Cute Baby

I received this email today at work and thought it was cute though this mother had a lot of time on her hands!

This little girl's mother is a computer specialist from Helsinki , Finland . While her daughter is soundly asleep, she creates a completely different world ... from whatever she can find around her! That's how both of them became really famous. What a truly fabulous imagination!

Valentine's Day

Last night while watching the Golden Globe Awards I put all my Valentine stuff out. Then I thought to myself, who came up this holiday? Why does everyone get chocolates and flowers? Who started the trend?  Anyone out there know the answer to these questions?

Basketball vs. Football

Today, I slept in for a little while and then I had to get ready to go to the Illinois basketball game. Andy surprised me with tickets a few weeks ago. Such a great husband! Anyways though , we went out to lunch and then headed to the game. The place was packed with fans that's for sure. There was a fair share of Illinois fans too. I was pretty surprised. The game started and this guys sat down next me and he had one of those radios in his ear. He was commenting on everything that was going on and cursing. Really dude, do you think they can hear you? Sometimes I wanted to laugh at the guy because of what he was saying but I held it in.  In the end, Illinois lost! It was pretty sad.  They left a lot of points out on the court today and there were a lot of bad calls and no calls made.  Maybe next time.

Now were home and watching the football... Whose going to win? We truly are a sports household!

GRANDPA

Today is my Grandpa's Birthday. I have been thinking about him for several days now. It was this time last year that I was visiting him in the ICU. That was the last time I saw him before he passed away. I was very strong today at work and made myself not think to much about it. I had a few tears through out the day but that's to be expected. Grandpa was like a father to me. He walked me down for my wedding and was always there to listen and much more! I miss you grandpa and grandma!

Haircut

Well I chopped my hair and put some layers into it. I was debating whether to put high lights in or not. The lady said it would be ok because I could always go back to my natural color if I didn't like it. I'm still scared to do it though. I have never colored my hair before. My hair is virgin !! I will post a pic soon!

Saturday at Home

Tonight , I'm hanging out at home laying on the couch. I didn't feel all that great this morning. Lets just say we had a good time out with friends last night.  Since I stayed in tonight, I watched a new movie on tv that had Brook White in it. She was on American Idol in 2008. It was really a great movie and it talked about how things can change in a matter of minutes. Your whole life is was on a certain path and then you change paths.

You can plan so many things in life and then some things you can't plan at all. For example, find a house, make sure our jobs our secure, plan to have a family.How much do you plan out in your life?

Bowl Games

Who comes up with all these bowl games? The names and the places? Crazy... Andy was just flipping through the channels and there is a Go Daddy Go Bowl game.. Are you kidding me!!!

Bowling and other Random things......

Tonight , I would normally be bowling with the ladies. However not so much tonight. Because I was a klutz and fell down the stairs as my husband says, I managed to sprain my Achilles tendon. NOT COOL! Tonight, I tried to bowl a couple of balls and it just wasn't working. I put my shoes back on and that was the end of that. Who knows when I will be able to bowl again.. Oh well...

Today at work someone asked me ," Do you ever get upset and show it?" I told him if I do I normally don't show it or I bottle it up. I'm just the type of person who doesn't get mad a lot. It take a lot for me to get upset. What do you do when you get upset?

Calendar

So every year I get a new calendar and have to transfer all the birthday's from one to the other. As I started to write all the birthday's on the new one, I turned to January. The first name on it was my Grandpa, Fay. He passed away last year and it was one of the hardest things I have had to deal with. Out of any deaths in my 28 years of living, I believe that my Grandpa's was the hardest. I mean I still think about all who have passed in my lifetime but I"m constantly reminded every day or something is triggered to think about my Grandpa and Grandma. They were both very special people in my life and I will never forget that. How do you move on from one's death. You really can't. Especially when it's someone as important as they were to me. Thinking of you Grandpa and Grandma!

Random Thoughts

I'm ready for my ankle/ foot to be better. I'm ready to wear my high heals back to work but I don't think I will be doing that anytime soon. It stinks falling down a set of stairs and spraining your Achilles tendon pretty bad.

Yesterday, was the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin was in it but they didn't win. They did try their hardest though but TCU beat them. A lot of fans were disappointed that's for sure. I wonder what happens to all the pre-made stuff ?

Tonight , is the start of a reality tv show called " Worst cooks in America ". I love watching this show. Some people really just can't cook. I would like to do on that show and learn how to be a better cook. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone a little more these days but still..

Anyways though , better get ready for the rest of the day.

It's a New Year

Happy New Year to all the people out there! I think this year will bring great things. At least I hope it does. Anyone have any good goals out there this year? I haven't really thought to much about it yet . However I have done some cleaning and giving things I don't need anymore to others. Makes you feel good. I still have some other stuff to do but I'm working on it. Anyways though I'm going to really try to stay up to date on my blog this year. I know I keep saying that but I'm really going to try.
