Eminem - Not Afraid

:(

The one thing I dislike in life is disappointing someone...
Yes, I know it happens but if I can stop it for happening I would prefer it.

Last night I had to call Jen & tell her that I couldn't spend the day with LJ... I started to feel achy all over & sick. Now normally it wouldn't matter. But he has his surgery Thursday. He can't get sick... This has to take place.

I just got off the phone with him & he told me he was a little scared. Not LJ.. he has never said that to me. It made my heart just ache more... I'm still not better & I can't see him. :(

So my friends say a prayer for LJ... my Jacob.

This week I was going to list & play my all time favorite songs for 2010. MY top 10... But today this one is for my LJ... Here's to you LJ I wish I was next to you & singing (rappin it) with you!!!

*NSYNC - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas!!!!

Wishing you the best on this wet Christmas day in the Pacific Northwest!!!

I hope Santa was good to you. I had an extra gift under my tree marked to a friend with a note to me from Santa. So I will follow the instructions & mail it to my friend. Santa must of forgot to leave it under his tree....

May today bring you joy & happiness....

All my love to my family & friends.
:D

Alvin & the Chipmunks - Christmas Time is Here

:D

1 SLEEP!!!!!

I went out last night to get the stocking things for the boys & Len...
Had a ball wearing my Santa hat, my sun roof open heater on Christmas music playing. I just love to do shopping on the last few days. I know that sounds crazy but to me black Friday & Christmas Eve are the best.

So on this Eve what would be better the the Chipmunks singing a Christmas song.

ENJOY!!!!

Wish List - Neon Trees

2 sleeps...
As a kid I love waking up on Christmas morning. I would walk out slowly to see all the gifts under the tree. Once I saw them I would run to the tree. I grow up with 4 other sibling 4 brothers. Our ages ran from 7 to 1 year apart I was the 4th child. So I would look all over to see which gifts were mine... Now you have to understand one very important detail in this story. WE all had gifts under the tree before Christmas. Our folks like other parents having gifts out for the kids to see. BUT I was looking for the ones that said "Santa"... Yup Santa the big guy!! haha

I don't know what age it was that we stop seeing Santa at the mall or even when we stopped writing letters to him. But I always thought he know what I wanted you know secretly. Cause 80 % of the time I got what I wanted... :) So Santa thank you!!!

This year I really don't need anything. That might sound funny to you but I really don 't need much. I have had a great year. Got the 3 metals I wanted for the 2 marathons I did. Thank you Amanda... you are my hero.
I have good friends, a loving family, saw BEP~Daughtry~GaGa(again). Yes, a few heart aches... but if you know me I love deeply & hurt deeply too. You know that's all part of life loving & caring... hurting as well.

So this Christmas I am asking you my friends to do one thing for me on Christmas... Wish...when night falls & the stars come out make a wish. What I want is for you to get your wish to come true.

<3

*NSYNC - Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day

Ho Ho Ho... did you know

that...
Fulfilling wishes & dreams or just doing something special is like being a secret Santa.

Cause Santa knows that:
It warms your heart.
Put a smile on your face.
Even made your day.
Sometimes it lasts for a few weeks...

So I wonder...
Who is this SANTA?
He might be a she...
He or she might not have white hair...ummm maybe red.
She might be as jolly as him.
BUT most of all he or she loves you even if your naughty or nice.

So if you have been"Santa" by someone.
Know it was from their heart given to you in secret, cause it's the little things in life that mean so much.
To the person who got the gifts...
Trust Santa he or she knew it meant so much to you too.
That's why it was done...

To everyone who has ever had a secret Santa or believes in Santa...
You are special.

Peppermint Winter - Owl City - Lyrics - Full Song!

So what's your dream, if you could dream of anything?...

...My dream. My dream was a perfect day and I'm just finishing it. My dream is to be with people I love, that love each other and that love me.
"The Ultimate Gift." One of my favorite lines from this movie.

What's your dream this Christmas??
If I could dream of anything it would be to have 2 mins more with my Dad.
To look in his eyes to tell him he did ok with rising me. See my dad didn't think he was a great father. I disagree. My Dad was someone who I could fall back on. He wasn't gentle by any mean but he was there always there.... I love you & miss you Papa Bear!! Love #4 "Trouble Jr"

On this & that note....

1. Dryer is fix... I not saying anything else on the subject, I don't want to jinks it...
2. My tree & I made up... Sat nite after the soccer game. It's up & shinning bright! It took a bit to come to an understanding but we did.... 3 strands didn't want to go on but Len stepped in & fix that. Nice to know that sometimes you need to be apart to know what you have & miss.
3. I'm still baking.
4. I have two more Faber gifts to get out...

I wish you all a great day... Happy Tuesday!!
:D

Kelly Clarkson - My Grown Up Christmas List w/lyrics

Thank you Santa...

IT"S SNOWING as I blog this...

I know we are not forecast for snow this coming weekend. I SOOOO BADLY want a White Christmas. But Santa thank you for my wish of snow today. I love my Christmas gift early!!

I'm a simple girl... All I really want this year is for ALL my family & friends is to be happy!!
I miss you all so much & all I can say is I love you.

Baby it's cold...

And I want it to snow!!!!

All we need is some mositure in the air now (and not to warm up). I moved to Washington in Oct of 1992.
I have seen an:
White winter
White Christmas Eve
White Dec 26th...
BUT never a white Christmas. In 2008 we were a way for that Christmas it snow the whole time we were gone. I missed it all... and all the fun that comes with snow. The day we came back it was melting away.
So, Santa all I want for Christmas is snow. I don't need anything else... I just want a white Christams.

8 more sleeps my jolly friend. :D
Cookie exchange tonight. I made Lemon Bread & Chocolate Mint Thumb Prints. Yummy....

Happy Friday & National Maple Syrup Day.

Words...

In every day life we talk using "our" words. To say want we need & want, to say how we feel.

I love you...
I miss you...
I'm so mad...
I'm sad...

To your friends & family they understand you & love you for who you are. Not perfect "just you"being the best is all you can be. Nothing more or less. Tonight I saw a friend & it hit me... How much I miss this person "my friend." I wish we didn't live so far apart. But our lives are this way right now. At one point I was lost for words... yes something that doesn't happen much.
I wish I would of say what I needed to say but I found myself just looking & listening. Understanding what is going on in their life. And now missing them ever so much.

Well... I guess the point I want to share is this... use your words if it comes in the form of a smile, a hug or a letter. Words just don't come out of your month they are in your soul.
Embraces them.

I love you!!
I miss you!!
I wish I would of said this...

This & That....

1. Dryer still not fixed. Len got this thing that tells you what part is bad. He has narrowed it down, got the part yesterday. Went to put it in, broke another part by mistake. :/
   
2. I'm still like 3 days behind my "normal" Christmas schedule. The Martha Stewart in me...
   
3. My tree & I are still broken up... Don't look puzzled by this remark. It's me blogging remember... After I got it up all the lights went out. YES, I check each strand. I always do... Now after I went out & got all new lights cause we had 4 bad strands this year I got the dang thing up. Looked beautiful... was up for a bit & the lights went out! I just looked at it & well to say the least cried. I was beat... my hands killing me. Why didn't I have Len help?? I was going to surprise him with it being done. He has been working a lot. I was done... I went to bed. I got up early the next day played with it more. At times it was on then off... no lights! So I took the dang thing down & put in our gym for a lonngggg time out. haha I have to make "light" of it all.
4. Cookie exchange tomorrow... I'm down to like 4 cookie ideas.
   
5. I have this one person to get a little something for & I have NO idea what to get!! :/
6. Hope to get the family gifts mailed today.
   

Well today will be a long day of baking, shopping & getting all last minute things done.
I have one thing to say. Thank you Lord for ALEVE!!!! I think I found a over the counter pill to help my hand. I dislike taking the drugs the doc gives me. They make me feel weird & non-functional all the time. So the makers of Aleve.. my hat is off to you. Now where can I send a thank card & box of homemade fudge?!?!

Wishing everyone a great day & YES 9 more sleeps till SANTA!!! HO HO HO...
Have you been naughty or nice?? I been both... but in a good way.
Keeping secrets.
Not sharing with my family my health problems.
Not always asking for help.
Stubborn to say the least.....
All naughty things for good reasons.
BUT on the other hand...
Santa knows what box he will check...

:D

SMILES...

1. The jolly old man comes to town in 1o sleeps.
2. Movies... Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, Fred Claus & The Ultimate Gift. If you haven't seen "The Ultimate Gift" rent it now... MY FAVORITE!!!

Happy Birthday to my Mom.. I miss you... I know you watch over me each day & blessed to have an "Angel" like you over me. You always were my perfect fan.... Thank you for the love you showed me, for the foundation you gave me & being my best friend.

Update...

LJ came down with strep!!!! His arm surgery was this Thursday. So it has been rescheduled to Dec 30th.. he was so pissed!! I never met someone who like havig surgery before but the kid does. I think it's being out of school for some extra days. LJ says no... haha

I told him to look at this way.
We can have some more fun doing things like...

1. ROLLER SKATING again....
2. If not raining we can go to the skate park.
3. Bowling... I plan on winning all the games this time.
4. Sleep over with late night movie watching.

So keep LJ in your prayers...

I laugh to myself these days cause I always wanted a LJ in my life a Jr for one of the 5 boys I wanted... For the past year I have had one after all.... All due to another Jake in my life :D huh funny how God puts things in your life for a reason. Sometimes they are right in front of you and you don't even know it...

Till the next time my friends...

:D

WAIT... You want to do what?!?!

Were do I even start with today's blog...
The past...
About 339 days ago I went skating(roller) with LJ & 2 of his friends. It was Christmas vacation & the boys wanted to do something different then a movie. I was thinking back to the last time I skated. I felt my blood sugar drop(I'm a diabetic) & fighting with my sugars going to low. So I know NO meds that day & eat high carbs to keep my sugars high I'll be ok....

Half way though the skating session I felt good not feeling a thing like I do when my blood goes low, getting the shakes~being confused~having my sight fuzzy feeling all together bad.

All I can remember that day was having fun laughing with the boys... I was on the floor doing my thing and the next thing I was 6 inch from the wood floor. "BOUNCING" my face & hitting the floor. I grabbed my nose blood coming out. The boys rushing over to me as well as everyone else. I could hear LJ saying to me "did you trip?"... I'm a dork I can trip over air. The other question he asked me was "where your blood kit??" I love that boy. Looking after me. (it was in the car... lj: why isn't it with you??) Then there was me thinking "just focus..." the boys can't freak out cuz I've got blood coming out of my nose. Me: telling them I'm fine no no no don't call the EMT's. It's all good... well maybe.

I didn't go to the doc that night... I felt fine.. a little embarrassed maybe. But the next day... I looked even worst!!! So off to the docs with my 2 black eyes. To end up with a concussion, a fat lip and a broken nose!!! Who knew... not me. I still felt fine. Which leads me to here....

The present...

After the fun Thursday we had LJ wanted to go roller skating.
Me: sure... WAIT... you want to do what??!!

All I could do is go back in time & remember that crazy day less then a week before Christmas wondering if it would happen again. I'm a fan of "lets do it again" but not of braking my nose. I hope it's a once in a life time thing for me.

What a great time we had on Sat laughing & singing. But the whole time I was making sure I was in tuned to my body check & rechecking how I was feeling... as I am always told "stop over thinking thing" well this time I had to. I am happy to report I didn't fall (on my face or my bum).

below is the famous foot shot of us...

So as our skating time went on we saw a poster for the Bellingham Roller Betties... aka BFT(Blunt Force Trauma). LJ looks at me and says WE have to come back and see it. I was really surprised that he wanted to do this. We had planned to go to the town light parade that night. Tradition for us all... Len was sick & not with us, so my thoughts are sure why not. Also it was windy & cold outside. So bring it on...

What a fun time we had... as we are sitting on the floor of the roller rink I looked around thinking to myself this is one more thing off my bucket list!!! I grow up watching men's & woman's roller derby on TV the Thunderbirds. Always wanting to see it in person. Check it's off my list... :)

What's even more funny is the names on the gals...(BFT)

Ivona Breakbones
Contra VersE

Cat Scrap Fever

Fraid Not

Luna Tick

Mea Q Sweat

Walker Texas Mangle'Her

Astro Glide

On the other team... (SOS)

On 'Da Sligh

Aretha Breaklimbs

Daisy Nuke

Scuttlebutt Jibber Jabber

Tormented Seoul

Asonya Face

Dynamite Bitecha

Lollie Von PerkiPops

LJ favorite skater was 81 Dixy DethDlr. Dixy almost fell on us. LJ was bummed it didn't happen. The BFT won that night. I never even knew Bellingham had Roller Betties. The things you find out by going out with a 9 year old... who enjoys different "fun" like ME.

Below is some pictures of our night.

Bellingham Roller Betties... Blunt Force Trauma

Saints of slaughter ....

.

This boy...

LJ~Jacob Scott Nevins... To most Jake but for me he's LJ. I got tried of saying "no not that Jake the little one." So he became little Jake. Well he's not so little. Pushing 5'1" & climbing. For a 9 year old he's funny~smart~silly~fearless~loving.

I think what I love most about him is way he makes me laugh that life. I'm not at all his mom or even related to him. His mom is a good friend. I was there the day he came into this world. I watched him (as a baby) when she worked full time.. I still watch him & his brother Matt in the morning when Jen drive for the school district. But we have this bond... something I can't even explain. People are always saying "Jen is soooo lucky to have you. You do so much for them..."
But I have to tell you all I"M THE LUCKY ONE!! For some many reason I can't even list.

On Wed Jake wanted to have some LeeLee time after school. I work so we couldn't but Thursday I'm off & we will go do something if it's ok with the folks. LJ... cool text mom now and ask.

Well here's what we ended up doing... BOWLING!!!

I love signs that are missing letters. You can make up different names or things...
This time I used the missing lite letters & the ones that are lite. Pak Bo...

Don't let a 9 year list the players... You just might end up as a "Dork"... hahaha

famous shoe shot!!!
LJ was the one to get a strick!!!
YES!!!!!!!
Happy dancin....


Well I won the last game... HA!! Only by 7 pins. We had a good time & next on the list of fun is this weekend. LJ wants to go roller skating. YEP... wait... you want to do what?!?!
All I can say is this... pray for me not to black out. You know I will post our outing LJ is spending most of the weekend with us. Last time for a bit due to his arm surgery.

**On a side note... I used a 6pd ball & no granny bowling either. I forgot my wrist band but all in all I was sore a little at the end of the day. I'll be going back & doing this again I forgot how much fun it is. I grow up with my parents bowling each week. Anaheim Bowl was a hang out for fun in Jr. high as well as high school. It's gone now...

Progress & changes. Something we all do each day~every day. Like I said the other day I'm not letting this pain in my hand stand in my way. Yes, I'm stubburn but I 'm more pissy if I'm not enjoying the world around me. Trust me I know my limits & I ask for help when needed. Tendentious never really goes away. You learn to live with it. You have good days & bad days... Today bad... tossing a ball around didn't help but I had a great day with LJ.

We ended the day listening to music on the drive home to songs that get you going... pumped up as LJ say. LOL... It all started cuz I wanted to listen to BEP new song which I just love... "The Time" He hadn't heard it... I know he would like it. Next his fav... Eminem "Not Afaird" He nailed it as he puts it. haha

A few songs later a window partly down to share our music with the world we were laughing & singing.

Like I said THIS BOY...

I love you!

It's WED!!! Miles of smiles day.

I look forward to this part of my blog each week. Why?? Well during the week I come across meeting new people~doing funny things & last... making memories.
All these things puts a smile on my face. :D

1) I woke up today started up my ipod & my 2 all time "fav" GaGa songs came on in a row...
** So happy I could die & Wonderful... :D

2) Wearing my new boots!!! (it's a girl thing) I LOVE boots!! :D

3) Texting with my friends... (and not having my hands kill me) :D

4) Playing Christmas music... I have N'Sync playing right now... :D
** Their Winter album.

5) Tomorrow is my Sammy's birthday!!!! I can't beleive we have been best buds for over 20years. OH.. how I miss you but glad we are only 2 states away.

6) Len's birthday the next day after Sam's... :D

7) Last my home all deck out in christmas cheer... :D

8) Got my very first Christmas card in the mail yesterday!! :D

On other things happening around my town & home...

* Light parade this weekend. Hot coco & cookies after at my house.

* LJ gets his plates out of his arm Dec 9th. Good thing the bone is going over the plate. A funny note. They will fix his scar & after his hard cast comes off he'll need to have tape over what they fix. Why is this funny?? SCOTCH TAPE for a year. Really!!! I'm so going to costco & buying a pack to put in his stocking this Christmas. hahaha

* 24 days till Santa comes to Lynden...

* We still have some snow on the sidewalks... I can't wait till the next time it snows.


Till the next time... Happy Wed & Happy National Pie Day!!
mmmmmm "pumpkin pie" sounds soooo good right now! :D
