Ruidoso Trip Day 1-Friday

We left a lunch today for Ruidoso!! It was a fun trip down (across) here. Mom, Shelby, Jenny and I traveled in mom's car. It was my first trip with my new IPod and I loved it!! It's so great not to have to worry about searching for stations to listen to and every other station in New Mexico is Tejano!! Just what I love to listen to! It was fun and great until....


I was trying to get every ones attention that there were two dead cows on the side of the highway outside of Plains, TX. As soon as I turned around to get Shelby's attention..... she threw up! Mom veered off to the ditch and we all jumped out! Poor thing...I told her to take her pants off and she wouldn't because she was on the side of the road and said someone she knows might pass by us!! She was in high spirits! We got all cleaned up and were on our way again. She gets car sick sometimes.

We got here about 3:00 and had plenty of day light get settled in the cabin. We are staying at the Rainbow Lodge RV and Cabin Park. It's beautiful! The cabins are converted RVs with a tiny hide away upstairs....which is where I'm sleeping! Good thing hot air rises. It's about 30 degrees and "raining/sleeting/snowing" outside. The forecast is calling for snowish stuff until about noon tomorrow. Shelby, Michael and Jenny are all going skiing while mom and I sip our hot chocolate in the Lodge and people watch. They are kind of bummed because only 2 runs are open and they kinda suck. It's not worth the money and the long line for the one chair for me!! They have a bar...I can watch the Tech game.

Granny, Pop, Mom and I went out to the Inn of the Mountain Gods tonight to try out luck at the slot machines. I did well! I played on 20 bucks for two hours!! That's good for me! I played a Wizard of Oz theme machine and in one bonus spin doubled my money! Mom has the magic touch though she left with about 3x her money and I left....empty handed. Tomorrow Michael, Jenny and I are going to go play some Texas Hold 'em. I have been playing for fun for about a year and a half now, I should do well. Who knows...I'll update.

It's midnight here and I'm waking up early for the good coffee. Love to everyone. Check back tomorrow night for another update on my random trip to Ruidoso!!

Oh, I've got a joke...

How do you get a giraffe into a 'fridge?




Open the door shove him in and slam the door shut.....How do you get an elephant into a 'fridge?





Same thing??NO......



Take the giraffe out, shove him in and slam the door shut....



All the animals were at a meeting....who wasn't there???



The elephant, he's still in the 'fridge......You are walking along and come to a river you have to cross. The sign says "Crock infested waters" how do you get across??


Take the bridge???No, there isn't one....it's the wild........


Just wade across, they are all at the meeting!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!! Love it!

Blah

That's about how I feel right now. Blah......


I had a wonderful birthday and I knew that I was going to crash sometime...it happen yesterday. I had a blast! A few friends and I went to a new piano bar in town. It was fun. (Details removed here after re-reading....go figure that something happen to upset me on my birthday......) I am more pissed at those who are very close to me....family......that did not even call to say happy birthday.....Oh well, one of them, I'm used to and I guess I should not expect much out of him but the other one surprised me.... I had been so sick and partied a little too hard and disrupted my recovery so I am paying for that now. I have been held up in bed for a day and a half and about to bust out! But, I don't feel good. I'm sick of being sick.

I had an awful dream last night! My dream was about school. I was taking a spelling class (?) and some sort of biology class and FAILED THEM AND HAD TO PUSH MY GRADUATION BACK!! Super bad dream. I woke up and for a minute I thought it was true!! Oh well. I'm having a hard time finding things to keep myself busy. The sub jobs have super slowed right now and I'm lucky if I"m working 3 days a week. Should I get a part time job?? I just feel they would not hire me because I would have to be gone the week of Christmas. We will make it work! or at least try. I am getting so sick of sitting around the house not doing anything. I need some excitement in my life!

Okay well, I'm going to go back to doing what I've been doing all day.....nothing.


It's only Monday but I am very much looking forward to a great weekend of kicking some OU butt and hanging with my great friends!! Part 3 will be the best ever!!!

Nov. 5, 2008 - The Day After

"Hope Won" - Oprah


Well, it's been a long time and I figured what an occasion to write but the day after the most important election in our history as a nation. The magnitude of this decision we made is huge and speaks to the change our country needs. I am not saying anything bad about Bush, I voted for him! America needed this President to prove that America is the land of opportunity where ANYONE can be President, no matter the color of their skin!

Another interesting point...Obama had 32% of the youth vote (18-29)! 4 years ago it was only 9%! So many young people came to his side and I love it! As a young person in America, I am proud of the decision that my generation made!

Moving on....What else.....

I am finished with my classes at Wayland. Student Teaching starts Feb. 23rd! I'm bummed it's starting so late but oh well. I am so sick of substituting! It's the only aspect of teaching I can honestly say I hate and cannot wait to be done! I would rather be cleaning up puke on the sidewalks after the Tech game than substituting! The pay sucks, the kids suck and some of the teachers suck. It's like I am less of a person because I am subbing. I thought I felt that as a para-teacher last year but man subs are treated like crap! The only good thing is that I can take days like today when I schedule myself unavailable to rejuvenate and go at it again tomorrow.

How about them Red Raiders!!!! 1st in the Big12, 2nd in the BCS and AP!! 3rd in Coaches!!!! It's a great time to be a Lubbock-ite!!!! This weekend against OSU will definitely tell us how good we are!! (I think I already know) It's going to be hard because Tamey made me a secret, closet OSU fan!!!! We shall see!

I have a headache so it's bye bye time.

Peace, Love, Obama!!!
