Dad and Robb have come and gone, we had a real good time while they were out. Mom, I got you some crazy post cards from that Body Worlds Exibit. How freaking insane was that? It was totally crazy, they were real dead bodies. You could look close at their toe nails and stuff and they looked like mummy toes (some were Daddy's too) , they had this full capilary thing of a human arm, and I went to point at it and almost knocked it over. lol, then I looked down and the glass thing was attached by tape... pretty crazy.. I wish you could have brought cameras in there, it was seriously the craziest shit I've ever seen. I'll explain more in detail on the phone, it would be too much to type on here.

Should'a, could'a, would'a....

I knew the date looked familiar with my last post. It would'a been our 33rd Anniversary tomorrow 10-26-08. life changes on a dime, huh? Have a great one! All my love, Mom (Aunt Donna)

Great Memory!

I cant believe I found this picture of Show Biz Pizza Place. I haven't thought of these guys for a long, long time. Hope everyone enjoys seeing this again. Dusty, remember me yelling at you when you were little for looking up Mindys skirt? You were laying on the floor trying to get Jeff to join you! Lol How funny. It was the happiest place on earth at that time in our lives. Well, Aunt Carol goes in for her first surgery on Tuesday. They are going to start with her neck. They will enter through the front of her neck to do the surgery. Ouch! I will keep everyone updated. Katie works at Walmart now, and Arlin is coming up to his first full year working at the News Tribune! My client is remaining somewhat healthy (knock on wood!) So I have job security for now. The weather is slowly getting colder with all the leaves changing colors and falling off. I really love the red trees out here. Something Colorado doesn't have alot of. Stay well, everyone. Talk to you soon! Donna

Must be the Full Moon for sho!!!!!

So, I'm having a rough morning, I woke up late, got into the shower too soon, so the water was freezing, and took my breath away, then on the way to work, I was rear-ended!! Again!!! I couldn't believe it. I was at a full stop, waiting to make a left hand turn, and then out of no where.....WHAM!!!! So, I make my turn, pull into a parking lot and start to call the police.....and the "person" who hit me, drove right past me!! I was in shock, but already on the phone with 911 and telling the dispatcher what happened! I am freaking out about this, cause my Jeep is damamged, and this person just left!!!! WTF!!! I mean W....T....Fing F!!!!! So, anyway, turns out that the person who hit me was a 17 year old kid, who just turned 17 on......you guessed it......9/9!!! The repsonding officer said in 34 years of traffic accidents, he had never had 2 people involved in an accident with the same birthday! Turns out the kid missed me turning to the lot, drove past me, panicked, and then pulled over, started crying and called 911, too, to report himself for "accidentally" leaving the scene of an accident. I actually felt bad for him, he was a nice kid, he acknowledged that he was at fault, and received a Careless Driving citation to boot. Then, later, his mom calls me, apologizes again, and tells me that she works at a Jeep dealership!! I couldn't believe the luck, so she is going to have the Jeep brought in to have the bumper replaced! I am very relieved, but still a little banged up from the whiplash....very minor, but still stiff and painful! I will be OK in a day or two, and from past experience, there is really nothing that they can do about it, unfortunately! So that was my CRAZY DAY!!!! Talk about a FULL MOON!!! WOOOOOOW!!!!

Baby Love

Well, sent baby home to his mama last night! he is just too much for Aunt Carol to handle. He just doesn't sleep! (No hes not a crack baby- just hungry like the wolf). I can't wait to be able to see you, Dusty, again. It's going on 3 years. Not a day goes by that I don't think of getting out of LaSalle. Wish I could take Carol with me. Her surgery starts the 28th if she is healthy enough. They said it could take a year til they are complete. I can't wait that long. I miss my kids and grandkids so much and your Dad. Miss his crazy ass! Well it feels so good to be off this weekend. I was so happy to sleep in. With the baby here, I was getting 4 hours of sleep a night. Not good for one's health, you know. Anyhoo, Will be more active here from now on. Love the look of your place. Cant wait to see it. All my love, Mom

Ghosts in the hizzy

Jo was upstairs just a second ago, and her daughters doorknob started turning and then the door opened by itself. Looks like we might have ghosts after all. I think they just wanted us to get settled in before they got active. Who knows! anywho, we slept over 13 hours and I'm slowly crawling out of my slumber. Its supposed to snow later tonight so we'll see what happens. I really need to get my paintings out of the shed thing today. Maybe thats what I'll do. Anywho hope all is good and I'll talk to you soon (Unless the ghosts get me first) muhahahahahahaaaa ack ack *cough*

Hello from your long lost Aunt Carol

Becky, Sorry I missed your call. I will give you a call this weekend. "Go Girl! Go!" Congatulations on getting straight A's. I love you. Aunt Carol. Dusty, It was great talking to you the other day on the phone. I think of you every day. I'm proud that you made something of your life. I love you. Aunt Carol. Happy Birthday to PJ. Can't forget him.

Success!

Well, here I am again, back to the postings! I feel great! I finished up my first term back to school with straight As!!! Woo Hoo!!! I am so excited, and I am really proud of myself....getting As after being out of school for 11 years was a HUGE accomplishment for me! So, there, I am done bragging. My next term starts next week and it is going to be harder for me than the first term! I am not too worried about passing, just finding the time to get everything done, adding another class to the mix! It will be OK, just crazy busy! I am also excited cause I have big plans coming up. I am planning a "Girls' Night Out" with a few of my friends for saturday, so we are gonna tear up the town!! Halloween will be lots of fun again, too, because not only is it on a Friday night AND our anniversary (6 years, can you believe it!), but the weekend before our friends John and Rovena will be hosting a big party!!! I am excited, it was lots of fun last year. Then having a jewelry party in December. December is going to be great this year, cause it is the first time that I get to spend Christmas with my mom in 10 years! She is coming out for 2 weeks, and only I know when!! Hahaha!!! Anyway, I am really excited because I only have to work the Monday and Tuesday after she gets here, and then I get to play the rest of her time here!!! No work, no school (Term will be finished before then), just me, Paul, mom and the cats!! So, off to make dinner for the hubby, but will be sure to keep everyone updated!

Dusty, I think about that night and hope for another soon, maybe this time at my house?? Hint, hint!!! I know there are no disruptions there!! Try to make it in before New Years if you can so you can see my mom, I know that she would love to see you and to meet Jo!! Think about it, k??

AWESOME pictures Becky!! That night was amazing, I think about it a lot :) I'll be back out after the new year, I want to get my tattoo touched up, and my other tattoo on my right arm. I've been aching to get another one, but with the whole move and stuff its been close to impossible. Great pictures though! hey, we're over 1,000 visitors! thats pretty amazing! :) I love you guys long time!
