Hey all,
Had a busy Wednesday. Took Kalyn to the doctor for a follow-up. They will be sending her to a nutritionalist. The lady has called me already to make an appointment, but I was on the phone with Dish network trying to get our new replacement receiver hooked up. I will call her back though. Got back to LA, had to go mail a few packages and then Kalyn went to school and I went and worked out! Had a good workout, then drove home, did a few things and then headed uptown to mail back the old receiver. I got a call from Nicole at Zia and she said to come in and sign the papers for the Jeep!!!! I was soooo excited!! Got all that done and then came home again and then had a massage at 5. Reuben took me to the Blue Window to eat to celebrate the loan that I got. It's so unbelievable that I got it!!! Had a really awesome day!!
Back to work today!!! But thankfully, it's Thursday!! Until next time...

Tuesday, my day off!!
Hey all,
Today was not as eventful as the past few days, so that was nice. I went uptown in the a.m. and opened an account at Zia Credit Union. If I get a loan, they are going to suggest that I do that anyway, so thought I would get ahead of the game here. I saw my former co-worker, Natalia, over there. She is now in charge of the tellers at Zia. She's originally from Russia and a very nice friend. She worked with my at Community Bank. So, chatted with her, opened the account and left. I then went over to The Blue Window to wait for Catrina to show up for lunch. We had a wonderful lunch (she paid...cuz she said she owed me) and we had good chats!!
I went home and had lunch ready for Kalyn when she came home for her school lunchbreak. She had asked me previously to do that for her!! After she left, I got on the computer and such and then went and mowed the lawn. Didn't feel like doing much else so I laid down and took a nap!! Woke up feeling refreshed and then got ready for work.
I will let you know how the loan goes tomorrow. I sent her an email stating that I dropped off the papers to her today while she was out and that I opened an account too. Until next time...

Monday, my day off!!
Hey all,
Had a busy, wonderful Monday off!! Kalyn went to school and Reuben went down to DMV to take care of some stuff, so I was at home, car-less, and decided to make some phone calls and take care of odds and ends. I save change in this one jar, so I got that out and was rolling the coin and then Reuben got back, so we headed out for our adventure down at Ojo Caliente (hot springs!!). It's a place that has several hot tubs/hot springs and then a regular swimming pool...all outside!! (His co-worker Kim had a punchcard for that place, so we got to go for free!!) It was a gorgeous, clear blue-sky day, a bit windy, but great!! We both got sunburned and we were only there 2 hours!! It was nice and relaxing!! We drove back to Los Alamos (Ojo is down the Espanola way) cuz Reuben had a 3 o'clock massage appointment for himself. He is supposed to get a massage himself for every 10 he gives other people. Kind of impossible sometimes.
Dropped Reuben off at his appointment and then headed over to Zia Credit Union to see if they could help me with a loan, now that I am officially debt-free!! The lady told me that everything looks really good to go ahead with the loan. She said she explained to her boss that due to the divorce, I had these issues and previous to the divorce, all my payments to creditors was phenomenal. SO...the nice loan lady is off today, but will get a hold of me tomorrow so we can get this done!! I'm so, so, so happy, you have no idea!! I go back to the bank on Thursday and can't leave Thursday or Friday cuz it will just be myself and Christine there, so I'm hoping we can take care of it all tomorrow!! Or possibly, someone could come to my bank and we could sign papers there. What a relief!!!
Kalyn requested chicken alfredo last night with garlic cheese bread, so that's what I made last night. Turned out really good. Kalyn has one month of school left!! She's excited. She got her jury duty part of her punishment done (for speeding) and now needs to work on her community service and defensive driving class. Both need to be done within a month, so I'm hoping she gets on that soon.
Today I'm going to lunch with Catrina and then I work at the gym tonight. It's supposed to be a nice day so will probably just mow the lawn and things like that.
That's all for now....take care!! Until next time....

Days off.....
Hey all,
Just an update to say hello and that my days off are going wonderfully!!! Friday I spent the a.m. vacuuming out the Jeep, then went to Kevin's and cleaned for 2 hours. (I've been trying to dust all the book shelves, etc and finally finished that project) I drove home and began cleaning at my house!! Got some walls washed, picked up cat hair along the walls on the floor, mopping, cleaning up K's room, bathrooms, etc. Got a lot accomplished on Friday. I stopped at lunchtime and picked up some tacos for K's lunch and picked her up from school. She drove back to school, so I was stuck at the house and decided it would be a great time to just clean. I did watch "Precious" in the afternoon, which was an ok movie.
Saturday, Reuben and I had to go to Santa Fe quite early. He had a 2 hr class to take for the duathalon that is going on today down in White Rock. (He is volunteering as a helper/masseuse for the racers. I was going to help too, but got asked to work/swap shifts with people at the gym. I'm working 10-6 today at the gym, which is the entire day that the gym is open!! LOL We usually have two people split it up, but both of them needed to swap and so I just offered to work the whole day if someone took my shift on Saturday. So, in the end, I get two extra hours which is always a good thing.) We went to IHOP, first thing, to eat, then went to Target as he had a giftcard and I wanted to get a few t-shirts and a pair of shorts. I ended up getting a new swim top (one I almost bought last time, but it was too expensive. This time it was 1/2 price!!), zip-up sweatshirt, bermuda shorts and some t-shirts, all for very little money. We then left there and had time to stop at Kohl's. EVERYTHING was 1/2 price!! Oh man...wish I had extra money yesterday!! LOL I did get 3 tshirts that were $5 each and another pair of shorts. I had a $10 off card from them, so only spent $20!!
I drove Reuben over to the massage school and then left him there. I then drove over to Walmart, looking for K's hair spray. She uses Fructis and they keep changing the style/formula so it's really difficult to find now and eventually we will have to switch to a different kind, but for now, this was my mission....to find the hairspray!! No luck at Walmart, all they had was the new stuff. Ok...next...
Drove up to Smith's.....no hairspray, but bought a magazine....Drove to Payless Shoes...nope no hairspray AND no shoes I liked....Drove to Kmart (thought of my Aunt Jacque)...nope, no hairspray. Drove to Walgreen's (thought of Aunt Julie)....YES, hairspray!! AND they had 2!! Bought both of those up and still had time to drive across the street to Bed Bath and Beyond!! Finally time to go get Reuben and head back to LA. He had a client coming in at 1pm and I had a facial scheduled at 2. Picked up some Taco Bell for K and headed back!!
The rest of the day was really nice. Had the facial, went to the gym and ran on the treadmill, then we came home and cooked ribs on the grill. Learned a new trick!! With the pork ribs, if you boil them slightly (like brats) the inside gets cooked and then you throw them on the grill!! You get rid of excess fat on the ribs this way. They turned out very moist and yummy!!! Saves grilling time too!!
Well, enough of my rambling....as you can see I am stalling to get ready to go to work!! LOL Looks like a gorgeous day today!! You all have a nice one! Until next time...

Winnings!!!
Hey all,
Every quarter at the gym, the owners draw two names out of this "kudos" box that we have at work. The employees receive the "kudos" when they do something extra around the gym like cleaning or a task she wanted us to do, etc. So, you put your little "kudos" in the box and then after the quarter is over, she draws two winners. Well, last quarter it was myself and Katie (an instructor) that won. We each won a $25 Chili's gift card and Reuben and I used it on Valentine's Day. THIS quarter, I won again!!!! I won a $40 gift card to the clothing store Beall's here in town and the other lady, JoAnn, won a $40 massage gift certificate to go see Reuben!! I'm glad I didn't get the massage coupon!! I think the owners know better!! LOL So, I'm all excited about my gift card.
Until next time....

My Friend Keith
Hey all,
Just thought you all would like to see the "other" man in my life!! He is 82 and his name is Keith Kelley. I try to stop over at his place for about 20-30 minutes every night that I am off from the gym. I check to make sure he is doing ok. Sometimes I have found him well and sometimes I have found him sick as a dog!! He is a very famous artist. He has his paintings all over the country, in museums, hospitals, etc. He has one that will be put in the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City soon. I took a pic of him today and some of his paintings to share with you all. We tease each other all the time that we are probably related as my grandmother's maiden name is Kelley. Spelled the same and everything. Kinda funny. Enjoy!!!
Until next time...

Blah, rainy Saturday.
Hey all,
Not a lot happening, but wanted to post about the day. It was a bit rainy this morning, but now the sun is out, so that makes me a bit happier today. Just feeling a little blah..not sure why..no reason to be down at all!! Oh well, I guess everyone is entitled to a "down" day.
I got to Kev's house about 8:45 this morning, started my dusting back in Tj and Diana's room and bathroom, then at 9:25 had to leave for my haircut appointment. Had a good chat with my stylist, Ruby, and then left and went back to Kev's to complete the cleaning. Got a lot done over there, but had to hurry at the end as it was getting close to noon and I had to be to work at the gym at 1. Got home in plenty of time to change, make my lunch and throw a load of laundry in the washer. Now I'm still working and it's almost time to call it quits.
I think I am making tacos and tostadas tonight. It's quick and easy and sounds good!!
Not sure what tomorrow holds....Gotta do laundry and then Reuben wants to go watch a group of people rock climb, so we may go do that. He is getting a facial at 10:30 so I will probably go for a run while he does that.
I have another small vaca at the end of the week. I am off Friday the 23rd and go back on Thursday the 29th. I have to work a full day at the gym on Sunday the 25th to help cover some people. I have a couple of appointments while I'm off so I'm hoping to do some scrap booking this time since I don't have a whole lot going on. I didn't request off from the gym cuz I would only work part of that time I'm off anyway. No big deal...
Okay...enjoy the day out there and love to all. Until next time...

Not too much....
Hey all,
Just a little update here....
Had a good weekend. Went to see "Date Night" on Friday night. That was really funny and we enjoyed it. Saturday I had to work all day. I cleaned at Angie's and then had to work at the gym at 1 until 7. Hung out at home for the rest of the evening watching "Couple's Retreat". Sunday, I cleaned my house, did laundry, went for a run outside in the beautiful weather and did a few things outside. Me and Reuben went to the store and bought stuff to make cheesesteak sandwiches. They turned out really good, quick and easy!! Then, I went to visit my 83 year old friend, Keith Kelley (yes, we might be related) and then came home and watched "Celebrity Apprentice". I only watch very few shows and that is one of them. It's pretty interesting.
Kalyn spent all day watching Lifetime shows in her room and doing homework. She is doing really well. School is almost over for the year. Only 6 weeks left!!
Well...gotta get going....love to all. Until next time...

Happy April....Fools!!!!
Hey all,
Not much to report but thought I would type a little something anyway...
Had a nice mini-vaca...I got a whole list of items checked off my list except for two things, so I'm very happy. Got some raking done, organizing, cleaning...you know..my usual duties all complete. I told Aunt Julie I'm ready for her to come visit now!!
I'm a little down today....but now I'm working at the gym so hopefully my mood improves. I can't be Miss Chipper ALLL the time!!! lol
Auntie Ann texted me today saying she won $10,000 on a scratcher lotto ticket. I replied.."no way"...then she replied..."april fools"...ugh...I totally fell for it!!! lol
For Easter, I am cooking some ham, scalloped potatoes, corn goo, rolls, fruit cocktail with coolwhip and then cheesecake for dessert. Sounds yummy and easy!! I think it will just be Kalyn, myself and Reuben eating. Was thinking of inviting Kev over also, but he has a girlfriend now so he may be doing something with her.
That's all I got folks...Until next time...
