Hello World--Im Baaaaccckk!!!

I know you've missed me!! All of my 3 readers are having withdrawls so I figured I would end your misery and come back :) you can thank me later. Preferably in monetary ways lol Just kidding just kidding (but I'm serious, I need money people)
Ok, so where have I been?? I'm sure you're wondering...
I won an all expense paid trip around the world and I couldn't pass it up so I packed my bags in less than 5 minutes and headed out to see the world. It started with a cruise to Cancun... It was nice but way over populated and waay to Americanized (not a word, I don't care its my blog) so I quickly hopped on a plan and headed to New Zealand... Ive been dying to lay on what is apparently the most romantic beach in the world. The black sand beach wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Maybe you need someone with you to completely understand the "sexiness" of the beach... Hmmmm note to self: find someone to lay on beach with me and slather me with oil and feed me grapes.
Anyways... I stayed on the beach for a couple days and then decided I wanted to see Ireland. So... that's where I went. Met an incredible Irishman who turned out to be a drunk and tried to talk me into allowing his goat to sleep in the bed with us. After about an hour of arguing with him about how good of a snuggler a goat REALLY can be, I decided that this little Irish/goat-man romance wasn't going anywhere.
So, after a year of traveling the world, turning down snuggling goats, eatting amazing food, screwing up several languages I wanted to come back home. Back to overweight, ungrateful, cell phone using, chain smoking, polluted air AMERICA!!!
So... did ya'll really believe any of that?? I hope you did, at least for a split second ;) No, really I've been going through a pretty brutal divorce. Sorry to ruin it for you guys... Rest assured my life has been just as interesting as the traveling around the world story but not nearly as glamorous! In the last year I have experianced a lifetimes worth of heartache. Ive found myself alone again. But its getting better. I really truly am making the best of it all.
Things Ive learned over the past year:
1) I CAN NOT kill a bug... Ive always depended on a man. I cant stand that horrible crunching noise
2) I physically miss art... never knew what a connection and longing Ive had to do something, ANYTHING creative. I need it... my soul needs to create (thats why Im blogging again)
3) I can now patch a tire if I had to... thanks to my dads never ending lectures about how a woman should be just as capable as a man blah blah blah
4) I want to mow grass!! Ive never done it. How sad is that!?
5) Material things mean nothing to me.... Ive had and Ive done without... Im a happy person either way
6) I WANT TO GO SHOPPING DAMNIT!!! Yes, disregard #5 Im a girl and I miss shopping.
*******And Last but most important*******
7) Life wouldnt matter without Luke & Larry Hayden

Stay tuned because I will be updating fairly regularly keeping all of you loyal folks up to date on my crazy beautiful life.
Remind me to tell you about Brett ;) He's pretty much my favorite. But that's a whole other blog for a whole other day.

Technology Shmecnology!

Alright so Ive had this dang laptop now for about a wk and It feels like Ive missed out on 10 yrs of technology. So, its taken some time to get used to. But in the last wk, I now have an updated Myspace page, A weird facebook page that I cant figure out, this new blog and Apparently I have a webcam cause I am now a member of the "skype-ing" community *GASP*

Ive always been someone who stays to myself or in my little circle. So Its beyond me why I now have 17 ways for people to communicate with me and track my every waking move! Its actually a little creepy! Ive used google more in the last couple days than I ever have in my life... Trying to figure out things like 1."Where do I find Myspace 2.0 layouts" Or 2."how do I remove my firewall so I can log on" and the all important 3." What is Dale's alias (from King of the Hill)" -- Me and my dad were stumped last night. For all of you who dont know the answers:

1. any kind of layout page like pimp-my-profile

2. Under control panal in the advanced setting tab

3. Rusty Shackleford

So...If anyone EVER has the smallest thought or question as to what Im doing at some random point in the middle of the day please just go to google and type in :WEBPAGE FOR THE GIRL WHO KNOWS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ABOUT THE INTERNET.

and Im sure it will bring you to my facebook, myspace, my blog and maybe even my skype acct so you can actually tune in live to me pulling my hair out.

Im a newbie, be gentle

Well, hello to all of you who care to read my little bloggy-poo!!!

Today is Sunday, the 19th I think (you lose track when your at home everyday) and it looks like its not raining outside today, YIPPIE SKIPPIE!!!! Being indoors with a 6 yr old and a 2 yr during a 2-day rainstorm is like being at a stripclub when the lights come on.. it turns ugly REAL QUICK!!



I had lots of pics I wanted to post on here so all of ya'll could see my amazing family but I dont have any "new" pics in this computer seeing as how I just got it yesterday. I have some Easter pics that are actually PICTURES... in the flesh pics you hold in your hand. So, I tried the only technique I know to get the pics in my computer... those consisted of holding the pictures to my laptop and screaming out "I want you in my computer... GET IN MY COMPUTER NOW!!!!" and since that didnt work for some reason, I just took a picture of a picture. Smart thinking, I know!! I am muy intelligente :)

So, Im guessing you can tell which pic is the one that was in my computer :)

Well, its noon and Larry and Larry Hayden are finally waking up... we had a long night. Larry Hayden woke up at 6:30 to get in bed with us like he usually does but on his way to our bdrm he stepped in dog poopie!!! Charlie our new shih tzu pup has not learned how to use the toilet yet. So instead of crawling in bed with us he stood on the edge of the bed saying something to the effect of "I got poopoo on my poot(thats how he says foot)" so we had to bath him at 6:30 and scrub poop outta the carpet. Dontcha just love kiddos and puppies!!! I dont want anything else in my house that eats and poops!!
Hope ya'll have a scooby-dooby-doo kinda day!!!!
Thanks for tolerating my 1st post!!!

Peace love and coffee
