quicker than quick update...

1. Mark's bday was on Friday. Love you babe!
2. We had dinner out Fri, and dinner at relatives' houses Sat & Sun. That means I didn't have to cook dinner for 3 nights in a row. Love you even more, babe!
3. I think (fingers crossed here) my class is settling in and quieting down.
4. I am stocked up on candy for Halloween. (10 huge bags)
5. I found the Halloween decorations and put them out last night.
6. I hope to carve pumpkins this week.
7. I still haven't been to Kohl's.
8. I have been averaging an hour of Bejeweled Blitz per day.
9. I have not been working out.
10. I have a new email: nbergenske@yahoo.com

So, send me a message!!
Love, Nancy

Drat!

It's been 3 days and Manuela never called back. Now I have to go searching for a new internet provider. Any suggestions?

P.S. Cocktail recipes will also be accepted.

sunday boozy sunday

It is Sunday night at 8:11... and I am drunk! I had a few goals for the weekend...
1. Clean the bathroom (didn't do this)
2. Go to church (check)
3. Clean my kitchen (check)
4. Call my sister in law (I called, but she hasn't called me back0
5. Go to the Fire and Light Sale with Cindy (this happened at the last minute, but was fun and well worth the 1 1/2 hours in line)
6. Work out twice (I worked out once)
7. Get my email problems worked out.

Ahhhhh... here's the problem.

I called my lovely email/internet/cable provider and I was on the phone for 56 minutes. Now if this were my first try to fix my email issues, maybe that wouldn't be so bad. But, it was my 4th try. Since Sept. 12th! And, first, I was accused of being a criminal trying to break into someone else's email. Then, I was apologized to and helped. But, Manuela, the unfortunate girl who ended up trying to help me, did all of the things that the other people did the other 3 times I called, and (just like the other 3 people who promised to solve my email issues) She is supposed to call me tomorrow... with all the problems solved. If she doesn't Mark and I have decided to change our email/internet/cable providers.
I was so stressed out by the end of 56 minute call, that I truly thought my brain might explode. So I invented a new cocktail. (I love the word 'cocktail') It was a strawberry limeade. With Vodka. Lots of Vodka. And now I feel better.
But let's hope Manuela can work it out, because if she can't I'll have to go through all the trouble of changing email/internet/cable providers. And that just might cause my brain to explode.

Cheers, on a Sunday.... Love, Nancy

I *heart* weekends

I had a great weekend last weekend. My sweet Granny came over from Hayfork and spent the weekend at my Mom's. So, Saturday we got to spend the whole day together. I met up with them at Madi and Livi's soccer game.

The best part is always after the game when all the parents make a tunnel for them to run through.


After that we went to my house and got my family, and then to lunch at Cafe Marina.
That's Mason and Kyla with Granny.

After lunch, Granny, Mom and I drove to Blue Lake to put flowers on my Grandpa Bill's and Uncle Tim's graves.

This is Mom and Granny walking into the cemetary.


It was a great day of visiting, catching up and laughter.

October

October is here. School is in full swing. Kyla and Mason have both had colds and missed one day. I've had a sore throat for 3 days with no other apparent symptoms. The kinders are starting to get the hang of the routine. They are more focused on their work, but they still like to yell out across the room to one another. They are a busy bunch. I have a dentist appointment soon. My mom's birthday is coming up. I am one month late getting new contacts and the ones I've been wearing since August are starting to feel a little weird. Tonight when I turned around from eating dinner it looked like the kitchen was filled with smoke. I also need an appointment with the gyno. Things feel like they're piling up. I have given up trying to work out in the morning. My alarm would go off at 5:31 and I'd push snooze. Then at 5:40 I'd push snooze again. At 5:49 I would get out of bed, turn on my lamp, reset the alarm for 6:21 and go back to sleep. It just isn't in my genetics to pop right out of bed. Even though I liked the feeling of having my work out out of the way, most days I just couldn't handle it at 5:31. So now I'm walking Pepper almost every day and doing a little yoga and weight lifting.

Goals for the month:
Read 2 books
Work out at least 5 days per week
Go to the class I am taking to get a unit increase at work every Tuesday
Have drinks with Shelly
Watch my nieces play soccer
Create 5 scrapbook pages
Write a few notes to friends/relatives
Go to church every Sunday
Get at least 8 hours sleep each night (9 is better)
Take pictures with my film camera since the digital one I wanted is never coming (again, out of stock)
