We have had soo much rain the last couple of days!  Probably for the last 3-4 nights it has started raining about 2 am and rained until approximately 10-11 am!!!  Pouring rain….not just light showers!  So today – they started declaring Tucson with the “Floods of 2006″!  How can a desert have floods?!  It is [...]


Quick morning update

It has been a busy couple days since my last post!  We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Monday!  We had went out to dinner on Saturday night since West has been on this odd schedule and we didn’t think we would see each other on Monday.  We went to this new Rockin Baja Lobster place [...]


First days at work…

So here it is…Friday night and I have a chance to write about my first couple days at work.  They were interesting days – typical first days.  I got to meet a whole bunch of people (whom I don’t remember ANY of their names, but they know mine!), read through all the “work and safety” [...]


Back in Tucson

Well, I had a successful and stimulating orientation in Phoenix for the last three days.  Actually, the classes were not all that stimulating – I struggled to stay awake.  It was your typical company orientation program.  The hotel was nice – I had a nice king size bed which was awesome!  I tried to go [...]


Off to Phoenix

Well, I’m off to Phoenix for the next 3+ days for orientation for my new job.  Not only is Phoenix about 10 degrees hotter, it is larger and more crowded than Tucson – thus making me really truly excited about this trip (*Please note the bit of sarcasm if it wasn’t completely obvious to you).  [...]


Productive Last Day Off

Well, my week of being off from work is now over – and I while I got side tracked with losing stuff, tearing the house apart, and overall just being lazy – I finished the week with a bang!  I reorganized my entire bills and document filing system in our filing cabinet!  I don’t know [...]


Rough Night…

So I had a rough night last night that included no sleeping and tearing apart our entire house trying to find one little sheet of paper.  Well, unfortunately, after all of my efforts, the document was never recovered and will have to be replaced.   I guess not that big of a deal, but I needed [...]

 They don’t cooperate very well, but here they are.  Zoey being all fat with her hitler-like mustache and Wrigley just being Wrigley! 


….different day

Since I have had some unexpected time off recently in between jobs, I decided to clean the house and go through our belongings and try to weed out what we don’t need or use.  It all ended 4 days later with six trash bags full of odd and ends, clothes, etc.  I was pretty proud of myself.  [...]


Same old stuff…..

I’m waiting to start this new job….I feel very frustrated at this point.  They have me doing little things that make me think that I will be starting soon, and then they tell me to be patient.  I feel like I’m not contributing to our situation right now.  But I have cleaned the house, cooked [...]
