Oh How I Miss It!

I miss it ever so much!!! The warm sun beating on my face...the warm (well it didn't feel that warm then but I'm sure it would now) sand on my feet...the good times with friends I don't see often enough...dutch blitz...vacation...and I was just trying to upload more pictures but my computer wouldn't let me again! :( sorry! I'll try again some other time!

Kenzie..."Nutriferon"

Kenzie is promoting Shaklee's Nutriferon...she was getting sick and they gave her Nutriferon :)

Snow, Snow, and More Snow!!!

So, that snow I was talking about the other day...here's the proof for y'all :) Like I said, I couldn't really see my car!

This is our front sidewalk...notice the snowbanks are almost as tall as me...which doesn't take much I suppose :)


There's my poor little car and the shovel I used to dig myself out. It's a good thing the bank opened late that day because I needed that time to clean off my car!





I went to Brad & Dee's today after work and Sam & I dug out a snow fort for Kayleigh in their massive snowbank. I was asking Sam how it got that high, cause it didn't really make sense to me since his plow can't go up that high and then I realized that it just keeps piling up...but anyway, that's not the point of the story and that just made me sound really dumb. The point of the story is Kayleigh's response to my question. She says "Um I think that's because it snowed all night the other night" completely serious :)


Now I know this last picture looks really disgusting like a dog peed in the snow but it's actually completely clean never-been-touched snow with pure New York maple syrup poured over it...you should all try it sometime, it's AMAZING! Kayleigh, Kenzie, Sam and I had a little snack when we came in. Kenzie had just woken up from her nap and we were giving it to her and after every bite she would say "I like snow" :)

Snow Day!!!

...well a partial snow day. The bank gave us a "snow line" to call this morning to find out if the bank is closed. So when I woke up this morning over an hour early I called the "snow line" and it said something completely foreign to me...definitely nothing about snow. So I took a shower...then I called the "snow line" again and what do you know? The bank is opening at 11! It's exciting cause I get part of the day off...but if they would have updated their "snow line" a little earlier I could have slept in since I don't ever get to any more :( Oh well...I get to do a blog post now :)

We have about 18 1/2 inches at our house but a couple of those inches were from a couple other storms. I currently can't see my car at all...which means it's going to take a good 20 minutes to clean it all off. My gas tank is almost empty which means I'd better make it to the end of the road to fill up! My car is surrounded with at least a foot of snow which means I have to shovel myself out. I have to work all the way in Manchester today which means it's probably going to take me at least an hour to get there with the snow :( I've been out of the shower for almost an hour which means my hair is getting really dry and I really need to go do it before it's completely dry and won't go up :)

Have a great snow day to everyone in CT and everyone in IL...all I have to say is sorry you're missing out!

Nice Try!

Well I tried to upload some more FL pictures and it's still not working for me. I think I need to take advantage of the benefit I get working at Rockville Bank...a new computer. They will reimburse me for $300 of a new computer! :) I'll keep trying, but I'll probably have to move the pictures over to my Mom's computer and finish my post from there. I don't have time tonight, though seeing as I'm babysitting 2 little crazy munchkins :)

Have a great rest of the week and weekend! I can't wait til this week is over! It's not been too fun at work this week...but it's almost over!!!! :)

Sunshine State 2011

So I put these pictures on my computer and realized that I have a folder for FL 2009, FL 2010, and FL 2011. I've really come to like vacationing in Florida apparently :) We took (I shouldn't say we because I didn't take NEARLY as many as everyone else) SO MANY pictures! A lot of the pictures are thanks to Sarah who has an awesome camera and takes great pictures. Julie and Jessica also took a lot of pictures, so many thanks to them too :) I'm just gonna put up the ones that I like most...which happen to be a lot. I would put more if I could but I'm affraid that would take too long! I'll try to make this as much of a picture post as possible and leave words out :)

On my first full day down there we went parasailing...I've wanted to go parasailing for a loooong time and I haven't found anyone to go with me. I guess I mostly tried my brother and brother-in-law and they have already gone and didn't really want to spend the money again. It isn't cheap but it is so worth it! The view was absolutely AMAZING! It was a tad scary when the metal clips would creak and we were who knows how many feet above the ocean, but we made it safely back on the boat and that's all that matters I guess :)


Julie and Jessica went up together and they asked to get dunked...well not dunked all the way, just to their waist. Sarah and I only got our feet dipped :)


We were on the beach one evening to watch the sunset and we realized that if we stood in the wet sand for long enough we started sinking. So Sarah and I sunk ourselves a few inches each and made Jessica look like a giant :)




Well, my post is going to be cut short :( My computer is only letting me upload my first 5 pictures...after that it does the same thing it was doing to me with my igloo pictures. Maybe if I shut my computer down and try again tomorrow it will work...hopefully. I have so many pictures to put on of FL and of our igloo, so keep checking and hopefully my computer will cooperate with me!

Off to the Sunshine State!

I'm heading out in a couple of hours to the Sunshine State :) The only problem the weather isn't that great. It's supposed to be in the 60's and some days even in the high 50's...I just have to keep reminding myself that it's gonna be better than here :)

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures to share and hopefully when I get back my computer will be cooperating better with my igloo pictures. Sarah and I made an igloo a week ago Saturday and I tried blogging them but my computer just wasn't wanting to do it! So keep checking (but not until after next Saturday) and hopefully I'll have lots of new pictures to share!

Hope everyone enjoys their week (in the chilly snow if I might add :))
