Most everything is good--have a great day!!

A Lot of Years

2009-02-04T13:21:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to let you all know that yesterday Feb. 3, 2009 Dad and I have know each other for 41 years. WOW that is a long time. He is still that cute boy I waved to at the Hi Spot in Springville, 41 years ago--at least to me!! We have had a lot of good years! Wow we were young back then--16 yrs. old.

HI

2009-02-02T15:18:00.001-08:00

OK I know most of you are on face book now, so you probably don't very often update your blogs, but since I am not up to date with the newest technology (face book) I am still blogging. Hey it took me a couple of years to learn how do blog.
I am sure you all know I had my gallbladder out--it wasn't bad since I was out and don't remember a thing. I really didn't have much pain till about 2 days later then I was on drugs for a couple of days which was helpful. The worst though is that I can not seem to get my energy back. It has been 3 weeks and I guess I think I should have enough energy to run a marathon--like I would really do that I am to old fat and lazy. I did go to the doctors last week and he said that it can actually take 2 or 3 months to get your energy level back to were is was before surgery, so I have to be patient. I am pretty sure Dan is sick of seeing me lying in bed, or on the couch staring at the TV. Although I would recomend having surgery in the winter like I did if anyone has to have it because then you don't have to go out in the cold and snow. And then you will feel better by the time the weather gets warm so you can go out a play and have fun.
I just want to say that I do have a wonderful husband. He has been so helpful and patient throughtout this whole ordeal. He has been good to cook or go get us something to eat. He watched over me and got things for me whenever I needed anything. I love him dearly!
I guess that is it for now. Keep on blogging!!

Happy New Year!!!
We had a great one with the family and food and drink and banging pans and screaming at midnight--lots of fun.
Dan and I finished watching all the epsiodes of the office all 4 seasons. That show just makes me laugh--it is probably because I work with people that are just like some of the ones on the show.
Well have a wonderful wintery day!!

I just wanted to say that Dan and I had a great Christmas holiday. We had lots of fun when all the kids and grandkids came to our family party. We even had fun (sort of) when we tried to go visit T&K and family, J&B and family on Christmas day and had to turn around because the snow was so bad and the roads were way scary for us old people. We did have a nice visit with M,S&D that day and was able to visit the other kids on Fri. We had 5 days off from work--which having time off work if the best Christmas present--we relaxed, enjoyed the family and each other, went to a show, ate ourselves sick, and decided to have an "Office" watching fest--which we are still trying to do. We have watched all the 1st, 2nd and most of 3rd seasons. I love that show!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

My son's commercial

2008-11-17T13:24:00.001-08:00

For anyone who may read my blog I just wanted to let you know my oldest son Tracey made a Doritto commerical and submitted it in a contest. If it is chosen he will win big money and it will air during the Superbowl. If any of you want to see the commercial go to www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/gallery/video/971/
everytime you go into to watch it--he gets more attention and if he gets enough people looking at it he will be in the final 5. Then if he makes it to the final 5 there will be a website you can go in and vote. So if you have time watch his video 100 millions times (ha ha) and then I will let you know if he makes it into the final 5 where you can vote for him. It should be sometime in the first of Jan. He is a great kid and has a lot of talent as a vidophotograhper! Also pass this on to as many people as you know and see if they are willing to help!
Thanks to all
Karen Lee.

I must say even if it seems like I am being rude, this past almost a month since Karla was layed off has been the best times at work for the past 4 years that she worked here. The tension in the office is gone. I have had 3 different people ask me if I see how different the office seems without her--well of course I can. We just all seem to get along better--even the rat is being nicer to everyone. It is amlost pleasant to come to work I mean after all work is work! but it has been such a relief to me--I do not totally dread coming in each day any more. Funny how one person can change everyone else either for good or bad. I will probably go to hell for saying it but "Ding Dong the Witch is gone" and I am glad about it!!!
Happy Happy Joy Joy

Well our trip to Yellowstone with T&K and their kids was way fun. It was nice and warm so we actually had great weather when we were there. We only had to wear jackets even though there was a bit of snow here and there it was wonderful. We saw lots of Elk and Buffalo that is always a cool thing. The kids loved the geysers. We got to Old Faithful at a perfect time, we only had to wait about 10min. before it went off. We had lots of fun just being with Tracey and his family. We had fun trading kids between cars and enjoyed watching them get excited about Yellowstone. It is one of my favorite vacation spots!

Yellowstone

2008-10-15T14:41:00.000-07:00

Horrah today is my Fri because I have tomorrow and the real Fri. off this week so we can go to Yellowstone where we will probably freeze our butts off, but that is OK because my butt could use some reduction. I have a head cold, so if I go to Yellowstone and come back in a pine box I have already promised Michelle my pig collection. The rest of you can fight over my wonderful wardrobe and my wealth of money. Love to all

2008-10-02T15:21:00.000-07:00

Well today at work we had another power outage that lasted almost 1 hour, but we do no know what caused it this time, but there was no cool fire to watch. I kind of like it when the power goes off--no phone calls, but it did get kind of warm and stuffy in our office--so I guess I would rather have power. What did the pioneers ever do without power?

2008-09-25T13:57:00.000-07:00

Dad and I went on a 2 days mini vacation. We drove on the new Legacy Highway which is really nice and smooth--all roads should be so smooth, then drove up Ogden canyon to Bear Lake. Wow the lake was the most beautiful blue I have ever seen. The mountains were georgous with the changing of the leaves. I love the Fall and love to see the colored leaves. It continues to amaze me how beautiful and breath taking God's creation are. We then went into Logan. We ate at El Sol's which is the dad of Su Casa. We then went to our hotel which was the Provdience Inn and old church they have turned into a reception center/bed and breakfast place. It was pretty cool and no I did not think it was haunted. We went to the temple with a couple from our ward that was getting sealed--it was beautiful. I thought it was nice of them to be sealed on my birthday--actually it was the day they had been married 2 years ago. It was a great experience and I was happy they invited dad and I. We then went and changed our clothes and went to a movie. Ghost Town. It was pretty fun! Then back to our room and went to bed.
Yesterday we had breakfast brought to us and ate it in our room--that was pretty cool--I could get real spoiled and fast if I had the money to go places like that a lot. After we checked out, we drove to The Golden Spike National Monument. They have 2 beautiful old Locomotive engines there that they keep in tip top condition. They were way shinny. After that we drove home stoping to get something to eat. We had a great time. I appreciate the times when dad and I can be together and just realax and have fun.

I just wanted to tell Kristy, Michelle, Jana and Maddison that I am ever so proud of each one of you for the wonderful talents you have. It made my heart happy that you all did so well in the scrapbooking at the fair. I love seeing your creations and wish I had some of that talent, but you know me and artistic things. Michelle your cross stich was gorgeous so be proud of that talent too you do a super job. I wish I had the patience for that! Keep up the good work my darling girls. LOL--lots of love!!

Dad and I had a fun day yesterday--right! Dad went to the Huntsman center for his 2nd Halo procudure on his throat--that is where they laser out all the sores and bad tissue in his throat. It is not fun for him for a few days after because he has such a bad sore throat and can hardly swallow anything. But in a few days he will feel better.
Well the reason we had so much fun--not-- was because we were there from 1:30 till about 5:45. We should have only been there a couple of hours. When we got there one of the nurses said the patient before dad had not shown up yet, so he might get to go in early. That was good news and least for that moment in time. We waited and waited and waited, finally the nurse came in and said the other person showed up--about 1 hour late and they took them instead of dad first. It really ticked me off because we had to be inconvienced for someone that was not considerate enough to get to their appointment on time. It put the doctor behind even further and all we could do is wait.
I wanted to give everyone the smack down and poor dad was stressed and tired and just wanted the procudure to get over with. Well finally another nurse--we will call her nurse Eore because she moved and talked slow like Eore--came and got dad. Later he told me that the doctor was coming down the hall the other way and was mad and chewed nurse Eore out for not getting dad in there sooner--we are way behind--she said tell me about it, I am the night nurse.
We did survive, but my butt and back are still sore today for having to wait so long.
Dad is on the road to recovery and has to repeat the procedure again in about 10 wks. I just hope we don't have to have another marathon wait. I think I will take my PJ's and a sleeping bag next time just in case.
Today Hope the girl that use to work here came in today. She is the one whose baby died only 1 hour after he was born in June. She had made a book of pictures of her and her family holding the baby. It was so sad there were also pictures of the graveside cermony. It just broke my heart and I realized how thankful I am to have my children and granchildren. Nothing in this world is more important or precious than your children and grandchildren and g.g.c. etc.
Not all the money, not all the fame, not all the power, not all the beauty, not all the worldly things Nothing is more important than family. We should treasure each other every day because we never know when it will be our time to return home to our Father in Heaven.
I love you all!!!!!

Exciting

2008-08-28T13:25:00.000-07:00

So this morning at work, our lights flickered about 4 times and the power went off. What the? Then Jodie said look there is something burning. I looked out the door and about 1/2 mile from my work I could see a huge black cloud of smoke billowing into the air. Then I could see flames.
Then most of us gathered outside or at windows. we say fire engines go by and ambulances. I counted 7 fire eingines and 4 ambulances and also a Hazmat team. There is a metal recycling plant that their yard of pallets and junk caught on fire. The cops closed of the road just across from our terminal so no one could get to where the fire was. It burned about 1 hour before they were able to put the flames out. It knocked off our power and phones for about 2 hours, which was kind of freaky because it was so quiet in the office--well as quiet as it can get with all of us chattering about the fire. I heard on the news that no one had gotten hurt, so that was good. It sure made an exciting morning for us because it was something "enteraining" something different from typing typing typing and answering phones. It was kind of cool to be able to see the flames and smoke going up up into the beautiful blue sky. OK maybe I am a bit of a piromaniac(or how ever it is spelled)--fire bug-- but not really!

Good News

2008-08-20T12:47:00.000-07:00

good news at least for me. the surgeon determined that although I do have gall stones, the attack I had a couple of weeks ago was not from my gall bladder but my stomach. Joy, I have major stomach problems instead of gall bladder problems. How lucky can I be. So I guess for all of you that were sure I would have surgery and die on the operating table, sorry you will have to wait longer for my millions--my millions of dollars in debt that is!

2008-08-13T15:02:00.000-07:00

I was just thinking about our family and when Dave and Maricanne were here and I
just wanted to say how happy I am that we had time together as a family. Family truly
is most important of all the gifts God can give to a person and I am so thankful he gave me
all of you. You keep me smiling!!!

2008-08-06T14:23:00.000-07:00

OK I am just typing this, just because now I can

Have a great day everyone!
