Before and After

Saturday, September 17, 2005

Before: After:

So there you go...now you can all make your own opinions. When looking for a before pic, I noticed that in almost every picture that I have of me, I have my hair up! I'll try to work on that...well maybe not until I dye it back blonde, since Ian doesn't like this, supposed to be natural, should have been light brown, but now it's kinda reddish at the top, look.

Ever wonder what goes on in the "It's my turn..." household at night? Well, there's a thunderstorm outside right now and we're all stuck in. We jsut finished eating dinner and now...

Ian:


Me:(another glimps at the dark hair)


Even the boy:

Sure hope we don't loose power in the storm.LOL What would we do then?

Let's try this.

I'm going to try and post the images inside the post....let's see if it works.

First is the laundry center that Ian build for me...check it out,


and another,




Here is the bar room that he built down stairs in the spare room off the laundry room, laundry and a drink...sounds good to me,



Ok, no I have to appologize for the promise on the hair pics. I really don't have one yet, we haven't stopped long enough to get one of me with my hair down. So the only pic I have of me since I got my hair dyed is one of me holding Xander the other night but my hair is up and you can't really see it,



The general concensus so far is that I should have left it the way it was....not too many fans of the new darker color, Ian included. Oh well....it will have to do for now. I'll try to get a better one today but first I have to get off this computer and sweep/mop the sand box of a floor that I have, bathe both dogs, go buy them a create...yes, we are going to creat train our dogs 2 1/2 years later! They need to sleep in a create at night. They are both hunting dogs (well Patches anyway) and apparently it's hunting season!lol. Every little sound that she thinks she hears in the middle of the night sends the two of them screaming and howling down the hallway and out the doggy door. I'm suprized they haven't riped that thig down by now, the way they run right into it!
Anyway, here's another pic of Xander in his bouncy chair...his feet finally reach the floor but he won't keep both arms out of the seat so he keeps sinking to the left.


One last thing...look Mary he finally got a helmet! And he actually wears it! Yeah Uncle Ian!!!



Sorry this shot's so blurry but he went flying by so I almost didn't get the shot. They were all blurry like this.
That's the end for now, I'll try to come back when I finish the cleaning...

Dirty Dogs!!

Friday, September 16, 2005

UUUUGGGHHH! Well, we've finally recieved some much needed rain up here in CT. Unfourtunately, our dogs are allowed to go in and out as they please all day long(doggy door), which in turn means.....mud in and out all day long! Yuck! My floors look like a sand box!!! Patches has mud caked on to her chest....how does this happen? Why do my dogs love to roll in the dirt?
So this morning at 4:15am I was sweeping my entire house, and furniture! I still need to wash down the couches and chair when I get home tonight then give them both baths, which by the way, they HATE! it shoud be an adventure to say the least.
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to post the pictures tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm writing this post from work so I don't have any of the pictures with me. Last night we went to
Xander's house to play so I have some pics from that to post too. I promise I will get it done this weekend! Promise!

I'm so excited that my SIL started her own blog!!! It's awesome! Ian and I have been bugging her to start one so I'm very happy that she finally did. I'm not sure yet if she wants her blog to be public yet so I'm not going to add the link yet. I'll find out from her and I'll let you all know it if she gives the ok. My brother is a little blog-o-phobic so I'm not sure that he would approve of a bunch of people reading it yet, since he's part of the reason it took her this long to start it. Even though he has his own little video game blog world that he participates in....correction....leads! I'm sure he will say that it's not a blog, but trust me, it's the same damn thing!
Anyway, back to work for me! Enjoy your Friday!

Bye Bye Blondie!

Thursday, September 15, 2005

So, I've done it...I got rid of all the blonde in my hair and am now officially a brunette. I've been wanting to dye it so that I could get back to my natural color. That way if I get pregnant again I don't have to worry about the two tone hair...I think my bigger fear was that I would just cut it short to cut all the blonde off instead of waiting the 9 months to re-dye it. So for now it's back to brown....looks a little redish to me though? Maybe not...I don't know. Now I'm worried that my natural color won't exactly match this color when it starts to grow out...What then? I'm bound to look like some sort of circus freak! Oh well, lets hope it will all blend well.
I'm going to try and get a picture up later. I haven't been able to get this thing to work though. I tryed to post my laundry center pic last night and I couldn't get my blogger/picasa thing to work...AHH! I hate when things don't work! I get so p'ed off! Oh well, I just walked away from it last night so I'll try again today when I get home from work.


Until then...

Lovin' my hubby

Monday, September 12, 2005

One of my favorite memories of Ian is when we first started seeing each other... We were hanging out at his appartment and he/we had to leave to go to work. As we're driving down the road, I'm following him in my car, he suddenly pulls over and jumps out of his truck. I thought that something was wrong and immediatly pulled over too, about 100-200 ft. ahead of where he had stopped. As I was getting out of my car he was running over to me and saying "it's ok don't get out of your car...you didn't have to get out, I just needed to SMOOOOCH!" He gave me the best kiss I've ever had! That was it! Love forever!

Well yesterday I had told Ian that I've been having really low self esteem lately and I hate it. I just don't feel pretty. Not to me.( you know when you're just sort of in a funk) He told me I was rediculous and to make myself stop thinking that way. I told him I couldn't and he said "You're just crazy!"
Well, later that night we both had to go into work for a couple of hours....so again he is driving, I am following him...He stops at the stop sign, gets out of his truck, and comes back to my car, leans in and gives me a huge kiss, then pulls out of the car, smiles and walks away! No words exchanged!

I love love love my man!! He always knows just what to do! I wish I was more like him. Koudos to Ian....Husband of the year!

What to blog...what to blog...

Have you ever had a moment where you're at work, or the store, or playing with the baby, or cleaning the house, or whatever it is that you do in your days, where you think of something to blog and you go throught the whole write up in your head? No? Well, I do this all day long. The problem is that when i finally get time to sit down and write it...it's all gone! I can't remember a damn thing!
Complete blank.....

Anyway nothing new here....work, work, and more work....Hungry....think I'll go eat

Oh I know what I didn't tell yall....a couple of weeks ago when I had to go to the Cape for work, Ian built me a kick ass laundry center down stairs. I love it! You'd never know that only 2 people live here by looking at it, but the sad part is that we have that much laundry! I'll have to take some pics and post them later....k, time to eat....

God I'm selfish!

Sunday, September 11, 2005

Here's a "conversation" that Ian and I just had....

Ian: Walks into the living room with the 1/2 gal. of Friendly's ice cream. Eating out of the box.
Me: "omhohmhomh" Moning and waving my hand at the ice cream box, with great concern.
Ian: "What? You want some?"
Me: "Yeah!"

Ian now goes back to the kitchen.
Ian returns to the living room with one bowl of ice cream...no box
Hands me the bowl.
Me:"How come you didn't split it?" "Where's yours?"
Ian: "Umm, I wasn't really even hungry."
Me:"Oh, me either. I just didn't want you to eat it all."
Ian: "Ha...G thanks."

2 minutes later...
Me: Handing the bowl to Ian. "I can't eat this, I'm full."


God am I selfish or what?!
Thanks Ian, for putting up with my rediculous ways!:)

A day to remember...

A moment of silence for all those lost this sad day 4 years ago...






I can remember being at work and hearing the news and not believing any of it. Even after seeing the towers on the scrambled tv that we had tryed to tune in at work. Listening to the radio when the flight went down in PA. All still so unreal in my mind.
I remember calling Ian at work to get his thoughts on the whole issue. Ironic now that one of my first thoughts was of ian's brother (knowing that he was a Marine). I asked Ian if he had talked to him, and asked him to call him to find out "WTF is going on!" Ironic, now because today Keith is in Iraq, fighting for that same freedom we all breifly lost that day. I'm greatful everyday for those who protect us here in our homeland and those who are sacrificing and protecting us from over seas.
No matter what your political views, know that those fighting in Iraq are indeed fighting for our safety and freedom. They are sacrificing all they have here at home, thier families, their homes, their comfort, their lives, all so that we may never have to feel that horrible feeling, that fear, that many of us felt that horrible morning.
