That's Not What Happens

Means: Everyone seems to quickly realize how creepy I really am.

2. I believe that all happens for a reason and that reason may not be for us to understand, just to accept.

Means: I haven't been single long so I can afford to be picky.

7. Weekend in Vegas and having it totally comp'd is awesome, going to an African wedding in Kenya was a blast, tango'ng in Argentina was an experience, and swimming with sharks in Belize was an adrelaine rush.

I Am Blogging Again!

Yay! We have a computer! It is older and slower than a Sunday driver, but it works and I can blog. Now I just need to get someone to read this blog...

Quick updates for now... Kaemie is no longer playing volleyball. Kenna broke one of her newly repaired legs in September. Kaemie and I worked at a haunted house over Halloween. I failed at NaNoWriMo again. I switched jobs and now work for the county developmental disability organization. Kaemie was in the school district-wide production of Footloose. Dad bought me a Ford Explorer that I love. Kenna just keeps growing.

Oh my gosh! I am just so excited to be blogging again. I am going to download pictures to this dinosaur (computer) and tell more stories!

Oh! I Have Missed You!

I have missed my blog so much. Being without a computer SUCKS! That's right, I said SUCKS! I haven't posted any birthday pictures, humorous or tragic stories, or fascinating updates on my life in months! Luckily, I'm the only one who cares.

Today is November 1, and you know what that means! Oh... you don't? Ok, November is National Novel Writing Month. Check it out at www.nanowrimo.org and find out all about it. The simple explanation is that it is time to WRITE A NOVEL - in thirty days. 50,000 words in 30 days. I've "participated" for three years and never succeeded. I hope to change that this year. Even without a computer. I'm hoping that working 3rd shift one night a week will give me about eight hours to get some writing done. Yup, that's why I started to blog again today - so I could procrastinate on THE VERY FIRST DAY! I suck. But here I go, I'm going to get started on this now.

Ok, NOW.

How about now?

Well, I'll get back here to update as much as I can, but I can tell already that I'm going to be so busy on the novel that I won't be here much.

Ok, NOW!

Should I Feel Safe With These Two? I Need My Brains Almost Every Day!

Kaemie reported to a local school on June 14 to continue performing as a Zombie extra in a locally produced movie. This day was not nearly as long as the previous shoots, although we are all learning that working on a move is a lot of "sit around and wait." She got her makeup done again and I think it is a compliment to say that she makes a beautiful zombie!

This scene was being filmed on a playground, so they had a lot of kids around. The crew even asked Kenna if she wanted to be a zombie! Who knew Kenna's walk was perfect for this role? She had her costume torn up -

- then went to makeup -

- and took Zombie 101 class -

- to get the perfect zombie look!

My beautiful girls...

Fun with Food

On June 29, Kenna had kidney and bladder tests at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Kaemie and Grandma Andra decided to go with us. It wasn't a fun trip... until we went to have lunch at Fritz's. The restaurant is Railroad themed - there are trains everywhere. We sat down at our table and placed our order by phone. When the order was ready a train carried it on overhead tracks to our table where it was dropped onto a tray and lowered to the table. Of course we had to wear the hats...
