ummm where to begin? well its Wednesday, and its time for a new blog. As i sat at my office decorating the windows display with more paint on me then the actual window, i get a phone call from my sister. She asked "have you talked to mom today?". let me actually jump back for a moment here and give you some background without too much detail. July 4th-a massive fight/argument/confrontation/disagreement and hurt feelings happened at the parents house. leading to some communication but not much. My sister has been avoiding my phone calls and my text messages. my dad actually stopped in to my office on Monday of this week and wanted to say hi and that he loved me, and wondered why i don't stop by the house anymore. I changed the color of my hair also on Monday and sent my picture to my mom my sister and some friends. not much of a surprise when i didn't hear back from my sister or my mom. But i texted my mom later asking if she liked it. she replied with yes its beautiful as always and went on about some things that have happened and asked if i had heard about it. i replied with something along the line of, no i don't hear much from any of you guys anymore and it hurts my feel goods. she chit chatted with me for a bit longer but that was it. now back to today. when my sister called out of the blue, asking if i had heard from mom, thoughts went thru my head as "what now" but i just said nope, and she explained that there was a hostile shooting/bombing/hostage situation going on at my dads work.... my thoughts were, i just saw him. he is fine. but then she said the discovery building and then i realised which dad she was talking about. (I have two dads, its complicated to some, but unless i draw you a tree you just have to deal with a little confusion here). then thoughts went thru my head of 9/11 and what i was just thinking about just last night. I had this strange feeling to call him and tell him that i love him. it was of course 12 midnight my time which meant it was about 3 in the morning where he was and there was no way i was going to call so late just to say i loved him, i would worry him.
So I guess there was some animal rights activist guy who flipped his lid. Ha, here is where my ranting comes in. (digression is advised here). I love animals. I love my family. I stop every time i see a dog in the road or close to the road. I try to get them in my car and find out where they belong and try to get them out of danger. I feel saddened every time i see an animal on the side of the road killed. I am saddened when i see things on tv about animals being killed. I am not a vegetarian. I looked at the PETA website once and threw up 2 seconds into it. I'm am one to think that see no evil feel no evil. once that thought/image/sound is put into my head it is there for good. Those are things that I do not need to be replayed over and over and over again when i lay my head down to sleep. This also applies to things with children. My stand on it is, if you don't want i will take. at least they will feel loved. I would probably become a hoarder of animals and children if I could be healthy about it. But when it comes to my family, Don't mess with them. My dad was in the building doing what he does to provide for his family. Hundreds of miles away from his family and friends. A guy thinks he is god and must destroy human life to protect animal life and the world, putting my family in danger of possible death? really? geeze. ok i will stop here with the rant because i think my temperature just raised about a good 100 degrees just with anger.
anyways. everything turned out to be okay other than the police had to shoot they guy and people are extremely shook up. I feel blessed to have the ability to talk to my dad and know that he is okay after the whole ordeal. Thank you god for giving my family another day and my dad another day to spend with us all.
on to a lighter note:
Here are somethings that Paige and i brainstormed up to talk about.
Verizon and the IPHONE! i was told by a source that Verizon would be getting the Iphone in November of this year. I looked up on google for some more information regarding this. I found rumors that Verizon and Apple are in the process of making an Iphone that is compatible with the Verizon network. I also read that Verizon will not be getting an Iphone until 2012 due to an extended contract that Apple has with ATT.
Can anyone out there tell me what they know about the Iphone and verizon? I WANT ONE NOW!
I was also doing some research on caffeine and what are some easy was to intake it. (i need a drip). I stumbled upon a website that said, Stay Puft Caffeinated Gourmet Marshmallows. Do my eyes deceive me? Caffeinated

Well the girls have been home for a couple of days now. And before they came home, Aaron and i went shopping and i wanted to bake everything in the world. He asked why i was trying to ruin his diet plan. I'm not. I just want to bake. and now that the girls were going to be home i finally could without it having to go right into the garbage after i was done. They could enjoy the fruits of my happy labor. needless to say i have been cooking more and more everyday and have made a dessert for every night. our fridge is more full with leftovers than actual staples. Anyone need dinner? stop by my house.
Now that the girls are home, the first question was from Aspen. You said you would teach me how to shave, will you do it tonight (this being Sunday). So we spent most of the night shaving our legs and doing pedicures and manicures. I feel so much more better knowing that I can be girly again. its strange to say this. but its like they are my "girl-friends". we like to watch chick flicks together, do mani and pedis together. talk about boys, well at least how gross and stupid they are and how girls shouldn't get involved with boys until they have graduated college and have a stable Carrier. by then they will be at least 30 and should know better.
Aaron has stayed home with the girls this last week that they are off track. He is having a blast. Monday they went swimming for most of the day then went shopping and ran a bunch of errands. Tuesday they went to the copper mine and got informed. Today they went to cabellas to the "the shooting range" and then down to thanksgiving point. Aaron is starting to run out of ideas. I suggested paper mache crafts and he just looked at me like "are you kidding me" and the girls went nuts, wanting to start immediately.
Diet update.
Aaron is still doing really well. He is hovering at about 35 pounds less than when he started. I am however not doing great. My need for baking has been my weakness. CHOCOLATE! mmmmmmmmmmm ok. So I am still hovering at the 10 pound mark but hey at least i haven't really gained anything. but its time to get back into the swing of things.
well it looks like my battery life is getting tooo low for proper functioning, so i will stop here.
