OK...who am I kidding...I'm not doing good blogging this week.
Today, after mom left for work, Heather overslept, so Catherine stayed home from school. Then, Steve overslept and he was almost late for work. He woke up at 8:30 and had to be there at 9. oops.
Then, I woke up and went to see Heather. I was sooo tired, I wanted to go back to sleep, but instead I forced myself to get up, get ready and take the kids to Mamals. So, by 10:50 we were off. When we got there she started cooking pork chops, green beans, mustard greens, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and mac and cheese. It was a feast. It took her a long time to cook it all, so by the time we ate we were all about to waste away. The food was excellent tho.
Around 3:30 we headed back to the house, and rested a bit before mom came home. Then we went to eat supper at some place called Lisa's and it was a small little country buffet. it was pretty good.
Now, we're home, the kids have been bathed and hair washed. I used the blow dryer to straighten catie grace's hair and used my straightener to pull all the curls out. She looks so pretty!
Anyway, we're just sitting around now. I don't plan on going to bed anytime soon, but that's what vacations are for!!

Day 1
Well, this morning Mike and Erin took me to the airport, because it was just too early when Jules left for work. I just couldn't do it. I got there at 7:30 and my flight was at 10:40. It was pretty good though, because security was MAJOR crowded and it took me a while to get through. Then when it was FINALLY time to board my flightl, I was really nervous about flying. I hate flying. I did fine, no panic attacks...and successfully went through a whole flight without grabbing any men's legs (a story for later).
When I came down the escalator at the airport I saw mom and Heather standing there with little Sarah Beth. I was so excited to see them. So we sat in some rocking chairs at the airport and I just held little teeny sarah beth for a few minutes! she's sooooooo small and cute! Heather's such a good mom. She lets me hold her even though I almost let her head fall off!
We stopped at Cracker Barrel on the way home and had a nice meal, then made the long drive home. Heather took a nap and mom fell asleep too, so i just listened to the radio the whole way. We finally got home and did a few little things around the house.
We just went a little bit ago and had some supper and now we're just watching the Alabama game. Bama's winning, but not by as much as I'd like.
Anyway, not much done today. We get catherine and connor back tomorrow and I'm super excited to see them.

A real post below...
A real post is below...but i just ran across this picture and I had to post it!
Read her little shirt! :)
doodly-doo
SO, today, I am very very tired. I was up WAY too late last night. Partly because I wanted to eat at a salad bar restaurant last night, and then i proceeded to watch Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, and Pushing Daisies. All of those were Tivo'd. Which means, I didn't stop watching TV until WAY too late last night. If only I weren't so easily entertained. :) So then we realized that Julie's work clothes were in the washer and she needed them dry for tomorrow. So, She went to bed, because she has to get up at 3:30, and I went to fold the clothes in the dryer. They weren't dry. So...I went and packed lunches and returned to the dryer. They still weren't dry. DARN! So, I decided even though it was late that I would shower and just go to bed with wet hair that way it wouldn't take me so long to get ready in the morning (and since it was so late, getting up early wasn't going to happen.) So, I showered...and then just stood under the warm water. It felt so good. Temps have been hovering around the 40's during the day around here lately and even colder at night. We don't turn the heat on much, b/c it's EXPENSIVE but also because it gets too hot at night sometimes. So...I just stood under the warm water, defrosting my frozen toes and fingers. When I finally got out of the shower and dried off and put clothes back on, the dryer was finished. I folded those clothes and then switched the washer to the dryer and went to bed. I slept so good!
OHhh. that's nice. That little golden tree is just fantastic. I bet Bob Ross would want to paint it righttherethissecond. :)
And Jules. But she wouldn't want me to put her picture up. But at least in the time I'm away from those two, I'll be with Mom, Heather, Catie Grace, Connor, Sarah Beth, Mamal and Stevie. I can't wait to see them!!
One side effect of sleeping with wet hair:
Yeah. Do you see that? That little cock-a-doodly-doo there?? it's not supposed to be there!? My hair is not that short ANYWHERE. There's no reason for any piece of my hair to be 2 inches long. I have no idea how that happened. But anyway, today, it's standing straight up. Nothing I did this morning would make it lay down. So, I'm going with it.
In other news, look at the view out the window at my office. OH, the colors of fall in Colorado are just beautiful! In a bit the sky will turn a brighter blue (after the sun has been up a while longer) and it will be just gorgeous. Look:
OHhh. that's nice. That little golden tree is just fantastic. I bet Bob Ross would want to paint it righttherethissecond. :) Ok, I'm very excited to be going home tomorrow, but I'll miss this little guy:

Gourd-jus fun!
We did pumpkin carving last night at our CommUNITY group. It was pretty stinkin fun...even though very few people showed up. I was suprised by the fact that not many showed, because they show for things like a mediocre dinner served by yours truly, but not pumpkin carving. Oh well, to each his own. Anyway, it was pretty fun. I painted instead of carving, mostly because I wasn't digging the pumpkin guts this year. yuck! And this is how mine turned out:
Ignore the mess surrounding the pumpkin...Everyone was still working. :)
Oooh! Scary!! He's frankenstein. And you know where I got the idea? I went into Microsoft Word and looked at the halloween clip art. They make all kinds of smileys that are halloween-related and since they're round it's easy to paint a pumpkin like one of the smileys. So that's what i did. I like his hair. It sort of looks like Eli Mattson, from America's Got Talent:
Photo taken from Eli Mattson's MySpace Page.
Doesn't the hair of my pumpkin kinda look like that, except Eli's is lighter? And might I add, Eli is just a beautiful man, isn't he? OK...moving on.
In other news...my feet really stink today. I am wearing these
OLD ballet type shoes and they stink to high heaven. If i arch my feet a certain way, or flip my foot out of my shoe even a little...a stench takes over! YUCK!!
Ok...that's all I have. I hope you're still awake after all this mediocre news! :)

Among Other Things...
Hi!
So, this weekend I got my hair cut. At the Aveda Institute. A girl named Kelsey did it. It turned out really really good...I really like it. It's a tad bit shorter than I would have liked...but it's growing on me. And...you pay 12 dollars...and they give you a scalp massage and use these calming oils in your hair and then they wash your hair and it feels so good! Plus, she spent like 15 minutes talking with me about what i liked and didn't like. She was so patient with me and really wanted to get it right. I loved it! Then, when you finish your haircut they give you lip gloss to wear!! yay!!
It was a great experience. The getting there wasn't tho. the day was supposed to start with a run to Hobby Lobby to return some wooden letters that I ended up not using for Sarah Beth's wall hanging...I was supposed to get something like $21.00 back. I originally paid with my debit card, so I thought that they would just give me cash back. Therefore, I decided to just run by there on my way to my haircut, passing by the ATM on the way to hobby lobby. The Aveda Institute tips can only be paid in cash, so i was just going to pay for the haircut with cash too. I had about 24 dollars in my account and Jules, who was going to lend me the 20 until payday, had about 28. (yes, i know...we are in a new state of poor). So...i passed the ATM and went on to Hobby Lobby, but guess what!? They told me they couldn't give me cash back. When i OH-SO-POLITELY asked why not the lady said "I'm sorry. It's just too much money." Just as I was opening my mouth to say, "too much money? You have got to be kidding." the manager walked by and said, "no, it's not too much money, it's that you paid with a debit card and so you have to have the refund go on your debit card." I was furious. I said..."the money in my "debit card account" is real money...so why can't you give me real money???" Still, they wouldn't budge. So there I was, in the middle of nowhere...no banks nearby, furious as a swarm of hornets, and getting closer and closer to my haircut appointment time. I frantically ran over to the bank, wasting gas to go the opposite direction and took the 20 out of my account. The exact 20 they just credited back to my acct. HOW ANNOYING!! So...i rushed downtown only to realize after my very successful ride to the right place that I didn't have ANY change for the parking meters. The lots are like 20 dollars and there's no hourly rate, so a meter was my only chance. I had to park about 8 blocks away, and I was wearing heels. (stupid!) I ran in a Starbucks that was about 3 blocks from where i was parked, risking a ticket. I bought a coffee and when i asked for some quarters in my change the guy told me he couldn't do it. OH MAN! WHAT A DAY! so i told him that was fine, but I would be exchanging some of my dollars for some quarters out of his tip jar. He gave me the quarters I needed. So i walked back 3 blocks (ouch! my feet!) and paid the meter, and pretty much ran to my appointment. I was hot, sweaty, and blister-footed by the time i got there, so the relaxing experience of Aveda was just what the doctor ordered.
Anyway, that's really the only exciting thing that happened to me this weekend. My haircut looks pretty good...but i forgot my camera so i can't post a picture! soon. :)
OH...and Nicole! I think I remembered who you are!! Are you the girl who does the stool and podium at the stage sometimes and we walked in front of the camera that time and ruined the tape for that service?? Did I meet you at the same time as Jolene? If not, I'm really sorry! If so...yay! I remembered!!!

A Sigh of Relief
Hi!
So, HeatherRae is going home from the hospital today! YAY!! It's such a relief!
And...only 8 more days until I venture home to meet that sweet little girl Sarah Beth, and actually get to hug my sister!
AND! I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow! At the Aveda Institute. Hopefully they'll do a good job. I know someone who gets her hair cut there and it always looks good, so hopefully I'll come out feeling much better than when I went in. I am in some serious need of a hair transformation. :)
So, I watched my Tivo'd Pushing Daisies episode last night and I found myself just wanting more at the end. Jules watched the first 15 minutes with me before commenting on the "silliness" of the show and going into a different room. It is a silly show, but it's really funny to me. I have that sense of humor that laughs at general funniness. You don't even have to be REALLY that funny for me to laugh, because I find humor in most things. I laugh so loud at that show. Anyway...the episode from Wednesday night was about Chuck trying to find out about her family history, Olive's best friend at the convent was murdered, and Ned was trying to avoid his past while trying to convince Chuck that she didn't need the past in order to enjoy her future. It was all-in-all a pretty funny and sweet (as usual) episode. In short: it made me happy, as usual. And I swear, some day I will find a wonderful who looks at me like Ned looks at Chuck.
OH, i just realized it looks like I'm talking about two boys. Chuck is just the nickname of a girl named "Charlotte Charles". Sorry! :)
And Survivor China (two seasons ago) and Survivor: Fans vs Fave's were such good seasons! I mean, they had lots of the sneaky, blindsiding, back-stabbing, and repercussions for all of those things! I loved it! I loved it when in Survivor:China, James had BOTH immunity idols and didn't play either of them and got voted off! I love the surprise twists and turns of the show. I love to be shocked when i find out who gets voted off. This season, Survivor:Gabon, not so surprising. so far, every person who's been voted off has been exactly who was expected to get voted off. It's BORING! I will stick with it and see if it gets a little more juicy once they merge. Hopefully it will get a little more interesting!
And Grey's! Oh, I feel like it's getting back to the MEDICINE and a lot less soap opera-ish. I'm so glad! I think that the writers of the show are using the Chief to reign the show back in. I'm excited to see what changes will be coming. I like Meridith's vulnerability this year, and how she and Derek might actually work! I'm excited to see what comes!!
Anyway, that's all my TV Talk for now! Have a good weekend (my two readers!)
OH, and if the haircut is good, I'll post pictures!:)

WHEW
Well, it looks like Heather is going to be okay. Thank you if you prayed for her!
So, I am getting my hair cut this weekend! whooo! I'm excited.
There's really nothing to write here. I'm tired and sort of in a bad mood.
But I at least thought I would let my lone reader know that my sister (the stranger that my lone reader doesn't even know!) is okay! :)
Maybe I'll have more to say tomorrow since it's Survivor and Grey's night. :) And I have one episode of Pushing Daisies to watch too.
See you tomorrow.

Pray for Heather
Hi Y'all
I don't have much time...but please pray for Heather. She just had little Sarah Beth on Friday and now heather is back in the hospital for some sort of infection. They're not giving much info right now, but i'll post more when i can.
I know there are like 2 of you who read this, but please, if you are praying people please ask God to take care of her. I have no idea how serious it is...and if i had an extra 300 dollars i'd fly there to see her. I am so worried. I am just so far away!
So, please...pray for Heather. I need her to be okay. Please.

OH, she's so cute! And she has this dark hair under that little pink hat, and it's so cute! I am so glad to finally have my 2nd niece here with us!! I can't wait to go see her and sqeeze her and love on her and hug her! And I can't wait to hug my sister and tell her i'm glad she's okay! I was really freaked about this birthing process.

In just about 12 days i'll be going home to see them! Sweet Home Alabama!

Hi Y'all!
HI!
I originally started this blog so my sister HeatherRae (over to the left) who's about to have a baby ANY SECOND NOW!!! could read and know what I was up to, since we don't live in the same place anymore.
I've noticed you reading tho. Yes, you. You who are not my sister. :) And I must tell you that it makes me a little nervous.
Because I am NOT a writer. I'm not really all that funny (contrary to what the Fusion crowd thinks). And nothing remotely interesting happens to me on a daily basis.
Read: MY LIFE IS BORING!!
I mean, yeah, my sister cares what I had for supper and how many packs of toothpaste I got at sams and how many coupons I found for Grated Cheddar Cheese in the Sunday paper, but people who are not related to me (or who are not my sister, for that matter) DON'T CARE.
So, I'm sorry that you have stumbled upon my mediocre ramblings. If you're looking for any incredibly profound writings about how to raise a toddler, any good recipes for your dinner party, how to set a table for 9, what to wear with trouser jeans, the best fall fashions, a list of the top 100 best Bible Verses about wine, or the best at-home treatments for a rash, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. I can recommend some other enjoyable bloggers, if you'd like. But if you're looking for lots of mediocre rambling about crafts, my work, my boss, sinus infections, my family, tissues, Clic-Stic BIC pens, hair dye, eyes, what i had for supper last tuesday, board games, movies, music i like, and things that make me laugh, THEN THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU.
Oh, and I'll try to throw in the occasional rant about things that annoy me.
You gotta have goals.
Anyway, fair warning: the content of this blog will consistenly be sub-par.
Feel free to check out anytime. But if you stay, email me (krustylynn@gmail.com) and tell me hi, so I can say hi back. It's the polite southern thing to do.
* Hi Nicole! * see! Wasn't that fun?
Or not. Whatever. :)
Thanks for reading.

Hahaha! SO CORNY!
Look what I made for my NEW niece. It should go GREAT in her new room. Plus...I'll have Catie Grace a birthday present, Connor a birthday present, and now Sarah Beth will have one as well. I'm thinking I might add a little lavender bow at the top of the frame, but it's mostly done! :)
Also, someone from Boulder is reading. HI! Please leave me a comment or email me at krustylynn@gmail.com. THANKS!! I'd LOVE to know who you are! :)

A little of Heather rubbed off on me.
So. After work Jules and I had to go grocery shopping. MAJOR grocery shopping. We decided since we were OUT of everything we would go to Sam's. We never go there, because we usually never need 37 and 1/2 Tickle-Me-Pink Sharpie markers. Sam's sells everything in bulk, as I'm sure you know, and sometimes you just don't need THAT many tampons. But this time, we were out of toilet paper, to the point where we had to borrow some from friends. We were out of shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, and all things food-related. So, we decided that we might be able to save some money buying bulk at Sam's since we needed SO much. Well, boy did we do good!
At Sam's we got this:
36 rolls of toilet paper for 17 dollars
12 boxes of mac and cheese for 7 dollars
30 bags of popcorn (we have people over a lot) for 6 dollars
about 1 billion hot pockets for 12 dollars
two big boxes of Special K Red Berries for 7 dollars
10 cans of Chef-boyardee for 5 dollars
2 very large packs of sandwich meat for 6 dollars
1 huge shampoo and 1 huge conditioner for 5 dollars
a huge bag of frozen corn equal to about 12 cans of corn for 4 dollars
a huge bag of frozen green beans equal to about 10 cans green beans for 5 dollars
5 deodorants for 6 dollars
5 Colgate Total Advanced Clean With Whitening Toothpaste large tubes for 10 dollars
150 loads of Gain Fabric Softener (we didn't read it and thought it was detergent. oops!) for 9 dollars.
36 diet pepsi's for 9 dollars
2 loaves of bread for 3 dollars
2 huge bags of chips for 5 dollars
That is a crapload of food!!! I was so proud of how much we got for the money we paid. We would have spent that much or MORE at King Soopers but gotten maybe half the amount of food we did get! We were so stoked.
After Sam's we had to go the worst walmart in the history of America. Don't even get me started on how much I hate that place, but we had to get several things that aren't sold anywhere else. So...i felt so good after all the deals we got! I guess Heather rubbed off on me since she's always getting good deals like this or this or this. :) I guess it's my turn now.
Also...IT'S CATIE GRACE'S BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHERINE!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!
