No Photography to share!

Well since I have not had any time or anybody to take pics of lately I thought I would share just a few random pics from my New Years weekend! I do not know why they are so small.. hmmm different computer... but Oh well! Anyways.. It has been I don't know how long since me and Leann and Lobsang have all had a weekend together.. Years! It was really fun.. me and Lobsang drove up to Tacoma and stayed with Leann at her place for 4 days. We ate out, had wine and treats.. shopped until we dropped.. laughed until we died..and danced! It was good to be with my two best friends again! Hopefully we can do it again soon! So... I was just thinking about it and I got a new handy dandy point and shoot for Christmas.. which has made me become lets just say LAZY.. I haven't broke out my actual camera for quite some time! SO this weekend I am going to pin down at least two of my nieces and nephews and get some updated pics of them.. I am feeling artistic.. and It needs to happen! SO I should have some new pics up here soon! Have a good Week! Gabby

Happy 09

Happy New Year EVERYONE! Anyone have good resolutions to share? Let me know.. I think besides the obvious weight loss which is an on going every year resolution...I think this year I am really going to make it my resolution to volunteer.. I don't know where or what but I am going to figure that out soon.. I just have been feeling like I need to volunteer some of my time lately and I am ready to get going! Let me know if you have any good ideas of places that I can volunteer! I hope everyone has an awesome and blessed new year! Gabby

Christmas is almost here!

Are you ready for Christmas? I am almost done with all my shopping! This is a pic of me and my sister's and my sis in law from the Christmas party my parents had this last Saturday! It was really fun.. and had way too many treats! If I can just make it a few more weeks until Jan 1 then I think I will survive the holidays without doing tooooo much damage to the progress I have made! Anybody have any good ideas for New Years resolutions? Besides weightloss.. because thats a given!

Run RUn RUN.....

So Sunday...Me, Lobsang and Leann all did the 5k Run for arthritis. It was soooo fun! It was called the Jingle Bell Run.. and everyone was wearing Christmas stuff and had Jingle Bells tied to their shoes. It was a great way to start the Christmas Season! I have always despised running...let me tell you! BUT, when you can actually run for a while it starts to become fun... I am totally becoming obsessed with the idea of being able to run farther and farther without stopping..to me it's such a challenge and I love it! Don't get me wrong I won't ever be the type that runs a marathon or something a year from now.. that would have to be a miracle. But these little 5k and 8k runs are very fun! We are going to do the Shamrock run in March.. and I can not wait to see how a few months of actually training improves our time from this run to next! Wish me luck! Oh and I pretty much owe it to Lobsang for talking me into the Jingle Bell run... I would have never done it without her prompting! SO THANKS LOB!

Thanksgiving

point and shoot cameras arn't the best Sorry!

4 am shopping rules! oooppsss sorry the pic is sideways

My mom in the morning after shopping rush!

Everyone minus Me! Getting ready to dig In!

My dad trying to move the Turkey from the pan to a platter.... Difficult task! Turns out we needed about 3 people to do it!

So Thanksgiving this year was pretty low key. Much more low key then normal. It was just my mom, dad, me, and my sisters in-laws and family. Usually its all of us.. but Josh was with his inlaws this yr and Kim was out of town. We did end up getting to see Matt and the kids later on in the evening. It was nice though... really relaxing! We actually spent alot of time crafting our plan for the morning after shopping spree! We ended up hitting alot of stores and shopping from about 5 am to 5pm. I didn't get too much stuff.. but Jessie pretty much finished up her shopping! I didn't end up seeing any crazy people pushing old ladies down for the last pair of socks or anything... although that would have made my day a tad more interesting! At the expense of an old lady that is.. so I guess it is a good thing it didn't happen! Hahahaha

Dog Park Fun!

Me and my God son Wilson

Katie and her God son Simon! JK I know thats cheap, it's just a dumb joke me and Katie always do!

Wilson, Tired from running around like CRAZY!

Simon pretty much smiling! hahahhaha

I don't know who he is kiddind, he has pee'd so many times there is no way he has any left. But it makes him feel good to pretend I guess! hahhhaah

Simon is not afraid of any one at the dog park! It is crazy.... he will see two dogs fighting or growling... he runs over and takes one of there sides and gets into the mix! And it always has to be like Pit Bulls or boxers... or something that is bigger then him by a MILE!

So I have to admit, I have turned into one of those dog park people! hahahah I never thought it would happen, but I am sorry dear friends it has. The dog park is a great invention! The first time I went I was like NO WAY these people are nuts! They are a whole different breed of human, but it turns out... I am one of them! Jk not really, kind of I guess.... Well anyways.. it is really great to be able to let Simon run around like crazy and not worry about him getting out.. its all totally fenced! So me and Katie took Simon and Wilson there on Sat. and let them run for a while.. It was fun! I think if people are going to have a pet, they need to invest a little time in them..so I try and get Simon out of the house as often as possible and let him run around, or take him on a walk..... Everyone warns me.. once I have a kid it will be different... I will be like Simon WHO??? And thats Totally Fine... but for now I guess he just passes the time!

SIME GUY

Simon is having some issues! Hahahha His hair do... Is in need of some fixing! Apparently since I have stopped taking him to work, and by the time I get off it's to dark to go to the dog park, he has nothing to live for! hahahah When I say that I mean he has become SOOO lazy.... He sleeps all day! And when I get up in the morning he just keeps right on sleeping.
I couldn't figure it out... and then
my mom goes I know why he sleeps all the time!
I was like why? She goes those new curtains in your room! I'm like what??? She goes they are so dark that he thinks its always NIGHT TIME! hahahahah.........I got thick chocolate brown curtains the other day and since it's winter and im never in my room anyways except for at night... I haven't really been pulling them open.. So my dog was all confused and thought it was always night! POOR LITTLE GUY!!! hahahhah This lack of energy and the fact that he's becoming an old man, has translated into a few extra pounds around the belly I have noticed lately on him..... He has always been so SKINNY.. but I guess being the worlds laziest dog will do that to yah! Until next time ADIOS!
