I met him 18 years ago. I liked him the minute i set my eyes on his face. In fact, I felt these strong feelings of love for him. Crazy huh, having just met him and all.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I thought he was the most gorgeous thing i had ever seen. He didn't have a lot of hair but had the most beautiful blue eyes. When I first saw him I was pretty tired but when I heard his beautiful voice this surge of energy came over me and I knew I just had to have him around me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Over the next few years we spent a lot of time together and really got to know each other better. Sometimes he would do things that wore me out but mostly he made me laugh. He had this energy that just wouldn't quit. I loved him dearly and I looked forward to the little breaks that we would have from each other, but I was always anxious to get back to him. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As time went on I grew to love him even more. I loved watching him try new things. He had this desire to try it all. My pride grew with every new sport he tried or every new musical instrument he got his hands on. He could do it all and he could do it well. Not only did I love him but I thought he was pretty darn cool. He could make me laugh like no other. There were times this man would make me cry and I would worry about him on occassion as well. I think it's just because I loved him so and wanted the best for him. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Pretty soon this awesome guy will leave me for a bit. It's okay. I knew this day would come. He's on to bigger and better things. I want this for him. I have loved every minute of this past 18 years and I wouldn't change a thing. I won't even mind if he finds some other girl that he want's to hang around with more then me. </span><br />

</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Awkward</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Driving through the drive through and ordering a chocolate shake for the hubby and when the voice over the speaker comes back and asks "would you like whip cream on that?" all I can "hear" is "sour cream". We then go back and forth for like 10 seconds about wether or not I would like sour cream on my shake...all the while my daughter is busting up and rolling her eyes as I have yet another granny moment.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Driving my little one to school, waiting in the drive-thru drop off, waving to people and realizing when I get back home that my hair is sticking up like a crazy woman.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Having a crazy sharp edge on my big toe nail that keeps catching on the sheets but being too tired to get up and clip it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- waving back to someone who's not waving to you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Getting another letter in the mail from the school about your son's tardiness. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- falling back to sleep after you send all the kids off to school and waking up just in time to pick them up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Awesome</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- The trash being taken out without you having to ask someone to do it. (rare people..really rare)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Friends who call you to share some of their good news.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Realizing it's Friday when you thought it was Thursday all day.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Buying a new pair of jeans with just the right amount of stretch in them.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">- Falling back to sleep after you send all the kids off to school and waking up just in time to pick them up. :)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Getting to the step class at the gym late and having to go to the only empty spot in the room. Right smack dab up front. Don't mind me as I carry my step and riser thingys and set it all up in front of you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- deciding halfway through the step class that you shouldn't have gotten the riser thingys.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Only one tube of chapstick in the whole house. (not really awkward...just awful)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Seeing someone driving the same car you own and thinking for a split second that someone has stolen your car. While.you're.driving.your.car.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Calling the wrong number. 3 times in a row. Sorry lady. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Awesome:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- When dinner is made and all but the dishes on the table are cleaned up and you're just waiting for everyone to get home to enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Getting a new nail polish and discovering that it exactly matches the new shoes you bought. I must love this color.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- extra cheese</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Knowing you don't have to leave the house all day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">- Clean socks. Already put away in your sock drawer.</span>Wendy Fergusonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15037939186330010706noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703385198749367557.post-83474416285052112532011-03-02T13:31:00.000-08:002011-03-02T13:31:46.629-08:00Guest blogger time!Ladies and Gentlemen, (well...ladies) let me introduce my daughter Jordan.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now, it's time for the Step class.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just our luck. It has already started. The room is full of people and they all know what to do. Mother and I walk over to the corner and grab our steps and the (pardon my un-technical term) thingys to make the step thing higher. We then look to see where to go. Of course there is no room in the back. This is when I hear:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(insert your best Latin accent) "LADIES, LADIES. you can go anywhere. Come up here to the front." The instructor very loudly motions us to the front of the room. Let me explain this instructor. He is a latin man, probably in his mid forties. He has a microphone headset. (Britney Spears style)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and he sorta looks like this.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

The moves were all latin related. The people know: I have no rhythm. I just dont. There is a reason that I have been successful in avoiding the Zumba phase for so long. It is because i know i will look a fool if it is attempted.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, lemme tell ya. I couldn't keep up. Cha Cha? yeah. not a chance. I can barely cha cha normally peeps. add a step in front of me and it is just beggin for problems.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">well bless his little heart but my instructor found me to be his little project.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He would move his step right in front of mine to try and help. and at one point we were sharing a step so that i could follow his moves. This was in a full room of people. ayeee</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(Insert accent again): "5, 6, 7, 8 Lift your knee.. Yes or No?"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Basic step. Yes or No?"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the man had a very sing-song sort of way of talking. add an accent and bam. I wish i could include audio. After almost every time he said something he would say, "Yes or No?"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ayyeee.. Well here comes the sad part.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Because of my only one piece of bread in my tummy, I started to get a little dizzy. My eyes started to black out and I knew it was cuz i was workin so hard and hadnt eaten.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, I said goodbye to momma and left that place.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The step is probably still sittin there.. sad and lonely. Wishin that its owner had more rhythm and a little more sugar in their blood. maybe i will go back to visit my step.. "Yes or No?"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Where have I been you ask?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me answer that question with a little ditty. Once there was a girl. This girl had a beautiful family and liked to take pictures of them. Over the years she collected many, many photos. These photos ended up in a big box. We're talking big box. Often the girl would attempt to "scrap book" said photos. She would sit there with other ladies chatting and "scrap booking" for a couple hours and end up with one page done. Who has that kind of time and patience? This lovely girl decided that each page didn't need to be embellished with stickers and cut outs and such. She would let the pictures speak for themselves. She decided to buy some nice leather photo albums. 10 in fact. She would just slide the photos inside the waiting slots. But...first she would have to organize the pictures that she had taken over the years in chronological order. Sigh.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been around. I've done stuff. I've had a good time. But I'm going to resist back tracking and just start anew. I've got that big box to worry about and stuff. That's enough for me.</span>Wendy Fergusonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15037939186330010706noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703385198749367557.post-21180110846900696982010-02-10T21:23:00.000-08:002010-02-10T21:38:14.030-08:00Made with love and suckers!<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">It all started with the "cleaning out" of the pantry. I oh so innocently went to grab my store bought bread crumbs and couldn't find the darn things. Look, I'm all for making my own but...why? I knew I had them. I looked on every shelf, behind every half open bag of chocolate chips and outdated bottle of dressing. Something had to be done. Darn it. I was gonna have to take every last item out and clean and then...put...everything.....back. Ick. </span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Let me add that I just realized that a girl's pantry is pretty personal. You can tell a lot about of family by their food stuffs. Take for instance my pantry. Someone might be trying to drop a few pounds by the look of all the slimfast products. You might notice that we enjoy cuddling up by a fire with all the hot cocoa around. The canned items might suggest that convenience is important to me. All the cereal might tell you there are kids in the vicinity. Hmmm.....interesting no?</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also don't think it's kind to make fun of that poor old man. So he snores a little. Maybe he has a cold and because it's raining he can't get to the store to purchase the needed medications. Maybe he doesn't have any breathe right strips. He's old. Maybe he got his licensed revoked because of his age and he needs one of his adult kids to come and drive him to rite aid and they are just too busy with their own lives to care. I mean he went to bed and bumped his head. I don't want to even think about why he couldn't get up in the morning. Let's just pretend that his alarm clock didn't go off. </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The girls and I were getting a little stir crazy and needed something to do. Perhaps something to make.

We have a dining room table. If we actually eat in the dining room we have to lug 2 more chairs in there so we can all fit around the table. ugh! This room does not inspire me. I don't sit in there and glory in my surroundings. We don't often eat in the dining room.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">That is until now!</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I decided that waiting around for a new table and chairs was not the route I wanted to go anymore. I'm aging here people....I got dinners to make and people to feed. I would take this matter into my own hands and re-do what I already had.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Painting the chairs was the hardest part. All those legs and rounded edges. After letting the first coat dry, I actually went back 2 more times and touched up all the areas I missed. It's amazing what one can miss. I think those glorious paint fumes were starting to get to me.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">After all the painting was done I roughed up the edges with my trusty medium grade block sander.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I then applied an oil based polyurethane to the top of the table only. More delicious fumes for my brain.</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Has there ever been a skill you wished to acquire?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">On Wednesday of last week I was driving my 6 year old home from school. As we talked about the days events, she shared with me that she wished she could jump rope. She told me how at recess her friends would often choose this activity and she would just have to sit there and watch because she couldn't do it. (insert sad face here)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I hated this. I hated that she so wanted to be part of the fun but that she had to feel "less than" because she wasn't able to do something that her friends had already mastered.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I told her that we would go buy her a new jump rope and practice until she could do it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The next day after school we drove on down to the nearest Big 5. No kiddie jump rope was good enough for my athlete. She would have the best "real" jump rope we could find. The best turned out to be a $4.99 beauty with black handles.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I noticed that as she walked out of the store with her package, her shoulders were a little further back and I swear she was holding her head a little higher.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I could tell that she could see victory in her future.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We got home and she immediately took the jump rope out of it's packaging.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I watched her struggle to grasp the concept of jumping and turning the rope at the same time. Would she be able to do it? Would my daughter be shunned from all the playgrounds in her future because of her lack of jump ropedness? I admit.....in the beginning....things didn't look too promising.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I tried to give her the fundamentals. I huffed as I demonstrated my skills at jumping over the rope....again....and again....and again...and again...and again... and enough!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A call to my 12 year old son to take over the jumping enabled me to explain how it should be done. One shouldn't really be jumping AND talking anyway...right?....right?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was so fun to watch her practice over the next 3 days. And watch her we all did.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Can I just say that I am so proud of that little girl. She was determined to do it...and guess what?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">She did!</span></span><br />
