I am on the Road:
Hey everyone just a little bit of info for you all. It looks like it is my turn to leave home for awhile. It has been 5 years now that Robbie and I will be seperated again. As you all know that I have left my previous job and have returned to work at Walmart. As it turns out that they(walmart) like the job that I have been doing for them in the last and some that they are going to send me away. I am going to get the chance to go to another store to help them go from a regular Walmart to a SuperWalmart. I will be gone for 2 months to Edmonton to work there. They are paying for the hotel, food, travel and LOTS 'n" LOTS of Overtime hours for me. I am so looking forward to meeting new people and learning new parts of the job to futher myself with the company. It is rather short notice though considering today its mid Friday right now and they want me there for this monday. I did though just get a call saying that I now don't need to be there till the 19th of Feb. PHEWWWWW now I can take my time and get everything I need and not forget anything. I have a ton of stuff to do so I'll post more when I come home on weekends or when I'm done there in April sometime.
Ciao Everyone!!! For those of you still here in Cold Lake if you can PLEASE check up on my boys to see if they are okay. Be careful though if you just pop by the house they might be snuggling on the couch in their underwear so you better CALL 1st. thanks!!! SEE you in APRIL!!

"FUNDO FUNDO FUNDO"
Well we went out and bought a Fondue Fountain. Last nite we tried it out. A few very good friends came over to try it out. Justin glad that you had a great time with it. We'll do it again for you. Never had the fun of a "Fundo fountain" before and it was great to do. I did get photos of it for the blog. I as usual cannot for one get them off the camera and the new scan card reader is not working either. And the pic were great too.
As for the "Pink Ladies" you two were funny as all can be. The liquor pump will be fill again for next time (what do you want in it this time). Robbie it was great to meet you. Kind of wierd having 2 Robbies in the same room though. Especially when they both answer at the same time.
OHHHH thanks honey for the PS2. Even though we didn't play it this time but when the ddr pads arrive and we pic up the game. Next time will be a hoot. Gracie & Mecell get your dancing shoes on we are going to get the challenge on!!!! DANCE DANCE DANCE and chocolate fountian here we come ( a few drinks might helps all dance though) BY the way NO video cameras yet till we're all good at it

Welcome to 2007:
Well the new year has started and a few things have changed here for us. To end 2006 I did it by quitting my job with the commissionaires. After many weeks of a very unpleasant work environment and the doc telling me to find something else was it for me. After talking things over with Robbie and hooking up with yet another job. I put my notice in for the 24th of Dec. to be my last night. That was a great stress now gone for me but still had time to put in before the end. The morning of the 24th we went home to MJ for Christmas. It was short but always a good time. Spent time with the family and friends that we have not seen in a very long time (Chopper and Kids and the Blash's).
On the 28th of Dec I went BACK TO WALMART. YES you read me right I went back to WALMART. I did though go back on my terms and wants for a job. Surprizing to me that they said yes. So Delpha you got me back enjoy. I am quite enjoying myself these days there with NO STRESSand a life back to myself. Since I have been back there I can now spend time with my friends and do crafts again. I even get to have supper almost every night with my boys now.
We had a games night here last weekend but ended up more as a "FUN"do (aka fondue)Night than anything else. It was a good time. Next time we are going to do a fajita (Mexican) night and will play games right Gracie?????
Anyway I also wanted to show you all the great Christmas gift I got from my mom. It took me a bit to hang it up. Just so you know mom. It inspired me to get out my sewing maching again a give it another chance at what I might be able to create. So you might get a quilter out me yet. Ahhhh don't hold your breath too long on that one though. I did though last night make 2 wheat bags for us too use and now Robbie won't give the one up ( the one for the heat) So it looks like i'll have to go make another one.
Since I have bored you all to death I'll let you look at mom's quilted hanging and enjoy

Happy 8th Anniversary:
Well today is our 8th wedding anniversary. It has been a good day so far. We have been just lazy all day so far. It doesn't help that Robbie has hurt his back last week either. To let you all know what has taken place today we have to go back in time a bit.
Well ever since we have been together, Robbie has always talked the talk of getting a Tattoo and not know what he'd like done. I never believed that he ever would get one done. Considering he for one doesn't like blood, pain and needles for that fact. On Friday during the day he heard a song on the radio playing. It was by the music group "Heart- Dog and butterfly" Not thinking too much about it at the time. But come Sunday morning after watching Rocco and myself sleeping. That is when he decided that is what he wanted done for a Tattoo. Since I love butterflies and he loves that little dog. This is what he suggested. I helped a bit due to the fact that he wanted it in cartoon form. There was no way that I was going to look like a "Bart Simpson Butterfly with a gas can" with the saying "no one would suspect the butterfly" Well needless to say we found a pretty butterfly and added my eyes into the wings. It was great seeing Vern from the "Electric Crayon" http://www.theelectriccrayon.ca/ worked his magic yet again. Well Robbie finally did it....he got his 1st TATTOO. Thanks Vern for a great job. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ROBBIE!!!

Chinese Christmas Gift Exchange:
Well this was a 1st for us. Robbie and I went to the "Electric Crayon" http://www.theelectriccrayon.ca/ Christmas Party on Saturday night.
Everyone (almost everyone) dressed up in dresses and suits for the night
We all had a bit to eat drink and laugh. Gracie, Vern, Vern, Charla, and
Jason all looked great as you can see but Jason wouldn't pose for the camera
Gracie
Vern
Charla
The best part of the night was the gift exchange. It was fun to see what people got and what was stolen many many times through out the night. It was a toss up for who would get the MP3 Player, i-pod docking station, margarita mix or the ring. Having lost the MP3 Player too many times and other other 3 items just as many times. I ended the night with the wine glasses, candle holder and snow globe. Robbie brought home a DUCK, sling shot and camera. He is very pleased with his DUCK (Our dog is scared of it though). Thanks guys for a great night. Hope that you all come over for Baja Boxing Day

Decorating for the Holidays:
Well I'd show you some pictures but my digital camera won't download them to my computer. Last Tuesday feeling rather festive I set out to decorate for the holidays. I bought that fake snow for the windows. Made them all look great with lights and all. I then down stairs to get all fun stuff. After what seemed a million and one trips , I finally got started. The christmas tree was the last box up. I set it all out on the couch ,went to find the feet to set it up. NO feet to be found anywhere. So being very sad I set out for Walmart for a new tree. Found a nice "little" tree and came home. Boy oh Boy was it ever a "little" tree even on a stool it looked small I even tower over it. Which doesn't enstill any kind of confidance considering I too am vertically challanged. After being very frustrated I returned to Walmart with the tree in tow and got a tree stand. Finally after 3 very long hours the tree was UP!!! (It was like the 3 stooges in the house decorating and to think it was only me there decorating)
On thursday I had a few friends over to help decorate the tree. Still no pics I cannot get the flash card to even work on another computer. And now the camera won't accept the flash card in it anymore either. HEY SANTA I'd like a new camera for Christmas!!!! Well the tree looks great (thanks Gracie) On Sat night we had a pre-cocktail party at the house for Robbie's work Christmas party. It was fun and a lots of people showed up too. In the end we all ended up back at the house and sat around till 5am sunday morning chatting and having a few cocktails. It was great time. Put me more in the mood for Christmas this year.
Sorry Mom, Dad, and family that we cannot come home this year but our thoughts will be with you! To all our friends and family from Robbie, Rocco and myself , I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year!!! For those of you sticking around Cold Lake you all invited to "Baja Boxing Day" at our place. It's a potluck of leftovers so please feel free to stop by anytime after 4pm Boxing Day (it's also a byob)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2007

So the Addiction continues:
Well it looks like the "Electric Crayon" (http://www.theelectriccrayon.ca/ ) rules again. Vern tattooed our friend Randy yesterday. Vern has done a great job as usual. It was rather exciting to watch and listen to the tattoo gun as he worked his magic yet again. The sound of the gun humming away was making me very envious of the work Randy was getting done. I am so looking forward to getting more art done. As long as the butterflies in my cover up are still NOT smiling back at me. The "crack butterflies" are so not going to happen this time around RIGHT VERN!!! Yes Randy if you want to come watch but you'll be bored silly since I'll be having a great nap that day. So those of you who need to fill your addiction to some great art get ahold of Gracie and the gang over at the "Electric Crayon" and she'll hook you up for it.

My B'day!!
Well yesterday was my 35th b'day. Robbie made it a whole weekend party with friends. It started on Friday night at North of 54 (local pub/restaurant) Robbie's boss Randy invited us out for supper for my b'day and he invited a few of the guys from the shop with their wives. It was a good time spent with friends. We ended up at the jr ranks for a few games of pool. On Saturday night we went to BINGO (with Robbie and Randy)and then out with a few of my friends that I have met since we have been in Cold Lake. On Sunday Robbie took me out for breakfast with our friend Toots. In the evening we went to a local pub again and played more pool listened to the Grey Cup (also Robbie and Randy). It too was a great time. Thanks to Robbie and Randy for a great weekend. Mom and Dad it's okay that you forgot it, thanks Paula for reminding them. =) Well at least you all call eventually though. Mom thanks for the great blanket that Rocco now thinks he owns. Carol thanks for the homemade card and money (going to go the new scrapbooking store here to find some fun stuff)

NEW IMPROVEMENTS:
Well the up upgrades to my new little car have started. This past weekend Robbie and I headed into Edmonton. We drove in on Thursday night on not so good roads (about 1 hour east of ED the roads were very very icy). YES the car is dirty but it's highway ick. Well the tinting took about 3 hours to do, so we hung out at the West Ed Mall (Rocco was at the tint shop). While in the city I got my 1st oil change done and it was free!! I guess bringing the shop guys timmys was a good plan ( a few coffees and timbits ). I am hoping to add driving light,new taillights, led lightbar, a magnaflow exhaust and K&N filter oh and fancy smancy spark plugs with wires. We did realize that we NEED better tires for the winter too so guess what I get for CHRISTMAS. So as you can see below the new and improved photo of my little toy.
