  • Date day.

    Greg and I had a great date day.  We went to downtown Temecula.  We got cheese at the Cheese Factory...some yummy sharp cheddar.  We also went to the Sweet Factory and got some fudge.  They also had a little farmers market set up.  It was fun mingling with the locals for the first time.  Everyone is so nice; probably because mostly everyone here is established.  There are not as many punk kids.  There were a lot of dogs too.  We saw a really cute Grey pit bull puppy.  After downtown, we had lunch at Red Lobster.  I got an orange tropical freeze, Caesar salad, yummy bread, lobster pizza and steamed clams.  That was a good lunch.  Then we saw Avatar in 3D.  THAT was awesome.  Oh yeah, earlier we went to Lowes and I got a couple plants for inside the house.  I miss taking care of the plants at Brent's CarpetOne.  It will be nice to have some plants to take care of again.  I got so good at it!  Now, we are watching the Cowboys game.   I hope they win.  Chargers fans really annoy me.  GO COWBOYS!  K BYE.

  • Stuffed!

    I am so full!  I made dinner tonight.  I don't always make dinner.  We have what we call a "fend for yourself" night.  Those come depending on my mood or what I had to do that day.  But tonight I made salmon, cheesy potatoes and dinner rolls.  I have never made cheesy potatoes before.  They were so good; I ate them all!  Greg and Katherine loved the salmon.  I wasn't really into it.  I just wanted potatoes and bread.  Earlier today I chopped up shrimp and squeezed some lemons.  I am making ceviche for lunch for the next couple of days.  My favorite! 

    Tomorrow Devon and Jessi are bringing the kids to pick up Katherine and see the house.  They are not coming until the evening so I thought it would be fun to have dessert together.  So, we are having banana splits.  After typing that, I think I might cheat and have a little tonight.. sounds so good!  Devon and Jessi are taking Katherine to Disneyland on Saturday.  On Sunday they are going to a tea party place for Baileys birthday party.  She is going to have a great weekend.  She deserves it.  She did so well this week with homework and listening.  I think since we have been here at the new house she has been behaving more.  I think because she feels more stable here and we have a daily routine.  She knows exactly what to expect.  OH, I am super excited about her birthday. 

    I left early to pick Katherine up from school so I can walk for a bit before hand.  I realize that exercise is going to make birth easier, not to mention I should be doing it anyway.  That and drinking more water are my goals as of lately. 

    K bye!

  • What evs..

    I am so tired!  I finished the rest of my reading for school about an hour ago.  I am not going to do anything last minute this course.  Last class was a mess with the moving, pregnancy, Holidays and everything else.  Plus, I feel like I am cheating myself if I am not doing my best.  I also got my first B!  UGH!  It did not bring my average down too much, so I am okay with it.  This class is the philosophy of human conduct.  I am loving it so far.  That always helps when you like the class!  I have loved all of them except for Literature thus far.  It is interesting to learn about different theories on morals and ethics.  I am not sure what my opinion on it is yet.  I have thoughts, but I am sure they will change or strengthen as I learn more throughout the course. 

    Katherine's birthday is on the 12th.  I can't wait until she opens her presents! 

    I am 23 weeks pregnant with Tyler Greggory.  We are all super excited.  Katherine kisses my belly all the time.  She is going to be the best big sister ever.

    Me and Greg are still doing really well.  I couldn't be happier!!

  • I feel like a big stress ball right now.  I have to write a paper this week about returning to school.  I don't even know what my topic or thesis statement statement is going to be yet.  You would think this would be an easy one, but I can't seem to get my thoughts straight.  Actually, I have many thoughts, I just am having trouble narrowing them into one thesis.  I don't know why I am stressing about it.  All I have to do is free write more, make lists and do other prewriting techniques.  I want to do a good job, but I need to stop being a perfectionist and just do the best that I can.  I didn't used to think that being a perfectionist was a bad thing, but it is!  It is so stressful.  I can't wait until I don't struggle with it anymore.  It causes so much unneeded anxiety in my life.  It's not as big of a deal as I make it out to be.  Anyway, now that I got that out, I am going to go work on my paper.

  • Early in the morning.

    It's 5:52 in the morning; I don't normally wake up until 6:30am.  The sound of a beeping smoke detector, TJ wining and Sylvester crying for food woke me up.  Greg was up already getting ready for work.  We have three smoke detectors in this apartment and we could not figure out where the beeping was coming from.  I eventually figured it out and the battery could not have been removed fast enough.  It was enough to drive me crazy had he not been able to make the beeping stop before he left for work.  So, the beeping is gone, TJ finally quit wining and Sylvester is now sitting next to me giving himself a bath.  He cries every morning like we never feed him.  We don't leave food out for him, because then he over eats and coughs up hair balls.  Now we just feed him in the morning and when we get home from work. 

    Yesterday was the first day in weeks that we have been able to be in town all day.  We both got up and cleaned.  We were completely done, with the exception of laundry, by 10:30am.  It's amazing how quickly the apartment can be cleaned with two people working on it.  I love how I didn't have to ask for his help.  He gets up every Sat or Sun and cleans the bathrooms.  That was definately a quality I wanted and got!  It sounds silly, but if he wouldn't have helped me, I would have been cleaning all day!  After the cleaning was done, we ate lunch and enjoyed a couple of our shows.  Then we went grocery shopping and went to Jalapenos, the best mexican food in my town.  They have ceviche for 4 bucks!  You get a lot for your money too!  After dinner, we relaxed for the rest of the evening.  I was grateful the day went by so slowly. 

    Work is going well, although I don't know, since I am a temp, how many of us (if any) they will be able to keep.  I don't have to worry about it until April first.  I know it is close, but I still am not going to worry about it until then.  I like this job because it is 3 min from my apartment, everyone is nice, I fit in, I get to listen to my ipod while I work, I get to come home and watch my soap opera and eat salsa and chips for lunch, and it doesn't stress me out working there.  Just traffic coming home from my old job wore me out by the time I got home.  I feel like I have more energy now when I get home.  We have been going to the gym 3 times a week.  I am glad and surprised that I have been able to keep that up.  I read for school while on the treadmill, so that is my motivation.  Because I have to read and it is the only place that I have minimal distractions and it allows me to focus better.  I am taking English Compisition 1 right now.  So far, so good.

    It was nice getting up this early.  I don't know that I would have been able to had I not been woken up by the noises.  I am so busy during the day, I even have to down grade my cell phone minutes because I don't even have time to talk on the phone.  My mom and I used to talk once every couple of days, at least, but now it's once a week.  Everytime I am in front of the computer it's to do homework.  Waking up was nice so that I can finally go through my over flowing email and write in here.  I should write more often for practice.  I probably will, at least while I am in English classes.  There is not as much reading as there was in my last class, so I might have a little more time to.  We will see; there are three chapters I have to read this week and I don't know how long they are yet. 

    Okay, time to get ready for work.  Lets see how long it takes for me to write again.
