Happy New Year!!!

I truly hope everyone had wonderful holidays.  I know I did.  I had the week of Christmas and New Years Eve off and it was so nice and relaxing.  But now it's back to work and the start of a new year.  This year promises to be a great one.  We are finally going to Hawaii as a family in July and then in September S. will begin his Senior year of hs.  How that is possible I don't even know.  He did get his dl in December so that was a big deal.  D. & I no longer have to take him & pick him up from school and that is a huge weight lifted.  He's SUPER responsible and cautious so I have no worries about the driving himself to school.  He hasn't really driven himself much further than that so we will see how that works out. =)  Anyway, I hope to blog a little more this year than last that is if anyone is even reading.  =) 

My Heart Hurts

It has taken me days to fully absorb (and I still can't get my head around) the devastation that took place in Conneticut. How do you go on when you send your little 6 or 7 year old to school on a regular day and end up identifying a body later that same day? I can't even begin to imagine the pain and agony that these families are going through. I pray every day for the families that they can somehow find the strength to go on. I pray everyday that our legislators find a way to make sure this never happens again. And most of all I pray that anyone that is considering doing this please take your own life but not that of anymore innocent people.

Thank you DISH

I...AM....SO...HAPPY!!!! DISH must've read my blog (or the 100 emaiils I sent) and brought back AMC to me (and only a week after "The Walking Dead" premiered). I missed only 1 episode and they replayed it on Sunday before the next new episode aired so I'm all caught up.  And boy is it good.  The creators listened to everyone who complained that there weren't enough zombies and zombie killin' last season.  They more than made up for it in just the first two episodes of this season.  LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!  I (heart) DISH. =^)

AMC

Please, oh please come back to me AMC.  I am in need of The Walking Dead when it starts again in a week or so.  And STOP those damn taunting commercials that say that everyone is going to see The Walking Dead EXCEPT for DISH subscribers. Look, I am locked into a 2 year contract and while I love TWD, I am NOT paying to get out of my contract so I can switch to a provided that offers AMC. So just settle whatever beef you have with DISH and GIVE.....ME.....MY.....WALKING......DEAD or I may have to go all apocolypic zombie on your ass.

Love,
Kelly

Our Little Girl is a Middle Schooler Now

What an emotional time.  Friday, was J's 5th Grade Culmination Ceremony.  It was so adorable.  They sang, they danced, J got a perfect attendance award and it was just wonderful.  I cried a little.  I mean this is my baby finishing elementary school. =D To celebrate we went with her best friend and her family to Bubba Gump's at the Santa Monica Pier. We had a big surprise for the girls.  We bought them Justin Bieber concert tix for his concert that is coming up in October.  They were so excited and J had tears.  Below is an adorable pic of our big girl.

2012 Stanley Cup Champions - THE LOS ANGELES KINGS

OMG!!!!  How exciting is this?  45 years coming....the last time the Kings were in the Stanley Cup Finals was 1993 (the year D & I got married) and they got swept in 4.  What a Cinderella story. They were 8th seed going into the play-offs and they won the whole damn thing.  Congrats to everyone!!!

A Cheerleader in the Making?

Well, not exactly but she does want to wear it for Halloween. =D. How crazy is it that I was a SENIOR in hs when I wore this & it fits her. Granted, it was MUCH shorter on me & I filled the sweater out a little better but still. :)
