Yultide Joy!!!!!

So I was sitting at work this morning and the phone rings so I answer it like normal and it was a recording from Kost 103.5. Normally I would just hang up immediately but for some reason I decided to listen....who knows, maybe they were letting me know that I had just won a prize or a free vacation...... hey, a girl can dream can't she??? Anyway, they were calling to say that staring today they will be playing their Christmas music.......UM AWESOME!!!!!!!! So as I am writing this, I am rockin out to Christmas music at work. I know it is a bit early, but yes....I love Christmas music and now since a radio station is playing it, I feel like that gives me permission to bring my CD's out!!!! I am very excited for the Holiday's and am kicking off today by listening to my Christmas music. YAY!!!!

WE'RE BURNING UP............

..........well....not anymore......but over the weekend, it sure felt that way. I for one was a little worried that we were going to have to be evacuated. We were about 1/2 a mile away from one of the areas that was evacuated. On Saturday I think I got about 2 hours sleep....maybe. I kept waking up and each time, I could see the flames from Carbon Canyon a little closer than before. We even had our stuff packed up just in case. Here are a few pics from my house!!

These shots were taken before I actually saw flames......I tried to get pictures of that but it was too dark and was not showing up on my camera. Plus, the flames didn't make their appearance until about 1am and when I was outside....the coyotes were howling and it was a little scary!!!!

Anyway, I'm so glad that we didn't have to evacuate and my house was okay. My heart goes out to those that lost their homes and I am so thankful to those firefighters who worked round the clock to get these fires out and protect as many homes as possible.

It's Official......

........I will be going under the knife to have my gallbladder removed on November 24th. For those that don't know, I have a large stone in my gallbladder and so to prevent infection or blockage, it will be removed all together. It will be a laparoscopic procedure so the recovery time should be failry short so that will be good. I am just happy that I won't have to go through another attack. I imagine a heart attack would feel somewhat similar to what a gallbladder attack feels like.....I don't know......but I'm fairly sure. Anyway, besides that, everything else is good and I will gladly be accepting prayers as I am a tad bit nervous!!!!!!

For the Love of Your Job!!!

This past weekend I was out running around town and as I sat at a red light on the corner of Peyton and Chino Hills Pkwy, I saw something very amusing, so I thought I would share it with all of you!!! This picture is kind of crappy, but this is what happens when you see something blog worthy, and all you have is a cell phone! Anyway......I looked over and this guy(in his 60's or so) was holding one of those signs for model homes and was rockin' out with his iPod.......and when I say rockin' out.....I mean ROCKIN' OUT!!! It was very funny because he was very noticeable and very energetic. And, even after I had been gone for about an hour or so, when I passed this intersection again, he was still rockin' out just as hard as when I had first driven by. If only we all enjoyed our jobs as much as this guy!!!

Yes on 8!!!

I am so glad that the elections are alomst over. I can't believe how immature some people are being about this. I personally have lost a few friends over this issue. The thing that gets me is that apparently it is okay for them to have their beliefs, but it is not okay for me to have mine. I don't get it.

Anyway, I am voting yes on Prop 8 becasue I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. I have nothing against homosexuals, however, I believe marriage is a sacred act between man and woman for the purpose of procreation. So please if you feel the same way, go out and vote YES ON PROP 8!!!!
