Cranberry & Pineapple Continued.....Again.

[Jrsy Boy]

Is it bedtime yet?

Hope not...Alex and I need to do some Christmas shopping before bed...and I need to pick up some booze for a certain party on Friday night.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

and I need to pick up some booze for a certain party on Friday night.

I will try and keep Chris away from that on Friday.

Jrsy - How was the walk to the lightrail today? I was driving to work and Chris's truck said it was -16 outside, and then got to work and 9 news said with the wind chill it was -32. Hoping you bundled up and managed to stay warm.

Of course since it is so cold, my darn cold water pipes froze up. We ran the water last night and kept the cabinets opened with a ceramic heater but they still froze.

Wow, it is cold outside. I got up and took Rachel to school. I know it is very close, but at -6 when we left I didn't want her to freeze. Last time she walked when it was really cold she was grossed out that her snot froze.

I am staying home with Jacob today. He still had a fever last night and was really miserable. He is still sleeping right now, but when he gets up if he still has a fever I am calling the doctor again. I would think that with two days of antibiotics in him he would start feeling better. They had said that if he still had a fever on Thursday to come in, but I will be calling today if there is no improvement from yesterday. This is ridiculous. He has been miserable for too long. I feel so bad for him.

Sorry about your pipes Heidi.

At our house, the thermometer read -7 but the sign with time & temp that I pass walking to the station said -10. I thought it was bad yesterday when it was 4 degrees. I'm happy to be inside.

Brad was pretty cold too. He had his long johns on for sure today.

Hi. I am sorry i've become a stranger, it helps that I get to keep up with everyone on Facebook. I kinda got pretty down for awhile and then was juggling Aerial back in school, her 16 birthday and a trip to Vegas. Then the craziest thing happened. I was pretty down, Aerial was going to her Dad's for the weekend and I didn't want to face a weekend alone. My bff and i talked on the phone for a little while and I told her I was going to have a drink and go to bed as soon as it was dark and maybe things would be better in the morning. So, at 8 I went to sleep. Well, around 10;30 i wake up to my doorbell ringing over and over. My bff had tried to call a few times, knock, then ring the doorbell. She said next she was going to bang on my window. I open the door and the first words out of her mouth were I love you (so I wouldn't be mad at her for waking me) Then she says, let's get tattoos. Yes, she was sitting there at her house trying to figure out how to cheer me up and knew that would be fun. So, I get dressed and we head to the tattoo shop. Well, the owner did my last one and two of Jeri's. So, we requested him. She has always been convinced he liked me but I never payed a whole lot of attention, except that I knew I enjoyed having conversations with him while he did my tattoos. So, to make a long story short, I went outside for a bit while Jeri was getting hers done and she took it upon herself to tell Gary that if he asked me out I would go. She told him that she wished I just had someone in my life that I could spend time with and she knew he liked me. I had no idea she was doing this. Well she told me in between our tattoos but he never said much to me. So, we leave and in the morning he texts me and asked me if I was seeing anyone. We talked awhile and he asked me out that night. I told him I just wanted to get to know him without any pressure, our career choices are much different and I wasn't sure what I wanted. Now it's been almost a month and we see each other everyday. I am not even trying to figure it out, just going with the flow. I do find it odd, but yea not surprising, that I have dated some very pretty boys in the past 3 years, but the one that i have finally clicked with is a "bad boy" but he has a good heart. He has 4 sons, 3 live with him. Twin 15 year olds and a 6 year old who I've fallen in love with. It's very different for me because I have never really dated a man with kids. Last night I didn't make it over there before his 6 year olds basketball practice and when he came in I was the first person he wanted to talk to, he's yelling Marcie from the door, I say what baby, he says, you missed my practice. Very cute! Then I made plans with the twins to take them shopping this weekend to get their dad his Christmas present. And to make things even better, Aerial really likes all of them too. I am trying to not worry about what is going on and just enjoy having someone to care about again right now. In my profession there are people who are not going to understand me being with him. But, at the same time everyone says i look so happy lately. At least I don't have to explain to my parents.

Oh he's working on the stencil for my next tattoo, it's a bad girl tinkerbell. It's going to take a few hours because it has a lot of detail.

I was sad when I left Vegas this last time because I will not be going back until next summer and I've made a lot of friends out there, but it was so exciting to have someone to come home to. We have been inseperable since i got back.

I hope everyone is doing okay, and I'm going to try to be in better touch.

Marcie - Good to see you posting. We missed you. Sounds like you are doing good. Who cares what anyone at your work thinks about his profession. You have to post your tattoo when you get the bad tinkerbell, I love her! Glad you have someone to spend your time with. How is work going?

Work, is picking up a little. Not too bad yet, but i am really not mentally ready for tax season. Last year left me pretty burned out, plus the things going on in my personal life this year, my Mom, Aerial's stuff. I really wish there was no such thing as tax season. But, I'm thankful I have a job.

I will definitely post a pic. We talked about it and the plan is for him to do the outline in one sitting and the color in another or two. One thing I am concerned with is us getting right in the middle of it and a customer walk in and i have a half finished tattoo. But, hopefully it won't take too long. My ear got a little infected this weekend where he pierced the cartliage and he had to drain it, twice. I almost passed out the first time, so Sunday after he did that he was working on the stencil but I was not in the mood for more pain. Anyway, hopefully after he gets over the cold he has we will get on with it. I am getting it on my stomach, i think, above the "believe".

I missed y'all too.

MARCIE, omg, you were soooo missed! Your happiness is more important than his profession! Cute story about the 6 year old. I have always said that it doesn't pay to know us......now you are wrapped up with TWINS too. I think it is great that Aerial gets along with them. She could go the opposite and be jealous.Great daughter! I was thinking about you the other day and tax season approaching.

Cristi, good thing I wasn't drinking when I read your post.... Rachel and frozen snot. Keep us posted on Jacob. I agree with you. I wouldn't think that he should still be running a fever.

According to channel 2 the official low was -17.

Loved the frozen snot comment.

The twins aren't 100% identical, but after a month I still have to pay attention to details to make sure I know who i'm talking to. They look alike about as much as Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen. Sometimes I am not even sure which one i have with me if i only have one. Aerial likes them, they are outgoing, which helps with her shyness and love video games. And, well with her interests in art, she is loving being around the shop. The one who I thought would have the problem is the 6 yo. He is a big time daddy's boy. He won't even spend the night at his Mom's house. But, somehow he has accepted me. He's always asking me how long i'm staying, wants me to go to his practices and stuff. When I went to Vegas he told Gary's Mom that he was glad his gf was going out of town so he would have his daddy all to himself for the weekend. Then, by Saturday night he made his dad call me in Vegas to ask me what time I was coming home so he would be awake to see me.

Thanks for the opinions, I am just not going to worry about it and let it all fall into place.

How are Tyler and Joey doing?

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Marcie - That is so cute about the 6 year old. I am glad it is working out with Aerial. I think the girls come down to see me now instead of Chris, but they are just at that difficult girl age where it gets tough to relate to dad's. Tyler and Joey are doing okay. Joey is very talkative and she is Miss Sassy, she is so spunky and fun! Tyler is still having seizures. He is being a little bugger and not eating what he needs to for his very restrictive diet so he is having more seizures. I was very proud of him though because he use to only say "love you" while talking to me on the phone but now he is actually saying "I love you too" so hoping his verbal skills are getting more developed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRISTI!!​

(a day early)

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Happy Birthday Cristi
How is Jacob doing?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Good morning. It's a heat wave already. I think it might be 10 right about now. LOL

 

[cristit14]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I kept Jacob home today. He seems to be doing a little better though. His temp is 99.8 so not really a fever. Hopefully it won't go up. I would really like for him to go to school tomorrow.

 

[Jsme]

Selena, Rachel just turned 14 last month. She is going to have a blast at her friend's house. They live in Elliott IA. She will be flying in to Omaha, NE. It is about an hour drive from there I guess. Her friend just moved there this summer. Her dad built a house there. It is huge, something like 8000 sq ft.

Jacob has pneumonia. Poor kid. He has had a fever since last Tuesday night. Yesterday was really low grade all day, but he woke up with 100.8 again today. Brad stayed home with him and took him back to the Dr. He is on antibiotics now and hopefully those will kick in pretty soon.

Holy Cow!!! Poor Jacob. I hope he is feeling better.

Rachel is a year younger than Erik. He has a Novmeber birthday as well and turned 15 then. MacKenzie will be 17 in April

I hope she has fun.

It is a commuter train, running from the south suburbs into downtown Denver. You can see some pictures of it here:

Thank you. That is what I thought but was unsure.

Jrsy - How was the walk to the lightrail today? I was driving to work and Chris's truck said it was -16 outside, and then got to work and 9 news said with the wind chill it was -32. Hoping you bundled up and managed to stay warm.

Of course since it is so cold, my darn cold water pipes froze up. We ran the water last night and kept the cabinets opened with a ceramic heater but they still froze.

Holy Flipping Cow...that is cold!!

 

[Jsme]

Have I not posted since Monday? Wow, I thought I had been posting. Crazy me.

Well I had to leave work early on Tuesday. You guys know I have had the cold. Monday I felt some better but Tuesday I was out of my cold medicine and I took something else which did not agree wtih me and I wound up having what I think was an allergic reaction. I was sick to my stomach and was broken out in a rash. I took my allergy medicine and things got better. Everyone was surprised I was at work on Wednesdasy which made me realize just how bad I looked on Tuesday. So, with that said I guess I let the days fly by without posting. I was on FB though. Well mainly doing that to do Farmville. I am so addicted.

Cristi, I posted Happy Birthday on FB to you BUT Happy Birthday!!

Did I mention that due to my health issues my doctor now wants me to find my birth parents. I was given up for adoption at birth and no next to nothing about them. I contacted a department in Raleigh about health records. I have to send them an offical letter with info. I am going to do that this weekend. My dad contacted my cousin who works in the Social Services in the county my adoption was finalized. I should have some type of info. Jeff's co-worker's wife works in this in Greensboro and she told Jeff to tell me to contact Social Services. Hopefully I am on the right track.

Would you guys believe still no Christmas Tree is up at my house.

Marcie do not worry about what your new BF does for a living or what type of bad boy he has been. Never judge a book by it's cover. If I had done that I would not be married to Jeff. We have been married 2 months shy of 18 years.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Wow Selena, what a week for you. Sounds like you are doing better. Maybe even a Christmas tree in your future. Let us know if you are able to find your birth parents. Sure sounds to me that you are on the right path. Good luck!
