I don't bead, I don't scrapbook... I don't have the patience for it but yet I LOVE to cross stitch. Here is my latest one that I started around the holidays and I work on it as much as I can.<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QVfYS0hI/AAAAAAAAAbs/cuEFFSMbs1U/s1600-h/Easter+025.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178876057886052882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QVfYS0hI/AAAAAAAAAbs/cuEFFSMbs1U/s320/Easter+025.jpg" border="0" /></a> Can you tell what it is yet??<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QVvYS0iI/AAAAAAAAAb0/kTSii6GdnNY/s1600-h/Easter+026.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178876062181020194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QVvYS0iI/AAAAAAAAAb0/kTSii6GdnNY/s320/Easter+026.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is the pattern... it is a 9 page pattern. I have never done one this large before.<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QV_YS0jI/AAAAAAAAAb8/j5SQTgbdxws/s1600-h/Easter+027.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178876066475987506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QV_YS0jI/AAAAAAAAAb8/j5SQTgbdxws/s320/Easter+027.jpg" border="0" /></a> Close up of the pattern.... I mark with highlighters what I have done already. I try to keep the colors seperated so I can see how much I did each day.<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QWPYS0kI/AAAAAAAAAcE/slOGbOWqoZE/s1600-h/Easter+029.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178876070770954818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QWPYS0kI/AAAAAAAAAcE/slOGbOWqoZE/s320/Easter+029.jpg" border="0" /></a> Now can you tell what it is??<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QWfYS0lI/AAAAAAAAAcM/wekm6WM2thQ/s1600-h/Easter+031.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178876075065922130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98QWfYS0lI/AAAAAAAAAcM/wekm6WM2thQ/s320/Easter+031.jpg" border="0" /></a> Maybe this will help??? I bought the pattern on Ebay about 4 years ago when I first brought Winston home. It's scary how much it looks like Heffy though. It will probably take about 6 more months to get it done. I don't tend to do to much in the summer just cause of being out of course. I am almost done with the second page of it, hopefully by the weekend I can start a third page. I so can't wait until I am done with it and I know that Andy doesn't ever look at my blog and even if he did no big deal but I want to frame it and give it to him as a gift. Not sure if it will be for what special day yet. I will update again soon my progress!<br /><div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-25176796203724788482008-03-17T19:07:00.003-05:002008-03-17T19:40:36.595-05:00Happy St. Patrick's Day!From Hef and Winston have a super safe and wonderful St Patrick's day! We aren't doing anything since Andy works until 930p and I have to be up early. That's fine with me though... don't want to be out and about with the snow coming down here this evening!<br />I am going to post pics now!<br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98PKPYS0gI/AAAAAAAAAbk/7OUgnTmCidA/s1600-h/Easter+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178874765100896770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R98PKPYS0gI/AAAAAAAAAbk/7OUgnTmCidA/s400/Easter+011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-53144267767849571502008-03-15T04:45:00.005-05:002008-03-15T05:02:05.962-05:00Date Night!<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ub6fYS0eI/AAAAAAAAAbU/x5XPz0dbpME/s1600-h/1185303.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177903625750630882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ub6fYS0eI/AAAAAAAAAbU/x5XPz0dbpME/s400/1185303.jpg" border="0" /></a> So we decided it's been a while since we went out. I was done with work by 1:00p, which is every Friday unless we are off and Andy was off from work. We went and saw The Bucket List. The reviews from that were on the movie theater website weren't the greatest but you know we both laughed and cried. It was so good. I will so buy this movie when it comes out. We then went the grocery store and bought dinner for last night and a few other items. We decided to have taco night. It was nice to be cooking together and just having a nice relaxing evening at home. <br />Today I am going to an Easter Egg hunt with my mom and 2 of my nieces. My parents work has a hunt every year and has for the last 20 years. I will post pics of the event! Then mom and I are going to go look for stuff for our own hunt at their house on Easter Sunday. I really hope the kids mom doesn't have a fit about us having them. I am sure she will tell Andy that it's not his holiday as she does all the time. (he is Jewish) But it is mine (I am Catholic) and it's our weekend. We didn't have them for any of the holidays last year except Andy had them when his family went on the Alaskan Cruise over the 4th. Andy and I have totally talked about if we have a child we are going to teach them both and then let them decide what religion (if any) they want to be.<br />Anyway... Have a wonderful day... don't drink to many green beers this weekend! ha<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ubs_YS0dI/AAAAAAAAAbM/bIdM8YDq06U/s1600-h/bucket+list.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ubO_YS0cI/AAAAAAAAAbE/FQS_vWiO_2A/s1600-h/bucket+list.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ubG_YS0bI/AAAAAAAAAa8/G6zH75j_4-4/s1600-h/bucket+list.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-91753483194243399332008-03-11T05:32:00.002-05:002008-03-11T05:42:49.934-05:00Meet Willy!My sister Carolynn and her family have a new family member! His name is Willy... He is a Newfoundland puppy. They had a beautiful all black one that they had to put down right after Christmas. Brutus had a lot of medical issues and problems with his legs at a year and a half old. The family was totally heart broken and the girls who are 7, 5 and 4 were devastated. So they contacted the breader and they let them pick out a new one and didn't charge them. Brutus was the only puppy they ever had to have these issues and I think it was good of the breeder to give them a new puppy. Most breeders want the dog back or won't replace the dog if you put it down. So meet WILLY! He is going to be HUGE!!! I saw pics of his parents and man oh man they are massive. I love his coloring and I have never seen a Newfie with white on them. I think he is around 12-14 weeks old, I forgot to ask how old he is and already weighs 29 pounds! That is what the pugs weigh now! YIKES!<br /><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgP_YS0WI/AAAAAAAAAaU/bqI-h6bLxSA/s1600-h/1-27-08+097.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176430649536598370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgP_YS0WI/AAAAAAAAAaU/bqI-h6bLxSA/s200/1-27-08+097.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgQfYS0XI/AAAAAAAAAac/H1CszD7XdVk/s1600-h/1-27-08+096.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176430658126532978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgQfYS0XI/AAAAAAAAAac/H1CszD7XdVk/s200/1-27-08+096.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgQ_YS0YI/AAAAAAAAAak/rmxXBJeu-Oo/s1600-h/1-27-08+100.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176430666716467586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgQ_YS0YI/AAAAAAAAAak/rmxXBJeu-Oo/s200/1-27-08+100.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgRfYS0ZI/AAAAAAAAAas/vgVXSRydt9Y/s1600-h/1-27-08+105.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176430675306402194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZgRfYS0ZI/AAAAAAAAAas/vgVXSRydt9Y/s200/1-27-08+105.jpg" border="0" /></a> Sorry they are kind of fuzzy... it was the best I could do with him running around with all the kids!

We first started at Pat's house, drank wine, snacked and Brooke opened her gifts. She had a baby girl whose name is Andelyn. Brooke had her there and her husband Dean came to pick up their oldest Aubrie and Andelyn and us girls went out to eat at Bucca Di Peppo. We ate in the kitchen which was really fun watching the food come out and we got to see all the dishes in case we wanted them.<br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZciPYS0MI/AAAAAAAAAZE/kto6ONjreqA/s1600-h/1-27-08+072.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176426565022699714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZciPYS0MI/AAAAAAAAAZE/kto6ONjreqA/s200/1-27-08+072.jpg" border="0" /></a> Shelley(hygenist), Pat(hygenist), Brooke(used to be our Hygenist), Lori(office manager and my ex sis in law) and Melanie(one of doc's assist) before we ate!<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZcivYS0NI/AAAAAAAAAZM/tBe8xlzGuWU/s1600-h/1-27-08+074.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176426573612634322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9ZcivYS0NI/AAAAAAAAAZM/tBe8xlzGuWU/s200/1-27-08+074.jpg" border="0" /></a> Just a piece of their Chocolate cake which I had to take a pic of!<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9Zci_YS0OI/AAAAAAAAAZU/ybz5V6gJUMA/s1600-h/1-27-08+080.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176426577907601634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R9Zci_YS0OI/AAAAAAAAAZU/ybz5V6gJUMA/s200/1-27-08+080.jpg" border="0" /></a>Our salad... it was the best salad I had ever had.

Being that Andy is off and well at my new, wonderful and awesome job I am done on Friday's at 1p. We went grocery shopping, came home, made dinner. We then got into a serious game of Monopoly. I bought the other day Monopoly Pixar. It is so cool!!! We played for 4 hours!!!! Finally around 930p Lily was like I am done, I am getting tired. Well thank goodness! We were all getting tired and I was down to $20, kept landing in jail and NO one was landing on my properties. At one point we were taking a break to make rootbeer floats and one of Lily's top front teeth was hanging on by just a bit of skin. She finally pulled it!!! This is her 2nd tooth she has lost and 2nd one here with Dad and I. hehehe so bad...<br />So today we are going to my sisters house. They brought home their new Newfie puppy yesterday. His name is Willy and I am so excited to see him. I will take pics and post them later. The pup and Lily's smile! Otherwise no big plans for the weekend. I wanted to go to Como Zoo with the kids but it's going to be super chilly. <br />Ok be back later with PICS!

My pug group is going through a lot and I shared it with them to maybe shake them up a bit and make them see why we do what we do for our puggies.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.virtualight.net/kpr/KPRVideo.htm">http://www.virtualight.net/kpr/KPRVideo.htm</a>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-11152231215872512772008-03-04T18:59:00.002-06:002008-03-04T19:16:57.914-06:00I am struggling....<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R830ZF6Md_I/AAAAAAAAAWY/qiwn1uStukg/s1600-h/New+Years+2008+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174060258838738930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R830ZF6Md_I/AAAAAAAAAWY/qiwn1uStukg/s400/New+Years+2008+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>With what to do about Hef. I love this old man like there is no tomorrow. We are told he is 10 years old, has some joint issues but basically healthy except his heartworm. (he sure doesn't look 10!) I have talked to a few people and I hear mixed advise. But I need more... I don't know what to about his heartworm. I am told that once he goes through the treatment he won't be the same at all and it could even kill him. Let me tell you the procedure in case you do not know. First he has to stay at the vet for 3 days, 2 nights. The first day they take a needle full of arsenic and put it in his right back flank, they monitor him the first night, the second day they take another needle of arsenic and put it in his left back flank again he stays to be monitored. <sorry>The arsenic then goes through his system to his heart and blood stream to disolve the worms. He then can't run around much or do his puggie play for at least 6 weeks in case he gets a blood clot from the worms disolving since that will kill him. I am leaning towards NOT doing it. Do I realize what I am doing yes. I want to enjoy him while I can the way he is. I want to watch Winston and him run around the house playing with their hedgehogs. I would rather have him have a full life of being a normal pug than go through the treatment. Do I sound selfish? I hope not. I am not going to do it due to money or my own gain. What if I took him in and he didn't make it past the first stage? Or he gets through them but is constantly weak, not playing being "big brother" to Winston. You would never know they weren't raised together. When I first got Hef I told Andy that no matter what even though he is 10, he is coming to our home where he can live the rest of his life with dignity. </div><br /><div>Please don't judge me and say that I am a horrible person by NOT taking him but I will consider all constructive critism. I will weigh the pro and cons of all... </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-16541276223495822002008-02-21T05:18:00.002-06:002008-02-21T05:23:52.725-06:00I am so bad about pics!But getting better about posting again. I will get some on here this weekend!<br /><br />So my 2 year agreement was up with Verizon. I was able to upgrade my phone with a credit. I checked it all out and I ended up getting the LG EnV. It's Orange (Tony Stewart orange!) I love how I cvan flip up the side and type like a regular keyboard. It's taking a little time to get used to since I was used to the old flip phone. I am proud to say that both my phones I have bought from them have been free! Gotta love it!<br /><br />So we have the kids this weekend. Hopefully it will be nice outside so they aren't stuck inside all weekend again. We were all pretty bored last time. We may head over to my parent's house so they can play on the farm for a bit. Or I will take them and the furkids to the park to run around. <br /><br />Off to get ready for work now!<br />JessJessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-90841386766162566092008-02-20T05:31:00.002-06:002008-02-20T05:36:49.038-06:00It's so cold!It's -10 this morning without the windchill! I have no clue what that even is and don't want to know! ha<br />My job is going really good. I am going to stay at the office and when our lease is up here we are going to move to the east side of the cities. We are going to try to be in between both of our jobs. Andy figures it will be better for us to drive every other weekend to get the kids further away than me driving an hour a day just one way. We will try to find a place that has a park nice and close and hopefully a 3 bedroom townhome. <br />Let's see... I went to a dog expo at the Minneapolis Convention Center with my mom on Saturday. I worked it for 3 hours at the Pug Rescue booth. It was pretty fun. Lots of dogs and dressed up dogs... i will try to post pictures tonight! <br />I better get ready, I have to get my car filled up and then stop at my old job to get something I ordered from my friend Carmen's car. I will take pics and show you all... they are 3 cute little sayings. I want to hang them in our bedroom but we will see... I forgot what they say it's been so long since I ordered them! hahaha silly me! Have a great day!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-57107790312388811172008-02-13T19:04:00.001-06:002008-02-13T19:06:59.625-06:00It's been a while...This is why I haven't posted... been super depressed and that is so not me.. I am usually a very positive person then all this happened...<br />So I haven't posted in a while and especially not this for some reason...<br />I quit my job a week ago. I walked. Was it irresponsible?? Yes and no...<br />I have never done anything like that in my life and would I recommend it? NO. <br />BUT... I hated my boss... what else can I say... she made it miserable. All the<br />backstabbing, favortism, it was ridiculous. She is an ugly ugly person inside and<br />out. It's hard to work for someone who has no personality. Plus would you<br />want to work somewhere where your told everything you do is wrong, or try to<br />voice your thoughts on something and pretty much get pulled into the office to be<br />told nothing what you said but then be reprimanded for for all the wrong things?<br />Well I tell you, I was going home crying every single night, I wasn't sleeping, I<br />dreaded going in. I never thought I would be one of "those people" who walk,<br />but I did. Do I regret it???? NOT AT ALL... I started back at the dental office<br />in Hudson. Yes I drive an hour to work but it's so freaking worth it. I haven't<br />been this happy at a job since I was there 2 years ago. I am pretty sure I am<br />going to stay there for a while. I love my girls and they don't talk about you<br />behind your back which is so nice. Oh and with this snow coming in, eh, I may<br />or may not go in tomorrow and guess what??? I am not going to be talked<br />about in a mean fashion. OH and it won't go on an attendance record... There<br />really isn't one... how nice is thatJessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-64497689575175085322008-01-27T08:01:00.001-06:002008-01-27T08:07:10.224-06:00Kids Weekend<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R5yPOogrDUI/AAAAAAAAAVw/85MzYgCPXuk/s1600-h/1-27-08+049.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160156754615143746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R5yPOogrDUI/AAAAAAAAAVw/85MzYgCPXuk/s320/1-27-08+049.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is still from last weekend but Bradyn is so adorable I had to post them.

I am a member of THOMP (The Heart of MN Pug Club) and we get together as much as possible to let the pugs play. Thomp is geared more towards the show dogs, however I have 2 non showing pugs. I was on the board for 2 years and it became way to much... All the fighting and craziness. I won't go into it but I feel that it's falling apart and I may just be part of the regular pug Meet Up in the Twin Cities. This was Hef's first meet up and he loved it. He played and was so good. I am still so amazed that someone could have the heart to give him up. He is such a wonderful dog.<br /><div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-38240690959295910502008-01-27T07:46:00.001-06:002008-01-27T07:54:00.643-06:002 Weekends ago<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R5yLy4grDKI/AAAAAAAAAUg/hKL3s9d5yVs/s1600-h/1-27-08+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160152979338890402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R5yLy4grDKI/AAAAAAAAAUg/hKL3s9d5yVs/s320/1-27-08+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is what I have been doing a TON of...

QUIT SMOKING... It's not a want it's a need. I hate the smell, how much it costs, having to be outside. <br />2. Get my house de-cluttered.<br />3. Lose 20 more pounds<br />4. Get a part time job to help pay for all the new clothes I will need once I drop 20lbs. :)<br />5. Go to New York to visit Andy's extended family.<br />6. Go back to Arizona to visit his parents and my cousin.<br /><br />Am sure I will add to it. It will be interesting to see where I am at in 6 months!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-68587892619406053782008-01-01T08:23:00.000-06:002008-01-01T08:38:54.021-06:00Cross Stitch and PuggiesOne of my favorite things in the world to do is Cross Stitch. I started doing it when I was 18 years old. I working at National Car Rental in the call center and I was working 5:30p-2am. At 5pm you could do crafts and such since it's after business hours. Well a girl Jodi who I started with just found out she was pregnant and started making a baby blanket. I thought hmmm, it will give me something to do and looks fun! Now I love the reactions I get when people open up something I made them. <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3pNlw0DGWI/AAAAAAAAAT4/3S4TzTp6Ajg/s1600-h/New+Years+2008+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150514435005290850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3pNlw0DGWI/AAAAAAAAAT4/3S4TzTp6Ajg/s320/New+Years+2008+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Pattern<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3pNmQ0DGXI/AAAAAAAAAUA/teIgn7nkoto/s1600-h/New+Years+2008+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150514443595225458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3pNmQ0DGXI/AAAAAAAAAUA/teIgn7nkoto/s320/New+Years+2008+003.jpg" border="0" /></a> Where I was at when I took this...

So I went to work on Wednesday feeling a little achey. Andy was home sick with a bug. Wed night I went to bed at 830p just thinking I was exhausted from the crazy weekend. I woke up my alarm on Thursday, was coughing thinking much of it but felt really out of it. Andy said that is how his began and he didn't think I should go to work. I couldn't even get into the shower I was feeling so yucky. I called into work, went back to bed. I don't even remember Thursday. Andy kept coming in and taking my temp. He called my mom at one point that evening since it was up to 102.8. She had Andy get me into a cool shower to try to get my temp down. Didn't work as planned. I somehow got aspirin down and slept more. My temp didn't break until Friday night. I tell ya, this bug is nasty. Even when I had the flu last winter I don't think it was this bad. I seriously do not remember Thursday at all!!! I am still a little shaky this morning but not as bad feeling. I don't think if I had to, I would be able to work today, that is how bad this is. I am going to throw some chicken, carrots, celery and onion in a crockpot and call it a morning.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-17989071479191294052007-12-25T05:53:00.000-06:002007-12-25T05:59:43.660-06:00Merry Christmas!<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DvvQ0DGMI/AAAAAAAAASo/91JlkYXfrNA/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147877969330641090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DvvQ0DGMI/AAAAAAAAASo/91JlkYXfrNA/s320/Arizona+2007+001.jpg" border="0" /></a> Winston before we left<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3Dvvg0DGNI/AAAAAAAAASw/dvc2b0c6_-E/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147877973625608402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3Dvvg0DGNI/AAAAAAAAASw/dvc2b0c6_-E/s320/Arizona+2007+004.jpg" border="0" /></a> Hef before we left<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3Dvvw0DGOI/AAAAAAAAAS4/-_iSzUZ19_8/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147877977920575714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3Dvvw0DGOI/AAAAAAAAAS4/-_iSzUZ19_8/s320/Arizona+2007+006.jpg" border="0" /></a> Winnie knows something is up... where we going mom??<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DvwQ0DGPI/AAAAAAAAATA/h7CZgmlsKro/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+123.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147877986510510322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DvwQ0DGPI/AAAAAAAAATA/h7CZgmlsKro/s320/Arizona+2007+123.jpg" border="0" /></a> Tired pups on Christmas eve<br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DvwQ0DGQI/AAAAAAAAATI/YGxahFDessE/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+137.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147877986510510338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DvwQ0DGQI/AAAAAAAAATI/YGxahFDessE/s320/Arizona+2007+137.jpg" border="0" /></a> Hef sleeping with my parents new kitten sleeping on him. They had thought the kitty was a girl and my mom named her Anna Belle, well his name now is Anna BILL. hahaha The puppies were so happy to see us. It's nice to be home but man I really loved it out there. The sad thing is I didn't take a single pic of Andy's parents or family but it was a non stop weekend. I am hoping someone in his family will send us pictures!!!! Have a very Merry Christmas all!<br /><div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30484826.post-81101346207719894292007-12-25T05:46:00.000-06:002007-12-25T05:53:31.243-06:00The Ghost town<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuSQ0DGHI/AAAAAAAAASA/-xiuD_S0SeI/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+126.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147876371602806898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuSQ0DGHI/AAAAAAAAASA/-xiuD_S0SeI/s320/Arizona+2007+126.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Mercentile<a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuSg0DGII/AAAAAAAAASI/D5IyAGLPrfw/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+131.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147876375897774210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuSg0DGII/AAAAAAAAASI/D5IyAGLPrfw/s320/Arizona+2007+131.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is the little church that Dave and Ingrid were married at.<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuSw0DGJI/AAAAAAAAASQ/FGsoPRb6wu8/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+130.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147876380192741522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuSw0DGJI/AAAAAAAAASQ/FGsoPRb6wu8/s320/Arizona+2007+130.jpg" border="0" /></a> The Bordello, I love the staircase<br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuTA0DGKI/AAAAAAAAASY/qiV35R1pSi8/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+128.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147876384487708834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuTA0DGKI/AAAAAAAAASY/qiV35R1pSi8/s320/Arizona+2007+128.jpg" border="0" /></a> The saloon<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuTQ0DGLI/AAAAAAAAASg/wvZF7_GW__I/s1600-h/Arizona+2007+127.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147876388782676146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E5Jaeh6L6Kc/R3DuTQ0DGLI/AAAAAAAAASg/wvZF7_GW__I/s320/Arizona+2007+127.jpg" border="0" /></a> The main street<br /><div></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10488687168357370166noreply@blogger.com1
