July 5th 2011

I am so blessed just got back from a vacation with my Hubby Marvin, Daughter Shelly, Grandson Devlin... and I am telling you I had the best time ever... there was some times where I got upset with Marvin on the way he acted at times I finally reminded him that this was his vacation and if he wanted to do something if he didn't tell us we would not know...  which worked he got a little upset more if we didn't keep him in coffee and remembering when to tell us to stop for his smoke but when we did he always thought we was in a hurry to leave which we never was.. then the times he saw us what he thought was wasting money I have to remind him I had the money.... since we had to not do our trip to Omaha we came back with some money and that made him happy.  I got so many pictures to help me remember on the long weeks of working...

But I think we all had fun I know that Marvin and I had so much fun.... we didn't drive much which was nice we could look around and I could snap pictures which I don't take pictures... but Shelly and Devlin gave me a camera for my 55th birthday and it is so nice so I'm taking it to the hotel tonight so I can learn how to use it... 

Yellow Stone was so wonderful... we was in the car most of those first 6 days but we can always make car ride fun.. we did the finding things with the ABCs which I would like to be sure everyone the I WON... I'm just saying....the place we stayed at in Cheyenne wasn't the best place but it was all right for me and marvin... I don't think shelly and devlin liked it much but we had a nice place to sleep for a few hours and a free breakfast and ice... the drive to yellowstone starting to see the mountain was so excieting... the cabin in Cody WY wasn't bad it might have been because we had a good bed poor shelly was on a twin size bunk bed she found out how much she moved at night and we heard a few times that Devlin moved....but I know we all had fun and we got pictures of every animal except.... MOOSE and Wolf not seeing the Moose was bad and it gave us something to laugh about the rest of the trip.... I think I remember it coming up on the Day from HELL.... but we did finally get a rent a car, since Shelly has to go back up there to get her car we rented it because she can bring it back..when she picks up her car.
I can not believe that yellow stone is one big Volcano all the geysers around do you know that if that who place goes up at once we would have a hell of a mess..  it made me sad when we saw the burnt areas but then you see the new growth because of the fires it makes it better... to see the beauty of that place I am so happy we went.  The 4th day in Cody, WY we went to town and saw the miniture town which was awsume then we went to the Buffalo Bill Cody hitsory center and it was bigger then we thought and worth the money it cost to get in there... but I know I was and I think everyone else was tired by the time we got out of there... next to the cowboy gunfight for free in downtown Cody, and all I can say is it is a good thing it was free the ones that Silver Dollar City does in the square is alot better...we had a good mexican dinner don't remember the name but it is downtown and they talk about it at the gunfight... that made for the last day at Cody,WY the next day we was on the way to Rapid City, SD and it was starting to look pretty again the mountains was coming up then I got behind the wheel (I don't think my driving did anything) we was going up a big moutain biggest one we had and there was a big slow truck in front of us and I past it that is when the wrench and the suspention control light came on and we was not sure about it, we got out the book and found out that it meant that the car was confussed about the 4 wheel drive... so first turn off which shelly said is when the elevation was 9300 or some high number like that we pulled off and decided to turn it off I was afraid but we did it and wow we hated that we did it because it won't start we opened the hood and looked of course being so high I think we was above the towers Shelly started walking to find a cell signal and marvin Devlin and I sit and tried to figure out what they could do.. Devlin kept reading the book and looking finally he looked at the fuses and one way loose and we tried to start it and it worked and no lights we headed off to pick up Shelly and she had walked a long way.  Not to long after this the lights was back on and then the check engine light... we still had no cell phone service so we choose to keep going... Here is something I would like to ask who ever is reading this... If you are driving someplace where you know you don't have cell phone service if you saw someone that has the hood open and exspecialy if you stop at the same place that this car is would you ask if there is anything you can do? ...... Well we didn't have any one stop and the the two cars of people that pulled into the pull off spot we was in and didn't ask I would like to say somethings to you.... anyway we made it to one town and to the auto shop but they didn't seem to have time to talk to us they was talking on the phone with someone.. Shelly was talking to her insurance that she bought with the car she has had for 35 days they told her to go to a Ford Dealer... Devlin went in and asked the mechanic where the Ford mechanic was and it was over in the next town so we went off towards that town we called the Ford Dealer first and they told me that they couldn't look at it to find out what was wrong for 2 weeks.... what I couldn't believe they couldn't hook it up to the machine to find out if the lights was something bad then he said he could hook it up but they needed a machnic to see what was wrong and that would be at least 1 week... Ok what is a person suppose to do when you are finishing your vacation and you don't have 2 weeks left... we called everyone 11 auto shops in Sheridan WY and no one could look at it for 2 weeks.... busy lots of out of towner with car problems..... But when we pulled off on exit 25 since that was where most machnics was the car died..... shelly pulled over and there was a city worker that stopped mowing and came over to ask if we had a cell phone and was all right.... Shelly finally found C&C auto that came and looked at it and called the boss that brought a tow truck to take it to the shop to hook it to a machine was not going to gty anything but would look at it.... More then the 11 or more people we called... this was about 1 and at 7 oclock we ended up getting a motel room..... The car would need a new transmission and guess what?  You got it.... two weeks before it could be done.... DOES EVERYONE KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING FASTER.... but we really liked these people at CC auto they stayed opened until 7:00 2 hr after they closed and gave us a ride to the hotel they also worked with insurance which they didn't normally since the insurance companies didn't like to pay but they did... when we got to the hotel we had talked to everyone in Sheridan, WY tring to rent a car 1 way...which no one does and sorry don't know how you are going to get home...... we had dinner at the hotel which was very expensive but our grandson being the young man he is bought our Dinner and that was so nice of him.... Thanks Devlin... we went back worked on computers tring to find out what we could do, we finally found that bus tickets back to wichita was the only way... we went to sleep decided that at 9pm the next day we would get on the bus and go home...the next day we got up went to a great free breakfast that was good.... nice hotel if you find your in Sheridan WY which I would tell you to get away fast then the Best Western on 216 N Main you need to stay there not cheap but nice..... I did get the room for at least 1pm which helped being that the bus didn't leave until 9 that night.. and we did find out it stopped at a quick shop so no place to wait... what to do with out a car all day long... Robert my son started working on getting a van to come get us.... we kept thinking about what to do and then it came rent a round trip van.... Shelly had to come back so we figured how much it would cost us just as much to rent a mini van round trip and then we could go to Mt Rushmore since we was so close.... so we checked and guess what we could do that.... we all ready lost 1 day on hotel since we was stuck in Sheridan Wy the town from HELL and by the way most of the people in Sheridan are rude...... they claim they are a vacation town but they don't know how to treat the people that have car trouble in their town so be careful if you go to the town....at 12:30 the next day we did get the mini van rented our stuff in and at about 1 or after we was on the way to Mt Rushmore to finish our vacation.... we all felt better was leaving the town from Hell behind us.... we got to Rushmore by that evening looked around and even went to Crazy Horse and watched the night show there we missed Mt Rushmore's night show because it had started to rain and we thought it would keep raining it didn't and I wish we would have stayed but we was at Crazy Horse so we stayed for that one... we went to the hotel that we had missed one night at but got to stay one day it was a nice room and we had a good breakfast the lady that checkec us in that night was the nicest one that shelly had talked to at that place so the next morning the manager happened to have his door opened so shelly went and gave him a talk about his staff....  we got back into the van and headed back to wichita but first a day at Wall Drug in SD which is a tourist trap and all kinds of shopping.... marvin said he found out that shelly, Devlin and I only got tired of shopping when we ran out of shops.... after Wall Drug we started to the Car Henge in NE it is a neat place to go it is free but don't forget your bug spray..... after the pictures of that and now the long drive to Wichita,  Marvin of course wanted to save the 40 dollars and drive straight thru which would have gotten us to Wichita at 8:30 am Shelly and I decided we could aford a room and stayed at a howard johnson not sure what town but it was 2 in the morning and we wanted to get an early start back but another good breakfast free at the hotel and on our way the last day we stopped at Gothenburg, NE and saw the first Pony Express Post that was a nice stop and then back in the car.....  we finally made it back to Wichita around 2 that afternoon and had planned to sleep for 2 hours and then go out to Thalene's my sisters and enjoy the 4th of July celebration.... it was so nice to be with the family and fireworks was great and then back to Shelly's that night when I was asleep shelly decrorated for my birthday and even went out and got me an ice cream cake so we had Ice cream cake for my birthday breakfast......   Shelly took us to Best Buy so she could buy me a camera which is great thanks shelly... Marvin and I headed back to MO we had a great drive home and we was glad to be back in our little house.  On the 4th I did laundry unpacked everything went to the grocery store and came home and had a night BBQ and relaxing evening at home... Today we go back to work and I am looking forward in seeing everyone at the hotel... Thanks for reading about my vacation and I hope for those of you that are taking a vacation have fun no matter what happens and for those of you like us that have not taken a vacation in years do it..... you are missing out I found that out....

I will try to remember to write on this when I can... but I won't be worried about it.....well going to stay inside until 3 after General Hospital and then go out and see if my car needs washed again.. not sure what time Devlin is coming home so I will probably have dinner later so it will hot or at least warm.. I might call later and see what time...

6-17-11

Thank you for this wonderful day... woke up next to Marvin got the rest of the housework done and still have 7 hours before I have to do anything but drive to the bank...
I came out on the porch this morning before my shower and sit with Marvin for a few minutes wow is it nice to live far enough out of city limits where you can do that. Then when marvin went to work I got my lemon cheesecake shake and drank it on the porch... got my NRG Tea and back at the porch... swept and sit for a while longer but battery is dieing need to get in to the plug...ok have my contacts in and drinking my aloe now... wondering if I want to go to the bank this morning before the rain comes but looking darker might be to late I might wait until this afternoon and see what happens....ok talked myself into that...lol 
wow just opened an old email and thought it was new went into print and noticed what happened at least I did it before I printed...
well I think I am going to drive to the bank and get that out of the way....

my views

Ok Marvin just left and so fox news is on and I love to get my news from here but I DO NOT listen to it all day but to the point... imagine that from me.... About this Weiner that is all about it now.... ok we all know what he did... and do you know I really don't care about it right now... when we vote we can work to get things to be better but if so old dude wants to make a fool of his self.... when he knows he is in the public life... this tells me he is ready to change his life.. it is not the way I would of or would tell anyone to... but he choose to do this and so stop giving him the publicity .... Do you know when people talk it is the best Advertisement a person can get.... do you know that we all are salesmen.... I sale myself every minute I open my eyes every morning... Ok sorry I am just now drinking my shake this morning so my shake is what gets my mind, body, soul, starting the day making it the best day of my life..... life is so short and so I have learned to live with what I am given and do the best I can to live in God's way. 
Now I have had my shake and tablets... I have moved outside and enjoying this beautiful day...and I'm drinking my NRG tea and thinking about what I am going to do today.... Marvin has gone to work Devlin is at his popo's and I am off to work this afternoon to Ye Olde English Inn I love working there and I always want to love my job I don't ever want to get where I do not want to go to work... when I get to that spot I always change the directions I am taking... The way thing I will not be in the middle of is a power war... I love to listen and I will but I do not and will not take sides.... and this is something I always try not to do... if you have a problem I think we all should put our heads together and figure out the what is best for us all.....the thing I don't understand are the lairs the people that wants the most attention...why must they lie I had my time where I told stories which had more make believe then truth... I still tell stories about how I know people who have had great results with Herbalife.... but the biggest difference is that I will not tell any thing but the Facts... but it is a sad thing to see all the people that have not grown out of or learned the difference between a lie and the truth...
Now for my burning of calories my Raspberry tea is doing this.  I will be buring 70-100 calories with this glass of tea and the energy that I will have all day. 
Ok back to this day everything is wet from the morning rain guess there was a strom that went thur this morning power was off when we got up....slept right thur.. all the trees are so green and I can here all the birds and squirrels.. the hum of a truck in the distance but the flies are thick so sorry to say I moved back into the house.. changed the lanudry and now watching a movie.   Now becomes the count down on getting everything done, while relaxing before I go to the inn for the night.. I wonder if the Pub will be opened tonight.... When is the grand opening of the pub? 
I guess I will end this and get some stuff done... oh one more thing...

UUGGHH!!!!!!!!!!  JUST 10 MORE DAYS BEFORE VACATION AND I have not opened my suitcase..... I will never be ready in time.... ha ha haha

exceitment

ok there was this guy that walked in tonight wanting a room at the inn but we must have been to expensive for him... I don't think he was drunk he was drinking water said he was from Arkansas and he seemed a little wierd.  He left didn't think anything about it, then my guest come in about 10:30pm when the bartender left after 11 she heard someone groan so she came into get her boss to walk to the car with her and that is when they saw this man face down in the street all bloody (well I don't think they knew that until they turned him over) they called 911 and all the ambulance, fire, cops came and when they turned him over saw that he was all bloody and had lost alot of blood not sure what happened I don't think he was drunk he walked up and down these stairs good thing he didn't fall down these stairs we would have been responsable then.... Ann the bartender was telling the ambulance he had been there since 10 I told her no the people with the car he was by didn't come in until 10:30 and they would have seen him and would have almost hit him so we knew it had to be after that... we was hoping he was not desperate enough to hurt himself to have a place to stay.  I guess he just walked off the curb but I still am not sure he was drunk could have been which makes me think when I took him up and down the stairs wow I could have had him hurt in here.... 
Well I was so tired before and now I'm not so I guess I will stay up for a little bit....
I might go into the room and turn on the tv to see if that will make me tired....
good night

saturday night

Ok I have been at the Inn since 3 and all the restaurant servers are gone and the bar is about to close and so I just can't wait for that so I can go up to bed...  There is a couple here that checked in this afternoon they was staying at LaQuinta last night and hated it and was going to just leave town but they made a wrong turn and drove into Hollister and saw the Riverstone Restaurant decided to eat here and then Jeremiah told him to check out our rooms.... they did and told us our cold coffee was better then the warm coffee at LaQuinta's and they loved the room.  They are staying in the Blue suite which is the one I love and just came out and asked if this was unusally that we didn't have more people.  Told her we didn't have that many yet we still didn't have the word out good and she said they would tell everyone because they loved it... everyone that stays loves it... so maybe we will be getting busier... we still have 3 FEMA people staying so as long as they stay we will be haveing the overnight shift which makes me have to spend the night 1 day a week and that is all right the beds are great.  Marvin doesn't like me not coming home but it is just 1 night now so it isn't a big deal.

Devlin is staying with us until we go on vacation helping Marvin take down the old trailer.  He is doing a great job helping I don't know if he thinks it is worth it I hope I will be able to save some money that I can give him to spend on vacation.  We went to SDC last thursday and I will take him someplace this next week or I might just see if he wants to save the money for the vacation but I think he likes being able to do somthing....

Wow the Bar closed so now I can go lock my door and go upstairs and get ready for bed... I am so tired probably won't be able to sleep but if not I will just write on this some more....
Night

Saturday

Summer is finally here the weather is hot and muggy I love it... I did finally turn on the A/C so we could cool off a little... My grandson is here helping Marvin get rid of this old trailer on the property.  They are doing a good job, this morning they have mowed the grass and now they are resting before starting on the trailer.  But I started a movie so they are watching it so we will see when they get out there but I will not say anything since I am not out there working in the hot. 
Had a choc peanut butter shake this morning and not sure what one I will have for lunch.  Going to go to work at Ye Olde English Inn I work there part time so I could save money for the vacation we will be going on at the last of the month.... I am so exceited about it, we are going to Yellow Stone Park and Mt rushmore and I have never been there and I am looking forward to going... 
Hope you have a great day....
and don't forget to take your Herbalife today and if you are not taking Herbalife you need to get with me and start you will feel so much better and we can do it on your budget....

March 20th 2011 First Day of Spring

Wow it has been a while since I have been on this blog not that is matters no one reads it and that is fine. Because this is a place I can keep a log of what happens in my daily life...

If you are reading this thank you for care enough to found out about me..

This morning and what a wonderful day I was with the love of my life Marvin my husband.. after he went to work I left the doors open got my wii and went to netflix and found the dance show that I have learned and started to do when I say learn that is what I'm doing did 30 minutes and now I am on the couch typing on this.. but I will be doing no less then 30 minutes a day to get to where I can do this whole show. 
Went to SDC friday and had a good time got to see people I have known for years and like Martha told me it has been 15 yrs since Martha and I met.  Hadn't realized I have been in Missouri that long... 
One thing I want to make sure everyone know what you should be doing every day... when you wake up have a shot of Aloe to fix your insides and then have your morning shake to get you started don't forget your vitamins and water that water is so important it helps wash all the gunk out of your body... this may sound gross but if you are not talking about poop and how you need to have a good poop like Dr Oz says you should be.... then you can have a clean body so you can fill it again today.. we all need to get our body started so don't forget to do some strecthing and then the exercise of your choice mix it up like I do then you don't get tired of this... I have also like I said going to start going to SDC since I love that place and the people and I get in free this is the best place to get my walking done... so buy you a season pass if you don't get in for a good price now. 
Ok it is post like this that I am not sure I care if anyone reads this since when I write here things just pour out of my head and they are sometime all jumbled....

Friday 2-4-11

Well another wonderful day.... some might not think so with the snow still on the ground but it isn't as cold today.  Looking for more snow showers today.  I'm not wanting them but the weather men say it is coming.  I still have not left the house but I really don't care I enjoy staying home and looking out at the cold... I wish my hubby could do that but we are not able for him to do that I have a wonderful hubby that wants me to work part time so I can spend full time on my business which is great and it does help pay the bills... The nice thing is that I have been able to stay at home and out of the cold and I have been making money....

Well didn't have much to say just wanted to write a few words since I was sitting here looking out at of my office window at the red birds out side... my husband said on his way home yesterday he saw a bunch of Crazy Birds.... there was a bunch on Robins.... wow they was lost.....

Have a Happy and Healthy Day

Feb 3rd I think

Well the snow is still here but I don't mind since I don't have to go but I wish Marvin didn't have to go.  He hates the cold... snow is the worse I know all he has to do is choose not to go but won't... so I Love Him and I just keep the home Happy some times I get pissing is the best way I think to say it... but I try my best to make him not remember it is winter out when he comes home..
Enough of that I would like to get some people over to the house for a Health meeting.... we would have aloe-tea-breakfast-tea-lunch-tea  then we could exercise with Dr. Luigi, netflix, wii.  we could give ourselves facial's, we could just sit and talk about what to make for dinner.... so now I need to come up with a place to advertise so I will get people that want to do the same thing..... Tuesday's would be good after 10 am and before 5 pm and daytime is all good for me.
