Hey all,
Just thought I would let you know what's happening with us lately....
Today I got a wonderful massage first thing this morning since I didn't have to clean or work at the gym until later today. That was very nice...
Last night, myself, Kalyn, Tyler, Emily, Kev, Tj and Diana all met for dinner at DeColores. We gave Tj his Father's Day gift cuz they weren't around for the real event. We had a lovely time and they filled us in on their wonderful trip and how the house is doing on the market. They have a couple of real interests on the house, so they are hoping something comes through. Kev and them are looking at a house for him in Santa Fe today.
Kalyn will be going to Moab on the 25th of July. Reuben and I will drive her to Durango to meet up with Gram Barb and then we will have lunch with Auntie Julie. We go back and get her around the 13th of August. Kalyn will be in Moab for a few days and then will drive to Kansas with her step-mom Stephanie and Steph's daughter Cassie for a visit with her father when he gets back from California around the 2nd of August. Should be a good time for them.
It was good to see Tyler this weekend and last weekend. He's happy cuz he gets fed and his clothes cleaned for FREE!! LOL Love kids!! He is in town cuz of the Jemez Mountain Music Fest. Their band is playing today and then my friend Dave (and former coworker at the bank) is playing with his band on Sunday so, myself, Kalyn and Christine are all gonna wear our shirts with his bands' name on it and head up and see them play!! Tyler's band is Kamikaze Death and Dave's is Obelisk. I will take pics!!
We may have had a bear in the neighborhood last night. There was a tipped over trash can and then wood chips scattered and then also bear droppings out in the street!! Scary!!
The 4th was great. Had a good time with the kids and the food was abundant and the race was fun!! We had an awesome fireworks display and were able to get out of traffic and get home by 10:15!!
That's all I've got for now!! Eagerly anticipating my 40th birthday and to see how my Auntie Jacque whips up my apron and cushion!! Love to all!! Until next time...

Happy 4th of July!!!
Hey all,
Did I ever mention how much I LOOOVE the month of July?? Well, it has my favorite holiday and it also has my Birthday, so it IS my favorite month!!! So far the month is going along just fine!!
I ran the annual 5k race this morning. I did ok, but had a really good time with some of my friends there!! 3 of them had never run a 5k before and 2 of them beat me!!! LOL oh well....I was just out for a leisurely jog!!
Reuben invited over his daughter Nicole and her fiance, Tony, to come grill out with us here at the house. I made sure to ask K if it was ok with her. Tyler dropped by and he and Emily may join us also!! Should be fun and then tonight drive down to White Rock for the Fireworks spectacle...can hardly wait.
I have Monday off, so R and I plan to drive to Santa Fe real quick for a few things that he wants to check out at REI. He is also test driving a Honda Civic that he may buy and it will be nice to take it for a drive out of town to check how it handles, etc. It's a 2005 and would be very economical for him. He drives a 1989 Jeep Wrangler right now. Not very reliable and hard to get out of town in. LOL he will still keep the Jeep for getting in the mountains, etc. Kalyn gets to be the proud driver of his Jeep which makes it nice for ME to have MY Jeep back.
That's all I've got for now. Hope you all have a wonderful day!! Until next time....

Almost July...love summer!!
Hey all,
Well, it is now summertime in LA! Lovin' the warm sun beating down on us. I usually walk to the post office for the bank on a daily basis to check the mail, so it has been wonderful enjoying the heat beating down on me while I go there and back. Sometimes, Kalyn has the Jeep so I am unable to drive around for my lunchbreak, so in those cases, I have been walking as well. It's quite enjoyable!! lol
Speaking of Jeep, finally got my plate and registration yesterday!! Woohoo, it is officially MINE now!! So, so happy about that. I checked my credit report (everyone can check their credit for free online at annualcreditreport.com from all 3 agencies...just fyi..) and Zia shows up on my credit as me paying them for a vehicle loan. Very nice!! Everything on the credit report looks good. Had a few things under Shane's account that I am an "authorized signer" on, so I called those peeps up and had them remove my name. I have no obligation to them, but just in case, I wanted to cover my tracks.
All jobs are going quite well. Can't complain too much about that.
Went to the Isotopes baseball game on Sunday with Kalyn and Reuben. We had a great time and we also did some clothes shopping before the game. It was nice to be out of town for the day and do something fun.
Kalyn is working out the final details of going to see her Dad and Steph when he returns from being in California for the month of July for training. Steph will meet us in Durango to drop off Kalyn and then havent heard how she is getting back from Kansas yet. Steph is staying in Moab for the month of July while Shane is gone. She still has a 14 year old daughter that lives there and wants to spend time with her. Steph will drive her daughter and Kalyn to Kansas and then they will greet Shane home and then both girls will be there for a week or so. I think we are planning the dropoff in Durango for Sunday, July 25th.
I'm running the annual 4th of July 5k next Sunday. Looking forward to competing in it. I talked a couple of co-workers from the gym to run it also, and they signed up!! The power of persuasion!! hahhaha
Okay, well, that's all for now. Until next time....

Roses!!
Hey all,Here are some pictures I promised you!! The first one is the house with the top trim painted brown to match the rest of the trim!! We also took "The Schultz'" sign down and painted the house where that was mounted.
These are my beautiful roses that are blooming in the front walk/driveway area. I trimmed them back this year and been watering them religiously and look what became of all that hard work!! (not really that hard of work!!) I'm pleased how pretty they are!!
Thought you might enjoy those!! Off to Kev's house!! Tj and Diana put it on the market today and they had two showings already today and an open house is set for Sunday!! Kalyn had to go over and make sure the dogs were put up for the showings....so here we go!!! LOLUntil next time...

Sunday doings
Hey all,
Well, I got the three things done today that I had hoped to get done, so I'm a happy girl!! I mowed, painted the trim of the house and touch-ups by the windows, etc and got my workout done. I'm exhausted, but now complete with all jobs on the outside of the house!! Woohoo!!
Had a really nice weekend finally getting some things done around here for a change. This coming week I will have to be over at Tj and Diana's more to make sure all looks good for house showings and then I have to clean for the Courtright's at some point and then also my friend Angie. Always someone's house to clean. One of these days I hope to be done doing that. Once Tj's house sells, that will be one down, the Courtright's only need me once a month unless it is Spring cleaning time like we are doing now and then Angie twice monthly, but sometimes only once. Kinda sporatic, but it seems like usually they need me ALLL at the same time!! lol
Gonna watch "Night at the Museum 2" and do my toe nails and eat dinner (turkey brats), wish me luck!!

Pretty good week
Hey all,
Well the time is just flying by with Kalyn gone. I'm working and such and barely have time to be home to enjoy the quiet!! She should be back Tuesday or Wednesday and Barb will stay here overnight with her 3 little dogs. Should be fun. Barb will also pick up some of Shane's stuff he left behind at Diana's and also a couple of house decorating items here at my house.
My house was egged Tuesday night so I was pretty upset. Stayed up late cleaning up the mess outside. It was BAD!! K's bedroom window was just COVERED in egg and way up top of the house got it too. Ugh....I got through it. I finished cleaning up the grill cover today cuz that got hit pretty hard too. Plus, that egg smell STINKS!!! ick...
Today I changed out some screens for my windows. That was pretty fun and easy!! Tj gave me the screen and I bought the tool you use and some more cord, but didn't need the cord. I just recycled and used the cord already on the screen. I gotta work this afternoon so thought I would get some of this other stuff done around the house. The only thing left to do is mow the yard and paint the very very top of the outside trim on the front of the house. It never got painted when we painted a couple of years ago, so I will do that also tomorrow. All that should take less than an hour. Supposed to be really hot this weekend so that will be nice. I can go take my run in the sun!!!
Speaking of run, my new shoes are wonderful!! I should really be getting them a lot more often than I do. I can REALLY tell a difference in the running and the distance with the new shoes. Very nice. I like the Brooks brand. Very comfy and fitting for my foot.
Went out to eat with Tj and Diana before the Memorial weekend and now last night we went down to El Paragua in Espanola. They leave Tuesday for about a month long trip. They are driving up the Pacific coast highway from California all the way up to Vancouver. They will stay in Colorado with Jennie, Ryan and Katy for the 4th and then they will be back in LA until Aug/Sept. It's nice to have them back in town. They put their house up for sale and we shall see what happens. Kev and I are in charge of putting the dogs up when the realtor needs to show the house. I also have to go over there about every other day to make sure all is neat and clean for showings. Diana had the window people come and then they are coming back to clean the house (like take cobwebs down, take apart their big light fixtures and get all the bugs out, etc) so it should look really nice and then I can keep up with it after that for sure!!
Reuben helped me last weekend with things around the house. We got the swamp cooler going, the water all hooked up for the outside faucets, etc. He was a big help. I think I see a painter in my future for tomorrow while I mow!!! Until next time.... :)
