Yummy!

are the M&M's that I ate last nite and hopefully will have tonight too, if Lance doesn't eat them all when he gets home! (You better not Mister!!) I failed in my attempt to eat all of them. I only had a couple of handfuls. That's good news to my pants as they won't have to strain to fit around my butt and waist!!
So I really don't have anything too interesting to tell you but I don't want to give up on my NY resolution so I'm blogging about nothing-ness!
One of my fellow TTCer (Kat) googled her name with ~needs~ after it so I thought I'd do the same! Here are my results of "Kelly Needs":

• Kelly needs her brother backstage. -not really as I'm definitely not a singer/performer
• Kelly needs a little guidance. -true, true
• Kelly needs a quivering antenna. -not so much!!
• Kelly needs modesty (something to do with nude pics!) -ha ha ha!! This one is true except for the nude pics part. Pa.ris Hil.ton I'm not!! I've always said it's real life or not at all.
• Kelly needs to prepare and think about a hundred things. -yep, that could work
• Kelly needs this guy banned. -well, no.

I'll stop there as the next few where about R.Kelly. We don't need to go there:)

So that's it for today!! It's almost Friday !! YAY:) Lance comes home tonight! Double YAY (wink wink!!) (Sorry if you're reading this Mom!! You might want a mental bleaching!! tee hee).

Don't tell Lance!!!!

Target had chocolate on sale (2 bags for $4) so I picked up a couple of bags of peanut butter M&M's!! YUMMY!! There is nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate! It's my absolute fav:) Well, I guess Matt.hew McCona.ughy and a Corona on a secluded beach would be my absolut fav but again don't tell Lance! tee hee hee Anyway, I got off the subject! So back to my chocolate...Lance doesn't come home until tomorrow evening so on my "to do" list is get rid of all the chocolate!! Do you think if I eat the M&M's while walking on the treadmill it will balance out at the end? I'll try it and let you know how it goes! So much for weight loss! Oh well, life's too short not to enjoy some goodies:)

Still cold...

OK, there is a distinct possibility that I might complain about the weather and coldness for the next week or so. Bare with me! It's freaking cold here!! I need a vacation!
Alright, I'm done.

For today: a busy run from store-to-store day, after I'm done with work of course.
On the to do list:
-go to Michaels for a new scrap things for an album I'm working on as a gift
-go to Scheels Sports and try to find adhesive stretchy tape for Faith's leg (I can't find that stuff anywhere!!)
-go to barn to exercise Faith and re-wrap her leg
-exercise myself (treadmill+me+45 mins=sweaty, tired girl!!)
-make final adjustments to Ember's engagement pics
-edit and print of pics for scrapbook gift album
-pick out clothes to order for NDQHA
-vacuum
-laundry
Crap, that's a long list! I've got more too! EEK!! I'll just leave it at that and hope that I can get half of it done:) I lead such an exciting life. ha!

Brrrrr!

It's freaking freezing here! It's getting colder too! How can that be? Isn't it suppose to warm up as the day goes on? Not in MN/ND! It's also windy (not surprising) which makes it even worse. I believe it's 16 below and 32 below with the wind chill. YIKES! Thank goodness I have great in-laws who called last night and suggested that they come pick up the dogs this morning so they didn't have to go outside all day in the cold since Lance hits the road again and I work all day. How nice is that?? Now we have winter/snow dogs with hair/fur like you wouldn't believe so the dogs are not being abused when we put them in their kennel that is attached to the garage. They can come inside the garage and lay on their heated pad whenever they want too. They love to just lay outside in the snow but even this morning they wanted back inside as soon as they did their "business"! The offer from my in-laws comes just hours after Lance picked up the dogs up from G&G Haugen's as they had them for the weekend while we were in Bismarck. The dogs love it at G&G's house. There's so much to explore and play in/with. Whenever we get them back from G&G's, they are always exhausted. It's too cute:)
So here is a big huge THANK YOU shout out and hug to my in-laws. We really appreicate all that you do for us!!! I think we'll keep you:)

Finally Friday:)

YAY!! We have a fun-filled, action-packed weekend ahead of us so we're going to hit the ground running come 4pm. It'll be nice to spend some quality time with the hubby as we've had nothing but relative-filled time. Not that that is a bad thing but it's nice to get some alone time even if it is while driving to and from scenic Bismarck, ND!

Back to that vacation...I want to go here:

Or here:

I'm not picky! Either one would work for me:) I just want somewhere hot, tropical, sunny and relaxing! Anyone have any suggestions for me/us? We've been to Hawaii, Jamaica, Ixtapa (Mexico)...where else?? I think that's it for tropical. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Have a great weekend!

A new look.

I've been playing with the look of my blog. It just wasn't quite right. I have aspirations of FINALLY making my header/title as I recently found the directions on the correct format/size/ect. So watch out for the new title in the next week.

Today is all work. I have the farrier (man that trims a horse's feet/hooves and puts steel or aluminum shoes on --for you non-horse people!!) coming after work and then I must pack all my gear and all the NDAQHA awards as Lance and I are off to Bismarck for the NDQHA meeting and banquet this weekend. It's always fun to see the people you spend all spring, summer and fall with. I'm starting to get some spring fever (WAY too soon for someone who lives in MN!!) and seeing horse people never helps with that! I'm going to have to convince Lance that we need to go on vacation. He's already going to Vegas in March for Nascar but that really isn't my cup of tea plus I'm on call. So I'm thinking Mexico or back to Jamaica! What a perfect way to spend my 30th birthday!! I'll let you know how that goes...

I was going to leave you with some pictures but apparently Blogger hates me. I'll work on that for tomorrow:)

I MUST put the book down!

Ugh... I need a nap already and it's only 8am! My mom got me started on reading the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evonvich (sp??). They are AWESOME!! That is why, for the last 3 nights, it was 11:30pm before I was able to pry the book out of my hand and go to bed. I'm on the 3rd book right now and have heard (via mom) that they just get better and better. I don't know if I can handle it!! :)

I have also been playing with Ember and Aaron's engagement photos that were taken by my new Nikon D40X (thank you wonderful hubby!) on my new Photoshop Elements 6.0 (thanks Lee for the Christmas present even if I had to sit on you to make you by me something, you crap!). I bought some actions from Lady Ren and they are awesome!! I will post them after I let Ember pick her favorite just in case she wants to ~unveil~ them:) There is so such you can do with PSE and I'm sure I haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg!

For you scrapbookers... I did finish my album/journal for Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas class on time last Sunday. This is the finished product:

It was a great experience and I will definitely be doing it again next year. I'm will certainly make some pages ahead of time to help with those crazy busy days that I just didn't have time. That way I won't fall behind, as I did (slightly) this year.

Happy Hump Day:)
