I did it, got the 2nd coat of paint done. Looks so good. So now I have to get the blue paint off the wood trim. Dido gave me an idea. I am going to buy some brown paint and water it down and go over all the trim in that room. It will look much better. I also need to touch up the ceiling. Done with painting. Some blinds and all done. I am excited about being done with one room and being able to stage it. On to the next room.
When I get done, I am going to be so proud of me and all that I have accomplished. Amazing. Someone is going to love my house. The yard a different story but at lease I can work on that when the inside is done. I need to paint the trim. My thinking is pay a guy from work to paint the sides of the house which are high and where ever else it is high and do the rest myself. I got a quote of $1250.00 but cant afford that.
Did find my sink for $27.00. So now got to get the faucets and sink replaced. Will make the call this week to see when this guy I found is available.
Crazy I will have the house where I want it and then move out. Isnt that always the way.
Missing my man. He is hanging out with some guy he knew from up here from construction. Thats kool. Cant wait to see him on Friday.
I have been enjoying some beer today, my favorite, Alaskan Amber. I am thinking about going to Karen's place and have more later. Not sure yet.

Its Sat!!!
I am so happy its Sat. I got to sleep in and now I feel for the 1st time all week alitte rested. Not so damn tired.
I am about to get dress and go get the rest of the paint I need for all 3 rooms ready to paint. As soon as I get back then the sunroom will be the 1st thing on my list. I am ready to be done painting that room. So off to home depot to also look at buying my sink for the bathroom and look at blinds and sliders for the furniture. So when JJ comes and helps me with the furniture and tv in my room then it will be easy on both of us.
Wish me luck!

Very positive
I have to say that everyone from my friends and fellow bloggers have given me such a positive note on all this. It makes me really feel like I have made the right decision in saying yes to JJ. I feel so happy and excited and secure. I feel a calmness that helps me just relax. It is defiately a bright spot in my life right now.
Unfortuately there was an article in the paper on the process of the proceedings w/ Jr's case. There will a hearing on April 8th for the last kid and it is about him making plea bargain against the kid who supposely shot jr. I make sure I am being politically correct even thought it is what is. The doctor's kid got a new lawyer so it is going to slow things. The kidin jail at his last hearing had 25 to 30 kids there. That is absolutely amazing. They are supporting a kid who was part of planning a murder. He was the kid who got the crap beat out him. This whole thing still saddens my heart and still brings tears to my eyes. It is just very sad. To read the article it brings back the memory of the whole thing. Something that we will live with for the rest of our lives. I will truely be glad when the trials and moving is behind us so we can move on with our lives and start the healing process. It feels like you cant heal from this because of what is still left to deal with. It just sucks. Crazy Crazy!!!
Well anyway there is my happy and sad feelings for the day. Onto a happier note I am about to go get dress to go to bunko. The theme is super heroes and all I could come up with and most people came up with are t-shirts. I found a batman tshirt marked down. tshirt and jeans. Next month I am the sponsor and it will be a prom theme. That will be easier to find something. Dido is going to be the incredible hulk. Cant wait to see her's. She is very creative.
Thanks again for all your support. I do know I am making the right decision in saying yes. I feel it in my heart!

Crazy day Crazy Day
I worked in Preop today which translates into getting people for surgery, all kinds, ages, sizes ready. And things just were crazy. I be told to get someone ready with in 30 mins and then they dont go in 30 mins or they dont do them til later and have to take them back to their room. The craziness started at 6am and finally for me ended at 2pm. I was exhausted. We were tired tired people. Well after wards Dido and I went to the Aquaplex that was built last winter of 08 when JJ lived here. He poured Concrete in the middle of winter, cold snowy weather. That place was a bitch to have made. So Dido and I went and use the pool and jacuzzi area. It was very nice. They have a upstairs cardio and weight place, a basketball and volley ball court and a room for classes. Nice simple Locker room. Goes out into the pool area. YOu walk out and they way they did it was very cool. All areas interlaced, kitty pool, lazy river that you can tube down, lap area, and the jacuzzi. 102 degrees, oh my god, Got my $5.00 worth for just using it. Well what is cool they have a tube you can go thru. YOu walk up some stairs, 2 at a time, and lay on your back and go foot first. Well what is really cool is it goes outside the building and then when you exit you exit back into the pool. When we did it the 1st time you are going thru this tube a long ways, where you almost get claustraphobic, but then you going and going around the curves and some what at a downward angle and then splash. We did it again. So fun. We felt like little kids doing that. The max weight was 300 lbs.
I decided I could get a 3 month membership, cancell my jazzercize membership and do that. $105.00. I could go right after work. Work out and then off to the jacuzzi at the end. I would get alot more use out of it then jazz right now. The jucuzzi would be so worth the membership. I feel like jellow. The second time we got in the jacuzzi Dido suggests a tequila shot to commemmerate our fun. I said alright, sounds good to me. But the place right by there was close down. So we went just down the street to Fratellis. Good pizza. Alaskan amber on tap. 2 of those and pesto cheese stixs that was more like pizza. Perfect way to end the day of craziness.
We ran into my hair dressers husband who lose his son a week before we did and he is a detective here and has worked on the case. He is also a dallas cowboy fan. We sat and visited and I thanked him for all of his hard work and his departments hard work. It made me very teary eyed. He understood and told me I was welcomed.
But anyway I am home having a glass of wine. I am off tomorrow and dont have to get up. Put my trash can on the street for the am so I dont have to get up early to do that. I am sleeping in.
I miss my honey. He ended up working all night til 3pm. He is home sleeping. He is a tired pup. I miss him alot right now. I told him to bring the girls up here and we can take them there, Cheap. $5.00 for each of us and $4.00 for the kids to use.
I am hoping by this fall I am down in phoenix. My house is sold, the trials are over, and I have a job and we found a house to rent. We could have our 1st christmas in our new place together. That would be the best Christmas present ever. Its going to be all new and fun. I see my future and I have to wear shades because it will be so bright. LOL>
Tomorrow like I said I am sleeping in, having my weekend creamer with coffee. Waking up slowly. Then get in the work mode.
My list is:
1) get the last of the stuff out of the guess bedroom
2) Clean out the hall closet, pack and donate, or throw away.
3) Clean my frickin room.
4) Call the plumber to come on Sat to change out all the faucets, shower and tub heads, and put in a new bathroom sink.
5) I now have something to work towards. My future and moving on to a new life. Woohoo how exciting.
I still cant believe I am engaged and have a commitment in my life. The shock is wearing off alittle. Wow. Amazing! Something I said I would ever do again. HMMMMMMM. Never say never.

Committment
Biker, I tried to call you at your house but you didnt answer and I didnt have your cell phone. I wanted to tell you this on the phone but here I go.
Well I am excited and still alittle in shock but my honey proposed to me sat nite. I was not expecting that at all. We came home after going out Sat to the barbeque and were going to bed and he said Letera, Will you Marry me. I went whattttttttt. I just looked at him and he got really close to me so he could look into my eyes and said please Marry me. I love you so much, please say yes. I said why do you want to marry me. He said we are good together. I told him I cant do this right now. It would be later on. We have to get thru this year of me selling my house and the trials. Then we could get a place together and live together. After he was so sweet. I never took my eyes away from his and I said, yes I will be your wife. He said its official we are engaged. No ring right now so its more of a committment towards our future. He then went on to saying how his family loves me and his girls love me and he wants to meet my mom and dad and talk to them about being with me. He wants us to send out invitations so that everybody could be there. He didnt do that the last time and he wants to do it right. I was so touched. He also mentioned how he knows he screwed up and how he hurt me and never wants to ever hurt me again. He wants to spend the rest of his life with me. We both love each other so much. I really believe its meant to be. So I now know where my future is going. And it will be most likely Phoenix for now. That might be the safest and with the girls being there then it would be a good thing. Temporary.
We had a fabulous weekend together. We enjoyed each other in every way imaginable well almost. lol. It sucked having to leave on Sunday. We didnt want our time together to end. This will soon be a blur.
So anyway there you go, I am engaged. Wow. Never thought I would ever think of doing this again. Crazy! I will probably be around 51 to 52 when I do it. I am following in my friend Val's footsteps. She is married to a man 15 years her younger and she got married at 50. She is very happy.
Well off to chill on the couch.

Sat am
I got sleep in and JJ is at work til around 1pm. He couldnt pass up the work. I got here yesterday and its been wonderful. Lots and lots of great sex. made dinner together and went out for just a few beers. Today at the Wunderinn is a barbeque for spring and I am going to go to the store and make deviled eggs. He will be home around 1pm. the party is around 2 ish. So I am going to get dressed and go to the store. I also need to go to big lots to look for a bowl to mix the mixture in and a couple of cheap plastic platters. Something inexpensive and dont care what happens with it.
JJ might be surprizing me with tickets to go to this festival in Tempe to go see Kid
Rock at Tempe Town lake for my birthday. He doesnt do well in large crowds so if he does this it says alot.
Well off to get dress and go to the store. Temps are only going to be in the mid 80's . Love it.

bad girl
I was a bad girl today. My head was bothering me last nite and I didnt get much sleep so when the alarm went off at 4:30 this morning I couldnt get up. So I called into work. Our schedules are very small this week and by 10am they were sending people home. Dido called me and I told her I felt bad because other people dont miss work because of it but I didnt have it in me.
She is coming over later to bring me the mattress and box spring. Yea. So now I have time to do more packing. I need to vacumn because my carpet is looking gross right now. Between the dogs and myself packing there has been alot of dust. So I will get my vacumning done today and then do more packing.
It will be in the upper 60's today and then its going to start getting cold and by Sunday more snow. Crazy. The lows are going to be 18degrees. Crazy. It defiately confuses the plant life.
I am excited to get some more packing done out of the guess bedroom. Clean out the closet of things. I have to say I have gotten rid of alot of stuff this last couple of years that there is not much in there, thank god. It should be easy. I have a computer desk to get rid of but need to clean it out 1st of papers, etc. I am going to get Dido to help me move the desk into the front room so I can clear out that room to paint.
I watched the housewives of New York City. I decided I like the wives of Orange county better. The woman in New York are just to much. They are all about where they are in the social circles and what schools their kids go to and who they know and if they are going to get their picture in the social magazines. I like one girl on there who isnt married but wants to be and she has this guy who seems like a great guy. The rest I just look at and think are you all for real. Nothing down to earth about them. Crazy. I am so funny on how I love these shows. I know they are stupid and just not real even though they are reality shows. I cant help it, I am addicted to them. I admit it, I have a problem. lol.
Well off to check my email and get my butt in gear. I hope everyone is having a good day!

Packing
OMG I have been packing up stuff and putting stuff in a pile to get rid of. Amazing just cleaning out the buffet what I am coming across. Old pics. Pics from when my friends from Tx came to visit with their daughters and we went site seeing. I have a box that I have put aside to send to the ex of some of his stuff I am coming across so if there were pics of him and hotrod or pics of him I am sending those to him. Dont want them. I came across this indian peace pipe I made in ceramics. Came out beautiful but I looked at the bottom and there was a note To Terry I love you, Letera 93. Carved in the bottom of it. I called JJ and he said can you see it if your not looking at it I said no then dont worry about it. Keep it. I didnt want to take anything into my new life that had to do with him but I love this and I did a great job on it. So I packed it to keep it.
I ran out of paint and I need to wait til next payday to buy more paint so instead I am packing up stuff. I will really make a dent if I can just keep going thru stuff. So for the next week or so I am packing stuff up. Then I can get to painting in a week and a half. No biggie. At lease there is stuff to do. It is very freeing to get rid of stuff. I am so glad I am doing it now and not waiting.
It has been absolutely gorgeous out. low 70's, sunny. About to change though, going to get cold again by Sunday thru out next week. Oh well. A few of us were joking on Monday how this is our 1 week of spring and then we get the windy crapy weather.
Alright back to packing.

Alright back to packing.
Forgo the festivities
I forgo the festivities of St Patty's day to paint the 1st coat of paint in the sunroom and I am so glad. I cant believe the difference in the room. Went from a bold blue to tan. This morning I cant believe the difference in how inviting the room is now. Very calming. I used almost a gallon of paint to do the 1st coat so I need to go buy another gal of paint. So that tells me that the 2 bedrooms that I still need to paint will take 2 gals each. Damn. Oh well.
I am moving slowly today. Tired. I have had my morning coffee. So that has helped. Going to eat a bowl of cereal and get started on the day of painting. I know even after the 2nd coat I will need to touch up the ceiling and some other areas. No biggie. It will be worth it. I also will spray paint the wicker chair and table to put in there. With some new blinds and the wicker w/ a lamp and a plant in that room. It will be very inviting. Excited about finishing that room.
I was at Dido's yesterday and she is getting rid of a box spring and mattress from a day bed. I am going to take it. Its a twin size so I can go to a use store and look for a base with a head board, nothing to expensive and use that in the guess bedroom. Will make the room look bigger and stage that room. Oh I love HGTV. So many great ideas.
In fact yesterday I was at work and we have this volunteer who answers the phone. She is a retired math teacher. She got her pilots license since she has retired. I think she is in her late 60's. I like her alot but we were talking about what I am doing to the house and I mentioned about staging and she asked who is going to stage it for you, are you hiring someone. I said heck no, I am doing it myself. I watch alot of HGTV. I had to laugh. That channel is awesome.
Monday was Mojito Monday. A group of us went downtown to this place called rendevous where they have $5.00 Mojito's on Monday. One of the anesthesiologist showed up and he ended up picking up our tab. We invited him to our next one on the 30th. Told him we were going to celebrate my birthday and we would buy him a drink or two or 3. He was the floorwalker the next day so we all thanked him. I think the next time I see him I am going to buy him a cup of coffee from late from the train. I didnt like him when he 1st started but he has grown on us at work.
My neighbor left to go see her husband graduate from the fbi school in Washington DC or virginia, which ever state it is in. He has been gone for the last several months. I am happy for them. They plan on trying to sell their house this year and move also. Their house is a different set up from mine.
Well off to enjoy getting stuff done!

Sunday morning!
Thanks Fox for your comment. I do find time to relax thats the problem half the time, I am not getting as much done as I should. Hunter I miss your blog. I hope you blog more soon.
That is funny what Fox said yesterday as a comment because I didnt get much done yesterday. I did get the desk to savers, yea!!!

my day off
Alright I didn't get called in. Woke up tired so I didnt leave the house to go work out but I did work out with fit tv. Had a good workout. So after I took a shower. I have also got some stuff done today which made me feel like I didnt waste my day.
I finish cleaning out the drawers to this desk from the sunroom. Ready to get rid of it not. Almost done with the hutch and clearing off my counter top. Cleaned the kitchen somewhat. Put some boxes and a couple of things in the storage unit. Did go to home depot and bought the faucets for my bathroom and the vanity and also new shower head with the plate and a plate and faucet for the tub. My shower and tub are separate. I had put brushed nickel light fixtures in the bathroom and vanity so I wanted to get rid of the silver and update the two areas. The thing that sucked was that since my shower and tub are separate I had to buy 2 separate things. I found the shower head and plate for the shower but for the tub I couldnt just buy the faucet and plate, had to buy a shower head with it. I guess I will leave it for the next person who buys this house. I am also deciding about changing out the towel rods and toilet paper holder to brushed nickel also instead of the wooden fixtures. Update it also. One other thing I need is a new sink in my bathroom because of the fact that when the ex would shave he bang his rasor against the sink and put cracks and so did JJ. But luckily its less then $50.00 to replace. no biggie. Once I buy the sink I will call that guy who learning to be a plumber and have him replace all the faucets and put the new sink. Pay him a couple of hundred $$$ to do it. He is not asking for any amount in particular, just what I think its worth and if he is able to do all of it which includes the guess bathroom, the kitchen faucet and my bathroom and vanity then it is worth it.
It is absolutely incredible how much work is involved in this. Crazy. But when I am done and I sell this house I will know I did it and I can walk away being proud of my accomplishment.
Well off to do a load of laundry and do some more clearing out in the kitchen area. So glad I will have this weekend to do alot. It helps.
Hope all is well with everyone.

And another week begins
We are already into the week. Monday comes way to fast. My weekend turned out to be so nice. The weather was cold here and it was snowing when I left. The highs in Phoenix was 71 or so. Very pleasant. My drive uneventful and as I get closer to Phoenix things are turning green and flowers are blooming. I dont know what it is about green it just makes my brain come alive. It just does something to me when I see it. Amazing the effect it has on me. I did stop at the outlet mall and did a little shopping. Everything on sale. jeans, shorts, pj's, and a shirt.
But anyway I got to his place and we just relaxed for a few and caught up on some personal business. Enjoyed thoroughly as usual. We then decide to drive over to Mesa and go to lunch at Old Chicago. Good food. From there went to best buy to look at a couple of things and on to see the Watchmen. It was good, great special effects, and not goodie 2 shoes for superheroes. Interesting story line. I wasnt sure how I felt about the movie. Still dont know if I really liked it or not. That has never happened to me. But amazingly JJ liked it. He liked that the super heroes werent all goodie 2 shoes. He stayed awake for the whole thing. Almost 3 hours worth. We then went back to his place for a few and went to our place across the street. Had fun as usual. I was defiately tired. Didnt drink near as much. We left before the place closed. Crashed and slept in. Cooked breakfast and went back to bed for a nap. Then had some great sex prior to my leaving. I hated leaving and wasnt ready to but had to. So all in all it was a nice weekend. It will just sucked that I wont see him for 2 weeks.
I am on call tonight and hoping I dont get called in so I can start my day out early. I want to go workout and then go get the primer to start painting the sunroom. I also want to take a few things over the storage unit to get it out of my house. I am off this weekend so I will be able to get alot done. Excited about that. I want to pack more thats for sure.
Well off to get ready for bed soon and try to get some sleep. The wind is blowing so frickin hard. I turned into my subdivision and I looked at the stop sign and it was moving back and forth and I kept thinking its going to snap. I think ear plugs are in order tonight and still be able to hear the phone. I hope I get to sleep well. I need it.

Sat am
I am tired but about to get ready to drive down the hill to Phoenix. My lovely 2 hour drive. At lease its not like west texas where I use to live and it was just flat flat flat. I have to give it that much.
This week went by super fast. I did get to visit with Barb. She is having a tough time. Its going to take her a long time to get thru this tragedy of her husband dying and all the stuff he had which was alot of stuff. boat, rv, vehicles, still making a payment on crashed plane, its just crazy. I will call and check on her this week. We have a bond in the sense that we both lost someone in such a tragic way. But mine was not a husband and mine was a boyfriends son who felt like my own at times. So there you go.
JJ had to go to Prescott this past week and so Wed I drove down there and we had a great time hanging out. We went to the BW's down there and then on to a hockey game. Semi Professional. I love hockey in person. Especially the fights. They are the best. Then on to what they call there as wiskey row. A street of bars. Its there downtown area. It was low key but nice all the same. Thursday he had to get up for work and I didnt. But we met up for lunch when he was done and then he went back to phoenix and I did some shopping. clothes and shoes. All on sale. I did find a Kirklands and found some cool sconces for the wall to stage with and keep.
All in all a good time had by all.
Met up with girls last nite to celebrate a girl from work's birthday downtown at this place that is just so fu fu. Its okay but not my kind of place. very expensive for what they give you. I am not a fu fu kind of girl. I am a beer hole in the wall dive kind of place. No doubt.
So now I am about to go get ready to head to the big city. the high here will only be 49 so 71 or so sounds wonderful to me but windy everywhere in the state. Have I mentioned how much I hate the fucking wind. Yeah I think have once or twice. lol.
Jr's mom is in the hospital with an infection in her jaw/tooth something. That is very scary due to the fact that stuff can go to your heart. So she is in the hospital a couple of days. jr's mom called JJ to see if he would bring the kids to the hospital and take them to the store for a couple of things. He wants to do this before I get down there so it doesnt interfere with our time. I remember when both of my parents were in the hospital and I had to take care of everything, I was 18 at the time but in high school. Crazy.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Great Weekend
I ended up having a great weekend. I never had to go to work until they called me at 4am Sat morning. Didnt get the patient after all. Sat there for an hour and got paid for 2. Went home and got ready to go the boyfriends.
On my way to his place the mall was open in 10 mins so I stopped and bought new underwear because of Tipper, my dog chewing up my underwear. Crazy. Very quick in and out. In fact the cashier was surprized how fast I was. I wanted to shop more but knew I didnt want to spend my time or money that I shouldnt.
Got to JJ's and they were waiting on me. It was so good to see him and the girls. We cooked breakfast and later went to the movies to see Coraline. Interesting animation but kind of creepy at the same time. We all enjoyed it. They wanted to go swimming and so we went to the store to get a few things and headed back. Watched the changeling. JJ hadnt seen it and it was good the 2nd time seeing it. Part of it was filmed in San Dimas where he is from so it was kool for him to see it. We then cooked some dinner and watched Soul Man. It was really funny but sad to think of 2 of the actors being gone. Isacc Hayes and one of the main actors. I am having a brain fart. Tired.
JJ and I decided to go across the street to have a beer and asked the girls if they would be okay with us leaving for a little while and they were like kicking us out the door. They never get time alone because of their brother so they were excited to play on the computer and watch a movie and have the apartment to themselves. We had a nice time playing pool and listening to the juke box. We also had some good conversation about things such as our future and things going on right now. We talked about Austin again. So who knows. He also told me that he heard music to his ears such as Jr's mom wanting to move to a bigger place somewhere else. I was excited to say the lease. I hope to god she moves out of that apartment complex. We talked about her and he told me that he would never make the same mistake of being with her again. Not a no way but a no fuckin way. He wants to be with me and have a future with me. He loves me. I brought up the trials and how shit happens and brings people together with out realizing it. He said no that would not happen. So we shall see. Time will tell. But it would be cool if we really did look at Austin.
Sunday we went and watched the suns vs lakers game and had a good time. Was in bed by 10pm. It was hard saying bye.
Whats kool is he has to go to Prescott this week and I am off on Thursday so I am going to spend the night with him Wed. I am also going back down to Phoenix on Sat since he wont have the girls and him and I can have some nice one on one time.
Work was good today.
Tomorrow I am working and then going to my coworkers house for dinner. She is the one who's husband died in the plane crash that I posted about several weeks ago. She is having a rough time. She wants to cook dinner for us. So I will bring the wine and some flowers. It will be nice just hanging out with her. Looking forward to it.
This week I am not getting anything done around here til Thursday when I am off from work but you know what its okay. I can alot done on Thursday and Friday afternoon.
Well I hope everyone had a good weekend.
