you're right jimmy

since opening a door to kyle freeing him to talk to me, he has opened up a lot    you were right jimmy   i did more than i had realized   but i'm happy he has a place to unload...i also learned, or relearned, a little more of the hypocrits some of my family are    i want a divorce from them dammit....anyways, i'm beginning to see some similarities between my nephew and me   some things, or people, like my family have never changed   not even since i left 25+ yrs ago   o well,  Happy i'm in New Mexico and they're back in the midwest   God bless them all anyways   maybe one day they'll learn...then again, maybe not......

everyone in j-land have a great Labor Day weekend....cya soon!

the secret

good mornin everyone    i'm draggin my feet about getting to work, so i thought i'd post the news regarding Kyle & Nicole   i was reluctant to post it initially wanting to wait a couple more months, but i'm excited and must tell someone   so j-landers i'm revealing it to you.....they made another baby already   they're pregnant   about a month & a half to 2 months along (according to Nicole)   Nicole thinks she knows the gender of the child already, but i thought the baby had to be developed further along for this   i don't know?   i bought them a book at a yard sale on saturday regarding what to expect when expecting   THINK I need to read it ...anyways,   that's the news   i hope all works out for them this time .....

Bad Boys II

we interrupt this movie for some football....we were watchin this movie tonight when Kyle comes in with the football sayin we're goin to stop the movie and go out and play some football   i say 'OK'......     'really?.....'yes' ......'Cool' was his reply ...so we went out under the street light and played ....finished the movie with great laughs too.....

what a way to top the day......

nite all....

 

i'm back...

it's now 7:15pm and i just got home   kyle is back picking up andre, tjnya's son from work then he'll be home    well ...it has been a long day    a good day, but long   i've been gone practically all day since making the previous journal entry   i decided to attend the 9 o'clock service   glad i did   Rev Jennie gave the service as a guest speaker and it was definitely something i needed to hear..so God has a plan for each of us   i wonder what it is for me   i suppose i'll know in time....anyways, while at church i learned i can only take one class at a time  which i had been thinkin of doing anyways   it's just Rev Patrick said i could take 2 and he wrote the policy stating otherwise   i guess he's forgotten   o well   one is all i really need at the moment.................so, after church i come home pick up my kids, kyle and jasmine   we head to the plateau for our walk   it lasted about 45mins   jasmine after awhile would just sit in the middle of the trail or head to a tree   once she got the tree idea that's all she did, head for the trees   i started laughing but kyle went and picked her up and carried her    she's still small   i'm still laughing about it......next after our walk, we headed over, picked up Tabou, then headed for our hike   i figured this was the best way to spend time with Tabou and get my hike in   well we hiked for 2hrs   i reached a point i couldn't go any further, so we headed back   not too far from the car Tabou was exhausted   she kept stopping me on the trail   i had forgotten this was the first time out for her for a walk, let alone a 2hr hike   so i've decided every sunday i'm taking her for a walk and every time i go hiking, i'm taking her along   she did really well on the hike   she wanted to greet everyone we came across so she's social   i took her off the leash momentarily and she stayed with us on the trail   we just kept running into people and so i put her back on the leash   she's a great rottie   a real sweetheart   it'll be great fun to have her with me when hiking   my dogs are accustomed to not being leashed and just running   so Tabou will be much easier on the trails  ....well kyle and i are both exhausted from the hike   i thought sure he had more energy, but not   so he's not even headed for the roller rink    so we'll chill tonite with another movie, although i'd like to get back to my book   maybe before bed  ....all in all it's been a good day  ......now for the latest with kyle & nicole, i'm going to wait a smidgen's longer to allow others to guess who haven't tuned in yet today...manana

and sorry no pics yet   i'll keep tryin   i forgot the camera on our walk and the kids were too tired when we got home   i don't have a flash and the indoor light was too dim   soon,   but not soon enough....

mornin'

so...how is everyone this day?   i'm sittin here this morn contemplating what time to attend church   since the past couple days i haven't been able to read my book, think i'll wait til the 11am service although i much prefer the 9am service   who knows by the time i finish this entry i may change my mind   it's going to be a full day  and i want to get a hike in today   i'm also going to see Tabou for her mother hasn't been playing with her for a couple weeks due to a toe injury   it's enough she leaves her outside all the time and not get much company   so, Godmother K will go play with her today   she's getting bigger   maybe i'll take her for a walk in the park    it all depends on time    i'll manage somehow   besides my hike & church, i need to grocery shop while kyle is rollerskating this evening   plus i wanted to take my kids for their walk    hmmmm....back to the 9am service 

anyways, kyle cleaned house for us yesterday   he does a really good job and i don't have to tell him to do it    i gave him a hug and thanked him and said he could go roller skating   he needs to get out of the house and let some steam off    he was headed there last nite, but it was too late    so we took Tjnya to walgreens drug store then came home and watched The Fast and the Furious   it was pretty good   kyle must know every movie there is   and remembers every detail about them    he sat and told me a little about last nite's movie    anyways, think i'm headed to church     i'll come back and let you know the news regarding Kyle and Nicole    anyone want to guess?

number 5

hmmm,  where to start tonite   maybe with 3:30am   my neighbor called me at this hour and asked if i was busy   i said yes and hung up on him   i don't even want to know why he called and i haven't seen him today   this is good...

now for this evening   my nephew and i went to the mall for a baseball cap   i need a new one   i don't feel like 'Life is Good' or 'Lucky 13' at the moment, my other 2 caps, sooo it was off for a new one   i wanted an American Eagle baseball cap i had seen a few weeks ago, however those were no longer available or at least not tonite   so we walked the mall  and walked the mall and ended up in Hat Zone   we were there for at least a half hour if not longer   it took me forever to decide   either another NM Lobo hat, or a Washington Huskie hat    so i browsed and browsed some more   finally i went back to the Boston Red Sox baseball cap i initially saw   small B on it and red sox emblem on the back   i liked the blue color and the fit   of course if i had noticed the price before purchasing, i'd probably had settled on one of the other two   o well, we do live only once right?

as we walked tonite, i got my nephew to open up to me   something was bugging him since i had arrived home    he didn't want to talk about it   so i let him Be    finally after several hours of no talking, i told him that if whatever is eating him keeps eating him that i would rather he talked to me    not too long after that he did open up   i would like for him to get in the habit of talking to someone when something's eating him    it doesn't have to be me, but someone    i've learned not to let things stew inside me   and i told him we could end up thinking other things about the aggravating subject and get carried away with it    anyways, it seems i told him the right thing   he's got plenty on his mind besides not having a job, which we both are positive that is soon to change   he's been angry for not having a job   he knows he has responsibilities and would like to take care of them   so last nite, i got online and looked on the online newspaper ads   found some things he could apply for today and that he did    he's been, and is, making every effort possible   he's just not being hired Yet    it'll come thru for him and i have no doubt he has learned from quitting the previous job   i just keep encouraging him and he keeps going  ....

so what does number 5 have to do with anything?   tonite i found Potter's 5th book for $10, paperback of course    all my other copies are paperback and in the near future i will buy the hardcovers for my library   then once my babies (nieces and nephews' kids) get older they can read the paperback copies    currently i'm half way thru the 3rd book and hope to complete it this weekend    ....

for now, well maybe?, we are going to watch 'The Fast and the Furious'    another  Van Diesel movie   i had no idea he was even in it    if not tonite, i'm sure we'll watch it tomorrow evening   i just looked at the time and it may be too late for the movie   my bedtime is in twenty minutes   i'm finally beginning to feel i'm unwinding from the day   all ready to curl up in bed...

there's some other news that came to me last nite, but i'm going to hold off a little while longer before revealing it    yep, i'm keeping you in suspense   i can't even give a hint or you'll figure it out   it has to do with Kyle & Nicole   ...and speaking of which   i will be taking photos of Jasmine this weekend   maybe by sunday nite i'll have her pic posted   i realized a couple days ago due to my blues i just didn't get around to it last week   she's growing and playful as ever   never a dull moment around the house   i get a lot of laughs with her   just last nite she was playing tag with Charlie chasing him as he ran up and down the house    they're a lot of fun!

have a good one....laterz

 

Salty-yuk!

i started chewing on ice this afternoon after completing my soda out on the route only to taste my very salty lips - YUK!   i didn't know i lost soooo much salt while sweating in this heat and now with some humidity   i knew i got funky, but didn't know just how BAD it was till today    o well, so is the day in the life of a postal worker   the temps have cooled down 10degrees from last month and next to the mountains where i deliver there's a nice cool breeze to enjoy as well   fall is in the air and no doubt i must move closer to the mtns if not in the mtns by next year   living on the westside of the city it's hotter, longer   anyways, my goal for this next year is to be moved in that direction by the end of next summer  ...can't wait....

now my mood is great today   the blues have gone away and i saw my doc as well, my shrink   i check in with her every 2-3months and more often if need be   mostly though i see her every few months   my meds are working good overall   when i really need her, i call    i'll see her in 3 months:-)...so with my good mood, work was easy   i like it when i feel my old self   i feel and know i can do anything and am ready to kick some butt in some way, some how   i'm full of energy and ambition, but now i have limits     limits are good tho, therefore i don't overwork myself ...

well not much going on now   i'm halfway thru Potter's 3rd book   for my birthday i'm going to buy the last 2 books   will then start collecting them in hardback covers and loan out my paperbacks to my kids (nieces kids) when they get older   ...anyways, until something exciting, or not, happens,....laterz
