Updated Randomness ness ...

Here are some things that have been going on in my life the last few months.... (and then some)
Winter came not too bad of one if you ask me. Got to go snow boarding (not as much as I would of liked as usual) BUT not too bad. (And our pooch really loves the snow if you couldn't guess.)

Then I got to meet Train 
And for free! My (lucky-sister-in-law-concert-buddy) won tickets to their concert along with a couple passes to see them exclusively perform a small acoustic concert at an "Endzone" from 101.9 The End radio station. (RIP 101.9 a couple months after this concert my favorite morning show/ radio station was canceled.)
                       (Pat Monahan is a very small small man with skinny skinny legs, but nice hair...)


2010 International CES (consumer electronic show), Las Vegas
-Yes this is the only picture I took of the WHOLE trip weirdly. I'm known to be a picture nut but seeing as we've been to this convention quite a few times before I didn't care as much this time around. Explaining the picture: Awesome clouds in So Utah (or was it middle UT?...) on the way to Las Vegas. The only reason why we did this trip in early January was BC our good friends Liz & Adam wanted to go, and lets face it trips are a bit more exciting with friends. Trips you shouldn't and can't afford are awesome. (Sadly the day after we arrive home from this trip, Don gets a phone call saying not to come into work the next day. His whole company went under 1,000 ppl plus out of work... )
RIP Kiddie Kandids.

THEN 3 days later I do this to my head:
This picture is PG compared to the ones pre-staples.
Yes I received 7 staples in the back of my head. Some how I got really dehydrated (stressed, gee I wonder why?...) and passed out early in the morning in the bathroom my head broke the fall, but unfortunately the bathtub broke my heads fall. Or something like that. Don rushed in and with me lying on the floor and said "what happened??!!!" I then replied "I'm passing out, get me back to the bed..." (Bad idea.) Right when I get into the bedroom I pass out again and fall forward hitting the side of my face on the frame. The only thing I can remember was trying to say/ mumble "ow ow ow ow owwwwwww"when I came to, bc it really freaking hurt! So I stayed right there on the bedroom floor for a bit, seeing as I was having some bad vertigo. Don propped me up, while I keep complaining that my head really really really hurt, I put my hand on the back of it and looked there was blood on my head. Don looked at and said "yup we have to take you the hospital your going to need to have that taken care of" crap.
   They iv'd me up (I took 2 whole bags of saline I was so dehydrated) and got stapled right up and better .... in a WEEK or two it was a bit slow going recovery when you get a good head injury. Every time I put pressure on the injury it made me want to pass out, and my hair was nasty greasy for a week seeing as washing it became more complicated than ever before. 3 months later the scar is still sore when I put too much pressure on it. It has healed a lot though. What can I say I'm a fainter'.


Valentines Day came and went (this years will be memorable for me for years and years to come.)


The Annual Pony Xpress Trail Xcursion 2010 was another success 2 years in a row! Great turn out, good times. Here's ya an 'after' photo:


OH yeah something cool I forgot to add earlier, over Christmas break (2 weeks long) A bus caught fire in the yard and and damage two other buses that were parked next to it. Yup it was toast, the other two just had cosmetic damage. CRAZY!

                             and the other 2 buses with minor (not looking too minor) damages...

                                 And thought I'd add this one, early one snowy morning
                                                                 Another day at the job

Don's job search is mostly in vain, seeing as there are thousands and thousands of people in his same position right now with this economy. Utah was also slow going into the recession which means it'll take longer for us to pull out. It's scary but can't dwell on it or it'll drive ya crazy. We do what we have to.

I should mentioned that he was hired on at a new store very close to our house. The pay is pathetic but their benefits are why ppl should stick around I'm guessing (which we need badly now.) He is not too happy with it, but it gets him out of the house, while he IS still looking for better work of course.
And plus he looks really cute in his uniform (rawrr).

And how could I forget my children:   Koda and Kitty (Ella)

                                              Anxiously awaiting dinner to be put on the table
                                                            Wait I need a taller table!
Kitty on a chair, 
on a car, 
on a couch, 
on a Don, 
and... on a blanket.

The "Kitty on a ...." gallery is defiantly not closed I have lots more I need to add. 
Kitty to be continued...

What do you say about that Koda how about a high five?!

It was nice catching up some what. I have a scattered eggs brain I might add things that I've missed or post something about carnies' and clowns you never know about me...
