Getting back to Serenity

So after a stressful week everything is getting back to normal. I spent my days off Sunday with Rachael having dinner and getting Pedicures and today watching TV, playing a little Star Wars Lego WII, and Weeding. Every time I weed something there is more to weed. I figure people grow grass and alfalfa for animals I grow weeds for my goats. They love the weeds. So I am harvesting Weeds this summer. Things are feeling so much nicer, and I am happy for the first time in a week. Rachael is doing soo good, and I went to church for the first time on Sunday. It was nice. I think I need some God in my life. Also my sister found out she is pregnant. So exciting. I am going to be going back to Seattle a lot it seems the next few years.. With one of my best buddies Shauna having a baby in September, my sister in Feb next year, and visting my other family it will be nice. Anyway enjoy the video. I took tonight after a hour of hard weed pulling. Seemed Sureal outside and I thought a video would be nice :)

Home Sweet Home

So I got home last night and have been busy like crazy. It was a long 7 hour drive home in which I have pretty much gotten my fix of my XM Radio's 20 on 20 station. I unpacked about half of the UHaul and the other half this morning. One of my best friends Robin comes in tonight and I will help her bring stuff in. Right now it is just all leaning against the house. I got my Moms awesome expensive king bed, and 2 dressers. My bedroom is going to so nice and organized! So I am on here now procrastinating as I should be moving stuff from my old bedroom into my 2nd bedroom but I am trying to cool down as I just got done unloading 20 bales of hay.

This weekend lots of fun planned. Gonna hit up a local bar in Los Lunas tonight and then ride tomorrow and then tomorrow night is my 40th birthday party at Grahams in ALBQ. I hope lots of people show up! Sunday Robin and I will ride the Rio Bravo river on Beauty and Cowboy and then Robin leaves 9pm Sunday night. I was hoping to have Monday off to unpack and organize but we are having a work team builder so that is OT to go to lunch and go to some game center.

Well off to continue to unpack and move furniture around.. It would sure be nice if I had a roommate or boyfriend to help me with all this labor :)

What being 40 means to me

So today is June 18th and I have been 40 one day. I woke up to a sore back and wanting to do nothing but eat. I have been eating so much bad stuff since I got in Phoenix to help my mom move. I have only gotten on my Wii one time and haven't even done any of my sit-ups. I think Phoenix harbors bad habits and I am excited to get back to my little ranch as farm living works for me. I miss my horses, my dogs, cats and birds. My neighbor told me yesterday ( who is watching my house ) that my bird is flying north. Kaylan bit him really bad last time and he makes that joke a lot now when he watching my ranch. Kaylan is a vicious bird I don't know why I have him ( The Congo African Grey ). No one would ever love him like I do even though when I let him out of his cage his one purpose is to fly off the cage and find me and bite me. I have had him 11 years and will never sell him. When I got him I realized he will probably outlive me but he is my responsibility for the life I have left on earth. That is the mentality I have for all my animals. The horses I might sell one of them, but only to a good home once they are fully rehabilitated

So anyways being 40 means to be continue to loose weight and take good care of myself. To enjoy life and maybe soon I will get on match or Eharmony as living alone is no fun and getting a tad boring and lonely. . To continue to get out of debt and live life to its fullness. Be happy and project happiness. Stop slouching as I am doing so horribly this morning I feel 80.. I leave tommorrow back to Los Lunas with a new bed, lots of cute stuff and pictures. Back to where I believe I belong, back to my new home and new life.. I have entered a new era of my life, the 40's and I think I am really..

Busy June

So I haven't posted much as this has been a busy month so far with work and life. Trying to stay active at the gym , even though the scale hasn't moved I am still getting smaller. If I just cut out all the stupid junk I eat, I will be ok. Yesterday was a nice healthy day of eating, I will work day by day. I leave for Phoenix on Saturday to help my mom pack up her house and move. I will get a lot of cool stuff from that house. Lots of art and other awesome stuff. Lots of stuff my dad picked out and loved. I am excited even though it will be really hot. I know her last air bill will be high! She sold her house though which in this market is great. And made a little profit.

I am sad for her selling her house. Part of me wishes I would have stayed in Phoenix as I know she loved it there. I could have stayed there and lived in that beautiful house and that would have been fine. She wanted to be back in Washington though with my brother and sister and my nephew Jack. She promises to come visit a lot here but I think its really boring for her. If I didn't move I wouldn't have found my ranch in NM and saved the horses and dogs I have saved from death via slaughterhouse or pound. Too many memories of my dad there though and it will be hard packing up the house being that Sunday is Fathers Day. Life moves on though, and I know I made the right decision to move here. I will really only miss my Best Buddy Robin, other friends are just friends.

I will be in AZ for a week so probably won't post anything. Next weekend is my birthday weekend though and I am having a party at Grahams in Albuquerque, June 21st. Anyone local please come :) Should have lots new pictures to add as that weekend I am planning to get lots of riding and social events in.

Above is a picture of my mom's back yard in her Phoenix Home- So nice but time to move on. I love you Dad. Happy Fathers Day
