Hello,
It has been almost a month since I blogged.....today was stake conference. Slept all day, so I didn't go.
I can never think about what to type when I'm actually typing. Does that happen to anyone else?
Thanksgiving came and now is gone, it was fun because we ate at a restaurant this  year! Nice, no cooking and no cleaning up!

Hmmmm, what else have I been up too. Oh yeah! I got a new nephew!  I helped babysit for a bit when my sister was in the hospital. It was fun! She had a healthy baby boy!
Posting this from my phone so don't know where the pictures will end up.
My younger sister voted for the first time! She was excited!

Do I ever learn my lesson?

I am supposed to be wearing my glasses when looking at a computer screen, or else i get a headache and sometimes that leads into a migraine if I don't take care of it soon enough. So I am sitting here typing on my blog without my glasses and I have a small headache.....bad Krista!

anyways, the other night my phone decided to control itself and I could really type much any more. It probably has something to do with the screen being dirt or something.

I am listening to the pianoguys right now, they are an awesome band....

Hello

I know it has been a little while since I posted. Just another night I can't seem to Fall asleep, just took a unisom, so we will see how long this post is gonna be.

Spent a lot of time at my father-in-laws house in September, he had surgery and  RB and I stayed there to help him out

Halloween was a couple nights ago. I have had a cold, so I only answered the door for trick or treaters until about seven, then turned off my porch light. I was pretty tired.

phone being weird, finish later...bye

back from yellowstone!

I am officially back from Yellowstone!!! It is sad, but I am glad to have a comfy bed! I did have a bed, but it just isn't the best. So the following is what I typed on my computer!
August 10, 2012 Well, I am here in the great wild old west!! More like north west! I am in Yellowstone and have been since Wednesday. This is to keep track of what I have done and seen this trip. Usually all my days seem to blur together, last year I had my mini lap top and it was fun to type most days what I did. So Wednesday was the drive up here. We ate at an Arctic Circle in Pocatello for lunch and arrived here at our cabins at about 3:30ish, got checked in and stuff. RB and I decided to go with one of the cheaper cabins this year, since we are short on money. I miss having the nicer cabin that was right next to RB's dads cabin, it had a bath tub and that is what I miss the most, seeing how I love taking baths, especially since it gets cold here at night. I didn't really sleep well the first night here, That is what usually happens because the beds here are just so much firmer then my bed at home. I slept a little better last night, hopefully I will sleep really good tonight. Yesterday, I took a couple of naps, since I didn't sleep well the night before, and we all packed up the car to headed over to Great Fountain. When we got there the overflow had already started so we knew we didn't have long to wait until it erupted. I love seeing geysers erupt. There is this certain spot that RB and his dad always check, and when the water starts to flow into it, they estimate that it will erupt in fourty minutes, plus or minus five minutes. It was really funny, because we were sitting by a bunch of people who hadn't ever seen this geyser erupt and were listening in on our prediction times, and they were amazed because RB predicted on the dot! But it was just luck that it went at that precise minute! I got a video of it. We then went over to another geyser called Fountain, it's like Great Fountains, younger brother or something, but I have never seen it erupt, so I can't tell ya what it is like. I think the geyser doesn't like me. I have waited on that geyser forever it seems like and it just doesn't erupt.. Last night was no different. We waited and waited, but no eruption. The sun went down and so that meant it was time to go, I wonder if I can go look and see what time it actually went off. Today, so far I slept in, ate breakfast. Dave, Wendy, Jacen, and Katie are driving up right now. I am excited for them to be here. It will be fun to have them join the rest of us. RB is off with Cindy on their hike they call "The hike to end all hikes", I will have to have RB explain exactly where they go, but I know they hit the observation point, then to biscuit basin up to mystic falls and back....I went to mystic falls last year it was actually very pretty and not to hard of a hike, maybe I will do it again this year. I loved the waterfall! Well, that is it so far. bye August 11, 2012 Today has been warmer then yesterday, it thundered and rained off and on all day. Yesterday I read outside on my hammock for a while, Dave and Wendy showed up about 6pm. It was really fun for me to see Jacen and katie. Jacen was super excited and was jumping all over the place and jibber jabbering, I am sure he was trying to tell everyone how excited he was and what he had been doing all day(he had been stuck in the car all day long). We all went and at ate the lower hamilton store, they have really really good hamburgers. We had a really funny waiter, his name is Joe and apparenlty he has been working there for the last ten seasons. He looked familiar and I think I have seen him a couple of times before, I will have to look for him next year. We talked in the cabin for a while, Jacen was very interested in my crank lantern, but soon it was time for Jacen and Katie to bed....Jacen had fallen off the bed and Katie was getting fussy. I went back to my cabin and RB worked on his computer, and I read a book. Today we all wore are matching shirts. The ones that are red and say "forget the beaches, give me geysers!" I had two people who wanted to buy them from us because they liked them so much! It was funny. This one guy stopped RB and I and told us to go show it to the this other lady :) So we did, she probably thought it was a little weird, but oh well. We were up on geyser hill and my ears kept getting to cold, it really wasn't that cold of a day, it just my ears are really sensitive.....good thing I had ear muffs in the car. I probably looked funny with ear muffs and a bandana on. We all loaded up the car and went over the Nez Perce picnic area. I had helped make the sandwiches. We ate a nice picnic lunch there. RB, Jeff, and I stuck our feet in the water. Jacen is in love with throwing objects into the water, he loved watching them make the big splashes. It was funny because the bigger the rock Jeff found, the bigger his eyes got, and the bigger his squeal got when the rock splashed into the water. I had my hammock there, and everyone enjoyed taking turns laying on it, it was fun to have there. We packed up, headed over to great fountain, but it was way to early to be there. We were to late for grand too, but oh well. I came back here to my cabin and took a nap while RB went exploring down to riverside and stuff. Now I am headed over to get me some yummy frozen yogart!! August 12, 2012 Woke up at about 10 am this morning, We headed over to fountain and the parking lot was really crowded and by the time we found a parking spot RB had spotted fountain start erupting. So I missed it again.....Oh well. We decided to go over to a picnic area called whisky flat and ate our picnic lunch. There is a burnt stump that everyone thinks looks like a baby bear playing with a butterfly. I still don't quite see that. The hammock was out and it was fun again. We took jumping pictures off of a log here. RB and I took off to go to the beach by fishing bridge. It is my favorite place to play in the sand here in Yellowstone. I built a castle while RB laid out on the hammock. We then drove back to our cabin and I took a nap because I was really worn out. We ate dinner at the cafeteria at the lodge August 14th 2012 I missed updating yesterday, so here is a recap of yesterday: I woke up later then I usually have been doing this trip to yellowstone, probably like eleven am. It was a really really tired day for me. I kept fighting my tiredness all day long. I got ready for the day and drove over to old faithful and watched an eruption while I was reading a book. I drove because I was trying to conserve my energy. RB and Jeff met up with me at old faithful. We at lunch (Jeff, RB and I) at geyser grill. I then took a nap. All of us headed over for an evening eruption of Great fountain. It was very pretty. We sat in RB's dads cabin at night and listened to him tell stories of when he was dating Judy. I came back to the cabin and finished what I had left of my book. I tried to fall asleep but couldn't seem to, but I kept telling RB stories about my childhood, even though he was dozing off and on. I finally took a sleeping pill and fell asleep. Today we all had breakfast over at the obsidian restaurant in Snow Lodge. We all ordered the breakfast buffet and it was really yummy. Eating the french toast theer was bringing back memories of the cruise we all took in Hawaii, and the banana Carmel syrup I would have every morning on my french toast, YUM! We were all stuffed and we came back to the cabins, I was exhausted, since I didn't get to sleep until about 2:40am and woke up at 8:40am to go get breakfast, I decided to go back to sleep. Everyone else packed up and headed up to geyser hill to see Grand geyser. RB and Jeff missed it though because they were waiting on another geyser, but soon after Grand geyser went off, Beehives indicator started and so they were all able to catch Beehive geyser. Jacen has now learned to say Beehive:) That all happened while I was attempting to take a nap. There were people working outside my cabin on the gravel roads that lead to the cabins. The machines they were using were making so much noise! It was also vibrating the cabin and it made for a really unrestfull nap. I decided to get up about 1pm and sent a text to see if anyone wanted to come with me to get frozen yogurt. Wendy and her little family came along with Cindy. It was fun, Cindy paid for mine for a birthday present. It was super nice of her. I had raspberry yogurt today. I drove over to the visitors center and looked at some of the stuff over there, I mostly read about yellowstone lake and the hot pockets that make it so certain parts of the lake doesn't freeze over in the winter. RB and Jeff met me there and convinced me to drive with them over to Great Fountain. We got there and it had definitely looked like it had already gone off. We drove back to the cabins, ate some dinner. By this point I was still exhausted....blah, so I decided to stay in the cabin while everyone went out to see one more grand eruption. We all head back home tomorrow.

I am currently watching the gymnastics! It is always been my favorite thing to watch in the summer Olympics! It is just the trials, apparently no metals are being competed for right now. So this weekend we were supposed to have a big birthday party for two of my nephews! But my dad, Deegan, me, and Ashley got sick.....So no partying for us! Ha, it is kind of funny that the gymnast get chalk all over them :) Well don't know why I started writing this... Don't know what to say... ok bye

Another post;)

Well, I felt like blogging again.

From my phone this time

So there were like five kids running around the neighborhood wishing everyone a happy twenty fourth of July! It was cute, Ashley and I were sitting on our porch throwing poppers at the ground. When they passed our house one of the kids, who was no older then twelve shouted " and I'm single!" Ha ha ha, what a flirt for such a young guy, I shouted back " sorry, I'm not"
Ha ha ha

Another story. This one is about my colonoscopy that I went through a couple of weeks ago.

So I had been sick for three days, and RB had to stay home and literally wait hand and foot on me because I couldn't do anything (such a great guy!), but the day of my colonoscopy my sisters Daline and Ashley came to take care of me that morning so RB could get some hours in. For those who have had a colonoscopy they make you drink tons of disgusting juice!!!! Blah, blah, blah, makes me icky thinking about it! It left a disgusting after taste, and my sisters took such good care of me! Ashley even tried some of the disgusting juice to see how it tasted! She, of course, hated it;) they would both encourage me to drink 8 sips every ten minutes ( there was a lot to get down), and Daline would hold my water bottle right close to me so as soon as I had gulped down 8 sips( with my nose plugged of course), I could quickly grab it and take sips of water to get the taste out of my mouth....I have wonderful sisters! I'm lucky!

I think the juice wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't just mix it with water (RB was the one who was actually mixing it) definitely mix it with a really strong tasting drink.....sprite might have been good with it. 

Colonoscopys's are a really interesting experience, this was the second one I had had, the first one was definitely not this dramatic.  I had just been having lots of upset tummy aches and just wanted to make sure nothing was seriously wrong.
Which it wasn't, just I have a sensitive stomach and I have to be careful with what I eat. This recent colonoscopy, was because I had horrific pain in my stomach and then I was super sick, nauseous and dizzy.....and I was bleeding out of places I wasn't supposed too!!!...........sorry, tmi?

So I ended up in the emergency room twice on the same day, it was an interesting fourth of July!  The second time was because my body had a bad reaction to the drugs they had given me earlier in he day. Blah......that was the worst I have ever felt in   my entire life.....I think;-).
So that was Wednesday and I got scheduled to get a colonoscopy on Friday, so I was pretty much sleeping and feeling really awful on Thursday and then Friday morning. Friday afternoon I had my colonoscopy.
I had such a wonderful wonderful nurse! She made me feel all better, well at least mostly emotional!  She was so sweet and helpful, it was nice to be covered in warm blankets and get some stuff for my nauseusness.  I was put in a bed, given an IV (for third time in two and a half days),I was wheeled into the surgery room, and met the doctor. He was nice too, he asked me a couple of questions and then the awesome nurse told me she was going to give me medicine to fall asleep. I tried REALLY hard to stay awake, just to see how long I could......that didn't last long, she just laughed at me. I think I got through saying, "stay awake" twice before I was out.....

Before I knew it, I was being woken up! It was all over and they had brought RB in, yay!! I always feel better to have RB around!
The doctor came in and explained what I had....which was ischemic colitis.....in short a colon stoke ! Wow, what a crazy thing to have happen to me, luckily it shouldn't happen again and I just need to change my diet a little;) so there is my awesome story....had

It is time for another update!

So I just got back from willow park, and I decided that I needed to blog about what happened there.

Today is the twenty fourth of July and I really wasn't planning on doing much, Ashley wanted to go over to willow park where they are having the celebration for the holiday. It was actually a lot of fun and I love looking at all the booths, I saw a person drawing character drawings and I thought it would be awesome for me and Ashley to get on. Kind of to prove that I had actually done something for the fourth of July!

So we got our cute picture and we were going to go home, when I got stopped and asked by a random guy what I thought of his art picture thingy ma-jig. I was thinking, wow It doesn't look to pretty. It really wasn't that great and I didn't know why he was asking me how it looked. I kindly replied that it looked very bright and colorful and Ashley said the same thing. He explained what it was supposed to be and we just nodded. During his explaining I was really confused at why he was just asking us anyway. So after he was done explaining we  told him good luck and started to kind of walk away, when he started asking us what we were doing the rest of the day.... I kind of stopped to think "Geez, what am I going to be doing the rest of today" . Ashley said something like going home and making dinner.  Then he proceeded to ask if I (or we, not sure)  wanted to go on a hike or something.........OK I have to stop the story for a second.....So when he asked me that, a  lot of things went through my mind. I hate having to exlpain to people that I have something called CFIDS and can't do that stuff to well.  I decided just to stick with, "I cant really go hiking" because I didn't feel the need to explain to him the reason why, so then he asked if I wanted to go for a long walk.......OH Geez, I though to myself...I think this guy is actually hitting on me......Me, no make up on and I am married........So I really don't remember what I said next, but finally I showed my ring finger and told him I was married, and I don't know why, but I added on that this (pointing to Ashley) is my little sister. Thinking that it was the end of our conversation, but nope it wasn't. He actually thought Ashley was like fifteen, but found out she was 20 and asked her to go do something. She said flat out no! Wow, brave girl, but she told me later that she didn't want to be second choice......I wasn't even seeing it like that at all........ SO we finally got away and I felt embarrassed and bad....don't know why, he seemed like a nice enough guy. I think when he found out my age, he was shocked because he thought I was like 20.....ha ha!  Why don't guys look for wedding rings before they start asking girls on dates. So another story, but his

Colonoscopy!!

WOW! This last week has been a difficult week for me.....For some reason right now I don't feel like going into all the details, but Tuesday I had the worst stomach ache in the world. I thought maybe kidney stones? but it wasn't in the right spot. So after going to the ER twice and having a colonoscopy on Friday. I have/had ischemic colitis! Crazy huh! My poor colon, and no wonder I was in so much pain!

It is kind of cool to see pictures of my colon and see a little cute scar on my colon....oh crazy colon!!

Summer happenings

Hello fellow loggers,
Today was a good day. I went swimming! I love going swimming! I got to go with some of my family.  I especially love swimming when the water isn't freezing cold. My favorite pool was closed today though, and that is usually the perfect temperature in the summer. Apparently it is closed every Thursday for cleaning. Next time I won't go on Thursday.

My poor RB is sick and I am not near him to take care of him! I know he will be ok, but i would rather be by him to make sure he is ok.... I'm glad that I left nyquil down there. I miss him so much! 

This summer has been different, I feel like I'm back in college. I have my sister and her best friend living here with me and my husband is usually here on the weekends. So during the weekdays, its  just like I have roommates again.

My brother and some of his roommates came over this evening. We played a couple of games while we waited for my brothers laundry to get done. It was pretty fun! They are fun to hang out with.
I can't believe it is already Thursday, basically Friday! Geez! This summer is flying by way to fast. It has been a hot summer so far too. I can't believe how many fires are raging across the state! I really hope all the fire fighters are getting enough sleep, if I had an rv, I would donate it to them, during this fire season,so they could have a nicer place to sleep and shower!  I saw this picture of a bunch of fire fighters just sleeping at the end of a cul de sac, near one of the fires.

Well it is time to go to sleep.
Bye

Love this

Beware of first picture on my link ( just shows a lot of skin and some(lots) cleavageish) ........sorry, but the other pictures were just so good not to share!

This is just so beautifully done! I just had to share! Beware, Of the first picture though, not for kids eyes.......

The last photo on the page is definately how I feel most the time!

Crazy adventure

So last Friday morning RB called me with a bizarre  request. He had decided that he wanted to go and drive up to Oregon for the weekend......He had basically already made up his mind, so I was to tag along or not. Me being a big worry wort decided to tag along.
On our way through Idaho, we saw a bunch of wild fires. We stayed in Boise ID for the first night of our trip

The light house at Astoria, OR
This town is the oldest town west of the Mississippi river

I wanted to take a picture of the blue bush :) This is also in Astoria.


In Astoria,  by a big anchor.

There is a light house buoy (spelling)

RB and I both standing by the big anchor, I had been in a car all day and no makeup, still in pj shorts......so I really think I look stupid in this pic.

This light house was really tall, pictures just don't do it justice.

you could take the stairs up to the top of this, I only made it 3/4th's of the way. I got tired and chickened out. I am pretty scared of heights

After Astoria we drove down the Oregon coast for a little bit and then headed inland into Salem, and we stayed the night in Eugene OR. This is the next day, we went to crater lake and finally got some use out of our annual national park pass.

Yes, I am still in my pj shorts...........I was really tired and just didn't care. Although I did change into jeans because it was super cold here.


as you can see, super cold and still tones of snow!

This is the actual crater lake. It is the deepest lake in the US and it wasn't formed by a crater. It was formed by a collapsed volcano

This is an awful pic, but yes, we went to San Fransisco also! We wanted to go a different way home, this has the lights of a bridge in it. One of the only ones we got in San Fransisco because it got so foggy and misty!

Another terrible picture, but this is of the bay bridge

Wendover NV

I decided to use a dollar and gamble.....ha ha ha ha.....I won two dollars, but didn't think it was worth cashing it out so, I just used it all up. I didn't ever expect to win anything :)

The Utah tree, it was on the other side of the interstate, so we weren't really able to stop


So that was our quick and also long trip (because it felt long with so many hours we spent in the car) to Oregon and then onto California

If we did a road trip like this again, I would definitely plan it out better and I would only like to drive up to maybe 8 hours a day!

My legs got so sore from attempting to go up that light house, that I wobbled the rest of the weekend. I should have stretched after I got to the bottom of it. I would have liked to see more light houses also, because I really only got to see one.


Whew, what a trip!

Howdy

So my blog titles seem to always seem to be hi or howdy;-) lets see what has been going on lately. I ate terrible yesterday and probably did to much, so I have been pretty tired today.  I went  to the library yesterday, and the post office....i  also had to go to a store and buy a new sheet..... My favorite got a hole in it...... It is a bit weird that it got a hole in it, too much time sleeping, or maybe I roll around too much? 

It is late, but I haven't really tried to go to bed, I probably should now......

I should write more so I can remember what I do..... Because I can't think of what has been going on for the past couple of weeks..

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

Hope you are all ready for a long post!



SO, I have been thinking a lot lately about a lot of things and I wanted to write them all down. I love the spring time and summer time. I just enjoy being outside in the sun so so so much!!  I bought the coolest hammock thing  (no, I didn't pay that much for it). Anyways, it is so portable and wonderful.

The past couple weeks have been interesting and busy, which is kind of weird for my life....

I went to the dentist about two weeks ago for the first time in like three years, because we finally have dental insurance. The last time I went  we just paid out of pocket. When you have a lot of cavities, it can cost a lot! Anyways, this time I only had three small cavities and one of them was a cavity that was in between to teeth, but was effecting both. So that is the good news!  I had an appointment to go back in a week to get them filled, but had to reschedule because of getting sick (who gets a cold in the spring? I still have no clue where I got it from). I went yesterday and got them filled. For some reason I was really really anxious and nervous, and they asked if I would like the gas stuff. I decided to try it, and boy did it help! The miracle of modern medicine!! I was relaxed and wasn't uncomfortable at all, I have decided that every time I am going to get cavities filled I am going to ask for that, because it makes it so so so so so much more comfortable. Without it, I'm constantly worried about swallowing, my tongue gets so dry and uncomfortable, I'm afraid that I might touch the drill and rip my tongue to shreds (don't know if that can actually happen, but I still worry about it), and the major thing is I have to breath deep and keep telling myself it will be over soon and not to get so worried that I feel like puking. With the gas, it all seemed like all those worries were nothing! I can so do the dentists now, and I really like this new dentist I picked!

Did you all know about the solar eclipse that happened on Sunday night? I did, only because of my husband telling me about it three months ago. He was telling me that he wanted to drive down to southern Utah to get a better glimpse of it with his dad, and that is exactly what they did on Sunday along with his brother.  I did not go, because I was feeling under the weather  still from that cold. My father-in-law bought all of his kids these awesome glasses from Clark Planetarium, just so we could all witness the solar eclipse. At the time, I didn't realize that the one pair of glasses that I had at my house would be used for my entire neighborhood! It was AWESOME!  I already had lots of people at my house (two of my sisters, three nieces, one nephew, brother-in-law, my brother, and one of my sister's friend), so we were all sitting outside and it was a beautiful evening and lots of people were on walks. Once I looked through the glass and saw how awesome it was, I just felt like I couldn't let people walk by (all who seemed to be oblivious to the solar eclipse going on) and not have them take a look.  I would say " HEY, you need to come look at this, it amazing!" So they would give a slightly odd look, but they would walk over and I would explain to them about the glasses and the solar eclipse. They would put them and look at the sun. I knew it was worth calling all of them over, because they would get huge smiles on their faces and would want their kids or whoever they were walking with to look into the glasses! Before I knew it, I had people coming to my front yard because they heard through the grape vine that there was a girl down the street who had some awesome glasses to look at the eclipse and yhat they should go look at them! It was so much fun, I had like 20 people in my yard at one time!  I met a lot of nice people! So that was my big adventure for this week, besides the dentist.

Wow, this is turning into a long blog, but I still feel like I have tons to write about.  As mentioned earlier my sister was visiting me on Sunday. They had been camping at bear lake on Saturday night and didn't get much sleep at all! They came for a visit and ended up staying the night on Sunday night just so they weren't so tired driving home. It was a lot of fun, I was still recovering so I wouldn't let the kids touch me and made them use tons of hand sanitizer. They probably were annoyed of me, but I don't want them sick. Crazy story, Dayana somehow managed to get a BB in her eye! It wasn't shot into her eye, she was playing with one apparently she had found the day before and managed to get it in her eye. It was in the front and below, so when  Daline (her mom) discovered it was there, she was rushed to the instacare to get it taken out! What a crazy girl, she was the show of the instacare, all the doctors wanted to see how this little girl had gotten a BB stuck in her eye! Thankfully, they removed it easily and then checked to make sure it hadn't scratch her eyeball. All is well with her and now little BB's are permanently banned from ever being touched, or even near the house (not that she had them there anyway, she found it at a park).

Last thing I want to write about is my Grandma. I was thinking about her when I was folding a towel that used to be hers. When I stayed with her (which was a lot), she would always find me a matching towel and wash clothes for when I took a bath. They always had an intricate design on them, and it always made me feel special that she would find macthing things just for me..I just wanted to write that down so I would never forget.

WOW! So congratulations to you if  you made it to the very end of this.

another day

Well, turns I am not allergic to the cotton trees, I am just plain sick.......it is kind of confusing because I haven't been around anyone who has been sick recenlty and I have been using hand santizer every where I go.....literally! So in my post I was just hoping I would be up and doing stuff the next day, welll three days later and I am still in bed. How Wonderful is that! I guess I should be grateful that I don't have allergies to the trees in my backyard, but when I get sick it seems to take me a very long time to get back to where I was at! Sorry if this blog is random, I am on some anithistamins that make me drowsy. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sersiously haven't done much since my last post.

have a great day

ps my sister Ashley is a super hero, she raced outside just in the nick of time yesterday with the trash can to have the garbage pick it up.....YAY!!

Hi

So, yes I know it is 2:34 am in the morning, but I seriously have been in bed all day long! I spent too much time out in all the cotton floating around on Monday, and ended up waking up Tuesday morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck! My head killed! I took ibprofen and then tylenol, neither of them worked. I finally called the pharmacist and talked to him about what to take. I needed a better nasal decongestant!  I finally do not have a headache and am feeling a lot better! Hopefully this doesn't effect my chronic fatigue and I feel better in the morning. I don't want to sleep for another day!

Ha ha, so my sister is silly. She was writing on my blog as I was looking at an ad for a hardware store.  She is fun! Her friend and her are staying with me for the summer. It has been really fun and really helpful for me. I feel like I have two maids;) I woke up Friday morning last week to my lawn being mowed and my kitchen cleaned up!  It made me feel so much better about my house. I get stressed when I can't clean my house. Thank you!!!!!

Also I went shopping at the DI the other day and found an awesome filing cabinet! It was in great condition. Now I need to find another one for my husbands office.

This isn't Krista

HI Krista's blog readers! I have hacked Krista's blog well not really I am just on her computer. Anyways Krista wants a drill and a green house but she doesn't want to spend any money. So she has decided that she wouldn't have energy for it anyways. Who thinks Krista should get a green house?

Another day

Sitting here on the ground in my apartment, wishing I could get up and dance around. I found some pretty awesome music, and when that happens I usually want to get up and dance! Then I get depressed thinking about how I can't really get up and dance. Well, at least I still have my hearing to hear the beautiful music! I will post the song that I found here....in fact right now!
Awesome music!

So there you go, go listen to that and everything will seem just a little bit better (until you realized you can't dance around like a crazy girl:)

So today, is just another average Krista day. I did some wash, but didn't wake up until noon. Seems like that has been happening a lot lately. I have checked facebook like a bazillion times today.  I have contemplated a couple of times about turning onn my xbox and playing a game, but what game? I was so disapointed in the ending of mass effect 3 that I don't even want to try to play through it again with my second character like I did with one and two. It just seems pointless, seeing how it doesn't matter what I do, everything will basically turn out the same. I do have Fable 3, but I feel like I have played it through and done all I could.  Maybe I need a new game. Oh wait, maybe I should go write on my book, seeing how I am in a tryping/writing mood. Today is one of those days I really wish I had the energy I used to have. *thinking to self-"it could be worse", over and over in my head*

Well, if you have any recommendations for me on what I could be doing, or even a great book that you have read recently! It would be muchly appreciated!

Oh and BTW go check out this contest! It links you to the facebook page and there is a contest going on there for a free signed book from the author!

Have a great day!!

Hello, It is me again

So, I found a website that is for chronic fatigue! I am kind of excited about it, but not at the same time. I guess my moods change a lot and right now I am in the "no clue what to do, and nothing seems to be helping". So maybe I can see what others do for their own chronic fatigue. I have posted on their forum and thought I would post here what I posted there. 

"Hello,
I am sitting up at 3 am unable to sleep. My sleeping pattern seems to be all over the place, and it is not fun. I just came across this website, and maybe I  can relate with some of the other people on here, because I haven't really come across anyone else with chronic fatigue. I have had it for three years. I was really active before I came down with the mono virrus. It has been a rough ride. The mono virrus has been tested negative now, but I am not any where near where I used to be. I have my up days and my down days. I started a blog and I like to rant and rave on there :)   I am in my twentys and was one semester away from graduating when I got mono, it then took another year and a half to get my degree. I was only able to take one or two classes a semester, after the worst part of mono was over. Most days I just don't know what to do, and I feel helpless. I am lucky to have a very supportive husband and that he is able to make enough that I don't have to work. Although I would really like to have  a job, I just don't know how I would be able to handle one because everyday is different. I feel really bad! I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but I do! I feel like others judge me and don't believe me. I was always the one who wanted to go to school, learns lots, get a job, and have a family.  About in that order too, at least I got the degree:)  I really wouldn't wish CFS on anyone,  ever!! I am always worried about what other people think of me, It is hard to make other people understand and I feel alone a lot of the time. I have been to several doctors and nothing seems to ever come of it. I have even tried the wholistic doctors, but they don't seem to help either."

I also found this top ten list to be EXACTLY how I feel! IT IS JUST SO TRUE!!!
"1. CFS is real.
“I’m not making this up.”
“My symptoms are very real even though you can’t see them.”
“I am sick with a real disease and I’m doing the best I can.”

2. It is very debilitating and disabling.
“CFS is as disabling as HIV, cancer and MS.”
“Staying at home is not a ‘fun vacation from reality.’”
“CFS is absolutely life-altering.”

3. The fatigue is very intense.
“It’s more than being tired.”
“My energy is very limited.”
“I understand you’re tired, but it’s not the same as CFS.”

4. Looks can be deceiving.
“I don’t look as bad as I feel inside.”
“Even when I look good, I feel awful.”
“Just because I look okay now, know that I’ll pay for it later.”

5. CFS is unpredictable.
“I don’t know from one day to the next how I’ll feel.”
“I have no control over how I feel.”
“I need to be flexible in planning things.”

6. It has nothing to do with being lazy.
“I wish I could accomplish more each day than I can.”
“Even simple things are often beyond my ability.”
“I’m not trying to get out of doing something when I say I can’t.”

7. Words don’t do CFS justice.
“There’s no way to accurately describe how bad I feel.”
“I still hurt as badly 20 years later as I did the first day I got sick.”
“Even when I don’t talk about it, I still feel sick.”

8. CFS is very isolating.
“I am often lonely and alone.”
“Life moves on without me.”
“Nobody understands what I’m going through.”

9. Your understanding is important.
“I am so grateful for my family’s support.”
“I am very lucky to have their understanding. It makes life bearable.”
“I still need quality life experiences and to be involved.”

10. CFS is not a choice.
“I don’t want to be this sick.”
“I miss the person I used to be.”
“It’s so sad to miss out on so many things in life.”

Hello

Hi Everyone (at least the people who read this)

Today is sunday!!


Couple of things I have done recently. I went and saw two movies (not one right after another). I went and saw "Hunger Games" and "Mirror Mirror". I liked both a lot!  I think Mirror Mirror is more my type of movie. I read the Hunger Games book and the ending freaked me out. Blah!! I just don't like violence and can't stand people going into depth about violent scenes.

What else have I done?

hmm, this last week Daline and her family came and visited and stayed over night. It was fun to have them all here. I should have taken some pictures to show you. Daline did, maybe she can post some on her blog (hint hint:). We had a had a fire and roasted hot dogs and marsh mellows! It was fun!

I finished reading the second book in the beyonders series. IT was great! I cant wait to see how the third one plays out! So let me explain this book a bit. It is  by Brandon Mull, he wrote the Fablehaven Series (which I love).   Two kids get mixed up in another worlds problem, but the cool thing is all the different species they run into. Okay, so imagine your a person, but you are also a plant.....They have seeds in the back of their necks and when they die, the seed pops out and gets replanted. You grow into a person again and are harvested! Weird, but COOL!! He has really made up some awesome species.

I also finished reading the book "crossed", It is a trilogy and is the second one in the series. I didn't it as good as the first book in the series. I just felt like not much happened...I mean things did happen, but just it seemed slow. It was still good though and hopefully the third one will be better! This book is about a dystopian society and is also a love story.

Well, My plants in my sisters green house and doing great!! I will post pics soon!

Hi

I really hate sleeping so late. Half the day is gone! And I haven't eaten anything. eat

Monday, March 26, 2012

Hello

Howdy everyone
This has been an interesting month of March....... I have been sleeping a lot, getting a cold takes a lot out of me apparently, and it takes forever to get any energy back. That is at least what I think has taken all of my energy away.

so my plants have safely moved into a greenhouse at my sisters house :) My sister has a greenhouse in her backyard.  Someday I hope I will have a greenhouse in my backyard, or own a greenhouse somewhere.

Today was really windy and stormy.

Wow, I don't have much to say. It seems like I have tons to say when I thought about writing my blog.

I am watching "Good Luck Charlie, Its Christmas" It is actually really funny

Memories

So, I didn' really fall asleep at all last night. I got up at four am and played around on my computer for an hour. Then I tried to fall asleep, but probably didnt fall asleep until about 6 am....crazy

Anyway, I was thinking of a time when I was little and my parents were still together, They went on some vacation and my grandma Hansen came and stayed with us for a while to take care of us all:) I remember it being fun, but I also remember I got grounded because I was grumpy. How silly huh? My grandma put me on a chair and said that I could not leave that chair until I smiled. I was stubborn and was determined not to smile at all!!! I really don't know how long I sat there in the kitchen while my grandma was doing the dishes. Before long I was trying really hard not to smile and laugh at something my siblings were doing outside...My grandma noticed and dismissed me from my time out. I was so stubborn all I had to do was smile :)

SAD......petunias

So, I have been watching my moonflowers, watermelon, and cucumbers grow, but the sad part is my petunias have not germinated. I had like one or two, but nothing else out of the 60 or so I planted. I am very sad about this.... So I have contacted the seller and maybe she can send me replacements. I had bought them on ebay and she had very good feedback. I hope she will work with me!

Friday I went to a mystery dinner theater thing with my husband, my sister and her husband, my sister-in-law and her sister-in-law. It was rather fun! Our table won the suicide gone south award! We guess that the guy poisoned himself to get out of the sticky situation that he was in :) Ha ha ha ha.

I made scones today, but they didn't turn out the best. The oven in this apartment is a bit different then the other one I am used to, so I never know what heat setting I should put the oil on. I know it is supposed to be somewhere between low and medium.

My husband and I bought Mass Effect 3 this week!! He decided to get it for his birthday, even though his birthday is still more than a month away. I was definately okay with it.  I am really trying to limit myself on how much I play the game, although we tend to fight over who gets to play it when:) We both have been waiting for this game for a while to come out.  I used to be excited about the new Old Republic game coming out, but then they turned it into an mmo. I like mmo's, but I don't want to pay the extra fees every month that come along with them. So I have purchased that game.

I am getting a little annoyed at my phone, I wish that I had a phone with actually buttons for typing and not just having a touch screen, I like being able to feel the buttons as I text. I always am mispelling words. Next phone I get hopefully it will be a phone that has a slide out keyboard.

Howdy

I'm have been  playing mass effect three and I have been  saving the galaxy again!

Anyways, spring is coming yay!

Bonjour

Hello, another night I can't seem to fall asleep!

So I just downloaded the Blogger app for my phone finally. It seems to be working great so far, much easier then using the website through my phone.

I hope Android comes out with something similar to siri thats on the iPhone. Because that would be nice to have on my phone. I've always liked my Android operating system and don't feel the need to change. Although would be nice to have a longer battery life.

Well some how I can upload photos from this app......we will see if that works out.

I ate at bluebird today with some friends of RB's and mine. It was fun.
The pictures below are if me transplanting some of my plants.



Thursday, March 8, 2012

Hi

Today has not been a great day. I have been so so exhausted!  It has been so frustrating! I haven't done anything today! I read some from a book today.  I really have been so so so tired! I get up and can't go to far before having to sit down and taking a breather. It has been really bad today.

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

And so it....slowly slowly starts again!

Hello
I believe I am on the mend! Yay! I did really great on Sunday and Monday, but today my sore throat is back! Well, it is probably because I talked way to much the last two days.

So, I seriously almost killed all my plants! I forgot to put on the humidity cover, and I woke up this morning to very sorry looking plants! Yikes, I am pretty sure that some of my watermelons went beyond the PWP (Permanent wilting point), and unfortunately are dead.............poor watermelon. Hopefully the other plants will perk up soon. I am kind of disappointed in my petunias, maybe the person I ordered them from gave me duds! The other seeds I ordered from her are turning out great though! I am still holding out a little hope, but it has been quite a long time.

I do have pictures, but they are currently on my phone. So I will put them on here when I upload them from my phone to my computer.


Thanks for reading!
Have an awesome day!

My goal for today, is to transplant some of my cucumbers to bigger pots and to put a board under my mini greenhouse. I will take pictures of this adventure!



Here is my one petunia! if you can see it. It isn't that great of a picture
I'm back, Picture of plants above,

another day......sick

Well, today was another day being sick. I coughed a lot today, because I had to actually call and talk to people

Monday, February 27, 2012

Still stopping

Hello,
So I have been sick for about a week now. I was researching online and it seems like the general consensus is it last about 2 weeks.  I have been in bed a lot!! It is crazy!! But it has been ok...I have had a great visiting teacher come give me home made soup and some essential oils. So has anyone tried essential oils? It seems to be soothing my throat a lot, but it has not shortened my cold. I think it is nice that it is natural and it helps my throat a lot! Because seriously my throat has been killing me! I have been to the doctors twice. The second time they gave me some nice pain meds!! This sickness is not fun (not that any sicknesses are), but this one I get headaches really easy. Does that happen to any of you when you have been sick?

I really hope my plants are going to be ok, all the vegetable and the moon flower looks great. The flowers that are petunias are having troubles, there is only one sprout. I think it is because I have been sick and I haven't been able to tend them as much as I want to:(

La la la la la, well I just don't know what to write.........

I love my husband and he is great!!

Picture update

My Moon Flower plant germinated
This is of the Cucumber and Watermelons that are germinated

I was finally able to get some pictures of some of my plants that have germinated! Enjoy the two pictures.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

and so it stops.....for a bit

My sister and her cute little family came over on Friday and Saturday. This is me curling my neices hair! We were gonna take family pictures outside!

This is her with curly hair, and yes that is still my Christmas tree in the back ground!

I had some fun on monday with my sillouhette! I got a new blade for it! I am still probably going to add more stuff to this. It is my laptop if you were wondering.

This lovely picture descibes my life for the past couple of days. I will explain more below!

Not the best picture, but you can see a plant sprouting. There are a ton more now, it just I haven't taken a picture for a few days.
OK, So now that I am done explaining the pictures I have uploaded here how the last few days have panned out for me.   On Friday my sister and her family came, I had a great coupon to stay at a Local hotel. They got a room, dinner, and breakfast for all just 59 dollars! Awesome huh? Before they left to the hotel we took some pictures in my backyard, My three  year old niece was not being cooperative at all, and so we didn't get to many good pictures of her. I am still editing them. I went swimming with them at the hotel, it was a blast. On Saturday we had a cousin of mine getting married and we went to the luncheon and then the reception. It was really fun to see a lot of family and friends.

Sunday, I went to church ( all of it)! I am impressed that I was able to sit through all of it with  out getting super sleepy! YAY! Anyway, on Monday I started feeling a slight sore throat. I was thinking, well if it just stays like this and I get sick I will be just fine. It didn't........by Monday evening my throat was hurting really bad, and Tuesday morning was even worse. So I decided to go on over to the instacare. It was jam packed! I waited for like 45 minutes in the lobby and was finally seen by a doctor (and by this time, I had a fever and the aches)! They gave me a strep test and it came back negative, and that is about all the did. The doctor came in and checked my vitals and stuff, but I was soon sent home. At least it wasn't strep throat, I thought to myself. I went home and laid in bed all day. Taking lots of ibuprofen (which didn't really help). I didn't sleep the best, but I did sleep pretty good considering the fact every time I swallowed I wanted to cry. I woke up this morning and the pain seemed to be worse! Ouch!  I looked into my mouth with a flashlight and lo and behold I had huge white sores all over the back of my throat! OUCHIE OUCHIE OUCHIE!! I called the instacare and asked to see if they could see if the strep test was still negative from yesterday (they keep the test for a couple of days, to let it grow out and make sure it is not strep), it was still negative. I told the nurse what I had and we came to the conclusion I should come back in. So again I went back into the instacare. This time it was not full of people, which I am so grateful for, and was seen almost immediately! They did some blood work and another strep test, did I mention I HATED GETTING TESTED FOR STREP! I always gag, and half the time I almost puke on the poor nurse. I always worn them of this before they do the test so they are prepared. Oh, and I also worn them to use the popsicle stick thingy, because my tongue will always block the Q-tip thing. I really try to keep my tongue out of the way, but it never happens.  Anyways, this test also came back negative. The blood test was for mono, which I told them I had been dealing with chronic mono since 2009.  The doctor came in and looked into my mouth, and had the expressions like "man, your throat has got to hurt". I actually really liked this doctor, compared to the many other doctors I have talked too. He sat in there with me and discussed the whole chronic mono/fatigue thing and how most doctors will just tag you with that, when there is no other explanation.  So, the blood work for mono came back and it was negative.  He told me that there has been a lot of studies about how chronic fatigue is caused by mono, and that when tested for mono it also comes back negative like me. So all in all, know one really knows what chronic fatigue is caused by. He said the best things that I can do are the basics. You know, eat right, good sleep, exercise, drink plenty of fluids and then hopefully things should work out in the end. Well, I thought I had been doing all that, except for the exercise. I have been scared too, but I'm thinking I am going to start. Very slowly, but at least something. Since the mono is negative, my spleen shouldn't be enlarged and I should be ok to do physical things now right?? I should have asked him that. I really liked him, because he told me straight that doctors don't know why chronic fatigue happens. That makes me feel a bit better, because I keep trying lots of different things.  I am going to start a daily journal of what I eat, how I sleep, how much water I drink, and if I exercised or not. This should help me see if there is any progress in my energy levels.  I am not going to do a daily blog, although, maybe I should except make it private, because who really wants to know daily what I eat :) To finish the whole being sick thing, he says it is another virus affecting my body and gave me some really nice pain pills for the throat. He told me that I don't look drained( don't know exactly what he meant), and that this too shall pass :)

Yes, I know, this is an extremely long blog post.   I just wanted to write this all down, and I still have things I want to say. Since I am stuck in bed right now, this is one thing I feel like I can do.

So my greenhouse is going well. I have been slacking off with the pictures because of being sick....I have a moon flower popping up and a lot of cucumbers and watermelons. I also see very tiny little sproutlings of the Nicotinia flower and some of the petunias. No Peppers yet, I wonder if they were bad seeds....

Last story (I think), is of my three year old niece . This weekend she noticed I still had my Christmas tree up. She looked at it for a while and then came up to her mommy and me and said, " I know why Santa clause didn't come this year". We asked why and she continued to explain  to us that it was because there was no star on top of the Christmas tree. We laughed. There are no presents under the tree and since the tree was still up she decided Santa clause had never visited me. What a silly little girl.

I just at some of the best chicken noodle soup ever!!
Thanks
bye

And So it continues...

Hello
Today was "The planting of the seeds" Day! So Here are pictures of the progress I made today.
I cut open a garbage bag, so i wouldn't get dirt all over my floor. I next put the Potting soil in,most of it isn't soil, just contains stuff like vermiculite and coconut husks. Stuff that is really light and porous.

One usually doesn't plant this early indoors, but these are not going to be indoors! I have a small heater that will be outside with these little plants (inside the greenhouse)! As of right now I am going to keep them inside until they start to germinate.

These seeds were so so small! I used tweezers to plant them because I couldn't really just pick up one with my fingers. This type of seed comes from the Nicotiana family of seeds. It is supposed to have a really fragrant smell.

I also planted wave petunias and moon flowers! We will see how this all works out!

This is the finished product for the day! The heating mat is on and warming up those cute little petunia seeds :) along with the others seeds I planted. Now time to keep it evenly moist and watch them grow. I also counted how many seeds I planted in each row, so I can see how many actually germinate. I bought my seeds online and if they have a good germination rate, I will continue to buy them from the same place. They have good prices on wave petunias!

This is just the container they stay in until they become little plants, then they will be transferred into bigger pots.

OH HOW FUN!



Monday, February 13, 2012

And so it begins.......

Hello!
Today I received my mini greenhouse!! Yippee!! Except for one sad part..... The corner on the top was broken up! I hopefully fixed it with super glue though. I let the people I bought it from know, just incase the super glue doesn't hold up!

My cousins came for a visit for a little bit and I was able to watch little Berdie while her mother took her other daughter to dance class. She is a sweet little baby! I have a picture of her below.

Alll in all, this mini greenhouse was easy to put together. It is a bit flimsy and I might remedy that somehow!

Tomorrows mission: To get some seeds planted!

Enjoy the pictures!
Mini Greenhouse in Pieces on my front room floor!


Jiffy Sevens  and Plant Labels
Soiless media and a container to start plants in.

Cute little Berdie I got to watch for a little bit as I assembled some my greenhouse!

Heating mat to propagate seeds on!


This finished mini greenhouse!

Saturday, February 11, 2012

Hello, its me again

So I am officially waiting for someone to chat with on turbotax. I am almost done with my taxes, but just have one question that I can't figure out on my own.

Oh cool, someone finally showed up.


Well I got that all done! Whew, now my taxes are completed! Yippee!

SO, I am cold! I miss Florida weather! It was just great weather down there!

Here is a picture! Just because I have nothing else to say!

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

la la la la la

Today was Today!!!! Argadabebarg!! That is my new word when I am frustrated! HA! I had a headache all day today and it didn't go away until around 5:30! I took medicine at 1pm! What is with that, the medicine probably didn't take the headache away. It is my fault I had a headache, I played xbox last night with out wearing my glasses. Yes, I wear glass, didn't you know? I wear glasses when I am looking at screens or reading books. Its not that it makes the picture any clearer, but according to my eye doctor my eyes overwork and then it leads to headaches......blah.

I made dinner tonight, that usually doesn't happen. RB and I are trying to be better at eating out, Because our budget has changed drastically in the last six months. It probably isn't good to eat out so much anyways. I made yummy sloppy joes!

I am so excited!! I ordered seeds yesterday! Yes, I am a bit weird. I get excited about ordering seeds. The lady I ordered them from has already shipped them and they are on their way to me! The other things I ordered yesterday have not been shipped yet. I ordered a seed propagation heat mat! I have wanted to get one of those since I learned about them in my greenhouse management class! Guess what else I ordered? I ordered a mini greenhouse!! I hope it is as good as I want it to be! So I will be planting lots of seeds and then growing plants. If they turn out great(Which I hope they will), I will be selling them! YAY! Did I mention that is what I got my degree in, so I am not just doing this in the dark. I will take pictures and update my progress on this blog!

Sunday, February 5, 2012

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

I know I have not finished my indepth blogging about my vacation to florida, Dont worry I have all the information written down. I just need to transfer it to my blog!

I really really really miss Florida! Sitting here at my house with my cold toes, makes me miss it even more. It was just nice and warm there, perfect temperature. Although there was one time I was pretty cold after I got drenched on a ride at universal studios (best rapids ride ever!), but I really wasn't cold until it was getting later in the day. Oh how nice it was to sit in the sun!

RB has the door open and has let the cat in, now it is really really cold! Ok, so the cat looks pregnant, but the owner before said they had got her fixed. I hope that was the truth. If she does I will have some cute looking kittens and will be taking her to the vet.

January 16, 2012 Monday
Today we all went over to Disney's Animal Kingdom park. I loved how much it
was like a jungle! RB and his dad got fast passes to the Mount everest roller coaster ride. We all went on the Kali rapids ride. That was a very short ride, but it was still fun. I got really
soaked and my jeans basically stayed wet for like four hours. It made me kind
of cold at times. We then wandered over to the safari exbition. That was amazing. There were so many animals I got to see and so many pictures I got! Next RBs dad and RB went on the Mount everest roller coaster. RBs dad didnt get motion sick this time, but after that ride we went to over to dinoland and went on the ride called "dinosoar" and that made him pretty motion sick. I went on the same ride, but I was fine for that ride. I really think if I would have gone on mount everest and then dinosaur I would have been really sick feeling too. The dinosour ride is like indiana jones ride. It is very crazy bumpy! It is mostly in the dark, which I didn't like. You seriously
couldn't see a whole lot.
We then took the train over to the conservation center. Over there was the animal hospital and like a farm petting zoo. There wasn't any animals in the hospital ( which is a good thing), but there were a whole lot of interesting bugs to look at! The petting place had regualar farm animals, sheep, goats, donkeys, and pigs. There was probably more, but that is all I saw. We took the
train back over to the park and the parade was about to start. It was crazy to try and manuver around all the people, I wanted to stand and watch, but I kept getting ushered on. It was a bit hectic.
I was hungry at this point, Rb and I got some fries and onion rings to hold us off until dinner. We went and got in the auditorium to watch "Finding Nemo the Musical"! It was pretty cute, but it was just basically the movie. It was only about half hour to fourty five minutes and I
had to wear my ear phones because it was so loud. Most people probably dont need ear plugs but ever since I had bells palsy my ear has been really sensitive and I get headaches easy around loud
noise.
After that was over the park was closed and we went over to a burger king and ate dinner. I was to tired to do anything else. So I am sitting here at the hotel room while RB and his dad went and took the bus over to epicot to see the fire work show. I will probably be going to sleep soon, because I am pooped!!

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

As of right now I am sitting on a bridge in front of splash mountain. I don't like log rides, mostly I don't like big hills they just drop you down. Today we are at magic kingdom! We drove here and parked our car and jumped onto a tram. The team doesn't drop you off at the park entrance, you either take a monorail or a ferry boat over to the park. I wanted to take the ferry! So that's what we did. When we first got into the parkwe went on.the train all the.way around the park, just so I could see what it was like. When we got off that there was a small bussish thing that was gonna take us to the castle, so I hoped on! Yeah it was fun! Here was a show going on at the castle so it stopped a little before it and we for out and watched the rest of the show. We then headed over to tomorrowland and went on the people movie, quite a nice slow ride to give you a good tour of the tommorrow land area.

January 15, 2012 10:31 Kissimee Florida
Well we finally did make it to Florida last night around 7pm, I was really tired! First class was fun again. We had a nice meal, and I ate some really good salmon! This plane had larger seats then the other one. We arrived got out luggage and picked up our car renal. We were then off to find our hotel. It is a pretty nice hotel! We are staying in a Suite! Two bedrooms! I was so tired that I basically went to sleep.
Today we all actually slept in until noon! We must have been worn out from all of our travels yesterday, because I sure was! So we went over to Hollywood studios today and I got a cut button pin that says "1st visit"! We went and got in line at star tours. Wow, so I went on that ride when I was a kid over in Disneyland, and I didn't get sick then. This ride made me really really motion sick! It was so not fun! Rb and his dad enjoyed it though! I was really glad when it was over! After we got off that ride I am glad it was about time for the Indiana Jones movie production show was about to start and I am also glad it was outside so I could get fresh air. We were half hour early so we sat in the benches and by the time it started my motion sickness was gone. phew!! Watched a little bit of the Jedi training course ( a bunch of kids our trained to be Jedi's and they all get to defeat Darth Vader:).
Muppet 3D Movie was hilarious! It had some good jokes! Next we were just started walking around the park to see what was around. RB's dad saw a line to get your picture taken with mator and lightning McQueen and he wanted to get a picture of him with them for his grandson.
Next we were going to go to the "Honey I shrunk the kids" play park but it was closed by this time :( oh well. We then ventured over to the Hollywood movie ride. It was a fun ride:) You went through scenes from movies and they had some actors in the middle that took over the tram we were on :)
We then waited in line for the "toy story mania" ride. It actually only took us about forty minutes to finally get on the ride even though the line said like an hour and ten minute wait. It was a fun ride! You go around in a little vehicle and shoot a things. RB got the highest score in our car!
The park was closed by the time we got out of that ride and so we went and found our car and drove over to walmart. We had stuff to get, one of the things being a blanket! The blanket they have at the hotel does not let my body get air! So I kept waking up cold and wet! I know not a very pretty sight, but that's what happened! It was frustrating! But now I have a cute Tinkerbell blanket that will hopefully work better for me tonight. We got just stuff to heat up in the microwave at our hotel room for dinner. Whew! That was our first day in Florida. Stay tuned for more, and hopefully more pictures in this post! I am tired and that is why there aren't any pictures.
