Done

the table and hutch are gone. Empty space. Amazing it echoes in there now. Making progress. How exciting! Well off to Phoenix to see my honey. Cant wait. Dont need to take much since its just an over nite kind of thing.

End of week

I cant believe its the end of the week. Thank god in some ways and in others not. Okay Hutch gone today. Woohoo. Sold it for less then what I asked but I was okay with the price he offered and now its gone. Space. Tomorrow morning the hutch and table and chairs should be gone. More space and its moved and out of here. getting steps closer.
I am leaving for Phoenix after the guy and sone show up. Going to see my honey and go celebrate Shekei's 16th birthday. I am so happy to see JJ. I miss him so much. We miss each other big time. Catch up where we left off. :-P Oh yeah!!!! Anyways go shopping for the birthday gifts and card. Go to the girls stepdad's mom and dad's house for a family dinner and party. I am excited. I like Staci and it will be nice to get to visit with her. Then we will go out and enjoy some JJ and Letera time!!!
I am heading back up on Sunday around lunch. Then for the next 2 weeks get back on track of working out and getting this room done. I would like to start painting by next weekend. It will be a bitch to do. Big time!!!
But anyways I am making progress and thats all that matters. Found someone who collects the playboys to take them. Its L & C who help me out all the time and went out and celebrated my birthday with. He will be happy!
Well off to see if my laundry is washed so I can throw it in the dryer. Going to bed soon. Have to get up between 5:30 to 6am. That way I can take a shower and get dressed and packed. Small bag since I am only going over nite. No biggie.
Might pack a box of dvd's to take to JJ's to keep down there.
Hope all have a great weekend!!!

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!
Damn the week is 1/2 way over. Time is going by way to fast. In some ways I am happy and then other times I feel overwhelmed because what I am trying to accomplish but oh well cant go there. I had a great couple of days down in Phoenix with my honey. It was very relaxing. We had a nice dinner and then went out for a few beers. In bed rather early to say the least. Tuesday he had to get up at 8am so we were able to get breakfast before he left and then once he was gone I went to Savers when they opened and found 2 different prom dresses for under $10.00 each. So I bought both and will let Dido use 0ne. Then after donate it back to savers up here. lol.
By the time I got back JJ was getting off work so we were able to relax in the pool and jacuzzi and drink beer and do nothing. Talked about our future and me moving down there and looking for a house. It feels so good to know we are on the same page and are looking forward to the future together.
We also talked and ragged on his ex, jr's mom. The youngest kids dad is there with them. He is young, like less then 25 years old. Crazy. Once all this stuff with jr is done then she will be out of our life thank god or at lease for the most part. I am so happy she burned her own bridge.
Well there is news about whats going on. It was in the paper today. The one kid who is the doctor's kid is in protective custody because he is going to testify against the other 2. Its still up in the air about the one in jail this whole time testifying against the other 2. They will get at lease 21 years in prison and now hopefully the one who did it will hopefully get life and hopefully without parole.
We are hoping that this is behind us so when I move down there we can start our lives together without this over our head. There is some hearing in May and I will be there with JJ to support him.
I sold my hutch and table and chairs and the guy and his son is picking it up Sat am. And then some couple is coming to look at the desk Friday and are pretty serious on buying it. With it being on Craigs list and all that has gone down with that recently with the murder and rapes, ect I will have friends here each time so I am not alone at my house. I am being smart about it. Its just going to open up space, It will be so awesome to have that gone. On my way!!!
Well off to get ready for work tomorrow. Time to go to bed.

Excited

Today has been very productive. I did go work out. Came home and started on the bookcase. Got 4 boxes packed. I also took pics and put my table and chairs, hutch, and computer desk on Craigs list. I cant believe I got a bite on the table and chairs. Mind you selling cheap. Not trying to make alot of money, just trying to get rid of if you know what I mean.
Waiting to hear when they want to look at. They live near by.
I also got a surprise when I was going thru the bottom of the bookcase and came across the ex's old playboys. I dont remember him putting them in there. So I am going to ask the guys at work if they would like them or take them to this place called bookman's to see if I can get a book credit and buy books to read. My neighbor told me that one. I asked JJ if he would like them and he said no. Good answer. Mind you I am not a prude by any means but for us just starting out we can enjoy each other for now.
So anyway its been a good day. Cant wait til tomorrow!!!!

So I was a bum

Okay so yesterday I was a bum. I just didnt have energy in me. Just tired from the week. Today will be different. I am about to go get dressed and go work out and get my bathing suit I left there. I hope they have it. Oh well, I ordered a new one anyway for this summer. Baby blue, harter top that comes down to the hip and then the bottoms are the same color. Very cute and good color for me. Incentive to keep working out so I can look good in it.
Well off to the gym and then back to get started on this room. I cant wait til tomorrow, I will see my honey. Woohoo!

Sat Morning

I am so happy its Sat. I got to sleep in and now I am just moving slowly drinking my coffee. No time line for anything today. All I am planning on doing is working on this guess bedroom. It will take the whole weekend due to it being about going thru papers and shredding. Very time consuming.
The weather is going to be beautiful here today. The sun is shining and its suppose to warm up to 59 or 60 degrees. Woohoo. I can open the windows and get some fresh air thru the house. The one thing about this house is great ventilation because of all the windows. Its awesome.
I am thinking about going out tonight. Meeting up with a couple of girls from work.
I wish I was in Phoenix with JJ and the girls but I want them to have alone time with their dad. He ended up going to Austin and got back yesterday. So on Monday I am heading down to the valley of warmth and hang out and have alone time with him. Woohoo. He is off Monday and so we will see if he is in town until Wed. I hope so. I am off on Tuesday. So my plan is to not come back up until Wed and be at work at 9am.
Well Jr's mom blew it on Thursday. JJ let her borrow his van and told her to take it to the gas station before she drives it home. She didnt listen and went straight home and the van died. She texts him and tells him she cant believe he left her with an empty tank and how could he expect her to put gas in to use it. What the fuck ever. Give me a break. This went back and forth and he told her now I know why no one wants to help you. She said your funny. He said no I am serious. She said if you are my friend you wouldnt say that. He told her its true and that she needs to put his keys in the office. She told him I dont need you. He said fine you will never get help from me again. I am smiling the whole time because you know what I think of her. She is a piece of work. She is nothing but a user and a manipulator. He is truely done with her. Thank god. This way when I go down there she isnt bothering us. Bitch. I blame her for how Jr was because when he was doing what he did he would send her money. How low is that of a mom asking their kid for money and thats how he got it to help her out. That is just aweful to think about. Its sad how things ended between them. Their last phone call was him telling telling how he blames her for the way he turned out and how she is fucked up and how he never wanted to speak to her again. Sad but true. Now mind you I dont think anyone deserves that but she brought it on herself. And now to think she has a bong and she smokes with her oldest son, it just goes to show she learned nothing from what happen. Nothing at all.
But enough of that. I am going to enjoy a relaxing take my time doing stuff. Life is good.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Alright back to work

I got to sleep in and now I have to go get dressed and get to work for 9. The afternoon will seem like it will drag for me but I am helping out Dido so its just fine.
I got my guess bedroom painted. It looks great. I got my hair done, looks good also. Did a work out and enjoyed the cuzzi. I went and had a beer and waited on a salad to go. It was delisc. I feel like I am finally back on track with my life. Woohoo. That feels good.
My honey is back on the road again. He is heading towards Florida. He is driving thru NM right now. Staying on I10 the whole way. Looked at the weather channel. He will probably drive thru rain the whole way starting tomorrow. I hope he gets back by Monday so I can go see him and have time with him. I miss him big time.
Well off to get dressed for work!!! Hope everyone is having a good day!

Let it snow!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow. Crazy frickin weather. The wind has been so bad but its cold and the snow is sticking. The high is 37 but with this wind its got to be colder at my house. Just sucks. Its going to warm up this weekend. Yea!!!!!!!!!!! I am ready.
Slept like crap, didnt get called in though. So very tired when I woke up. But now I am finally awake and ready to get started on the bedroom. It looks so good even with one coat of paint. Tan. The room with the light makes it so bright and it looks so much bigger. I was really looking at my house and it has alot of neat features. High vaulted ceiling except for my room, Big bedrooms, especially the guess bedroom. Its huge. Big kitchen, lots of cabinets and counter spaces. I will defiately take pics when I am done. All new ceiling fans, will be new faucets and shower head. Fresh paint. Kool walls that dont go all the way up. Its just design very kool. I really do love this house. I will miss it.
I watched house hunters and they showed a couple looking for a house in phoenix, this was last year mind you but they showed a house that would have been north of where JJ lives. Older homes, kept updated, trees, and nice yards with a pool. It made me excited about moving there in the future.
Well off to the guess bedroom!

Busy Week already

This has already been a busy week. Work has been kicking our butts. I am on call tonight and almost had to go in for an hour or so but another girl I work with decided to stay. I am telling you I will never find a group of people to work with like I do now. I will truely miss them big time!
But I did work out the past 2 days, only 30 mins total between bike and treadmill but I have stuck to it and loving it. I am getting to listen to my ipod more. Love that. Yesterday I came home and after loading my vehicle up twice and making 2 trips to the storage unit I came home, ate dinner, and was pooped. Just tired. No energy to continue with painting. But today was different. Work was busy again, worked out like I said and came home. Took a break and ate dinner early and went after it, got the 1st coat done. It looks good. one more coat and painting in that room is done. Woohoo. Getting after it in the am. I have a 1:15 hair appt so I am hoping to get it done before.
Its windy windy windy here. Suppose to get snow tonight and rain this week. The high is only going to be 37 degrees tomorrow. Spring sucks here. We had our one gorgeous week and thats it until summer pops in.
JJ got back from Atlanta today. I wish I could have been there to pick him up and give him a big hug and kiss, etc etc etc. lol. Well he is getting back on the road again tomorrow if the permits come thru to drive a pump from phoenix to Florida via I 10. Crazy. This was suppose to be our weekend and the girls but now it wont be happening. If I wasnt on call I might have drove down there to hang out with him til tomorrow and come back tomorrow. Oh well. He needs to work, needs the money as we all do. He is thinking he should be back by Sunday or Monday. I am off on Tuesday, so I might have to make a trip down there on Monday. The last nite he was in Atlanta he stayed at the ramada. had a separate sitting area. He said it was nice. I said damn to bad I wasnt there to enjoy that space. This wouldnt be bad if he did alot more but during the week would be nicer and if I was living in Phoenix it wouldnt be so hard because when he got back I would be there. So this means I will be here this weekend and can start on the office next. I will truely make good progress. Use my time wisely.
I miss JJ. I cant remember if I mentioned, he made a short video while he was driving that was called I miss you. He just told me he missed me, loved me, and couldnt wait to see me. I will save it forever. It makes me smile. We are in love and it feels good. I know all this that we are going thru is temporary. My other friends are living in one place or about to live in one place with their guys and all I can say is I cant wait til it is my time!!! He has truely won my heart.
Hot Hot Hot!!! lol
Well off to bed. Tired. Lots to do.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all. A day to rejoice the resurection of the Lord. I dont why they call it good Friday. Its a sad terrible Friday. With everything Jesus went thru between then and now was just heart wrenching. But today he has risen and is not suffering. I grew up Catholic. I remember going to church and doing the whole catholism thing. Have really gotten away from doing that. I am thinking that maybe when life is settled down and Sammy plays the bells, I would love to go watch and have some kind of religion in my life again. I know for JJ its not there. Understandbly so. I dont know if I would believe either. But he will go to watch Sammy so in some ways it will be a positive thing.
So I hope all are enjoying their day in how ever you do that.
Enjoyed my Sat evening, dinner was yummy, and watched the movie Sex and the City. I decided my old boss was right, that movie was about forgiveness. By forgiving you can move on with your life. I have done my share of that. I do feel like I am moving on. So there you go.
Anyways slept pretty good. JJ is between Abilene and Dallas/Ft Worth on I-20. He is driving into bad weather. He texted me this morning and let me know he was taking off and we have talked every hour or less. I did tell him that I talked to my parents and the next time I go home, they want him to come so they can meet him. He said no problem, he joked if they want to meet him at a truck stop in Abilene he would meet them there. We had a good laugh. I did tell my mom I didnt know when that would be with everything I am in the process of doing. They understood. In good time, In good time.
I have finally emptied out the guess bedroom so I could start painting or at lease cutting out. You know my intentions are always good but I am not going to kill myself to do this and if I feel like I need to take time off or do it at a slow pace I can. That is a good feeling to know I am able to do that.
Boiling eggs for deviled eggs. Love them. Time to show up is 230 to 330. So I have a little time to work with.
Its sunny out which yesterday the weather just zapped my energy. Sucky. My other thing to do is take pics of my furniture for sale and get it put on craig's list. Its not hard, I just procrasinate. Oh well, there you go. On my timeline, no one's else. Love that.
Well off to paint. Again Happy Easter!!!!!

Doing Good

Well didnt get as far as I expected but I have 9 boxes for the storage unit. I went thru piles of papers and things. Separated out in 3 piles - throw away,donate, and keep. I cut my pile down immensely. This is a good way to just feel free of stuff. I am loving it, even though, lol, I am taking breaks inbetween. I also went thru and gathered all the photo albums up and putting them in a couple of boxes. No pics of my ex and I are in those. There are 2 other plastic containers that are holding all the pics of the 26 years prior to my life now. I also have added some cd's with pics from previous places and times in my marriage in the pre(my former life). I told JJ eventually I will probably go thru and just trash. I dont know.
I was looking at books. Those will require several boxes because there are books, for example, I have a book or should we say a manual from The US Navy corp school. I dont want to get rid of that. Its apart of my past. It reminds me of things I have done in my life.
And the other thing I have to pack is a few boxes of is movies. I have alot of dvd's and vcr tapes that are disney and kids movies. Love them.
I know I havent painted but what I did do was just as important. I am thinking tonight I am going to pack up books. Clear out the book cases in the living room and the office. The packing up of things is the most hardest to me mentally. Its going thru my life and deciding what is still important to me and what I am taking with me on to my next life. What this whole process is about to me is starting over and starting a new life. This is so huge!!!! Its so good for my soul to do this. I said way back that when I leave Flagstaff to live somewhere else I am going to be so healthy. It has been a process let me tell you but worth every bit of everything.
I really foresee an awesome life ahead of me. A happy life. A meaniful life. More stable. More time for family time. That will be so important. JJ and I are good together. It will all be worth the craziness and getting to know each other and get thru stuff. understatement mine you, but stuff.
Hope all is well!
I did have Letera time of relaxing and not jumping to do anything. I needed this down time. Since I have done that I have some energy to keep working.
Okay new goal, after I make myself this yummy dinner, Pork Chops, butter and herb pasta, and fresh aspargus. Either corona's with lime juice or a glass of Reisling wine. Sounds yummy! I am telling you I am thoroughly enjoying my weekend.
JJ has been calling alot. I have my atlas out and I look at the map to see where he is or how far somewhere is. Its like I am apart of this trip. Loving it.
So anyway I am doing good and feel good.

Snow

Well woke up to everything being in white. Went back to sleep and it was gone but mud and its snowing lightly. Too warm to stick around. I am enjoying it from inside of my home. I am not leaving til tomorrow. Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a week. To say at the lease that my birthday was awesome is an understandment. It was an awesome low key birthday with people who I am closest to that live here. Thursday nite was great with my friends here. I already talked about that.
Friday morning I drove down to Phoenix to my honey. It was so good to see him. He gave me a beautiful necklace. Its a gold heart with a mistic fire topaz and a little diamond to the side. I am wearing and when I look at it, I just smile and beam. Its the 1st piece of jewelry he has given me. I treasure it big time.
We just spent the day together, had great intimate time to gether and then off to lunch/dinner. Ended up at the Macroni grill. I wanted Caraba's but they werent open til 4pm so went with the same theme. Ended back at his place and later wandered to the wunderin. There were 2 other people celebrating birthdays. One guy who's birthday was the same day and another on Sunday. So had a couple of tequila shots. It was nice. Just relaxing.
Sat we went and got the girls and they gave me a homemade card and some bath stuff. I thought it was very sweet and nice. It meant alot to me, expecially the card. We took them out to Ariba's for breakfast/lunch. Me breakfast them lunch. Then headed over to the movies. Went and saw Monsters vs Aliens. I wish we could have seen it in 3D but that show already started so we did without. It was really good animation. Enjoyed it.
AFter going to the grocery store we rented a couple of movies. Role model, too funny and Rock A Rolla by Guy Richey. Very good. If you like Snatched then you will love this one. His movies are good. Lots of characters and the story line, it keeps your attention. We cooked out on the grill and watched movies. Enjoyed thoroughly.
I have to mention that thru out the weekend JJ's work was calling about him driving a concrete pump, the hugh ones that he drives, to Austin from Phoenix. Originally they wanted him to leave Sat am then Monday. So our plans were changing because of this.
Since he was leaving on Monday am we didnt know if he would get back to go to see Reckless Kelly at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix on Tuesday nite.
Anyway we took the girls home and I decided to stay an extra day due to not being sure about coming down on Tuesday. It was a nice relaxing day. Went out for brunch and just hung out.
We both left early on Monday morning. Me to get to work at 7:30. Him to go on the road. I was 10 mins late due to not allowing enough time to get thru town. At that time it takes 10 to 15 mins to get to thru town. Sucked. So it took a little over 2 hours to back.
Well as things turned out JJ got to Austin early enough, actually Buhda, and they flew him back at 4:15 Texas time and 2:15 Arizona time. I got off work at 1 and got out of town by 2 and we were able to be at the Rhythm room when the doors opened at 6:30 so we could get tickets.
We had the best time. The bands were awesome. I think I have mentioned the Rhythm room before. Small and intimate place for a concert. A patio to the side of the building. I think it holds around 100ish. They sold out with in about an hour or so. The bands were awesome. The opening act was Micky and the Motorcars. Cute Cute lead singer. The 2nd band was Reckless Kelly. The lead singer cute cute cute. In fact they are brothers. And there are a couple other brothers in these 2 bands. They are out of Austin. AT one point there were 3 brothers on stage singing during one of the songs. It was so kool because I knew all of the songs this time of Reckless Kelly. I just love their music. And to say also that the beers went down way to smooth. We just rocked. Another good thing to mention, neither one of us had to get up on Wed. We were both off. So we partied like rock stars. Got pics with the band after wards and autographs. Like I said just so much fun.
Needless to say on Wed we felt rough but did okay. Went to Luke's and got some sandwiches and large drinks. By 1:30 I knew I had to leave. The traffic would start increasing the direction I was going and it would take so much longer to get out of town so on the road again.
JJ is now on the road taking a pump to Atlanta, Georgia. Just barely getting out of Arizona due to craziness from yesterday. He picked it up outside of Yuma. He is ready to get out of Az.
So today I am hanging out. Its snowing right now. I am going make some breakfast and start painting the guess room. I want to be done with that by tomorrow. Time is of the essence. Oh I joined the aquaplex. I am so glad I did. I have gone the last 2 days. Yesterday after the treadmill and bike I used the jacuzzi. OMG that is the bomb. I see people I know. Its a very pretty place. Very peaceful. I cancelled my jazz membership. This is defiately will be worth my money. Its on the way home and so its a convience.
Well off to having brunch now and getting it in gear!! Sorry so long. Its amazing how much happens in a week!

OMG Its true

OMG I am really 49 today. Kind of freaks me out. I just cant believe it. Where did all the time go. I had a wonderful dinner with Dido, Elly, Le and Ca. We went to Outback. It was just dido and elly at 1st. So we were at the bar and had drinks and this cute waiter/manager that Dido knows wished me a happy birthday. He is way to cute. We did desert at 1st. And they sang to me. I was embarrashed. But it was cool to start out with desert 1st. Then on to a blooming onion. Haven't had one of those in years. Yum. Then Le and Ca showed up and we ordered dinner. I had steak, bake potatoe and stuffed shrimp. I was so full. I couldnt wait to get out of my clothes and put my jammies on. I crashed hard even thru the fricken wind. Its just blowing with no stopping. Crazy!
JJ is waiting for me. He went shopping for me this morning. He had to wait on his check being deposited so I am excited to see what he has planned and what he got me. I told him he didnt have to just getting time with him is good enough but on the other hand, its fun getting presents.
I opened my box from my mom and dad. A check for money, good, 20 pairs of pantyhose not so good. I dont wear them so when I opened the box and saw them all I couldnt believe it. Wierd. Oh well the money makes up for that. lol.
Well off to finish getting ready for my trip. We are getting the girls tomorrow and keeping them til Sunday. Maybe look at going to the aquarium and world zoo. Its near their house.
Hope all have a great weekend. I will!

April fools day

I am so glad I am not an april fools baby. I was born on the 3rd on an Easter afternoon. I could have been.
No jokes pulled on me yet. Waiting though.
Mojito Monday was good, very good, but boy did I feel rough the next morning.
Doing good today. I have one more day and then Friday I turn the big 49. I just dont know how it happened. where did all the time go. Crazy.
I am spending it with my honey. Its suppose to snow on my birthday here. So I might be driving out of the snow into 71 degree weather. Crazy Crazy.
Going to the aquaplex this afternoon. Jacuzzi and slide again. Also going to the vacumn store to have a part looked at.
So hope all is well with everyone else!
