blah, blah, blahg

I was tired of the blah color of my blog, so I changed it. I don't need anything more to be depressing. I would like to know how to change the skin and all the other cool things you can do with a blog, so if any of you know of a good tutorial let me know.

Well, the pharmacy changed one of my meds to a generic without me giving the okay. Now I feel fuzzy-faced, drowsy and headachie. Man, medicine for bi-polar is a love/hate thing, at least it is for me. My friend Jen was telling me about a guy she knows who his bi-polar and along with his meds he is doing some homeopathic stuff, like changing his diet. I would really like to try things like that to see if they help while I still try to figure out the right combo of meds.

Maybe on my next entry I'll feel better and have more upbeat things to say. Ciao

nothing to shout about

Our offer has been accepted on the house we want to buy in Vallejo, CA. So in about 2-3 weeks Aaron will come back to Utah for me and we'll live happily ever after again.

The kids and I really miss Aaron. This move is affecting Ethan more than Vaughn. Ethan is becoming more stubborn and disobedient. It is very hard to have such bad behavior in someone else's house.

I don't have a lot to say more than that, but I do want to get in the habit of blogging, even if it is about nothing. (Also, I'm being threatened by a certain Arkie to blog since I have a good connection.)

worst drive EVER

Aaron has been transfered to Oakland, so last Monday we left for Arkansas. Aaron was driving the moving van with our entire house in it, and I was in the car with the kids. You may already see the problem: I was alone in the car with the kids for 3 days. We did have car DVD players for the kids this time, but really it was just another thing to play with and try to break.
The first night we spent in Kansas City, about an hour out of town we started getting freezing rain and could barely see out our windows. The second night we spent in Cheyane and again about an hour out of town we were on icy roads with drifting snow. The last day we drove the drifting snow was so bad that there were a few times that we had zero visability. I have never sweat so hard with so little physical exersion as I had during this trip. Worst trip EVER!
Any way the kids and I are staying with my parents in Salt Lake until Aaron finds a house for us in California. I'll probably be here for the next three weeks so there are a lot of you that I plan on seeing while here.

a few more updates

Since last I bloged Aaron has been to Louisiana twice for huricane relief. He also has bought another bike, it's a Vulcan drifter. It's pretty, but he plans to work on it a bit. Aaron wants me to help him choose a color scheme for it. Cool.

I have started to feel better and started many projects, probably more than I can handle. Let's see, there's carding cotton, making a sun hat out of grocery bags, crocheting winter hats, knitting a sweater, trying to get Aaron to make a lap loop for me, making a pattern and sewing a skirt, and other assorted endevours.

That's all I can think of to write right now.

Well, it's been well over a month since I blogged last and I need to get going on it again.

Let's see, updates, are there any updates? YES! Our house will be closing this coming week! No more double house payments! Also, with part of what we get from the house Aaron wants to get a really pretty new bike, it's called something like V-rod or something, I don't know ;) But I do know that it is loud and shinny. We still haven't agreed if we (I) want to spend that much money on something with only two wheels.

I recently found out how cool Craigslist.com is. I got a brand new Schwinn jogger/biking stroller for $85. That's an incredible price that I could not pass up, especially now that I am committed to start an exercise program. I tried walking with the kids in the wagon, but that was painful, and not in an "I'm going to get stronger" kinda way. It's already motivated Aaron to go on several bike rides with the kids.

The reason I have finally committed to exercise and started a program is because there is now no intimidating big hills like there is in the Salt Lake Valley. Everything is absolutely flat out here. So it doesn't matter which direction I run first because none of it will be up hill on the way home! It feels good to be moving and getting more aerobic, but it's hard for me to remember to take it easy and not go all out in the beginning. I went a little crazy when I first go the stroller and did a lot of biking. I didn't hurt the next day, so I went for a little bit of a harder ride. then that night I got a nasty soar throat cold and had to spend a couple of days in bed, and that is when the sore muscles kicked in. It made being sick that much more painful. Never-the-less, I look forward to feeling well all the way again and start moving again.

If anybody is interested in what I'm reading or have read, I've started keeping track on a website called coolreads.com. It's a website that my good friend Jen turned me on to. I don't have even a fraction of what I've read on there, but as I have time, and remember it all, I will get it on there.

All right, so that is it for now. I really need to start blogging more often, because who wants to read long boring blogs that loosely cover a month? I think short, frequent blogs are much more fun, informative and easy to read. So, taking a lesson from myself, I will be writing to you all in no latter than a week.

Sorry everybody. Just to clarify that last post, I meant my in-law's buyers. Aaron and my buyers are solid, they aren't going anywhere, so we just consider their buyers ours.

Well, here I am in the parking lot of another fast food joint using their wi-fi. I'm actually supposed to be looking for a job right now, but I have never had very much luck doing that online. I guess I'll have to go out and get turned down, or accepted face-to-face. ugh. I'm looking for a job that I won't feel bad for leaving after just a couple of months. This will just be so that we can pay mortgage and rent without Aaron having to sell his motorcycle. I just want to cry.

We went to the Memphis temple last night with our branch, it was nice. It was the second time I got to go this week. On Wednesday I went with the Young Women to do baptisms for the dead and last night was an endowment session. A boy in our branch went to receive his endowments in preparation for his mission. I wonder how he felt about it all, other than overwhelmed, that's just a given. When I went on Wednesday I felt so out of the normal flow that I am accustomed to. I didn't know that we had to bring our own towels, nobody told me that I was responsible for bringing them since I am in the Young Women's presidency. I also found out that you can't go just when ever you want, they don't hold the same kind of hours as large temples do. Also they don't have clothes to rent, so last night I had to borrow some that they keep on hand for the missionaries. It was a little frustrating for me, but while I was actually in the session everything felt right and regular. I don't get a whole lot of either of those anymore.

Well, back to looking for a job. It was really nice to see your responses, keep them up :) They make me feel less detached from you.

I know, I know, I know

All right, so we've been in Arkansas for a month now and I've blogged once.
Just to update you a little bit everything is pretty good, here anyway. Back in Utah however, the buyers for our house have fallen through, again. But we are healthy, happy, and in good company.

I am sitting out side of a McDonald's right now using their wi-fi. If that tells you anything I won't be able to blog again for a while

talk to ya'll latter.
