We have so many things we need to get done, and hopefully we can get the done in 2009...

This is a list I composed for the sheer purpose for me to see in writing. I may have left out a few things, but as I remember them I will add them. I will also be posting updates as each one is completed.

in no particular order...

2009 List of ish for the roof that covers our heads at night.
1. Sand and Paint all doors
2. Hang all doors
3. Finish and paint the foot boards through out the house
4. Either replace broken window in kitchen or put in the freaking french door already. Geez.
5. Paint bathroom and kitchen windows
6. Paint all the outside window trim white. It will make our house pop.
7. Landscape the back yard (sprinklers, garden, bunnies... oh ya, and grass!)
8. Put up the 'roof' in the garage that Daniel is obsessed with
9. Get a picnic table for the outside patio with an outdoor rug
10. Some how say good-bye to neighbors messy tree
11. Clean up the house so it is perfectly organized and neat and clean... room by room of course... may need madre's help for that one.
12. Decorate the bare walls that haunt our home
13. Put the fan in the bathroom ... er Dan
14. Get a new screen door
15. Fix the side fence that likes to fall on me
16. Get the thingys for the window treatment in the spare bedroom
17. Finish the front door ... unless that is Dan likes having a pink front door. I really do not mind, do you?

Holiday Recap

Wow, it has been a long time since I have posted anything!

Christmas was crazy busy, and I got everything I asked for and more(except for the earrings that are being delivered today, :) ). I am soooo over bickering where to spend and who to spend the holidays with. Hopefully this year will not be as bad, however, I am really itching to spend it down in SLO at my Aunt's house. Christmas will fall on Friday, so I think it would be perfect to stay the weekend there or something... I love SLO, just not the drive getting there and back.

I got a two week winter break from school, so that means I am back at it again with homework and ish. Ugh. Thank goodness I am only taking one class this term. Environmental Science is hard, and my final is even harder. I have so much work to complete before we leave on the cruise January 30th. Fourteen assignments total, including two PowerPoint essays. OMG, it is stressful just thinking about it, but I know I will do fine. I always do.

Cruise, cruise, cruise.
Did I mention the cruise? I am getting more excited/nervous the closer our trip approaches. I have tons of packing and cleaning to do before we leave. However that does not stress me out as much as I thought it would. Probably because I am more worried about my homework getting done before I leave.

TWILIGHT!!
How did I almost forget to mention this??? I watched the movie early December and was hooked! I then bought the book, and was even more hooked. I have since read New Moon, and I am re-reading Twilight. I then dragged Daniel with me to see the movie again, poor guy but he did say that it is a good movie so he truly did not mind as much as I thought he would. I am saving the 3rd and 4th books (Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) for the cruise. I want to read them really really bad, but I have to focus and environmental science first. Boo-hoo. Priorities are not always my friend.

Well I am half way done with my Christmas shopping for Dan. I loooove being able to shop on the internet. Who knew that my shoppers bliss was just a click away! However Dan is one of the most easiest and hardest person to shop for. And with our small limit of spending cash this season, he became even harder to shop for. But with my shopping skills and his easy to please attitude, I should be okay. 'Tis the season!

Mr. Rabbit and Spuds

Please excuse the mess of our backyard... but hey it is our work in progress. Regardless Mr. Rabbit and Spuds found time to bond this afternoon, and broken concrete is the best place to catch up according to them!

And here are some of Spuds rolling around. He just loves concrete!

Starving Willow

Apparently Willow was out of food and Dan forgot to tell me until last night. So we went to Long's to get a large can of wet food and some crackers to mix in. Willow only eats dry food (as does Spuds) so you can imagine her delight to be served wet food for dinner. Spuds could not resist the wet food either, so they ended up fighting room in the bowl.

So sad, no more food left....

Being thankful in SLO...

We went down to San Luis Obispo for Thanksgiving. Great weather, wonderful family, and excellent food. What else do I need to be thankful for?!?!

Here is the view from my Aunt Lynda'a back window...

Aunt Karen tapping some keys!

Chasmo doing what he is second best at... (soccer being first!)

Watching some football...

Uncle Mike ...

All the family!!

Willow and Cubby: Round One

Please do not think that I abuse my animal or that my mothers cat is a bitch cat (which he is at times). Willow (dog) and Cubby (cat) do not always see eye to eye on the whole playing thing. Willow was curious with Cubby's play tunnel, and Cubby was itching to play... boxing style.

Please note the CLAW sticking out of her right lip... This was hilarious... and no animals were hurt in the making of these pictures...

Willow and the Cub man were playing and about 20 minutes later I notice the claw on her mouth... to funny for words... LMAO

It is so sad it is FUNNY.

Friends?

The nail... or what is left of it!

My first pie...

Well I attempted my first pie last night with high to moderate success. Before my grandma past away she taught me the ins and outs of pie making. Luckily, what she had taught me has still stuck with me. I have a few quirks to work out with my berries being ubber juicy, but other than that my pie was most excellent!!

Yep, I did it!!
