Weekend Update!!!

Ok, I am officially here in Monterey, California!! and man WHAT A TRIP WE HAVE HAD SOOOO FAR!!! It took us 16 hours to get here!!! We got lost, and took some instructions from a stranger, and ended up adding 50miles in the wrong direction to our trip last night!!! Jason ended up grouchy and impatient, Fahlene ended up getting quiet, and I was a-freakin’ out because we were driving, in the dark, in sometimes wall-to-wall traffic, and with night-blindness was BRUTAL!!!! LOL!!! Oh, and where the HECK are all of the bathrooms in California????? When Fahlene and I FINALLY got to a Denny’s at about 10:30 last night, where we were SURE THEY HAD to have a bathroom (because no other gas station, or hotel that we stopped at previously did!!!), we almost LITERALLY RAN to get into a stall, and then I am sure the other patrons of the restaurant could hear our collective “AAAAAAH!” when we finally were able to go!!! Thank God for the little blessings!!

We all slept like a rock, which was AWESOME!!! We are staying at this resort called Asilomar Conference Grounds and it is just BEAUTIFUL!!!! We are sharing a small cottage, that has four bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, and two bathrooms – OURS HAS A LARGE CLAW FOOT TUB!!!! ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!!!! 😉

Actually the cottage that we are staying in one of the historic buildings and the website states that “Historic Rooms are located in buildings that were designed by architect Julia Morgan and built between 1913 and 1928. Each room features hardwood floors, rustic California furnishings and private baths – and their size and quantity of beds vary from one single bed to two double beds. All of the historic lodging buildings have a common living room, with a fireplace, for lounging and reading.”

I haven’t taken too many pictures yet, but I plan to rectify that today and for the rest of the weekend, so I will post some as soon as I have some available!!! 🙂

Anyway, we are off to go see the soon-to-be-married couple and then off to go have some fun!!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS day!! 😉

Just Checking In!!!

I know that I should be posting SOMETHING!!! I could always tell you about what a great time we had camping this last weekend; you know, all about our canoe outing where we literally dumped into the water in our street clothes within 30 seconds, or the dune buggy/bus tour that we took that was supposed to be nice and peaceful but ended up making me want to pee myself, while I was screaming like a little girl calling for her mommy because I was sure that we were all going to die! Or maybe you would like to hear about my escapade hiking up and down on this monster trail that I was sure was going to cause my death, and someone would have to send several big men to come pick my fat, dead, ass up, and drag my back to my campsite!!! LOL!!! 😉 But I am tired, and today is an anniversary of something sad that happened in my family’s life 11 years ago, so I am going to keep that short.

However, we really did have a lot of fun camping, and I can’t wait to do it again next year, but next time with 2 campsites – we all were a little too on top of each other all weekend!!!

Anyway, here is my thought for the day:

The kind of image that you have of yourself will limit what you are able to do. When you don’t glorify , or revel in who you are, you are denying a part of yourself. I have been denying my whole adventurous spirit because I don’t have the right weight, I don’t have the right look, I can’t do something because what will people think? You know what? SCREW THAT!!!! I can do ANYTHING I WANT!!!! I don’t want to wait for anybody anymore! I am not waiting to become what I want to be! I am not waiting do anything anymore! Hell, if I want to do something, it is time for me to step up and do it; nobody is going to do it for me and once I decide that something is right for me, that these are the things that I want to do then I will also enable the people around me to do the same thing, which is what I am here for after all!!!

I don’t want to be ordinary any more. I want to be extraordinary. I want to have a fabulous life where everything I believe I should have, I can have. I am fearless, you know absolutely fearless, what can stop that? (I am hoping that if I keep saying it then it will just HAVE to become the TRUTH!!!)

Well it is late, and my husband and I are heading out tomorrow on a road trip down to Monteray, California, which should be a lot of fun!! I am telling you right now, that this is 3 weeks in a row away from home!! Next weekend, I am turning off my phone and squirreling away all weekend!! Reading, walks in the park, swimming, dinners with my sweetie!! I am a homebody that seems to never be home!!! 😉

I will try and blog some times this weekend, and keep you posted of our adventure!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉

P.S. I will always love and miss you, Momma!!! 😉

Oopsie!!

HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!

Yes, I realize it is Labor Day and NOT Memorial day!!! I was having a momentary brain-fart (I hate that expression by the way), but I was heading out to the coast and just couldn’t wait to get out the door, so apparently I didn’t have my thinking cap on that afternoon!!

Anyway, I am going to write tomorrow and tell you all about our crazy, and sometimes TERRIFYING adventures this past week, but for tonight, I am going to get my things cleaned, put away, and then I am going to make sure to make it a priority to relax and get mentally prepared for another busy, busy, busy, week!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉

Getting Ready for the Weekend!!

YEAH!!! I am heading out for a four day weekend!!! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!!

This work week has been a short week, thank goodness!!!! and even though the past few weeks have been very stressful, I think that it might be getting a little easier! I feel like I am having to be brave and just stand up for what I believe in and that is that. I can’t make everyone happy, but that is not what they pay me for. They pay me to get my job done as quickly, efficiently, and correctly as humanly possible, and I am working my buns off to do just that!!

Talking about working my buns off, I am ready for a loooong weekend, which is a great segue to my next paragraph – and I know that my sweetie and I went camping next week, but we have been presented with the opportunity to do it again this weekend and honey, you have to know that we just JUMPED ON IT!!! We are going with my sis-in-law, and future brother-in-law, 3 nephews, my niece, and I can’t forget my two little puppies!!! 😉 I just know we are going to have so much fun, and I am very excited about all of the pics that I just know I will have when I get back!!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS Memorial Day weekend! and to all the GREAT men and women who have served this TERRIFIC country, and fought for all of our freedom, including my own. I solute you!

Have a FABULOUS weekend! 😉
