June 15th!

Today is the official start of Monsoon Season! I should be happy considering that this is my favorite time of year. But an out of towner would never know what today was! Where is the wind? Where is the rain? Where is the ginormous, massive wall of dust that you can see coming for miles until you are in it and cant see 2 inches in front of you? Not here? I LOVE monsoon season. I really do look forward to it! Makes for crapping birthday planning when both Darren and Jaycee's birthdays land in the middle of it but still! Bring on the monsoon!!!

Idol

I watched American Idol last night while the kids were sleeping and Michael snored on the couch. I was SOOOO excited to see all the famous singers that they had as guests on the show. It just kept getting better and better! Then came Rod Stewart. I know what you are thinking. What does she know about Rod Stewart, right? Well truth be told, I am a HUGE fan of Rod! My dad got me started quite a long time ago and I have loved him ever since. He sings some of my all time fave songs! Broken Arrow, For the First Time, Have I told You Lately, I don't want to Talk about It and If We Fall in Love Tonight just to name a few lol. He seriously is the best! I agree that he is getting up there in age and that his dancing, or what was perceived as dancing, on stage looked more like a drunken stupor, but regardless, I love him! That got me thinking about other faves of mine. Like Steve Martin! LOVE him too! I don't know if its because he is a comedic GENIUS and that I love ALL the movies that he has EVER made or if it is that he looks like an older version of my dad. Father of the Bride hooked me and I have loved him ever since! And then, my beloved Robin Williams. Oh how he makes me laugh! Patch Adams, Mrs. Doubtfire and so on and so on. I cant get enough of these guys. And there are a couple of my other faves like Journey and Houie Lewis and the News. There is my dad again! I can thank him for hooking me at such a young age to these oldie but goodies. Lastly, I will end it on the weather, yet another thing that I am LOVIN the last couple days. I love the rain, I love Monsoons and the rain the last couple days is reminding me of the storms yet to come. Bring it on!

Ran across another Oldie

It is crazy to see this picture. My Aunt Cindy sent it to me a couple of weeks ago. At first I laughed, cause I don't think any of us look the same, except maybe Michael lol.

This picture was taken on Thanksgiving day in 2003. I found out a couple months after this that I was pregnant with Darren. So it was only about 2 weeks after this picture that I was pregnant and didn't know it.

There is one person in this picture that passed, a second cousin I haven't seen in years, a great Aunt that lives in Colorado, my cousins old girlfriend and then the rest of my family that I get to see on a pretty regular basis. All in all though, its hard to look at this picture and think that at that time, Michael and I were both living in our house without kids. Weird. I cant imagine my life without them.

Oldies

I uploaded some pictures from Vancies party at my sisters house yesterday and found some old pictures that she had taken that I had never seen. Here is a new/old fave.

Horoscope

Your horoscope for April 28, 2009

You may find that an emotional issue is rubbing you the wrong way today, Cara. Your tendency is to want to escape. Try to do so in a healthy manner. Go out and see a movie or read a book. Don't fall prey to the temptation to indulge in large amounts of drugs and alcohol. This will only push the problems away temporarily. When they resurface again, they may be even harder to handle.

Okay, now aside from the drugs and alcohol part, this is so dead on. Weird that it was brought up in my horoscope though, considering the circumstances. Oh well, here's hoping for a better day than yesterday, and the day before for that matter!

Blah!

My allergies have gotten the best of me, yet again! Really, just ask my right nostril!
