Weekend In Billings!

So, we went up to Billings, Montana for Matt's second cousin's birthday! We decided to drive up there and it take two hours and then we shopped for awhile! I live in the middle of nowhere (wal-mart is an hour away!), so a trip to a mall is amazing when I get to go! But we were bored on the way up there and took some photos! And then we got to go to my happy place!(Target) Then the mall and then the party! All in all an awesome day!

Mom!

I wanted to write something to do with Mothers day! So, this is for you Mom! My Mom has been there through anything and everything for me. Yes she gets on my nerves sometimes but I wouldn't change it for the world.(Kisses to you Mom, j/k hehe)When I was little she was there through the scrapes and bruises, the school functions and the never ending fights with my sister. We tried her patience, that is for sure! One of our favorite things to do was watch "Anne of Greene Gables". Or any other movie. She taught me how to put on make-up. She taught me how to be a lady(as Daddy would put it!). She was there for me when I made a very bad decision(ex-husband) and she was there when that bad decision led me to the lose of my baby. She was there when I finely had my Weezer man and through the end of that horrible marriage. She has been there through the sorrow and the happy...Thank You and I love you so very much, Mom!

Weekend in some Pics!

I woke up this morning to my little man sicker than a dog! I had full intensions of writing a blog, but I think little man needs some cuddle time. So, here is a collage of some pics from this weekend!

Scooby-doo-oo-oo and poopity-doo!

I am making up words now! Hehe! Yesterday, instead of my son waking me up with cuddles he decided to turn on the T.V. in the living room. He went channel surfing! I think it is so cute the way he like to try and mimic us! But this time he actually found something on T.V. He stopped on the cartoon network and found... Scooby-Doo! When it was over he kept asking me to find Scooby-doo-oo! So precious! I remember watching it when I was little! To say the least the old was better! In the old one they said stuff like groovy and yikes, but now it is just cheeky! If it becomes a regular show of his I fear I might start saying cheeky!LOL!!

And now to explain my made up word! Last night I was one poopity-doo waitress! I had a party of 20 people! Ahhh! (if you know me at all, you know I hate waiting tables!!) So, the party went really well! Yay! Then I go and pick up their plates and I go back for more and this one lady tells me she would like her check! Her check! I was like I wrote it on one ticket could I have you come up to the till and ring you up individually? She said, "I don't think that will work, please give me my ticket"! Ha! So, I go running back to the wait station! I get about 15 of them written out with their drinks and everything! And then they decided to come up to the till! Ha! I think it took me close to an hour to ring all of them up! But they did make it worth my time! Every single lady(it was a table of ladies if I didn't specify before) told me what an amazing job I did! I was pretty funny after it all happened! I am pretty sure when she told me that they all wanted separate tickets I look like a deer in the headlights! LOL!

Vlog!!

Before you watch this! This is one of my first direct vlogs and I am just weird on camera! So, please don't judge to harshly!

Ugh!

When I lived in California, I loved rainy days! To sit in the house and veg and watch movies was just so relaxing! Now that I live in wyoming, it sucks big nasty, hairy you know whats!! All winter long you are stuck in the house because of the snow and negative( yes negative, like 30 below) weather. And then here comes the rain and wind! And I loved going outside in the rain in Cali! Nice and warm and rejuvinating! But here... the rain is cold!! Don't get me wrong the snow is pretty, but the novelty of it has worn off! I am begging for warm, yummy, flip flop wearing weather! I think today I might make some chicken noodle soup(from scratch, no opening up a can and calling it good) and get some work around the house done!

Just alittle something!

I love this time of year! Everything so new and bright! You just want to bake in the sun and grow things! My little Weezer man loves it too! He can finally go out side without every stitch of clothing he owns on! I just get inspired to throw out door parties with yummy BBQ's and drinks! I can't wait for tomorrow! I love preparing for events and then to see Weezer finding eggs is just so much fun!!
Then tonight I finally get to bartend! I was thinking of doing a drink called an "Easter Egg". I think I might layer HYPNOTIQ, watermelon pucker and 7up in a martini glass! Sounds like fun! Lets see if I can layer it the way I want! Well I think I have talked you ears off enough! LOL! I hope you have a wonderful Easter tomorrow and a wonderful day to day!

Early Riser!

My little Weezer man usually gets up around 7am, but not today! And he is usually laying and watching T.V. in bed with me while I wake up. (I work nights, hence the hard time waking up!) This morning he didn't wake me up! I woke up to the dogs barking in their kennels(they are naughty dogs, hence the kennels). I think hence is the word of the day! LOL! And when I went out to see why they were barking a man was in my porch at the front door looking at me! Picture this...major bed head, no real make up on, make-up that didn't want to come off slimed down my face, p.j.'s my mom gave me for Christmas that make me look like a 12 year old and then there is a guy looking at me! Ugh! I wanted to get mad!! Well after the whole deer in the headlights wore off I opened the door and said, "Helloooooo!" (still not a happy camper!) He said that he was part of the construction crew ruining my alley! Ugh! I guess the sewer has to be fixed!! And my house has to be shaken! But the funny part is I waited on him last night and I don't think he recognized me without make-up, regular clothes or my hair done! I just thought that was funny! Thanks for reading!!

Computer Problems and Martini's

It's funny I had a co-worker (my muse, Katie!!) film me making my awesome new candy inspired Martini for the contest that I am going to in ten more days!! (Weezer tickle break! So, if I go into some random topic you know why!) But my computer was serviced and now my flip program doesn't work. I have to call them again!! It really annoys me when computers don't do what you want them to!! I am so... so... so EXCITED for this martini contest! Last year I won the big prize! I got the title "Master Mixologist"!!! So, this year I probably wont win, but I know what to expect, so I can just have a blast!! And my boss is buying all of us a room and letting most of the staff that is old enough attend and support me!! This year I get friends and family to have my back! My drinks name is "Pink Secret" and it has alot to keep a secret about! OOH! LA LA! And it is pink and blue and I am doing a sexy display! I know a guy wouldn't order a pink drink willingly, but maybe the the "sexy" will win them over!! The pictures are of martini's, but not mine because I can't get my flip to work. Hopefully, in the next couple days I will figure it out so you can see the sexy-ness!! LOL!

Wow!

I was bartending last week and a guest came in and he likes to drink alot when he does come in. He doesn't come in very often, but when he does he comes in to spend a lot of money! And I like him! He is a complete smart@!# and I love people that can keep up with my dryer sense of humor! And throw it back at me! So... He walks in and as I was gearing up for a night of bantering, he suprised me! He looked at me and said, "You look happy!(in a very loud voice!) Your so much hotter!" Yeah, the hot part made me feel good, but that isn't how Iview myself. I am not hot and I don't care to be. I am me! But he wouldn't let it go. He kept telling me this all night long. And then it hit me... I am happy! I am excited for my Martini Contest(in 15 more days!) and my wonderful fiance and I are doing good, planning things and gearing up for summer! And we are just corny and I love that!! The other day we were driving home(Matt, Weezer and I) and we were just dancing and having a good time (see what I mean when I say corny!) It's awesome to be totally comfortable with someone! Then with Weezer doing so good, even though he tends to get sick alot! But I really couldn't ask for a better son! Life is GOOD! For once I feel like it couldn't get any better! And I am not saying perfect, but the bad things are what keeps things interesting! No one is perfect and why would you want to be! Now that I got alittle inspirational speaker on ya I think its time to get ready for work! I hope I didn't bore you to much! I just had a realization!!

Infatuations and Fevers!

I have been really into youtube lately and I have been seeing these girls with gorgeous hair and wishing I had hair like theirs! I have always had really thin hair that is limp and lifeless! And then I started to watch their tutorial and some of them had clip-in hair extensions!! Well...I looked up on how to make these wonderful hair extensions!! It turned out to be really inexpensive and really easy!! So in the pictures above, on the right is me with the clip-ins in my hair! And then the one next to it was Weezer copying me in one of the other pictures I didn't think turned out so well (I'm a dork!). But he turned out so CUTE! And then me without the extensions in and another one of Weezer!

But this morning, Weezer came in and woke me up saying that he wasn't feeling good and that he needed to go see a doctor to fix, because he was broken. And he has been sick none stop with the sniffles, but tonight we got home and he felt hot. I took his temp and it was up to 102. Of course I start freaking out!! And I got it to go down, but my poor little man is just so sick!! Off to the doctors tomorrow!!

Lactose, Almond Milk and The Asylum

So, I have been having the hardest time this winter with my health! I keep catching colds and the flu!! I really can't stand being sick and this is driving me nuts!! So, this last time I went to the doctor and was perscribed some medication and while I was taking it...it made me really sensitive to things and I think it might have made an allergy alittle more noticable! I think I might be allergic to dairy!! (Crying!) But so on to the next thing, I decided to cut all dairy out. So, I bought some almond milk. And it really is pretty good! But the second morning of having it, My little weezer decided to wake up and not wake me up right away. Naughty, Naughty little boy! But he thought it was choca milk... Well he woke saying that he was scared! And so of course I console my precious baby boy and cuddle and watch cartoons with him in bed, because he was really insistant that we stay in bed (first clue! but the blonde didn't get it!). And then since I did just wake up I said that I really had to get out of bed( I had to pee. Sorry to much info but it's part of the story) I go in the bathroom and there is no toilet paper (second clue. Still didn't get it!) So, I walk into the kitchen to get some more from the cupboard and I notice a big wet mark in the floor. Then I notice the toilet paper in the middle of it and then the carton of almond milk laid on it side... open! To say the least I saw red! Deep red with fumes coming from my ears. So, I turn on my heels and to my surprise Weezer is right behind me with tears in his eyes. He looked up at me and says..."I sorry Mommy...please don't mad... I sorry!" And the tears start flowing. *frustrated sigh!!* And my heart melted!! I just told him to go to his room and think about what he did. So I cleaned it up and then let him out of his room. Poor Baby knew what he had done wrong. But looking back at it I can't help but laugh!
Oh! I am so excited for the Artini Festival!! I am entering in to the Martini Contest again this year!! If you are in Cody Wyoming April 16th and are of age to drink. You should come and check out his competition!! I won Judges choice last year and I think I have an awesome drink this year! I am calling it an Asylum!! Kind of Dangerous sounding but so so yummy! Well, I had lots to talk about! Sorry I haven't blogged in a long time, But hopefully I can get back into this again!!
