2004-08-12 20:55:00; My Happenings
Hi ya!
I ment to update yesterday, but as soon as I hit the sheets I kinda just feel asleep.
I was so beat tired.
Anyways. Yesterday I spent the day with Binks and my mom. We went to get my mom a new photo at the DMV, cause monday is her birthday. After spending a hour there waiting.. like always.. mom took Bianca and me out to the Olive Garden..
I had the new three meat Ravioli and while I Love
ravioli, I did not care for it that much.
Blah! It had a pesto sauce on it that I don't really care for and also WAY to much butter! The pasta was like soaked in butter. Too rich for my taste. But I did Love the bread sticks and the Pasta Fazioli soup or what ever it is called.. it is like a Italian Chili and I love it.. I could have ate like 100 bowls of just that! I took some animal crakers along for the Binks and she ate some of those and drank some apple jucie in her sippy cup! and ate some insides of some bread sticks.. and my mom had the shrimp and crab raviolis.. they were good.. A LOT better then mine.
So I stole some of hers.
OH!!!.. all you mommies out there!!! YOU have to check out these cool sippy cups by Nippy, you can get them at Walmart. They are pretty cheap like $1.49. And they have a cool soft nipple like top like a bottle. It makes it easy for little ones
to go from bottle to big kid cup! Bianca just loves them!
After we ate my mom wanted to go out to the mall to get this jacket she fell in love with at Herberguers so we went there and she modeled the jacket for me.. it is really different. A Olive Green color with different patchy like things all over them. I really like it.. so she got it. Then we headed down to Deb and got me some things I can wear while I do student teaching! YAY! So that is wonderful!
I got two skirts, one tan and then the same one in Black. Then I got a nice black dress jacket thing I can wear with anything and also a new pair of Olive gray color cords with a neat off white belt! All things I can wear durring student teaching!
Best thing is my mom bought them all for me!!! YAY!
Then we spent some time at my moms and headed home for supper! Ray's mom made a really good chicken noddle dish with cream of chicken soup, peas and chicken and cooked noddles. Yum!
After supper I got a KILLER head ache!
So I curled up on the couch for a good hour and then finally went into the bedroom and fell asleep...
I swear I was out cold! I probally could not even hear Binks cry if she did. I was so out! Thank god Donna was here just incase Binks woke.. I was soooo out!
This morning I woke and took Donna to the Doctor and then ran to the Viterbo (my college) to get some more siggys for the teacher ed program. I hunted down one teacher and got his siggy. YAY! Which was happy to do it for me! I was very happy! Guess what? His middle name is Raymond..and he has a 8 month old daughter Briana.. isn't that weird? and weirder yet.. his wife is named Kari! Same spelling as me and everything.. odd. ..
Then we went to pick Donna up and stopped at the hospital cafe for some lunch. I got a pizza sub!
We ate and then looked around in the bakery! Best bakery in town and then I went with Donna to another apt. We got there a half in hour early and waited.. her apt was at noon.. we sat and sat.. two hours passed.. finally she was MAD!!
so we went to compalin! Guess what? The doctor never showed up that day! Three other people were still waiting with apts before Donnas and everyone in the waiting room was waiting for the same doctor! DARN stupid ladys at the desk could not tell us that when we got there? Bull Crap!!! That makes me mad.. make us wait two hours?? We probally could have waited all day! and no one would have told us a thing! That is soo stupid I am soooooooo mad!
After that we came back here for a bit.. and then I went to my moms.. I sat around there for about a hour and Donna went somewhere.. and then she called saying she was locked out!!!! Ray felt sick and left the house and locked it... he went to the doctor. Donna told me to come home and let her in.. so I did...
Ray came home shortly after with some pain killers.. he has a bad sinus infection.. poor baby!
He was craving Mc Donlands for supper so he got me some nuggets and Bianca and donna some fries and cheese burgers for him and donna.
After supper we went over to my moms and said goodbye and gave my mom hugs. Sadly, my dad was at the bar so we could not say goodbye to him. I swear he is addicted to beer.. it is too sad! And then he drives.. NO no.. grr.. makes me soo mad.
He drinks WAY too much!
Anyways.. mom went with me to the store and we picked up Formula with WIC cupons for Bianca.. cause she only had one can left.. which is BAD! *L* She goes through those things sooo fast now days. Little hungry monster.
At the store we ran into my best high school friend's mom and we sat and talked for awhile. I miss her.
I am no longer friends with her daughter, she decided to take some guy over me... the guy broke her nose and I got angry.. and she chose the guy,... well now she is married to the jerk..anyways.. her mom was always like a second momma to me.. so it was awsome seeing her. Bianca started to grunt really hard right as we started talking.. and well. she smelled really bad when we were done chatting so I had to get out of there and take her back to my moms for a change...
We spent a good hour or two at my moms hanging out. I worked on Binks scrap book a bit and played with the dog. My mom spent some good Bianca time. We bathed Bianca in the sink and got her ready for bed. She walked around with her toy push thing. She has pretty good balance for a 7 month old! She can take a good few steps on her own!
Holding on to something of course!
Then we headed home!.. now we are packing to leave tomarrow till Weds for IL we are going down to Rockford to visit Ray's family before school starts and celebrate me and Ray's first aniversey! YAY!
Bianca is getting into everything! *L* she does not like it I am packing her toys away!
OH guess what?? Bianca gots her now 7 teeth! Four new teeth on top and three on the bottom ISn't that neat! She is a mean green chomping machine! She loves to chomp on everything and LOVES eatting big girl food! She is going to have a whole mouth of teeth by a year I swear!
Well.. I am off now! TATa and lots of love!
see ya all in a few days.. if I don't update before then!

2004-08-10 23:46:00; Shopping Spree
Me and Bianca went on a shopping spree with Ray's mom today.
No, not for myself nor Binks... yet we went shopping for Ray! We got him a whole bunch of new shirts at Walmart. Tons of plain colored no tag no pocket ones he likes so much. He has VERY FEW shirts, so he needed some more badly! I was tired of washing the ones he had at least once a week and seeing him wear the same ones daily. So yeah. We also got him a really neat polo shirt to wear too. Something different.
He wants us to go back later this week and pick him up some more shirts with designs on them. He wants tons of clothes that are different then his normal things. Ray says he is tired of wearing borning plain things all the time.
We also got some chicken while we were there and some animal crakers for Bianca!
Also I picked some Lipton Rice dinner things up that I like so much. They were on sale for 3 packs for only $1.50! YAY.. gotta love Super Wally-mart! So I was happy! Overall, we did not even spend that much! I also got Ray a really kick-ass pair of swim trunks! He normally swims in his athletic shorts.. but the pools around here don't allow that and he wants to take Bianca to the pool before summer ends so I got him a cool pair of Haiwian Swim Trunks that are blue with red and white flowers all over them for only $3!! on sale! They are so neat. So yeah.... and guess what? He even likes them!
For the rest of the day we mostly hung around here. Bianca is teething still and in a lot of pain. She has been really teary and sad lately. I feel so bad for her!
But she has been eatting a lot more foods lately which is good.
My mother in law had made hamberguer soup when I got home from stampin' up club last night!
It was sooo good! She puts in browned hamberguer, corn with the jucie, peas with the jucie, green beans, three cans tomato soup, diced tomatos, cooked carrots, tators, and a little onion. YUM!!!!!!! Bianca even ate some.. well.. the veggies taken out of the soup mushed up a little.
Ray's brothers came over tonight with a friend for supper and Ray's friend Kevin. We cooked chicken on the grill with this special spice called BBQ spice from the dollar tree... It is really good.
And i made Mac and Cheese to go with it.
Kevin stayed for awhile after supper and Ray's brothers took off. Ray helped Kevin re-do his school classes for the fall and we chatted for a bit. Is it odd to care a lot for your husband's frirends? I mean... I care for Kevin.. like a brother almost.. maybe more. We have really grown close in the last year or so. I like spending time with him more then the rest of Ray's friends. He is fun to joke with and talk to. HEY, you single girls out there? You want a caring wonderful man from wisconsin. We are looking for a women to set Kevin up with. He is 26, brown hair and eyes, a little on the chubby side, but sweet as hell.. and funny. Really shy around girls at first... but then nice. Bad part is he doesn't want kids, but is good around them.
Otherwise.. like I said before... I did not do much today.
Tomarrow's plans.. I am thinking about getting my hair trimmed a little. I am not sure yet. I should really go to the Viterbo and work on studying to re-take the math part of my PPST!... I gotta do that like really soon!!!!!!
OHH!!!!! talking about the ppst! Guess what? I did AMAZING on the Writting part. I passed with flying colors. They even wrote on the bottom.. awsome writing skills! isn't that wonderful! I am sooo happy!
Well, I am off now to eat a ice cream snickers and then head to bed. TATA and tons of hugs and love!
Miss Bianca Rose Eattin animal crakers in her johnny jumper this morning....

2004-08-09 21:49:00; Stampin' Up
Today Bianca and I spent the day at my grandma's. Grandma got a kick out of spendng the day with Bianca. She loved playing around.
She crawled around on grandma's floor playing with her toys and trying to eat grandma and I's legs while we played Phase Ten. We fed Binks some honey crakers and some apple jucie. I also helped grandma put together her photo wall thing with updated photos of all the family! What a chore that was!
Bianca did not really take a nap all morning. But then again, she got A LOT of sleep last night. She went to be early at 7:30 and slept all the way till 8 this morning!!!
Then she ate a bottle, played for a good half an hour and went back to sleep, cuddled with me on the couch. We slept that way till around 10:30. That is when we got up and got dressed and called grandma to go there.
My father called right when I was on my way out, saying to meet him at a local restarant for our favorite soup! Cheese Burger Chowder .... yummmmmm
I got that and a cheese burger. It was so good! my dad got meat loaf with his soup. And Bianca ate some toast.
Bianca fell asleep on the way home from grandmas.. it was so cute! She is such a cute sleeper! So I let her sleep for a little while.. and then she woke screaming in pain from her teethers... so I put some baby creamy stuff on her gums and set her in her swing. She sat there and played with her singing piglet... and dosed off again...zzzzz
Tonight Ray's mom watched Bianca while I went to Stampin' Up, stamping club with my sister, cousin and mom. It was my mom's night to host so she made a HUGE fruit pizza to share and my cousin and sister made a chocolate chip cheese cake..
We made tons of really neat cards. And I learned how to use water color pencial paints to do cards and also cool markers to do different designs on cards. I had a really good time! and I even won a door prize! Two stamps and chocolates! YAY is me! and the fruit pizza and cheese cake were amazing! there was sooooo much left my mom even sent some home with me! YAY!
That means fruit pizza for breakfest!

2004-08-08 19:30:00; Wedding
Oh my gosh, the wedding was beautiful! Diane wore a hippieish white dress that was long flowing with flowered ring in her hair. The others wore normal clothes, dressy, but normal. All the kids were the wedding party and their neighbor, a judge did the cermony. It was fast, but very close knit and romantic. It was done by this homemade lake at a local campground. They placed flowered trees in pots to make an altar and gave people bubbles and rice to throw. It was raining , but not a hard rain.. just a gentle rainy mist .. which I guess was prefect cause it was so warm it cooled everyone down. Mostly family and close friends were there. Only about 100 people. NICE.. nice wedding.. and guess what? after 11 years of being together.. and keeping her madien name in her first marriage.. DIANE changed her last name!!!!! My new aunt is now.. Diane King! IT was a huge shock to everyone..
even my uncle who did not know that she was going to take his name!
I Will have to post the wedding photos I took.. .maybe in the next few days...
I got to see a lot of people at the wedding I haven't seen in awhile! My cousin Brian was there with his kids.. and guess what?? a NEW baby!
a 10 day old girl named Marie. I did not even know his wife, Jody was prego! I mean. I saw her on mothers day and she was not even showing! And here she is only a few months later.. popping a beautiful baby girl! And is she a cutie! LOTS of hair .. which is odd.. seeing my own is bald bald and more bald! *L* but a cutie!
I also got to meet my cousin Ado's boyfriend for the first time! which was neat.. and see other family I haven't seen since my wedding almost a year ago! so it was a nice get together!
I did not get to the hog roast. It took place at a bar.. at 7 pm last night.. and Ray was sound asleep when I got home from the wedding.. he took two sleeping pills yesterday morning and really needed the sleep..
..so I did not bother waking him.. plus.. I did not really want to take Bianca into the bar.. mostly if it was just a bunch of drunks and tons of smoke... since.. she is not around smoke that often.. I did not want that.. BLAH...
So we just hung around home. Ray woke around 8 and got me and Binks Mc Donalds...
Binks loves French Fries.. we always order the fries without salt that way they are freshly made and hot.. and yumm.. I had some fries, nuggets and also a double cheese burger.. which really hit the spot, since I hadn't really ate anything all day..
Today, today.. mmm.. I woke and Ray was not home yet. He went out with a friend of his who is moving out of town. So me and Bianca hung out most of the morning. Bianca ate a few crakers and then my dad called inviting us over for breakfest.
He made some eggs, toast and fried tators for us.. Bianca had tons and tons of toast! *l* She is really getting use to this feeding herself stuff!
We spent the day at my parents.. Bianca ate a Mr. Freezey this after noon and turned her whole self RED... she looked like a clown.. IT WAS soooo funny! I will have to post pictures later..
Now I am watching the 4400. I
that show soooooooo much! I am so sad that tonight is the last one!
thta really breaks my heart.
I am waiting for Ray to get home, he is shopping at supper walmart. Getting some things we need like diapers, food and stuff.. then he is going to come home with his mom.. and we are going to make some yummy steaks for supper with corn on the cob!
Then we probally will sit around and watch TV tonight. Finish up the 4400 seris and then watch the Dead Zone.
Well.. I am off for now! TATA!

2004-08-07 12:58:00; Today
Hello there everyone! So on today's plans... a wedding! My uncle is finally going to marry the lady he has been living for with years and years about 10 to 15 to be exact.. and they have a child together Kailee (my god daughter) who is 8 now! So I am excited they are finally getting married...by common law they are already married.. but they want to make it personal and ... well legal marriage! They are planning a simple wedding.. nothing to big, marriage by the pool (lake thingy) at a local camp ground in normal clothes.. by a judge who is their neighbor. Nothing too fancy. The wedding is at 4 tonight and I will be attending with my parents and sister.
It should be fun. We are taking our swim suits.. just incase it gets warm...
Later tonight they are having a hog piggy roast at a local bar later tonight, around 7.. which Ray wants to come with.. so I will have to stop home and get him for that! yummmm piggy
so yeah.. we will be doing that too! FUN FUN huh??
It will be nice since there will be people there I haven't seen in awhile.. like my cousin Richard from FL and also friends and stuff.. so I am looking forward to it.
This morning.. Ray came home from work and me and Binks were still in bed.. so he cuddled up on the couch and feel asleep.. well.. when we got up.. I tried to wake him.. and he would not wake.. next thing I heard was.. crash! He fell right off the couch!
still sound asleep! *L* So we decided to let him sleep and leave the house and go to my moms. Where I took a shower and did a load of my whites....
Well.. I am off for now...Gonna go sort socks...TATA and take care!
