The Zombies are coming.....Are You Ready?

This was way too funny not to share. I was looking in the Granite Peaks Education Catalog that comes in the mail and I know you are all terrified about zombies and since the government doesn't have a plan in place we better take it upon our selves to be prepared for the attack. So I found it, the perfect class for such a situation........

Surviving a Zombie Invasion
Class Description
Zombies are invading neighborhoods all across the country but we can help you prepare for them. Our Zombie expert gives you the tools you need to protect yourself from these creeping disasters. Whether you're just starting to plan your defense or you already have some measures in place, you will not want to miss out on this opportunity. When the Zombies knock out your power or initiate devastating natural disasters, you'll be able to face them confidently and with the weapons you need to defeat them.

I'm sorry I know there are people who take this seriously but I can't read this with out laughing. This is no joke you can totally take this class.

I hope this makes you smile on your Wednesday, because I think it just made my whole week. :)

Happy 2010!

Well it is a new year and that means a fresh start and new beginnings. I am looking forward to a new year and hopefully all of the new and good things it holds.

We had a great Christmas and New Year! Lots of family time and lots of visiting. ( pictures to hopefully come this week) I can't believe that the holiday season is already over but I am ready to start moving forward with a new year.

Since it is a new year I, like most of you, have made some resolutions and I think I will share some of them here so maybe I will remember what I have decided to accomplish this year.

* Get a house (hopefully this summer)
* Try to eat breakfast and lunch more regularly (sometimes I skip one of these meals not on purpose and yet I have gained weight???)
* Try to finish some of my many projects I have started
* Actually post something on my other blog, it has been ready for two months and yet no post
* Get my CNA so I can get into a nursing program, hopefully soon
* Help get Adam through school faster

I am sure this list will be ever growing but for now I think I will work on those because they will probably take all year!

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and that you are as ready as I am to start this new year!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

So much for trying to at least update weekly. But most of you have probably realized that I don't really stick to my plans all the time.
Nothing new has really been going on so I really had nothing to post.
I am getting a little more excited for Christmas, I guess I had better get more excited since it is only two days away.
This year Christmas time has been really....different. It is weird living in a house with 5 other adults(not including Adam and me). Adam's family has their own traditions and none of them are things we really did at my house or when Adam and I had our own place so it is going to be a little different. Somethings we will be opting out of so maybe it will be like our Christmas a little bit.
Has anyone else felt like this month has gone way too fast and that they are behind? These last few months have flown by and in some ways I am happy to start fresh with a new year and some ways I am sad because I feel like I didn't get things done like I wanted.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope Santa brings you lots of fun stuff. :)

This is a little late

I know I am a little late but I feel like this has been the first time I have been able to catch my breath in a few days.
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!! We had a nice day with Adam's family and then visited my family that evening. I need to get better at taking pictures because I have no pictures to go with this post. Maybe that should be my new goal?
After being sick on Tuesday Adam and I were feeling much better on Wednesday which was a good thing because I was supposed to make pies for Thanksgiving that night. I ended up making a delicious pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust and a banana cream pie with Nilla wafer crust. Yummy! I am not a big plain pumpkin pie fan that is why I made a pumpkin cheesecake.
Then Friday we did go shopping. We did not get up at 3:00, since we had been sick we decided we had better sleep a little so we left the house at about 6:45 am which was great we were able to get lots of good stuff at great prices with out the crazy lines and crazy shoppers. Did any of you go shopping? What kind of deals did you get? I finished almost everyone on my list except Adam.
Can I just say how stressful December is? I love this time of year like I said in my last post....lots of good treats, good shows and great music. However, we have four birthdays plus Christmas so that adds to a lot of stress. Our birthday extravaganza starts next Monday and continues on the 16th, 18th and 26th. Ugh! Most of our birthdays are fairly easy for our first birthday she is getting a gift card. What is it with this time of year that people think they should get everything when they want it? I truely am one of those people who would rather get the perfect present for someone and see their reaction than get something for myself.
Anyways I guess I will wrap up with what I am thankful for:

I am thankful I have a job that helps pay the bills and I enjoy most of the time
I am thankful for family and spending time with them
I am thankful to have my health
I am thankful for my hubby who puts up with my crazy moods and loves me unconditionally
I am thankful for my friends, they make the world go around
I am thankful for sweets: cinnamon almonds, chocolate cherries, chocolate oranges mmmmm!

Well I better get back to work.

Thanks for reading :)

Holidays

Ok so I'll admit it.....

I am getting excited for all of the holidays coming up! I guess I had better start getting ready since Thanksgiving is next week!
I am not the biggest fan of Thanksgiving but I love getting together with my family and just spending time together plus, I am ready for some pie yummy.

I wish we were going to my parent's house this year just for a break but we are staying with the in laws for Thanksgiving.

I am so ready to start Christmas shopping I am bound and determined to get some good deals this year. We have 4 birthdays in December so the more money we can save the better!

I am looking forward to the holiday season. I am a huge sap for holiday movies and specials on tv and I think Adam thinks I am nuts because I love to watch Christmas movies over and over. Who doesn't love "A Christmas Story?" Or "Christmas Vacation?"

If any of you say that you don't like those movies I don't think we can be friends anymore. :)

I am a little depressed that we won't be able to do our own traditions and decorate our own place this year but at least we are with family.

I guess I am even ready for some more snow. I need some more nice coats to wear to work though.

Are you ready?

Simple and Sweet

Well it's here...it's Friday!

This has been a long week.

Yesterday was a bad day.

Hoping today will be better.

End of Daylight Savings time and I am tired.

Need to get my butt in gear.

Ready for our own place.

Trying to get better at blogging more often.

Feel like my life is really not interesting enough to blog about.

Happy it still feels like fall.

Not quite ready for snow and cold.

Ready to be done with work...it's 10:00 am!

Especially because this is what it looks like.

"Borrowed" the pictures from a friend's blog.

That's all short and sweet.

A Mish Mash of Nothing.

I really need to get better at this blogging thing.
I can't believe it is November. So far today I have put the 30th of October on everything and then I remember October is gone....sigh.
I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays however.
I love all of the family time you spend with cousins, aunts, parents, grandparents, neices. That is what I love about the holidays.
I am also one of those crazy people who loves it when they play holiday specials on tv. I watch most of them to try and get me in the mood for the holiday season.
I am a little nervous how the day of presents will be this year. I am trying not to use that word as much as I possibly can until after Thanksgiving.
Adam and I have always enjoyed our own little 'C' since we have been married but this year will be different. We will still go to my parent's for breakfast and his for dinner but what about when we open presents and all of that fun stuff. It sounds like it shouldn't matter that much but I am really going to miss our little 25th of December all by ourselves.
Hopefully it is only this year and that we will have our own place by next year.
I am still working on my new blog and hoping to have it up in the next couple of weeks. I want to get some of my favorite pie recipes posted on there BEFORE Thanksgiving. I decided to try wordpress (the free one) to help my friend with her's since she bought her URL.....wordpress is hard >:(
Anyways I am hoping it will turn out how I want and be a lot of fun.
Well there is really nothing new with Adam and I except we did find the house we would love to build so we will see if our plans work out the way we want and maybe next summer we will have our very own brand new place but if not oh well I guess.

Thanks for reading my way random post I hope you are all doing well and had a spooky and safe Halloween.
