I do like it and I have had multiple replies and comments that its a nice picture. lol I dont agree but whatever.. This Pic is me, and I hope you like it. I have changed my hair a little since I took this picture only a few weeks ago, but I got my hair done right after so I have dark brown hair now... Anyways I am just posting to post. I hope you all enjoy! I love pictures and love posting them, but have you ever Googled a mug shot of someone? Thankful enough, I do not have a mug shot picture anywhere and I dont plan on getting one anytime soon, however I have searched some mug shots of people in my past that had them and geez I surely hope my hair and makeup are both done if I ever do get one. I swear some people dont look at themselves before they leave the house. lololololol Enjoy!
Until Next time, Cheers!!!!

Mobile Blogging

Just testing this out.....I just saw this app for my phone and got excited, im hoping it works... Here is a picture of us out from Friday.

Holiday Weekends are the Best!!

Hello there, it has been a few days since my last post, but I have been so busy with the holiday and all the exciting things I did this past week. Wednesday I went to our friend Walt's house to bake, eat, and have cocktails. Thursday I finally saw my Twilight movies which I loved, then we went to Walts for Thanksgiving dinner, it was very good and I got another call from Chuck, we got to talk for a while which was nice. It was so hard to spend Thanksgiving without him, but he was on my mind for sure. Later that night Mom and I went through all the Black Friday ads to see what kind of goods would be on sale this year and I went home to bed, since I had to work on Friday. I worked all day on Friday and did a little shopping at lunch that day, then I raced home to change and get ready to go out. We all went to Osaka for dinner, then went to Counts Vamps Rock N Roll bar to watch our friends band play, then we headed down to Stoneys South, all these places were good times as usual and we ended the night around 3:30am and headed home. It was very cold outside but it was fun. Saturday I played tourist with Becky, Joe, and Brian from Boston. We had a great time and we laughed all day. I even got to see the Pawn Stars shop down on Las Vegas Blvd, what an dump but kind of cool place. All the history of things in there I think is what makes it interesting.

After we left there we headed home, I went home and stayed in for the night which was worth every wink of sleep that I got, I woke up on Sunday and felt liek I needed to go and shop over at Sams Club, when I was done there I went home and needed a nap, so I took one. Kind of had a quiet end of my weekend which was much needed. I decorated my house for Christmas and started my menu for our Christmas Eve dinner, we are very excited for that. I got to talk to Chuck and also received a few letters from him, which is always exciting and brings a smile to my face everytime. I miss him so much and when I told him about the Pawn Shop I went to he was very mad, because he loves that show and has been wanting to go there for months, well he will get to go when he comes home because I promised. lol Anyway all in all it was a great weekend, and now Chuck and I are on a countdown until the day he comes home for the holidays, only 23 more days! I cant wait and neither can he. :) Until next time, Cheers!!

Busy, Busy, Busy....

I have been so busy this week and this past weekend. I have been able to get a lotof things done. Friday I was feeling a bit under the weather, but I am starting to feel better. I have been having good days and bad days missing Chuck a lot. I have been receiving letters and I got another call from him this past Sunday... I never thought I would miss him this much, but I guess when you spend close to EVERYDAY with the same person for 5 years it comes with the package I guess. Anyway I did get to talk to him on Sunday again which was nice since I got to update him on what I have been doing and what everyone else is up to as well. Today is our niece Sabrina's birthday so we are going to dinner tonight to Dona Maria's, one of her favorite places to eat and it is definateely one of Chucks favorites too.... Then tomorrow I have to work and Thanksgiving is two days away. I am kind of excited about not having to cook dinner that day, Mom, Kris, and I are all going to the movies that morning and then to visti Becky and Joe and Walt for a drink or two and then maybe out to dinner or home since both Mom and I have to work on Friday. All the Black Friday madness is going to be crazy and I will be at work while all these people shop until they drop. :)

I am super tired lately and I think it is because I am not able to fall asleep very quickly now that I am sleeping alone every night and it has been warm then cold for the whole week.... lol But I also started my tattoo last Saturday and it has been bothering me the last few nights, going through all the healing processes and all. It has been itchy and starting to get more dry now. I will post ap icture below this so you can all see what it looks like so far. I have been wanting this tattoo for about 4 years now and finally decided to spend the time and money to go and start having it done. I will have about two more sessions with the artist and it will be all done, I just want to be sure it is done by the spring so I can show it off on our cruise next year..... I hope you all enjoy... Until next time, Cheers!!!!  

TGIF.....

OMG.. I am so happy that it is Friday. It has been a loong week and I am very ready for the weekend. I am missing Chuck so much that I at times feel a little lost without him. I have Jelwz who is always there when I need her and she calls to check on me everyday! I love her.... I spent some time last night with my Bg brother and Becky and it was nice to just hang out and drink some wine and chat.
This weekend is going to be very busy for me, well at least tomorrow is.... I am going to get my tattoo on my back that I have waited so long to get. It is very big and will take a few sittings to get it finished. I am very excited and a little nervous too, but the representation means everything to me. I cant wait to post some pictures for you all to see. I will do that as soon as I can.
I have to get to work now and maybe even try and do some homework today too. Until next time, Cheers!!

First Call..

Well I finally go my first call from Chuck since he has been gone for over a week now.. Wow that week was hard but it was soo good to hear from him. I think he really misses home and we only had about 10 minutes to talk but that is better than nothing. I miss him so much and I cannot just call him when I feel like it. But I have been able to cope and deal... he sounded good just missing home and me and Zackery. I booked his flight home for Christmas today as well, which was a pretty penny, and that will be his gift for Christmas that is for sure. lol I am very excited for him to come home for the holidays. Anywho I just figured I would write a little about what is going on in my world right now, but I need to get back to work. Until next time, Cheers!!

208 days!!!!!

Hi Again.... I was looking on my future bookings with the Cruise line that we use for our cruising, and its only 208 days away. I am so excited for this cruise, not only is it going to be Zack's 10th birthday present but it is also the celebration of my little brothers Garduation from High school. So far it is going to be Chuck and I, Zack, My Mom and Kris. I spoke with Chuck's dad last night and he is planning on coming too. We have extended the invite this time to everyone on both sides of the family, especially since it leavs from Los Angeles, so it is very close for us to travel too. We cannot wait for this cruise, it will be Chuck and I's third cruise and Zackery's first. I am currently working on getting Zackery his passport so we have no issue with him leaving or coming back into the USA..... Buuuuttt on another hand, oh wait nevermind.. haha just kidding. Anyway as I said we are all so very excited for this cruise, and we are hoping for more people to book and join us for that week... June 2012 please hurry up and come faster. Until Next time, Cheers!

The Nugent Wedding....

What a fun wedding this was. Jen and Jared got married on 11/11/11 in Lake Elsinore, CA. Their wedding was held at the Trevi Entertainment Bowling center, we had such a great time with the newlyweds, we danced all night and we bowled all night too. Such a great time spent with them and all of our family and friends.

Another Wedding..

So my cousing Jen is getting married this Friday which is 11-11-11. I am very excited for her, and she is the last one of us cousins in our age group that has not been married yet... then there is me who is on her second marriage.. lol but I only had one wedding and then a drive thru wedding. Anyway she is so happy and I am so happy for her, I cannot wait to see her tie the knot this weekend her wedding is in California so my mom, myself, and Kris will be all driving there on Friday. I am very excited, while we are in California we will be seeing my Grandpa Larry and Nana which is nice since I cannot remember the last time I saw him. I sure do wish Chuck was here to go to this wedding with me, but he isnt... bummer, this is the second wedding this year he missed and I am going alone, but the good thing is that I can dance my booty off all night at the wedding and have a glass of wine or two, cause my Mom is driving! :) Well that is all for now, until next time, Cheers!

Day 1....

Hey there everyone... well its official Chcuk left today, We took this picture on Friday Night when we went out with everyone for a going away party for Chuck. It was so great to go out with everyone. I am sure glad that I have the support system I have.:) Thank you all for that.

It is only the first day which of course is a little emotional, I have only cried twice and it was because Chcuk called or text something in between his flights and lay overs, we did get to talk for about a half an hour on the phone and he already misses home and me.. of course you do is what I say!!

I am hoping for nothing but the best and for this time to go by super fast and Chrsitmas to be here very fast.. I am not one to wish time to move by faster because I like to enjoy every day to its fullest but at the same time I like to enjoy those days with the people I love and like to be around.. :)

I had an entire day to myself since Zack had school and Chuck had to be to the airport around 9am, I took him to the airport, chatted on the phone with Jewlz and then watched daytime television, which is very boring might I add, and then I had to get Zack from school. He has been keeping me busy tonight and we had to do homework which is always fun. I am going back to work tomorrow and then heading to California on Friday for my cousins wedding, I am very excited to go and it will be fun I am sure. I do have plans on Saturday when I get home but we will see if those change.

Well that is all I have for now, until next time....Cheers!!

Harvest is here.....

My favorite season is here, I woke up this morning thinking OMG it is already harvest and November. I thought about this all day and all I kept thinking was how one day I will wake up and Fall will be over and Winter will be here... well when I left my office today it was a bit chilly outside and I got home to a warm cooked meal from my Hubby, then we ate and cleaned up the kitchen... about an hour later we went for a jog, Chuck, myself and Zack and sure enough it was cold and windy. I cannot believe the cold weather is already here and it will soon be time to kick on the heater and wear my warm pj's and slippers around the house. You know when you get cold enough that you cannot warm up, yes that is when you have to bust out the warm clothes and shoes. I hope you like the picture I am posting with this post, I took it this weekend while we were at the pumpkin patch, I could not believe the size of the stems on some of these pumpkins, I enjoyed taking lots of pictures at the patch this year.. More to come I hope. Until next time, Cheers!! 

November Begins.....

I cannot believe that it is already November. It seems like just last week was my birthday and it was Spring Time. I am ready for cooler weather that is for sure, but I was not thinking about Holidays and Cooler weather. Thanksgiving will be different this year since Chuck will not be home, but we will make the best of it even though he is gone. We have decided since we will not be cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for ourselves, we will still buy a Thanksgiving Dinner for a Family in need and give it to Charity. We are excited to help a cause. We will save our Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas Eve when Chuck is home for Holiday Vacation, The great thing is that I have been able to already have gotten half of my Christmas shopping done, which is always a plus. I am hoping to be done before December 1st we shall see if I can accomplish this. :) Well I have to go for now, I hope you all enjoy your First day of November.
