A boy and his cello

Just a few pictures of Travis and his cello. My poor computer is about ready to be replaced. It took forever to upload these and keeps freezing on me. Another expense  we cant afford right now.

COuld it really be the end of the world??

Hostess annouced this morning that they are closing. NO MORE TWINKIES!!! What is this world coming to? I don't eat twinkies very often but sometimes you just crave a twinkies, with the yellow cake and that creamy filling. What are future generations going to do without twinkies and ding dongs and those yummy little chocolate dounuts?? I may have to buy a lifetime supply of twinkes, only problem is dont they expire??

Well in other news I got to watch my oldest nephew Travis play the cello for the first time last night. He did really good and looked really scared. I will post some pictures of that this weekend while I am locked away in the house enjoying the rain. I had to laugh though, the cello is almost as big as he is.

Thanksgiving is next week??

How is it possible that Thanksgiving is next week?? I don't remember it even being November yet. Maybe I have just been to busy to see that the year is flying by.

In October we lost our little inside kitty, Bella. One night she just went to sleep and didn't wake up. We still arent sure of what happened to her. It could be that she was just sick. Now my old mean cat has decided that the dog is his best friend and he wants to be inside all of the time. Which is fine except for the fact that he wants to get up and be feed at 6 am! My alarm is not set for that early. If I am not up he climbs on me and headbutts me and then rubs his cold nose all over my face. At least he hasnt started to bite me to wake me up. If it wasnt so cold outside he would be sleeping outside again. I cant close the bedroom door because he stands on the other side of it and crys. Damn annoying cat. He doesnt want to sit next to you either, he wants to sit on you. Dont know why in his old age he has decided to be nice.

Anyway one day I will download my camera and post some Halloween pictures. I just seem to forget to do that too.

Do I have time to be sick?

That answer would be no!! Yesterday I was burning hot, and sneezing and coughing quite a bit so last night I took some cold medicine and went to bed. Woke up this morning expecting to feel better but no I feel worse. Now i have all that and a scratchy throat. I don't have time to be sick right now. Was going to bring emergency c to work today but I forgot it at home. Good thing I work in a place where there is plenty if Vitamin C!!

Oops

I guess I should update this more often. Not much is new around here. Jeremy had gotten a job with DIal security and they laid him off after 7 days because the supervisor didn't feel like it was going to work out. I am beyond frustrated with the job market here. We filled out applications for Vons and Albertsons on Friday night, yesterday I had him call Vons to check on it and found out that they do open interviews on Mondays, would have been nice to know that when I filled out the application. I am now wondering if each vons store does that and maybe the each do it on a different day. I am still working and I am still part time but at least I am bringing in some money. I am about out of ideas on where to find Jeremy a job. Keep your fingers crossed that he can get a job at a grocery store, maybe we will get discounted groceries.

Aerosmith concert!

Last Monday I finally got to see Aerosmith play at the Hollywood Bowl. Of course they didn't allow cameras in and I tried to take some with my phone but we were far enough away that they came out terrible. Our seats ended up being almost dead center but we were towards the top, just one giant section down from the top. But they were good enough for me to finally enjoy seeing my favorite band. Cheap Trick opened for them and they were pretty good, I am not sure if I like their new music or not but they still sound the same. Aerosmith played for 2 hours so I definitely got my money's worth. For their last song they brought out a surprise guest and it was none other than Johnny Depp or Captian Jack Sparrow. He played his guitar with them and sounded great. My video I took of it was really blurry from the bright lights so I borrowed the above video from YouTube. I still couldn't believe my luck that I got to not only see Aerosmith but I also saw my favorite actor play with them. It was such a great night. I also learned at the bowl it is best to pay the money for valet parking. It was really easy to get my car afterwards and was able to get out of the parking lot a lot quicker!

Importance of annoying things

Yep, that title makes no sense what so ever! Having a hard week this week. Last week our oven finally decided to quit lighting so we can not bake anything, including onion soup potatoes that I so desperatly wanted but we had to cook them in a frying pan instead which meant more oil, but hey who doesnt love fried potatoes??? THen Jeremy's air conditioning in the truck decided to stay ON with the truck OFF....really it stayed on. So $200 later we now have a air conditioning that turns off when it is supposed to. Today I am going to the fun female doctor....hoping to not have to have all of those fun things done when I am there. Really I am just going in to talk to her about a special pill to take that makes you ovulate more and increases the chances of pregnancy. I do not have insurance at the moment but we feel we really shouldnt wait much monger. Who cares if there is no insurance or money in the bank..people have kids all the time without insurance or money...maybe I will get insurance faster at work if there is a kid on the way.
