ProLifers Going too far

I wont call my self a " Pro-Abortionest" but I definetly believe it's a choice with heavy consequenses and should not be taken lighty. It is after all, killing a living being.

I think the Pro-Lifers need to stop and remember their beliefs. After all most are pro-Life because of "God". Please correct me if I am wrong, but "God" did tell them they arent supposed to kill anybody, right?


RIP to George Tiller, who did nothing but help women who felt the need to make that hard choice.


Next time someone says " pro-life" maybe they need to stop and think about what their really does.

The halfway blog

Well its June.....AGAIN. I think we all get to this month and think, "Wow, where did the other half of the year go." I know I still feel like I am recovering from Christmas.

I was driving home today comparing June time 2008 to what June 2009 is going to be like. I know I as hiking everyday. Not doing that now.

I remember having total short timers syndrome because I knew I had the job at T-mobile and I was putting my notice in! Now I am at T-mobile and thinking it was a great move. I made back to back $600 bonuses for performance April and May. I was spending $600 a month in gas last
year!

I'm not alone in the apartment doing anything I feel like doing. Sometimes I still fell like I am adjusting to that and He's been here for almost 6 months. I have days when I miss the ability to be care free. I have a bed time now.

We will be adding a family member in 20 days, last year the only company I had were late nite friends and World of Warcraft. Oh and don't let me forget the Yahoo messenger.

The tank was alive, beautiful and growing. This year its sold off and parted out to people all over the Springs.

Oh and I guess the biggest change, I'm moving to a house. Its more than twice the size of the lunch box I live in and my son will be home full time. I get to be a real parent again. Talk about an adjustment.

Puppy Bets

Well last nite Skip and I decided we would make bets on how much the puppy was going to weigh this week. We always get a photo on Thursdays. He weighed 6lbs 8oz last week. Skip guessed he would weigh 7lbs 8 oz(that's one pound of growth BTW) and I guessed 7lbs 10 oz. WELL!!! Man were we wrong!!! He's weighing in at a WHOPPING 8lbs 7oz this week! That's a FULL 2 pounds! He's gonna be a monster. I just cant wait! I ordered my gift card from work today to buy our kennel. Next to the dog its the next single most expensive purchase. We have to buy the biggest damn kennel that make and it's gonna cost 160 bucks. BUT it has 3 doors and a divider so it can grow with him, or we can split it in half and put Aiden in the other side......LOL. Kidding......or am I?





Ok so here's our dude this week!! Enjoy the fluffiness.

Changes are coming

Well here we are, the 27th of May and HOLY CRAP!!! Where did the time go?

We got confirmation today that we will be getting the keys to the house on the 5th of June and its all ours!! That's only 10 days away. And then 15 days after that we are bringing the puppy home. Aiden is going to be with us full time again. I feel like I have been waiting forever to be a full time parent!

I give the notice for the apartment tomorrow. THANK GAWD! I cant take it here anymore!

I should have a new puppy photo in the next couple of days!!

New puppy update

Well we have a 4 week old puppy pic!! He's is weighing a WHOPPING 6lbs 6oz!! He's growing close to 2 pounds a week now. We have 3 names up for debate at the moment, Happy, Yoshi and Astro. I told Skip I would like to avoid the typical northern name trend that everyone seems to stick with.

Car Insurence

It's that time of the year again, my renewal. I was very excited because I thought FOR SURE my rates would go down. I mean I turned 25 and its been more then a year and a half since my speeding ticket.

WRONG. I was looking over my new policy and it turns out I will be paying 3 dollars more. This brings me to a grand total of $146 a month. Yea, I know you don't pay nearly that much. Well poopy face at you!!!

So I start shopping around for something CHEAPER. UGH. I don't think the word CHEAP is a real word anymore. I looked at AllState. They want 1,600 for 6 months. Statefarm.....about the same so.

I call Progressive and ask why my policy isn't going down. I turned 25, its been over a year since my ticket. My car is aging...oh and Ive been a customer for 5 YEARS!! WEEELLLLLL as it turns out, speeding tickets take 3 years to go away....ok that's fine. BUT thanks to our SHITTY fellow Colorado Drivers we had an INCREASE in rates for the State. I'm even getting a loyal customer discount!!!! WTF!!!

Next time I see an accident, I'm gonna flip them off for fucking up my rates.

The puppy verdict

Well we did go on Saturday to meet the puppies, way out in Yoder, Colorado. That's always a drive. Looks a lot like Kansas; cows and grass. I'm happy Skip can be so entertaining in the car.

We ended up picking boy number 4, the biggest of the bunch. We didn't pick him based on size, he came out and wagged his tail for 45 minutes! It didn't matter what we did with him that tail just kept wagging. He's pretty perfect. Not overly dominate and not shy at all. He will probably grow to weigh about 110-120 lbs. His dad is 120 and he is the biggest of the bunch. I'd say he's gonna be one hell of a guard dog!

Hopefully I will have more photos tomorrow. He will be 4 weeks old.

More puppy pics!!

Going Mobile

This past week a friend of mine purchased a salon. She does hair and has been really pushing at me to groom again. I must admit I very much miss doing it, but there is just no way I can go back to grooming for somebody again. I'm tired of losing my hard earned clients.

I also don't want to leave T-Mobile. I have GREAT benefits and I do enjoy what I do there.

I did some home grooming today and the thought really hit me, what if I just start grooming in homes? I did it as a student, and if I had a few things it really wouldn't be too hard to get that off and going.

And so it begins, I went home, got on craigslist and typed in "grooming table' The first add that popped up was a portable table with arm for $40!! I emailed and BAM! Its mine!! I then went for a search for an easier way to wash a dog in a bath tub. Using a cup is pretty hard. BAM!! I found a curly water hose that will connect to the shower!! I also found a clip on lamp for extra light. Its like in a matter of 3 hours everything started coming together.

I'm planning to have a small very part time business up and running my next month. I will next week to get my business name registered so no one can use it and I am off to a great start. I've wanted to do this for a long time now, I just couldn't find the will or want to do it.

My plan is to do one dog everyday after work, and work full time on Mondays. That's about 4-5 dogs. I figured if I have an average charge of $40 per dog I can bring in a little over $800 extra a month. How awesome is that!!

All I would need from the client is a bathtub with removable shower head, a place with light and a few outlets. I would also ask the owner to not "help" the groomer of coarse.

Smiles for all!!

Hey Guys!! Here are the 5 boys we get to pic from! They are already 2 weeks old now! Smile at the cuteness of it all!!!

Offical News

Well I would like to finally put a bit of an official blog out there about life stuff. I've been pretty much waiting to make it all "OFFICIAL".

We will be moving to a HOUSE in Fountain the first week of June! We got the approval today. We have been looking for a house for some time now and we finally had one pretty much fall into our laps just a few days ago. Its been hard to find one for a pretty big reason.

We are expecting to bring home our baby boy malamute by about the 27th of June. Finding a home that will take large breed puppies is hard.

My beautiful fish tank has been sold off piece for piece and I'm just waiting for a few last things to be picked up and we will be turning the tank into a terrarium once we are all settled. I decided to go for something that will require a little less of me. The puppy is going to take up enough time and the tank was already starting to suffer my lack of interest.

And most importantly, Aiden will be coming home full time. After 2 years of having him sometimes less than half the week.

Be prepared for more blogs, life is about to take an interesting turn for me.

Here is a picture of our puppy's Mommy, Godiva.

This is gonna come off bad, but I don't care!

I am not going to take the time to get numbers and statistics for this blog, but I KNOW if you absolutely need them the Internet can provide you with all the information you need. And you know it's always right.

I will start by saying that I haven't always been the kind of person that didn't want to help anybody. I always thought everyone should be given the same rights as we have here in America. However as I have become a wiser adult(or so I think I have) my views have changed quite dramatically. I bring this all up because Skip and I have been watching every documentary NetFlix Instant Play has to offer!!

We started watching one last night about two 9/11 widows. I give them kudos for finding each other and helping to over come grief. I cannot imagine what they have been thru nor do I ever want to have to. My issue with these women is this: They want to send money(AMERICAN MONEY) to the widows of Afghanistan. Now the widows of Afghanistan aren't just widows of THIS "WAR" mind you. These people have been dealing with this problem for MANY MANY years and its simply ingrained in their culture. It's their way of life.

I have a HUGE problem with America trying to change the culture of other peoples. I don't think we have the right to go in there and force a change, which is all we try to do anyways. It never works anyways. My opinion is this, If they wanted change that badly, they would strand up and have it. We as Americans did that and got our own country doing so.

WE have enough starving/malnourished children in THIS country. WE have enough war widows in THIS country they can reach out to. I just hate hearing about AMERICAN DOLLARS going to help other countries when we can't even help our own.

Call me insensitive, but until we can successfully care for EVERYONE here I don't want to see a single cent of any AMERICAN DOLLAR used on anyone but an American. PERIOD!
