picking here up in a few hours and I can't wait! Friday night our little crew of friends did dinner at Fontana Sushi (our usual sushi joint). After dinner we headed downtown for a little bar hopping. LOTS of fun but man am I feeling old. I was the DD just because I'm not a big drinker so I don't mind but it's hard staying up that late. HA! I don't know how we use to do it night after night. Oh to be young! Nah.... Saturday Connor and I headed out to Dick's Sporting Goods Complex to watch the...

It's that time of year again and I got the itch to chop my hair. I seem to do this every spring. I switched it up a little this year, instead of going to Fix (my usual salon) and paying and couple hundred for a cut and color, I decided to try something different. I tried out this new place in Boulder called Floyd's. It a barber shop. They do women's hair as well but I've know a few people that have gone in there and they always come out with a kick ass hair cut. I think I have found my new favorite spot. My hair is a little shorter then I thought it would be but I love it and it always grows out right? Pictures soon....

I'm getting there. With the cold weather and snow this last week, I haven't been able to work on the wall much but today I completed phase 4. Woot ! Only two more to go and this project is done and on to the next. I can feel the months of sitting behind the desk have caught up to me but with each wall I build I feel myself getting stronger and stronger. About a month from now I'll be in prime rock lifting shape, and I can't wait. On another note... I took some random picture today after I got home while getting ready for a little dinner party we were having at the house. With Stella on spring break this week my mom and her went skiing together today. They had a beautiful day up there, very few people, warm weather and lots of snow. It doesn't get much better, I only wish I could have joined them but Stella and I got a chance to hang out all day yesterday and this afternoon. Herbs growing in the winter. Rudi's favorite new spot outside on the deck. Hope everyon...
