Crazy Foggy

Look at this crazy fog. At least I'm no long on a busy street and have to fear the bad drivers nearly missing a stop sign.

It's December! I can't believe how quickly time flies. I do feel though like I'm getting back to good -- NOT to quote a Matchbox 20 song! Moving takes a toll, not just on your body, but on the rhythm your body has settled into. That is what I need to get back to good. And I'm getting there.

Happy December!

Happy Birthday Mother!

Today's my Mother's birthday. I've called and left a message. No one has called me back. Whatever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hello Sunshine

Finally, a nice sunny day ... AND the last day of work before a holiday. I'm standing out at my new bus stop waiting to start this day.

With the great sunshine, I had to set something up for the boogers to look out the window. The photo shows the upstairs window to the backyard. It is too bad the photo did not capture the birds that were driving them crazy!!

And this is mi casa...

First Sleepover

Is sleep over one word or two? Seems like it should just be one. Last night was the first night in the new house and I woke up to an amazingly beautiful morning shining in my big nice bedroom windows. It took about 7 hours for the boogers to realize there was more to the house than a basement. All three slept upstairs with me, but have retreated to the basement now that we are moving things again.

Cable guys should be on their way, so I hope to be back to regular blogging soon... With photos.

For those wondering, I LOVE it and no, I'm not drunk yet!! Champaign will flow once the other house is empty!

Galaxie out!

Inspection Day

Today is the final inspection on the new home. I plan to use the time to measure and day dream about how it should be furnished.

In case you needed a morning booger, here he is in all his glory.

Serious Cat is thinking, "Surely you're not serious, srsly".

Newton is playing Serious Cat.

Sunday Sunday

Oh wait. I think the song is, "Monday Monday". Oh well. I have a million things to do today. I am still not completely packed. But I am slowly doing bits and pieces. Correct, that will never get things packed in time, but I am going to think positively. Titans are playing and the race starts in an hour. Plus, it is a beautiful day.

I'm posting this fabulous article about sailing the Caribbean for Brent. He loves this sort of thing. The photo is too beautiful. Makes me miss seeing the ocean.

Having no boat to call his own, the Frugal Traveler shells out $55 a day to join the crew of a schooner for a two-week immersion in the sailing world.

I guess I will get back to things. Einstein is suspicious of all my activities. He knows I should just be sitting on the couch. So he knows something is up. I hope the boogers will not be disappointed in the new house.

Braving the city crowds with Kenneth. WTF "Welcome Kentucky Fans"?? Not right. This makes me need a martini. By the way Preditors fans are out in force!!

She was a wonderful mom and a great friend. I will miss my sweet girl.

Boogers in Bandanas

Boogers got their souvenirs today. Bandanas!! They love them. Well, Edie hasn't gotten her's yet. But the boys love them. Never mind that they say "Cancun"... I know they can't read. Der. Edie's is Orange. Her photo will follow later.

Facebooks is weird

So I just took this "quiz" on facebook. I think this is strange. But at least I know Imboden.

Carol completed the quiz "Which Small Town in Arkansas should you live in." with the result Imboden.

............Just be nice to em here or you will get your ass kicked, just watch out for them damn goats.

Work.... wait, what?

Donde' esta mi coffee, Senor?

crap.....

I guess I have to go back to work today. That kinda sucks.

Happy Birthday Sesame Street!

La Isla via del barco

This is how one should always tour an island:



con cerveza y tequila. Si!

I've also mastered the fine art of floating in the Caribbean with a glass of beer, just off Playa del Norte. You may see me in that Corona commercial. Ah Si.

More Sun

It is an amazingly beautiful day here. Clear sky and clear water. Think it is a perfect day to take a jaunt around the island. Si. Via el barco.

Buenos dias.

Best Thing to Do Ever = Snorkel

I was not able to take photos underwater. I think they make cameras for that, but I was a little preoccupied to think of anything other than what was in front of me. I barely remembered to swim. On a snorkel trip, or at least on mine, we all jumped in and followed our leader. There was one in front and one in back, I guess to keep track of people like me not paying much attention. Our leader called out interesting things to look at below or would help identify what we saw. I never heard anything he said. I could not keep up.

When I got in the water, I was initially shocked at the big roll of the water. It was a cloudy day and the water was actually pretty calm, but there were dark clouds coming in. I don't know how all that affects the water, but it was rolling big time. But once I got the mask on tight and got used to the breathing thingy, I looked down and the world was gone. We were supposed to swim along with our guide. But all I wanted to do was lay there and watch the life underwater. I was mesmerized. I think when I first looked down, I yell through my breathing thingy, "holy crap!" It is like swimming in an aquarium.

I did try keeping up with the group. Granted, the guide knew what he was doing and took us to some great reefs and corals and we saw amazing fish. Mostly there were pretty yellow fish, but periodically we would run into schools of these bright blue fish and then ones that looked electric blue. I didn't want to ever leave. I could have just floated on my belly and watched the fish. The yellow ones seemed to swim next to me with an expression that said, "hey, whatcha doin?" It weirded me out a little like I was being followed. Eventually though, I got tired. It was not difficult to swim along, and you don't really feel the rolling waves when you are face down (except you get strangely close and then far from the fish you are next to), but when you come up and try to listen to the guide, it is a little tiring from the roll.

I totally recommend you snorkel and any opportunity. The only photos from the trip are of the guides and the captain. They were terrific and extremely helpful.
