stupid stupid STUPID!

Ahh t....so....as many people who know me, already know.....I am a spaz most of the time. I am forgetful, and random things happen to me. I am currently in the middle of a pickle. I have lost my keys. Which...normally wouldnt be THAT big of a deal since I make certain I have plenty of spares, but....not work keys. I need to keep those seperate I guess! I was in seattle this weekend, and I had them clipped to my purse.....I did that so I wouldnt lose them. Carabeaners are pretty reliable right? So...I left them there. Well....some time during the weekend, I lost them, and I have no idea where. They must be and Eric and Christine's house, (my sibs), but they have looked with no luck. So that leaves me to believe that they are somewhere in the greater Seattle area.

Next...how do I get new work keys? I am HOPING that I can talk to the custodian at our building who is a nice, wonderful man, who....has gotten keys for me before, when I have lost them, one year ago. I am afraid to ask him....in fear that he will say no. They cant fire a teacher for losing keys right?...lets hope not....wish me luck.

Cribbage sucks!

I...HATE...LOSING. Anyone who knows me only a little bit knows that I CANT STAND TO LOSE. John and I had a long running game of cribbage a few years back, and I got killed....annihilated....mangled. So, i did what any sore loser does....I never played again. Until, Wapooti, and ulitmate tournament in Canmore, BC. Where, John and I played doubles cribbage with 2 of our friends, and I promptly got KILLED again. This only proved that I didthe right thing in quitting. Well...we were bored, after taking a hike with the dogs today, and it getting dark at 4:30 and all, I decided to play again....and lost. I am not sure if I will play cribbage again. Although I do like the competition, so that may not last very long, but as for now...no cribbage. I will just go back to reading Harry Potter.... :(

My nemisis....Halloween candy.

I HATE Halloween candy! Your first question is....How can anyone hate halloween candy??? I hate it because I love it thats why....I cant seem to get enough....I have lost all will power. I have been trying to lose weight, and get to spin class 3 or 4 days a week, with total days at the gym being 5 at least. I have been eating healthy, not eating any sweets....until....halloween. I dont know what it is!!! I cant control myself. I find myself eating it daily. Since halloween...I dont think I have gone a day without having at least 2 pieces. Pathetic I know. Today is the day. Mark my words. Today will be the day of no Halloween candy. I WILL break the cycle. I need to get back on track.

I always think about the holidays and how many pictures are taken...I always want to look good for those. However, no matter how good I THINK I look, the pictures always tell otherwise. Bummer. I will let you know how the pics look this year. Look for a post tonight to let you know if I succeeded in my quest for no Halloween candy.

My lovely niece

I have the privilige of living one mile from my only niece. Saray is 3 and a half. She is lovely. She LOVES my kittens. She tortures them ever so gently. By that I mean, she loves them to death, but is used to dogs, so she loves playing, and loving rough. She loves picking them up and playing with them. When John and I picked her up from daycare, she cried and said she didnt want to go home, but she wanted to come to my house and play with the kitties. We are watching her for the weekend. She is the sweetest girl in the world. She is so polite and kind. I have loved being a part of her life. And she LOVES John. She treats the kittens like dogs, asking them to fetch, and roughing them up. I love that kid.

I already started this blog.

Well....I have actually already started a blog, but...I have forgotten the website, and I have deleted emails. oops. This is basically what this blog is about...I should have had it be oops.blogspot.com, but alas hind sight is 2020, and I am not that cool to think that fast. :) This morning I was in the shower, and thinking of all the subjects that I could blog about.

Now I can only remember one....John and I both squeeze the toothpaste from the top. We will continue to do it until one of us cannot possibly get any more out. Then...someone must make the effort to squeeze all the toothpaste from the rest of the bottle, so we can continue with our dental hygiene. Isnt there something with compatability, and how one squeezes toothpaste. Oh well...it has worked for us for 2 years, so I am rolling with it.

We recently, in the past 4 months have aquired kittens. John has a knack for picking up random animals on trails. This summer, John "rescued" 7 cats....one mom and 6 kittens. He brought them home one night, and mind you, I was living in a STUDIO!!!! It took us 6 weeks to get rid of all the kittens, and I think I may have cried every day. We decided to keep 2 kittens, Moxy, and Peppin, short for Peppin's cat. ( We were hoping that if we named cats after friends, they would keep them...obviously that doesnt work.) I have grown to love these kittens, and so has John, even though we have never considered ourselves cat people. They are so querky really. Peppin loves to take showers. She will hang out in the shower and comes BOLTING when the water is turned on. I am not sure what her facination is. Moxy is so cuddly! She is all up in your business and loves to be pet by anyone and everyone.

So.....about a month ago, when John came home with a puppy...I said NO! We took the puppy to Michele and Stans ( My sis and brother in law) for some food. It is convenient that they live a mile away. Stan and saray were in love, and my sister had to give in. So...John's parents have a cat from us, his sister has 2, and my sister now has a dog. We are running out of family members to give animals to, so I hope he stops finding them... He is so sweet though, my humanitarian. :)
